Chapter 528: Tracking: Demon
In Roddy's plan, they will first find the villages of the "lambs" on the outskirts of Tasman, and use a straightforward "decapitation" tactic to first cut off the undead's control over these humans, so as to win the support of some humans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Di thinks that he can achieve this goal, but now this scene makes him feel a sense of surprise with a knife in the air: even the object of "beheading" is gone, what should he do?
"Nata patrols at low altitudes, and the others go into the village to explore and stay on guard. ”
Now that the soldiers are strong and fully equipped, Luo Di is naturally full of confidence when he speaks. With a wave of his hand, he followed the group into the village. The cavalry squad dispersed, and in less than half a minute, they roughly sifted through the small village. The barbarian soldiers in the rear marched in an unhurried formation, divided into three sections: front, middle, and back, while Roddy, Akasha, Merinthra, and the ten high elf mages were in the middle position. Although the number of barbarian soldiers is small, but with a big man like Erwin wearing a full set of heavy armor to block the front and back, this infantry phalanx can be called a mobile "steel fortress", and ordinary cavalry teams cannot break through at all.
After such exploration, the group did not encounter an enemy attack. But when Merinsela and Akasha entered the village, they immediately realized that something was wrong—there were many corpses in the village, most of them from the poorly dressed villagers, and nobles in rich costumes and privately armed soldiers had died in the square, and a faint green mist had not yet cleared above these corpses.
"It's the Plague Technique!"
Melinthra frowned as Akasha next to her had already raised her scepter and began to recite the prayer - the scepter had been specially obtained by Roddy from the Rosicrucifixion, and although it did not reach the "epic" quality, it was a rare and superior quality in the "fine class". The Amplified "Purification Technique" quickly removed the rancid smell from the air, and also purified the knights who returned in batches one by one. Prevent them from being affected.
"The person who casts the spell is not very powerful, this is a low-level plague technique, and the effect is close to disappearing after a day of existence. Merinthera casually cast a few spells, and the movements were so fast that even Roddy didn't have time to recognize them. Then she felt the change in the density of the elements around her, and walked towards the center of the village, pointing to a place, "This should be the original casting location." ”
Roddy searched over and saw at a glance that the corpse on the ground that had lost his head belonged to the undead, and that the piercing wounds on the other party's body were obviously caused by the low-level "bone spear technique", and that the nobleman in the rich robe still had many footprints on his body, and that the private soldier had also died in the beating of farm tools—with these signs, it was not difficult for Roddy to guess what had happened.
"So... These peasants rebelled and killed the nobles who were in charge of them, but what happened to this necromancer?"
Melinthella's mind was just as fast, but she didn't know what would happen to Tasman in the future like Roddy, so she didn't understand for a moment why there were necromancers who cast "plague spells" and were killed.
Instead, Luo Di frowned and pondered, slowly clearing his thoughts in his heart.
He was aware of the "civil unrest" in Tasman. But that was four years later, when the Tasman had already carried out a large-scale invasion of the Cullen land, and the civil unrest of the "backyard fire" forced Augustine to withdraw all the way to suppress the undead army, and it took three months to completely subside - when a player organized a team to enter the Tasman, a series of posts that broadcast the undead civil unrest was also at the top for a while...
The civil unrest, which should have occurred four years later, broke out early at this moment, apparently due to Roddy's constant obstruction of Augustine's plans, which eventually led the undead emperor to start the war early.
Thinking that he had completely changed history, Roddy felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
"What's next?
"Maybe we're going to change our plans, we should-"
Before Luo Di finished speaking, he heard a sharp whistle suddenly from the rain curtain, and he immediately turned his head to lock on to the duck hovering in the sky, and arranged for the surroundings: "The cavalry team will follow immediately, and the second level will be ready for battle!"
There are five types of Nata's arrows, and now this one represents "finding less than three enemies", so naturally there is no need for the entire team to go to great lengths to encircle and suppress them. But not long after the sound of the first arrow fell, a second short chirping arrow rang out again.
Roddy and Pyrrhine Shera looked at each other, and both realized that Nata might be in trouble, and immediately rushed into the distance.
Flying in the rain was far more difficult than usual, not only was everything around her extremely slippery, but even her vision became extremely poor, if she hadn't activated the "Eagle Eye Technique" on her necklace when she had just scouted, I am afraid it would have been difficult for her to find the inconspicuous figure on the periphery of the battlefield...
As a ranger, Nata is very clear about her current role: to spot the enemy and warn about it. So she immediately marked the whereabouts of this suspicious guy with a sound arrow, and prepared to hover to lock on to the opponent's position, waiting for the cavalry troops to arrive later to deal with the target.
She had been familiar with this process for a long time, but then she realized that she had underestimated the speed of the other party's evasion - almost the moment the arrow rang out, the creature lurking in the bushes reacted immediately.
The opponent fled into the distance like a fish swimming in water, and the lightning speed made Nata nearly lose her target. She immediately grabbed the duck and began to dive and shoot a second arrow!
She knew very well: with the speed of the other party's escape, it would be too late to wait for the cavalry to arrive here to capture the other party.
After the duck entered the low altitude, Nata jumped down, and the "slow fall technique" that was about to start before landing made her body stagnate in mid-air, and then landed lightly. This set of movements was seamless, allowing her to land directly more than ten meters behind the target.
As a wood elf, such a forest is the absolute "home field" for her, but after chasing dozens of meters out, Nata was surprised to find that the other party's travel speed in the forest seemed to be faster than her!
With this kind of escape speed, you can't aim even if you want to stop shooting arrows, and if you miss two arrows, you can only watch the opponent escape, so Nata immediately decided to catch the opponent in a melee manner.
At this distance, she could see the enemy's appearance clearly: a human-like body and a tail similar to its length made it look like a large lizard, and the opponent ran with both hands and feet, and the lilac tail not only maintained the balance of the body, but also could hook the trunk of the tree like a tentacle, quickly changing the center of gravity and the direction of the body.
After all, Nata's two legs can't outrun this four-legged "beast", but she is no longer the ignorant wood elf hunter she used to be. Nata, the battle-hardened ranger, strode suddenly, and her "Leap" skill and "Sprint" were activated at the same time, and her body approached the opponent as if it were catapulted out.
"Shhhh
Sensing the movement, the enemy relied on its long tail to wrap around the trunk of the tree, and the huge inertia brought a fierce grinding sound, causing it to change direction by 90 degrees.
Nata's body couldn't twist like this, but she chose to leap high and activate the "Leap" again when her feet stepped on the tree trunk, and activated the "Arcane Impact" skill on her leather boots!
"Smack!"
The "Arcane Impact" enchanted by the Boots is a skill that Roddy has optimized for her, and its effect is basically the same as another "Leap", but it has a wider range of applications, and can even be used as an attack skill. And now, the tremendous momentum of its superposition with "Leap" makes Nata like a bullet straight at the enemy who has just turned and has not had time to accelerate...
"Stop!"
Nata, who had always been silent, burst out, and she slashed a distance of fifteen meters in mid-air, grabbed the opponent's tail, and then knocked the opponent to the ground!
"Bang-"
A piece of rotten wood was smashed by the two people who were tumbling, and Nata endured the dizziness and the pain from her shoulder, grabbed the opponent's arm and prepared to hold the opponent down with an anti-joint technique, but the skinny body had extraordinary strength, and Nata was almost bounced away by twisting vigorously.
She felt that she was facing a carp with great strength, and she just wanted to change her position and hold the other party, but she saw the guy in front of her turn over and wave his hand, and his sharp claws slashed sideways like daggers.
"Click!"
Nata didn't dodge or dodge, she raised her left hand to block the opponent's attack - the sturdy dragon scales burst open the opponent's nails, this strong defense obviously stunned the enemy, and this brief hesitation suddenly made it take a solid punch from Nata!
"Bang!"
Ranger Nata's strength value is comparable to that of an orthodox knight who is about to advance by stacking equipment, so the opponent's head is almost reversed with this blow, and he crashes to the ground on the spot.
But before the second punch hit, Nata found that her arm was wrapped around the opponent's tail - the force of the drag backwards was beyond imagination, and it actually pulled her to the ground!
"Damn..."
The other party didn't look at her, got up and continued to run into the distance. Nata reached for it, and the tail slid down her fingertips like a loach. She didn't get up either, she decisively grabbed the small horn bow she carried behind her back, and drew her arrow to aim...
An arrow silently swept past her, and the next moment the running enemy was enveloped in blue light, and half of her body was completely frozen when she fell to the ground.
It's Roddy's frozen arrows.
She slowly released the bowstring, and the next moment, Roddy had already appeared beside her, and pulled up Nata, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Very decisive, not bad." ”
This sentence finally relaxed Nata's tense expression, and she knew that the enemy would not be able to escape.
Standing up, Nata saw that the guy who was still trying to run away was dragged up in the air by a spell with a wave of her hand from Melinthera. As soon as the mage clasped his hands, the struggling purple guy was forcefully pressed into a regular "mummy" pose.
"Humanoid, powerful, fast, and smells of magic... But the smell makes me uncomfortable. ”
Melinthella's eyes narrowed, her gaze rarely solemn.
She was curious about the creature, after all, dragons are not omniscient, and it is normal for several humanoids to be unaware. But Roddy, who was on the side, stood there for a long time without moving-because he was startled by the prompt handwriting that suddenly appeared in front of him:
"You've spotted a demon subspecies. ”
"You have gained the passive skill 'Tracking: Demon'. (To be continued.) )
