Chapter 175: Dark Mist
A "ah~" Morton, a two-handed swordsman who was attacking the gnolls, suddenly let out a miserable scream, and a sharp pain came from the back of his waist.
'Kidney Strike', a pair of black sharp daggers stab the internal organs, this is a typical killing move of advanced thieves, and it only takes one stroke to inflict painful and fatal injuries.
"Damn, it's the shadow thief, the sinister fellow......"
With the last of his strength, Morton let out a roar of rage, while the two-handed broadsword in his hand swung backwards.
But when he turned around and missed, he found that the shadow thief behind him had withdrawn, just looked at him with disdain, and then looked away.
This two-handed swordsman with a blood spear fell to the ground with serious injuries and weakness, and then was bitten off his neck by the gnoll barbarian soldier he suppressed before, and died in pain.
'Whoosh' a black light pierced the air, and it was a powerful crossbow shot from a half-elf. The Shadow Thief turned his body sideways, and in one fell swoop he dodged the swift attack of the arrows.
'Intuitive Avoidance' exclusive skill, the half-elf with a crossbow couldn't help but frown.
According to his rough understanding, this should be an exclusive skill that can only be mastered by an advanced professional with outstanding agility, which is much more difficult to master than ordinary 'combat intuition', and talent and hard training are indispensable.
Quiller eliminated the gnolls in front of him, and found that the other Bloodspear companions had fallen in a pool of blood, and that they had been plotted by the Shadow Thieves.
He roared and raised his one-handed axe again, "Why, damned thief, why would you hurt my companion?"
Malthus sneered, "Because you are weak, weak and greedy fellows, you adventurers are only worthy of being cannon fodder." ”
A 'buzz' burst of crossbow strings shuddered, and the bolt slashed swiftly towards the thief's upper torso.
The position of the chest and abdomen is even more difficult to dodge, and even if the opponent is wearing armor, with the power of the steel crossbow, I believe that it can pierce the thief's leather armor with one blow, so as not to make this guy so arrogant.
The shadow thief slammed to the side, and with a pair of black iron daggers in his hand, he blocked slightly.
A soft sound, accurate and fast weapon block, causing the crossbow bolt to change the direction of its flight a little, and it seems that long-range attacks alone cannot deal effective damage to the Shadow Thief.
Quiller is worthy of the strength of a level 5 warrior, and his reaction is by no means slow.
Although he was not lightly injured, he also rushed quickly with his weapon to the crossbow arrow attack of the half-elf in the distance.
This thief has the strength of a first-order professional, and Quiller alone is by no means his opponent, and only by cooperating with the half-elf practice can he have any hope of escaping by injuring the shadow thief.
In the face of the warrior's one-handed axe attack, the Shadow Thief did not use the stealth ability that he excelled at.
He dodged with just one footstep, and then with a sharp black dagger, he added a piece of bleeding damage to the warrior's body.
Malthus said disdainfully, "Stupid adventurer, thank you for helping me clear out some gnolls, you can only be of such use." ”
Covering his bloody wounds, Quiller said angrily: "Guy who deserves to go to hell, greedy and insidious thief, murdering his teammates for money......"
"A weak adventurer who only knows money, what kind of teammate is he?"
The Shadow Thief sneered, and rushed over to quickly attack Quiller with the power of shadows, combined with the dagger's advanced killing moves.
The warrior fought back regardless of the damage, but his agility was too much of a disadvantage, and coupled with the injuries and exhaustion from the previous battle with the Gnolls, he couldn't do any damage to Malthus.
Not long after, Quiller was unwilling to fall in a pool of blood, with short blade wounds of all sizes, as if thieves teasing and mocking adventurers.
The warrior gritted his teeth and said weakly: "Even if you get the treasures in the ruins, you will definitely go to hell, insidious thief......"
Malthus walked over, and the black short blade pierced the warrior's heart, "Foolish adventurer, who thinks that others will also covet money, and only deserve to be cannon fodder." ”
The ruins fell silent, and the half-elves were cautiously on guard with a one-handed sword with a round shield on their side.
The Shadow Thief turned his head and said contemptuously, "You're the only one left, half-elf, and sure enough, you're also a greedy guy, watching your teammates die on the sidelines." ”
"Adventurer, obediently tie your hands and I will make your death less painful......"
The half-elf's gray eyes were full of calm, and he said slowly: "Sure enough, this exploration mission is not so simple......"
"Came here to kill the gnolls and brutes not just for the quest and the gold treasure, did you, where did you get the news to find this ruin, the Church of the Silver Flame, or the Thieves' Guild?"
Malthus sneered and said disdainfully, "Weak half-elf, it seems that you still know something, and I will tell you the answer when I drain your blood." ”
As soon as the words fell, Malthus's figure began to blur, and he rushed towards the half-elf directly with the complex movements of advanced stealth.
The shadow thief's movements may not be fast, but the blurred figure in the shadows, and the advanced stealth technique driven by the power of the blood shadow, make it impossible for ordinary people to capture the opponent's body movements.
'Bang!' There was a metal thud, and the half-elf held a titanium round shield, blocking the shadow thief's attack.
The Shadow Thief walked nimbly and turned around the shield, but suddenly felt a dark shadow, and his arm and shoulder sore violently.
'Shield Strike', the basic martial art of a warrior, was used by the half-elf with great skill, and it hit the thief's body just right.
A cold light, the blade of the one-handed sword slashed after it, but it was directly dodged by the intuitive shadow thief.
Malthus took a step back, his eyes a little cold.
"Half-elf, it looks like I'm underestimating you. But that's the end of it, you never know the gap between a professional and an apprentice. ”
Loki's one-handed sword pulled a sword flower, and said casually: "Yes, do you know the difference in the length of the weapon?"
The effect of spatial vision has been adjusted and turned on by 14.9%, although the consumption of biological energy and oxygen has increased a lot, but it is not a burden for the current body of the half-elf.
The Shadow Thief is good at stealth and other hidden actions, and some killing moves have hidden effects, but under the spatial visual lock, the opponent's movements are not hidden.
Malthus snorted coldly, and in the shadow of the dancing lights, he attacked the half-elf again, and under his wanderer dance footsteps, the speed was even faster than before.
The power of the shadows increased agility and speed, and a pair of black short blades swung rapidly, attacking aggressively.
'Qiang~Qiang~Qiang!' The sound of metal shields hitting them rang non-stop for a long time......
What was surprising was that the attacks of the first-order shadow thieves were either nimbly dodged by the half-elves, or most of them hit the metal round shield.
The Shadow Thief's wrist softened, and another shield slam nearly made him unable to hold his weapon.
He also had to pay attention to the swing of the one-handed sword, he couldn't block it, he could only rely on his intuition to dodge it, after all, even with the blessing of the power of the bloodline shadow, his strength had no advantage over the half-elves.
Loki's martial arts movements have changed, and with the same 'Wanderer's War Dance', his footsteps jumped forward sharply, and the sharp one-handed sword swept across a large area with a quick move.
The Shadow Thief hurriedly dodged, but this time the 'Intuitive Dodge' was already unable to dodge, his armor was almost pierced, and his arm was left with a shallow wound.
"Damn half-elves, you're getting me serious......"
Malthus didn't look at the slightest wound on his body, he grabbed a cloud of black powder from his small bag around his waist and threw it into the air around him.
'Oh, sha, luhu, Volac' came out of the mouth of the shadow thief with a few strange syllables, which were very different from the skills of ordinary thief professionals.
This strange black powder, as if it encounters the air, turns into a thick black mist, which not only obscures the shadow thief's figure, but also makes the stone chamber pitch black and gray, and he can't see his fingers.
It was dark and black, and the visibility in the black fog was less than a meter.
The half-elf frowned, even the optimized vision, and the low-light night vision senses lost their effect.
Spatial vision can only provide some basic terrain perception, and without the basic assistance of the senses, it is no longer possible to capture the figure of the thief who is good at hiding.
