Chapter 28: The Feeling of Upgrade
The colder weather in December is not a trace of the forests of the Aveli Mountains, and the breeze through the leaves carries the fragrance and coolness of the forest, and sends a pleasant birdsong.
Li Xun stepped on a thick layer of dirt covered by rotting branches and leaves, and slowly advanced towards the depths of the forest, with 17 lickers and Skeletrons scattered around him.
This is the third day of coming out, and according to the possible locations of the undead provided by the army, Li Xun has already checked 2 suspicious areas but found nothing. Turning out the old parchment map, looking at the rough lines and the extremely rudimentary terrain depiction, Li Xun really doubted that anyone could find the place he wanted to go with this kind of map?
Hate put away the map, but unfortunately he can't predict spells, otherwise how can it be so hard! Li Xun now has his own set of means of finding people and things, every 50 miles forward, let the Skeleton King guard himself, and then spread out 17 lickers in all directions, lickers bounce powerfully, limbs are flexible, can run quickly in the trees, much faster than searching the forest carefully, as long as he finds traces of the enemy, he can quickly rush over.
Li Xun stood up abruptly and looked in a certain direction, and found something. The message from the licker was that it was a campfire spot hidden in dirt, and the traces should have been left last night, four miles from his current position.
Half an hour later, Li Xun was already standing next to the bonfire that had been dug up again, and there was nothing to find in his soul vision, and he used "detection magic" for safety, and he did not sense the fluctuation of magic items within 100 meters nearby, which avoided the danger of stepping into the enemy's trap, otherwise the enemy would leave a ghost eye here, and he would have to change from a pursuer to a prey.
Li Xun re-dispatched the lickers around the residue of the bonfire to find the whereabouts of the enemy, while he stayed where he was looking for clues.
This campfire point is located at the corner of the mountain wall and a boulder, it can shelter from the wind, can block the light of the campfire, the location is very good, but the space is small, barely able to rest 2-3 people, it seems that the number is not much, could it be that the necromancers are also scattered?
Hmph, no matter how good your hiding skills are, as long as you still have those clumsy zombie skeletons, you can't really be traceless!
Soon new clues were found, and it seemed that they had hidden deep in the mountains, and Li Xun immediately commanded the lickers to follow the trails, trying to catch up with them and carry out a night attack tonight.
The forest at night is not quiet, there are subtle sounds of beasts moving in various dark corners, because the trees are tall and dense, the campfire of this small camp built on the leeward side is not far away, the two cloaked men sit quietly by the fire, and the two vampires around them turn into bats and hang on the tall trees to watch the surrounding movements.
A licker lightly jumped onto the trunk of the tree, covering himself with leaves, and silently stared at the camp 30 meters away, waiting for the next order.
Li Xun stopped 3 miles away, looked in the direction of the camp, the mountains and forests under the night were dark and dreary, and he couldn't even see a little fire, although he could see everything through the eyes of the licker, but he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something?
Gritting his teeth, his soul vision can only rely on his own eyes, and it seems that he needs to observe it closely, and it is necessary to take some risks. After advancing for a while, it was estimated that it was 1 mile away from the necromancer's camp, Li Xun left Skeletron and 3 lickers to respond, and 3 lickers were scattered around the necromancer's camp to monitor each other's dynamics, and the other lickers scattered around with themselves as the center, slowly approaching the camp.
When he was half a mile away from the enemy's camp, Li Xun blessed himself with "invisibility" and "detection magic", and then continued to approach slowly, and his soul vision kept observing the movements around him. Soon Li Xun came to the tree where the licker sentry was, and a high place where the camp could be seen with the naked eye. The camp was still the same as before, there was no movement, and the two cloaked men wrapped their bodies tightly and sat motionless by the fire. Li Xun squinted and smiled, he couldn't see the existence of these two people in his soul vision, but there were two big red dots flashing in the shadow of the forest trees 20 meters behind them.
Traps, bait, and bait?
No wonder I always feel that something is wrong when I observe with the eyes of the licker, sitting next to the fire is just a phantom created by "mirror magic", there is no shadow flickering behind me when the fire beats, and this is where my own wrongness comes from, hehe, it seems that my intuition is quite accurate! It seems that the enemy has been prepared, and even the bait is ready, just waiting for the tracker to take the bait and bite the bait. It is estimated that the enemy has already discovered his arrival, and now he is waiting for himself to step into the trap, and it seems that he still has time to set up the battlefield.
Li Xun carefully observed the upcoming battlefield again, there are really a lot of magic traps, but most of them are distributed in the rear of the shadow ambush behind the camp and on both sides of the camp, only the direction where he is located is much less, it seems that the enemy wants to lead himself to this road, to avoid the ambush being inadvertently stepped on by himself! The two red dots in the soul vision are not dark in color, they should be low-level mages of the same level as themselves, and they can eat it.
The decision was made, and Li Xun lurked in place and began to dispatch troops. Skeletron and the 3 Lickers quickly rushed over, and the Lickers scattered around also began to gather around and prepare for a cluster assault centered on the 2 Abominations that had just been released. After Skeletron arrived, he took the oversized cloak that Li Xun took out from the dimensional bag and quickly draped it on his body, and immediately transformed into a mysterious shield warrior, restraining the aura on his body, and it was difficult for outsiders to discover the essence of his undead creatures without detecting magic.
Now, except for the 2 lickers who detoured to the back of the ambush, all the others were gathered around. With the appearance of abomination, there is no longer any sneak attack, and the large man of more than 4 meters is simply unstoppable. With a command, 2 Abominations swayed from side to side and rushed towards the camp, 15 Lickers jumped up the trunks to follow, and Skeletron followed closely behind Abomination, shielding himself with their massive bodies.
The momentum of the "Knock Knock Knock ......" Abomination Charge was unstoppable, the entire mountain forest seemed to be trembling, and the distance of 30 meters was instantaneous, passing through the bonfire, and directly killing the determined ambush.
In Li Xun's soul vision, the red dots in the ambush were increasing rapidly, and in just a dozen seconds after the raid began, they had become dense from the original two red dots. Necromancers are recognized as the most difficult spellcasters, each means a small army, and most of the spells mastered are vicious and vicious, and today I will try to see how it looks!
As soon as the many subordinates released by the necromancer from the undead space poured out of the shadows of the dense forest, they were knocked into the team by two road shovels like abomination, and the body of more than 4 meters tall did not need any means of attack, and directly crushed the many undead creatures.
They are all immortal spirits of each other, there are no vital parts, and they also rely on their bodies to eat, and their large body size and tonnage have become an overwhelming advantage. Numerous necromancers added countless scratches and wounds to the 2 abominations, but the 2 abominations didn't care about it, seeing where the enemies were densely packed, it was a burst of collisions, and they were also wielding iron hooks and big guillotines in their hands, no skills were needed to dodge, they were scattered and shattered when they touched them, even high-level vampires had no choice but to wander around and attack through the gaps, and never dared to be touched by iron hooks and guillotines.
There was a loud shout from behind the undead creatures, and the undead under command began to disperse in a planned way, and the ghosts and vampires flew into the air, leaving the battlefield and intercepting the lickers in the trees; the thick-skinned zombies crowded desperately to block the abomination's advance; the skeletons were useless, scattered around barely a line of defense. Then, 2 fireballs slammed into the bodies of the 2 Abominations. There was a "boom" explosion, sparks splashed everywhere, and the two abominations in the center of the explosion were still shaking forward, but there was a lot of scorched black on their bodies. The abomination can withstand it, but the zombies around them can't withstand it, and a piece of it is instantly put down within 5 meters, and the necromancer's attack seems to be clearing the way for them.
There was another curse from the rear, this time it was replaced by a single "Extreme Cold Ray", but the abomination was also under the command of Li Xun, he grabbed the zombie corpse with one hand and threw it into the air to block the spell, grabbed the zombie corpse with the other hand and stuffed it into the middle of the chest and swallowed it for self-healing, and continued to approach the necromancer's position without stopping.
At this time, the necromancers were not calm, so they had to recall 5 vampires to entangle the abomination, and the lickers who had been suppressed by the ghosts and vampires just now began to move again. The necromancer immediately shifted his target, and several huge fireballs smashed over, and the five lickers who couldn't dodge and a few ghosts around them immediately turned into screaming torches and turned to ashes.
At this time, the invisible Li Xun and Skeletron had already rushed behind the abomination, Li Xun had been suppressing Skeletron's charge before, and now he saw that the attention of the 2 necromancers was distracted by the licker, and immediately sent a signal to Skeletron to charge, and he landed 6 fireball spells in a row in front of the necromancer, instantly exploding a path to charge. After draining the fireball ring, Li Xun was bombarded with spells against the two necromancers who revealed their bodies: the fiery orb, the rocky thorns, the daylight ray, and the scorching ray......
For a while, Li Xun released all the attack types of spells he mastered, breaking the layers of defense of the two necromancers, and scared the two of them to block the gun's eyes with their hands like hatred. The vampires, who have not suffered casualties since the beginning of the war, can't protect themselves this time, the zombies are too slow, and only the vampires can keep up with the rhythm of the mage, which leads to the fact that the vampires, who are usually countless times more noble, can only become cheap cannon fodder at this time, and after blocking Li Xun's several must-kill attacks, only 2 of the 5 vampires survived to the end.
Li Xun, whose mana had bottomed out, immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, turned around and ran, anyway, there is so much he can do, whether he can seize the opportunity depends on the performance of Skeletron.
Skeletron followed the death passage opened by the spell, regardless of the tearing of the remnant vampires, rushed to the front of the two necromancers, and a "Stygian Fire Critical Strike" smashed into the body of the necromancer on the left, because all the shields had been shattered, this skill made him stunned for 3 seconds, a fatal 3 seconds! Before he could wake up from the vertigo, his head had already flown up for a long time.
With his death, nearly half of the undead on the battlefield lost control.
The remaining necromancer had lost his fighting spirit, and the fear of facing death took control of his body and mind, and with a scream shook Skeletron back, he immediately commanded the remaining 2 vampires to grab his hands and take to the air, intending to abandon this unexpected battle.
The two Abominations who had already rushed over threw their hooks at the same time, one missed, and the other smashed into the back of the vampire on the right, and the makeshift flying combination immediately lost its balance, grazed the tree and fell to the ground.
Li Xun, who loves to beat the water dogs, ran back again, trapped them with a spider web technique, and then commanded 1 abomination and a rush + hungry tiger pounced, creating a new way of killing people in this world!
A familiar warm current rushed by, and Li Xun was upgraded, level 5!
