Chapter 33: Digging Bones
It was as if countless sharp arrows had cut through the air, and the shadow bullets that had come out of the sand were as sharp as knives, and any object that stood in their flight path would be ruthlessly cut by them.
The silent appearance, the irregular choice of targets, and the lightning-fast flight speed are enough to threaten the powerful destructive power of the fighters, and each of these characteristics has brought great trouble to the shadow chasers.
The desert is their shield, and as long as they are hidden under the sand, the Shadow Chasers can't damage them at all, and the only chance they can do is when they burrow out of the desert and attack.
However, this moment is too short, the whole process is not even a second, and it is too difficult to select the target and launch an effective attack in this second. The line of sight could not capture their speed at all, and even if it did, it was often the enemy back in the sand before they could raise their hands.
With a "whew", Saf slashed into the air with another sword, and even with her speed, she couldn't catch up with the fish in the sand like the wind.
"Don't attack rashly. Shuel, who was beside her, gave her a push, causing her to stagger a few steps, dodging the two undead who rushed out of the ground together.
"And you, Mia. By pushing away the reaction from Saf, Shul retreated and knocked away Mia, who was standing behind, and an undead slashed in front of him, cutting through the robes on his body, but failing to hurt his body.
"You and Miridi should pay attention, the formation can no longer provide effective protection, and the focus is mainly on our own defense, and the attack is left to us. ”
Shul was right, the Shadow Chasers had always thought that the most reliable defensive formation was now completely useless, the enemy could attack anyone from any position and from any angle, but the Shadow Chasers could not stop it, even Mobuck, even the powerful defender who once claimed that as long as he was there, even if the stars in the sky fell, he could not protect his teammates this time, after all, no matter how tight his defense was, he could not stop the attack from the ground.
Fortunately, the shadow chasers are not incompetent people, and they can get to the point where they are today without war damage, and they naturally have their strength.
There is a well-established truth in the small circle of shadow chasers, for shadow chasers, the most valuable treasure is not money and treasures, but a wealth of combat experience, the experience of fighting strange enemies in different worlds. This allows them to know how to face unknown enemies, how to better protect themselves, even if they encounter enemies they have never encountered, they can find a way to restrain the other party in the shortest possible time.
A dagger suddenly reached out from the shadows beside Miriday, slashing at the undead who passed by, and this was the first time that the Shadow Chasers had attacked an enemy since the undead appeared. The sharp dagger cut off the spine of the fish in the sand, and most of the back half of the body was cut off by the dagger, and fell on the sand with a click, leaving the first half of the body to hit the ground, still bouncing, as if trying to drill back into the sand, but unfortunately, it lost the power provided by the lower half of the body, and it could no longer drill back with only half of its body.
That's when the Shadow Chasers really saw the enemy, or rather, a pile of strange-looking fish bones.
The fish bone is not long, from head to tail is only twenty or thirty centimeters, the pointed head drags a long spine, more than twenty bone spurs stretch out from both sides of the spine to form a thoracic cavity, above the spine is a row of the thickest fish bones, the top of the fish bone should have been a fin, but now, it has become a row of sharp bone spurs with sharp fronts and sharp tops, obviously not metal, but the edge is sharp and scary.
As for the lower body that has been cut off, it is half a vertebrae, and the tail at the end of the spine is not vertical like the fish of Pavatiga, but grows horizontally, and the sharp bone spurs similar to the dorsal fin grow on the sides from side to side, and if the tail swings from side to side when flying in the air, this tail fin is a sharp blade with great lethality.
"Idiot. The halfling who had cut off the undead took advantage of the situation and kicked the head of the fish, which was still trying to close the lower half of the body, to the location of the dwarf Mobuck.
"Damn thief, if you dare to call me a fool again, I'll screw your head off. Threatening, but Mobuck knew exactly what he was supposed to do, and the shield stood up in front of him, causing the fish's head to knock it over the shield. At the same time as the impact occurred, the dwarf swung his axe with his backhand, causing the tomahawk to slap flat on the shield, and with a clatter of gold and iron, the fish's head was smashed into pieces, leaving only debris on the ground.
"Well done, first one, a hundred more times, and we'll be able to end the fight. ”
Shure jumped back two lightly, avoiding two fish in succession that had emerged from the sand on the ground, the fish in the sand did move silently, and it was extremely fast and difficult to see, but there was one thing that was most beneficial to the shadow chasers, and that was time.
It was night, and it was pitch black all around, even the sand was black, but the undead ...... but it was white.
It's like fate deliberately left a chance for people, if these undead are also black, then they really can't be found, but fortunately they are white, even if they are fast, they will leave a white shadow in the dark, and they will not turn in the air, as long as the shadow chasers move fast enough, they can avoid their path in time.
Because of this, there was no second casualty in a matter of minutes, and Shul even had time to help his teammates who might be attacked avoid the trap.
However, it is obviously his nonsense to say that he will come more than a hundred times, and it is so difficult to attack effectively, if he really comes a hundred times, it is estimated that the sky will be bright. What's more, even if time allows, physical strength does not allow it, what is needed now is to end the battle as soon as possible, well, the sooner the better.
"Kelly, you get off Moria's back, I carry you, Moria, you carry Mia to avoid the attack, Mia, prepare fire magic, burn the ground for me, I don't believe that they can still exist if the ground is burned solid, even if they can still be alive, they must be able to drill out, now ...... Wait, what is it doing?"
'It' refers to the leader of the white wolf who eats rice, and when everyone is troubled by the fish in the sand, it is the most relaxed one, I don't know if it is more sensitive than Macageren, or relying on the intuition of the beast, it wanders leisurely on the sand, occasionally moving two steps sideways, not even jumping, but every time it can avoid all the undead coming towards it in time.
Shuer was not surprised by this, the beast, in some ways, is stronger than the higher intelligent creatures, there is nothing surprising. What really surprised Shul was its next move.
Just as Shul was about to give the order to burn the ground, he suddenly noticed that the white wolf's reaction was a little strange, its nose was on the ground, sniffing and sniffing like a dog, sniffing and sniffing, and suddenly jumped into the air, and its body turned into a head down, and stuck its head straight into the sand. Only the body was exposed, and the four paws were waving wildly outside.
"Eh, is it performing comedy?" Xiaolu had just been called by Xiu'er to his side, and he saw such a scene, so naturally he would not let go of such a good opportunity, regardless of the tense battle, he naturally teased, "Xiu'er, you taught it?"
"It's not a comedy, it seems that this time it was really saved by saving it, it is more useful than expected. Shul slapped Moria's back in punishment, "Look, it's hunting. ”
Sure enough, after a wave of limbs, the white wolf finally broke free from the shackles of the sand, pulled his head out, and actually held two writhing bones in his big mouth.
"Quack, quack", instinctively avoiding a few places that would hurt him, the white wolf habitually bit the bones, this white wolf of Parvadiga, how to say it, is also a powerful wilderness beast, although he has been eating white rice recently, but his combat power should not be underestimated, and it is still easy to bite a few bronze level undead. Finding them from the ground may be an almost impossible task for the Shadow Chaser, but for a wolf, it has long been a habit to dig bones from the ground every day.
"You're talking about dogs. "The one who screamed for the white wolf was actually Kelly, who had no sense of existence, and the white wolf was marginalized by the shadow chasers for several days, the two outsiders obviously got along well, and when they heard the white wolf being secretly ridiculed by Shuer, Kelly subconsciously protested, but the words came out, and even she was a little surprised.
"Moria, tell it to follow the location of the undead, and point out one if it finds one. Shul didn't bother to explain the difference between a wolf and a dog to Kelly now, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Don't attack it, just tell us where it is, and I'll treat it to a good steak when it's out." ”
"You want me to feed a wolf with such a weak deer. Habitually talking nonsense, Moria did not delay the business at all, and whistled a few times at will, and the white wolf seemed to really understand what she meant, his paws were scraped on the ground for a while, and he wagged his tail excitedly, and began to look for it against the ground, smelling very seriously.
"You see, it's no different from a dog. Picking up the priestess from the undead, Shul exclaimed, "Mobuck, it's time to get to work." ”
"Always on call. ”
"Take your geological shovel, where the greedy wolf points, you shovel it down as soon as possible, raise the sand, throw it in the air, you don't have to worry about it, leave the rest to me, by the way, lend me the shield." ”
"Understood, haha, it's a no-brainer. ”
Indeed, the absolute strength of these undead fish in the sand is not worth mentioning, and their size is small, if they fight head-on, any one of the shadow chasers can destroy a group of them at will.
The key is that their whereabouts are hidden and their attacks are weird, which has caused a lot of trouble for the shadow chasers, and now that there is a way to find them in advance, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.
"Come on. The dwarf shouted, and a shovel of sand was raised, and Bai Sensen's fish bones were thrown into the sky, writhing his body in a final struggle.
Not only its own final struggle, but also the last struggle of this group of undead.
