Chapter 390: Bloodthirsty Shadow
Duan Lie's spirit instantly tensed up as ten silver claws swept through the gloomy woods, not only because the claws left a half-inch-deep dent on the silver pine tree, but also because the owner of the claws, a skinner-skinning walker with a more terrifying reputation than the night killers of the Black Elf clan.
He clearly remembered that the skinners were the most terrible cold-blooded killers of the berserkers, and in some dark age documents, this kind of non-human species had been described in detail countless times, they were born in the lair of the berserkers, inheriting the cruel, cold-blooded, and tyrannical bloodline of the berserkers, they were cursed by evil witches from birth, and forcibly stripped off their skins, and then sewed new skins with the toughest monster skins, their claws, teeth, The back blades are even from the sharpest parts of all kinds of monsters, strictly speaking, the skinners are not exactly beastmen, they are madmen who have been cursed by evil witches and deliberately transformed.
In many historical texts, the Skinners are labelled as bloody and evil, and are disgraced by all the races of the world, not so much as the product of science and witchcraft as a species abandoned by the gods.
The ferocity of the skinners cannot be described in words, and even in the group of beastmen with tens of millions of people, it is difficult to appear, you know, it is quite difficult to create a skinner, under normal circumstances, if the witches want to create a skinning walker from ten thousand beastmen, the success rate will definitely not exceed thirty percent, this is still the best estimate, and sometimes, the probability of success in creating a skinning walker will be lower.
This also led to the fact that the Skinning Walker is one of the rarest species in the entire Beast Race, Duan Lie remembered that he had seen a battle in the Dark Ages, that was a human kingdom called the Wagang Empire and the Beast Race had a racial war, and finally with a strong strength to gain the upper hand, the Beast Race was driven out of the Imperial Continent, and the Beast Race then disappeared, and the human kingdom also obtained nearly two hundred years of peace.
But just when everyone thought that the beastmen would not return, in the middle of a dark night, as many as 100 skinners broke into the palace of the Wagang Empire, and it only took two hours, under the protection of up to 10,000 royal court guards, to brutally kill all the royal descendants of the Wagang Empire at that time.
Therefore, the Skinning Walker is a very strong existence, not to mention that their fighting strength can only be maintained at the level of a war spirit, but the skin on their bodies is tougher than many battle robes, and their claws are comparable to ordinary high-quality or even hallow level equipment. And the most terrifying thing is that these transformed cold-blooded killers were given a magical spirit force field like a magical beast after the transformation was completed through a curse: Bloodthirsty Shadow.
Bloodthirsty Shadow is a special skill that can clearly detect the fluctuation of the fighting qi and the smell of blood through the fluctuation of the demonic spirit force field, and at the same time, it can also greatly increase the speed of the wind fighting qi of the skinning walker, which is not not strong.
Overall, the Skinners are the most difficult character to deal with in the entire Orc-Terres, and if anyone is targeted by them, they will never die.
The Beast Race dispatched the Skinning Walkers, or three at a time, Duan Lie had to doubt their intentions.
If it was because he had killed hundreds of berserkers in two months, causing Pirut to be furious and vow to track down his whereabouts, this was obviously unlikely.
After all, in the mind of the berserkers, they would not blindly seek revenge because of too many losses and dispatch the skinners, after all, the skinners are too precious to the beastmen, and the precious ones can't bear to let them waste.
You must know that if a skinning walker can survive for more than fifty years after reaching the level of a war spirit, then this skinning walker will become the existence of Wang Wei, and his strength can even be comparable to that of the War Emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the Beast Race lost his territory and was angry about the loss of his territory, the Wagang Empire would never have rashly sent a hundred skinners.
From this point of view, the appearance of these three skinners is very strange.
Even Duan Lie felt that they were not here for themselves.
But that being said, from the appearance of the three skinners to the present, they have clearly searched for the aura of the invaders everywhere, and in the dark forest, there are obviously no other adventurers except themselves, have they always been guarding the dark forest?
Thinking of this, Duan Lie's attention became extremely concentrated, the current situation was that it was a sure fact that he had alarmed these three skinners due to his own intrusion, and it was certain that these three skinners were looking for themselves, but why they appeared in the dark forest had to make Duan Lie think a little more.
"Hmph, since you're here, don't go, there must be something wrong with this place. ”
He carefully surveyed his surroundings and followed a skinner.
Since they are skinners, the badges they wear can be exchanged for more achievements, Duan Lie has never forgotten this, and besides, although killing three skinning walkers will not affect the overall situation, but after all, it will get rid of the three scourges, otherwise if they are released, I don't know how many adventurers like himself will be threatened by their lives.
With this in mind, Duan Lie began to mobilize the Thunder Fighting Qi, and the rhythm was constantly active in his body, and he was ready to get closer to some of the skinners who would pack up the skinning first.
But at this moment, a cold wind blew from behind him, and Duan Lie subconsciously sweated all over his body, and he didn't dare to think about turning around and swept out with a backhand sword.
The five clear silver claws in the field of vision quickly became larger, and they happened to be on the blade of the Seven Flames Blade, and when the terrifying power and the sharp claw blade slashed through the Seven Flames, there was a piercing friction sound, and the chaotic sparks splashed everywhere, under the sneak attack of the other party, Duan Lie couldn't help but tilt his body and retreated more than a dozen steps to the left before standing firm.
"Skinner, damn it, it's been discovered. ”
When he realized the trouble, Duan Lie saw a figure in black short leather armor, his height was about the same as his own, and his body was also the same, and the hood half-concealed the green-skinned face with scar marks, revealing an extremely fierce ferocity.
This is the Skinner, with a thin body and a speed and strength that ordinary human first-level war spirits can't match, and his sneak attack is always just right.
The Skinwalkers carry a rough bow on their backs and several black arrow shafts around their waists, indicating that they are not only proficient in sneak attacks, but also at archery like orc thieves.
Duan Lie was stunned for a moment, and was just about to organize a counterattack, when he saw the corners of the skinner's mouth hidden under the hood hooked, and immediately turned into a light red blood shadow and disappeared from the field of vision.
Bloodthirsty Shadow.
They're already eyeing me.
Duan Lie's heart suddenly suddenly, and he unconsciously tightened the Seven Fire Blade in his hand, and the Superior Holy Weapon seemed to realize the anger of its master and let out a low hum, and the abundant fire energy was constantly burning from the sword's body, becoming the only bright spot in the woods that ignored the darkness.
Duan Lie didn't attack, but lowered his body, cautiously guarding against changes in the surrounding environment.
You must know that being nailed by a skinning walker is equivalent to being regarded as a killing target by all skinning walkers, they are born with the ability to communicate with each other, and they can maintain a state of communication with each other at any time, that is to say, now he has to face not just one skinning walker, but a whole three, three skinning walkers with first-level war spirit strength.
Duan Lie was not timid, on the contrary, he was very glad that these three guys were not monsters who had lived for decades, otherwise, he would not be an opponent at all.
However, the three skinners meant the most brutal challenge of Duan Lie's life, and even this crisis was much more dangerous than facing the stone giant that day.
There must be no carelessness. Duan Lie reminded himself, his eyes rolled slightly, and his spiritual perception was suddenly active to the maximum base, even if there was a trace of wind and grass around, he couldn't escape his magic eyes.
At this moment, the skinning walker launched a general attack, and a skinning walker's fast and roundabout figure appeared within Duan Lie's field of vision, the position was just behind him, the skinning walker was low like a cheetah in the woods that pounced on its prey, and under the blessing of the faint wind fighting spirit, he came to Duan Lie's back with great speed, and instantly grabbed it with a claw.
Duan Lie had already taken precautions, and his half-squatting body quickly staggered to the right, this position was just right to exert the true power of the sword fire in his left hand, he struggled upward, and the double energy of the fire with abundant fire energy surged out quickly, and successfully slashed through the abdomen of the skin-peeling walker under the drive of the sword light.
Duan Lie was overjoyed and was about to pursue, but at this moment, he suddenly found that the skinning walker was actually grabbed indiscriminately with his hands and feet like no one else, and escaped far away, so that the second strength of the flame rhythm had no effect on his body at all.
That's not all, what made Duan Lie's heart fall to the bottom was that the Seven Fire Blade, which was so powerful that it had the title of Outstanding Sacred Weapon, only left a shallow wound on the abdomen of the Skinner's abdomen under the bonus of human-level high-level combat skills, which meant something, this showed that the Skinner's defensive ability was quite amazing, and it was comparable to Golem.
Duan Lie looked at it directly and was dumbfounded: "Good girl, won't you, do you want to be so powerful?"
