Chapter Seventy-Nine: Departure
Hastily!
Because of the high-speed approach, the gnoll leader didn't have time to dodge at this point, and was smashed squarely in the face by the tar flask, not only did the speed drop instantly, but even the vision was blurred!
Chu Ge seized this opportunity and wanted to rush over from the left side of the gnoll leader with a bow, but unfortunately the process was not smooth!
Although its vision has been affected, as a late-second-order gnolle, it already has a very good ability to perceive, at least for the things around it, it can still perceive vaguely under the premise of losing its vision!
Sensing the prey passing by him, the gnoll leader raised his claws without hesitation and tore them at the bottom left! Moreover, this attack actually predicted the direction of Chu Ge's escape, and just when Chu Ge dodged sideways, the claws actually changed direction at the same time and hit Chu Ge's back impartially!
Squeak –
The claws sliced through the cloak, the screeching sound of the chain mail erupted, and even sparks were born in an instant, all of which showed that the power of the gnolls' attacks should not be underestimated!
After all, it was an all-out blow in the late second-order period, and even though Chu Ge's strength had improved significantly without any unloading block, his back was still inevitably severely impacted, and even the speed of escape was sluggish!
Although his skin was not cut under the protection of the chain mail, his internal organs were shocked, and he forcibly swallowed the blood that poured up his throat, steadied his pace and continued to sprint forward!
If he had just been brought to the ice prison with the attributes of the meeting, it is estimated that he would be directly killed by this claw, but now he can forcibly break through against the opponent's attack!
However, the leader of the gnoll is only the first problem! Within a distance of seven or eight meters leading to the staircase of the lookout, there were at least two second-order gnolls and two big goblins blocking Chu Ge's front!
And more alien races are pouring towards this side like a flood, the total number of alien races is at least three thousand, and the number of second-order is more than half, this scale can be regarded as a big scene even on a regular battlefield!
At this moment, in the hinterland of the mountain range thousands of meters deep, a war is being staged only to deal with him!
The four-headed alien race had to be rushed through in the shortest amount of time, and if they were held back for even a second, it would cause a steady stream of enemies to rush towards him!
In front of his own life, any reservation is the most stupid act, looking at the jackal who outflanked him from left to right, Chu Ge's eyes suddenly flashed a dark shadow, and activated the aura ability of Nervenmore's heart!
[Consumes a Soul Strength Level 4 Imprisoned Soul, Aura Ability: Doomsday Descends (Lv4) is on!] 】
The rich ghostly light suddenly boiled under Chu Ge's feet, like loyal people, following the will of the master and spreading in all directions, covering the body of every rebel!
In the eyes of the two gnolls, the already slightly dim light of the square instantly became even darker. A creepy chill also rose suddenly in their hearts, and they couldn't explain it, they just felt extremely disgusting! The movements of the goblin priest's hand also showed a noticeable stiffness, and the condensation time of the spell was delayed.
Under the influence of this strange situation, the speed of the two gnolls began to decrease significantly, and even the idea of turning around and fleeing was born in their minds!
However, before this idea could be accepted by them, Chu Ge had already rushed up, he crossed his arms in front of his face, intending to force him directly from the center!
Although the chill in their hearts did not stop, the two gnolls still instinctively launched an attack on Chu Ge, but no matter how you looked at it, it felt that their claws were not strong, as if they were afraid of something!
Boom!
With the help of the doomsday of Lv4, Chu Ge broke through the attack of the two gnolls almost without much time, and although he received two more attacks from the other party, his health had not yet touched the danger line.
Even if the momentum and effect are not as good as the one in the Scarlet Glade, the effect is still quite good!
"It's like this, rushing over in one go!"
The two big brothers also launched an offensive towards Chu Ge, but their desire to fight was obviously not strong, and there was absolutely no determination to fight in their eyes, they just raised their fists and smashed towards Chu Ge!
When facing ordinary gnolls and big brothers, Chu Ge will not be much inferior in terms of strength, as long as the opponent does not shoot with all his strength, he will not be knocked away or repulsed, if he dodges skillfully, even his speed will not be affected too much!
But at this moment, the Goblin Priest finally ended the condensation of mana, and while Chu Ge was dodging the attack of the Great Blin, a lightning arrow that pierced through the darkness shot towards him, and his perception was also frantically warning him!
This is a late-second-order thunder spell! Whether it is speed or momentum, it has thrown out a large section of the jackal spellcaster, and Chu Ge is now next to Big Blin, so he can't dodge at all!
Without waiting for the lightning arrow to fall on him, Chu Ge stuffed the recovery herb he held in the palm of his hand into his mouth, and at the same time tried his best to change the direction of his movement, not only did he not continue to dodge Big Blin's fist, but even took the initiative to stick it on the other party!
Rumble!
The lightning arrow hit Chu Ge and the big blins at the same time, and after the lightning fell, there was a violent explosion, and the shining fire made the other big blins next to him temporarily lose their sight.
"Hint: The host is attacked by a powerful spell [Lightning Arrow], and 31 points of HP will be deducted!"
"Hint: The host is affected by the additional effect attached to the powerful spell [Lightning Arrow], and the Continuous Paralysis effect is exempt from the judgment......"
"Hint: If the judgment is successful, the host will be exempted from this paralysis effect!"
With a 4.2 constitution attribute and the defense bonus brought by Nevenmore's heart, Chu Ge was still deducted 31 health points, and the shockwave of the explosion also made him fall to the ground!
Although there is no increase brought by the staff and any other equipment, this spell is enough to make a creature in the early stage of the second order instantly lose its combat effectiveness, even that big brother Blin was seriously injured, fortunately, this spell is mainly based on damage, and the paralyzing state is only an additional effect, otherwise Chu Ge will really be finished.
His skin had turned a scorched yellow now, but it was supposed that the mixture of hormones had taken effect, and his limbs didn't feel much pain, only a little pinprick, and he rushed towards the lookout with his hands and feet before the gnolls behind him caught up!
Because the goblins and gnolls are not outstanding in terms of speed, they can't catch up with Chu Ge who has equipment and hormone effect bonuses, at most they are just flat, and the only gnoll leader who can suppress Chu Ge in speed is entangled in sticky tar, and can only watch Chu Ge rush to the lookout!
At this time, the goblin priest threw out two arc lightning bolts from his hand and slashed at Chu Ge, but because of the short condensation time, the strength of these two spells was very average, and only one successfully hit the moving Chu Ge, taking away more than ten of his health points.
However, the danger didn't just come from the aliens on the ground, just as Chu Ge rushed to the top of the lookout, the harpy leader had already flapped his wings and flew over, his sharp claws rushing towards his head!
This time, Chu Ge didn't dare to take it hard, although the strength of the Harpy Banshee Leader was only in the middle of the second order, he didn't feel that his skull would be stronger than that claw, so he had to take out the dagger and fight with the opponent's claws!
[Nightmare Marker]!
"Hint: [Nightmare Marker] Success Effect Takes Effect! The target unit is affected by the [Weaken Evil Thoughts] ailment, and the three attributes of Defense, Hit Value, and Movement Speed are reduced by 12%. ”
"Hint: The target unit is affected by the [Chaos Verdict] ailment, and its strength attribute is reduced by 0.4, and the effect will be activated again after three minutes."
The strength of the Harpy Leader was much lower than Chu Ge had imagined, and he actually repelled the other party in this counterattack, but some of the goblins and gnolls below had already chased up the inclined ladder, so he didn't dare to delay more, and took advantage of the gap when the banshee was repulsed and turned around and rushed towards the passage!
This passage is much lower and narrower than the previous ones, even if the harpy clan catches up, at most one can attack Chu Ge at the same time, and the advantage of flying is compressed to the extreme, even if Chu Ge fights and retreats, he can no longer pose a threat to his life!
As the exit got closer and closer, the ice ballast on the walls of the passage continued to decrease, and the effect of the ice aura began to fade little by little.
In the process of escaping for his life, Chu Ge was suddenly surprised to find that the number of aliens in the rear was gradually decreasing, and when he fled to the space where the goblins were originally imprisoned, there was only one harpy leader left in pursuit!
After estimating his remaining health a little, Chu Ge did not stop immediately, but rushed towards the dark passage leading to the old mansion, but he still observed the movements of the banshee leader as he ran.
There was no light in that final passage, and although it was incredibly long, it could only fit four people in parallel, and the Harpy could barely get in even if she closed her wings!
After entering the dark passage, Chu Ge did not continue to escape, but waited quietly not far from the entrance of the passage with a dagger.
Happily, the banshee leader only hesitated at the entrance of the passage for two seconds, then folded its wings and squeezed in in a standing position, persevering in pursuit of its target!
In this kind of narrow place, this alien race can't even exert ten percent of its strength, and it has completely become meat on the chopping block, and it is really not too simple for Chu Ge to kill it!
【SP+23】!
"Whew...... It's finally over. ”
After sighing, Chu Ge sat on the ground with his legs weak, and the dagger also slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter. Its wear and tear had reached its limit, and the collision with the banshee's claws as it fled had caused it to open small gaps.
Although the last battle ended very easily, Chu Ge's face was full of exhaustion, since he entered the ice prison, his nerves had been highly concentrated, the crisis just now had pushed his nervousness to the limit, and after relaxing, the mental and physical fatigue suddenly surged up.
"Alas...... It seems that Lei Zhen and they don't have to wait too long, and tomorrow's auction will be able to catch up on time, but why is my heart still aching. ”
He glanced at the SP value he had left, and this time he had obtained about 180 points from the aliens, which should only be one percent compared to the total amount of SP that the remaining aliens could provide.
Approaching 20,000 SP points, he hadn't gotten so much in his previous life in three years combined, so even with his temperament, he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, although he understood that the assumption of killing all these aliens was just a daydream, but he still lamented this ending.
"What is wrong with the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step? I almost confessed there......"
After a few minutes of meaningless reflection, he came back to his senses and patted his cheek with a wry smile,
"Let's go now and get back to Midgarh before dawn......
******
When I came out of the old house, it was almost late at night.
To Chu Ge's surprise, the old coachman did not agree to set off at this time, no matter what he said, the other party insisted on not leaving until morning.
"It's an Alpine here, and if you go by at night, you're making fun of your head."
In desperation, Chu Ge had no choice but to find a safe place to lean in, leaving Orlanka and returning to Noah's Hall.
Because of his shyness, he didn't wander around, and sent a message directly to Magma, asking for news of the black-striped cranberry.
It happened that the other party should also be in Noah's hall, and it didn't take two minutes to reply to him.
[This thing does exist in the Savor Wasteland, but it can only be purchased from some special traveling merchants, these traveling merchants are very difficult to find, it just so happens that I have one with me, we will leave the wasteland tomorrow, if you want to buy it, decide as soon as possible.] 】
[In view of your help last time, I will help you run for free, without making any difference in your price, if you don't buy it with generic gold coins, 150 grams of black-veined cranberries will cost 600 gold coins, and you will be charged 200 if converted into universal gold coins. 】
Seeing Magma's reply, Chu Ge pressed his temples very nerve-wrenchingly, although he didn't know if the price proposed by the other party was true, but as a brewing material for dark gin, the rarity of black-veined cranberries would definitely not be lower than silver, and even more likely to be at the same dark gold level, and the price of 200 general-purpose gold coins was already quite cheap......
Money is not the problem, the problem is that there is no money.
If you wait until your pockets are full, you can go to Savor in person, and then slowly look for the traveling merchant, the time will be unknown.
[Can you advance some money to help me buy it first?] I'll trade with you when I have the money, and of course I'll pay you a reasonable amount of interest then. 】
With a tentative mentality, Chu Ge cheekily sent this message over.
