Chapter Seventy-One: Ambush
The thief screamed in horror, ignoring the fame and dignity he had built in the underground world, he just ran away, looking at the faint afterimage left by his extreme movement, it was definitely beyond the scope of a level 22 thief, and he must also be a strong person who comprehended exclusive skills.
Once the strong don't even want their dignity, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
For example, now, Renault, whose secondary attribute is speed, has to watch as the distance between each other grows larger and larger. After a few turns, the thief completely disappeared from sight.
When you fully open the Eye of Nature, you can catch very few clues.
If you think about it, the profession of a thief is originally a great expert in terms of concealment, and Renault is relieved.
Obviously, this was a premeditated assassination, and unlike the revenge of ordinary players, the thieves sent out were very experienced in assassination, if it weren't for the fact that the Eye of Nature could see everything in a radius of ten yards, and even the scorpion tattoo on the left cheek of the escaped thief, perhaps Renault would have fallen seriously injured by this time. And the surviving thieves sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Renault, and they had stage fright halfway, but they saved their lives.
From a professional point of view, even if Renault catches a person, he may not be able to interrogate much useful information.
I'll let you go for the time being, Renault thought as he looked indignantly into the depths of the darkness.
As soon as Renault turned around, there was a slight vibration under his feet, and an undercurrent pierced through the earth, cutting behind Renault at an incredible angle.
Red flowers bloom in the darkness, leaving a striking color on the sky-blue magic robes.
The black blade left a deep scratch on Renault's back, even injuring two sections of his spine.
Before Renault could catch his breath, the black blade swirled into a graceful arc in the killer's palm, and the sharp blade changed from top to bottom, stabbing at the human heart.
Such an assassination method is still beyond the reach of even turning assassins.
The tricky concealment is combined with the exclusive second-stage attack, and the third thief who has been hidden for a long time believes that few people in the world can escape his killing moves, even the bosses of the underground world dare not underestimate his long-famous skills, and how can a mere level 20 magician be enough.
However, the "Heart Piercing Thrust" technique, which had already cut through the robe and penetrated the flesh, came to a halt half an inch from the mage's heart, and the indescribable pain came from the thief's abdomen, and then the body bounced out of control into the distance, slamming into the nearby house, and the strong force made the body cling to the outer wall of the house.
The thief ignored the pain caused by the impact on his back, and his body curled up and half-knelt like a shrimp, and at this moment there was a burning pain in his abdomen, and five distinct finger marks left a conspicuous fire on the thief's leather armor.
After all, he is a professional killer, and his strength is not comparable to that of the two unknown thieves in front of him. In a few breaths, he returned to a loose standing position.
The pain in his abdomen still lingered, but he believed that the magician was ten times more serious than his injuries, and that a magician, known for his cowardly body, could not withstand the pain of a dagger.
But......
When the thief's eyes widened and he looked at the magician, a blazing flame quickly took over his pupils.
Thanks to his quick reaction, he saw that his body sank, and he was completely hidden underground, avoiding the majestic fiery technique.
"Concealment?!" Renault frowned, the reason why the sneak attack just now was not discovered by the Eye of Nature was because the other party used a concealment technique, not the stealth used by most thieves.
Concealment is a trick to sneak the body underground, which is different from stealth to find dead spots with the naked eye.
Many low-level perceptions (including Level 1 Nature's Eyes) are unable to discern the killer who has activated the Occult Technique.
However, the limitations of the concealment technique are also very large, and the inability to move is its biggest and most obvious weakness, and at the same time, the hunter's own five senses that dive into the ground are temporarily lost, and unless he cultivates the perception skills, he can detect the prey on the ground.
Even so, it is necessary to cooperate with your companions to lure the enemy to the location of the pre-ambush before launching a sneak attack.
As a result, the vast majority of thieves who are accustomed to solitude prefer the more practical form of stealth, and only a few powerful Dark Killers who take pleasure in hunting players practice stealth.
Renaud strolled to the place where the thief had disappeared, looked left and right, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips.
In the darkness, the firelight suddenly brightened, and the bright flame sword was like a beam of scorching sun that pierced the darkness, illuminating the surrounding scenery clearly, and then was fiercely plunged into the concrete floor by Renault......
The hidden thief suddenly felt a bitter cold crawling up his backbone, and instinctively lifted the concealment skill and reappeared.
Rao was like this, and he received a heavy blow from the Ming Flame Sword on his shoulder, and the leather shoulder pads were difficult to resist the flames on the opponent's epic weapon, causing a lot of damage. It was also thanks to his sixth sense that if he hadn't lifted the concealment, Reynolds' thunderous sword might even penetrate the shoulder blades and pierce into the abdominal cavity.
In the face of a strong enemy, once the killer hiding in the darkness appears, there is only one way to go, and that is to escape.
It stands to reason that thieves are the nemesis of magicians, and even if the sneak attack fails, the head-on battle still occupies the professional advantage that cannot be eliminated, but this time, for some reason, the old spicy and vicious killer feels the cold of the night for the first time.
He moved his injured shoulder, but no blood flowed.
At this time, he realized that the other party's sword containing high heat had already melted his subcutaneous tissue and armor into a monstrous black charcoal.
One arm was basically crippled, and the thief's whole face turned the color of pig liver at the slightest pull of his finger, and he forced to clench his teeth so that he didn't scream.
In fact, Renault's injuries were not much lighter than those of the thieves, and a sneak attack without warning left a deep scratch on his back.
The explosive power of the thief could not be ignored, and blood poured out like a tide, penetrating a large area of the back. To make matters worse, Renault didn't have a life potion on him, and he watched as the badly injured thief took out a green potion bottle from his pocket and crushed it decisively, while most of the burns on his shoulder recovered.
What follows is an unfair battle, with one of the two sides wrestling is a prepared professional killer and the other is a bleeding magician, and the balance of the battle is clearly not on Renault's side.
However, the thief felt a strange sense of oppression in Renault's cold eyes.
The thief's perceptual talent was already superior, and coupled with his specialization in the perceptual domain, his intuition told him that he might not be able to take advantage of a head-on battle.
The thief who believed in his instincts, the magician who had left his bleeding state, turned around and ran all the way, as if he would end up in a catastrophe if he hesitated.
If the previous thief sensed the danger and fled, it was a great shame for the thief, but now this more powerful professional killer has simply disgraced the entire underground world.
Renault was once again shamelessly defeated by thieves, how can there be such a shameless killer in the world.
Ben also wanted to capture him, and then interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes, Renault deliberately showed weakness, but the result surprised him.
In terms of footsteps, how can a demon swordsman in his heyday be faster than a thief who majors in speed, Renault shook his head helplessly, it seems that this time the plan to capture is going to be ruined again, and when he thought of this, Renault had a sense of powerlessness.
The world is impermanent, and not everything is in your own hands, especially in the face of a strong thief who has no regard for dignity.
Is there really no way to take them?
The speed of the thief was really extraordinary, just a few steps, he jumped out of a distance of more than ten meters, and the perception skill scanned the movement behind him, and found that the sword-wielding "magician" did not have any pursuit of the move, but just raised his hand and snapped his fingers for no reason.
The thief let out a sigh of relief, and as long as he was twenty yards away, he was confident that he would be free from any strong enemy's pursuit, and once the distance was widened, and then he started stealthing in the dark, absolutely no one in the world would be able to find out where he was.
Now, the thieves are proud of the lurking in the darkless land they chose in the first place. Twenty yards (1 yard is about 0.9 meters) is the limit of the player's visual range under the light of the torch, which is nothing to a thief.
When the thief dived into the darkness, he finally retracted his perception range, and until his perception skill was completely disarmed, he didn't notice the five charcoal-like bright marks on his back......
Just two seconds after he disappeared into the darkness, a ball of fire exploded, and the sound of a huge explosion spread for kilometers away, waking up many players who had fallen asleep.
The sound of the explosion engulfed even the thieves' miserable wails, and their charred bodies, like kites with broken strings, collapsed with the still burning embers, and fell heavily on the hard, cold concrete floor.
The thief's consciousness began to blur, and the massive burn on his back faded from the sharp pain it had before. That's proof of the rapid loss of vitality.
From beginning to end, the thieves couldn't understand why their bodies suddenly burned and exploded without warning, and even if Renault cast a spell to sneak attack, the distance of twenty yards was enough to ensure that he was good at sensing the domain to find and dodge.
Now that everything doesn't matter, the veteran thief has seen his HP drop sharply and crossed the red cordon, with no intention of stopping.
It's over, it's all over.
The thief was so unwilling, he was not afraid of death, but he never expected to die in the hands of a 20-year-old magician.
He began to regret why he abandoned the war and fled, he knew that if he died like this, it would be better to have a good fight, maybe the ending may not be like this.
But reality has no ifs.
The eyes of the prostrate thief began to fade, and the fire burning on his back did not show the slightest sign of decay, but the burn was no longer tormenting his nerves.
At the last moment of his life, a pair of sky-blue cloth boots entered the thief's sight, and in addition to the squeak of burning flesh and leather, a voice sounded: "Hey! Sure enough, it was not saved. ”
The tone did not have any celebration of the winner, but was a little helpless, as if he was very dissatisfied with the ending of killing the thief in seconds.
The thief's dilated pupils dilated sharply, and the anger allowed him to regain the last bit of life as he was dying, his frighteningly white lips opened with difficulty, and he spat out a few words viciously: "The underground world will not let you go......"
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken his last breath.
The body was also judged dead by the system, shattering into countless flying particles, leaving only the unextinguished flame on the ground, a crystal stone that refracted orange light.
