Chapter 0018: Backstabbing
Elsewhere in the woods, Todd the barbarian was carrying a giant axe, staring warily at a thick gray fog in front of him.
The fog rolled out, and there was a shrill laugh like a ghost, and from time to time a few rickety goblin skeletons rushed out, grabbing rusty swords and shields to kill.
Ordinary goblins are already weak, and an adult can easily deal with two or three. Goblins that turn into skeletons are even weaker than slag, and if they run a few steps, they will drop a few bones and trip themselves up.
It's just that there are too many of these goblin skeletons.
Todd could chop off three or four fragile goblin skeletons with a casual axe. But more than a dozen waves of goblin skeletons had already come out of the gray fog, and after they were all split into pieces, they were still pouring out.
If Todd tried to run, the fog would pounce on him and try to swallow him. The shrill laughter in the thick fog was intermittent, constantly draining the fighting spirit of the barbarians.
"Big man, you can't escape. Your companion has betrayed you, and he is hiding in some shadow waiting to pierce your back.
There is no point in resisting, give up. I'm trying to make a strong zombie, and your corpse will be the best material. I can't bear to cut you to pieces, it's a waste. ”
The shrill laughter in the gray fog flickered and flickered, disturbing the eyes and ears.
Todd's attention wasn't on the ugly screech, he was more aware of the shadows around him. Because the dagger pierced in the shadows is the deadliest.
After more than half an hour of stalemate, Todd's feet were covered with a layer of bones.
The barbarian did not panic, but the shrill laughter in the gray fog became more and more impatient. The voice suddenly shouted, "McCann, are you asleep?" If you don't kill this guy yet, how will you please the Great Dark King? ”
A sigh came from under the shadows of the trees not far from Todd, and a tall, lanky guy showed his silhouette. He shouted to the unhurried savages, "Todd, when will you see through me?" ”
"Even Victor thinks something is wrong with you, do you think you're hiding it well?" Todd listened to the voice, and the axe blade brushed the face of the strong enemy, but did not answer directly.
"Is that the rookie follower next to you?" The one who flashed out of the figure was McCann, who was recognized by Zhou Qingfeng. The guy was holding a short dagger with blood in his hand, the blood had dried up, leaving black marks.
Accordingly, Todd had a wound on his lower back, which had penetrated through the gap in the cowhide armor, but the injury was not serious.
"That rookie friend of yours won't live long, and no one in the Black Forest who disobeys the god of tyranny will live. I was also forced to believe in the god of tyranny and kill in exchange for a chance to live. ”
McCann in the shadows hid again after speaking, and whispered in a flat tone: "Let's end this fight, my lord likes a happy death." You will be the first sacrifice I will give to it. ”
The enemy unleashed a life-and-death challenge, and the ferocious barbarians echoed with a war cry. The sound of the waves spread in all directions, and the gloomy woods were shaken.
Outside the sound, Zhou Qingfeng held a thin stabbing sword in his hand, risking his waist to quietly approach in the shadows. With Ciric's guidance, he faintly saw a tall, lanky thief with a quick flickering figure beside Todd, and a goblin warlock hiding in the gray mist.
"With your abilities, it's too hard to deal with that thief, but it's easier to deal with a goblin warlock. As long as you can kill that warlock, the guy named McCann might just run away. ”
Before Ciric asked Zhou Qingfeng to escape alone, Zhou Qingfeng refused without hesitation. He forces the God of Murder to help find Todd's whereabouts, and finally finds the barbarian in the other direction of Stucco Village.
However, Todd's condition was not good, he suffered a slight injury, and was attacked from both sides, although he was calm, he still struggled to deal with it. The opponent obviously wanted to use up his abundant physical strength first, dragging this fierce barbarian to death.
Zhou Qingfeng came at the right time, he observed the gray fog from the other direction, and could find that there was a short goblin warlock waving his hands and feet in the fog. The other party is dedicated to resurrecting some skeletons and sending them as cannon fodder to interfere with Todd's actions.
"Patience, you have to be patient. Patience is very important to thieves. You need to learn to control your breathing and heartbeat in order to maximize the effectiveness of 'shadow hiding'. ”
Ciric instructed Zhou Qingfeng on how to walk, how to observe, and how to breathe. This god started from the most basic teaching, and he taught and taught with a sense of pleasure of being a 'good teacher' - although Zhou Qingfeng is a rookie, he has a strong learning ability.
Holding the thin stabbing sword in his hand, Zhou Qingfeng slowly approached the goblin warlock. Todd in front of him was yelling, his axe like a windmill, preventing the thieves from backstabbing him.
On the surface, the barbarians had the upper hand, and the enemy could not get close at all. But his physical strength cannot be infinite, and sooner or later it will be exhausted.
The goblin warlock laughed, his sharp voice echoing every corner of the woods. It kept pulling shrunken goblin bones from its backpack, and with a single stroke of the staff in its hand, it brought these dead souls back to life on the bones.
A large number of goblin skeletons poured out a gray mist and pounced on Todd like a tidal wave until it was overwhelmed.
Todd had to swing his axe faster and prepare for a breakout. But he wasn't much sure about getting rid of an experienced thief, and he could only fight to the death until the last moment.
The ferocity of the barbarian was beyond the goblin warlock's expectations, and the dwarf fellow felt a little sorry for the skeleton puppet he had refined, so he pulled out an arcane scroll from his material bag and prepared to give Todd a hard blow.
At this time, Zhou Qingfeng had quietly come to the back of the goblin warlock. Todd's war cry perfectly drowned out the sounds he made as he marched, and his target's attention was focused on the barbarian.
McCann was circling Todd for an opportunity when he suddenly saw some unusual fluctuations of light and shadow behind the goblin warlock. He immediately shouted, "Watch out for your back." ”
The goblin warlock was about to unleash the power of the scroll when he was frightened when he heard it. It turned its head to see a figure suddenly appear behind it, holding a sword and stabbing it into its vest.
Yes......
The screams were sudden, and the goblin warlock couldn't dodge the backstab. It watched as the tip of the sword pierced through its body, from its back through its chest, blood dripping down its tip.
As soon as the thin stabbing sword was pierced, Zhou Qingfeng, who was holding the sword, quickly dodged away, dodging the opponent's possible near-death counterattack.
But the power of this sword is great enough, and the goblin warlock does not have a strong body to withstand such damage. There was no follow-up, it fell straight to the ground, and the arcane scroll it was holding also fell.
Todd on the other side was overjoyed, roaring and running after McCann's shadow with a giant axe.
McCann watched his companion die at a critical moment, but there was nothing he could do. His cautious nature did not allow him to stay, so he fled without looking back.
As soon as the goblin warlock died, the gray fog gradually closed and returned to him with a magical item. Todd gasped, looked at Zhou Qingfeng looming in the shadows in disbelief, and grinned.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to come, nor did I expect you to progress so quickly. You saved me again, and I'm so grateful. ”
Todd was covered in blood and sweat, and he stood tall in the heat of the battle for a long time. He thought that he would not be spared, so he wanted to maintain his last dignity before he died, but he didn't expect that he would be able to survive the catastrophe and live for the rest of his life.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled a little shyly, but he didn't take credit. Ciric shouted in his head, "I'm so." Obviously, it's all my credit, it's me who taught it well, and it's me who saved this barbarian. Why don't I get any benefits? ”
