Chapter 4: Ambush
Facing the imp he had summoned, Alan was in a trance for a while.
In his previous life, as a high-end mage, he was used to spell releases, and he had no experience of summoning creatures from other spatial planes except for using a few summoning scrolls. The flame imp was black and red, and in his deep sunken eye sockets, a pair of red pupils looked very sharp.
Alan could sense that there was a certain degree of concern between himself and the flame imp in terms of mental power, and he thought to the flame imp: "Cast a flame arrow." ”
As soon as the words fell, Alan saw the flame imp cast a confirmed glance at him, and nodded his head to the side, 0. Five seconds later, there was a freeze in the air, and a sword enveloped in flames erupted from beneath the Flame Imp's staff.
The flaming arrow struck a conifer tree in the distance, and the tree shook and snow fell from the tree.
"What a powerful force."
After players enter the game, they are basically civilian templates, and they have advanced to adventure professions to become a mage, warlock, swordsman, warrior, beast tamer, shaman, etc., which has become the initial pursuit of players and aborigines.
But in fact, on the Holy Spirit Continent, it is not easy to advance to become an adventurer, when Alan first entered the game, he was penniless, in order to become a spellcaster, Allen spent more than a month before and after to obtain the mage profession, and this level, among players in the same period, is still high-end.
On the Holy Continent, professional adventurers have real power, and it is not surprising that the imps summoned by warlocks can shake the big tree with one blow, otherwise, truly powerful warlocks will not be respected and feared by countless people like mages. A spellcaster, on any piece of territory, will be treated well.
Based on his previous judging experience, Alan can be sure that the flame imp he summoned, in the face of adventurers of similar level, can cause at least about 3-7 damage to the opponent with each attack, which is equivalent to the damage of his own blood shadow arrow.
Of course, in this world, every creature is real flesh and blood, and Alan believes that the "vital attack" in the game still applies, which will also be a huge advantage for Allen.
At this time, it has been a while since the system released the "dodge and kill" mission, and Alan thought carefully, if the other party is riding a mount, I am afraid that he will be able to find himself tonight. In this mission, Eren has an advantage, even if the other party learns that he has purchased the Warlock Scroll in the Adventurer's Guild, I am afraid that he will not believe that he can be a Warlock in one day and complete the inauguration.
How could the other party have thought that the slave miner he was chasing had the soul of a top mage living in his body, and the skills of a junior warlock could be mastered by himself without a teacher when he came in the past.
The difference in mentality between the two sides has become a condition that Alan can take advantage of, and with no intention of calculating, Allen intends to ambush the pursuers of the Bolton Mine.
"This place is still too open, you must find a narrow field, otherwise if the opponent has a mount, sprinting will be very bad for spellcasting." Alan thought as he drove the flame imps.
"Go, find a place with more dense trees."
"Hey...... Hey ......"
The flame imp summoned by the warlock could not speak, and there was a sneer in his mouth, but his IQ was quite high, and the imp listened to Allen's command and immediately disappeared into the night sky.
"Creatures with flying specialties are really useful." Alan nodded silently.
Flying: This mob has the ability to fly and has a chance to dodge physical damage in combat.
Looking at the attribute version of the flame imp on the system panel, Alan smiled slightly, he knew that the "certain chance" mentioned in the prompt was related to the level, and the first-level creatures with flying specialties had the probability of dodging physical damage about 6%, which was an extremely high probability.
In the past, in the game, it was said that the pets summoned by warlocks were the natural meat shields of warlocks. Although the summoned imp does not have much blood and blood, and the meat is not thick, his flying specialty also meets the requirements of serving as a meat shield.
When you don't look for players to fight with swordsmen and warriors with strong physical output, you will often bring pets with flying attributes to increase your advantage. However, the flying attribute is not without weaknesses, and when facing spells, the damage taken by low-end flying creatures will be significantly increased.
Alan continued to walk deeper into the forest, deliberately not erasing the traces, and in less than ten minutes, he met the flame imp head-on, who was flying in the air, constantly flapping his wings and making a sound from his mouth.
"Found it?" Alan asked?
The Flame Imp nodded.
Alan was overjoyed: "Lead the way." ”
"Hey......
The flame imp flew ahead and made a detour to the south, and soon, Alan noticed that the surrounding trees were getting denser and denser, and the snow on the ground was getting more and more, and it was a little difficult to walk, and the terrain was just right for him.
I chose a big tree, climbed the trunk more than three meters high, and waited patiently for the rest, even if there were no pursuers tonight, it was time to rest.
Meanwhile, on the way to Allen, a pair of centaurs appeared in the forest.
There were four people in total, and the leader turned out to be an orc with gray-brown hair, 2 meters tall, and riding a giant wolf. The northern part of the Holy Continent is a chaotic place, where orcs and goblins are rampant, and the one who rides a giant wolf is a wolf-headed orc!
Behind the orcs, three tall human knights on horses, wearing armor and steel helmets, with large swords in their hands and bows and arrows on their backs, soon arrived at the place where Eren was camping at night.
Investigating the ashes on the ground, the werewolf led by him looked cold: "There is still a trace of temperature in the bonfire, it must have been left tonight, the mine slave must not have gone far, we will continue to chase." He jumped on his mount and spoke with a fierce look in his eyes.
The werewolf took the giant wolf mount, surrounded the bonfire, sniffed a few times, and soon, raised the wolf's head, howled, and the werewolf urged, and the giant wolf galloped away.
The werewolf team is the one who is chasing Eren tonight. After receiving the master's order in the afternoon, the werewolf did not stop, and immediately set off, sniffing Allen's smell all the way to catch up, but in an hour or two, he had already discovered Allen's heart. The werewolf leader's heart is heartbroken, and tonight is about to make a meritorious service again!
Deep in the woods, the movement of the flame imp made Alan notice the change in the situation. Gathering his spirit, he waited for a while, but after a while, he heard a sound in the distance, and after dozens of meters, werewolves and giant wolf mounts had appeared in Allen's field of vision.
"You've spotted the pursuers of the Bolton Mine!"
The system prompt sounds immediately.
"How can there be werewolves!" Alan's heart skipped a beat.
Werewolf leader
Level: Level 3.
Class: Warrior.
Skills: Charge, Bloodthirsty Attack
Perks: Mount bonus, 10% attack speed
As a veteran player, Eren has done countless novice quests, and in general, a level 1 professional rarely encounters difficult opponents. Among all the races in the Holy Continent, werewolves are known for their thick skin, amazing attack power, and amazing growth potential, no matter what stage they are, they should not be underestimated.
The moment he saw the werewolf, a sense of discomfort suddenly appeared in Allen's heart. Many thoughts immediately flashed through my mind, this is a real world, and maybe what happens here cannot be completely rigid according to the rules of the game. But according to common sense analysis, it doesn't make sense, werewolves are extremely expensive to raise, and what mine owner would be bored enough to use a werewolf leader to chase down an "unarmed" mine slave?
Could it be said?
The rich experience of the game made Alan realize one thing, could it be that among the items he took from the mine at that time, there were things that the mine owner had to get? Alan left the mine in a hurry, and the day was so busy that he hadn't had time to count his gains.
Thinking of this, Alan concentrated even more, and in his sight, a wolf and three horses were about to enter Allen's attack range.
Human Knight
Level: Level 1.
Class: Knight.
Skills: Dash, Slash.
Perk: Mount bonus, speed increased by 5%
"Three human knights?" Alan was stunned again, it seemed that the determination of the Bolton mine to pursue him was very resolute!
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
The figure of the pursuer became clearer and clearer, Alan suddenly felt blood boiling all over his body, the real world is not better than the game, Alan does not want to test the consequences of death, today's ambush battle, only success is not allowed to fail.
"There are more people on the other side, so you have to take a few first." The staff in Alan's hand has already gathered strength.
Call!
A huge wind sounded from the forest, and the four of Rao is werewolf pursuers made a great noise, and the sound of the blood shadow arrow cast by Eren was still clearly audible.
Fast and resolute.
It's hard to resist!
In his previous life, Eren had an extremely deep study of the way of casting spells in the game, as a strong person who could fight against the invaders of the lower planes, even if he changed his profession and changed from a mage to a warlock, his instinct to cast spells did not change, and under the assault, the blood shadow arrow with blood-colored fire flew out of the end of the staff of Ailu, hitting the heart of a human knight.
Vital Strike!
The other party suddenly fell off the horse!
Alan immediately heard the sound of the system rising, and 100 experience points were credited.
"Not good! There is an ambush! The wolf-headed orc let out a loud roar.
"Mage?" A human soldier scrambled to the reins.
Mages and Warlocks are high-end adventurous professions, but there are very few people in the Holy Continent who can successfully take up positions (career badges can be purchased, but skill learning requires talent), and many humans who lack knowledge often confuse Warlocks and Mages.
No matter what the other party thought of him, Alan knew in his heart that the horror when the knight shouted the word mage, Alan had already felt it, and his heart was more confident.
The caster is silent, and the level 1 warlock has a certain advantage in the face of the level 1 knight.
And in Allen's hands, there are only two words: spike!
In a dash, the pursuers fell two, and the terrain where Eren was hiding was already narrow, and the fall of the horses caused the scene to fall into chaos.
The werewolf leader took the lead, and in the gap between Allen's two spells, the orcs had already spotted the target in the tree.
"Bloodthirsty Attack!"
The giant wolf under him sprinted, and a pair of giant axes had already slashed towards the tree where Eren was hiding.
Poof, huhoo......
A black figure, like a fragile canvas and like a huge bat, stood in front of the orc!
Take the initiative to choose the one with the most physical damage to block, which is worthy of the active warlock meat shield! Faced with this situation, Allen had a satisfied smile on his face.
With peace in his heart, he continued to cast spells, and there was another extremely loud sound, a sharp arrow, wrapped in blood, and the last human knight fell in a scream without casting a single move.
At this time, Alan noticed that the flame imp he summoned was in front of the orcs without his command, one beast and one ghost, the distance was extremely close, and the agility of the flame imp brought great interference to the wolf-headed orcs!
Blood Shadow Arrow!
Eren suddenly cast a spell, and the spell hit the giant axe, making a loud bang!
Hit again!
Burst!
The swift Blood Shadow Arrow hit its target, slamming into the orc's left shoulder.
The power of the professional's spell attack is that even a tree can impact it. The blood shadow arrow hit the werewolf, and the werewolf figure suddenly deviated, and the vital parts of the original weapon defense were suddenly exposed.
Eren held the staff tightly in his hand, and although he only had the only attack spell, it was still useful at the moment!
The Blood Shadow Arrow strikes again, and this time, the spell hits the werewolf's heart!
