Chapter Seventy-One: The Chaser
"Damn! let them run again!" said Morgol, looking at the empty cave, and slammed the stone wall next to it, hatefully. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As the second son of the patriarch of the Ice Wind Clan, the captain of the hunting team, and the person in charge of this autumn 'Grass Valley' operation, after Luo Sheng and them intercepted and killed several elite squads of the tribe, Mogol targeted them and organized a powerful team to hunt them down. But after several days of chasing, the Mogol never managed to catch this arrogant Terran scout team. This time, I thought I had caught the enemy's tracks, but in the end, Luo Sheng and them were one step ahead of them and escaped.
"Don't worry, they shouldn't have gone far. Jerome stepped forward, looked at the steaming stew in the half-diagonal pot, and said calmly, "It should be the team that can hide its own smell." Except for them, no human scout dared to eat such a thing in the wild. ”
As the shaman of the clan, Jerome was obviously much calmer and more observant than the warrior leader of the Mogols.
"I still have time to cook here!" Mogol looked at the steaming soup pot on the ground and kicked it angrily. Under his own pursuit, the enemy still has the leisure to cook and rest, which in itself is the biggest insult to his tracking team, which includes two silvers and six bronze.
However, before Mogol's kick hit the soup pot, Jerome grabbed him. Then, under the watchful eye of Mogol, Jerome took a large shield from the hands of the warriors behind him and blocked it in front of him, and only then overturned the soup pot with his spear.
And at the moment when the soup pot was overturned, a pitch-black crossbow arrow flew out from under the soup pot and shot towards Jerome. However, it was directly blocked by the large shield and did not cause any damage.
"Damn the scumbag!" Mogol scolded, as he scolded, as he saw the pitch-black crossbow bolts shot into his shield. If you kick it, this crossbow arrow will definitely shoot at you. Looking at the strength and color of this arrow, even if he has a silver-level fighting qi to protect his body, and he has Jerome, a silver-level shaman, by his side, he will definitely suffer a big hardship.
"It's a very delicate spell trap, and the toxins on the crossbow arrows are the same as the ones we collected before. This toxin not only attacks extremely quickly, but is also extremely toxic, and even with the antidote technique and the Silver Rank Dou Qi, it cannot be completely expelled. It seems that Diderot died without complaining. While Mogol was angry, Jerome was studying the mechanism for firing the bolts and the toxins on the bolts, analyzing the strength of the enemy.
The mechanism for firing crossbow arrows is not complicated, but it uses the zero-level trick 'Sling' to increase the firing power of crossbow arrows at short distances. Although it can't be far, the power at close range is considerable.
However, compared to spell traps that can only be used for secret calculations and are not very useful in head-on combat, the Morgol pays more attention to the toxins on the crossbow arrows. This alchemy toxin is very powerful, and it is extremely lethal even against the silver rank. And because the toxin composition is complex and the ratio is quite exquisite, it has a certain resistance to detoxification and fighting spirit, and only general detoxification can only suppress the effect of toxins, and it is difficult to completely detoxify. In the heat of battle, being plotted by this poison, the balance of victory and defeat is easily reversed.
"Did they kill Diderot?" and what do we do next?" After calming down a little, Mogol glanced at the pitch-black crossbow bolt and turned to Jerome and asked. After experiencing a crisis, Mogol also realized the difficulty of the enemy, and although he did not want Jerome to gain more prestige, in this situation, Mogol could not bypass the disciple of the clan's great shaman.
"Of course, they chased after us and killed so many of us, how could they let them return to Xuelong Pass alive. Seeing that Mogol was soft, Jerome felt a sense of pride in his heart, and then said confidently.
"Rest assured, everybody. Although the enemy is cunning and tries to destroy the battlefield as much as possible after each battle, I have basically figured out their situation by now. Seeing everyone's hesitant gazes, Jerome patiently explained: "The other party does not have a silver-level master, only a bronze peak warrior, a thief, and a ranger with a bronze peak-level Warcraft pet. They were able to kill Diderot only by conspiracy and poison. We are far superior to them, and if we find them, they will be finished. ”
"But this poison?" asked a soldier behind him, a little hesitantly.
Compared to the elite warriors of the Elson Kingdom, the barbarian tribal warriors are much more rudimentary. Even the bronze guards who followed the actions of the two silver-rank leaders were only leather armor protection. When fighting, injuries are almost inevitable. And the enemy has such a powerful poison, which will undoubtedly make the soldiers have a lot of worries.
"Don't worry, I've collected samples of this toxin before, and I'm ready to deal with it. If you drink one sip of this, even if you are poisoned, you will not have a seizure in a short time. I'll help you heal after the battle is over. Jerome took out a skin bladder filled with black potion from his storage bag and handed it to Mogol.
As a disciple of the clan's great shaman, Jerome's abilities are also quite comprehensive. Not only is his spell practice quite good, but he also dabbles in herbology, alchemy and some witch doctors' healing skills. After collecting samples of the toxin used by the enemy, Jerome roughly analyzed how the toxin worked, and based on this, he temporarily prepared some potions using the witch doctor's method.
Of course, this temporary configuration of the potion could not really remove the toxin refined by Luo Sheng, but it could temporarily suppress the outbreak of this toxin, so that the toxin would not affect the battle. And when the enemy is solved, you can naturally find the antidote, or find other ways to treat it.
"Gnar, telepress the other teams, and continue with the tracking technique. They can erase the smell, but they can't completely erase the traces of movement. We keep chasing. After everyone had drunk the potion, Jerome commanded the hunters beside him.
Among the barbarians, the number of rangers is relatively small, but the hunter profession is quite large. The Hunter class is somewhat similar to a blend of Ranger and Beast Tamer. That is, it has the ranger's long-range shooting ability, and it also has the tamer's ability to tame magical beasts, and it can also set traps, which is quite versatile. And in terms of tracking, it also has its own uniqueness, and it is an indispensable profession in the barbarian army.
"This way they're going!" the hunter named by Jerome launched a tracking spell after releasing a swift eagle. With the blessing of the fighting spirit, some traces of nothingness clearly appeared in Gna's eyes. After removing some traces of the forgery of the old suspicious array, Gnar pointed to the southwest and said.
"Let's chase!" Mogol and Jerome looked at each other and took the lead in chasing forward. As a warrior of the Silver Rank, the Mogol has the most powerful defense of the all. Even if the enemy has some ambush traps, Mogol can resist with his strong fighting spirit and super physique.
And Jerome did not hesitate and followed directly. Except for Gnar, who was roaming around the group and was in charge of keeping watch, everyone else chased around Jerome. Guarding the caster is the basic common sense of the professional team, and this principle will not change even if it is pursued.
Although the mountain trail is rough and difficult, it is not a big problem for professionals. In particular, the Mogol pursuit team is the elite of the Icewind Clan, and they have long been accustomed to this difficult path.
In fact, even Jerome, the spellcaster, is not slow to travel on this path. After all, shamans are not like professional spellcasters such as mages, warlocks, and witch doctors, and basically rely on spells to fight. The shaman among the barbarians often has to pick up a hammer and fight the enemy hand-to-hand. Even if his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of a warrior of the same rank, Jerome's attributes are no worse than that of ordinary bronze warriors. Keeping up with the speed of the team is not a problem at all.
As the procession moved rapidly, the traces left on the road became more and more visible. Even without the use of Gnar to use tracking techniques, Mogol and the others were able to determine the whereabouts of the enemy. And this situation means that you have caught up with the enemy's tail, so that the enemy has no time to hide his tracks.
Realizing this, Mogol had an excited look on his face, and his speed suddenly increased, and the others followed suit. Although Jerome was a little skeptical, he followed after blessing himself with the defensive spell of the 'Earth Shield'. The enemy should already be in front, even if there is an ambush, relying on the strong strength of his own team, he can eat hard. At this time, there is no need to have so many scruples.
But just as the pursuer's team was out of touch and left Jerome behind, three long arrows with green light and six turquoise crossbow arrows flew out from the front and left respectively, shooting at the tracker's team like lightning.
These attacks avoided the strongest Mogol, and all of them targeted the bronze ranks in the ranks. Despite their precautions, three fighters did not escape the attack and were shot to the ground. Only the agile Gnar and the two shield-wielding Guardians escaped.
And at the moment when the attacker appeared, Mogol also locked on the enemy's tracks. With a loud roar, he launched a battle roar to stimulate his fighting spirit, and then rushed towards Buck, who had just fired three shots. In Jerome's analysis, Buck, a ranger, is undoubtedly the most threatening, and his arrows, poisons, and pets are all amazingly lethal, so Jerome is the first to find him.
But as soon as Mogol's charge was launched, a fiery red figure rushed over like lightning, intercepting Mogol in place. Then the spear, wrapped in fiery red fighting spirit, stabbed heavily into Mogol's great axe.
"Is the Cook family's Red Flame Fighting Spirit? It's really a big fish!" Although she was caught off guard by Alyssa, after seeing Alyssa wearing the Cook family's iconic equipment, a cruel smile appeared on Morgol's face. Baron Cook is the enemy of the entire Northland barbarians, and if he can kill the people of the Cook family, it will be a merit and glory for the entire Icewind Clan.
But just when Mogol was full of confidence and wanted to kill Elisa and gain his own merits, he suddenly heard the angry cry of Jerome in the rear: "This is impossible! How can my potion not work?"
"Stupid, who told you we only have one poison in our hands!"
