Chapter 148: Chasing
Under the light of the remnant sun, the blood-stained teleportation station was dazzling
I took a deep breath and told myself in my heart that I must calm down at this time.
Trying to avoid the blood on the ground, I carefully moved to the side of the corpse, and during the break from practicing with Kashya, she did not forget to instill in me some miscellaneous combat knowledge, simple identification of corpse traces is one of them, at that time I didn't think this skill was of any use, I was able to learn it with patience, and it was only out of interest in detective novels, and the idea of playing for a while.
I smiled wryly and thought, if I could, I would rather never use it for the rest of my life.
First, I came to the nearest corpse, which was lying on the ground with its back facing the sky, and from the source of the blood, the fatal wound must have been in the neck.
After carefully observing it for a while, and making sure that nothing was missing, in order to get a more complete understanding, I carefully flipped through his body, intending to turn him around, and maybe there would be some clues on the front.
Unfortunately, I was only halfway there, and although the body was turned over, his head was only pulled and not turned, and it looked as if his neck had been twisted alive, which almost startled me.
Resisting the sight that can only appear in horror movies, I stepped forward - it turned out that the wound on the neck of the corpse was very deep, almost all of it was cut off, and the wriggling trachea and flesh on the fault, as well as the neck bone, were clearly visible, leaving only a thin layer of flesh and skin connected to the body.
After coming to a conclusion, I turned the head of the corpse as well, and when I saw the pale face that appeared in my eyes, my heart couldn't help but suffocate slightly, it was this face, the Rogge archer who had a sincere face yesterday and asked me to rest for a night before leaving, at this time, his face no longer had the smile of yesterday, and what appeared in front of me was a terrified face on the ground. And what those who are about to be summoned by death have in common - the attachment to life.
One hit, from the horrified look that he still preserved, I could immediately tell that he didn't last long if he wasn't killed in an instant, and judging from the only one wound on his neck, the biggest possibility was a one-hit kill.
Even a soldier level warrior can't be so weak! What could kill him in an instant? I can't help but compare myself to the maximum damage value of a machete with 4-27 damage if I didn't use magic land, even if I was a bear man transformed. I don't have much confidence that I'll be able to kill it.
I rummaged through the bodies of the other two people, all of them were killed by one blow, and there were still expressions of surprise on their faces, and it seemed that they had no time to resist at all, judging from these signs, there were only two situations that could come to my mind.
The first is that there is more than one enemy, and the second is that the enemy is very fast, because the position where the three people fell is not together, and there is no trace of moving, from the similarity of the wounds. In addition, the fact that the scene is not messy seems to be the latter case.
What kind of enemy can make these resolute soldiers show such a surprised look, and who is there in the Rog camp who can have such a strong strength, thinking of this, a figure overlaps in my mind. Yes, the man in cloak who gave me great power this morning, and isn't he targeting the Outer Cloister Teleporter? As much as I hate to admit it, all indications are that he is the most suspicious.
"Abominable ......"
Whatever the reason. Why do you want to mutilate your comrades? Why
I gritted my teeth, and my fists creaked and creaked, unforgivable!
The blood on the ground had frozen and solidified, and judging by the time, it had been dead for at least a few hours, and there was still something unexpected. Not far from the corpse was a small bonfire, with a hint of residual warmth on it, and a few pieces of meat foam were left on the ground.
It seems that the murderer might as well be shown at all, and after killing someone, he actually rested swaggering next to him for a while and ate a lot of food, is this self-confidence, or is it a provocation?
For me, this is good news and bad news, the murderer didn't go far, he should still be able to catch up, which is really good news. But the bad news is also bad - this man is determined and cruel, and he is very powerful, and he is definitely not easy to deal with.
At the critical moment, Xiaoxue helped a lot again, and after understanding what I meant, it spared around and sniffed around with its nose that was more sensitive than a dog, and after a while, there was a new appearance.
After a while, under the leadership of Xiaoxue, we chased out of the Taimo Heights from the outer corridor, and the other four ghost wolves and poisonous vines were left behind, obviously unable to keep up with Xiaoxue's speed, although I also wanted to catch up with the murderer quickly, but I had to let Xiaoxue slow down, and in the face of unknown enemies, I had to maintain my full strength.
When Xiaoxue was tracking all the way, I was also thinking about countermeasures, if the murderer was really that person, then I would find out myself
How to do it, I have been in the dark world for more than a year, but I have not really competed with other adventures at all, that is, there is a huge gap between us in terms of experience.
Moreover, according to the other party's appearance, he is undoubtedly a strange assassin, judging from the momentum and the signs of the three corpses, I judge that his strength level is equal to Sister Sharna, or even above her, but it will not be too different, otherwise I will definitely not dare to catch up with him so rashly.
In other words, he should at least be able to use third-order skills, for the skills of assassins, I carefully recalled the introduction in Kane's book, a total of traps, martial arts and shadow training, I don't know which department he is proficient in, I hope it's martial arts, otherwise with my speed, it's difficult to even get close to him.
As for the equipment, I thought about it for a long time and finally decided on the following items.
Clothes, strong scale armor, 82 defenses.
Gloves: Deathskin gloves, of course, covered with a pair of normal gloves.
Shoes: Golden Heavy Boots, 12 Defense, +15 Accuracy, +10 Stamina, +5 Agility, +1 Lighting, +19% Freeze Resistance. As for that +30% defense, ignore it......
Belt: Gold Light Buckle, 5 Royal, +5 Victory, +18 Life, +15 Strength, Lightning Resistance +24%, Poison Resistance +22%. Attack takes damage
Weapons: There are so many options to choose from, so I didn't decide what to use, so I'll take the scepter and strengthen my defenses first, and then I'll improvise.
As for necklaces and rings, there's nothing extra for me to pick and choose.
What makes me hesitate the most is the hat, two of which are very suitable, one is a blue skull hat, +25% fire resistance, because among the assassin's skills, the second-order skill of the martial arts department, the flame fist, and the third-order skill of the trap department, fire recovery, are mainly based on fire damage. Therefore, fire resistance is particularly important.
The other option is the wolf head, although its attributes are more rubbish, but it is better than a wide field of vision, which is very effective against speed-type assassins, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to put on the skull hat first.
I'm sure the man hadn't been walking long, but apparently he wasn't slow. Until nightfall, Xiaoxue, who had been maintaining maximum speed, had not been able to see any trace, if it weren't for Xiaoxue's confident sue that I hadn't lost it, I would have wondered if I had gone in the wrong direction, after all, I had to find someone on the vast plateau. For me, it's definitely a fantasy level of difficulty.
I had to stop when the red moon rose in the air, and although it was likely that it wouldn't take long to catch up if I kept chasing it, I didn't want to fight an assassin at night, so I had enough energy. I think it's better to rest for a while, and Xiaoxue didn't lose it anyway.
Once the tent was set up, I ordered them to wake up and set up a number of traps farther out, though to no avail. Faced with my own lack of experience, I had to make up for it with more caution and vigilance, maybe the assassin went around in a big circle, and the anti-guest followed me and peeked at me.
Luckily, I slept soundly, and I guess the Assassin, no matter how good he was, would not have known that someone would be able to keep up with him, and he didn't have the foresight of Akara.
In the early hours of the next morning, before the sun was rising, I hurriedly packed my belongings and rode the light snow to continue in the unknown direction in the morning mist.
This state lasted until the afternoon, just when I thought that Xiaoxue's occasional nose failure had already lost people, an empty little devil camp made me regain my confidence, there was no shadow of a little devil on the camp, but there was still a trace of blood wafting in the air, although it could not be concluded that it was the person who was dry, but it also gave me a little motivation to continue chasing.
As it turned out, Xiaoxue's nose was absolutely not wrong, but in about half an hour, a figure the size of a black bean appeared in my field of vision, and when the size of the figure was enlarged enough to clearly see the outline, I was finally sure that I had found the right target.
Soon, he was very fast, even if Xiaoxue they had already turned on their full power, but the distance between us was still very slow, no wonder I chased for almost a day, thinking of this, I pinched a cold sweat, and raised his strength evaluation again.
However, the Assassin soon spotted his pursuers, and he stopped and followed after him without much time.
He turned around and looked at us slowly approaching with a gaze that I couldn't recognize, and at a distance of more than ten meters, I stopped, a very delicate distance, just the maximum range allowed by the airdrop.
I suppressed the nervousness in my heart, and tried my best to look at him with indifferent eyes.
The ghost wolf and poisonous vine in the back also calmed me down a lot.
He was also looking at me with interest, saying that he was interested, but in fact, his eyes still couldn't get rid of the vicious and indifferent personality that emanated from his bones, as if he had a dispensable attitude towards everything, which made people not feel the slightest sense of the discipline of an adventure, but more like facing a cold-blooded monster.
Looking at each other quietly, they all seemed to be waiting for each other's openings, and the invisible atmosphere around them made people a little breathless.
"Did you kill the people in the teleportation station?"
I tried to suppress my anger and said in a slightly shaky tone.
Hearing my words, he made a slightly thoughtful expression before answering in that distinctive tone.
"Oh, there are too many people who kill the land, how can I remember if you ask me so suddenly. But ......"
He paused slightly, as if his eyes were fixed on me.
"If you're talking about the teleportation station in the outer cloister, I killed it......"
“……”
"Why, why kill your own warriors?"
I clutched the scepter in my hand tightly and snarled loudly with my hands.
"Why? Don't say that, I'm not a person who likes to kill, it's just that those three guys are so long-winded, I just want to go back to Rogge. It was so annoying that they had to ask questions, so I had to do that to calm them down. ”
He spoke in a nonchalant tone. It continues to stimulate my nerves.
"It's just a few little minions, is it necessary to be so excited......
"Whoosh......"
The answer to him was the crossbow that I had suddenly pulled out of my inventory and had nailed it to his mouth.
I have completely understood that the person in front of me has lost his nature at all, and talking nonsense to him was a mistake from the beginning.
"I'm really in a hurry, to be honest, I'm not sure I can kill you, otherwise I would have done it when I was in the outer cloister. But you've given me a good reason......"
He gently wiped the bloodshot from the corners of his mouth, and his tone gradually filled with strong murderous intent.
The next moment, he had appeared in the clearing just a few meters away from me.
So fast! A few points faster than Kasha's devilish workout!!
My eyes froze, and the scepter and shield in my hand had been replaced by me after firing the crossbow bullet.
"Rubbing ......"
In just a few moments, he was less than three meters away from me. In an instant, his body shot straight at me like a sharp arrow off the string, and the speed was so fast that even the figure almost blurred.
In my eyes, I only felt a black shadow rushing straight over, subconsciously. I held the shield in my left hand in front of me, and the scepter in my right hand smashed towards the shadow, and I didn't choose to dodge in vain in the face of Gao Min's assassins, exchanging injuries for injuries was the safest tactic, and I had already drunk several bottles of potions before that. And there were more than a dozen bottles of rejuvenation potions on hand, which was enough to consume him.
"Bump", a huge force in the left hand came over, and the scepter in the right hand was not unexpected, just when I thought that my attack was in the air, and the opponent's attack was also blocked by the shield, his figure suddenly disappeared, and then the next moment, a cool swishing sound came from the back of the neck, which made my heart cool down instantly.
"It's too slow......"
Before the voice fell, I already felt a cold front of my heart approaching my neck,
At the moment, the light snow under me suddenly crossed over, narrowly allowing me to avoid this attack, and I felt the goosebumps on my neck, and I only felt a chill through my heart.
It turned out that the force coming from the shield in his left hand was not the attack of his weapon, but the tip of his toe with the strength of the shield, and he jumped behind me in a quick air.
Unfortunately, the druid's hand-to-hand fight with the Assassin Bowl was simply an act of seeking death.
"I knew you were going to be in big trouble."
After dodging the attack with the help of Xiaoxue, the assassin did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stared at Xiaoxue with a cold gaze, it seems that he values Xiaoxue's threat more than me, hateful, I will make you regret this thought.
"Collapse ......"
He suddenly jumped up, and the next moment, the ground he was standing on had exploded, and a flower vine broke through the ground, it was the lurking attack of the highly poisonous flower vine, but he didn't expect to be dodged by him.
"Yes, really good."
The assassin who was still in mid-air said lightly, although his mouth seemed to be light, but in fact, this blow he dodged was quite thrilling, if it weren't for the intuition that he had cultivated in death for a long time, maybe he would have been successfully attacked......
A beautiful harrier rolled over, and he landed firmly on the ground, looking at us with twinkling eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
