154. The choice of life and death
The wet wind blew on my cheeks like a lover's kiss, blowing my stray black hair back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info argali ran on the wasteland unusually smooth, hands on the huge and curly horns, I didn't look back at the sky like countless black crows circling the harpy, the snow-white harpy made a sharp and excited chirp, its angry appearance made the ordinary harpy banshees hiding in the clouds tremble, the habits of the harpies are naturally timid and cunning, they prefer to use the advantage of speed, to grapple with the prey, often chase the prey exhausted, and finally tired to the ground desperately looking at these hideous harpies, waiting for the arrival of death.
Over the years, the harpys have been a habit of simple-minded orcs, and the orcs will only choose to flee when the will to fight completely collapses, and once they flee, they will no longer have the courage to fight to the death, at this time the harpy pursuit will become extremely ferocious, extremely bloody, and extremely violent. They would rush up from behind the fugitive orcs, slicing their backs open with their sharp claws and barbed beaks, as if unzipped their leather armor, and they could clearly see the white bones wrapped in the bright red muscles under the skin, and even the living heart, which was the favorite delicacy of the harpies.
So when we mounted the argali, we ran desperately into the camp. At this time, the timid harpy banshees hiding above the clouds behind them swooped down excitedly and without hesitation, and in an instant, it was like countless extraterrestrial meteorites breaking through the clouds and falling from the sky. And the leader of the harpy called for a hurricane, wrapped her body in it, and rushed towards us with a roar.
At this time. The members of the Storm Chasers had already caught up and scattered to protect me and Kig, Katerina, Viru, and the others in the center. The harpies began to fall, and Jonbach had to jump off the argali. Holding a big iron shield high and chasing behind us with his legs open, as long as there is a harpy that swoops down, he will raise his shield to meet it, Qiangbach's movements are very rigid, but I have to say that his physique is comparable to that of an orc, like a perpetual motion machine, constantly resisting those harpy banshees falling from the sky.
The harpys had been cornered by the banshee leader, and they were so frightened that they tried to fly when they saw the huge iron shield that began to harvest the lives of their companions. They will tentatively spread their wings, and when they fall down, after such a large harpy banshee spreads its wings, the huge impact will force the bone joints on those wings to rattle, and some banshees are so desperate that they even want to pull their bodies up, and even their wings are almost broken.
Even so, there were still overwhelming harpies who pounced on them, and the sheer number of them made Jonbach tired to deal with. It's just that after using more than a dozen jumping shield strikes in a row, he already shows fatigue. We fled with the corpses of harpies all over the place. When they saw the steady Strongbach smashing their attacking companions into patties with shield strikes, almost all of the harpies struggled desperately in the air, preferring to spread their wings and slow down. fought so hard that his bones were broken, and he didn't want to pounce on it to die. But with the hurricane that rushed behind him like a tidal wave, the Harpy Leader rushed over. The harpies were blown like boats under the mighty waves, and they could only rely on the wind. Under the pressure of the Harpy Leader, she continued to rush over without regard for her life.
For us. Don't say such a huge charge, just now as long as those harpy banshees insist on rushing up two or three, the strong bach copper wall of the iron wall of defense will be exposed, and when the time comes, it is inevitable that those harpy banshees who will rush behind will kill us separately, even if someone can survive to fight out of the encirclement, there will be casualties.
At this time, Qiangbach reflexively held up the huge shield and refused to retreat, but stopped to face the blowing hurricane. This hurricane is the group attack magic skill "Hurricane Technique" of the Harpy Banshee Leader, although the power is average, but at this time, with the Harpy Banshee's killing, it is the biggest help to the Harpy, and these Harpy Banshee are obviously also killed by the Wind Chaser Adventure Group in these days' fighting, as long as they see someone trying to stop and fight back, they will be scared away. But this time it was different, the harpy leader was watching from behind, these harpies chased after us desperately, a harpy that caught up with the hurricane crossed the strong bach, the slender and sharp beak pecked fiercely at the warrior Yue Lun, Yue Lun had no choice but to jump off the argali, the sword-like beak was deeply rooted in the back of the argali, when pulled out, the bloody minced meat and the broken internal organs hung on the barbed beak, and were brought out of the blood hole together, and the argali's wail to the ground.
Yue Lun swung his giant sword and cut off the banshee's head, but was instantly engulfed by the harpy banshees that rushed up from behind. We didn't dare to look back, and we didn't dare to stop, the reins of my argali's sheep were in the hands of the beast girl in front, I suddenly felt a strong sense of panic in my heart, and I turned back in horror to find that there was a harpie who fell lifeless behind me, the hideous head was close to my back, and the saliva on the corner of my mouth had dripped on my shoulder.
The huge claws had already grabbed the argali, which I was sitting on, and it tried to spread its wings and fly, and its pointed beak pecked at the back of my head at the same time, and I just turned my head, and the fishy beak quickly enlarged in front of my eyes, and the hairs all over my body exploded, this time I was really careless, but there was no way to avoid the harpy's outstretched beak.
I can only tremble and wait for death, and once I have this thought, my pupils will become very large in an instant. At this point, I could even feel a sharp beak piercing my brow for Kige's exclamation. It seemed that no one had discovered that anyone had only attacked my harpy, but at this moment, a snow-white arm stretched out from the void, holding a broken blade, quickly slashed at the banshee's mouth, cutting off the banshee's beak with a knife. A half-foot-long barbed beak was pierced on my forehead, like a long, reversed horn.
I grew my mouth and saw Katarina's sexy delicate body ghostly appear behind me until she split the head of the harpy with her dagger. Her graceful body was fully revealed, and the red blood splattered from the harpy's head mixed with white filthy brains dripping onto her fiery red light armor. It was instantly evaporated by a scorching breath.
Caterina saved my life in an instant at such a close distance.
Before I could catch my breath. More than a dozen harpies poured out at the same time, and I looked back only to find that Qiangbach, Yue Lun and Tia were all deeply encircled, and Sister Guoguo had just laid an "ice edge path" behind us, and this ice magic made the harpies who were jumping on the ground behind them and chasing after them crackle and slip like dumplings.
Kig pulled out a scroll of Enhanced Frost from his bosom again and threw it out.
There was a "creak" sound of ice cracking, and the harpies who rushed to the front stood on the ice path and were frozen solid. Sister Guoguo was dumbfounded, and she was still holding a one-meter-long dark blue ice ice spear in her hand. Just as he was about to throw it, he saw that our crisis had eased slightly, changed direction, and shot the ice spear directly into the encirclement of Jonbach not far away, and saw that this ice spear exploded as soon as it touched the harpy, and the harpy was covered with blue frost on their bodies, and their movements became extremely slow.
A giant sword followed closely and slashed at the harpy banshees, and Yue Lun split a path. Rushing to the front, after Tia and Jonbach broke off, the three of them broke through and ran out scarred, and Jonbach's heavy armor had a few deep scratches. There was a circular blood hole in his chest, gurgling blood. His face was a little pale, and his heavy armor was covered with feathers. Mixed with blood, like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood.
Sister Guoguo was worried that they would be surrounded again. Quickly throwing over the three light body techniques, I clearly felt that the magic elements in Sister Guoguo's body had a huge fluctuation. The magic elements around her body suddenly dispersed, just like the coastline after the low tide revealed a white sandy beach, but Sister Guoguo revealed an empty magic pool, and the small amount of magic power she had accumulated in her body was exhausted again, causing a magic backlash that rejected all magic elements.
Sister Guoguo's eyes darkened, and she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and when she took her hand away, there was already blood hanging from the corners of her mouth, and at this time, she was still paying attention to the entire battle situation. Qiangbach, Yue Lun and Tia suddenly accelerated, flexibly dodging the deadly pursuit of the harpy behind them, the three of them had their own means of escape, the warrior Yue Lun waved the two-handed giant sword, and the circle rotated wildly, cutting off the harpy that was entwining him, and when there was a vacancy around him, he jumped up violently, and when the light body technique made his body run, he brought up a row of phantoms, and for a while the harpy who fell to the ground could not catch up.
And Tia is hiding on the side of Jonbach, carrying a dagger to dodge left and right and shuttle between several banshees, he can always make his body at an incredible angle, escape from the sharp beak of the harpy, although embarrassed, but it can be seen that there is no worry about life, I didn't think that such a small and silent "light body technique", in the battle, has such a big effect.
The three members of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group were able to escape with the help of Sister Guoguo's assistance in the past.
But more and more harpies gathered from behind and pounced on the people in our ranks, and the argali, one by one, were wounded and abandoned. The Doron Column of the escort did his best, and the wound on his arm was cut open for more than a foot, and the blood had stained the entire sleeve.
"Shooter, prepare!" a high-pitched voice came from the mound......
"Release!" Kuzna's voice was heard in the distance, and I turned my head to see a group of orc warriors rushing down from the mound, throwing their javelins in their hands as they ran. The dense javelin matrix intercepted the harpy banshees that swooped down in the air, and some of the banshees couldn't avoid the javelins anyway, and were directly thrown through by those sharp javelins that rained down, and as soon as a handful of blood sprayed out, they took away a fresh life.
The orc warriors who rushed down from the hillside frightened the harpy so much that even if the harpy leader pressed the formation in the rear, it couldn't stop the banshees from escaping. What made the banshees feel desperate the most was the frost scroll in Qige's hand, and at this time, with Sister Guoguo's "Ice Ridge Trail", it was just enough to freeze those banshees.
But everyone is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the strong bach people were able to rush out of the encirclement of the harpy, and they have squeezed out the last bit of physical strength, and Sister Guoguo is even more to save these three people. Desperately being devoured by magic, he also forcibly cast the "light body technique" ability. At this time, Viru could only lie on the body of an argali, like a dead dog, if it were not for the desperate protection of Duolunlie. I've been pecked to death hundreds of times by the harpy banshees who have caught up. I had a severed harpy beak on my forehead, and blood was pouring into my eyes. The vision was red, and there was no strength to kill the frozen harpies. At this time, Qige pulled out the magic rune sword on his waist and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the beast girl in front of him who was pulling the reins of the argali, and desperately pulled the reins and walked towards the camp.
may have been in desperate situations several times, and it was Sister Guoguo who used magic to save everyone. And Miss Qi's frost scroll seemed to be unwanted, at this critical juncture, she took out three cards one after another, and those harpy banshees had already done so. Tired of Sister Guoguo's terrifying ice magic, at this time, such a magician who can cast ice magic appeared, which made those harpy banshees frightened.
In the eyes of the Harpy Leader, it was the two of them who were the most hateful. But these two female magicians were protected in the center of the team layer by layer, and the banshee leader screamed, trying to drive the ordinary banshees to rise up and kill Sister Guoguo and Qige, but a few screams had no effect, and those harpy banshees just followed behind the team, looking for a gap to sneak attack the people who fell behind.
At this time, Kuzi had already run over with nearly a hundred orc warriors of the Laytu tribe. They pulled out the slings one after another, and the whistling sound came and went, making the harpies who had long lost the will to fight tremble in the air.
Maybe it's the Harpy Banshee leader who saves the girl, or maybe she's unwilling to fail. She watched as the harpy banshees in a mess erupted from their bodies and floated in the air. The cold eyes glared at Qige and Sister Guoguo, and opened their mouths. Two balls of light spit out from his stomach, one of which was a moving wind element. One was a burst of thunder elementals, and the two elemental balls kept spinning between her hands in front of her chest, and I could clearly feel the powerful energy contained in those two elemental balls.
I don't know what those two elemental balls are, but it's certain that they weren't any magic skills, what she held in her hands was more like pure magical elemental energy, and the Harpy Leader spread her three-meter-long snow-white wings, spread her wings on her back, and soared high into the clouds in a matter of seconds.
Without the coercion of the harpy leader, the harpy banshees scattered as beasts. Kuz ran at the front of the line, and when he saw that our crisis was over, he made a victory gesture to me from afar, and I said to myself that this guy was obviously injured, and he dared to run like this, and he was not afraid to break the wound on his shoulder that had just healed. He was the first to see Sister Guoguo of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group, with an expression of incredible joy in her eyes, she put the alloy bow in her hand on her back and ran over in stride.
It was probably the first time that these orse warriors had fought with the harpys, and they just threw a row of javelins indiscriminately, and they easily dispersed those banshees and won the victory.
At this time, the harpies behind us also spread their wings and flew away. The crisis was lifted, and our group took a breather. Yue Lun and Duo Lun Lie were even more exhausted, and they fell directly on the grass and gasped. Tia also relented, thrust her dagger back into the scabbard at her waist, and wiped the blood from her face with her cuffs.
But I noticed that Caterina next to me was still nervous, looking around uneasily, and when I asked her what she was looking at, she just shook her head and said that she didn't know, and that she always had a bad premonition, and her words made my heart sink.
Viru was lying on the back of the argali, his limbs hanging down weakly, his hands and feet had turned purple and blue, and it seemed that the poison in his body had not weakened, but was constantly eroding his body. At this time, he suddenly wanted to raise his head slightly, but he couldn't do it.
I looked up at the blue sky, and there were some harpies flying around between the clouds.
A small black dot appeared from my eyes, slowly the size of a bean, my face changed slightly, I could see that this was a harpy swooping down from the sky, when I saw it covered in snow, I found that it was the leader of the harpy, I thought it flew away, but I didn't expect it to just hide in the clouds, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack us. Its eyes were firmly fixed on Sister Guoguo and Qige, and its eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent. The two balls of magical elemental energy surrounded its body, and they were constantly spinning.
The Banshee Leader was too fast, and this dive had only been a short two or three seconds since I found out, and its targets were none other than Sister Guoguo and Qige, but at this time, it was too late for me to say anything to remind them. (To be continued.) )
