Chapter Sixty-Nine: Killing the Scouts
Under the hazy night.
Sauron's figure flew out, weaving through the dense tropical jungle at high speed toward a distant location. He was no stranger to this kind of terrain, and when he completed a legendary-level mission in the overseas islands, Sauron also fought against the top trackers of the indigenous people here. These guys have very strong tracking abilities, and can track their targets through guΓ² footprints, smells, environments, etc., and even taking Sauron to fight them has improved their tracking skills a lot.
Smack!
Sauron's toes tapped lightly on a large tree, then slowly landed on the ground.
There were many chaotic footprints in front of me, and although they were much hidden by weeds, the traces left by the high-speed movement and changing positions were still very obvious. Sauron lifted his hand to look through the grass and saw a trail of something being dragged away, a bit like a heel scratch. He found a little dark red blood, but it wasn't too much, and it looked like the battle was over quickly. Sauron's mind could already imagine what it was like, the pirate scouts he had sent were suddenly attacked, and most of them were killed before they could react, and then one of them managed to escape, while the others were dragged away.
"They all look like they're masters!"
A cold light appeared in Sauron's eyes, and a cruel expression appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Kill these scouts first, it seems that they are all the elite of the indigenous tribe!" β
Jungle combat is not the same as flat combat.
The most common here are skirmishes and stealth battles, and even a fourth-order professional can die at the hands of a low-level professional who is proficient in tracking and hiding. Because there are so many ambushes and natural traps that can be used, many clever trackers can kill other professions above the fifth level here. The most dangerous abilities of these natives are to track and hide traps, and then blow arrows and hidden weapons are used.
But!
They may not be so lucky this time, because the Wanderers are also good at this!
Sauron sped along the trail of grass, his tracking skills not very good. But it won't lose the traces left today. Savvy rangers can even track trails left behind a few days ago, and even what kind of enemies they left behind, so Sauron has always taken tracking skills seriously. He sped along the grass, and he was certain that none of the elite natives had returned to the tribe, as they had no way of knowing the number of Sauron's men if they didn't get close to the camp.
- "Shadow hiding! β
After crossing a stream, Sauron's figure faded into the night.
He heard a little movement.
It's screams!
It seems that not all of the pirate scouts sent out during the day died at their hands, and one or two were brought over alive. A hint of murderous intent appeared in Sauron's eyes, and his whole body was shrouded in shadows, and he approached the mountain wall where some screams could be heard in front of him. There are many parts of the overseas archipelago that resemble the topography of the Irish coastline, and the topography here is completely different from that of the Southern Continental Shelf. What Sauron saw before his eyes was a natural cave. It seems that the enemy is quite familiar with the nearby terrain, and this cave should not have been visited for a long time.
It's a little dark inside, and the cavern isn't that deep.
Sauron heard a slight scream again, and saw a faint glow of fire inside the cave, as if there was a corner in the cave.
He didn't sneak in recklessly.
Sauron reached out and touched the ground, carefully surveying his surroundings, his dark vision making it seem as clear at night as if it were day, and soon he spotted a rather clever alarm trap. The natives are very cunning, and their living conditions are also very harsh. A guy like this who could easily destroy the pirate scouts sent out by Sauron couldn't be defenseless at night.
Sauron's trap skills aren't enough!
At first glance, he felt that he might not be able to successfully dismantle the trap, and he didn't make a sound at all. And even if he was lucky enough to tear it down, it would have taken too long. Only to see Sauron reaching out and clinging to the edge of the cave. Then he crawled in little by little along the corner, almost hanging in the air, and just happened to get stuck at a distance of about a centimeter or two to avoid the alarm trap.
If you touch someone in the trap, you will be immediately alarmed!
The screaming continued.
There were pieces of rubble inside the cavern, and Sauron had to move carefully, and he heard the lingua franca. Indigenous language was heard, but I didn't hear what was being said clearly, as it was interrupted by screams.
The other party seems to be torturing!
Sauron didn't dare to hold it up. His figure approached little by little in the darkness, and as he turned a corner, the situation in front of him appeared in front of him. He saw five natives with oil paint on their bodies, these natives had darker skin, but they were not black, but like a mixture of black and Indian, and their bones were thicker, significantly larger than the skeletal framework of the continental race. They were interrogating a pirate scout, and the pirate who was being tortured was already a little blurred in flesh and blood, unable to distinguish his appearance at all, and his breathing was very weak, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it for long.
There was a native-looking man next to him who looked different, and it was obvious that he had no oil paint on him.
A cold glint appeared in Sauron's eyes!
Because he recognized the natives as one of his escaped slaves, he was helping to translate the tortured words because he knew the lingua franca, and told them the information he had been tortured in the native language.
One, two, three, four, five.
Sauron's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he quietly touched it, approaching the enemy who had been talking to him, looking like an enemy of the native leader.
- "Backstab!" β
- "Shadow Attack!" β
An icy cold light suddenly appeared!
Sauron's figure appeared in the shadows, and the legendary scimitar ice death slashed through a cold light, instantly piercing the heart of the indigenous leader, the tip of the knife penetrated the chest from the back, and the other party's expression was full of consternation before he had time to change, so he died at the hands of Sauron.
A row of numbers jΓΉ quickly emerged:
"Shadow Hiding Success!"
"Shadow Attack Launched!"
"Backstab launched!"
"Successfully backstab the target for 116 (+10) piercing damage! β¦β¦ Pierce the target's heart! β¦β¦ Trigger the Lethality Waiver Decision! β¦β¦ Target Death Waiver Failed! β¦β¦β
"Death to the target!"
"Drain the target's soul energy and gain 3,250 points of killing experience."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
With the number of killing experiences emerging.
Sauron immediately guessed the approximate strength of the other party, which should be an enemy with a career level of 15 or above, a leader-level figure in the indigenous tribe. The other party seemed to have more than 100 HP, but because he had pierced the heart, he couldn't pass the guΓ² lethal immunity verdict, so he couldn't resist for a while before killing like some of the enemies Sauron had encountered in the past.
- "Sword Momentum: Whirling Dance!" β
Sauron didn't retreat, on the contrary, he rushed straight forward, and another scimitar appeared out of thin air with both hands, and it spun in a sharp circle, and the blade slashed at the other two enemies in front of him.
Unprepared!
This is the most common reaction under a sneak attack, and many people have been caught off guard and have greatly reduced their ability to dodge and parry.
This is the time to test your ability the most.
One of the natives almost subconsciously dodged sideways, and then a roll widened the distance, but the other natives were slightly slower by half a beat, and were directly slashed in the chest by Sauron, and even the lobes of the lungs were cut open. The former is an indigenous person with a reflex dodge specialty, while the latter obviously does not have a strong dodge specialty, and will inevitably be half a beat slower in case of an emergency.
Tremble!
In the face of the sudden appearance and killing the leader of Sauron, the natives also reacted quickly.
They began to fight back quickly.
However, instead of pulling out his weapon, he quickly pulled out a blowgun, and with a few faint bits of cold light, steel needle-like blowguns flew out, and they hit Sauron's body, but they did not play their due role.
- "Stone Skin!" β
The blowguns failed to break through the protective stone skin on Sauron's body, and these intensely anesthetic blowguns did not work at all.
Bell Block!
The blowgun fell to the ground, but Sauron leaped into the ground and slashed at the badly wounded enemy.
A row of numbers jΓΉ quickly emerged:
"Shadow Attack Launched!"
"You dealt 56 (+10) slash damage to the target! β¦β¦ You dealt 26 slash damage to the target! β¦β¦β
"Death to the target!"
"Drain the target's soul energy and gain 2150 points of killing experience."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sauron's knife is extremely fast!
Almost at the same time that the ice death held in his right hand slashed at the enemy, the scimitar held in his left hand also immediately slashed the opponent's abdomen, and Sauron, who mastered the [Advanced Dual-Weapon Combat], could almost achieve an effect similar to 'fighting left and right', and the scimitar with both hands could fight independently. As soon as he killed the natives in front of him, he almost immediately backhanded his left hand, directly blocking the attack from the side, and then lunged forward with his bow and swung his right hand at the enemy's arm.
Bell Block!
With a splash of blood, three fingers were cut off.
Thump.
Sauron's twin blades turned into cold light, and he twisted around and cut off half of his palm, and at the same time, a distorted shadow appeared around him, and then he saw two heads fall to the ground in succession.
- "Shadow Attack!" β
- "Summon the Shadow!" β
- "Sword Momentum: Decapitation!" β
Sauron's gaze was cold, and he didn't hesitate at all, and when the shadow summoned in front of him entangled his enemy, he slashed at the opponent's head with a sharp swing of his sword.
Thump!
A headless corpse fell to the ground, Sauron covered in blood, and there was only one enemy left in front of him.
