I think I've already said that the sabertooth mountain is a relatively steep mountain, and there is only one winding road at the foot of the mountain to the top. It's a mountain road that is not at all wide, and only about six or seven people can walk side by side. On the left side of the trail are towering cliffs, while on the right, there are steep cliffs. As we got higher and higher, there were more and more artificial traces on the mountain road, such as the rudimentary railings on the edge of the cliffs, or the marks of horse-drawn carriages on the ground.

Since we set foot on the trail, there have been noticeably fewer beasts, replaced by those who are uniformly called "saber-toothed bandits". These are strong, fierce-looking criminals, usually between eight and ten. Unlike the other opponents we encountered, the word (berserk) was circled in parentheses after the soul mark on their heads, which read "Sabertooth Bandit". When I first met them, I thought it should be similar to the (chief) mark after the name of the rabid dog, which should mean some of their characteristics. Sure enough, their attacks were far more ferocious and powerful than beasts of the same level, and their movements were faster. At the same level, I think it's hard for us to beat them one-on-one.

Fortunately, the loose robbers didn't seem to like group action, and they wandered aimlessly along the mountain paths, only shouting when we got closer: "Leave your purse, stupid fellow!" Or "This is not the place for you, daredevil!" "Then he swung his weapon at us. Most of the time they fought alone, sometimes in two, and only rarely with three of them attacking us together.

Despite their numerical superiority, their brutal and heroic way of fighting still struggled for us. I believe that if they had swarmed like the beasts down the mountain, we would have fled long ago. But for some reason, they didn't seem to want to do it at all, and they didn't even lift their eyelids when they saw their accomplices being beaten to death by us. I guess it's a bunch of chivalrous lunatics who think it's immoral to meddle in other people's battles, but don't think it's going to be doomed to themselves.

A "parry", I used my sword to block the blade of a robber slashing at me, and then a backhand "slash", cutting off his life for twenty-seven points. When I staggered, I gave him a "slam" to the head in time, and when he was dizzy and slow, I pierced his lower abdomen with a "straight stab". He let out a wail and immediately fell to the ground and died. At this time, my fighting spirit has almost bottomed out.

After this period of non-stop fighting, I gradually found some experience in using combat techniques and found the rhythm of the battle. I've found that the previous kind of sword return fighting, which doesn't follow the technique of moves and is purely instinctive, is more flexible and flexible, but it is not as effective as the damage caused by the reasonable application of skills. The combination of various skills allows me to take the initiative in battle and defeat my opponents more easily. For example, this time, in the face of an outlaw of the same level, I killed him on the spot after only half of my life. If you still fight each other hard with one sword and one sword as before, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to succeed so easily.

If I could use the skills consistently, my record would definitely be much more remarkable than it is now. However, these special combat techniques cannot be used endlessly. If you want to use it again, you have to regain control of your body's balance and learn to use the force correctly, which takes a while to adjust, which is known as the "skill cooldown" time.

On top of that, I have to use a skill that requires a certain amount of fighting energy - in fact, it's an ability that everyone has that comes from within the body, lurking in our bones, muscles, and blood. With training, we can make the most of it and let it help our bodies generate strength that ordinary people can't match. Powerful warriors can even condense them into entities, killing and wounding enemies with only their fighting spirit.

Like the "magic" that gathers in the caster's body, the "Dou Qi" is also not an inexhaustible source of cheap energy. When the "Dou Qi" in a warrior's body is exhausted, his body will not be able to withstand many difficult fighting techniques, and can only fight like an ordinary strong man, until our body is rested, and the "Dou Qi" will gradually re-condense. According to my pitiful fighting spirit, it only takes five or six ordinary skills to be released in a row to consume it.

"Don't squeeze me out! I'm about to fall~~~~~~" String Song Yayi let out a terrified scream behind me, his ghostly scream nearly bursting my eardrums.

While besieging the beasts below, Grace and his "combo" skills have created a record to be proud of - he doesn't have to think about accuracy at such close range, and this unconventional ranger's ability to kill at close range is amazing.

But as soon as we walked up the mountain, the helpless fear of heights immediately turned him into a person who could not be counted on at all. Now, for example, the distance between him and the cliff is at least enough for a bison to run calmly, but he looks as pale as a large squid fish that has just been sprayed with ink, and his hands and feet are weak, and his expression is desperate, as if he has fallen off the cliff and died.

"I'm so annoyed, I'll stuff this thing in your stomach and kick you down if you don't stop screaming!" The magician beside him, Fei Yin, immediately condensed a thick and sharp ice edge in his left hand, and shouted threateningly at the elven ranger.

String Ge Yayi's lips moved weakly, and he looked at Fei Yin's fierce expression (of course, what he saw might be a hideous, terrifying, and very vague mass of irregular polyhedra), and then looked back at the cliff, swallowed dryly, and finally said nothing.

In the contest between the beautiful sorceress and the abyssal land, the sorceress easily won with overwhelming strength and became the object of more fear.

The shrinking attack power of String Song Yayi directly led to Feyine becoming the only ranged attacker in our adventurous team who could make a difference - while the Priest also had some ranged attacks, Longbow Shooting Sun was clearly more keen on the role of the Berserker. Fei Yin is the highest-ranking person among us, but the damage she does is not outstanding. Although she has learned a lot of large-area killing spells, she is still more enthusiastic about the ice type of primary magic "Ice Arrow". This spell, like "Fire Bomb" and "Electric Shock", is the first simple spell that every mage learns, and although it is not very lethal, it can freeze the movement of the arrow victim with cold air, making them slow down.

Originally, she could have used higher-level spells to kill enemies, but she had good reasons not to:

"Magic potions are expensive!"

……

The saber-toothed robbers' lair was built in a clearing near the top of the mountain, facing the mountain road, backed by the peak, and on the side of the cliff it was blocked by a wooden wall made of tall cedar trees. Within the wooden walls, several wooden houses were scattered around, and many bandits wandered outside in groups.

In addition to the "Sabertooth Bandits" with short knives that we are all familiar with, there are also "Sabertooth Rangers" who wield bows and arrows, "Sabertooth Mages" who wear cloth robes and hold staffs, and "Sabertooth Assassins" who hide in the dark with daggers, all of which are marked with the word (berserk) behind their names. These "saber-toothed assassins" are especially difficult to deal with, we often have to get close to find their sneaky figures, and on a few occasions during the battle, their sudden appearance also disrupted the rhythm of our battles, and put us in danger on several occasions.

Finally we came to the great hut on the inside of the robber's lair, and when we looked in the distance, we could see a stout fellow sitting in the room, much taller than the average robber, with the words "Leader of the Saber-toothed Robbers, Ridardis (Chief)" on his head, and he was the target of our trip. Some of the bandits were guarding their leader in the house, and we didn't dare get too close, so we couldn't see clearly.

"You stay here first, and I'll go in and explore the way." The orc wanderer Yangtze River Delta volunteered. He pulled out his dagger and walked slowly to the cabin. As soon as he took two steps, his tall, fat body suddenly melted out of thin air like a puff of smoke. It was only when we looked very closely that we could faintly see a round and billowing mist of human form creeping towards the house.

Even though I was already familiar with the professional skills of our half-orc companions, I was amazed by the extraordinary ability to successfully stage a "Great Transformation of the Living" under the gaze of eight pairs of eyes. You know, for his size, it's twice as difficult for him to use this technique as other ordinary wanderers.

And when he managed to touch the cabin, the admiration in my heart immediately escalated into worship - this big fat man was not stuck in the door? How did he do it?!

Soon, the figure of the orc wanderer reappeared outside the door. As soon as he showed his figure, he immediately hurried towards us, with a frightened expression on his face.

"What a hang...... "He said to us, wiping the cold sweat from the cold...... He kept staring at me before I could touch the leader, and I thought I was discovered, but luckily I slipped away quickly......"

As we know, the "stealth" technique of the wanderer, while ingenious, is not completely untraceable. In many cases, they will also reveal some flaws that can be discovered by the enemy. If your opponent is a much higher level than you, your chances of being spotted will increase dramatically. As a result, the most sophisticated loiterers will not stay in one position for long periods of time when they are in hiding, but will avoid the detection of their opponents by constantly moving.

"There are six people in the house...... "Yangtze River Delta told us in detail what he had detected," ...... There was a robber by the wall and in the center of the room, an assassin in the left and right corners, and a mage standing beside the bandit leader. The leader is a level 12 warrior and looks very difficult to deal with. ”

The words of the Yangtze River Delta make us look at each other. This is not good news, although all the way here, I and the string song Yayi have been promoted to level nine, and the longbow shooting sun is already a seventh-level priest, but compared to this group of bandits, our level is still not advantageous, even when it is five against five, it is quite difficult, and now with less fighting, the chance is smaller, not to mention that the other party also has a high-level leader warrior.

The female magician Fei Yin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked at us: "It seems that the problem is serious, does anyone have any good advice?" ”

"I have a good idea...... "Immediately, the fierce dwarven priest Longbow Shooting Sun shouted in a thick voice, "...... We rush in and kill them all! ”

Oh, of course. Along the way, the paranoid battle maniac never came up with a second idea.

Fei Yin frowned tightly, and I could seem to see a few blue-black veins looming on her forehead.

"Sounds like a great idea......" Her voice was gentle and graceful, with a hint of joy, sounding as if she had happily accepted the idea. However, for this extremely abnormal mood change (short for female magician, although I don't recommend you call it to her face), this strange gentleness always has a layer of tyrannical murderous aura hidden in it.

“…… Tell us how you plan to implement this plan? She asked at the longbow shooting the sun.

Longbow Shooting Sun obviously didn't realize what kind of danger he was facing, but he actually thought seriously for a moment, and then said his plan very seriously:

"Two steps, first, we rush in; Second, kill them all! ”

Silence, dangerous silence......

An angry aura seemed to be pouring out of Fei Yin's body, like a tangible substance, piercing my skin with pain. Even though I didn't know anything about magic, I seemed to feel the aura of magic in the air around me become extremely unstable.

"Ah......h Then, the emotionally broken sorceress found the best way for her to vent her anger:

“…… You idiot, I knew you would say that! It's an unforgivable sin to make such a bad joke when others are thinking hard! We all know you're psychopathic, but we didn't expect you to be perverted to such an extent! Watch me punish you murderer in the place of the moon, ah......"

Fei Yin's hands rained down on the face of the longbow shooting sun, and the slender and sharp nails immediately showed the great power of the women's exclusive weapon. Although the longbow didn't take much of a loss of health from Fei Yin's attack, the splatters of blood and miserable wails always made it seem that the actual damage he took was far worse than it seemed.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xian Ge Yayi couldn't see the actual situation clearly, so he could only pull the Yangtze River Delta and ask curiously.

"Hmm...... How so? Forbidden Thousand Two Hundred and Eleventh Style, Eight Childish Girls, True Big Dipper Hundred Split Fist, Platinum Star Ola Ola Burst Fist...... Realize it for yourself! The Yangtze River Delta covered his eyes with his right hand, and lowered his head as if he couldn't bear to see it, and said meaningfully to the strings.

"Oh......" There was obviously a deep tacit understanding between these two people that I couldn't understand, and Xian Ge Yayi immediately sighed in a sudden understanding, and shook his head with a sad face.

I looked blank in the eyes of the Yangtze River Delta, and he seemed to feel very strange: "Why, Jeff, you don't understand what I'm talking about?" ”

…… I nodded honestly.

"Hey, young man, you still have a lot to learn......" The Yangtze River Delta immediately patted me on the shoulder, and then raised his head forward, looking at the white clouds in the distance, and there seemed to be some complicated emotions flowing in his eyes:

“…… Generation gap, generation gap......"

The last scream came from the mouth of the longbow to the sun, and he lay straight on the ground, his face covered in blood. Although we all know that this level of skin trauma only takes a moment to heal, his tragic situation still terrifies the rest of us.

"Little Xianzi, do you have any ideas?" The mage Fei Yin stepped on the head of the dwarven priest with one foot and pointed at the elven ranger and asked.

The tragic end of "I ......" longbow shooting the sun made Xian Ge Yayi have to think carefully about his answer. He thought for a moment, then said:

“…… I think we should despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, choose a strategic shift without an advantage on the frontal battlefield, accumulate strength, and choose the right time to fight again. So, let's ......" He coughed lightly, straightened his chest, nodded confidently, and suddenly bowed up and nodded and rushed to Fei Yin's side, and said flatteringly: "...... Otherwise, go back first and come back tomorrow to complete this mission? ”

"Hmm......" Listening to the words of Xian Ge Yayi, Fei Yin nodded lightly. Seeing this, Xian Ge Yayi let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead. Just when he thought he was going through the catastrophe......

"Nonsense! also said that others are **** adventurous, and you are purely a restoration of **** capitulationism. We've all come here, and we haven't got anything of value, isn't it for nothing? How do I educate you? Thieves don't go empty, thieves don't go empty, you know? Fei Yinliu's eyebrows were raised, and she kicked the elf who thought she was clever to the side.

The kicked elven ranger was lying on the ground rubbing his ass, still complaining softly; "But we're not thieves......"

"I have a suggestion......" Before Fei Yin could ask a question, the Yangtze River Delta, who was standing aside and witnessed the whole process, immediately took the initiative to speak, "...... We can lure the robber out of the door first. I've seen him move around the inside, and when he's furthest out, he'll walk near the door, and if he uses a ranged attack, he probably won't attract anyone else in the house. Kill him and there will only be five people left in the house, I can knock out the bandit leader with a stuffy stick first, you go and kill the others first, it is best to kill one or two in the meantime, and the rest may not be able to fight. ”

Fei Yin thought about it carefully and felt that this idea was not very feasible: "At this time, we can only kill one person at most, and it is the mage with the lowest defense. If the bandit leader comes to his senses, we may not be able to stop it. His vertigo is too short a short time, if only you could make him faint a little longer. ”

The orc wanderer spread his hands: "No way, the cooldown time of the Stuffy Stick is already longer than the duration of his stun, and it can only be used in the stealth state." Unless he hacks me to death, he can hold him back a little longer. ”

"Then there is no way......" The Yangtze River Delta's answer made Fei Yin a little helpless. The sorceress looked into the room reluctantly, and stamped her foot angrily.

Seeing that the battle plan was blocked, I suddenly remembered something and said, "That...... If it's just to restrain the leader of the thieves, I might be able to help. ”

"You?" Fei Yin's eyes lit up and she looked at me with inquiring eyes. Being stared at like this by this emotional money worshipper really made me a little frightened.

"I've learned a skill myself, which is to hit an opponent with a shield that can stun him about ......" I estimated a little with the unit of time that is popular among the Skywaders," ...... About five seconds......"

"Enough, enough!" Before I could finish speaking, the Yangtze River Delta immediately cheered, "Until then, I can use the Refraction Potion to become invisible again, and the cooldown time for the Stuffy Stick is also up." ”

"But......" I added with some hesitation, "...... If I want a shield strike, I have to go to the bandit leader's side. There are a lot of people in the house, and it's not easy to rush over......" Speaking of which, I looked at the Yangtze River Delta:

“…… I'm not a wanderer, so I don't know how to stealth......"

"This problem is not difficult to solve......" Unexpectedly, Fei Yin actually said, "...... Don't worry, it's just for me......"
