Chapter 37: Skeleton Shooter
With every small step forward, a row of skeleton warriors falls, a path of death paved with soul fire. Layton watched with a heart-wrenching pain, these were skeleton warriors that had taken half a night of hard work to obtain.
However, the more this happens, the more it shows the strength of the skeleton shooters, and the stronger Layton's desire to subdue them.
At the moment, only the Skeleton Warrior's Bone Shield can slightly resist the Skeleton Archer's rain of arrows.
Leighton ordered the skeleton warriors to rush forward in the rain of arrows, while hiding in the ranks, observing the other party's state at all times. From time to time, he spotted a perfect opportunity to shoot a series of Hellfire Bullets at the skeleton archer, which was relatively slow compared to the bone arrows.
The third-order skeleton archer is not only strong in attack, but also belongs to the agile category among the skeleton undead, and in the face of the sneak attack of the Dark Fire Bomb, he has deftly dodged it three times or five times.
Seeing that several consecutive Hellfire Bombs had been dodged, Layton immediately calmed down, relieved his somewhat tired mind, and continued to hide in the team and keep looking for opportunities.
After a few moments, the skeleton shooters seemed to sense that the skeletal team was getting closer to them, and prepared to turn and retreat behind the rocks.
Right now, Leighton took advantage of the moment they turned around, his alertness was greatly reduced, and he saw the opportunity to be ruthless directly, and as soon as he struck, a dozen or so Hellfire Bombs roared towards them.
With a thud, one of the skeleton shooters was hit by a series of fire bombs. The skeleton instantly lost control like a kite with a broken string, smashing into the mountain rock behind him, and the head was directly shattered under the fierce bombardment, and the soul fire dissipated. Even the other skeleton shooters around him were more or less affected, and their bodies were unstable and fell.
The Hellfire Bullet worked in one hit, and Layton didn't expect that at such a long casting distance, the Hellfire Bullet still maintained such a powerful effect, so it seems that the skeleton shooter's defense is notoriously low.
It is estimated that with the simple brain capacity of the skeleton archer on the opposite side, they would not have imagined that as the farthest range of the long-range undead, even in the face of skeleton mages of the same level, they would have a day of suppression.
The distance of two hundred meters is not close, but it is not far, and Layton took advantage of the gap before they could stand up, urging the skeleton team to rush over at full speed.
In this short distance, Layton squeezed his magic power and continuously released the Dark Fire Bomb to cover for the skeleton team. By the time the skeleton team had successfully crossed the two-hundred-meter path of death and reached the area, two skeleton shooters had already died tragically under the bombardment of the Hellfire Bomb.
The last four remaining skeleton shooters saw that the opportunity was not good, and just turned to escape, they were surrounded by the rushing skeleton team, like an iron bucket, three layers inside and three layers outside.
The skeleton archers who are close to each other cannot exert half of their strength, and can only swing left and right with the white bone bow, forcing the skeleton team to be unable to get close.
Layton sneered: "It's all like this, and it's still delusional to struggle and resist." If I can't accept you today, wouldn't my skeleton warriors die in vain? ”
The remaining seventeen or eighteen skeleton warriors were ordered to rush forward fearlessly, and stepped forward with their white bone shields, holding the skeleton shooters dead in the middle of the shields and unable to move.
The range of motion around the skeleton archer was compressed to the extreme, the skeleton of the whole body was resisted, and the white bone arch in his hand had long been squeezed there.
Layton couldn't help but laugh excitedly as he looked at the skeleton shooter who had fallen into the predicament, like a leaf falling into a sea of white bones that had fallen into the water. He gave the order to the skeleton warriors to destroy them as much as he could, but not to kill them.
A group of skeleton warriors wielded their bone knives and slashed at the skeleton shooters who had nowhere to hide, and finally tortured the four skeleton shooters to death.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Layton stepped forward and imprinted the enslavement contract technique prepared in his hand on the soul fire of the skeleton shooter, and the process went smoothly.
After successfully enslaving the four skeleton shooters, a full and cool feeling came from the soul, and four thick soul fires swirled around the soul mist ball, and Layton felt that his strength had been greatly improved.
Although more than twenty second-order skeleton warriors were paid in this battle, it was a lot of money to be able to exchange for four third-order skeleton shooters with scattering skills and high attack power.
Layton looked at the four skeleton shooters in front of him as if he was looking at a treasure, the skeleton warrior's skeleton was covered with a layer of gray periosteum, which had a certain defensive power, slightly less than the skeleton warrior's, but it did not affect the speed at all.
They were taller and more lanky than the Skeleton Warriors, holding a white bone bow about half a man tall in their hands, and carrying an quiver with a grayish-black mist that was empty inside.
Looking at this mist, Layton had some vague guesses, but he was not very sure, the skeleton shooter was not like the dark goblins, he could communicate simply, and could only observe by himself.
Give the skeleton archer an order to shoot an arrow, and carefully observe the changes in the quiver. Sure enough, every time the skeleton archer took out a bone arrow from the quiver, the gray-black mist in the quiver lightened a bit.
This just confirmed Layton's previous conjecture, the gray-black mist was the inexhaustible source of the bone arrows, and the quiver continued to nourish this gray-black mist by absorbing the dead air in the outside air.
The world is endless, and each race of creatures will have their own unique way of survival, and undead creatures are no exception.
The skeleton archer drew the bow with his left hand and led the arrow with his right hand, and the bone arrow "swished", and instantly split into three as fast as lightning and shot through a thick dry bone tree. The first half of the bone arrow had sunk into the trunk of the tree, and the second half was still trembling and making a "buzzing" sound due to the great force.
Seeing the skeleton shooter's strong strength, Layton was secretly overjoyed in his heart.
Afterwards, after a brief rest in place, I practiced the Dark Meditation technique to restore my body to its best state. He then mustered up his strength and continued to wander the outskirts of Grey Valley Ridge with a new team of skeletons on the road to conquest.
The first night of coming to Grey Bone Ridge passed quickly, but fortunately, tonight's Night Soul Master arranged a day off and gave him plenty of time. Otherwise, Tutor Susan's public class, I'm afraid Layton will be late again, and now I can't waste this precious time.
Shuttling through the periphery of the Gray Bone Ridge, you can see everywhere that there are either a few lonely bone trees or bare mountain rocks. But it's much better than the endless gray of the Bone Wasteland, at least with some embellishments.
At this time, just after turning a huge rock, the skeleton team led by Layton met another team of ten skeleton shooters, and the two sides did not say a word and directly started the battle.
Leighton directly asked the skeleton warrior to raise the white bone shield and step forward, and a large group of skeleton soldiers followed closely behind him, like locusts in the sky surrounding these ten skeleton archers, and the four skeleton archers who had just been enslaved kept pulling their bows and shooting arrows, shooting these ten skeleton archers from time to time.
Leighton stood on the outskirts and watched this battle leisurely, constantly thinking in his heart: this is the correct way for summoners to fight, and one person represents a whole team. With a wave of his hand, thousands of undead fought on the battlefield and cut down the enemy, who could stop him?
The opposing skeletal shooter angrily attacked the group of invaders, and for a while, the bone arrows "roared" one after another. Unfortunately, due to the close proximity between the two sides, it is impossible to give full play to the long-range advantage of the skeleton shooter. It was soon surrounded, and the original scene of a second-order skeleton warrior tyrannically destroying a third-order skeleton shooter was recreated.
Looking at the skeleton shooter who was tortured and doubting his life, Layton stepped forward in three steps and two steps, excitedly enslaving all the skeleton shooter team to succeed in the contract, and said in his heart: This is really sent to the door.
He found that three of the ten skeleton shooters did not have scattering skills, but they did have a powerful attribute, bone arrow penetration.
It was tested and found to be powerful enough to pierce a five-man stout tree with a single arrow, leaving a deep hole in the trunk.
Looking at the shocking hole in front of him, Layton swallowed his throat nervously, "Fortunately, this is not aimed at me, otherwise I may not be able to dodge." ”
Ahead is the depths of the Gray Valley Ridge, Layton is a half-undead, and he can feel that there is a powerful undead in it, and the coercion released makes it impossible for the low-level undead to get close at all, which is the level of coercion between the undead.
In fact, when he just stepped into the land of Gray Valley Ridge last night, he vaguely felt that there was a distant gaze in the depths of Gray Valley Ridge, but it disappeared during the day, as if it had never appeared.
He didn't know what kind of emotions that that gaze contained, anger, calm, indifference, joy, it didn't seem to be, an indescribable feeling made him vigilant.
