312. Ambush
In the icy rain, the headhunter woke up from his initial panic, raised his scimitar in his hand, and slashed it down at Roy's chest.
Behind the headhunter leader, a great demon phantage holding a scythe appeared in his hand, and the big demon also raised the scythe high at this time, maintaining the same movement as the headhunter captain, and slashed down towards Roy's body.
In an instant, three ice shields were enveloped Roy's body, and Roy raised the scepter that emitted holy light in his hand at the same time, holding the headhunter's scimitar against him.
The Great Demon in the Illusory Shadow slashed the giant scythe down, and the moment it touched Roy, the scythe instantly condensed into a solid entity......
The giant scythe slashed at Roy's head, splitting the hard leather helmet on his head, but before the blade of the scythe touched Roy, it was dispelled by the holy light gushing out of his body, and even the phantom behind the headhunter became dim and almost transparent.
Roy only felt a heavy blow to the head, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
Firmly held by Claire, who rushed up from behind, the headhunter snatched half a step forward, picked off the long dagger in Claire's hand, and stabbed the two with a scimitar.
……
This is the absolute crushing of ordinary fighters by a one-turn warrior in terms of strength.
Although Roy is a priest and has some magic skills, he is weaker than the headhunter in terms of strength and speed......
What's more important is that Roy has not been able to grasp his own momentum, and the headhunter captain has just burst out of the power of 'potential' to give Roy a head-on blow.
When the scimitar stabs the ice shield, it slows down a bit.
Roy also had a Book of Judgment hanging from his left arm, and he held it horizontally in front of him, fending off the pursuit of the Headhunter......
The headhunter found that Roy's strength was not as good as his own, and when the scimitar pressed the scepter, he took the opportunity to crash into Roy with his shoulder, and behind Roy was Claire, and the scepter in his hand was pressed by the scimitar, and there was no way to avoid it.
The headhunter captain's shoulder pads with iron thorns just hit Roy's shoulder, and with just a full impact, Roy and Claire both fell backwards at the same time, and the two rolled together in embarrassment.
Although the magic pattern structure on Roy's body was fully activated, Roy was still unable to resist the impact of the headhunter with the blessing of these reinforcement effects......
Roy struggled to get up from the muddy water after rolling a few laps on the waterlogged grass.
Claire was also covered in mud......
The headhunter rushed at Roy in the muddy water, ready to make up for him and Claire, and easily deal with the two of them before dealing with the giant bear.
At this time, Sabrina and Woods were already entangled with the headhunters, and Woods's huge body was in front.
Gripping the Seruki sword, Sabrina slashed a headhunter backwards......
Only Roy's side looked dangerous.
……
The headhunter rushed up to mend the knife, and when the scimitar slashed down, he was once again blocked by the Book of Judgment.
Roy hurriedly recited a spell......
The headhunter obviously didn't understand what Roy was saying, and he had never fought a priest before, so he lacked experience in this area.
He was visibly slow to react to Roy's spell.
By the time he realized that something was wrong, a small hammer of holy light had already appeared in front of him, and that little hammer had flown out of the Book of Judgment.
And at this moment, the headhunter captain and Roy are close at hand, and the moment the hammer flies out, it is destined that he will be difficult to dodge.
He only had time to turn sideways to avoid the chest and head point, and the small hammer smashed straight into the shoulder of the headhunter......
The shoulder armor with sharp spikes on his shoulder was hammered to pieces, and the body of the headhunter fell backwards.
He stared at Roy with wide eyes, a little confused, what kind of magic this was......
Seeing his left arm hammering down unobeyedly, the headhunter gritted his teeth and took a step back, poured a bottle of magic potion from his waist into his stomach, and wanted to pounce on Roy again.
But he only felt a chill surging by his side, and the scimitar in his hand slashed out by feeling, and it happened to be on an ice gun.
The ice gun exploded in front of the headhunter captain, and the ice mist that spread out instantly blocked the headhunter's vision.
Roy hurriedly pulled Claire, who was lying on the ground, up behind him and retreated to a boulder.
……
A faint shadow flashed in the ice mist, and before the headhunters could look at the figure, the shadow disappeared.
If he had dodged more slowly, he would have been slashed in the thigh by that shadow.
Just now, the headhunter even felt a hint of danger.
But before the scimitar could slash out, the shadow had already disappeared, and there was an extra cut in his pants......
Although his leg was not injured, the headhunter team leader also broke out in a cold sweat.
There was a scream from the headhunters in the back, and it was obvious that the headhunters he brought were in trouble.
The Headhunter decided to abandon Roy's side, and he broke out of the fog and slashed at the Giant Bear......
……
Miss Tiffany was standing in the rain, soaked from the rain, and emerged from the side of the headhunter with a water balloon floating above her head.
When the headhunter saw Miss Tiffany, he immediately stopped and rushed up with a scimitar......
Rainy days are like their home turf for a water magician.
Miss Tiffany pointed her ice gun at the headhunter. Throw it out.
The headhunter immediately took a big step to the right and smashed the ice gun with the back of his knife, narrowly avoiding the ice gun.
But he didn't notice the water balloon overhead......
It was originally such a rainy day, and there was a large water balloon suspended above the headhunter's head, and the headhunter didn't notice it at all.
The moment the water balloon fell, Miss Tiffany's open palm immediately clenched into a fist.
The moment the entire water balloon devoured the body of the headhunter captain, it actually condensed into ice, freezing the headhunter captain solidly in it.
However, as soon as the water balloon condensed into ice, countless cracks appeared.
Two seconds later, the ice cracked open to the headhunter......
The headhunter team hurriedly moved his stiff hands and feet, although he was also paying attention to his surroundings, he didn't notice the black shadow coming up from behind him.
A short sword was smeared on the headhunter's thigh again, and the blade of the short sword accurately followed the gap in the leg armor, leaving a wound on the headhunter's thigh.
The headhunter continued to step back......
Moira appeared at Tiffany's side, and on the other side were Roy and Claire, and the four of them surrounded the elven captain in the center.
The headhunter team took an offensive posture again, but he found that his feet seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and when he lowered his head, he found that his feet didn't know when, and they actually condensed a thick layer of ice crystals.
He took a step forward and almost slipped......
The demonic phantom behind him had also disappeared, and the headhunter captain was a little flustered, and he looked to the left and right sides with the corner of his eye.
A two-meter-high wave appeared behind Miss Tiffany, and with a short spell, the wave rushed towards the headhunter.
The headhunter wanted to split the giant wave with a knife, and when the giant wave came into contact with the headhunter, the giant wave miraculously condensed into ice again, freezing the headhunter inside.
Moira turned into a black shadow and slashed twice in the headhunter's leg before disappearing into the rain like a ghost.
Blood flowed from both thighs and mixed with the rain, leaving them wrapped in a pale red color......
The headhunter captain finally had a retreat in his heart, he looked at his companions beside him, only to find that at this time, the female elf sword dancer had forced the last two headhunters to retreat, and the rest of the headhunters were lying in a pool of blood.
The icy rain faded the last bits of blood from the dead hunters, and their whole faces were pale......
……
The headhunter drank a bottle of reckless potion, and his body did not feel any pain.
Even if he was cut on his thigh, it didn't matter to him, and he turned and ran towards the rain behind him, only to be shot in the back by an ice arrow, causing him to stagger and fall into the muddy water.
Woods, who rushed over, pressed one paw on the back of the headhunter captain, and Reisander didn't know where to get out, and the hunting knife in his hand was firmly wiped on the headhunter's neck.
Sabrina's side slashed the last headhunter under the sword, and the ambush battle was over.
In the messy boulder pile, the rain washed away the faint bloodstains, and the corpses of eight elven headhunters were placed side by side.
The members of the party erected a canopy behind a boulder, and all the members hid under the canopy to avoid the rain......
……
Unbeknownst to the members of the party, a fierce battle had also taken place in the elven village less than ten kilometers away from them.
The half-blood elf hunters from all the villages blocked a headhunter team in the village, and when the rain fell in the air, a group of half-blood elves came from all directions outside the village.
Since the number of half-blood elf hunters is more than ten times that of these headhunters, and it is raining heavily, it is impossible for the headhunters to slip away even if they want to ride argali.
Almost all of the headhunters have the strength of a warrior, and their combat skills are many times higher than that of this group of half-blood elf hunters, and nearly thirty hunters were injured before they were completely cleaned up.
There were also four headhunters on their way, all of whom were unable to reach the village in time because of the rain and some delays.
After the elven hunters besieged the headhunters, they ran into the village to hide from the rain, and by the way, they studied how to ambush the other headhunters.
……
A simple canopy was erected next to the rubble, and no dry wood could be found, so Miss Tiffany took out a fire-gathering scroll, placed it on a stone, and lit a magical bonfire, around which everyone gathered to keep warm.
Roy took the opportunity to heal himself, Woods, Sabrina, and Claire, while Miss Tiffany, Moira, and Reisander were not injured.
"Miss Tiffany, you're so good!" Claire said with some admiration.
"It happened to be a very cold and rainy day, and it would be easy for me to release water magic in weather like this." Miss Tiffany explained, curling her wet hair.
It was wet everywhere, and all had their feet treading on icy muddy water.
Fortunately, everyone is on fire, and Roy is still using 'secondary healing techniques' to treat everyone's injuries.
Roy didn't expect this battle to end so quickly.
"I thought it would cost me to defeat this group of headhunters. We were able to win easily this time, thanks to Woods, Sabrina and Miss Tiffany......" Roy said.
With that, he bandaged Woods' scarred arm.
"Are all headhunters on the plateau so powerful?" Roy asked Reisander.
Lei Shande shook his head again and again, and said, "These headhunters are just members of the search team, and the real headhunters are much more powerful than them!" ”
"We're going to have to be more careful about the rest of our trip...... Roy said.
When the rain finally subsided, Kaka, hiding above the clouds, flew down on a griffin, and found the group on the side of the rubble and found that the ambush had ended.
Roy obtained some weapons and armor from the headhunters, as well as five argali, which Roy intended to give to Reisander, who would be able to contact Mulin's .......
In addition, I also received some gem rough stones and magic cores from them, these headhunters are still very rich, and each headhunter has a money bag, which not only has some gems, but also some magic cores mixed in it.
Putting together the magic crystals and gem rough in these money bags, Roy actually harvested more than sixty magic cores, which was really a small fortune.
Then Kaka flew out to reconnoiter in the light rain.
The battle on the Elven Village has just ended, and half-blood elves can be seen everywhere in the village.
Kaka hurriedly told Roy the news, and Roy learned that he was not the only team fighting in the heavy rain, which was also good news, but he didn't know if Mu Lin was among those half-blood elves.
But then Kaka spotted that there were several more headhunters around.
"These gem mines should be the payment paid by the mine owners to the headhunters!" Reisander leaned over and said, "It's all some gems that are not very valuable, and now that the Partington plane is still banned, these gems are even less valuable!" ”
"The more valuable mine is still the ...... that can dig up moonstones"
Roy tended to the injuries of several members of the team, and when he sat down to rest, he unfolded a hand-drawn map, and then carefully revised the annotations on the edges of the map.
On this hand-drawn map, the Pagisto Plateau is almost a blank area.
Before you know it, the rain stopped.
After the rain-washed plateau, the sky and the grass are exceptionally clean, and some streams in the valley have expanded many times.
At this time, it is extremely dangerous to cross the stream.
The black pillar of smoke on the Elven Village had disappeared without a trace, and Kaka had brought a message that a team of headhunters was heading towards the rubble......
It is estimated that it will take another half a day to get here.
Originally, Roy was going to leave tomorrow morning, but after hearing the news of Kaka, he changed his mind and planned to stay here for half a day.
