Chapter 65: The Battle of Stealth
On a hill about twenty miles northwest of Cook Town, Luo Sheng looked at the sun that had gradually set, and frowned slightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to Old Kidd in the morning, it was not convenient for the messenger of the White Tower of the Nine Rings to show up in Cooktown, so Yorosheng met here this afternoon to discuss the matters concerning Wen Reward and Father York's trip to the Isle of Truth. However, it was already close to dusk at this time, and the other party never appeared.
"I'm afraid it's weird!" The short afternoon of waiting did not make Luo Sheng, who had been a killer for many years, feel anxious, but this obviously abnormal situation made Luo Sheng notice a trace of strangeness. Years of experience in walking in the dark made Luo Sheng subconsciously raise his vigilance.
After a while, the sun was slowly obscured by the Dragon's Back Mountains in the west, and the sky slowly darkened. Just when Luo Sheng was thinking about whether it was the messenger of the Nine Rings White Tower who was making trouble, or whether there was something wrong with Old Kidd, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he rushed forward. In the next instant, three fishy-smelling crossbow bolts passed through the phantom that Luo Sheng had left behind, and then nailed them to the pine tree in front of them. In a matter of moments, the pine trees that had been full of life turned yellow, and countless charred pine needles were scattered on the ground.
"Is it a 'withering' toxin that specializes in restraining the forces of nature? This is prepared!" Luo Sheng, who had already turned into a cheetah and entered a stealth state for the first time, looked at the pine trees that had almost instantly withered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
As an alchemist specializing in refining potions and toxins, Luo Sheng knew all kinds of poisons inside out. The three bolts that attacked him were accompanied by a withered toxin designed to restrain the druid's forces of nature. Once this toxin enters the druid's body, it will not only cause highly toxic damage, but also suppress and pollute the natural mana, destroying the druid's mana foundation. What's more, ordinary detoxification techniques are basically ineffective against this toxin, and it is difficult for druids to save themselves.
However, although he was angry in his heart, Luo Sheng's actions were very calm, moving his body gently and slowly in the shadows, changing his position. After being attacked, relying on Luo Sheng's perception, he didn't lock the enemy's position at the first time, and the other party was obviously a profession with stealth ability. In addition to perception and technology, the most important thing in the battle between stealth professions is patience.
Seeing Rasheng disappear into the shadows, Rehm's face in the shadows in the distance became very ugly. Before making the move, Rem never thought that Luo Sheng would be able to avoid the sneak attack of the third-order magic weapon 'Heart-Seeking Crossbow' in his hand, let alone that Luo Sheng's transformation technique was so skillful in cultivation, and before he launched his second attack, he turned into a cheetah and escaped into the shadows.
However, thinking of Neil's distorted face when he was angry, Rem did not follow the rule of ordinary assassins who missed a single blow and traveled thousands of miles, gave up the plan to retreat, remained stealthy, and touched in the direction where Rasheng had just disappeared.
Rason has been living in Cook Castle these days, and the opportunity to come out is very rare. If you miss this time, the other party is on guard, and I'm afraid that there will be no chance to be able to shoot again in the future. And if he returns to the royal capital without accomplishing anything, Rem is afraid that he will have to bear the monstrous wrath of Neil. The pain of being tormented by the magic mark, Rem didn't want to try it once.
And as a silver-tier thief, Rem is extremely confident in his strength. Even if Rasen's Transfiguration Technique is well cultivated, there is still a gap between the druid's stealth ability and professional thieves after transforming into a cheetah. What's more, Luo Sheng is just a black iron level, and the speed of movement will be very slow when sneaking, and if you touch it yourself, you still have a good chance of catching Luo Sheng.
Rason and Rem entered a stealth state at the same time, and the dim mountain returned to calm. If it weren't for the three bolts on the already withered pine, it would be as if nothing had happened here.
But as time passed, Rem's face gradually became gloomy. In the vicinity of the pine trees, Rem did not catch any trace of Rasen. After that, Rem continued to change his position, using several methods of thieves to detect the hidden, but to no avail. At this time, Rem faintly felt that he had underestimated Luo Sheng too much, and after the transformation, he didn't leave any traces to trace. Based on this, the other party's stealth ability is probably no worse than that of a silver-level thief.
"I'm afraid I've really encountered a hard stubble this time!" Although he was also imagining in his heart that Luo Sheng had sneaked away directly, his intuition after years of assassination told Rem that Luo Sheng did not retreat, but hid nearby, preparing to catch himself and sneak attack him. This information shows that only the Black Iron Rank enemy is not afraid of himself, a Silver Rank thief, but wants to deal with himself here.
And Rason did not live up to Rem's 'expectations', just when Rem faintly regretted taking on Neil's mission, a black leopard claw stretched out from the shadows and silently grabbed Rem's back - the wild druid control skill 'oblique sweep' shot!
Before the claw was on the way, Rem found the sneak attack by relying on the perception of close to twenty-five points, but the speed of the leopard claw was so fast that Rem only had time to twist his body slightly to avoid the vital point of his lower back, and was caught by this blow.
Although Rem has the protection of leather armor and fighting energy, after transforming and blessing a series of buffs such as Wild Blessing and Cat Elegance, Rasen's agility and strength are enough to suppress Rem, plus the magic tooth technique that improves the ability to break demons and defenses, the leopard claw easily tore through Rem's defense, injecting the natural power of simulated shadow fighting qi into Rem's body. In an instant, a strong sense of vertigo hit Rem's brain, hindering Rem's further action.
"Damn! He took the lead! How could his attack be so strong!" Rem was shocked at the moment when his defense was torn apart, and the thought of escaping flashed through his mind.
Although it is more embarrassing to be caught by Luo Sheng first, Rem is not unacceptable, Luo Sheng is a druid after all, and his main attribute is perception, if there is a secret method to strengthen his stealth ability, it is possible to avoid his own search and catch himself in the shadows first.
However, Rem was not too afraid of this. Because even if Luo Sheng's stealth ability is strong, he is only a druid of the black iron level, and his physical attributes are limited, even if he has the blessing of spells, his attack power will not reach the silver level. As a silver-level thief, although he is not good at defense, he can still resist the opponent's attack by relying on the fighting spirit of the silver level, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.
But the truth was not the same as Rem expected, and he thought that he could resist Luo Sheng's attack, but he was easily torn apart by Luo Sheng. The power of nature injected into the body has a direct impact on one's brain. This means that Luo Sheng's attack ability has completely reached the level of the silver rank. If I am arrogant again, I am afraid that I will die here in a second or two.
Despite the threat of death, Rem still showed the professionalism of a Silver Rank Thief. Without waiting for himself to be really unconscious by Luo Sheng's attack, he activated the royal insignia on his chest. After the faint light shone, Rem had already dispelled the force of nature in his body and regained his freedom.
At the same time, Rem slammed his left hand back, and a large handful of blinding powder was scattered under the blessing of the shadow fighting energy. As he turned, the dagger in his right hand stabbed at the place where the leopard's claws had struck.
"Directly handed over the first card, it's really decisive!
Although Rem's reaction was decisive, it did not have the desired effect. Luo Sheng, who was very familiar with the thief's combat routine, did not stay in place after the first blow and prepared to continue to output, but lowered his head and changed his position at the same time, avoiding the counterattack of the blinding powder and the dagger, and after evaluating Rem's reaction in his heart, he grabbed Rem's thigh with a claw, used his laceration skill, and tore out a bloody wound.
"Sword Blade Flurry!" The counterattack all failed, but he was scratched again, Rem's heart sank, and he directly launched a high-level skill that can only be cultivated by silver-level thieves. The daggers in both hands flew up and down, protecting Rem's vital points, and at the same time, shadow fighting qi gushed out from the dagger, forming a dense blade of fighting qi, flying indiscriminately in all directions around.
Since they are already obviously inferior to the other party in terms of technology, then directly rely on the superiority of the silver-level fighting strength to suppress the enemy! No matter how strong Luo Sheng is, he must not have reached the silver-level, and it is impossible to have the defense of the silver-level. As long as one or two of these Fighting Qi blades hit Luo Sheng, they could severely damage the opponent and turn the tide of the battle.
What shocked Rem was that at the moment when his skill was activated, Luo Sheng actually jumped back violently, jumped five meters away, and broke away from contact with himself. And although the skill of Sword Flurry is powerful, the fighting spirit of the silver-level thief is limited after all. In order to increase the number of Fighting Blades, the range of the Fighting Blades must be sacrificed, so the damage range of this skill is only about four meters. Five meters away, these Fighting Qi blades had already dissipated on their own.
The method of pressing the bottom of the box actually failed in an instant, and a trace of panic finally flashed in Rem's eyes. At the same time as he threw the dagger in his left hand at Luo Sheng, Rem's body suddenly turned black, and the shadow cloak was activated, clearing the spirit fire that Luo Sheng had just applied to his body and suppressing the injury in his leg. Then the whole person disappeared into the shadows.
A series of defeats had already made Rem lose the confidence to continue fighting, so he did not hesitate to escape.
"Do you still want to leave at this time?" dodging the dagger thrown by Rehm, a sneer appeared at the corner of Rasen's mouth. Then he twitched his nose and instantly transformed into a giant bear and launched a charge.
Rem, who had already launched a sprint in the sneak, didn't expect that Luo Sheng could directly lock his position, and when he reacted, he had been hit hard by the giant bear that Luo Sheng had turned into, and his brain fell into a drowsy again.
However, at this time, Rem no longer had the hole cards to release control, so he could only rely on his willpower and barely raise his arms to resist. But at this time, a loud roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and Rem could no longer withstand the spiritual impact of the 'Soul Snatching Roar' and fell into a coma.
At this time, the bear's paw under the blessing of 'brute force slamming' slapped down and hit Rem's head hard, turning the head into a rotten watermelon.
After solving the enemy, Luo Sheng did not return to his human form, but turned slightly and said coldly to the empty woods in front of him: "This master, the play has been watched, can you come out and talk?"
