Chapter 29: The Hard Battle (I)
Wow~Wow~
The baby's cry woke Mo He from his dream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had just had a dream that he was eating with Shaanna by a campfire in the wilderness, when a ghoul suddenly pounced and bit Shaanna, and he wanted to save Shaanna, but was preempted by a monster with the head of an eagle and a lion.
So he ran after the griffin, but he couldn't catch up, when he suddenly heard the cry of a baby, and woke him up from his endless running.
He found himself in a room, it was dark, the door was open, there was the light of torches outside, and the sound of people fighting monsters.
Where is this?
Mo He wanted to turn over, but found that his hands and feet were reflexively tied.
He heard another breathing sound next to him, which was faintly distinguished, like a man in armor.
The room was too dark to see each other's faces.
"Hey ......"
Mo He shouted softly, and found that he was a little reckless, so he stopped.
He struggled to remember what had happened to him:
Shaanna, I saw Shaanna myself.
I saw Shaanna in the Misty City, yes, Rennes brought him, Shaanna asked me to save him, I couldn't rush over at once, I called, called Shuiyue first.
What happened to the end? Was Wren saved? Where is the water moon?
By the way, Shaanna was taken away by the lion-headed monster, blood! Shaanna was bleeding! She was probably injured.
No! I'm going to find her.
"Who tied it up, so tight!"
Mo He struggled again and found that there was no possibility of breaking free at all.
The person next to him couldn't see who it was, and if he was in the same group as the person who kidnapped him, then it was not good to wake up the other party rashly.
But who's going to catch themselves? You have to find something to break the rope.
"Hmm, this cold touch, silver iron spear, tied to the barrel of the gun, carried here?"
Mo He groped along the barrel of the gun all the way, touched the tail of the gun, and then touched it back, and finally touched the head of the gun.
"Great! It's saved!" Mo He began to put his hands behind his back, rubbing the head of the gun with the tied rope, and paying attention to the surrounding movements from time to time.
However, it was so noisy outside the house, even if he smashed the bottle and stool in the house, no one would notice.
Bang!
Loud explosions.
"This is so familiar, it's a ghoul baby!" Mo He was so startled by the explosion that he stopped what he was doing, and when he reacted, the movement of rubbing his hand faster.
On the rooftop, Suizuki is battling mutated ghouls such as Flying Demons and Snipers.
Her black robe was half torn, half of her shoulders were exposed, and her white underwear was missing.
This one wasn't scratched by a monster, it was torn by the sniper's spit of white bone spikes that pinned down on the clothes and struggled.
After Shuiyue eliminated the flying demon who had just glided to the roof, he rested on the chimney of the house, listening to the chaotic shouts downstairs, but he couldn't understand a word.
"Quick! Don't let the little ones come up! Shoot them!"
"The first floor! The first floor is almost unbearable, come and support!"
"Hold on! Lord Priest and Lord Shaanna have come to the rescue. ”
"Everyone follow Lord Shaanna's griffin and eagle, let's rush to the yard and kick these dog-raised monsters out!"
"Ahh
"Don't panic! Water! Is the one who took the water dead? If he is not dead, hurry up and bring it to the Eighth Master Archmage. Give the adults more time to rest!"
The battle has lasted for more than two hours since dusk, and the enemy's attacks are so frequent that it is difficult for people to have a chance to breathe.
Shui Yue and Mo He had already fought too many battles during the day, and now they had been fighting alone on the rooftops for so long, even a Shui Yun assassin like her, who had experienced extremely cruel devil training since she was a child, felt unbearable.
Among these people downstairs, only she can understand the words of the eighth master, and before the eighth master asks her to come down, she will stick to it until the end.
Mo He was still resting on the third floor, which was also the reason why Shui Yue didn't let go of any ghouls who planned to sneak up on the rooftop.
Flying demons are easier to solve, although they glide silently, but after falling to the roof, they are completely ordinary ghouls, just be careful not to be attacked by them from behind, this is not a problem, if you can't even dodge this level of sneak attack from behind, then she has already been killed by the sneak attack of the water cloud assassin.
Snipers are the deadliest and most difficult to deal with, they tend to hide hundreds of yards away, which is out of reach of the Water Moon attack, and the white bone spikes they fire are as fast and terrifying as military crossbow arrows, even if they wear heavy armor.
The best way for Mizuki to deal with them is to dodge, completely relying on the instantaneous sensing before the crisis comes, and she has done a good job so far.
But how long can the current physical state last?Shui Yue will not waste too much time thinking about this kind of problem, as long as the body can still be used, he will fight to the end, this is the consistent belief of the Shui Yun Assassin.
"It's coming!" Shui Yue instantly left the chimney she was leaning on, and two white bone spikes were inserted into her head and body respectively.
Immediately after that, several flying demons landed on the roof, and Suiyue hurriedly caught up with them, quickly slashing the heads of the three monsters with one sword, and then letting their corpses roll to the ground.
There was also one that crawled to the window on the third floor, Shui Yue's distance was too late to stop, only to see Shui Yue's right hand knife handed over to his left hand and held it together, with a shake of the sleeve of his robe, a sharp wooden thorn appeared in his right hand, and with a quick flick, the wooden thorn was instantly nailed into the flying demon's brain, and the limbs of the flying demon with a head injury could no longer climb and crawl freely, twisting his body and falling downstairs.
"Reflexes have slowed down! It looks like you're reaching the limits of your body. Shui Yue helplessly knelt on one knee on the roof.
Her fear of death had long been numb, and her heart was full of joy and sorrow at this time, the joy was that she felt that her world had suddenly brightened up since she met Mo He, and the sadness was that she might not be able to protect Mo He anymore.
In the small hall on the second floor, the eighth master was drinking the water that a soldier had sacrificed his life to take from the courtyard.
The eighth master can make water by himself, but the water he makes is not delicious, and it is no problem to use it as a raw material for holy water to treat trauma or to quench his thirst, but it is not helpful to use it to maintain the stable output of the eighth master's magic.
In the past two days, the mental power consumption of the eighth master when he released the magic was unbearable for ordinary people, and if there was no wine to relieve the mental pressure, it would be difficult for the eighth master to maintain a stable magic output for a long time.
Like the current Eighth Master, the ice crystal nail released is a big failure, the thickness and length of the nail are difficult to control, if the ice soul spell is released, it may freeze the entire house of warriors into ice mounds because of loss of control, instead of freezing the monsters outside the house into ice sculptures.
In the absence of fine wine, ordinary water can also alleviate the current unstable state of the eighth master's mental power.
The eighth master drank water while thinking about countermeasures, suppressing Mo He's violent magic element vortex today consumed a lot of his spiritual power, fortunately, he was already in the realm of a magic master, otherwise he would not be able to fight again now.
At the moment when the loss of vitality and spiritual power is too large, it is definitely not possible to go head-to-head with the enemy.
There is no need to consider protracted warfare, a large number of ordinary ghouls, plus various mutated ghouls, especially the ghost babies produced by the ghoul mother, the soldiers who resist are quite damaged, not only the consumption of arrows is huge, but the wear and tear of the equipment is also very serious.
Iron swords, spears, wooden shields, one less broken, no logistical supplement, in the end, you can't let the warrior fight the ghoul with his bare hands.
The healing manpower is also limited, and he only brought a white-robed sacrifice when he came out, and the little guy Shaanna's mental power has also lost a lot, although the purity of magic is quite high, but at most it can only be regarded as half a white-robed sacrifice.
Let a half-white-robed priest take care of more than a hundred people, oh, wrong, now it is more than ninety, that is not just a matter of consuming mental power, but also a matter of considerable physical consumption.
The battle encounters in the past two days have made the eighth master feel suspicious.
These battles were fought by a large number of ghouls, what could prompt them to join forces?
The records mention that necromantic creatures will kill each other, they are the predatory creatures, mutated ghouls directly feed on low-level ghouls, and low-level ghouls will hunt their own kind and feed on their own kind if they can't find living creatures to eat for a long time.
If the information is correct, then these ghouls are working together, and there must be a guy in command behind the scenes.
Who is this commanding fellow? Is it a human or a monster? And who is this guy under orders?
There are too many questions to be answered, but now it's time to find the guy who is directing this battle.
There is only one person who can come and go freely in the dark and can safely pass through a large number of enemies, and that is the water moon.
"Oh no! the moon is still on the roof!"
The eighth master suddenly remembered that he had arranged Shuiyue on the roof, Shuiyue did things decisively and cleanly, and the eighth master was very relieved to hand over the roof to Shuiyue to guard alone, but he forgot that Shuiyue had experienced a big war today, and now he was holding the most dangerous position for so long.
The eighth master put down the crockpot filled with water, stood up and shouted loudly outside: "Shui Yue!
Hope Suigetsu is okay!
"Everyone, pay attention! The roof is temporarily abandoned, and everyone standing by the window on the third floor should pay attention to the sneak attack, don't let the monsters under the roof succeed!"
