Chapter 195: Near Death
"You also have some ability, I admit that I underestimated you in front of me, but even if you can still use divine arts, you shouldn't be rampant with a legendary-level warrior like me at such a close distance!"
Acoster's right hand rested on the hilt of Frostmourn's sword, and his eyes shone brightly, and he was about to use all his strength to fight the enemy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But the priestess was not afraid at all, she didn't even make a move to urge the magic ornaments on her body, she just looked at herself with a smile.
An undetectable breeze blew from behind him, and a jet-black dagger stabbed silently at Acoste's vest.
The face of the Oriental Dancing Girl in the distance has changed greatly!
She opened her mouth to shout but it was too late, the dagger appeared so abruptly that by the time she noticed something was wrong, she had already played to warn her.
Acoste also sensed the peerless killing opportunity from behind, the other party's hidden ability was very powerful, until he attacked, the half-elf sword saint had never noticed that there was someone in ambush within a few meters of him......
Even if perception is not his main attribute, but with the improvement of some equipment, none of the six major attributes of Acoste is lower than 20, which is also the biggest capital he can carry all the legends, but even then he has not been able to find the other party, which can only show that his achievements in stealth have been superb, whether the other party relies on secret treasures, or what special expertise, or his own stealth skills have reached this point, this assassin is definitely not a general......
This is a boundary between life and death, the whole body of the half-elf sword saint is cold, his face is pale, the blood circulation in his body is rapidly accelerating, and his spiritual power is also concentrated at this moment.
At this critical moment, seeing that the dagger was about to pierce Acoste's heart, his body suddenly instinctively moved quickly, allowing his vital point to avoid it without rest, and the dagger finally inserted into Acoste's shoulder.
A small bright flower of blood splashed, Yacoste roared angrily, clenched the long sword and forcibly twisted his body to slash it, and the black flames on his body also rushed towards him as if it was alive, but the assassin also seemed to know the power of the half-elf swordmaster, and immediately retreated as soon as he hit it, and while dodging Yacoste's hateful blow, he hid his body in the darkness again.
Acoste didn't have the anti-heaven specialty of the sixth sense, so he couldn't know in advance about other people's attacks on him, but he had another great skill intuitive dodge, and it was this skill that allowed him to rely on his body's instinct to dodge and avoid this mortal blow when he couldn't even fully react to his consciousness.
"Toxic ......"
It's just that even if it didn't fall immediately, Acoste's current state couldn't be said to be good, a wisp of weird black aura covered the wound on his shoulder, and at the same time, this black qi seemed to have a tendency to spread to his whole body, but it was suppressed by the half-elf sword master who immediately used the power of his blood.
At his level, it is too simple to control his body or something, control his heartbeat speed at will, and the speed of blood flow can be easily done, and at the same time, his hands are like knives, and he directly cut off the wound on his shoulder with a small piece of flesh and threw it aside.
"Hehe, you're really beyond my expectations, and you can save your life under Erzak's sneak attack."
The priestess pursed her lips, clearly surprised that Acoste had survived.
"But it's okay, it's too boring if you are killed by us so easily, we still have a lot of opportunities to teach in the future, let's play here today!"
She smiled at the half-elf sword saint, raised her hand and waved it, and then turned her head to leave, she didn't have any murderous intentions in the whole process, if people who didn't know saw this scene, they would think that Acoste and this dark elf woman were a pair of very good friends.
"Do you think you'll be able to get away?"
Acoste said angrily, the other party really comes and goes as soon as he wants, is this attitude really as a decoration for him?
But before he could act, several tall figures jumped out of the dense grass next to them without warning, and stood between him and the dark elf woman.
These creatures are more than 2 meters tall, with a horse-like lower body, a slender body and a strong quadruple body, and the upper body is human-like, with powerful muscular arms holding giant weapons.
Centaurs, this is a creature that lives in dense jungles or vast wilderness, most of the factions are distributed in neutral camps, they are very powerful and rarely appear in front of humans, an adult centaur has at least 7 biological levels, and they are in groups, few forces dare to provoke them.
However, the centaurs that appeared in front of Acoste were a little strange, they were lifeless, their bodies smelled of corruption, and two dark blue flames erupted from the places of the two eyes, which made people shudder in the darkness like two dark fires.
"The undead?"
Acoste gasped, this is the corpse of a centaur resurrected by a necromancer, and it looks very fresh from the appearance of the corpse, it may have been unearthed for two or three days.
It's just that these corpses are not enough for the half-elf sword saint to see, and with a casual stroke of his ash messenger, a brilliant fire burst out in the depths of the darkness, and those seemingly tall and mighty corpses couldn't stop it, and as soon as they touched this fire, they turned into ash again......
But he couldn't stop the dark elf at the master mother level, those dead centaurs only bought her a moment, but this second was enough for the dark elf to activate the spatial magic equipment on her body and leave here.......
"We look forward to seeing each other next time, but you can have a few more eyes, in case you accidentally get killed by me, it won't be fun."
Acoste watched expressionlessly as the other party's figure submerged into a spatial vortex, and then the spatial vortex slowly faded in the air.
Of course, he could choose to go in with the priestess.
But at this time of year, no one with a little brain would be brave, and a mere priestess and an assassin who had shot once from beginning to end almost made him hate, and now he had to track them down to their lair, where the devil knew what else was waiting for him.
A family of dark elves is absolutely terrifying, Acoste has been to the Dark Regions in his previous life, and also spent time in Morsoblay City, he knows very well the strength of dark elves and their temperament.
Compared to their distant cousins on the surface, these dark elves are not very talented in spells, but they are stronger, agile and treacherous, all of them are born with the specialty of resistant skins, and the effect of spells on them will be reduced by at least 30%, and there is a very small chance of being directly immune to the opponent.
The weapons and armor they were equipped with were even more frenzied, and since all the cities of the Dark Elves were underground, they discovered hundreds of times more hidden veins and rich veins than the surface.
As long as you are a pure-bred Dark Elf, whether you are a commoner or a nobleman, then you will be equipped with a Mithril or Adamantite weapon, if they are not worried that giving these weapons to slaves will make them rebel, maybe those lowly kobolds and gnolls will equip a set of weapons......
Finally, it is worth mentioning how cruel and treacherous they are.
If a dark elf tells you 10 sentences, then 9 of them must not be believed, and as for the last sentence, you must be half-convinced and cautious.
In their dictionary, there is no word for friend or ally, and there is no word for lover or relative, but instead the word is not an enemy for the time being, and from this you can see how terrible the Dark Elf society is.
There are no husbands and wives in the kingdom of Drow, all the bed sports are just to give birth to offspring or just to vent desires, and there are no relatives there, all the new mistresses are stained with the blood of the previous mistress, and it is rare for the old mistress to die of natural birth, old age, sickness and the new mistress to take office.
There are good dark elves, but Trist is a minority after all, and there are a small number of dark elves who believe in Elisetsu, but this ratio is estimated to be only one in 1000 dark elves.
Even in the end, the goddess of goodness, Eliestria, was killed by her mother, Rose, and by that time the good dark elves had completely disappeared......
These creatures were simply too powerful, and Acoste had always guessed that if it weren't for the dark elves' inability to adapt to the sunlight and the curse that those enchanted weapons fade in the sun, perhaps they would have accomplished their ultimate goal of counterattacking the surface long ago.
"How are you, are you alright?"
Ling walked up with a beautiful face, whether it was the Acoste assault or the assassin's attack or the retreat of the priestess, it was all between lightning and flint, and a few words of kung fu A battle to the death had already ended, and it was too late for her to want to help.
"I'm fine, it seems that our journey to find Li Qing this time will not be very peaceful."
The half-elf sword saint smiled bitterly and shook his head, if this kind of thing is explained in the terms of the game, it is a passive, this time it was his luck that triggered the intuition to dodge this kind of anti-heaven thing in order to avoid a catastrophe, so what about the next sneak attack of the other party? Can he still have such good luck?
No one knew the answer, and Acoste silently looked at the starry sky, he was not the kind of gambler who liked to leave his fate to heaven.
####
In the early morning, the sun shone brightly on the Supreme Forest, and through the dense foliage, the stars fell on Acoste.
There were two burnt bonfires on the ground, and since the half-elf swordmaster had encountered the dark elves, he had not chosen to continue to forcibly explore the treacherous forest, but instead stayed in place, ready to wait until daylight before acting.
Ling fell asleep in his arms, and the professional could keep himself going without sleep for a few days, while the high-level professional lasted longer.
It's just that the Oriental Maiji has always been restless since she came to the Northland, and she worries about the affairs of the warrior monk every night and lacks sleep, and she finally agreed to sleep after coaxing for a long time in Acoste yesterday.
"Hey......"
Acoste stared at the other party's innocent and lovely sleeping face and sighed slightly, her embroidered eyebrows were furrowed, her face was pale, and the slender fingers that grabbed her shoulder were even more nervous and very hard, without thinking about it, she knew that even in a dream, Dongfang Wuji still couldn't rest assured of Li Qing.
The half-elf swordmaster was not jealous at all when he saw Xiao Maihime like this, because he knew this feeling very well, just like himself and Curry's brothers back then, and like himself and Lavis.
The warrior monk and the dancing girl have known each other since childhood, and the relationship between them is not much worse than that of their own brothers and sisters.
"Boom......"
With a soft click, Ling's long eyelashes trembled twice, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
"Yikes!"
When he saw Acoste looking at him for a moment and showing a gentle smile, Xiao Maiji's face suddenly turned red, and she broke free from the arms of the half-elf sword master with an exclamation.
Although they have married and become a couple, and they have become a couple, the wedding ceremony was only a few weeks ago, and whether they are married before or after marriage, the two of them will have important things to do and go their separate ways, gathering less and leaving more, Ling has not yet adapted to the scene of two people being alone.
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep yesterday."
Xiao Wuji said a little embarrassed, yesterday she was obviously going to keep vigil with Acoste, but she couldn't stand the other party's persuasion to prepare to take a break, but this time it was good to close her eyes, and it was the next morning when she opened her eyes again.
"What are you talking about? Let's go wash your face and wash up, I'll prepare breakfast. ”
The half-elf sword saint smiled and pinched Xiao Wuji's fair little nose, and regardless of the other party's embarrassed appearance because of shyness, he took out some pots and some ingredients from the space bag and began to prepare breakfast.
Thinking about the wild life of other adventurers, it was definitely a day like a wild man drinking blood, but Acoste is different, no matter when they are strong now or when they were weak before, the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team has never been simple in terms of food, and the worst and worst is also the combination of carefully marinated bacon jerky + white bread + fresh milk.
There's no way, their captain Acoste is a very talented cook, maybe it's because Lavis can't cook too much, the cooking skills of the half-elf sword master are simply self-taught, and now he is almost reaching the grandmaster in the skill panel, you must know that Acoste has never studied how to cook......
"Hmm...... It smells so good......"
It didn't take long for a pore-soothing aroma to fill this small clearing, and Xiao Maiji didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten breakfast cooked by Acoste herself, and her little belly couldn't help but scream twice when she smelled this fragrance.
"Forehead ............"
Maihime's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to look in the direction of Acoste, because she felt that the damn bastard across from her must be staring at her with a smiling gaze again.
However, a gust of wind suddenly blew past her, and Ling raised her head in a daze, and found that the half-elf sword master who was sitting opposite her had disappeared in an instant, and she didn't know where she had gone, leaving only a small pot still heating on the bonfire...... (To be continued.) )
