Chapter 139: The Mill

This is...... Roy looked at the place in surprise.

"This is the point where this annoying stuff is cleaned up," Lake explained with a smile knowing that Roy was here for the first time, "and we're called the Mill." ”

"Mill?" Roy winked.

"Yes. "Along the way, there will be more and more of these demons. If they continue like this, when they gather in the thousands, even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary will be overwhelmed. So, every time we walk, we have to clean it up. ”

"It's like a millstone, we can only move forward after grinding this into powder. "That's why we call these nodes mills." Like an oasis in the desert, this is a place that our predecessors have spent countless efforts to find. ”

He pointed to the cliff and said, "You see, the cliff is protruding from the top and concave below, which is a natural barrier. See that platform up there?"

Roy nodded.

The platform in Lake's mouth is actually just a small protrusion on the cliff wall about twenty meters from the top, which can stand on people.

"That's where you and Tu Su are. If flying demons want to attack the people under the cliff, they must come from the front, and if you hold there, you can force them back. ”

As he spoke, Lake's finger moved downward, pointing to a spot ten meters above the ground. It was the top of a boulder under the cliff.

"Ave and Racios are there, and all they have to do is keep attacking. As he spoke, Lake drew his long sword, took off a heavy iron shield, and said with a smile, "As for us and the captain, we will guard down below and block the demons for them." ”

Put it this way. Roy suddenly understood. I can't help but feel admiration for the people who discovered this place and came up with this solution.

Relying on a mountain cliff, a three-dimensional attack position is formed.

Not to mention that there are only about a thousand low-level demons around now, even if there are twice as many, they can be easily slaughtered. Of course, any more may be a bit difficult, after all, the human body is limited. No matter how weak these demons are. Waves of surging over can also tear this team apart.

Opening the map, Roy found that there were several similar places on the map. It is these [mills] that form a path that extends into the depths of the abyss.

As they spoke, the team had come to the bottom of the cliff. Behind him, hundreds of demons poured out of the jungle and were exposed to everyone. One by one, baring its claws and fangs, roared and ran. The black qi on his body surged, and the fiery red lava under his feet was continuous, ready to move.

"Quick!" Rondello yelled, leading Lake and Larry side by side to the bottom of the cliff. The others hurried to their places.

When he saw Roy and Tu Su ascend to the highest place, Rondello's figure flashed, and he had already swam to the front of the demon group with stealth techniques. I saw two bright lights flashing, and the two first-level little demons were suddenly in different places.

As the little devil's head flew into the sky, black blood spurted out like oil. The body turned into burning magma, and suddenly turned red. Immediately it fell apart and fell apart, scattering into a cloud of black and reddish stones.

Such a close-range attack is like a spark falling into a powder keg. The demons, who were already ready to move, chased Franco towards the cliff like the waves of the sea.

Boom! as Franco flashed past the line. Behind him, the three knights of Rondero, Ryker and Larry, already holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, slammed into the oncoming demon tide.

There was a loud bang. The dozen or so demons in front of them were directly knocked out of the air.

The sword fell, and the severed arm rose into the sky.

At this time, Afu and Racios, who were located on the boulder, had already completed the preparation for casting the spell.

Afu cast a Category 8 Frost and Snow Hurricane. For a moment, I saw hexagonal crystal snowflakes suddenly appear in the sky. The snowflakes flipped and flipped in a cold light, like sharp blades, converging into a white whirlwind that swept through the demon tide.

Everywhere the hurricane passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Some demons were swept up and tossed, others wrenched to pieces. The black pressed demon group suddenly appeared in a blank space.

Racios, on the other hand, emitted three winding rays of lightning through the gem in his hand.

This lightning light was like three spirit snakes, scurrying through the demon group, and each time it touched a demon, it would change direction and shoot at the nearest demon. And once struck by the lightning, these demons were scorched black, their bodies cracking open burning cracks, howling and tearing apart.

In terms of slaughter efficiency, the dwarf warlock was not much inferior to Aph.

There aren't many types of demons in the Silent Jungle, most of them are small demons and claw demons that are suitable for living here, and the higher ones are swamp mud demons and a small number of winged demons and shadow demons.

The little demon is the lowest demon in the abyss, less than 1.5 meters tall, and when he runs, he falls on all fours, and when he fights, he likes to stand up and bite with his claws and fangs.

Although their combat effectiveness is poor, they are numerous, and they are one of the most common demons in the abyss.

The Claw Demon is a demon that is nearly two meters tall and has excellent bouncing abilities. They resemble praying mantises, thin and sturdy, covered in thin scales. Although they are also first-level demons, their front claws are long and sharp, and their combat power is much higher than that of small demons.

The Swamp Mud Demon is a demon with a strong body covered in black dirt. This demon has high defense and relatively large strength, but it moves relatively slowly. The octopus-like lower limbs are far more threatening in the swamp than in the flats.

Such a low-level demon naturally could not pose any threat to the mercenary team that had the advantage of terrain.

In fact, from Roy's point of view, without the large-scale spell strangulation of Lacios and Aph, just three knights such as Longdero were enough to smash the demon tide that pounced on them.

The battle is carried out in an orderly manner.

Compared with the fierce battle below, Roy and Tu Su, who were standing on the top of the cliff, seemed much more relaxed.

There weren't many Winged Demons and Shadow Demons in the Silent Jungle, and there were only twenty or thirty in total. Moreover, compared to the little demons and the claw demons, these flying demons are much higher in terms of strength and intelligence. When the battle began below, they did not choose to strike at the first opportunity. Instead, it hovers in the sky, constantly changing directions. Looking for the right angle and timing.

The first wave of demons was repulsed, and the demons in the sky were circling. The second wave of demons was repulsed, and the demons in the sky were still circling.

And just when the demons on the ground surged up again, suddenly, two winged demons were on the left and on the right. Pounced straight down. And in the middle of them, there is also a Shadow Fiend.

The three demons had been coveting the warlocks and mages on the rocks below for a long time, and after seeing that after a round of spells, the warlocks and mages were in the stage of chanting and preparation, and suddenly swooped down from the sky, their bodies falling at high speed pulling out a piercing scream in the air.

These three demons were extremely fast, and if left unchecked, it only took a few seconds for them to tear two weak French combat professionals to shreds.

The demon that pounced. Let everyone below can't help but raise their heads.

Even knowing that Leo and Tu Su were protecting them above, the expressions of Lacios and Afu became nervous with the hideous faces of the rapidly growing demons.

Tu Su held an iron-tired hard bow in his hand, and the slender feathered arrow was already clasped between his fingers.

As a barbarian, Tu Su naturally knows archery. However, her main weapon is a spear, and she is better at charging into battle, and her archery skills are only slightly better than the rest of the team. Stand on this cliff. She doesn't even play a tenth of what she does on the ground.

But. Tu Su knew that Captain Roundero's arrangement was also a stable choice. The two French combat professionals are the guarantee and core of the squad's attack power. Losing any of them would reduce the squad's combat effectiveness by half. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure their safety.

And such a heavy responsibility naturally cannot all be pressed on the shoulders of a new member. Even if Leo was eye-catching and impressive when he dealt with the unicorn python before. But that relied more on his mysterious potion and knowledge of the unicorn python.

But such an experience cannot be used in the abyss.

Therefore, Tu Su must act as the last line of defense, preventing this new member from accidentally making a mistake and leading to a disaster that endangers the entire team.

Seeing the three demons flying down, Tu Su's nerves suddenly tensed. And just when she was ready to make a move. Suddenly, she heard Leo's voice in her ears.

"Leave it to me. ”

Before he finished speaking, Tu Su saw three feather arrows shoot out from the side of himself, shooting at the three demons respectively.

Tu Sulaxian's hand couldn't help but slacken. And it was just like that, she found that she no longer had a chance to make a move.

Whoosh, swish, a series of breaking sounds in the air.

Roy's hands were like electricity, and the bow of judgment in his hand was danced into a dazzling phantom. With the rapid vibration of the bowstring, feathered arrows flew out like beads. An arrow in front of it was still in the air, and it was already coming one after another.

In the end, everyone only felt that their eyes were running out.

The endless arrows formed three rains of arrows in the air, forming three waterfalls in the air. One after the other, even the arrows shot from behind caught up with the arrows shot in front, and they went hand in hand.

Puff puff, with three muffled sounds. The first three feather arrows pierced the bodies of the three demons with great precision. The huge impact of the arrows not only opened a bloody hole in their bodies, but also caused their swooping bodies to swerve backwards.

Suddenly, the three demons howled in unison.

The wings of the winged demons on both sides waved, and their bodies took the tips of the wings as the axis, and they turned in a circle violently. It looks like it's moving sideways. The shadow demon in the middle disappeared abruptly, leaving only a few swirling black smokes. They each have their own abilities in order to dodge the rain of arrows from behind.

However, the three demons clearly miscalculated.

As early as his previous observations, Roy had already mastered the movement characteristics and fighting styles of these demons. When the shot was made, their reactions were already counted.

Coupled with Roy's archery, which already has the ability to change trajectory with wind elemental magic, these demons will fall into his trap whether they move or not.

I saw the flying arrows piercing through the air, and a series of muffled sounds popped. The two winged demons were shot like swings, and they trembled in the air.

And the Shadow Demon who shrunk and hid in the black smoke was no exception, and was directly knocked out by feathered arrows like eyes, and was shot with thousands of holes.

Bang! The three demons exploded in the air at the same time, like bursting fireworks, turning into thousands of burning meteor fires and falling to the ground.

This scene made everyone dizzy.

Because of the previous unicorn python battle, everyone's opinion of Roy has changed greatly. At this moment, seeing that his swordsmanship is like a god, he can't help but cheer loudly
