Chapter XVIII: Ambush
The edge of the scorching desert, about a few dozen miles from the edge of the Sunset Mountains.
A slender velociraptor covered in scales roamed the vast sea of sand. A young girl was lazily lying behind the velociraptor and behind the velociraptor a teenager was unhurried, his steps seemed to be ordinary, but he could keep up with the speed of the velociraptor .
Naturally, this is Wright and Cecilia, relying on the scent of the velociraptor to track the two deep into the desert.
The Scorching Desert is not only scorching heat and drought, although the number of demonic beasts is far less than that of the three Jedi, but the living environment is even harsher. Most of the monsters in the desert like to hide under the sand sea, and then launch a sneak attack from underground when ignorant travelers or monsters pass by.
Even with the aura of a velociraptor emanating from it, Wright and Cecilia were attacked several times along the way. It was then that Wright remembered that it was like traveling through the Sunset Mountains, often using various potions to detoxify the miasma and drive away poisonous insects. Traveling through the scorching desert actually requires special items to drive away the demonic beasts of the desert, confuse the aura and the like. Of course, the strength of the demonic beasts in the scorching desert is far inferior to the Sunset Mountain Range, and it is difficult to say whether there are ninth-level demonic beasts or not.
With the strength of their group, two people and one beast, they are really not afraid.
But it was a monster, and the people they were looking for could not be said to be without threat.
"Whoosh~" Dozens of black arrows burst through the air.
"Be careful!" Cecilia swept her gaze, and the sword in her hand flowed, sealing every arrow just right.
At the same time, Wright did not make any defense, and the fighting spirit in his hand surged, and several throwing knives flashed with dazzling red light, and exploded in the direction where the arrows were fired. After a while, several screams rang out.
Before, the two faced the attack of the Warcraft, and they shot several times, and they also knew what the other party was good at. A means of manifestation, of course. Although Wright has a crush on Cecilia, he will not reveal his hole cards. And Cecilia, although a little confused, is not really stupid.
In Wright's opinion, Cecilia is good at swordsmanship, with a continuous scimitar and extremely strong defense. As for the longbow on her back, it was not used once. However, what puzzled Wright was that Cecilia never showed vindictiveness.
Cecilia can see that Wright is extremely strong in boxing, and the power of one punch and kick is stronger than her knife technique, but the moves are more stupid and direct, negligent in defense, and at the same time, the throwing knife in one hand is also very powerful, maybe the long distance is not as good as her longbow, but the middle distance is very good in terms of accuracy, speed and power.
And the cooperation between the two also used Cecilia's knife light to contain the defense, and then Wright attacked with a flying knife.
An ordinary seventh-level demonic beast can already be easily killed with this level of cooperation. Of course, if it is a more powerful opponent, the two still have hole cards that have not been revealed.
It wasn't desert bandits who attacked the two. There are no large oases in the scorching desert, and there are no human inhabitants. At the same time, the scorching desert is on the southern edge of the continent, close to the South China Sea, and naturally it will not be a place where caravans must pass. Robbers are crazy to live here.
In fact, the two had already guessed that someone might sneak attack, because as early as a few minutes ago, the velociraptor Xiaobai had quietly communicated with Cecilia. They were already close to the people who smelled of the same abandoned villages, not just one person, but a group of at least hundreds.
And Cecilia naturally told Wright. Although a sense of crisis flashed through Wright's mind, he decided to move closer.
In fact, he already had some speculations about this organization that disguised the village and forged the treasure map.
It is supposed to be an organization that breeds red-tailed green scorpions to collect their blood and manufacture and sell hallucinogens.
It must be known that although the two empires are very resistant to all kinds of hallucinogens with addictive effects on the surface, because once addicted, they will definitely ruin the future of warriors and magicians, but there are still a large number of erosive nobles who like these kinds of potions. The 'Angel Dust' that Wright had seen in the underground black market of the Imperial Capital was one of them.
When there is a demand, there are naturally people who take risks. Raising some magical beasts that naturally secrete hallucinogenic substances has become the first choice.
The red-tailed green scorpion is not too powerful a magical beast, and it is also relatively stupid, and it will not resist like some intelligent magical beasts. And their fecundity is not bad, and it is possible to breed them in batches if they find a suitable location. The Sunset Mountains, which are close to the desert, not only have the right climate, but also can hunt magical beasts nearby to breed red-tailed green scorpions.
Although the wild red-tailed green scorpion has a relatively low intelligence, it has a habit of avenging its kindred. They may find a way to hide their aura, but once they camouflage and withdraw, the aura left after the red-tailed green scorpion was slaughtered did not dissipate for a while. This is also the reason why Wright and Cecilia are besieged by the five-headed red-tailed green scorpion powerhouse in the abandoned village.
As for why there is a treasure map to mark this location, Wright is not very thorough.
There are several possibilities for suspicion:
One is that some people know about this location, and they are particularly disgusted by the production of hallucinogens, and deliberately disclose it. However, Wright felt that this kind of thing could be revealed to the imperial authorities. Those squadron leaders and captains in the Sunset Legion would not let go of such a feat at all, so why bother to make it look like a treasure map, and use a piece of fur of a ninth-level demonic beast. Second, this kind of place must be very hidden, how can it be so easy for outsiders to know.
The second is that it's just a coincidence, but this coincidence seems too incredible.
The third is that someone in this organization that breeds red-tailed green scorpions deliberately revealed it, and of course Wright can't understand this psychology. Of course, Wright didn't know that his guess was very close to the truth.
This unified black-robed organization is subordinate to the 'Black Mist', one of the three major assassin organizations in the mainland.
In recent years, the Assassin Organization has not been easy to mix, and among the original three major Assassin Organizations, the Death Song Family, Wild Grass, and the Black Mist, the original Black Mist has the worst background. The lowest strength. The Death Song family is mysterious, and there are many weeds, but the black fog is not particularly powerful.
In recent years, the Sacred Domain powerhouse 'Hisse' has established the assassin organization 'Sabre', although it has not become the fourth largest assassin organization for the time being due to its extremely short existence, but it is only a matter of time.
In the face of such great competitive pressure, the Assassins of the 'Black Mist' also had to do some other side business. For example, refining and selling hallucinogenic drugs is an extremely lucrative industry. As for setting up a place to raise red-tailed green scorpions, it was nothing more than a transformation of the previous training camp, which was not a difficult task for such a top-notch assassin organization.
However, due to the behavior of a fool, Scarface, who can be regarded as a high-ranking figure in the Black Mist Organization, is naturally extremely annoyed, and he even has no place to get angry. After all, that idiot was the bastard of one of the true high-ranking members of the Black Mist Organization. And although his status will not be much lower, he has left the front line and turned to do some things like instructors training junior assassins, and he has less power to speak.
To Scarface's annoyance, not long after leaving his original location, he found that they had been followed.
They are the top assassin organization in the mainland, and the people who are eyeing them seem to be two young men, a man and a woman, and a velociraptor with level 7 strength.
And the high-level of a top assassin organization in the continent, Scarface will naturally not be merciful, and at the same time, he will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, the other party, a man and a woman, two young people who don't seem to be strong, but they have a velociraptor dragon. Maybe these two young people are the kind of young geniuses who have been trained together.
Of course, even if there are three seventh-level powerhouses, Scarface doesn't care, although he himself is a seventh-level warrior, but assassination can't be measured according to the same level of strength.
In fact, he was once active in the front line of the assassin industry, and he had also killed level 8 powerhouses, more than one, until he was hit by an arrow in the knee.
On the other hand, although Wright and Cecilia are not weak, they have no real experience in tracking, so they naturally don't know that they have actually been detected by the other party.
Ambushes, rain of arrows, raids and kills.
More than twenty Assassins of the Black Mist Organisation set up an ambush and launched a sneak attack on Wright and Cecilia's path.
Scarface, on the other hand, watched from afar--- of course, hiding and ambushing as well.
"Shhh Scarface didn't just gasp. Although these assassins under his command cannot be said to be particularly powerful, they suddenly sneak attack, and with special bows and arrows, the two seventh-level warriors are absolutely sure. As for the velociraptors, they may also be able to hit hard.
But he didn't expect that the strength of these two young people was far from what he imagined at least.
The girl who looked very beautiful, her knife skills were so powerful, she easily blocked dozens of arrows, and these arrows were many ordinary arrows, but they were made of special materials, specifically for the fighting spirit. However, being blocked by weapons has little effect.
And that young man, the flying knife is also very powerful, and Scarface is also a master of throwing weapons, but he can't throw the throwing knife so quickly.
After that, the two fought in close combat, easily slaughtering the remaining ten assassins.
"It's time to retreat!" Scarface, whose heart was dripping blood, thought to himself, but didn't notice the rocks around him tremble.
