Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 29: The Yellow Sparrow (1)
Let's go back a while.
When the two centaur khans chose to expose their aura, Yu Bin immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and under the leadership of Alan, the four of them headed in the direction of the velociraptor lair, preparing to fish in troubled waters.
When they arrived at the cave, which had once been used as a lair by the king of velociraptors, Basil, there were only a few skeletons standing guard at the entrance, and Yu Bin would never believe that these undead would be so careless, so the only explanation was that the war with the centaurs forced them to squeeze every ounce of power.
"Good opportunity! Keldilla, how many more times can you use your magic spells? ”
"Death spreads three times, Death Calls once, Psionic Acumen once, Life Perception five times, Shadow Veil twice, and Malicious Barrier twice!"
Yu Bin turned his head to look at Keldila in some surprise: "Shadow Veil? When did you become a part-time Shadow Priest? ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Jeko, the god of death, already has a part of the Shadow Priesthood, so what's so surprising about learning a Shadow Veil across domains! Keldila hastened to explain.
"That is, the castrated version!" No wonder this guy has a Shadow Veil on his magic list, it turns out to be a castrated version, "How much effect can it have in the original version?" ”
Keldila scratched his scalp: "It's almost half, the most important breath blocking is almost completely ineffective, the rest is to isolate the line of sight and temporarily create a shadow area, you know, the god of death I believe in is mainly the priesthood of death, and there are only one or two in the shadow department, and it is not exclusive." ”
"Nonsense, shadows, shadows, murder and theft, these are the main priesthoods of the Shadow Department, and you are not a Grim Reaper!" Yu Bin pursed his lips, it would be nice if there was a profession that could use shadow spells at this time, compared to the death system, the shadow system is very helpful in stealth operations, especially suitable for the current situation.
"What then? Is that what it means to kill these guards? It's all skeletons, so there shouldn't be any trouble! ”
"It's easy to kill them, of course, but these guards are likely to be directly controlled by those necromancers, and killing them is equivalent to alerting the necromancers inside! Have you ever seen a thief ring the doorbell generously when he enters the door? Yu Bin vetoed Alan's proposal, "Keldilla, bless Elan, bless Elan, bless me with a life perception, and then I will find a way to lure away those skeleton guards, you see the right time, and when they leave the entrance, throw a Shadow Veil there, Alan, you must rush in while the Shadow Veil is in effect!" ”
"I'm going to deal with those necromancers alone? This is a complete death! ”
"I didn't let you give away the head! Go and see how many necromancers are still there, with Keldilla's psionic acumen, at least you can perceive the breath of those necromancers from a distance, if there are too many, then we'll wait, I don't believe those two centaur khans don't have the ability to press the bottom of the box! It's a tribe that has been mixing in the barren land for so many years, and if it weren't for two brushes, Orgrimmar's orcs would have cleaned them up a long time ago! ”
"No problem!"
"What about me, what about me?" Seeing that everyone else had a task, Lei Guang couldn't wait to ask out loud.
However, Yu Bin's words made him silent, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head: "Can you guarantee the success of the spell release?" ”
Losing the staff means that Lei Guang, a mage, has to rely entirely on spells to complete the spell casting action, which is not a little bit more difficult, for this problem, Lei Guang himself is also very clear, but he still doesn't want to just do it.
"I still have a dagger, I really can't do it, I can still go up and help you resist a few damage. Besides, the success rate of my spell casting has only dropped a bit, and it hasn't reached the point where I can't cast spells at all! ”
"It's at least thirty percent down, and if it's some, then I really don't know how much it means to be unable to cast spells! Please, every time you release a spell now, there is a half chance that the spell will backlash, how many times can you top it with your little HP? Two or three times? ”
"Alright, stop arguing! Thunderlight and I, and when I get those skeleton guards away, you help me take care of them. Alan, is five minutes enough? ”
"Three minutes is enough!"
"Okay, Lei Guang and I will drag those skeleton guards for three minutes, when the time is up, if you haven't come out yet, it means that there are not many enemies inside, Lei Guang and I will immediately eliminate those skeleton guards and rush in to join you!"
The plan was decided, and everyone did not hesitate to start acting according to Yu Bin's arrangement, thinking that there were millions of gold coins waiting for them inside, and they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
As Yu Bin deliberately spared a circle and lured those skeleton guards away from the entrance, Keldilla, who had been lurking on the side for a long time, waved his hand and threw a shadow curtain over, although those skeleton guards only left a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, but the shadow curtain still shrouded the entire entrance.
A figure curled up, hiding in the shadow cast by the rock, silently groped towards the entrance of the cave, but not knowing whether it was an accident or if the necromancers who were controlling behind it noticed something, a skeleton guard chose to turn and retreat back to the cave entrance.
This is not a good sign, Alan's stealth is not absolute stealth, and it is impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of these necromancers with skeleton guards guarding them.
Just as the skeleton guard was halfway through the turn, Keldila waved his hand and threw out the last shadow curtain, enveloping the skeleton guard, taking advantage of this opportunity, Alan kicked his legs and slammed into the cave entrance, rolling several times before disappearing into the dark cavern.
The skeleton guard, shrouded in the Shadow Veil, was completely unaware that someone had infiltrated this important place because of the obstruction of his vision, and when the other skeleton guard turned around under the control of the necromancer, Alan had already infiltrated without any problems.
At this time, in the deepest part of the velociraptor lair, the two necromancers used their magic to channel the transformation circle, and at the same time commanded the surrounding skeletons to throw death crystals into the transformation circle, each death crystal would immediately turn into a rich ink-colored liquid when it touched the circle, and then merge into the circle.
"What's wrong?" A necromancer asked, who noticed a brief interruption in his companion's mana transmission, "Keep your attention, the mana of the transformation circle is constantly improving, and once the mana channeling is stopped, the accumulated death power will blow up the entire cavern!" ”
"Someone discovered this place, and the guards I placed at the entrance of the cave saw a strange intruder! No, it seems that there are others, someone has thrown a shadow curtain at the entrance of the cave! ”
"Centaurs?"
"No, it looks like an orc, at least the armor on it does! Damn, these guys must have sensed an anomaly here, another Shadow Veil! ”
"Do they want to force their way in? Now that Lord Sassarian is making the final closing of the net, I'm afraid the situation is very tense, and four other people have been sent to help before, so it is estimated that there are no extra troops to strengthen the defense here. ”
"No, I thought about this possibility, didn't I deliberately leave that corpse here?" The necromancer who controlled the skeleton guard said, "Now I haven't found out that the other party wants to break in, I have controlled the skeleton guard to re-guard the entrance, although these wastes have no strength at all, but it is still good to use them as a warning, at least it can give us enough time to activate the corpse." ”
In the corner of the cavern where the transformation circle was located, a tall centaur corpse was standing, and the fact that he was stronger than Shaka Khan meant that the centaur was at least a formidable warrior during his lifetime. If Jayne Khan had been here, he would have recognized it at a glance, this was the previous Khan buried in the ancestral graveyard of the Margram tribe, and now, this former centaur hero has become a puppet in the hands of these necromancers, used to guard this important place.
The Velociraptor Lair was not deep, but it was spacious, it was the Lair of Basil the Slayer, and in order to meet the size of the King of the Velociraptors, his men used their claws and teeth to connect the cave with several surrounding caverns, greatly expanding the space.
Psionic acumen allowed Alan to better perceive the presence of soul power, and as he went deeper into the cave, the fluctuations of the soul fire from the two necromancers became clearer and clearer, and beyond that, the soul fire of the skeletons that were used as coolies was as faint as a candle in the wind.
"Two! Looks like we're in luck! Alan drew his dagger and pressed against the stone wall towards the depths of the cavern, calculating the distance between himself and the two necromancers. According to Yu Bin's plan, when Alan confirmed that there were not many guards inside, they would eliminate the skeleton guards at the entrance of the cave as quickly as possible, and then rush into the cave to kill the necromancers inside, and loot the wealth as much as possible.
However, Ailan now feels that this is likely to leave too much preparation time for the two necromancers, you must know that these necromancers are all fifth-order strength, and the level of wisdom is not low, and they are law monsters, God knows how much impact it will have on Bin's plan if they are prepared in advance. So Alan decided to take matters into his own hands and kill the two necromancers before they could react!
Don't underestimate the ability of a thief, as long as there is the right opportunity, even a hairy boy who has just joined the company can kill a legend! After Yu Bin's teaching and a lot of actual combat, Ailan has long understood that the amount of blood does not tell everything!
Now the dagger in his hand is Yu Bin's channel, originally considering the size of the velociraptor type, Yu Bin chose to use the one-handed rune sword of death breath, and the soul was lent to Alan as a magic weapon, and the magic effect attached to the weapon can make Alan better adapt to various battles.
Carefully crossed the last corner, inside was a cave as wide as an arena, a huge magic circle on the ground of the cave glowing purple, this light was full of evil, there was no doubt that it was the transformation circle that Yu Bin said. The two necromancers stood on either side of the circle, their hands stretched forward, and the black aura continued to circulate in their palms and under their feet. Around the circle, you can also see many skeletons throwing those death crystals into the circle.
Alan watched for a moment, then retracted back into the corner, then bit his dagger with his teeth and climbed up the stone wall with his hands and feet. The jagged rocks made it easy for him to climb to the top wall without much effort.
As a thief, Alan would not be stupid enough to rush in from the front, the light of the circle could easily illuminate the entrance to the cave, except for the darkness left by the top wall due to its height, there was no other flaw that could sneak in.
Thanks to Basil, the king of the velociraptors, even the height of the passage was more than six meters, more than two stories high, and the undead obviously wouldn't be in the mood to set up torches everywhere in such a place to illuminate it!
Alan entered the cave little by little along the top wall, and in order to avoid making any sound, he even slowed down his movements several times, but fortunately, the top wall was full of places that could be used to borrow strength, otherwise Alan would not have been able to touch it so smoothly.
Eventually, he stayed above a necromancer, observing what was going on below and waiting for his moment.
What timing? Of course, it was Yu Bin the moment when they came in!
According to the previous plan, if Ailan did not appear for more than three minutes, it meant that there were not many guards inside, and Yu Bin and they would storm the skeleton guards at the door and rush into the cave. Alan believed that Yu Bin would not break his promise, so when those skeleton guards were attacked, the two necromancers would definitely be aware of it, and they would focus on controlling those skeleton guards.
That's his best chance to launch a sneak attack!
This opportunity didn't make Ailan wait too long, as he planned, as time passed little by little, Yu Bin and they also launched a strong attack as planned, and Ailan saw that the two necromancers had obviously undergone some changes, as if their consciousness had left their bodies in an instant.
"It's now!" Silently cheering himself up, Alan let go suddenly, and the body that had lost its support immediately fell to the ground under the action of gravity, and at the same time as falling, the soul was already in his hand.
Under the astonished gaze of another necromancer, a figure falling from the pitch-black cavern ceiling slammed into the necromancer's body accurately, and then a ball of flame burst from the hapless companion's body, engulfing it in an instant.
The psychic in Alan's hand directly pierced the necromancer's skull with the speed of falling, and the triggered flames exploded directly from the poor guy's brain, completely destroying the soul fire at the closest distance, and a necromancer who was far more powerful than Alan died here so easily.
