Chapter 501: The Lonely Soul (4)
PS: Thanks OLIVA305 for the tip!
As soon as the effect of Frost's Breath had passed, the corpses of a dozen shieldmen fell in front of them, and the other shieldmen seemed to know that there would be a gap between the mages casting the secret spells, and immediately sped up and pounced.
"Melissa, you go and get rid of the bidding guns in the back. β
Following the young man's command, Melissa activated the "Rapid March" effect of the Wind Boots, and the figure immediately disappeared from the ranks, and on the battlefield map, she circled the shield hand in front of her in a matter of seconds, crossed a distance of tens of meters, and appeared next to a javelinist.
The creature's perception was quite high, and Melissa had just come within a few meters of her hidden trails, when its movements suddenly paused, as if sensing danger, and then immediately fell back a few meters.
The familiar thin line appeared behind its body, and before the strings of fate could take shape, the thrower immediately changed direction and leaped out to the other side.
It was the first time that a creature had discovered the effects of the Strings of Fate and escaped, but the thin thread stretched forward at great speed, and in an instant it caught up with it and enveloped it.
Melissa knew her opponent was dead, and she figured herself out and moved towards the nearest gnome creature
The javelin-thrower, too, had a premonition of his fate, and instead of escaping, he pursed his mouth into a circle, and a short tube poked out of its mouth, and with a "poof" it spewed out a very thin spike.
Melissa's movements suddenly stopped, and spikes flew half a meter in front of her eyes. Nailed to a nearby black rock tree.
The little girl glanced faintly at the javelin-bearer, who had become a pile of broken corpses, and shrugged her nose slightly, and disappeared into the darkness again.
At this time, the people in the camp ushered in a third wave of javelin throwing. Li Ang still did not choose to make a move, but looked at the strange creature that pounced in the distance with blazing eyes, and calmly commanded his companions to meet it.
He had already seen that the strength of these creatures was not too high, the shieldman was probably in the middle of the second order, and the javelinman was close to the third order, but because the fog and darkness of the Black Forest did not have much effect on them, it was just a little troublesome.
But under the battlefield map of young people. Their advantages are not being used, and at the moment there is Melissa on the outside specifically targeting the javeliners, believing that their attacks will soon weaken. At the same time, through Cheney's large-scale secret method and the rangers' long-range strikes. The number of shieldmen has also been reduced to half, and by now there is not much suspense in the battle.
"The little unicorns think they're scary, presumably because of the disparity in numbers...... Leon thought silently.
The third wave of javelin throws was again blocked by the defenders at the front, taking advantage of this opportunity. Cheney emerged from the mountain people in the same way. The staff pointed forward, and a chain of lightning passed through the shieldmen who pounced, knocking them to the ground, and Erin unleashed an ice arrow, which killed two or three of the closest shieldmen along with the rangers' arrows.
The two casters' arcane attacks were very strong, but to be on the safe side, they could only strike between javelin attacks and then retreat immediately. Waiting for the next opportunity.
At this time, the last twenty dwarf creatures finally rushed to the front and saw the mountain people holding shields. Immediately rolling on the ground, the dagger slashed at their legs.
Boris, Yelena and a few others spun out from behind the shield and fought with the shieldman, but Boris's tall stature had to bend down if he wanted to attack this dwarf creature, which looked a bit laborious, while the others were relatively better, and with the assistance of the mountaineers and rangers, the shieldman did almost nothing.
After a while, they finally realized that these enemies were difficult to deal with, and left behind six or seven corpses and began to flee backwards, with the sound of cooing all the way quickly disappeared from people's vision, and the number of throwers on the periphery was almost halved under Melissa's fierce attack, and when they saw their kind retreating from the front, they immediately merged in one place and disappeared into the thick fog.
Melissa strictly followed the order not to leave the fifty-meter radius around Leon, and after chasing for a while, she retreated directly, while the young man was squatting on the ground, carefully observing the body of a shield hand.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the appearance of the dwarf creature is fully displayed in front of people's eyes, but the first impression is quite bad, and even makes many people feel nauseous.
They look like human children, but they are scrawny, almost a layer of skin clinging to the bones, and the black-purple meridians are clearly visible under the almost transparent skin, and the creature's hands are only four thin fingers, and the feet are like the hooves of some kind of beast, and the four short toes are covered with a thick layer of foot pads, which are very suitable for running in such an environment.
The most disgusting part is completely concentrated in the heads, which are disproportionate to the body, there is no hair on the top of their heads, but a layer of fleshy thorn-like protrusions, the white eyeballs under the eyelids seem to have no pupils, and the open mouth is covered with a layer of sharp teeth, and the ears are more than twice the size of ordinary people, which is simply unforgettable for a long time at a glance.
Quite a few people left the corpse as soon as they saw it, but the three girls who were able to hold out the longest, including Fiona, of course, the other two were Melissa, who didn't care about it at all, and Irene, who had a learning attitude and wanted to increase her knowledge.
Leon also stood up, feeling that in addition to the creature's strange origin, the battle seemed to be a little too easy and completely different from his expectations.
Suddenly, a voice came to the young man's head.
"You ...... You guys are strong. β
It's a little unicorn! And this creature appeared on the battlefield map that had not yet been discovered, less than forty or fifty meters to the east.
Some people noticed his abnormality, and Leon immediately waved his hand to say that he didn't have to worry, and then said: "Everyone wait for me, Katarina, you are in charge of guarding, Erin, you come with me." β
Leon called out to Erin because she was the most knowledgeable of the men, and she might have learned something from the injuries on the young unicorn and the communication between them, but as he led the girl to the east, the little unicorn's somewhat hurried voice rang out again.
"No...... Don't bring any other humans along, I'...... I'll be scared. β
Leon stopped and whispered to Erin, "I'm sorry, you go back first, I have to do this alone." β
"Okay, but you'll have to explain to me what you've done when you get back," the curious mage girl said and walked back to the group.
Leon nodded to her, turned and walked on.
This time the other party did not retreat, so soon he saw the young unicorn with a glimmer on his body again, and the young man tried to maintain a gentle tone and said, "Didn't you go far?"
"No, I'm worried that you'll be in danger, so I've been hiding nearby," the little unicorn's mind fluctuated slightly, "but I didn't expect you to be so strong." β
"What do you mean...... Are you worried about me?" Leon wondered, wondering why the creature was so worried about himself...... Or rather, goodwill.
"Yes...... Yes. β
"Why?" Leon thought for a moment, and finally asked, "Actually, humans should be dangerous creatures to you, aren't they?"
"Mom...... Also said. β
At the mention of the word "mother", the little unicorn's mind began to fluctuate again, and it was only after a moment that it recovered from its silence.
"But, but I don't know why, I always feel that there is something about you that makes me feel very close, like my mother......"
"Huh?" Leon was stunned, and immediately countless thoughts came to him.
"Could it be that my domineering aura has finally appeared, and since then it has the trait of attracting all kinds of powerful creatures, so that they will get close to me as soon as they meet?"
As soon as the idea came to him, the self-aware young man threw it away, and then he began to think, "Or maybe I've been exposed to something related to its mother along the way?"
β...... No," he thought for a long time, but he thought it was unlikely, and his mind jumped to the heads of the centaurs in the manor.
"Could it be that centaurs and unicorns are close relatives, and I have their scent on me, so I attract little unicorns?"
β...... How could I have such a stupid idea?"
He couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and he almost dizzy himself, so he could only try to ask, "You said I smell like your mother?"
The unicorn's tone began to fluctuate again, "No, there are two humans who smell like me scared......"
"Scared?" one of the flashes that flashed in Leon's mind was Fiona, the aura of this powerful dark creature was indeed enough to terrify a minor divine creature.
And the other estimate is Sophia, she now has some dark power in her body, and it is estimated that she can also be perceived by the other party.
"Don't be afraid," Leon said, "they are my companions, they are very good people like me, and they will not hurt you, and besides, you just saw it, they are driving away those bad creatures with me, right?"
"Like...... Yes," the unicorn's affection seemed to slowly subside, "then IγI believe in you." β
It seems that the little unicorn is indeed not deeply involved in the world and is quite naΓ―ve, and with such an excuse, it can make him believe that even Li Ang, who speaks, is a little uncomfortable.
"Were you fighting these bad creatures before?" he asked instead.
"Yes!" the other party immediately became a little nervous, "they smell bad, so I hate them." β
"Actually, it's nothing, those creatures are weak, if you muster up the courage, you can do it like we do, then you don't have to hide in Tibet, right?"
"No...... You don't know, they're just the outermost ones, and the further you go that way, the stronger they become, that's why I'm afraid. β
The little unicorn also deliberately waved its head to give Leon a hint of the direction in its mouth, and when the young man looked over, he realized that the direction the other party was pointing in was exactly the place where he was going to find the sign of the heroic soul.
