026 The Hunt Begins!
Zediri.
The gray dwarves shouted and shot arrows at the sky.
They still didn't understand what Roger's eyes meant.
That's the horror that only the Demon Bomb Frog can realize......
Tenacity.
A very special subdivision property.
It represents the body's ability to resist its own negative state.
It is important to note that "resistance" is not the same as "immunity".
Let's take an analogy.
If a person is injured.
Then the high tenacity value can allow him to "resist" the many negative states caused by injury:
Pain, syncope, impaired mobility, and more.
But the wound was still there, and he couldn't "exempt" it.
Therefore, high tenacity does not mean high immunity.
Even so.
"Resilience" is still a very worthwhile attribute.
In combat, higher Tenacity creates a higher margin for error for adventurers.
And the full tenacity value can make people survive for more than ten seconds in extreme situations such as cardiac arrest, throat being wiped, and skull being exploded!
Don't underestimate the role of delayed death.
There are resurrection scrolls in this world.
Sometimes, the difference between resurrection and ashes is only ten seconds!
So when Roger saw that the new attribute was indeed tenacity, he didn't hesitate to tighten the reins.
He was motioning for Michath to fly back.
Wyvern's low intelligence made it difficult for Michath to understand Roger's intentions.
But in front there were the crossbow arrows of the gray dwarves, and in the back was the master's dwelling, and there was Roger pulling his neck.
So it struggled for a moment, then reversed the direction of its flight.
Roger did not return to Dragon's Tooth Village with her.
Out of sight of the gray dwarf, he jumped straight off the Wyvern's back!
The 1-ring specialty "Light as a Swallow" comes into play again.
Sluggishness and feather fall are both in effect.
With a thud, Roger landed lightly.
He rolled on the ground a few times, unloading the last of his momentum.
Then he quickly grabbed his backpack, and after a few ups and downs, the whole person disappeared into the reeds.
The hunt is on!
……
In the southern part of Yellowstone, near a relatively clear lake.
Two crooked old locust trees obscured the afterglow of the sunset.
A visibly visible mist rises from the surface of the lake, and with the breeze comes the rough voice of the grey dwarves.
They seemed to be cursing something.
Roger couldn't understand the language of the gray dwarves.
However, it can be barely deduced that these gray dwarves are sentinels set up around Yellowstone.
Their purpose was supposed to be to prevent anyone from leaving Yellowstone.
After finding the group of gray dwarves who had attacked him, Roger did not act rashly.
He walked along the perimeter of Yellowstone Island for a while, and sure enough, less than five kilometers away, he spotted another gray dwarf sentry.
"These are the spearheads of the Grey Dwarves of the Zedland?"
"They fenced off Yellowstone, and it looks like they're really trying to do it."
"I don't know how many of their main force there are."
Roger didn't have the slightest carelessness.
He knew very well that the Grey Dwarf and the Demon Exploding Frog were not the prey of the same level.
These gray dwarves are of a similar rank to themselves, and they have a team, amazing defenses, and excellent weapons.
Except that it doesn't have many brains, it's almost an elite army.
And judging from the setting of the sentry, the leader of the gray dwarves has a certain amount of wisdom.
"Rachel mentions that the outcast leader named Humphran united with the Grey Dwarves......"
"Hopefully they can withstand the pressure."
Roger sneaked back to his original position.
Whether the Dragon's Tooth Village can withstand the onslaught of the Grey Dwarves and the Outcasts is important to him.
In order to be able to hunt enough gray dwarves safely.
He is ready to be a long-term guerrilla.
And this requires them to be able to attract enough firepower on the front.
Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.
……
Dragon's Tooth Village.
The restless Wyvern formed a team and circled low around the Great Banyan Tree.
Everywhere the fire shines, there are busy shadows of the villagers.
Fortify the walls, carry supplies, and prepare for battle......
It happened suddenly, and they had too much to do.
Outside the medical house.
Rachel, bloodless, struggled to soothe the frightened Mishath.
After a while.
Misha quieted down and led the rest of the Wyvern to find an open space to rest.
"How? What happened? ”
Cindy's expression was serious.
It hasn't happened before-
Wyvern returned, but the rider was nowhere to be seen.
"I don't know. Michath now refuses to communicate. ”
Rachel unconsciously bit her lip:
"I checked the arrow marks on my wings. He may have fallen from an arrow. ”
"Is the number of gray dwarves already so dense, I have already told her to go in a different direction......"
Cindy shook her head:
"Humphland was more prepared than we thought."
"It's a tough fight. We need you badly, but for now, you have to rest. ”
Rachel insisted with a straight face:
"I'll have to find him, what if he's not dead......"
Cindy hurriedly grabbed her.
"Lord Roger will be fine."
Someone next to him suddenly interjected.
Rachel looked away.
Eric came out of the darkness with a pile of stones in his arms and said seriously:
"I'll tell you a secret: no matter how strong a monster is, Lord Roger only needs one move at most to kill it in an instant."
"The gray dwarves are powerful to us."
"But for Lord Roger, it must be easy to clean up!"
Rachel was silent for a moment before reluctantly agreeing to go back to rest.
……
"These gray dwarves are a bit tricky!"
In the grass by the lake.
Roger, who had been hiding for a long time, couldn't help but scratch his hair.
The tricky point is mainly the "rough stone skin".
This trait ensures that the Grey Dwarves have a strong defense, and non-vital attacks have no chance of being effective.
As for the vital points.
Roger had been observing for so long, and had noticed that the gray dwarf's cover door was only the back of the neck and eye sockets.
The crotch is suspected to be too.
But the Grey Dwarves didn't give Roger such a deep observant......
"It's time to do it."
Roger took a deep breath and gently tugged at the rope beside his hand.
On the quiet surface of the lake, there was a sudden popping sound.
The gray dwarves in the locust trees probed their brains one after another.
But the fog was so big that they couldn't see the specific situation at all.
Whoosh!
A few crossbow arrows were fired, but there was no other movement.
When it is.
Three irascible gray dwarves jumped from the tree.
They tossed in the water for a while, and then went ashore with their crossbow arrows to make their rounds.
And the locust tree is close to the other side of the shore.
A dexterous shadow crept up silently under the cover of the night.
There were only two gray dwarves left behind in the locust tree.
Roger is lithe like a feline.
With the blessing of Yunyanbu, it didn't take long for him to climb above a gray dwarf.
"Wow".
The Frog Sword pierced through the back of the gray dwarf's neck, giving it a chill.
……
"You killed 1 Zedi Grey Dwarf"
"You have gained 12 XP"
"Your 'Tenacity' has been slightly boosted."
……
"Killing a monster for the first time with an assassination method has earned a new milestone - Assassin's Creed"
"Your milestone points have accumulated 11 points and you find that you can redeem milestone rewards, do you want to redeem them?"
……
