Chapter 156: Distance
Such agile footwork, such a wonderful figure, suddenly dazzled everyone's eyes. Even if he was still scolding and scolding with contempt and ridicule in the last second, at this time, he subconsciously burst into a burst of applause!
And that's just the beginning.
After breaking free from the demon's encirclement, Roy used Izumo's arrow, and his figure flashed, and he had already distanced himself from the demon.
Later, the young archer was seen turning to face the pursuing demon, kicking his feet, and his body flew backwards as the long bowstring in his hand was like a thunderbolt, and the arrows were like beads.
Whoosh ...... One after another, the white feathered arrows pulled out a sharp roar in the air, and went straight to the two fire rock demons who rushed to the front.
The roaring and running fire demons seemed to be enraged by the prey that had slipped away from their mouths, and they used their limbs together to chase Roy at high speed like a rampaging rhinoceros. The huge body burned with flames, and with every step, the earth trembled.
In front of them, the feathered arrows that flew from them were as small as flies. With just a few flicks, they cleared most of the feathered arrows.
This is not unexpected.
After all, Leo is only a glorious one-star knight, and the strength of the fifth-level fire rock demon is about the same as that of a human five-star fair knight. It can even reach the level of -▼ to the peak of the glory one-star knight.
Moreover, the Abyss Demon has a natural advantage in physique compared to humans. Not only is the body stronger, but it is also harder and stronger, and it is faster. Against them, the knight's spear and sword and the magician's magic were quite effective, and the attack power of the bow and arrow was far behind.
The distance is a little farther, and the arrows after the attenuation of the fighting spirit can't even break the defense.
Just when everyone thought that Roy's arrows were in vain, suddenly, a sharp-eyed person found several black feathered arrows hidden among the white feathered arrows. Just like a poisonous snake, it flicked its tail silently, changed direction, and sank into the lower abdomen of the two fire rock demons.
The roaring and running Fire Rock Demon's body suddenly turned red. Thousands of sparks peel off their bodies and drift away as they run. Only seven or eight steps were rushed. The two Fire Rock Demons turned into two bursting sparks and completely dissipated into the air.
On the ground, only two black bands of Martian mud remained.
After shooting the two Fire Rock Demons, Roy continued to retreat with the same posture, the same speed and rhythm, and shot arrows at the pursuing demons with the longbow in his hand.
A few seconds later, two more demons burst into sparks under Roy's name-calling attack.
And this time. Everyone found that dozens of meters away, the Ice Star team didn't know when they had set up a diamond-shaped defensive array.
The three knights protrude in a triangular shape at the front, forming a solid wall. Behind them, the two French professions began to chant under the protection of the barbarian female warrior and the double-knife ranger.
In the blink of an eye, Roy had retreated in front of his own battle formation.
When he was like a nimble swallow, flying into the formation in the air. The three knights, Rondero, Lake, and Larry, had already rushed out from under him. Met the demons that pounced.
A well-prepared elite team can deal with four or five fifth-level demons, and there is no need for people to guess anymore.
In less than ten seconds, the Ice Star squad had already finished the battle.
"Let's go. ”
Clearing the area of demons, Roy led the way and headed deeper into the stone forest. Everyone in the Ice Star Squad followed closely.
Merely. When returning the sword into the sheath, the eyes of Longelo and the others glanced at the five mercenary squads, intentionally or unintentionally.
The crowd fell silent.
It wasn't until the figure of the Ice Star Team disappeared behind a huge stone pillar that it exploded with a bang.
Killing ** only level 5 demons does not surprise everyone. Such a combat intensity. It's not even a warm-up, you can just pull two people out and finish it.
What shocked them was Roy's skill and quality in this battle!
His seemingly chaotic route is actually precise and ingenious, and it just lures out all the demons in the way that must be passed. The subsequent kills showed his nimble footwork, exquisite archery skills, and tacit cooperation with his companions. Every action is clean and without the slightest redundancy.
Whether you are an expert or not, you will know as soon as you stretch out your hand.
Just this short one or two minutes, but it can be called a textbook-like performance, is enough to make a group of people who ridiculed others as rookies before.
In embarrassment, everyone's eyes were focused on Hoover.
The voice of this senior mercenary of the mission hall scolding Leo angrily is still in his ears, but at this moment, his face is only blue and white, and it is difficult to see the extreme!
At this time, Black Feather and Ziggy finally finished their reconnaissance and walked out of the forest.
As soon as they returned to the group, the two scouts noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. But the business was important, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and reported the situation of their investigation to several captains at the moment.
"You can't go in the left area. As soon as he spoke, Zig said bluntly, "The environment here is very complicated, and there are many abyss demons, so it's too dangerous. The right area is a little better, there are no more than thirty Abyssal Demons along the way. We've all made a note of the approximate location, so it should be fine. ”
Black Feather nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with Ziggy.
Olivia and the others glanced at each other, and there was a strange expression on their faces.
Originally, they all thought that they must be in front of the Ice Star Squad, but they didn't expect that the Ice Star Squads had already left, and their two scouts had to complete the reconnaissance work.
Moreover, your team's right zone overlaps with the left zone of the Ice Star team. This also means that the route chosen by the two scouts, Ziggy and Black Feather, was abandoned by Leo.
That's fine, after all, choosing a route is sometimes a matter of luck. Leo chose to abandon this side because their right zone is safer and more convenient, which does not mean that he cannot walk. What's more, there are many more of them on their side.
However, the question now is, since the Ice Star team has opened up a ready-made channel, do they have to open up another way out of the ready-made way?
Isn't that redundant?
But if you follow the Ice Star team, not only will the hard work of Qi Ge and Black Ling be in vain, but also ...... I thought of what I said when the Ice Star team left. Everyone's face just felt that the fire was burning. At this time, where can I put my face?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little wrong, Zige and Hei Ling couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a low voice to their acquaintances.
Just as his companion told the two of them about the Ice Star Squad, Hoover had already snorted and led his team forward with a cold face.
"Let's go. Hoover said as he walked, "It's just a round of scouting." It is not known how far it is from here to the center of the basin. Just because he did it this time doesn't mean it's beautiful every time. Besides, if you have good archery skills, you can kill everyone if you break into a place where you shouldn't break in......"
The mercenaries couldn't help but frown.
Hoover's words are somewhat forceful. People don't show their strength, and you dislike other people's low strength. Now others are showing their strength. It's inexperienced. This is not the work of an upright mercenary man.
But......
The captains exchanged glances, shook their heads, and led their teammates to follow Hoover.
The Dark Basin is an open area with extensive access. As long as the direction is good, it doesn't matter which way you go, you don't necessarily have to follow the Ice Star team to pick up this bargain. It's better to bother than to have infighting.
Half a prayer hour later.
When the continuous demonic roar died down, Olivia and the others finally broke through the area.
However, everyone's faces are not very good-looking. In particular, the two scouts, Ziggy and Black Feather, were even more red-faced. Look back. The black mud on the ground and the silent and tired expressions of their companions made them unable to believe it. I actually made such a low-level mistake.
At first, the march was fairly smooth. Seven or eight abyssal demons who were alarmed along the way didn't make much effort for them.
But the further you go, the more wrong things become.
First, several places where demons should not have appeared were attacked. Then, like dominoes that have been toppled. More and more Abyssal Demons were alarmed. In the end, the total number of abyssal demons they dealt with exceeded eighty!
Because they were all fifth-level abyss demons, and they came in batches, the team didn't face any mortal danger. But. Eighty demons was ridiculously poor compared to the less than thirty demons in the mouths of the two scouts.
After passing this area, everyone was standing on a small hill with a wide view. Looking down, the Ice Star Squad had already thrown themselves away.
...............
...............
At the same time, two kilometers away, at the entrance to the Dark Basin, nine men in black walked out along the cliff crevice.
"This is the Dark Basin. The short, tattooed, lizard-like man said to the thin man in the lead.
The thin man nodded and walked to the side of the hill. Eight other people, lined up behind him, stared at the vast basin plains and the underground mountains in the distance.
Nine black figures, looking from a distance, look like nine Grim Reapers.
Unexpectedly, in a hurry, he still let him enter the dark basin. The thin man said with a frown. The sound was as piercing as the cry of a night owl.
"Lord Salters, what about us," the short man asked, spinning the dagger in his hand.
"What else is there to say?" said a strong man with a long scar on his face next to him, "Not to mention the Dark Basin, even if he hid in the fifth layer of the abyss, he would have to die at the hands of our dark executioners!"
This strong man has a hideous face, pale skin, and looks extremely bewildering.
"Nonsense, did I say I won't kill him?" the short man said, glancing at the strong man, "but if I had to say, I'd rather be on the fifth layer of the abyss." ”
The strong man's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. There was silence for a while.
"I wouldn't want to come to the Dark Basin unless it was necessary," Saltes began, "The poisonous lizard is right, this place is indeed more dangerous than the fifth layer. However, Scar is right, since he has been named, this kid must die at our hands......"
He turned his head, and a strange smile appeared on his skeleton-like face: "Speaking of which, we are also at the right time. I've heard that ancient ruins have been discovered in the Abyss, and we happen to have taken on this task. In that case, we might as well be patient. If people want to kill, they will take treasure!"
As he spoke, Saltes' thin fingers flipped and he had conjured a white bony wand. A cloud of black smoke billowed from under his cloak, and a moment later, five skeleton archers had appeared beside him.
"Let's go!"
Saltes descended the hill first. The other eight followed.
With the departure of the nine men in black, the hillside became empty.
However, no one knew that in the next less than half a prayer hour, two more teams passed through here and entered the Dark Basin. One of them is a team led by Scarlett. The other was led by the mysterious woman in the carriage.
What no one knew was that although the three teams had all come out of the same cliff crevice and had left the same hillside, they had not entered the stone forest when they walked down the hillside.
In fact, after Olivia and the others entered the stone forest, the scene had changed silently.
In front of the dark executioners was a plain. What appeared in front of Scarlett was a dense forest of hills, and what appeared in front of the mysterious woman was a small river.
The hillside is still the same hillside, but the scene under the hillside is changing like a marquee. The people who walked into it disappeared without a trace as if they had been swallowed by a demon with a changing face...... (To be continued......) I752
