Chapter 13: The Separated Skeleton Guard
The elder brother raised his hand, and of course Charlotte wanted unconditional support, so he hurriedly raised his hand as well. At the same time, the girl also said with a firm face: "Those guys are coming over soon, if we want to search the death tunnel, it is impossible not to go through them, the early fight is also a fight, the evening fight is also a fight, in case it is delayed until tomorrow, and then there is any mutation, it will be even more troublesome, it is better to do it now! Although it is five, I have now recovered some strength, I can solve one, my brother can solve two, and the other two will be solved, it will definitely be fine!"
"That makes sense. Leo looked at the girl in surprise, but he didn't expect her to give such a reasoned analysis.
Although the five-headed skeleton guard was indeed a bit troublesome, if he was careful, it really shouldn't be a problem, so he also raised his hand.
The score came to three to four, and as long as one more person agreed, the team would stay.
Just when Leo thought that Tolman, who looked more reckless, would agree, he didn't expect Gray Alfalfa to raise his hand.
"I agree with Miss Charlotte. Gray Alfalfa's voice was hoarse and low, and it was rare for him to say such a long sentence.
"Thank you, sister. Charlotte smiled sweetly.
The Half-Elf, Iron Fist, and Tolman looked at each other, and they all raised their hands knowing that they couldn't change their decision.
This situation makes Leo sigh that sometimes, women are actually more decisive than men.
"Okay! Unanimous vote!" Demont was determined, and looked at the five skeleton guards a hundred meters away, quickly thinking about how to deal with it.
At the same time, among the ragtags who had dispersed before, an unlucky guy had already been chased up.
The skeleton guard's massive feet stepped out and stomped on it so precisely that the man didn't even have time to scream before it turned into a puddle of mud.
However, it was this action that slowed down the speed of the skeleton guards a little, not only blocking the skeleton guards behind them. Also buy time for the other two runners.
Seeing this scene, Leo's heart moved, and he quickly said: "This position is not good, we should transfer immediately!"
Demont also had this intention, and quickly nodded.
While they were deliberating, the other ragtags had regrouped and clamored for a quick retreat.
Murafa's face turned pale, in fact, he believed that with the strength of these people, even if they were completely inferior to the Thunder Family squad, they would be able to eliminate one or two skeleton guards alone. It can still be done. It's just that they are a rabble after all, and if they really have to face a strong enemy, I'm afraid they will disperse in an instant.
"Boss, let's get out of the way, it's too late!" a sweaty cried out.
Murafa gritted his teeth and did not respond. With his experience over the years, it is not difficult to see that the sudden appearance of the five-headed skeleton guard is definitely something special in that direction, and it may even be a treasure of value training. If you help the Thunder Family squad at this time. You can definitely share the profits.
Glancing at the immobile Thunder Squad in front of him, he quickly made up his mind and said in a loud voice: "Those who are willing to stay follow me, and those who are unwilling will withdraw." Go back to camp and wait!"
With permission, most of the ragtags ran towards the exit with a shout, and in the blink of an eye, including himself. There are only four people left.
"Damn, just this waste, still thinking about getting rich?" Murafa drew his scimitar. To the remaining three: "You follow me, ready to cooperate with me at any time!"
As soon as the words fell, the Thunder Squad suddenly maintained its formation and moved quickly, its target was obvious, the low recess between the two hillocks a hundred meters away.
Such a move immediately exposed several people in Murafa.
The previous skeleton guards locked their "eyes" on, and they showed hesitation, obviously not knowing whether to continue to pursue those people or to kill them first.
It didn't hesitate for long, though, as the skeleton guards behind it followed, nearly knocking it down.
"Aang!" the skeletal guard roared as if he were scolding, then settled on his target and strode toward Murafa.
Mulafa didn't expect such a situation at all, cursed a swear word, beckoned his companion to pull his legs and run.
Since the Thunder Squad sold itself to the front, of course they have to hide behind them again, but it really can't be done, and they can leave here directly.
In fact, what happened just now was completely accidental, and Demont didn't want Murafa to be a shield, but Murafa's position was really bad, so this situation would occur.
Right now, Murafa wants to hide behind the Thunder Family team, so naturally it is impossible to pass through the team, so he has to go around a small hill, but in this way, the skeleton guards will follow.
A second later, Leo's magically amplified voice flew out, "This way! Don't run around!
"Boss, we can't go over! we have few people now, and they must be trying to kill us and take what is here for themselves!" said one of Murafa's men as he galloped.
Murafa looked hesitant, but he also felt that this was very possible, and for the time being, he still had to put his own safety first, so he nodded and continued to run according to the established revelation.
Seeing that the skeleton guards were taken away and the original plan was completely invalid, Charlotte said indignantly: "These guys are really not successful enough, and they are more than defeated!"
"Not necessarily, maybe it's better!" said Leo thoughtfully.
After a series of events, Demont had come to think very highly of Leo, the mage seemed to be young, but he was very knowledgeable and experienced, so he immediately asked, "Mr. Mars, what should we do?"
Leo quickly figured out his thoughts in his mind and replied, "You wait here, I'll see if I can attract a skeleton guard or two back." So we can solve it little by little. ”
Iron Fist glanced at his current position, the skeleton guard had already chased to the side of the hillock, and couldn't help but worry, "I won't attract all of them, if they cross the hill, we may be passive." ”
"I try to control the power of my magic, so I shouldn't move much. Leo shook his head.
The half-elf volunteered: "This distance, my arrows can also reach, I will go with you." ”
Leo said categorically: "No, but I will ask you to climb the hill later." ”
"What are you going up there for?" the half-elf wondered.
Leo knew that he didn't have much time left, so he quickly explained: "Use your arrows to warn those people not to run behind us!"
The half-elf was slightly stunned. Quickly reacted, Leo let himself drive away Murafa and the others, so that they could continue to attract the skeleton guards, and couldn't help laughing: "I see, it's a good idea, haha, I understand." ”
"But Charlotte and Alfalfa had better stay out of the way, leaving the strength ready to deal with the Skeleton Guard. Leo made one last move, activated the magic weapon, and left the team. Intercepted from the side at great speed, and the Valkyrie followed closely behind him.
"He didn't cast a spell, why did he run so fast, did the mages run so fast?" asked Charlotte inexplicably.
"No, it should be Mr. Mars's unique ability. Demont looked at Leo as he flew away, and felt more and more that this young mage was unfathomable.
As someone who grew up in the Western Exile Territory, although he had met some mages and had contact with them, he did not know that there was such an extremely special profession as a battle mage in the world.
But this thought also made him more and more puzzled, such a powerful mage. There must be an extraordinary heritage, why run to a wild place like the Western Exile Lands, and join your own team into the dangerous gray canyon?
"What the hell is his purpose?"
Leo didn't know about Demon's speculation. And even if he knew, he couldn't answer, he could only laugh. Because he really didn't have any special purpose, he just wanted to try his luck. See if you can find the materials you need.
In a short time, Leo, who had burst out at full speed, had already closed a hundred meters to the skeleton guard, and barely entered the firing range.
Off the top of one's head. With a low and short incantation, a missile composed of pure magical energy instantly took shape, and under the guidance of spiritual power, it flew towards the skeleton guard who fell at the end.
Three seconds later, the Mana Missile accurately hit the Bone Guard.
If there is a knowledgeable mage here, it will be very surprised. Because at such a distance, it is definitely not an easy task to be able to use mental power to guide the magic missile to hit the target. The caster must not only calculate very quickly and accurately, but also control the mental power in a meticulous manner, if there is a slight deviation, it will be the result of a thousand miles of mistakes.
However, the expected situation did not appear, and the skeleton guards were unaware of the fact that they were hit by a magical missile.
Charlotte, who was watching from behind, sneered, "What, I thought he was going to do something, how did he get such a weak magic." ”
In the girl's heart, she was still secretly unhappy that her brother's command was "snatched", so she subconsciously ignored Leo's super magic just now, which was like the explosion of a weapon of mass destruction.
Seeing that the other people did not answer, the girl wrinkled her nose and closed her mouth in amusement.
"The magic resistance is too high, and the power of the magic missile is too weak...... Leo was speechless, so he had to choose a stronger magic and cast it.
In the blink of an eye, a bright fireball, with a long tail of flames, once again hit the last of the skeleton guards.
"Boom!"
An explosion occurred, and a large ball of flames emanated.
"Aang!"
Attacked, the skeleton guard let out an angry roar and turned to look at the attacker.
Affected by it, several other skeleton guards also looked at it.
Demont was shocked and shouted, "Oh no!
Several of the others reacted quickly, instantly lowering their bodies and hiding themselves behind the hillock to prevent them from being discovered by the skeleton guards. If these five skeleton guards come together, it really can't be dealt with.
It's just that...... Mr. Mars exposed to the outside...... What to do?
Demont raised his head slightly and looked over, but found no trace of Leo.
"Gone? What kind of magic is this?"
Before he could figure it out, an even more violent explosion appeared on the first skeleton guard.
At this moment, the attention of the other skeleton guards was drawn again. It's just that they couldn't find the location of the attacker at all, so they had to roar a few times and continue to chase after Murafa in front. Then, Leo's figure changed from small to large, and he didn't even move the whole time, but only used the shrinking technique to avoid the gaze of the skeleton guards.
"Phew, Mr. Mars was really prepared, sorry, I was too nervous. Demon stood up, surveyed the situation ahead, and motioned for the others to get ready.
............
A few seconds earlier, when the fireball appeared, Murafa had thought that Leo was trying to help them, but a second explosion followed, which made him finally realize that the other party was just trying to use himself as a decoy to attract prey.
After so many years of horse banditry, Murafa had never been used in such a way, so he was resentful, and he became more and more determined to take a detour behind the knoll and lead the troubled waters away.
Seeing that he was about to reach his target, he was about to change direction when a sharp feathered arrow shot at him and stuck in the ground five meters away from him.
Murafa looked in the direction where the feathered arrow was shot, and suddenly saw that the half-elf was shaking the bow and arrow in his hand proudly, and the meaning was obvious, don't come this way, otherwise I'm welcome.
For the threat of the half-elves, Murafa didn't care, with his own skills and his subordinates, at such a distance, he could completely dodge the feathered arrows that came from him.
Seeing that he was about to go around the hillock, he gritted his teeth, you don't let grandpa come, grandpa wants to come, and when the time comes, the skeleton guards will block the way, see what you do!
But before he could make any move, two more figures appeared over there, namely the girl Charlotte and the woman covered in black robes.
The other ragtags may not have seen Charlotte's terrible lightning, but Murafa saw it clearly, and he thought he couldn't handle it. And the woman who has never made a move makes him feel uneasy when he walks on the sword all year round.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" one of his men asked anxiously, seeing that the skeleton guards were about to catch up, and their roars had the effect of attacking souls, so that his fragile heart was almost unbearable.
At this time, there was a sudden change behind him. The skeleton guard at the end was once again magically attacked, but it seemed to get used to it, and it didn't roar, it just turned around and headed for the pesky bug.
"They want to solve it one by one?" said Murafa's heart. If you help them drag down the skeleton guards now, then you will definitely be able to gain favor, and when you find something, you will definitely be able to get some of it.
As for being used as bait, if the harvest is good, then it will be treated as if nothing happened, and if there is no harvest, it will be a big deal to slowly retaliate later.
"Keep running!" Murafa ordered, taking the lead in a faster pace, completely ignoring the fact that his men were close to collapse. (To be continued......)
