Chapter 24: The Jungle 2
A murmur was heard from the chaotic crowd, and a bright fireball slammed through the darkness towards the windswept girl in the trees. "You still have a mage!" The girl cried out in surprise, and a jump disappeared into the jungle. The fireball slammed into the trunk of the tree she had occupied, and the bursting fire elemental caused the trees to burst into flames, illuminating the ground around them.
"Protect the mage!" Su Bai shouted, rushed to the mage and raised his shield. This wandering mage had only joined his team a few days earlier, and Su Bai was completely unfamiliar with him, so it was unintentional for him to participate in this mission. But now it seems that maybe he can still make a difference.
Su Bai took a long breath and exerted all his strength, and his muscles were raised. A faint golden light flashed from the shield. "Aegis Defense!"
Deadly arrows with rage have arrived one after another, and the Breezy Girl has once again demonstrated her superb archery skills, firing multiple arrows in a triple row, aiming at the only mage in the group.
The three arrows were stopped by the shield at the same time, but there was only a loud bang. The shield was as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, and with a flash of golden light, it was torn apart in an instant. The fine iron shield attached to the holy shield defense was shattered by three slender arrows.
Among the debris flying in the sky, a black arrow appeared in front of Su Bai out of thin air like a poisonous snake's fang, piercing his face. The first three beads are just a stepping stone, and then this one is the real killer move. The girl in the wind costume no longer teased everyone like before, and she also saw that Su Bai was the leader of this group of people, and wanted to get rid of him in one blow.
Su Bai's left shield had been lost, and he had to reach out to block it in an instant. For the past few years, he has been training like crazy, slashing monsters. At level 20, he wears +3 bronze armor and bronze gloves on his hands, and is not afraid of the arrows of ordinary archers. But the black arrow effortlessly pierced through the gauntlet and palm, and after penetrating straight into his face, the blood flowed unabated.
Su Bai pulled the arrow down with force in a wild roar, and the barb of the arrow brought a large piece of flesh and blood. As if he didn't know the pain, Ka Cha threw the arrow in half and threw it to the ground. Turning back to the bloody face, he shouted to the mage hiding behind him, "Come there again!" He pointed to somewhere in the forest.
The mage who had escaped death did not dare to slack off and recite the incantation, and the fire element at the tip of the wand in his hand was rapidly gathering and condensing into a ball, and then blasted towards a certain place in the forest. Even though it was only a rudimentary fireball, the girl in the wind suit didn't dare to catch it, so she had to jump from her hiding place. The fireball burst and burned in her hidden position, and her figure was only visible in the firelight.
But it was enough for Su Bai, he had already locked on the figure of the girl in the wind suit. Chanting the name of Pastan, the god of war, he clenched the Latin sword in his hand and began to charge. From the moment he stepped on it, in the next second, he had turned into a phantom and brought countless fallen leaves to rush out dozens of meters like arrows, which was his most proud trick - tooth stabbing.
It's a trick that can instantly rush in front of the opponent to deliver a fatal blow, and it's the only chance to turn the tables when low-level melee is facing a ranged attack. The blade of the Latin sword burst through the air, sending out a shock wave that cut off all the branches that blocked in its path, and pointed straight at the chest of the girl in the windsuit. In the face of such an agile high-level archer, Su Bai did not seek to kill with one blow, as long as he could get close to her, it would be considered a success.
The girl sneered, and stomped her right foot hard in the fallen leaves, causing the fallen leaves to fall in the air. Her figure disappeared in an instant into the fluttering leaves. Su Bai rushed into the fallen leaves with a huge momentum, and the full power of the tooth spike was released, splitting a large tree that needed to be hugged by two people in two. But there was no sign of the girl in the fallen leaves, and he knew that it was not good to flash to the side with all his strength to rush out of this dangerous situation.
But these fallen leaves were like maggots on the tarsal bones, enveloping him and causing him to lose his sight completely. The suit on this girl's body is a third-order wind power suit, and its hidden attributes can greatly use the power of wind. It allows the user's movements to be lighter and more agile, and at the same time can control the direction of the airflow, which can play an unexpected role in critical times.
Although Su Bai wanted to struggle to get out of this unfavorable situation. But the huge difference in rank and equipment is a disadvantage that he can't overcome now.
The ghostly figure of the girl flickered, and one after another black arrows shot into his body from various tricky angles, knocking him to the ground, but every time Su Bai struggled to get up, wielding his long sword in the darkness and never giving up.
Several fighters who had been aroused by Su Bai raised their weapons and rushed up from the defensive circle, trying to rescue their captain. More fallen leaves and gray fog enveloped them, and they could only stumble in the confusion to become targets for arrows. The shooters, who had been hiding in the branches of the trees in mid-air, shot down the people below one by one.
"From a fighter's point of view, you're not bad. But! You're just a slow melee fighter, and that's your Achilles' heel. This weakness is an unbridgeable gap between you and us! The girl didn't hurry to stop the bow and arrow in her hand, and laughed at Su Bai, who was covered in blood.
Hiding behind carts and novice witchers, the sweaty wandering mage looked at the scene in front of him, desperately searching his stomach and thinking about the few spells he had. Finally he remembered something, stammered a few words, and waved the rudimentary wand in his hand. "Vacuum Wave" "Palm Thunder"
The jungle suddenly brightened as day, and dazzling lightning pierced through the fallen leaves to dispel the fog blown by the air current, shattering the girl's wind power. One of the vacuum waves that was blindly shot out also hit the girl's body for the first time.
The girl in the wind dress has always been cared for by everyone in the family since she was a child, like the stars holding the moon. Not to mention the injury, not even the oily skin has been scratched. Even after the cataclysm, I was lucky enough to become a demon hunter, and I was accompanied by a special person to assist me all the way to leveling. This time, she accidentally hit a vacuum wave, although it was not a big deal to have the protection of the third-order wind suit, but she still couldn't bear the pain, and jumped into the dense forest behind her with a backward flip.
Taking advantage of the short-term advantage, the living demon hunters dragged Su Bai and the wounded into the defensive circle behind the cart. "You're doing a great job, what's your name? Mage. Su Bai refused to be bandaged by the others, and directly used his sword to cut off the arrow feathers exposed outside his body.
"Miller, stupid Miller, the teacher used to call me that." The mage looked at his injuries and stammered. "No, you're fine. Not stupid at all. Then you follow me, I can't guarantee that we will make it back alive. But as long as I live, you won't die. ”
He knew that he had deeply angered the girl in the wind dress just now, and although she was not very old, she looked like a delicate girl. But the more this happens, the more troublesome it will be. Because in this way, the young girl is wearing a third-order suit, and the power behind her will be even more terrifying. It looks like we're going to face their real attack.
There was some indistinct murmur in the jungle. The voice is loud and small, fluctuating, as if a ghost fire is floating, which makes people involuntarily goosebumps.
A bright spot suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the bright spot fell into the crowd, turning into a blazing fireball faster and faster. The fireball fell from the sky with unparalleled momentum and billowing black smoke, clearly a meteor, the size of a water tank when it approached the crowd.
The frightened witchers fled in all directions, desperately trying to get as far away as possible from the deadly Grim Reaper. "Meteorite!" The mage, known as Miller, shouted in despair. A mage who can unleash a complete meteorite technique is not something a rookie like him can compete with.
Meteorites fell from the sky and smashed into the middle of the crowd, and the huge explosion set off a huge amount of earth and flames. The shaking of the ground makes people unsteady on their feet. The ground not far from the center of the explosion rose and fell like a wave, and several low-level witchers who had no time to escape were lifted off by the shockwave of the explosion, and the meteorite fragments that burst out in all directions took their lives in an instant with fiery energy.
A nervous player with a mallet in his hand suddenly felt a sharp object on his foot and pulled down. He looked down and suddenly shouted in horror.
It was a human hand, a dry hand bone to be exact. It reached out from under the grass and grabbed his leg hard.
The ground that was torn apart by the meteorite shock wave began to swell and crack like a wave. Countless Morisen's hand bones protrude from the ground and grow like plants. They wave their arms, trying to grab everything on the ground.
Then their heads and chests are peeking out of the soil. The skeletons that had been dead for a long time burrowed out of the ground with all their might, and some of them, barely half of their bodies, began to search around for weapons that could be used. Or use the black hole hole hole to let out a hoarse cry at the living.
"Skeleton Soldiers!" The team members who were lucky not to die shouted one after another. Su Bai guessed that the female archer must have a companion hiding in the forest, but what he didn't expect was that it was a high-level mage who could release meteorite magic. These skeleton soldiers who crawled out of the ground were the highest-level level 19 monsters on the Brave Continent.
Their original territory was a distant realm of ruins, but their presence here proves that this is a well-prepared trap. Not counting the archers and mages, these skeletons alone are opponents that they have no way to deal with.
Even if he wasn't injured, he could only deal with a maximum of three skeletons carefully, and if he had more, he would have to back down and escape. As for his teammates, they can only die in vain. Now Su Bai just hopes that the Brave City has not discovered the changes here, and he will never send people to send him to death again.
The air in the woods had turned foul, and the sound of skeletons was ringing everywhere. The surviving and still movable people, under the leadership of Su Bai, worked hard against the skeleton soldiers who crawled out of the defensive circle.
Despite the fact that these young witchers are of low rank and do not have high attacks. But they rushed forward without fear, slashing at the skeletons with all kinds of weapons in hand.
More and more skeletons poured out of the woodland, and two or three of them gathered together to charge towards the defensive circle. Despite all the resistance of the people, the wounds on their bodies also grew. It was a huge mistake for them not to bring their intellectual sister out this time.
Even more lethal were the female archer's black-feathered arrows, each of which took a life, and fewer and fewer people were able to stand. The mage was also exhausted and had a dry mouth. Although each of his spells can injure a skeleton, as a low-level mage, his mental power cannot support him in a long battle.
Su Bai guarded the mage's side, using his long sword and even his body to block the feathered arrows that shot at the mage. He gritted his teeth and resisted bouts of dizziness, knowing that he had lost too much blood, but he still had to persevere, even if it was hopeless.
