Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dark Barrier

In the darkness of the night, Martin used a stick to make the campfire brighter, and then he took advantage of the light from the campfire to devote himself to reading. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was a man who couldn't sit idle, so he didn't like the night vigil very much. However, he is well aware of the heavy responsibility, so he only chooses a light-hearted collection of novels for light reading. Every now and then, he would raise his head and inspect the four directions. Every once in a while, he would get up and walk around the neighborhood a little.

Natasha slept soundly, but from the ears that twitched from time to time outside the tent, she was still on alert, ready to get up and fight at any moment. Nomads have the ability to do just that.

As for the captive, he probably knew that he couldn't successfully seduce Martin, and he didn't need to do that again after revealing his identity. Therefore, after Natasha fell asleep, after a little temptation, she gave up the seduction and entered the "trance" state of the drow elf. It is one of the abilities unique to the pan-elf race, and it is a superior way of resting than human sleep.

Suddenly, the bats flying above Martin's head made a sound that was inaudible to the normal human ear, but could be heard by the Starch Spencer Pai Druid.

It's an alert.

After a sigh, Martin quickly woke up Natasha and Zali.

Without hesitation or complaining, Natasha quickly climbed out of her sleeping bag and rushed out of the tent. Completed the armament with great speed. You know, as a nomad, you must always be on guard against such things as robbing the tribe. Nighttime sneak attacks are all too common. Therefore, Natasha did not panic at all and immediately completed the preparations for battle.

"Damn!" she cursed as she glanced up at the night sky.

As a nomadic warrior, she is fully trained and has a pair of night vision eyes, which can accurately distinguish the terrain, vegetation, people and animals in the eyes of ordinary people.

But that is conditional, and in the darkness of the real lightlessness, she can see nothing. Natasha's so-called night vision eye is actually nothing more than the ability to see under moonlight and starlight.

And now, it's the darkest time of the day. The so-called pre-dawn darkness. At this moment, it is actually much darker than late at night. Because, at this moment, except for the light that does not shine from the sun, the light from the other stars in the sky and the moon is gone, and at the same time, there is no scattered light from the atmosphere. Therefore, it is the moment when you really can't see your fingers. Therefore, Natasha's night vision ability, which she gained by relying on shimmering light, was completely lost at this moment.

Of course, there was a bonfire, but that light couldn't break through the darkness. Most of Natasha's combat ability has been lost.

"How many enemies?" asked Natasha calmly.

"Six!" Martin replied. The particular bat relied on sound waves to detect the situation very clearly. The question he pondered now was how to illuminate the surroundings and restore Natasha's fighting ability.

Because he was able to feel the situation around him through sound waves in the darkness caused by even spells, Martin had never prepared the zero-level magic of light magic. He was very remorseful now, and he actually didn't take into account Natasha's battle problem in this situation when preparing for the divine art.

With it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Hurriedly rummaged through his dimensional bag. It's a lot of stuff, and it's not been put together much at all. But Martin finally found it. It was a small invention of a Stap Spencer Druid. It can emit intense light.

"Let the bats hang this in the sky, and you can solve the problem of light. Martin smiled with satisfaction and said to Natasha.

Before Natasha could say anything. Zali, who was still in bondage, had already spoken. "Are you stupid?" she sneered mercilessly. "Ah, put such a good target in the sky, and the first round of crossbow arrows will shoot your light source down!"

The taunted Martin did not show a trace of anger, on the contrary, he suddenly woke up, yes, of course the enemy would use that method to extinguish the light source. I didn't think of it!

"Enemy, don't you need a light source, how could they attack at this moment?" asked Natasha, puzzled. As a seasoned fighter, she knows that lack of light is more lethal to attackers than defenders. After all, the defending side is aware of the surrounding environment. In particular, the defenders also have the tactic of "Crazy Moments": making all defenders shrink and motionless, and then firing wildly at any moving figure.

"The enemy certainly doesn't need light. We have high ground here, and as far as you can see, they don't have torches at all. According to the detection of bats, they travel very fast and are not affected by darkness in the slightest. Then, Martin smiled wryly and pointed at Zali, "It's simple, they're dark elves just like this guy." That's why you don't need light. โ€

Then, Martin confronted Zari and asked, "Hey, could it be someone from your family who came to save you?" โ€

"What I said before was completely true. Now, it can only be my enemies, who have come to hunt down my remnant. Zali replied calmly in the face of Martin's questioning.

Just kidding, I'm probably more dangerous than you right now, right? If I am caught by a rival family, I will probably be sacrificed in blood!"

"Please untie me and give me back my gear. Zari suddenly shouted at Martin.

"What?"

"I knew very well that it couldn't be someone from our family who came to rescue me. You are not Drow, and you don't know how if I were caught, I would be sent to that terrible altar and sacrificed cruelly. So, please give me back the weapons and equipment. I don't want to be caught as easily as a bird with its wings tied. No matter what, I'm going to try to resist. Even if the final outcome is the same...... That's probably the only bit of pride I have!" Zari said excitedly, her eyes shining.

"You don't have to go to war, after all, there are still ...... of us," Martin had just said when he was interrupted by Zari in a sarcastic tone.

"Ouch, can I still expect you two to fight for me and take risks? Tell you the truth, even if you hand me over now, you won't survive. At most, let them give you a merciful death sentence. It's better to return the weapons and equipment to me, let me hold them back for a while, and you can run for your lives!"

Then, Zali pursed her lips strangely and said to Martin, "Judging from your actions after I was captured, you are undoubtedly a person who cherishes life, and you are so worried about my counterattack. Now, follow through on your philosophy and run away!"

Zari was surprised to see that her words worked, and Martin really untied her, and then returned her weapons and equipment. While she was busy dressing, Martin spoke, "It's still a while before they get here, let's discuss the tactics of the three of us." โ€

Hearing Martin say this, Zali's hand that was dressing herself paused visibly. Then he didn't do anything or say anything. Martin's words were something she couldn't ask for. She wished Martin had made that decision too much.

"Yes, I did what I did after you were captured because I cherished my life. My life is worth a lot of money, and it is priceless to me. Then, Martin chuckled softly, "It's just that I'm not cowardly enough to change my decision because of six drows. โ€

Then, Martin looked into Zali's eyes sincerely and said, "Since I have agreed, then I will do my best to send you to your sister." โ€

Is this the emotion peculiar to surface creatures? She knew that there was no such thing in Drow's society. At first, she had high expectations for the surface, but after going through those things, she felt that the surface and the underground were cruel worlds that made no difference. But now she had some faith in the people on the surface.

Once dressed, feeling the constant flow of power from the ogre's gauntlet, Zari felt great. For a young drow like her, her underdeveloped body did not provide enough strength to support battle, and simply wearing a weapon was not enough to restore her full combat strength. She had to be aided by these magical items.

"What tactics do you think they will use to attack us?" asked Martin. He was not a self-righteous man, and he believed that it was most appropriate to follow the advice of experts on the matter.

"We are used to attacking when there is an overwhelming number and avoiding close combat as much as possible. Therefore, in underground battles, we always like to send a large number of cannon fodder composed of other races in front. But according to the information you got, if only six people came, then it should be all drow. However, they still avoid melee combat as much as possible, using crossbows to attack. Drow are a people who are good at wielding the power of the crossbow, and be careful that we apply poison to the arrows. โ€

Hearing this, Martin frowned slightly. Although previous battles have shown that the crossbow is far from being a match for bows and arrows when shooting at each other, the opponent has the advantage in numbers, and most importantly, Natasha is not able to use her archery skills in the darkness.

However, Martin is a spellcaster himself, and he can also suppress the enemy's ranged attacks with spells. At this moment, Martin thanked the Drow for picking this moment to attack. By resting, Martin has recovered the magic he used to capture Zali. Full of spell slots gave Martin plenty of confidence.

"And what would the enemy's spellcasting abilities look like?" Martin asked again.

"Let's see who's leading the team to arrest me. If it's a high-caliber priest, then out of self-confidence, there probably won't be a second spellcaster in the team. But if it's a priest who is not very strong, there may be a mage to support you. โ€

"Is that so...... Drow's spell-like abilities, how many more times can you unleash the Dark Enchantment?" Martin asked Zari after a moment's thought. Now, the situation has changed a bit, he can't bombard his opponent with all his might, and he must think about keeping his magic at war with the enemy's caster. Then he remembered the Dark Barrier.

The Dark Enchantment is an existence that, once unleashed, cannot even be seen through by Drow's dark vision. That's right, Drow chose this dark hour to attack, limiting Natasha's ability to observe. Then you might as well use darker darkness to strip Drow of his vision! But will the Drow mage who ran to the surface to take advantage of the nightfall sneak attack remember the magic of light?

When observation is limited, it is advisable to create an environment in which both parties are restricted. If you want to be blind, you want to be deaf!

This tactic has a resounding nickname among the Starch Spencer Druids: full-band blocking jamming!

Besides, the only ones who really fell into the darkness were Zari and Natasha. Martin himself, however, can accurately perceive his surroundings based on sound waves, just as a bat can detect a moth in the night sky with sound waves.

"Gee, can you only use it once a day? I thought I could only use it once a day because I didn't strip the whole thing when I used the Devil Brick to take the dark elf trait...... In this way, the two of us combined, there are only two, which is not enough. โ€

"It's okay," Zari smiled and replied to Martin, "and in my dimensional bag, there are half a dozen dark scrolls." โ€

Someone's post in India, and finally someone's post about China's heavy industry, and Ma Nan's post have all generated heated discussions...... and name-calling.

Ma Nan, she was the college girl who questioned Clinton back then. According to the JYs, she later married to the United States. So the JYs naturally seized on: "The patriotic girl who questioned Clinton back then is now married to the United States and has been beaten into the interior by the enemy" and made a big fuss.

Oh, first of all, it's true that Ma Nan married an American. But she didn't marry in the United States. On the contrary, it would be more appropriate to say that the American went to China. And Ma Nan did not study in the United States, on the contrary, her first boyfriend broke up with her because of studying in the United States. That happened before "questioning Clinton."

And if the photos circulating on the Internet are true, then the American Ma Nan married, although he is not a super handsome guy, but if Ma Nan's own appearance alone, it is still difficult to find such a good-looking husband in China.

Actually, having said all that, what I really want to say is. Because Ma Nan married an American, many people who insulted her were JY who kept saying that people were cooking persimmon oil.

People boil persimmon oil, and in the end they don't even have the freedom to fall in love?

Moreover, it is a person's personal freedom to choose where he lives and to choose his spouse. In times of peace, a person should not be considered treason just because he emigrated to a foreign country. In the same way, a person should not be insulted because his spouse is a foreigner.
