Chapter Twenty-Six: Spike
There was a dull crash, and Catherine in the gallop collided with the skeletons gathered in a pile. The skeletal soldiers of the bronze and black iron ranks could not do anything to Catherine, she didn't even need to use her shield to block, the rusted sword would naturally break or bounce off the scale armor on her body, and even if it slashed at the silver wolf beneath her, it would not be able to break through the defense of the silver wolf's own fur.
The silver wolf carefully selected by Diana this time is the most powerful silver wolf except for the leader of the wolf pack, each of them is a gold-level demonic beast, whether it is strength or speed, it is not inferior to a gold-level warrior. Although they can't use Dou Qi because they are demonic beasts, they can no longer make explosive attacks and defenses on the original basis, correspondingly, their fur itself provides strong defense in place of Dou Qi shields, and in terms of defense alone, they are far higher than humans who can not activate the shield. Therefore, in the face of the skeleton's attack, the giant wolf didn't even bother to dodge, and easily crashed into every enemy that stood in his way.
Catherine, who was riding on the back of a wolf, stared at the skeleton knight in the center, the bone knight in front of him belonged to the lowest level of this type of undead, only the strength of the silver rank, but Catherine, who had never fought with the high-level undead, did not know their specific abilities, so she did not dare to despise them at all, and was preoccupied with preparing to deal with them.
Five meters behind Catherine, Lina and Marcia followed left and right. The two had never fought a horse, and they were not saddle horses but wolves, but with the strength of their pros, they tightened their legs and fixed themselves to the wolf's back, wielding their weapons with instinct. It must be admitted that the enemy is very weak, in the face of a group of gold-level professionals, dozens of low-level skeletons can not give full play to the tactical advantages of the Sea of the Undead, even if the two of them wave their weapons indiscriminately, but the power attached to the weapons can still easily break their bones and smash their heads, and it just so happens that the two of them are using heavy weapons, which makes this crushing activity more convenient.
Pannis was with Vivien. Unhurriedly following at the end, Pannis's occasional arrow was fired, and the feathered arrow fluttered, flying as fast and slow as Pannis's own. But every shot, every feather arrow, no matter how weird the angle, will accurately penetrate the eye socket of the black hole hole of the leaking skeleton, directly extinguishing the soul fire burning in it.
As for Vivien. She was very bored lying on the back of the silver wolf, constantly rubbing her cheeks against the warm and soft long hair of the giant wolf, and the comfortable feeling of the fur almost made her moan with happiness. If the silver wolf could make a human expression, I'm afraid it would definitely put on a helpless look now.
The crashing sound continued one after another, and the skeletons in front of him were knocked away one by one. The orc corpse riding a bone goat didn't know what race it was, and Bai Sensen held a huge horse chopping knife in his arm, and seeing Catherine getting closer and closer, the horse chopping knife slowly raised.
"Dreadnought. Catherine's shield was raised in front of her, and her one-handed sword in her right hand was raised high: "Charge." ”
The running silver wolf was suddenly surprised to find that his speed had increased greatly. Everything around seemed to slow down, and as soon as he lifted his legs, he seemed to have appeared in front of the enemy, and his keen sense of smell could already smell the filthy smell of the necromancer emanating from the other party.
If it was an intelligent being, it would have been very surprised and panicked in the face of Catherine's rapid approach, but now it was facing a bone knight who had no consciousness and acted purely on instinct, and when he saw the enemy appear in the attack range, he did not panic, did not hesitate, and the fire in his eyes emitted a strange light. At the same time, the horse chopping knife slashed head-on with the sound of hunting wind.
"Be careful. Pannis suddenly shouted.
With a loud "dang", the two horses collided together, and after a slight pause, the Skeleton Knight even took his mount. They were scattered by a huge impact, and the white bones scattered in all directions, which was a sign that the soul fire was extinguished and the power of death could no longer bind the bones. At the moment of impact, the saber slashed heavily at the raised irises in time, and the tremendous force made Catherine's shield-holding left hand sink significantly. But he managed to block the slash. Catherine's one-handed sword, however, took advantage of the stiffness of the Bone Knight's slash, and the tip of the sword cut an arc and pierced deep into its eye socket.
"What's wrong?" it was only after the two horses parted that Catherine had room to turn back. Originally, it was planned to break through the enemy's encirclement and throw off the other party, but I didn't expect the offensive to be so smooth, and there were only a dozen or so skeletons left under one attack, which could be destroyed at will, which won a lot of free time: "Why did you suddenly shout to be careful just now." ”
"You just took a slash from the other party. Instead of answering, Pannis asked, "Do you feel anything?"
"It's okay, I deliberately didn't have an angle to dissolve, I just wanted to test its power. Catherine recalled, "It feels quite powerful, and undisturbed, and nothing else." ”
"Oh, it seems that you are really the nemesis of the Bone Knight. Pennis laughed dryly and sighed, "The two strongest abilities of the Bone Knight have been completely restrained by you. ”
"Two abilities?" Catherine was stunned and asked puzzled, "I didn't find it at all." ”
"That's why you restrain them. Pannis shook his head and sighed, explaining: "They have two abilities, first, when approaching the enemy, they can release the light of fear through their eyes, and the fear of them in the heart of the affected people will be magnified exponentially, and many weak-willed people will often lose the will to fight because of this, even if they are determined to continue fighting, they will also be affected by fear." And their second ability, which is their slashing, is driven by fear, and the more people who fear them, the higher the force they bear, and the more damage they receive. In other words, if you were scared of it, that knife might just cut you off the wolf's back. ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Catherine asked in disbelief with a wink, "even those who are stronger than them will be affected?"
"Yes, it's not about strength. The strong can offset this advantage of the Bone Knight through their own strength, but after all, it will still be affected. Pannis twisted his head and whispered, "In my life, I have only seen one person who is not affected by the Bone Knight, but I didn't expect you to be the second." It's really hard for you, and you won't be afraid of the enemy at all. ”
"Of course. Catherine puffed up her chest and said proudly, "Knight, always fearless. ”
"Mr. Pannis, give. When the two were talking, Lina and Marcia had already cleaned up all the skeletons casually, and even picked up the feather arrows shot by Pannis, which were handed back by Marcia: "It is estimated that there will be no material supplies along the way, and the resources that can be reused are better reused." ”
"Thank you. Pannis put away his arrows and looked into the distance. In the mountains in the distance, a large number of moving human figures could be seen in large numbers, and it was obvious that it could not be humans wandering in such a place: "It seems that we must rush all the way in according to the previous plan." Otherwise, looking at this amount, if you enter it little by little, it is estimated that the task will probably be completed today next year. ”
"If you want to impact, you have to speed up. Catherine glanced at Vivien with some concern, "Can you hold on?"
"Don't worry about me. Vivien smiled at Catherine: "It's just a level of bump, I've already felt it just now, and it's absolutely no problem to hold on." ”
"No kidding. Pannis urged the silver wolf to pick her up from the wolf's back as she passed Vivien, carried her behind him, and said loudly as he galloped forward, "At this time, there is no point in holding on, and the most important thing is to keep the best fighting condition." It's no problem now, let's speed up, the fastest speed impact. ”
Lina let out a long howl imitating Diana's appearance, and the silver wolves activated at the same time, and began to charge into the mountains at the same speed as they were chasing their prey. Vivien lay on Pannis's back, her stunned expression lasted for a long time, and the stiffness on her face slowly softened, and she relaxed the muscles of her neck and pressed her face against Pannis's back, and even her eyes were gently closed. Although he also endured bumps on the wolf's back, Vivian's feeling at this time was different from when he rode the wolf, and the Pannis under him used the power of his waist and legs to skillfully resolve the bumps when the giant wolf was running, and the power of the bumps could not be transmitted to the upper body through the lumbar spine at all, so that his upper body basically remained stable and did not understand. Therefore, the bump that Vivian on her back felt at this time was extremely slight, even more comfortable than sitting in a carriage, and it did not look like riding on the back of a wolf at all.
Soon, the others followed, and the five wolves spontaneously formed a goose and moved at high speed on the ground. Along the way, they encountered a lot of skeletons and undead, but the slow-moving skeletons couldn't keep up with the speed of the five wolves, and sometimes as soon as the skeletons turned around, the five of them had already driven the silver wolves far away. Even if some skeletons are attracted by vitality and want to catch up with the five people, it is completely impossible to catch up with the galloping silver wolf with only the skeleton's legs.
Running on the grassland is a very enjoyable thing, feeling the strong wind blowing in your face, scanning the regressing scenery around you, the passion and impulse brought by speed is like the sweetest poison, making people's hearts full of fear, but they can't resist the temptation of this thrill, and can't help but want to join in this run.
"Ya roared. With a long howl, Pannis rushed out against the wind of the prairie, followed by Catherine, her long black hair fluttering in the air, and a silvery laugh sprinkled with it.
"I can't hide from it. Catherine shouted, "From now on, there are more and more piles of undead, don't be left behind, everyone rush over together." ”
"No problem, rush. Lina replied loudly: "For the completion of the mission." ”
"For the mission!" (To be continued.) )
