Chapter 525: A Dangerous Journey (2)
"Okay...... You wanted to bring us here, and you kept it a secret from me along the way," the girl stood aside, biting her lip and glancing at Leon, thinking, "I was joking with you a few hours ago to let you discover a few more ruins...... You can even resist not suing me?"
“...... No wonder he laughed so cunningly at the time!" The girl snorted heavily in her heart, "This person is the most annoying!"
However, although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't hold back her face and smiled quite happily.
When Leon saw Erin's expression, he could guess some part of her thoughts, and he suddenly felt quite helpless.
While maps can indicate the location and general information of the ruins, it is necessary to obtain relevant information and knowledge first. And this time it was originally for the Heroic Soul equipment, and there was no warning at all before the ruins were discovered, and even the map was only shown after stepping into the ruins, so how could it be that he did it on purpose?
Leon looked at Caterina and Melissa again, and saw that their expressions were similar to Erin's, and they probably all thought that he had come specifically for the ruins, and the young man sighed and gave up the idea of justification.
Whether it was Caterina, Erin, and Melissa, who had been with him for a long time, or other companions who had joined later, in fact, no one would have believed that if he didn't have a clear purpose, he would have walked all the way straight over, and then happened to encounter an undiscovered ruin, so he knew that even if he defended, it was useless.
"It's good to keep a little mystery...... "The young man can only comfort himself.
Cheney sensitively noticed the interlacing of glances between the young nobleman and the three young girls, and suddenly a thought rose in his heart that even he couldn't believe - "Is it?" He already knew there was a relic here?"
Leon's gaze swept over the face of the veteran mercenary, knowing that he couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise he wouldn't know what thoughts would come to them after a long time.
"It doesn't matter if anyone here has ever found out. One thing to remember - our purpose is not to come for the ruins, so this is not our first goal. ”
When these words were spoken, many people nodded slightly, and even Erin's expression gradually calmed down.
"It's not too early, let's go inside," Leon said in a calm tone, "Be careful." Get ready for battle!"
Soon everyone was on the stone pavement, and they were on guard. The surrounding trees became more and more scarce, replaced by stone pillars of uniform thickness. The pillars are more or less covered in green moss, and the exposed parts are slightly yellowish and incomplete, showing a mottled color with a sense of historical vicissitudes.
Go forward again. There are more and more similar stone pillars. They are spread on both sides of the road, and a considerable number of them have fallen to the ground, and very few have been able to remain in their original state.
At this time, large shadows began to appear in the fog on both sides, and Li Ang had taken people over to check them, all of them were stone buildings, but they were quite badly damaged, and it was impossible to judge what they looked like at the beginning by the remaining parts alone.
Erin is especially sorry for this, because if she can keep it as it is. Maybe she'll be able to tell the age of the ruins and deduce something else.
Then the bluestone road gradually widened. Erin looked left and right and said, "This road should be the main road, if you go further, you may be able to reach an area similar to the square." ”
Leon nodded, as the feedback from the battlefield map was pretty much the same. And, at the same time, there is another kind of feedback.
"Enemy attack!" he said, "Katarina!
"Pay attention to the undead dolls on both sides!" he said, glanced around, and his face became stern, "There are enemies on all sides, kill the minotaur first, and then we will rush forward!"
The speed of the minotaur was very fast, and the young man's voice fell for less than a few seconds, and two tall figures appeared from the thick fog, and they leaned down, lowered their heads, and galloped towards the human.
This is the Minotaur's savage dash ability, which uses explosive force to drive a heavy body to rush forward, and the enemy will first receive piercing damage from the two hard horns on the minotaur's head, and then will take powerful impact damage, and may even be directly torn to pieces.
As soon as Leon's prompt appeared, Caterina activated all of her protective skills, and then let out two angry roars from the middle of the team, and everyone's bodies were covered with layers of fluctuations.
The girl strode forward, knowing that she was at the vanguard of the group, not only defending herself against enemy attacks, but also trying to keep moving as fast as she could.
A minotaur approached in the blink of an eye, and even though it was running forward with its head down, its height almost exceeded the height of the maiden. Caterina raised her shield in front of her to block the minotaur's charge, but she was forced back a few steps back with the sharp sound of the bull's horns cutting across the shield, but she immediately steadied herself, raised her sword and said, "Convicted!"
The conviction rippled over the other minotaur, and Caterina swung her shield at it.
There was a muffled "bang", and the impact of the shield slam combined with the effect of the conviction immediately caused the top of the minotaur's head to bloom, and when he took a few steps back and raised his head, it was obvious that wisps of blood could be seen flowing down from the top of his head.
At this moment, the first minotaur strode back, and picked up the two-handed axe to slash hard, but as soon as it raised the axe, five or six long arrows flashed through the air, and all of them hit its body, and even one of them was directly stuck in the throat.
The minotaur let out a cry of pain, and although the two-handed axe still slashed down, the force was much less.
Caterina blocked the attack with her shield, and with a swing of her long sword, a semicircular sword aura appeared in front of her.
The arc slashed through the minotaur's lower abdomen, and not only that, but another minotaur who was rushing over was also affected, and it had a convicting effect on its body, and it was seriously injured.
Caterina took the opportunity to raise her shield and slammed the arrow stuck in the minotaur's throat into its body, then crossed the shield to block another minotaur's slash.
"Poof". The first minotaur to rush towards him fell to the ground, and the minotaur whose axe was blocked suddenly spread his large hand holding the weapon and slowly fell to the ground.
Hilarily withdrew her hand. He looked down again and counted the remaining venom needles, and a wave of melancholy welled up in his heart.
The two minotaurs were killed almost without any effect, and Caterina stepped over their corpses and continued to rush forward.
"The undead dolls on the left are approaching, and there are more than two hundred, including three Fallen Wizards!"
After Leon said this, he thought about it for no more than a second or two. Then he said, "You keep moving, Fiona guards the back row, I'll try to kill them!"
If there are no other enemies. It's not a problem to deal with these little things, but at this moment, there are enemies all around, and the undead doll that can be resurrected indefinitely has become a big trouble, especially Melissa's injuries have not yet healed. Leon decided to try it while the enemy from the other direction was still approaching.
"No!" Erin grabbed him. She was a little unexpected. Leon almost brought down the mage girl with a weak physique.
"What?" Leon asked immediately as he grabbed Erin with his backhand.
"There are very few trees here...... "As if to protect the young man's face, the girl said in a very low voice.
Then Erin said loudly, "Cheney, let's attack together!"
"Okay, Miss Irene!"
Bursting fireballs flew out from the tip of Cheney's staff, and then two fireballs flew out of the girl's hand, one after the other.
I have to say that in this kind of occasion, which is not afraid of causing forest fires, flames are a sharp weapon against immortal dolls. In particular, the range of the exploding fireball was even more effective against these dense dwarf creatures, and at least thirty-four undead dolls were directly killed under the repeated explosions. Those who were lucky not to die were also covered in flames, and soon fell to the ground.
Although Erin was still unable to learn the secret method of the Five Rings, she only cast two fireball spells, but the power was obviously stronger than before, and she also achieved quite good results.
The number of killings in this round of attacks was almost a hundred, and even one of the Fallen Wizards was engulfed in flames because he couldn't dodge, and finally turned to ashes.
"That's good!" Leon's tone was full of appreciation, but he was secretly reflecting in his heart, "...... Am I confused about fighting wars these days? I still need to be reminded of this kind of thing?"
But the dwarf creatures should no longer be a problem, and the morale of the people was boosted, and they immediately scurried forward after Katarina.
Then four more minotaurs appeared, and Caterina was about to rush over, but Leon immediately shouted: "Caterina, go to the right side, there are five resentful banshees!
"Boris go to the front, remote support!"
The knight girl immediately pulled out and came to the far right of the line.
Sure enough, five figures floating in mid-air appeared from the mist not far away, this creature they had seen in the ruins of the castle before, and had learned the power of the "Banshee's Howl", and they really had to guard against it. Right now, only Katarina's divine skills were most effective against these darker creatures, but Leon also held a bottle of Divine Sea Potion in his hand as insurance.
The floating banshee was extremely fast, and Caterina immediately raised her long sword and said, "Group Holy Strike Technique!"
Five rays of divine light descended from the sky and landed on the banshee's body, and they stopped their bodies and let out a terrible cry in the air.
There were three mountain people at the front of them, and immediately there was a tingle in their minds, and they knelt on the ground with a few "poofs" - the resentful spirit banshee could bring such an effect just by the sound of pain, and it was conceivable what kind of damage it would bring to these low-level mountain people if they let out the banshee howl together.
Caterina unleashed the Crowd Strike spell again, a blow that made the banshee's form fade so faint that two of them had disappeared without a trace. Then she exerted her strength again, using three single holy strikes to defeat the remaining banshees, and then rushed back to the front of the group.
At this time, Boris was contending with a minotaur, and the other three minotaurs had fallen to the ground, with many arrows stuck in their bodies, as well as the traces left by the ice arrows.
Boris had just dodged the Minotaur's axe and immediately sprang to the other side, striking the tall creature in the ribs. The minotaur let out a painful cry, holding its ribs in one hand and swinging its two-handed axe in the other, but it didn't expect Caterina to launch a surprise attack directly to its side, and a sword slashed through its throat.
Leaving behind the corpses of several minotaurs, the people walked forward again. (To be continued......)
