Chapter 30: The Rook Stalker
"My mount companion is still in its infancy, and its own combat power is not very strong at this stage." Yue Shen opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Don't think about it. ”
Lin Jialu didn't say anything, just nodded and went back to her place to rest.
"Is this Haoyue?" Yue Shen approached it and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to grow so big after only half a year." ”
Long Haochen also said helplessly: "It's really a good thing that it can grow so big, but it has made me poor." ”
Hearing Long Haochen's complaints, Yue Shen inexplicably felt a burst of darkness.
Although raising Sol made him not experience the fun of being a shovel officer, compared with Long Haochen, he still felt that it was more pleasant to raise Sol without spending a penny.
To Yue Shen's surprise, Haoyue seemed to be quite close to him, and was even willing to let Yue Shen touch his two heads.
"Haoyue still remembers you, Brother Yue." Long Haochen said with some emotion, "If it weren't for Brother Yue, you helped me a few times on the Knight Holy Mountain, I guess there would be no me and Haoyue now." ”
"At the time, it was just a matter of convenience." Yue Shen shook his head slightly, and after brushing Haoyue's head twice, he also found a place to rest.
Because of the presence of Lin Jialu, a magician, in the team, they are now a lot easier.
After all, Lin Jialu could scout the surrounding environment by using the Eagle Eye Technique, so that everyone else could take a break.
Because there was a possibility that he would encounter the demon clan at any time in the future, Yue Shen also took out the two spirit and demon-level knight light swords of the Holy Fire and the Burning Sun and carried them on his back, ready to enter the battle at any time.
However, to their surprise, they had been squatting here all night, not to mention the border patrol team led by the fifth-order demons, and even the Zelin Clan's Twin Sword Demons, who were supposed to be frequently roaming in the border area, didn't see it.
"Don't these demons send people to patrol?" Li Xin rubbed her eyes and couldn't help but say.
"I heard that there are a lot of people who participated in the assessment this time, maybe they were preempted by the contestants from other cities." Chen Si asked cautiously: "Otherwise, let's go a little deeper and try it, anyway, we still have Yue ......."
"Be careful! There is an enemy attack! Yue Shen and Long Haochen suddenly shouted at the same time.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they immediately cast an aura mask and wrapped the companion on their side into it.
The next moment, the ground under their feet suddenly broke, and several thick spikes poked out of the ground, piercing the aura shield that Long Haochen hastily cast in the blink of an eye.
However, at the moment when the spikes pierced through the aura shield, Haoyue at Long Haochen's feet, the head representing the light attribute, roared in his mouth, and another aura shield blocked the front of the spikes that were attacking them.
On the other hand, on Yue Shen's side, his aura mask was only cracked on the surface, and it had not been penetrated for the time being.
This is because he has cultivated to the fifth order, and all the original gaseous spiritual power in his body has been converted into liquid spiritual power, and the strength of the skills he released will also be several grades stronger than before.
However, this aura shield was only a third-order knight skill, and under the continuous poking of the spikes, it was finally broken.
As the aura shield released by Yue Shen shattered, a flash of fire and golden light flashed, cutting off those black thorns in unison.
"Rook Stalker." Yue Shen reminded.
Lin Jialu knew that Yue Shen's words were meant for herself, so she immediately raised the staff in her hand and cast the Ice Sealing Technique on the ground under their feet.
As a flash of blue light from the staff in Lin Jialu's hand fell to the ground, the ground under their feet was directly frozen into ice.
Seeing that the sneak attack could not be achieved, dozens of Luk stalkers were about to flee back to report the news, but found that the originally soft soil had turned into solid ice that was difficult to excavate.
Seeing this, Long Haochen immediately leaned next to Yue Shen with Li Xin.
"These Rook stalkers aren't my target." Yue Shen held the twin swords, "Just do it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several spikes protruded from the ice again. Immediately after, purple-black figures crawled out from under the ice, surrounding Yue Shen and the others.
This was the first time Yue Shen had seen the Demon Clan. He looked at the humanoid creatures in front of him with some curiosity.
I saw that the expressions on their faces were full of evil, their upper bodies were bare, and their lower bodies were covered with a layer of fine black scales.
The upper skin of these Rook stalkers is purple-black, and each has four slender arms.
To Yue Shen's surprise, he originally thought that those purple-black spikes were their weapons, but he didn't expect them to be their arms.
Yue Shen glanced at it, and found a few Luke people who had their arms cut off just now.
I saw that their arms were one or two less than those of the other tribesmen, and the wounds were flat and the incision was smooth, exuding the smell of burning and light.
If you count it carefully, there are about twenty of these Rook stalkers.
Even if they were all killed, they would still be a little short of reaching the assessment task indicators of Long Haochen and the others.
Because the ground was frozen, this group of Luk warriors had no chance to escape at all, so they could only climb out of the ground to face Long Haochen and the others.
However, how could the Luke clan, who only had an average third-order strength, be the opponent of Long Haochen and the others?
It didn't take long for this group of Luk warriors to be killed by Long Haochen and others.
"Thank you." Lin Jialu said next to Yue Shen.
"You're welcome." Yue Shen waved his hand, "And if you weren't for the Ice Magician, it is estimated that there would not be a few of these Luke clans left." ”
Yue Shen glanced down at the corpse of the Luke clan on the ground, "Now there are five demons left before you complete the assessment task." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jialu nodded, then left Yue Shen's side and stepped forward to take a closer look at the corpses of these demon Luke warriors.
"Be careful!" Long Haochen, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly turned his head and shouted at Lin Jialu.
While reminding Lin Jialu to pay attention, Long Haochen's body shone with golden light again, and he cast a layer of aura in front of Lin Jialu.
It's just that Long Haochen's aura shield was shattered the moment it appeared this time.
Demon Assassin!
I saw that the looming figure rushed straight in the direction of Lin Jialu after shattering the aura shield.
The speed of the demon assassin was too fast, and he rushed in front of Lin Jialu in the blink of an eye. The blades of both hands are staggered, and it seems that they want to cut off Lin Jialu.
As for Lin Jialu herself, she didn't react at all, she still maintained the posture of bending down to check the corpse of the Luke Stalker, and the expression on her face only turned pale the moment she saw the Demon Assassin appear.
"Bell!"
Just when Lin Jialu already felt that she was going to die and closed her eyes in fear, there was a piercing sound of metal hitting in her ears.
Long Haochen, who was about to use the spirit furnace to save Lin Jialu not far away, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and stopped what he was doing.
Naturally, it was Yue Shen who stopped in front of Lin Jialu. I saw that the two spirit and demon-level knight light swords in his hand were in the cross, withstanding the attack of the demon assassin.
"The Invisible of the Earth's Clan?"
