Chapter 127: Tiger's Mouth
The distance is gradually getting closer.
The night was the best cover for the wanderer, and Sauron could not see any trace in the moonlight, and even when he moved, there were only very inconspicuous footprints. Perfect stealth requires spells and spell-like abilities, in addition to advanced stealth, it also needs to be combined with advanced light body skills and advanced acceleration techniques, etc. Sauron can't meet that condition for the time being, but with his strength, he won't be discovered by the enemy. It was already pre-dawn, and the vigilant hunters had relaxed a little and narrowed their vigilance.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters.
When Sauron narrowed the distance to about eighty or ninety meters, he slowly stopped, and then his figure disappeared strangely, not hiding in the shadows, but activating the ability of shadow shuttle, directly and temporarily crossing into the shadow plane. The scene in front of me is still gray and white, even at night it is gray moonlight, and the shadow plane seems to be an unchanging dead silence, but it leaves an extremely deep impression on people in just one second.
The next moment!
The shadow of the high-level jackal distorted, and the jumping bonfire in front of it made its shadow look like a demon with teeth and claws, and then turned into a hazy figure, and at the same time as it was transformed into an entity in an instant, a scimitar also pierced its back with a cold light, and the blade of the snow-white fish scale pattern refracted light, and the moment it pierced the heart of the high-level jackal, it also alarmed the other hunters.
A row of jΓΉ appeared in front of Sauron's eyes:
"Activate Dark Vision!"
"Cast the Shadow Shuttle!"
"Unleash the Shadow Attack!"
"Shadow Shuttle Success! β¦β¦ Activate the Interdimensional Shadow Jump ability! β¦β¦ Shadow Attack Success! β¦β¦ You gain 9 Shadow Damage! β¦β¦ Launch a backstab! β¦β¦ You deal 154 puncture damage to the target! β¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A qiΔ is something that happens in an instant.
The hunters, awakened by the light of the sword, pounced, and when the high-ranking gnolls opened their eyes, a scimitar had already emerged from their chests, piercing its heart directly. But it didn't die immediately, on the contrary, a bloody light appeared in its pupils, and with a crazy roar, the muscles of its whole body swelled all at once, and its backhand was a wave of wolf claws and slashed at Sauron's throat. The metal blades of the claws slice through the side of Sauron's face. But it was only a shallow trail of blood, and he had already drawn his sword and retreated at the same time as he hit the enemy.
The scimitar was pulled out on the spot!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the figure of the high-ranking jackal stiffened for a moment, and then pounced with a roar, and actually had the posture of wanting to die with him regardless of it. Sauron didn't stop at all, even if he couldn't kill the enemy with a single blow, he quickly escaped into the shadows, and then activated the ability of [Hide Gaze].
Sauron went into stealth.
The high-ranking gnoll seemed to be crazy, and indiscriminately attacked the front of the person, and a half-blood orc rushed too close. It was directly disemboweled!
There was a commotion around the campfire, and the other hunters were helpless as they watched the blood gushing from the jackal's chest, and no one even dared to get too close to it, and the other party was clearly in a state of madness. The nearby grass and trees were cut off by sharp claws, and the blood-red pupils of the high-ranking gnoll searched for the enemy's target, and their chests were already completely covered with blood.
Rewind the clock to a second ago.
When Sauron hit the opponent with a knife, the killing prompt that did not appear in front of him made him feel a sigh in his heart, and he directly gave up the idea of mending the knife and retreated sharply!
"High tenacity? Or is it legendary toughness? β
Sauron felt a slight pain in the side of his face, knowing that he had been scratched by the claws of his enemies. After pulling a distance of about ten meters, he directly launched his hiding gaze and escaped into the shadows. As a veteran of adventure, Sauron was certain that he had stabbed the opponent in the heart, and even if he hit the heart, he didn't trigger the lethal damage decision. Then the result is only one!
The opponent has the specialty of [Advanced Tenacity] or even [Legendary Tenacity].
This is a purebred melee professional who is close to level 18, and the physical abilities it has trained are close to the edge of the supernatural.
The distance is stretched to about fifty meters.
All the hunters had woken up, watching with wary and uneasy eyes. The high-ranking gnolls were still standing on the ground, their frenzied and bloodthirsty eyes trying to find traces of Sauron, and a large amount of blood was already pouring out of its chest. Someone tried to get close to heal it. However, without the magic of a high-ranking priest, it is impossible to alleviate such a severe injury by relying on medicine alone. More and more blood gushed out, and the feet of the high-ranking gnolls were covered with blood, and its eyes became more and more crazy and weak.
Ultimately.
After being pierced through the heart by Sauron, it still stood up for five or six minutes before it dried up its blood and fell to the ground with a roar full of unwillingness!
A hint comes to mind:
"Death to the target!"
"Extract soul energy! β¦β¦β
"You gain 5,200 Kill XP! β¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sauron returned to the shadows.
He wandered around the perimeter of the hunter, staring at the high-ranking gnolls who had fallen to the ground in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise, "What a high tenacity immunity!" β
In his memory, in addition to those warriors in the legendary realm, I am afraid that there are only some creatures with very perverted vitality who can still have the ability to fight back when they are pierced through the heart. The high-level jackal who was just listed as the first target does not trigger the lethal judgment when it stabs the heart, I am afraid that it does not have many lethal judgment points in its whole body, and if it wants to kill it with one blow, unless it is piercing and destroying the brain, it can only launch a decapitation attack!
The high-level purebred melee system can be trained to develop extremely high tenacity expertise, and Sauron has seen legendary melee professionals with [Legendary Tenacity] and [Absolute Tenacity] still fight for nearly ten minutes after being pulled out of their hearts. He relied on his explosive power to kill a large number of enemies in the final moments of his life. If a high-level priest casts a ninth-level [Advanced Restoration Technique] on him during this time, then his heart that has been taken out can still be restored by divine magic.
The high-level Gnoll has a class level of close to 18, and its health is conservatively estimated to be around 300.
Sauron's slash only dealt about 150 damage to it without triggering the lethal damage check, and although it didn't kill it instantly, the bleeding damage and gut damage that followed it continued to reduce its health. Even with the strong vitality of a high-level warrior, it could not last long under such a severe bleeding visceral injury. The God of Hunt has withdrawn the magic it has given, and there are no priests above class level 15 to perform the healing spell, and even the treatment of serious injuries will only allow it to last a little longer.
Its life force is passing rapidly, eventually depleting the last of its health.
Although Sauron killed the most dangerous high-ranking gnolls among the hunters with a single sword, he didn't have much excitement in his heart, because the enemy in front of him was more powerful than he had estimated, and he had no ability to kill all of them. In one attack, these enemies were already alarmed, shortening the distance between each other, and at the same time expanding the range of vigilance, essentially cutting off his chance to sneak attack. The ability of shadow shuttle has already been activated, and without the supernatural ability of this interdimensional plane, it will be difficult for him to backstab him by sneaking.
Kill an enemy and you'll be surrounded by other hunters!
But.
Sauron didn't leave either.
He was a patient wanderer, and he was firm enough to kill the enemy in front of him, and he lurked around again, silently waiting for a new opportunity.
As long as these hunters continue to perform rituals, then he can wait for a new opportunity.
For Sauron, who had already surpassed the third order, this kind of opportunity was enough for him to take out an enemy just once!
The light of dawn gradually emerged.
The hunters did not dare to act rashly, and against a wanderer who was proficient in stealth, rash action would only expose danger.
They are waiting for the dawn to look for traces of wanderers.
The half-breed orc cursed angrily, as if it was about to cramp and skin the enemy after it roared to find him, but it was still very dark in the vicinity, and no matter how ugly or angry it was, this creature did not dare to move more than fifteen paces away from the others. As long as it goes beyond this distance, it is possible to be attacked by high-level wanderers, because there are too many shadows and darkness nearby.
There is more and more light in the sky.
Sauron stretched the distance to more than two hundred meters, as the ability to stealth was weakened as daylight approached, and it was possible that the group of hunters would disperse into small groups to find his tracks.
The Wanderer must never go head-on against more than three enemies that are not much different from their own class level.
Suddenly.
Just as Sauron was about to continue the distance, the hunters in front let out a roar of excitement and saw them pounce at the foot of the mountain. There used to be a large number of vines growing there, but now they have begun to wither in large areas, and the power contained in them has been exhausted, and these vines born by mysterious power are dying rapidly.
A loud eagle chirped.
The hunter's movements slowed down a little by half a beat, and Sauron also looked up at the sky, and he saw the figure of the druid.
There was a cry of joy from within the vines, and after three full days of support, a druid finally found them. The half-breed orcs let out a roar and pounced on the vines without hesitation, trying to kill their target before the druid could get closer.
Suck!
A sharp arrow shot at the half-blood orc in the front, and then a sturdy figure jumped directly from a height of hundreds of meters.
It was a very tall female elf with a beautiful face, and there was a crescent moon emblem on her exquisite armor, which made everyone's faces change, and Sauron also stopped, his expression hesitated slightly, and then he took a deep breath, and suddenly burst out and sprinted into the vine in a stealth state.
A shadow flew out!
He directly stunned the elven nobleman inside the vine with a single blow of his hand, and then groped for it quickly.
