Chapter 478: The Black Forest (27)
If it was a stone that fell naturally, it was not a threat to the mountain people at all, but the speed of these stones was quite fast, and it made a dull sound that pierced the air, and at a glance, it was clear that some kind of creature with strong arms hidden in the canopy threw it with all its might.
Of course, Leon knew what was going on, and he shouted as he quickly closed the distance: "It's an ape in the tree! Caterina goes back to protect the back row! Cheney attacks the boar with all his might, and Yelena goes to the right to fill Caterina's position!"
At this time, the first wave of stones had fallen, and the mountain people did not need to command, they automatically formed a human wall to block the casters and rangers behind them, they held long swords, and watched the direction of the stone attack with all their attention, and then cut down with a sword.
A series of metal clashing sounds, and the stones shattered under the sharp weapons, but this direct impact caused the mountain people's weapons to swing backwards, and most of the mountain people's arms were numb, so you can imagine how strong the power of the stones is.
Moreover, the number of stones in the first wave exceeded the number of mountain people, and they immediately withdrew their long swords and swung them again, and after two or three times, it was obvious that some of them were already struggling.
But they knew their duty, at this time the battle was going on in front of the team, and it was impossible to end it in a few minutes, in this case, it would be more dangerous for the mages and elves behind them to leave the team to avoid the stones, so the mountain people gritted their teeth and struggled to persevere, and some people even didn't have time to raise their swords, and even used their bodies to meet the flying stones.
One of the mountain people staggered back as soon as he was hit in the shoulder, spurting out a mouthful of blood. But he immediately stopped, straightened up and stood back again. In addition to him, several people did the same with the stones that were too late to split. With their efforts, they finally blocked all the attacks that came from coming.
However, the second wave of attacks flew out of the canopy again, and at this moment most of the mountain people were already lightly or seriously injured, and many of them even began to curl their weapons in their hands, especially the number of stones was quite dense, and it was estimated that even if they used their bodies to block again, they could only end up being smashed to death.
To be honest, Leon can be said to be surrounded by slightly soft soil along the way. I don't know where these apes got so many hard stones to use as long-range attack weapons, and at the same time, they chose the timing well, and suddenly put the rear of the human team in a crisis.
Fortunately, Caterina arrived in time. She exclaimed, "Give it to me in the middle! You are in a group of five, attacking in concert on both sides,"
Then the girl rushed forward a few meters, opening up the distance between her teammates and her teammates. Next, she raised her shield. He slapped at the flying rocks.
After a dull thud, at least a dozen hard stones were reduced to powder under the slam of her shield. Before she could withdraw her shield, a flash of light instantly appeared from her waist, slashing across a meter or two in front of her, and shattering the covered stones as well.
The ape's attacks came from several canopies at once, so the angles were tricky, and some of the rocks flew on either side outside of Katarina's range, only to be blocked by the mountaineers who were struggling to attack.
The presence of the knight maiden here greatly relieves the pressure on the mountain people. And with her defense, she completely ignored the attack power of the stones, and firmly held the rear of the team. And yet at this very moment. A larger third wave of attacks appeared in the canopy.
However, Leon had already arrived, and such an attack was very threatening to the mountain people, but there was no need for the young man to treat it at all, he and Caterina were each in charge of one side, and just a few whirlwind slashes could easily defuse the dense stones.
"Katarina, we ......"
The young man was going to take advantage of the interval between the ape attacks to take Caterina with him to teach them an indelible lesson, but the canopy fell silent and there was no movement.
“...... !"
Leon had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but cursed in his heart, because he knew that the apes had retreated, and he couldn't help but be quite annoyed by the cunning of these creatures.
The apes must have followed the neighborhood all the way to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, but they knew that Leon was very strong, and they saw the fate of the spiny-barked boar and the grizzly bear, so they didn't dare to show their heads at all, and just used bricks to sneak attack while humans were fighting against the spiny-barked boar.
And once the ape found that the attack was difficult to work, he immediately retreated, not giving Li Ang and the others a chance to contact at all, as long as they were not suddenly approached, with the natural ability of the ape, it was impossible to catch up in the vast forest.
The young man looked deep into the woods, and the hand that clung to the hilt of his sword slowly released after a while, and then took the Immortal Vanguard back.
At this time, the battle with the spiny boar on the other side was also coming to an end, except for the five or six that escaped, all the corpses were lying on the ground, and those huge bodies were like small mountains, even if they had fought twice, the size and weight of the spiny boar still amazed these humans.
Li Ang walked towards the mountain people and looked at their injuries one by one, but fortunately, most of them were not very strict, only one of them had a broken arm bone, and his arm was hanging limply beside him.
If you don't want to wait for this kind of injury to heal naturally, you need an intermediate or above alchemy potion or healing magic to recover quickly, Li Ang didn't think about it, and directly took out Kaka's special recovery potion and handed it to the other party.
The mountain people knew that this kind of potion was more valuable during the battle on the way into the Black Forest, and Li Ang didn't have a few with him this time, so he hurriedly waved his other hand and said, "My lord, don't waste this kind of small injury, I ...... it."
Leon stretched out his hand and didn't move, "You don't need to think about other things, drink it, the battle behind will require the strength of each and every one of you." ”
After saying this, the young man directly put the potion in the mountain man's hand, and walked out first, ignoring his next reaction.
For more than an hour, they were attacked by different kinds of beasts, but Leon remained the spearhead, galloping through the attacks of spiny boars, grizzly bears, or spotted leopards, and inflicting massive damage on these beasts with his companions. However, Caterina did not participate directly in the battle as he commanded, but followed at the back of the group, ready to respond to the sneak attack of the apes.
But the apes never appeared again, and even Cheney was wondering if these creatures had given up the idea of revenge after seeing their strength, but Leon didn't think so, he had a hunch that the apes would definitely appear again, and probably in a different way. (To be continued......)
