Chapter 15: Striking the West
Heine had to admit that this crossbow was more accurate than himself in Teacher Xia's hands.
The night he got his weapons, he tried a few shots at the trunk of the tree in front of his house, and his benevolent marksmanship made the two skeletons laugh all night.
He simply gave up his crossbow.
Thinking about it from another angle, if your marksmanship is too good and you steal someone's head, wouldn't it be inexperience-worthy?
So that's the real reason, and it has nothing to do with marksmanship.
When George saw Heine arrive on his horse, he immediately showed joy for the rest of his life.
"Heine? Great, good to have you! β
Heine shook his head.
"Lord, it's not time to take it lightly."
"What? You mean......"
George quickly shut up.
One of the two out-of-control guards was shot in the heart by a crossbow, and the other was dented in the head by a flying shield that caught a sheep.
Obviously they were all dead and couldn't die anymore, but they staggered to their feet.
Under the eyes of the dead, they are soaked in death, but in their brains there is a cloud of blood light, spreading out silky blood vessels that control their bodies.
"They...... What's wrong with them? β
"Something has invaded their brains and is taking control of their bodies."
Heine didn't know it very well, because it didn't matter.
Just know that they are experienced.
"Up!"
He made a gesture, and the two skeletons suddenly rushed forward as if they were hungry tigers.
The undead faced the blood servants, and the battle was supposed to test the micro-manipulation skills of the behind-the-scenes controllers, but Heine was only responsible for A going up, and the rest was left to the two of them to play on their own.
I saw that Mr. Xia raised his hand and pretended to shoot, and the opponent's sword blade immediately crossed in front of him, but his crossbow was deflected, and the arrow was suddenly aimed at the enemy on the right.
Sou!
The lilac arrow hit the eye socket of the right guard, who staggered back slightly.
At that moment, the boning knife followed, and the thick blade sliced directly into the opponent's unprotected neck.
Like peeling off a cucumber, catching a sheep easily cut off the guard's head and stepped on it.
The size 44 thick-soled leather boots blessed with 8 points of strength instantly stepped on this head, like stepping on a watermelon.
A thumb-thick blood worm was directly stepped on and burst, and it didn't even have the qualifications to catapult.
At the same time, the sheep catcher flung the cutting board to the left without looking.
duangοΌ
The guard who was fighting with Teacher Xia was caught off guard and was smashed, and his head hit the dagger aimed at the center of his eyebrows, and he pushed into it.
The moment the dagger was drawn, a red light followed and drilled out, heading straight for the skeleton in front of him.
But it was cut off by an arrow in mid-air and sent away with precision.
The battle ended in an instant with the tacit cooperation of the two, and the consternation on George's face could no longer be hidden.
When they first met, he didn't understand why Heine had equipped his undead minions with such expensive equipment, which was too extravagant.
But now, he no longer has such ridiculous thoughts.
The skill and coordination shown by these two skeletons is fully worthy of this.
They may not be very powerful, but they are more like fighting machines than most mercenaries or even elite soldiers I've ever seen.
And the performance of the undead minions depends on the control of their masters, so ......
He couldn't help but look at Heine.
I really underestimated him before, and the future of this young man is limitless.
Seven or eight orbs of experience floated back, but Heine still didn't let his guard down.
He looked around with the eyes of the dead.
Gray dead air is converging, a precursor to necromancy.
He can't see the source, which means that the enemy's perception is above him.
He simply let go of the shackles of the two completely:
"Move freely and search for lurking enemies around you!"
Two heavily armed skeletons scattered to the left and right, and Heine guarded George's side vigilantly with his staff of shocks.
"Viscount, do you have a flare for help?"
"This is my hunting ground, how can I prepare those things?"
George said something self-deprecating, but he quickly perked up:
"My most loyal bodyguard, Arthur, must have been on his way to the end."
At this time, the forest birds in the distance flew in shock, and a faint scream came.
Brother Yang exclaimed: "What is the plot of this wave?" Why is there a banshee screaming, this is quite complete, how did the monster of the haunted manor get a copy? β
"It's a new story, and I haven't seen it before. The banshee is probably pinning down Arthur, and there is definitely a crouch on our side......"
"You're good at squatting."
"There's nothing wrong with it, I see it! Damn, this cloak is definitely enchanted with Jungle Shelter too! Up! β
Heine was about to relay the copied answer to George when he suddenly heard a loud "bang"!
In my mind -
"Holy, the corpse of a living person explodes? Brother Yang, are you okay? β
"It's okay to have a head, this wave of losses is big, how many years have my mother not been targeted like this...... No, Mr. Xia, what about your ass? β
"It's blown up."
Hearing that the two had suffered heavy casualties, Heine hurriedly got up.
But he had not taken two steps before he suddenly stood still.
The spell of the corpse explosion must be engraved on the bone, so there are few living corpse explosions, and they are often undead minions.
Moreover, the principle of triggering the corpse explosion is to torture the geist to the extreme, causing it to disintegrate itself, releasing a huge amount of energy, so that the flesh is shattered.
It is rare for a living person to torture himself like this, and even if there is a ruthless person, it is difficult to do so in principle, which will trigger the body's self-protection mechanism.
In other words, it is very likely that someone else is behind the self-explosion of a living person!
Heine tapped his eyebrows, opened the eyes of the dead, and carefully stared in the direction of the explosion.
Under his deliberate gaze, he saw a faint blood-colored thread, slowly disappearing from the place where the explosion occurred.
Heine turned silently, following the thread in the direction in which it had disappeared.
In the grass at the end, a small mass of blood that was identical to the blood in the brains of the previous guards was released, and it was creeping against the ground towards the lord leaning under the tree.
Sound and blow, right?
A smoke grenade was thrown by him, landing between the tree where the lord was resting and the bloodworm.
With a crisp bang, the smoke bomb exploded on the ground, and the wave of smoke and dust swept away the blood worm that was about to eject, and a bone spear shot out in this strange sound!
Heine sped as another bone spear pierced the smoke.
The sound of two sharp objects entering the body was accompanied by a muffled grunt, and then someone fell to the ground.
stepped forward and stepped on the dead blood worm, and Heine relaxed after confirming that his opponent was also dead.
"It's all right, my lord, the danger is gone."
He walked under the tree and said to the frightened George.
"I didn't expect your strength to be lost to your undead."
George barely managed to keep his composure.
He is also in his early twenties, and it is rare to experience this kind of thing without being scared of diapers.
"The opponent is also a necromancer?" George asked.
"Yes, the movement just now was caused by the corpse explosion technique, and it was a living person......"
He briefly explained why, and George nodded frequently.
But as he spoke, Heine was in a state of flux.
Why Necromancer?
If you really want to assassinate the lord, wouldn't it be better to be an assassin hunter or something?
He didn't believe that the Githils were so big that they couldn't afford a few black gloves for dirty work.
It's so weird.
After a short rest, Heine picked up George and went to the place where the corpse broke out.
A large pit appeared here, and half of the body of the sheep was blown off, and the armor was blown to shreds.
Teacher Xia was slightly better, but he was also blown off two legs, and his equipment was intact, and he was frantically asking for credit at this time.
"Heine can't be moved to death, I don't even want my leg just to save him the cost of repairs."
Brother Yang sneered: "I think your fart slapped on the leg, looking at the direction of this plot, it is obvious that the lord is repairing, you have zero battle damage, he still has to be moved?" β
"Huh?"
Heine couldn't laugh or cry.
The words of the sheep were soon fulfilled.
"I'm sorry to have paid you so much." George said apologetically, "I'll let Arthur choose the best armor to use to make up for your loss!" β
Heine didn't shirk it, but just politely said a few words.
The movement quickly attracted the guards, as well as the "Arthur" mentioned by George.
When Heine saw the middle-aged man for the first time, he instantly felt a terrifying deterrent.
Especially when the other party's brown eyes swept by, he seemed to be stripped naked and sunk into the Huangpu River in winter.
Arthur was clearly in a bad mood.
for he was carrying a human head in his hand.
