Chapter 197: Traces of the Enemy in the Dark Forest (Part II)

"Who?"

Leon shouted angrily, and the whole person jumped up like a powerful crossbow full of strength, and swooped towards the dark jungle not far away.

The whole camp was immediately alarmed, and the mercenaries came out of their tents, all of them sleepy-eyed, but all of them took up arms.

Camping in the secret forest, there is a possibility of facing danger at any time, so they will not take off their armor when they sleep, and their weapons are kept at hand, once there is any trouble, the mercenaries can be ready for battle at the first time.

The old lion Gucci did not follow Leon to search for the enemy, but rushed to the side of the shaman's tent as fast as he could, blessed with soul armor to guard and prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the shaman.

On this side, Leon rushed into the jungle with lightning speed, and the darkness of the vines and trees was so thick that it seemed that even light could not penetrate it, but the insects that disturbed the flying insects in the grass told Leon where his enemies were.

Many of these insects emit a faint light, they are fireflies in the dark, and the fluttering points of light are undoubtedly the best guide.

Whoa!

The enemy lurking in the darkness realized that his whereabouts were exposed, and immediately intercepted Leon.

The unknown blade flew through the air, emitting a strange and terrifying roar, unable to catch the trajectory of its attack in the darkness.

Leon's reaction was extremely fast, and he raised the Lei Yan battle knife to protect his chest, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", the sparks of metal impact flashed, and a flying blade was knocked out.

But another sharp blade grazed his shoulder, leaving a short scar on the soul armor of the body protector.

The Assassin, Scout, and Leon's eyes flashed coldly, and he could tell by his sense that his opponent was shooting a hidden weapon like a curved blade throwing knife.

And this is definitely not the style of the Beamon warriors, it is the weapon that Terran assassins or scouts like to use to intercept and sneak attack.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Leon's mind like lightning, but his movements were not slow at all, his left hand slapped on his waist and instantly drew four prismatic thorns, and shot towards the enemy's position.

It's called an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and the enemy completely exposes his tracks while intercepting Leon.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black prismatic spike is faster and more concealed than the arc blade throwing knife, and only the thunder light attached to it can be faintly recognized, but when you see the thunder light, I am afraid that it has already been hit by it.

Poof!

A dull cracking sound sounded, and at least three prismatic thorns hit the target, and the enemy in the darkness obviously did not expect that Leon would have such a powerful means at all, and the means of counterattack were too late to be used, and they hurriedly retreated towards the depths of the jungle.

A really good scout, the first reaction of being discovered should be to retreat, this lurker obviously despised Leon's strength, thinking that relying on his secret weapon can make Leon suffer a big loss, he can calmly escape.

He undoubtedly made a huge mistake.

At the same time as the prismatic thorn hit the enemy, Leon stepped heavily on the entangled vines on the ground, and the whole person took advantage of his strength to soar up again, and the Lei Yan war knife drew a brilliant light and flame trajectory in the air, slashing straight towards the fleeing black shadow.

The brilliant light of the sword tore through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding scene within a radius of tens of feet, and the lurker was completely exposed to Leon's sight!

The lurker was a slender, skinny man in dark green leather armor, armed with a dagger and a crossbow on his back, in standard scout attire.

There was a faint layer of dark cyan light protection outside his body, not a soul armor or a mana shield.

The apparently Terran scout was taken aback by the sudden light, and he sensed the terrifying power that had come to him, and hurriedly changed direction and scurried towards the trees on the other side.

As he dodged, he threw his left arm in reverse, and his left hand opened and shot two more arcing blades in an attempt to slow Leon's attack.

It is undeniable that the scout's resilience is admirable - he would have been able to escape without the previous mistakes.

But now that he wants to leave, it depends on whether Leon agrees or not.

Facing the two arc blades that flew in, Lei Ang didn't look at the left hand and swung it out, relying on the strong defensive ability of the body protection soul armor, he slapped one of them and carried the other.

The sharp blade didn't diminish in the slightest, but it deflected slightly, and it fell straight down with a whistling sound, slashing into the scout's left shoulder.

A knife is swung out, the heart is full of distractions, no matter what tricks the other party has, the knife will not stop!

Leon's attack was largely in line with the meaning of the sword, which was perfect in terms of strength, speed, and momentum, and the scout managed to dodge it, but he still did not escape the sword.

The sword that contained the power of the powerful flame element ruthlessly cut through the thin layer of fighting qi protection outside the scout's body.

Poof!

The sword flashed, and an arm fell straight to the ground.

"Ahh

The mortally wounded scout let out a low scream, and instead of fleeing, he turned sharply and stabbed Leon in the neck with the dagger he held in his right hand.

The dagger body is green, the tip reveals an inch-long arrogance, the fighting spirit of the human race and the soul power of Beamon have the same power, and the power of the scout's desperate counterattack should not be underestimated.

However, Leon was not negligent, and when he saw the scout turn and stab the dagger, he did not hesitate to raise his right leg and kick it sideways, and then kicked the scout in the abdomen first.

An inch long and an inch strong, if the scout was holding a long sword, then he would definitely be able to stab Leon first, but unfortunately his dagger was too short, and his stature was not as tall as Leon.

The dagger glittered with fighting spirit paused half a foot away from Leon, and the scout hunched over, crashing into the thorn bushes behind him, unable to even climb up.

"Leon!"

"Ray, are you alright?"

Hurried footsteps were heard behind Leon, and the members of the Divine Blade rushed over.

A milky aura bloomed in the forest, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, a lighting spell cast by the shaman, which helped the mercenaries to find Leon's location in no time.

"It's the Terran scout," Leon said, pointing to the bushes in front of him, "I've been wounded." ”

The two warriors immediately rushed over like wolves, ready to capture the badly wounded scout.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the scout laughed miserably and raised his dagger, stabbed it hard in the chest, and stabbed it into his heart!

He looked up, his eyes dazed, his body twitched, his arm slipped off, and there was no more sound.

The mercenary who rushed over shook his head helplessly and stopped.

Leon felt a pang in his heart, the scout's ruthlessness was beyond his expectations.

The existence of a scout must represent the existence of an adventurous team, and the general strength of the other party can also be judged from the performance of this scout.

The existence of such a Terran team, which is very likely to have bad intentions, is undoubtedly a great threat to the Divine Blade.

However, due to the suicide of the scout, Leon has no way of telling whether his snooping on the Divine Blade is an accidental encounter or a deliberate surveillance, and the surnames represented by the two must be different.

The rest of the team is also aware of this problem, and everyone's looks are not very good-looking, if their own actions fall into the sight of the other party early on, it will be dangerous.

"Don't rest from now on, be ready to fight at any time!" Odeniz, who came later, said in a deep voice: "Everyone be vigilant, you must be on guard!"

"Kaka, you go and search the body and see if you can find out who he is. ”

Everyone returned to the makeshift camp, and two samurai went around to cut more wood and burn the bonfire even more.

And Fei Li quietly disappeared into the jungle, taking on the task of guarding the perimeter.

Leon noticed that Odeniz did not have the slightest concern about his daughter being left alone, and apparently had full confidence in her strength.

Kaka quickly retrieved the items he had recovered from the Terran scouts, including weapons, rations, and even a lot of coins.

Odeniz pulled out a silver badge from a pile of things, he carefully recognized the pattern and text on it, thought for a moment and said: "The Gaosen mercenary team should be from the Raging Fortress of the Terrans, I don't know if their appearance is related to our mission." ”

The Terran Fortress is the closest stronghold to the Beamon sphere of influence among the Terran forces, and the Terran adventurers who come out of the Angry Storm Fortress often clash and fight in the secret forest.

On top of that, the Angry Fortress and the Savage Fortress are not far from the ruins of Gosas.

The situation seems to be getting complicated!Leon turned his head to look at Gongo, who was huddled to the side, he sensed that the other party seemed to be hiding something, and this time the task might not be easy.

"Anyway, we'll try to get to the Gosas ruins before sunset tomorrow, if the danger exceeds expectations..."Odeniz's somewhat sharp gaze also fell on Gongo: "I will give up the mission." ”

A real team of mercenaries will not risk the lives of their members, and Odeniz is definitely not a character to fool.

Gonggo lowered his head, not daring to look at Odeniz's gaze, and did not object.

For a moment, there was silence in the camp, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Leon coughed, and took out from his pocket the wooden box he had intended for the old lion, which contained all the best cigars.

"Is this a cigar?" the old lion actually recognized it, and said in surprise: "This is an exclusive item for the nobles!"

"Who said only nobles could smoke it?" Leon smiled and handed out cigars, and of course Odenitz and the others would not refuse his kindness.

In the second half of the night, accompanied by a bonfire, the silence passed, and no enemy appeared.

Before it was all daylight, the Divine Blade was back on its way.
