Volume 1 The Wasteland Chapter 16 The Rain of Swords
These magical attacks made Mu Chen a little impatient, he had been focusing on dodging, and did not take the initiative to attack or break through. In the face of such a large number of enemies, he should know as much as possible about their offensive paths, find weak links and counterattack accurately is his main way to deal with them, which is both lethal and saves physical strength.
But as the battle lengthened, their tactics did not change, and in the face of such a situation, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "If it drags on like this, it won't save physical strength and time, and I'm going to start fighting back." ”
Just as he was about to break this deadlock by force, the frequency and lethality of magic attacks suddenly increased, and a large-scale high-level magic rushed towards him, Mu Chen thought to himself: "This is going to be real, the opportunity has finally come." ”
Ubar adjusted the plan, the main attack Kazan and Mu Chen lost their fighting spirit after the battle, he knew that he was carrying a heavy responsibility, but he did not have the confidence to face Mu Chen again, and after the injury was healed, he basically did not move in place.
In desperation, the main attack was changed to Mangu Yun, and she is a long-range talent, even if she casts a mass destruction magic, it will not cause accidental damage, so the outer encirclement is no longer restricted, and the long-range talent can use her skills with all her strength.
Mangu Yun took advantage of Mu Chen's dodge to shoot at him constantly, although it didn't hurt him yet, it made him dodge faster and faster, and his physical exertion increased.
"Pick my dodge gap attack, disrupt my rhythm, and deal with this hunter first. Mu Chen thought as he observed Manggu Yun's location.
Ubar tried to use an illusion on the sidelines, but was unsuccessful due to the distance of the spell. Timgara looked up and down with the shot spider and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Agility increases, the limit of the body. Mu Chen's body flashed green light first, and then red, and with the blessing of these two states, his movements became significantly faster, and his dodging was more relaxed.
Agility can increase attack, dodge, and movement speed, and the Extreme Body can greatly improve all abilities, but these are all skills of support talents, and there are fatal shortcomings when launched by his combat talent: first, the effect of the skill cannot be maximized, second, the duration is short, and third, the physical consumption is huge. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get out of the current situation as soon as possible, he wouldn't have made this choice.
The intensity of the magic attack increased, and the corresponding destructive power also increased, the sand and dust brought up by the explosion caused the battlefield to blur his vision, and the frequency of Mangu Yun's attacks slowed down significantly, and she had to use more time to aim, which gave Mu Chen a chance to buffer and create conditions for him to make a move.
The two states on his body allowed Mu Chen to temporarily easily deal with the magic and arrows that rushed in his face, he had been looking for Mangu Yun's weakness, and finally used his one-handed short crossbow to shoot ten strong blows at her in a row when she was wandering, although the power of the crossbow was not as strong as that of the longbow, but in such a short period of time, it was only possible to use a one-handed short crossbow in his current state.
Ten strong blows went straight to Mangu Yun, due to the interference of sand and dust, she didn't see Mu Chen's movements clearly, and when she saw the arrows flying quickly, it was too late to dodge, so she could only subconsciously use her hands to block her face and chest to protect the vital parts.
"Poof, poof...", except for one arrow that grazed her ear, the other nine arrows all hit her arms, and the arrow passed through the flesh and bones, only a few centimeters away from her face.
"Ahh
Ye Suohong, who had already retreated to the rear, saw Mangu Yun who had fallen to the ground, and immediately turned around and rode a reindeer to run towards her quickly.
"Kazan, Kazan, it's your turn, don't hesitate any longer. Seeing this, Ubar turned his head and shouted at Kazan, his voice hysterical and angry. He no longer tried on the periphery, but rushed directly towards Mu Chen.
Kazan, who didn't know when Timgara was approaching, suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed him with one hand and threw it directly on the centipede's back, and also rushed towards Mu Chen.
Kazan finally came back to his senses, clenched the square hammer with both hands, his expression was firm, and he mustered up the courage to fight Mu Chen to the death.
Mu Chen didn't stop, and directly cast a spinning shot on the spot, with a clear target, not at Ubar and them, nor at the outer Boundary Map Warriors, but at the various spells coming towards him. Before his state disappears, he has to use the short crossbow with a high rate of fire to directly counteract these magics, and from the air, the magic looks like a receding tide, getting farther and farther away from him. The wind formed by the rotation in place blew away the dust, and when he stopped, the surroundings suddenly became calm, as if nothing had happened, and the effect was achieved.
"Stop, stop, get ready to defend. Ubar shouted, he wanted to use the sand and dust and the magic in the sky to cover his body and approach Mu Chen, but now that the surroundings have been cleared, they are directly exposed to Mu Chen's attack range, and there is no cover at all, so they can only retreat.
Mu Chen put away his double crossbow and replaced his longbow, and shot an arrow at a forty-five degree upward point in the direction of Ubar, "Arrow Rain in the Sky", he watched the arrows fly overhead, and at the same time wondering if he had missed, there was a heart-rending shout behind him.
The arrows shot straight up into the sky above the head of the encirclement, and the clouds instantly turned black, lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, and countless bows and arrows fell vertically at an extremely high speed, like a pouring rain, covering the warriors of the Boundary Map below.
The mages wanted to use defensive magic, but before they could activate the circle, they were nailed to the ground by bows and arrows falling from the sky. The shields held above the heads of the warriors were filled with arrows until they shattered.
The whole process lasted for a long time, the sound of arrows hitting armor and shields, the wails of being shot, the dull sound of falling to the ground, all kinds of sounds mixed together, and it was chaotic.
When the darkness overhead disappeared, the ground was a mess, there was no life in the areas covered by the rain of arrows, corpses were stuck with arrows like hedgehogs, and weapons and equipment were scattered all over the ground. The originally complete encirclement revealed nearly a quarter of the gap, and with just one arrow flying into the clouds, it wiped out about six or seven thousand Realm Map Warriors.
"This is hell on earth, the darkness above my head is like an invisible cage, trapping my people in it, at the mercy of powerful arrows, what are we facing, why are there such powerful mercenaries in this world, and if we continue, the casualties will be even worse. Ubar froze in place with a bloodless face, the scene in front of him made him lose the courage he had just charged, and the thought of retreating occupied his whole brain, and he couldn't think of any other countermeasures.
Only Ye Suohong and Mangu Yun didn't know what was going on, one of them was concentrating on healing each other's wounds, and the other closed his eyes and howled in pain. All the rest of the people were controlled by fear, and they remained motionless in their original positions.
Time seemed to stand still, except for the occasional wind, there was not a sound, and if it weren't for Timgara suddenly riding a centipede and running back, the whole battlefield would be like a painting, and no one would have seen that the person in the original painting was alive.
Timgara ran like a centipede, and Kazan desperately grabbed the hem of his clothes to avoid being thrown off. Seeing the two of them, Ubar on the side immediately turned around and shouted to everyone behind: "Retreat, all retreat, retreat." ”
The quiet battlefield was broken by this sentence, and it instantly became bustling and chaotic, and no one cared about the formation anymore, and the face of the warriors had long been forgotten, and everyone threw away their armor, and crawled desperately, desperately running to the depths of the camp, and when they came in the morning, the majesty of the Boundary Map Department was completely lost at this moment.
Mu Chen didn't pursue, he barely used two state skills, and shot such a powerful arrow, his physical strength dropped rapidly, and his breathing was not as smooth as before, he sat flat on the ground with his hands behind his back, relieving fatigue with the most relaxed posture, and at the same time watching the retreat of the strongest tribe in the wasteland in a panic.
At the back of the entire team, Ubar was saddened to see the usual invincible tribe fleeing in embarrassment, but in the face of an opponent like Mu Chen, he rationally told himself that there was only one way to die if he continued to fight.
After running at a blister's speed for a while, he looked back to check the situation and made sure that Mu Chen was not chasing before slowing down and falling into deep thought.
Due to the haste of the whole retreat process, Ubar only gave the order to retreat, did not specify a specific location, did not make the next deployment, and the lack of communication between the various clans led to chaos in the camp, and the clan chiefs ran back to their stations with their respective clansmen.
When Ubar returned to the Central Tent, Timgara and Kazan were inside, Kazan sat in his seat with his face buried between his laps folded, while Timgara walked back and forth, shaking his head and an anxious expression on his face.
Ubar ignored the two of them, and went straight to the leader's seat, and sat down in his chair with his hands folded in front of his chest, leaning against the backrest, his posture not looking comfortable, but he was physically and mentally exhausted all the way, and he could not care about his usual solemn and majestic demeanor. None of the three spoke, and the tent remained silent.
After a long while, Ye Suohong helped Mangu Yun in, and the two were treating their injuries when they retreated, until Mang Gu Yun's arms were roughly recovered, they began to retreat, and they saw corpses all over the field on the way, only knowing that this matter must be related to Mu Chen, but they didn't know what exactly happened. After entering the tent, sit down in the aisle and continue to heal.
"I've been healing, I haven't noticed the changes on the battlefield, but I haven't felt that our encirclement has been breached, why are so many people dying in the rear?"
"One skill, one skill kills a quarter of our warriors, one skill, what should we do?" Kazan asked Ubar with a tremor in his voice, an expression of disbelief still on his face.
"One skill, impossible..."
"Negotiate peace. Ubar spat out two words, interrupting Mangu Yun who was questioning, and silence returned to the tent.
It was already evening, the sun had not completely set, Mu Chen was lying on the sand with the warmth of the afterglow, and the full strength of the battle made him too exhausted, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep after a while.
