Catherine pursed her lips and reached out to pull out the third bottle of the potion, but hesitated for a moment and gave up on the plan, looking back at the giant puppet that was chasing after her unhurriedly. During the time when Vivien had just opened the road, Catherine was forced to retreat by the powerful puppet, seeing that the puppet's position was less than a hundred meters away, if she remained in place, with the puppet's stride and speed, I am afraid that she would catch up in front of her in a minute at most.

"Let's go. Catherine gritted her teeth, picked up Vivien, who was already paralyzed, and said to the two maids, "Keep running as planned, and I'll deal with it if it puts another hedron bomb." ”

"Sister, be careful when you go forward. Anne poked her head out anxiously and said, "There are undead in front of us, it's dangerous." ”

"And?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and listened with her head sideways as she walked quickly, only the heavy footsteps of the puppets behind her could be heard, but there was no sound of skeletons rubbing against their bones, but Anne couldn't lie at such a time, Catherine could only ask suspiciously: "I didn't hear, isn't it a skeleton?"

"No, it's a ghost. Anne pointed to herself: "Anne's kind." ”

Catherine's fists clenched. Ghosts, or ghosts, are considered the most troublesome of the undead and have always been a nightmare for adventurers. This kind of strange undead can have no body, and the effect of physical attacks on them is extremely small, but the sword in their hand is between the virtual and the real, slashing at the human body, even if the materialized part cannot break through the defense of the human body, the other part of the virtual can also point directly at the soul, causing trauma to the person from the soul. Not only that, but for those who are not strong-willed, ghosts can also take the opportunity to invade the other person's mind and cause the other person to fall into a frenzy. A few months ago, during a trip to the Flash Forest, in the ruins of the old city of Briana, Catherine's four found hundreds of corpses, although the causes of death were different, but when they were discussed afterwards, they were nothing more than cannibalism after madness. Or die after being attacked by an attack originating from the soul part.

Deal with these strange undead unless you have a divinely blessed weapon, or like a demigod you can squander your energy and use it to dispel them completely. Otherwise, if you only rely on weapons to engage in regular battles, the combat profession of the physics department will basically not play any role. If you really want to effectively destroy ghosts, you must have some priests who have the priesthood of life or light, and their magic has a miraculous effect on this kind of undead, and often a high-ranking priest can purify the ghosts in patches. Except for priests. Mages who are good at light magic can also do this, although they are slightly less efficient than priests, but they are much faster than the combat professions of the physics department.

Vivien could actually do it, but it would take at least half an hour of cultivation for her to regain her mobility, and it was impossible for her to make it in time. Thinking of this, Catherine felt a splitting headache, and she was really in a dilemma.

"Forget it, let's go back. Time was pressing, and Catherine hesitated for only a few seconds before making up her mind. Carrying Vivien on his back, he dragged the two sisters with his hand: "Retreat for the time being, wait until this puppet is shaken off, and Vivien will come back when she wakes up." ”

"But the puppets are in the way. The two sisters did not hesitate and ran after Catherine, but still asked with some concern, "Do you want to knock it down first?"

"No, the biggest weakness of this kind of puppet is that it moves slower than normal people. Catherine lifted Vivien up on her back, raised her shield, and said, "I'll go up first to get his attention, and you will take the opportunity to get under it, and run from then on." I'll hold him back. Don't worry, you can be faster than it even if you are injured, I will catch up when you run a distance, don't worry about getting separated. ”

"Thank you. Pansy gasped. Although she had been treated with a few wounds, the two sisters were still a little weakened and struggled to run, but even so, she reluctantly asked the biggest question in her heart: "Why do you want to hold back the enemy for us at this time?" ”

"That's your common sense, not mine. Catherine looked at the golem that was getting closer. The smile on his face remained: "Or, that's just the common sense of the city of innocence, not the common sense of the outside world." Do you know why you children born in the city of innocence end up surviving on the outside, even if you go out, because you have long been bound by what you think is common sense. Okay, that's it, I'll go first, remember to find a gap and run over. ”

In the blink of an eye, she had already run to a position less than ten meters at the feet of the giant puppet, Catherine stomped on the ground hard, and took the lead in rushing into the puppet's attack range. The puppet's sensor found that one of the locked intruders had entered the effective distance, and immediately raised its legs, and the calf, which was nearly eighty centimeters thick, lifted up and stepped heavily on Catherine on the ground. After the previous few minutes of fighting, Catherine had long been accustomed to the golem's melee attack, and took a step sideways, the shield pressed against the ground close to her side, so that the shield was at a seventy-five degree angle to the ground, and the top of the shield was just beyond the outer edge of the golem's metal paw.

The puppet stomped a heavy attack, but due to the smooth and sloping shield, the downward force was cleverly changed to oblique, so that the puppet seemed to step on the empty place, and the huge body also became unstable due to the use of the wrong force, and it shook in place for a while before regaining its balance. The maid sisters never stopped, and when the puppet just lifted its legs, they began to sprint forward, and at the same time as the metal soles fell, the two girls had already taken the opportunity to drill through the gap that Catherine had fought for, and went around the back of the puppet.

"Keep running, don't stop. Catherine gave full play to her mobility, and with a twist of her body, she got between the puppet and the two sisters, blocking the puppet's path to chase them.

In fact, in terms of the knight's mobility, if only Catherine herself, or even if she still had Vivien on her back, it would be difficult for this puppet to pose much of a threat to her. Catherine doesn't even need to fight the puppet head-on, she just needs to keep walking around the puppet's footsteps to make the golem fall into a situation where it is forced to constantly rotate in place, and it is impossible to launch any effective attack on Catherine. This is also a flaw that the goblin designers of 10,000 years ago could not finally solve.

But now Catherine apparently can't do that, and she's figured out how the puppet is determined. During combat, the golem will give priority to chasing the target directly in front of the attack, and when there is more than one target in front, it will give priority to attacking the nearest target. Therefore, if Catherine dares to be behind and on the side of the puppet for a long time, which is not easy to attack, the puppet will turn the target to the maid sisters who are running away. The two sisters were not like Catherine, who were able to eat a few spar bombs, and if the puppet fired a bomb at them, the sisters would either be seriously injured or killed instantly.

"Hi, I'm here. Although she knew that making a sound would not help, Catherine habitually shouted, and at the same time picked up her shield and smashed it on the golem's calf. However, the metal golem was unaware of the attack, leaning forward, bending its head down, and slamming its fist into the ground, causing the ground to vibrate violently again. But Catherine, who was the target of the fist, took a few steps back long before the fist landed, just let go of the fist, and calmly watched the fist slash less than fifty centimeters away from her.

With a soft sound of "dang", although Catherine knew that it was ineffective, she still took advantage of the situation to look at the puppet's arm, leaving a white mark on the surface of the metal. The puppet seemed to be enraged by this one, and smashed its arm on the ground, suddenly stabbing down diagonally from the position of the elbow with a dozen metal spikes nearly two meters long. These spikes cover a wide area, like a metal cage, trying to restrict Catherine's movements. However, Catherine had already suffered a loss from such an abrupt attack before, and she had already prepared for it, holding her shield high above her head, while her body took two steps back, avoiding the attack of the metal thorns.

With one miss, the puppet fell to one knee on the ground, and the knee joint of the bent leg suddenly opened, revealing a black hollow. Seeing the puppet's strange reaction for the first time, Catherine didn't dare to be careless, all the muscles in her body were in a tense state, ready to dodge around at any time.

"Poof. "A stream of yellow-brown liquid squirted out from the open knee joint, which is one of the hidden means of attack of the legion and war puppets, although the liquid sprayed has no effect on the metal, but it is a strong corrosive liquid for **, as long as a few drops, it can burn through a person's limbs. If you are sprayed head-on by these liquids, it will probably only take a few seconds to turn an intact person into a bloody skeleton.

"Cut~~~" Catherine snorted a little irritably, and was scared into a cold sweat by the puppet's sudden attack, if it wasn't for the premonition of the crisis, put the shield on top of her head in advance, and avoid it in time, I'm afraid she would really be sprayed by the liquid, and it would not be a simple injury at that time.

"I won't play with you anymore. Catherine tightened the rope that bound Vivien behind her back, and after throwing an ineffective sword at the puppet in anger, she turned and chased after the maid sisters. However, something frightened her happened, the maid sister, who was supposed to run far away, was actually running back from a distance, turning back frequently as she ran.

"Why did you come back?" Catherine asked in surprise and aloud, "Didn't you say that you must keep running and never stop?"

"No, can't run anymore. The maid sister replied breathlessly, "Front, front, there are also undead in front." ”

Catherine's face changed dramatically, and she looked closely behind the maid sisters. Sure enough, behind the maid sisters, a large number of hazy translucent shadows were fluttering behind the sisters and surrounded them. The crowds of welcome still maintained the form of goblins, and the utterly incomprehensible sounds from their mouths were like spells, making people dizzy. (To be continued.) )
