175. Asakusa and Geril

The night breeze blew through the veil-like clouds, revealing a dark blue canopy of stars that looked like broken diamonds, and in the sultry night, several bonfires were lit around the camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The four fields are quiet, so weird that you can't even hear the sound of insects, and the moist wind comes with a faint smell of corpses, no need to guess to know, those zombies are dormant in the night not far away, trying to find some time to devour this group of fresh flesh and blood.

Expecting that the swamp zombies might attack our camp at night, the gray dwarves jumped into the three-meter-wide and two-meter-deep trench after Kuz had promised two camellia gnocchi for supper, and they threw the remnants to the side of the camp like a pack of strong marmots, and the remnants of the trenches were built at the edge of the trench with a wall of earth more than two meters high. The trenches that had become deep enough and wide enough were filled with iron drills more than a meter long, these iron drills were secretly brought from the quarry by the orc overseers, and when they knew that they were going to follow us to drown, they had already prepared these tools, these sharp iron drills forged from stainless steel were not uncommon in the quarries, and in the long process of contact with the swamp zombies, the orcs of each tribe found some way to deal with the zombies, such as the orcs in the quarry, they were better at positional warfare and digging trenches, set traps, these methods are very useful against ordinary zombies.

Kuz told me that it was only in casual conversation with the leader of the orc overseers that the orcs in the quarry were really afraid and feared not by the tide of ordinary zombies, nor by the corpse kings of infinite strength. It's the scythes of death that roam everywhere in the night.

I waited quietly for most of the night, and there was no movement in the whole camp. Even if the shadows of the Scythes of Death that could lurk in the darkness of the night did not appear, the wait would be extraordinarily long.

Kuz and I climbed behind the earthen wall and looked out. On the grass outside the trench, a bonfire scroll was placed every dozen meters away, and the magic fire was blown to the light and dark under the night wind. After waiting long enough, the tense spirit began to slowly relax, Sister Guoguo and her team of Wind Chasers were so late, and they hadn't come back yet, and they didn't know what they had met outside, but I guess there were Viru and Jonbach. They are able to cope with a wide range of critical situations.

I was placing the silver-plated shotgun on the earthen wall, reaching out and rubbing my sore and stiff shoulders, when I suddenly felt that the magic power in my body fluctuated inexplicably, and it felt like the magic elements in the air were slowly becoming very viscous, and the magic elements that were free in the air were gradually pulling out of the air like silk wool, until they flowed to a certain point in the night.

With the last experience, the pain of that huge bone sickle penetrating my body made my body react quickly at this moment. My whole body stiffened from the tension, the muscles of my body tightened, and the cold sweat on my forehead broke out all at once, and Kuz was beside me. He sensed what I was already and cast a searching look at me.

I looked at him in horror, and he immediately understood that I sensed danger. My eyes looked in a certain direction in the night, and Kuz's hand grasped the alloy bow. The other hand very stealthily pulled out a feathered arrow wrapped in a frost scroll from the quiver and pointed it at it from a distance.

It was a very strange change. The black night was suddenly cut open by the miserable white bone scythe, and a white bone ghost wrapped in a black-gray tattered cloak came out of it, and the crystal clear white bone skull had two blue soul fires in its eye sockets, and at this moment it was a little lost, and the skull under its cone hat seemed to be attracted in some way, and it quickly looked at me.

I figured out why these death scythes were so elusive that I could follow them, because they had broken through the shackles of space and could perform skills like "teleportation" at short distances. It is said that the Death Scythe is the nemesis of magicians, and its body is inherently a magic pattern circle that absorbs mana. It is capable of automatically absorbing the magical elements around the body. I was also keen to spot that spot in the night, with unusual fluctuations in magic, that discovered the Death Scythe. By the time it swung its giant bone scythe in its right hand, ready to lunge at me, it was too late.

The frost arrows that Kuz had prepared came out of the string, and in his hand, three wind wolf fang arrows were transformed like magic, and after only a slight pause, the three wolf fang arrows shot out in a row. I raised my silver-plated shotgun and flicked the activator, and Copper Pea followed the three wind wolftooth arrows at the Death Scythe.

All this happened in two seconds, the death scythe didn't even understand why it was hiding in the night, just jumped out of the space-time gate, and there was a magic arrow with an ice attribute stuck in its chest, at this time it was covered with a thick layer of white frost, and in an instant, the weak sternum was pierced by three sharp bone arrows.

The three bone arrows easily penetrated through the chest, and the sharp edges of the arrows scraped against its miserable white ribs, instantly shattering the fragile ribs that were hung with frost by the wind wolf's tooth arrows. The soul fire in the eyes of the Death Scythe shone brightly, dragging the broken body and rushing towards me like crazy, the speed of the wind, I couldn't react for a while, and I didn't have time to dodge.

The copper pea exploded in Death Scythe's face, and the bursting magical flames caused the soul fire in Death Scythe's eye socket to flicker, and its rapid momentum paused for a moment, but even then, its giant bone scythe had slashed off against the top of my head, and I could even feel the cool breeze above my head.

I chanted the spell ridiculously, I had never felt that the "magic cloak" was so cumbersome and lengthy as it is now, I think I should be too late, the bone scythe has reached the top of my head, but the spell is only halfway through, even if it is in the advanced "self-healing" talent, there is no way to resurrect the decapitated person!

"Click!" the sound of bones shattering against my eardrums sounded so crisp.

The black image of the stick is a curtain of sticks, and it actually smashes directly into the skull of the death sickle. The shattered skull was in the shadow of the stick, like a blooming white lily in the air. The blue soul fire in the eye socket was smashed by an iron rod, among the flying bone fragments. It turns into a blue stamen and dissipates into the air.

The hard shell of an egg-sized gray magic core was also shattered in half under the iron rod, and a milky white magic crystal the size of a walnut flew out more than ten meters away, emitting a white streamer in the dark night, like a fluorescent stone, falling into the grass of the camp.

Kuz's hand was only pushed on me after this moment, and it was too much to stop. Pushing my little body out of the air, and in the air that fell to the left, the magic spell I twisted was said to be complete, and I disappeared into the night in a cloud of green smoke at this moment.

The "magic cloak" didn't even work.

Looking at the white broken bones scattered on the grass behind the earthen wall, the white skull had been broken into countless pieces by the iron rod of the maid Asakusa, and even the soul fire was scattered. It's hard to imagine that the burst of the stick was cast from the hands of the taciturn Asakusa.

The maid Asakusa had already put back the black iron rod in her hand, and her flushed face was still difficult to calm down for a while. She sat back down in her original position as if nothing had happened, and when she saw Kuz's dull eyes looking at her, she lowered her head and put the iron rod aside, and glanced at Kuzi with bright eyes. It's like saying, "Shouldn't you compliment me at this time?"

I emerged from the dark shadow, and was about to say some thanks to Asakusa, when I felt a fluctuation of mana farther to the left. I hurriedly stretched out my hand and pointed in that direction, regardless of what would be in the dark. Directly shouted: "Az, over there!"

The orc warriors around were all drawn to the sound and my shouting. At this time, Kuzi didn't hesitate to shoot an arrow into the darkness over there, this time because I found it earlier, after Kuzi shot the magic arrow, a giant bone scythe had just been revealed in the darkness of that place, and a miserable white skull hidden in a black cone hat had just poked its head out of the crack in time and space, and it was blown into an ice sculpture by the frost magic arrow that shot out of thin air.

The opening and closing of the space-time crack was only a matter of a moment, most of the body of the death scythe was still in the crack, and the opening of the space-time crack had already closed, leaving only a round white bone skull covered with frost and a giant bone scythe falling to the ground, just to see the soul fire of the death sickle flickering constantly, and Geril on the side carried the demon antelope horn short spear, rushed over in two steps, and directly nailed the white bone skull rolling on the ground to the grass with the short spear, and the two soul fires in the skull's eye socket were instantly extinguished.

I didn't expect the death scythe to be so fragile, not at all as terrible as rumored!

"Jia, how do you know where the Death Scythe came from?" Geril raised his hand and pulled the short spear from the ground, and a demon core rolled out of the shattered skull.

The whole camp was like an explosion at this time, and the orc warriors in ambush behind the earthen wall were in chaos, and under the reflection of the fire in the camp, several death scythes appeared and disappeared in the camp, as long as they appeared, they would harvest a fresh life. Those orc warriors who have finally built up the courage to fight, and in such a chaotic situation, the spiritual defense line has completely collapsed, and people continue to get up from behind the earthen wall and run in the camp like crazy, as if they think that this can avoid the attack of the death scythe, but they don't want to be chaotic, the more they give the death scythe a chance, they hold the white bone scythe in the chaos, chasing behind those beast girls, and using absolute speed advantage to attack and kill successively.

"Don't run around!" Kuz shouted at the orcs of the tribe, "Position yourself defensively!"

Kuz had already rushed to the most chaotic place with red eyes, and the maid Asakusa followed closely behind him with a black iron bar. Kuz's feathered arrow missed for the first time, and the death scythe burrowed into the space-time rift the moment before the arrow entered, and the wind wolf's tooth arrow also flew into the space-time rift and disappeared completely.

However, under Kuzi's shouting, the panicked orc warriors finally came to their senses, hurriedly gathered together, holding spears back to back, everyone's faces looked very frightened, and they saw Kuzi running in the crowd in a panic, and their mood was a little calmer.

Grile looked at the chaotic camp with a pale face, and she had told me that the reason why the Raitu tribe had left their homes and drowned was because there was no way to defend themselves against these undead killers. And now the scene was still playing out, and I turned my head to see the orc overseers crawling out of the hole not far away, more skillfully holding an iron hammer in each hand, dozens of people in a large circle, all facing outward, staring nervously above their heads, defending against the sneak attack of the death scythe.

At this time, the campfire scrolls in the outermost circle of the camp were extinguished one by one, and the tide of corpses pouring in from the darkness had revealed a vague outline in the dim night, and I finally realized that the most dangerous moment had finally arrived.

Not far away, there was another miserable scream, and a beast female warrior looked desperately at the short spear that had been severed in her hand, and looked down at a wound more than a foot long that had been cut on her chest, bright red blood mixed with scattered organs flowed on the grass, and a ball of soul breath was sucked into the mouth of the death sickle.

I suddenly saw a figure moving from the shadow of the dirt slope next to her, her body crawling a little closer to the death scythe that was sucking the soul of the orc warrior, the surrounding orcs cowered in horror, and the slender figure pounced like a wind wolf at the moment when the death scythe swung out the bone scythe to cut through the crack in time and space, and just as the death scythe was about to burrow into the crack, her hand grabbed the black cloak of the death scythe, pulled the death scythe out of the crack, and threw herself to the ground。

The soul fire in the empty eye socket of the death scythe suddenly burned brightly, showing that it was extremely angry, and the white bone arm had broken free from under the beast girl, and in the confusion I saw that the beast girl's resolute side face was actually the one personally selected by the old orc Gribaschen under the night wolf cliff, I remembered that she had been helping the maid Asakusa manage the orcs in the tribe recently, and she was a very brainy, and very capable and courageous beast girl.

But after all, ordinary orcs are not as powerful as first-level beasts, although the death scythe is an undead beast that is good at speed, but it is definitely stronger than ordinary orcs in terms of strength, she yelled around: "Come here and kill it!"

At this time, the first to react was Gerile, she jumped and ran like a deer, her light body had a unique rhythm, the magic antelope horn short spear in her hand had been held in her hand during the run, and Geril was also running faster and faster, just when the speed reached its peak, she jumped into the air suddenly, and it was seven or eight meters high in the air, the moment she stayed at the highest point, the short spear in her hand was raised above her head, like a white lightning bolt to mark down.

There was a crisp "click", and the sharp demon antelope horns pierced the skull of the death sickle, and most of the short spear was inserted into the ground, and the soul fire of the struggling death sickle turned into a few wisps of green silk under the short spear and dissipated. At this time, the bone scythe in the hand of the death scythe had already hung above the beast girl's head, and if it wasn't for Geril's timely rescue, I am afraid that the beast girl would have been in a different place at this time.

I was holding a silver-plated shotgun, and my mouth was like a green peach stuffed into my mouth.

In the camp in the distance, Kuz's magic arrow exploded again, the harsh sound caused by forcibly condensing frost in the air, indicating that Kuz had shot another death scythe with the frost magic arrow, and I hurriedly ran towards Kuz's side. (To be continued.) )
