5 - Assassin Night Visit

It's the thirteenth day since the landing. Previously, Barrudo's expedition team found an open flat land in the woods of the isolated island, which was just right to build a camp here, which could be used as a rest stop to help the wounded and have better medical rest, and more importantly, a camp also gave them an extra mental support, and it was much safer to rest at night than in the woods. Because one night before, he was attacked by a wild animal because he was not paying attention while resting, and finally died and injured one.

After a few days of construction, the camp of the expedition team has taken shape, and the general combat facilities have been basically completed, but they are more rudimentary than in the real war. However, guarding, defense, healing, resting, etc. have already been put into use, and they are just a little more perfect.

It was now the night of the fifteenth day, and with the exception of the wounded and sick resting and guarding, everyone else had come to the camp for a battle meeting in a small open space that had been divided. After a brief summary, Barrudo moved on to the important topic of tonight's meeting, which was to discuss how the mission should unfold and see if there was any plan for the battle. Because according to the constant induction of the ground in real time, he found that the object of this mission, that is, the treasure they were looking for, emitted a faint power from time to time. According to this power, Arye tracked it down and found that the treasure existed somewhere on the island, and its location had not changed much. This means that the artifact has either not been found by another person or creature, or has been found, but the owner has been living on a certain location on the island for a long time. During the few days he spent building the camp, Arye made a compass himself, and this compass was not just a normal compass in a north-south direction. The other is based on the magnetic field emitted by the designated target, but only in the direction in which the target is located. With this compass, they can also be more clear about their goals.

Although not all members of the team are ready to play now, this expedition team has been away from the base camp for a long time. This treasure should be found as soon as possible, and then return to the tribe to accept the quest as soon as possible. There really can't be any more delay in this place, from the time they landed on the island to now, they have been attacked by the wild animals on the island, and the time is so long, the strength of the army will only be slowly weakened, and in the end it can only be completely annihilated.

Therefore, at tonight's meeting, one of the team members suggested that it would be better to divide the expedition team into two teams that could now fight, one team would stay in the camp and be responsible for guarding the wounded, and the other team would continue to move forward to find treasures. Barrudo also agreed with this suggestion, and after repeated discussions, the meeting decided on the future battle plan. Four members of the team were assigned to guard the camp and care for the six wounded in the camp.

Barrudo and Arye led the ten members of the team to form a small team to continue the mission, and the team that was separated will continue the mission tomorrow.

After the combat meeting, everyone went back to pack up their equipment and rested. Tonight the southeast wind blew and brought moist moisture. The clouds raised by the wind slowly obscured the moon, and the sound of the wind made the trees around the camp rustle! Some people jumped away from the trees by taking advantage of the sound of the wind and the moonless night.

When I woke up the next day, there was a lot of fog in the woods. It was not easy to venture into the woods, and everyone had to wait in the camp. It was just around noon that the fog slowly began to dissipate. Seeing that the fog began to look, Barudo immediately led the team out of the camp and continued to search for treasures.

The current squad is different from when it first came to the island, it doesn't have to carry too many material tools, etc., but only brings some dry food to satisfy hunger, so it is much easier to move than before. Coupled with the compass that Arye had done before, if it didn't happen, Arye was expected to be able to hide the treasure within a day or two.

Although the action is much faster now, they are not taken lightly, after all, they have been attacked many times in the past few days, so they are idle and very careful now. As soon as there was any disturbance, they quickly hid themselves, set up a temporary resting place in the trees before dark, and rested in the trees when it was dark. That's all there is to it.

Turning back to the camp, the wounded were placed under the rest houses in the camp, neatly laid out with haystacks of bark and leaves. At night, the four guards at the camp decided to take turns guarding the rest house in small groups. This is done in case something happens, so that you can take care of it and make it easier to deal with it. Today is a cloudy day, and the dark clouds have not dispersed at night, and without the light of the stars and moon, the night will be darker and more dreary, and the surrounding environment will be more lonely. Occasionally, a breeze or two stirred the fire in front of the rest house in the camp, and it was late at night and had changed shifts.

The team members in front of the fire had just sat down, and the two who had changed out of work had already fallen asleep. The long night of guarding was indeed boring and difficult, and the two in front of the fire could only chat to relieve their boredom. After some more time, an unusual noise came from the woods. The two of them immediately clenched their weapons in one hand, supported the ground with the other, and half-propped themselves up, ready to be mentally vigilant. But the noise soon passed, and a little rabbit jumped out of the woods. The little rabbit was probably attracted by the fire in the camp and jumped out of the woods. However, when I came out, I found that there seemed to be something there, so I didn't continue to the firelight, but I didn't leave right away, I just squatted there.

The two team members were relieved to see that it was just a rabbit. And one of the team members suggested that if the guard was bored at night, it would be better to catch the rabbit and roast it and eat it, so as to relieve the boredom! Although the other team member also wanted to do this, there were many dangers in the woods at night, and they should not act rashly. The proposer smiled, picked up a crossbow from the side, loaded the bolt, and aimed it at the rabbit. As soon as he pressed the trigger, the crossbow arrow "swished" straight towards the rabbit. I have to admire the skill of this team member, the crossbow arrow is just shot to the waist of the rabbit without leaving the ground, the arrow ** to the ground, and the rabbit that was passed by the crossbow arrow is already motionless!

Another member of the team hurriedly applauded, and the team member who shot also showed a little pride, holding the crossbow in one hand, swinging it over his shoulder, and then swaggering over. He walked up to the dead rabbit and bent down to get it. Suddenly, a figure jumped from a tree towards the team member who had come to pick up rabbits. The figure was still holding a spear in his hand, the tip of which was pointing downward, and it stabbed the team member in the neck as he leaped down.

The man really caught the finger and hit the vital point directly, and the orc team member under the spear was killed! Moreover, the man did not stop, only to see his feet step on the orc's shoulder. Pulling out the spear with all his might, and then kicking it with the orc under his feet as a foot, the whole person jumped forward into the air, and after landing on the ground, he rushed straight towards the other orc in the camp with lightning speed.

The orcs in the camp were already shocked when they saw this figure sneak up on their teammates, and the man's fluency was simply astonishing. By the time the orc reacted and picked up his weapon again, the man had already pointed the tip of his spear at the orc and stabbed it straight at him. This momentum came quickly and directly towards the orc's vital point, and the orc could not completely parry it, so he could only lean backwards to avoid the man's vital attack. While dodging, he accidentally fell, lost his balance, and sat down on the ground after taking a few steps back. At this time, the orcs finally saw what this sneak attack at night looked like!

He is about a meter tall and stands by the fire with his feet side by side. He wore no shoes, and he didn't have much clothing on his body, except for a piece of animal fur rolled around his waist to cover his lower body, and a dagger hanging from his waist on one side, and a bottle on the other. Although the body is not as strong as that of the orcs, the various muscles on the body have become distinct shapes as if they had been trained. The face is covered with a dark mask, rounded, with feathers on the top, and two holes in the eyes for observation.

The orc stood up, ready to fight back, and asked the diminutive masked assassin, "Who are you, and why are you attacking us!", while shouting to the rest of his companions to wake up. The assassin did not immediately attack the orc in front of him for a second time, but pulled out the bottle from his waist. The bottle seemed to contain some kind of liquid, and then the assassin said softly, "For people who are dying, it is useless to know so many things!" After saying that, he slammed the bottle to the ground in the rest room, and the bottle was broken, and the liquid inside immediately began to evaporate into gas. A cloud of white mist emanated from it, and soon enveloped the entire rest room. When the orcs inside asked about the smell, they immediately reacted and coughed desperately.

Hearing the Assassin's words provocative, and seeing his companions suffer so much from the Assassins. The orcs outside the house became even angrier and more hateful to the assassin! The orcs clenched the battle axe in their hands, the muscles of their whole body began to expand, and many green tendons bulged out of their arms, and their expressions distorted as if they wanted to tear the short assassin in front of them to pieces.

The assassin also sensed the orc's anger and the power it exuded, and the spear tossed in his hand a few times, the tip of the spear drawing several arcs. Then he clenched his spear in both hands and took a stride forward. "Hey" rushed forward, pointed his spear at the orc, and stabbed it! However, just as the tip of the spear was about to stab the orc, the orc shouted! "Whoa!" formed a wall of air around the orc and squeezed outward. It was as if there was a shockwave, rushing towards the Assassin's body. The assassin was affected by the impact and his body was retreated, and he did not expect the orc to make such a move!

As soon as the orc burst out of this force, he immediately took advantage of the victory, strode forward, raised his battle axe, and slashed at the assassin! However, the assassin was not so intimidated, and immediately stood firm as soon as he stepped on his toes back to the ground, and his body reacted immediately to the orc's onrushing attack. On one side, the orc slashed into the air, and the blade of the axe pierced directly into the ground. The orc then swept across with his tomahawk, but the Assassin seemed to see the orc's attack pattern and began to jump backwards when the blade swung over. The Assassin was light on his feet, and he deftly dodged the orc's blow.

However, when the Assassin dodged the orc's second attack and landed on the ground, he also noticed a thin streak of blood on his chest. It turns out that if the anger of the orcs accumulates to a certain point and then erupts, their own strength will increase much more for a period of time after the outbreak, and the level of rune power will also increase during this time. The orc swept just now, and it didn't seem to directly hit the assassin, but in fact, when the tomahawk was wielded, a layer of air blades had already been generated around the axe blade, which was even sharper than ordinary blades. This assassin was injured by this, but fortunately he was agile, otherwise he would have been split in half!

"Oh~~ I was injured first, it seems that I underestimated your strength!" The assassin noticed the strength of the tomahawk in it, and continued to say to the orc in a provocative tone. The orc didn't say anything more, but swung his battle axe again and slashed at the assassin.

In terms of strength, the current orcs are much higher than the assassins, but in terms of skill, the assassins are much lighter and nimble than the orcs! It's just that the attacks of the orcs are all threatening, and the assassins have not found the flaws of the orcs to kill the orcs for the time being. The two engaged in a fierce and continuous fight, but if the orcs fought a war of attrition with the Assassins, they would not be able to draw a line! Although the Assassins could not directly hit the orcs at the vital point, they were able to strike the orcs with skill, such as slashing the orcs with the tip of a spear and hitting the orcs with sticks. These are slowly accumulating scars on the orcs' bodies, and some of the wounds are bleeding more and more! Besides, the orc's anger can't be too long, if the time has passed, or if the strength is exhausted, it needs to be restored. This also has a big negative effect on one's own physical strength, so this move is a double-edged sword.

The Assassins and the Orcs themselves knew this, so one was going to be steady, and the other was in a hurry!

The orc performed another sweep, and this time the assassin did not dodge backwards, but chose to jump upwards, jumping up and shrinking his legs upward, and the orc's axe blade swept right under his feet. Because of the Assassin's short stature, many times the orc's attack had to bend forward to reach the assassin, and the same was true of this sweep, when the orc attacked the assassin, the body bent forward and downward, and the orc's head was exactly the height of the assassin's feet when he jumped. Immediately, the Assassin pushed his feet forward, and the foot plate hit the orc in the face. Following this, the assassin jumped several meters behind, and the orc took a few steps back from the blow.

Oh~~ This seemingly unpowerful attack thwarted the orc's sharpness! The power brought out by the orc's anger just now was like a deflated balloon and became soft, and after retreating, he had to kneel down on one knee to stabilize his body. gasping for air, he struggled to get to his feet.

The Assassin also saw the change in the orc's body, and then changed from holding the spear in both hands after landing on the ground to standing up straight, holding the spear in one hand and erecting the spear on the ground, and said, "Hehe, I see what else you can do!"

The orc gritted his teeth and gasped in response, "You...... You actually underestimate me!Wow~~~" With that, the orc shouted and raised the tomahawk again, the blade of which stepped behind him and made a charged motion. When the assassin saw this, his mind immediately gathered.

I saw that the orc clenched the battle axe and swung it forward with all his might, and the axe blade hit the ground, and a shock wave was unexpectedly released! This time the shock wave was much more powerful than the previous one, and if it was hit, it would really be injured, plus the shock wave was divergent, and it was impossible to dodge, could it only be defended, hard connection?!

As I said earlier, this assassin came prepared, and when the orc used this move, the assassin was ready. As soon as the impact came out, the assassin seemed to roll backwards, giving himself a little time and space, and even fiddled with his spear with his hand a few times in the air. After landing, the spear continues to arc around the side with the swing of its wrist. The artifact was that a wind rose around the assassin, and the wind ran along the spearhead. The blast was coming!The spearhead orbited around the top of the Assassin's head, and the Assassin grabbed the spear with both hands and swept the spear forward.

"Bang~~~" The collision of the two forces made a loud sound, and the shock wave of the orcs was neutralized by the attack of the assassin, and the two forces only set off a strong wind in all directions after the collision.

The orc was no longer able to resist, and once again fell to one knee and gasped for breath, he slowly looked up at the assassin. He saw the Assassin stroking his spear with one hand, the head of the spear pointed diagonally at the ground, walking towards him step by step. He also vaguely saw that some leaves and dead grass were constantly blowing up around the assassin. After blowing, it suddenly went to the perimeter of the spear, rotating around the spear, and constantly advancing in the direction of the spearhead as it rotated. When it came to the spearhead, the leaves and dead grass rushed outward, and then scattered to the ground, waiting for the next strange wind to roll it up.

The assassin walked to a position about a meter in front of the orc and stopped, and said to the orc: "It's time to make an end! Don't worry, it will hurt!" When the orc heard him say this, he quickly replied unconvinced: "Hmph! If you want to kill, kill it! Less nonsense!" The assassin looked at the orc with cold eyes and said, "I will definitely do it! Suffer death! You orcs!" 'Wind Scar Stabbing'!!"

With that, the Assassin raised the spear above his head, and with both hands he spun the spear like a windmill! A strong wind rolled around him, and then he gathered the spear into his waist, and with a stride, the spear stabbed towards the orc's chest! The orc was not only stabbed by the spear, but also rushed forward with power around the spear, just like the air blade formed by the battle axe when the orc was angry before, and all the strength was towards the orc.

Obviously, the tip of the spear was only inserted into the orc's wound, but now the orc's whole person seemed to be blown up, and serious wounds appeared around the wound of the spear tip, and the scope of the injury continued to expand outward! What was still serious was that the spearhead of the spear did not completely pierce the orc's body, but at this time, a large hole was pierced in the orc's back, and blood sprayed out like a fountain. The orc also vomited blood from his mouth, and finally fell to the ground, dead......

There were also a few orcs who came out of the rest room, two of them were orcs who had changed shifts before, and two of them helped an injured orc out, and another was not very seriously injured, and also covered his mouth and nose, and crawled out with difficulty. However, by this time, the fire in the camp had long been extinguished, and the moon had come back to show its face.

Those with good eyesight will see the short figures standing by the extinguished fire, staring at the orcs coming out of the resting house as if waiting for their prey. He held the spear in his hand, and when he saw the orc, he showed a hateful and sinister smile on his face, and said: "Hmph, it seems that the amount of anesthetic is less! But it's okay, anyway, it's just paralyzing the limbs, and the pain can be felt!

Then, a strange wind blew nearby......

"O shaman, it looks like you won't be able to leave until noon today!" "Yes, it's foggy again, but I don't think it's as big as yesterday, and it should be gone soon!" When they woke up the next day, Al Ye and Barudo were discussing the fog and were worried about it.

However, the things that make them change their mood even more are yet to come!
