Chapter 42: Only Enemies and No Friends
[Thank you for the generous reward of 'White Dew Frost 2010' and 'Broken Snow Sword', as well as the urging vote cast by 'Shasha's son'! 】
The rain is gradually decreasing, and the trees have noticed this, although it still rains every day, but occasionally you can see a touch of blue sky, and the water level in the forest has decreased significantly, and more low plants are exposed to the water, but you still can't walk on the ground, and now the ground is full of swamp traps, and sitting on the back of the big girl is obviously a better choice.
However, the reduction of the water level also reduced the speed of the alligator's advance, and also reduced the combat efficiency of the alligator's sneak attack, so Lin Shu's actions had to be more careful.
What's worse is that with the decrease of rain, more and more monsters hiding in the tree holes because of the rain gradually began to come out to move, in the past two days, Lin Shu and his party have seen a lot of monsters such as anchovy insects, cyan tree pythons, wolverines and other monsters, fortunately, these lone monsters saw Xiaoqiang's team and took the initiative to retreat, otherwise Lin Shu and their number of battles would have multiplied many times.
"Wait, there seems to be a battle ahead!"
Lin Shu stopped Xiao Qiang, who had already hesitated, in the gloomy woods, coupled with the reflection of the water under the trees, the magic halo still traveled far away, and Lin Shu even discovered the battle that was going on a few kilometers ahead of him before Xiao Qiang's keen sense of smell.
"Go to the left, to the edge of the big tree over there, and send us to the tree, and you will go forward a hundred meters and lie in ambush in the water. ”
Lin Shu quickly made a decision, because the light of the battle was getting stronger and stronger, it was obvious that this unknown battle was moving in this direction, but Lin Shu was unwilling to adjust the direction of progress in a hurry, if he hurriedly adjusted the direction, it would be troublesome for one to accidentally step into the territory of the dangerous demonic beast, rather than this, it would be better to see the situation.
Of course, another reason why Lin Shu decided this way was the rhythm of the battle, judging from the rhythm of the battle, the number of the warring sides was not much, if Lin Shu gave way to the front like this, and could stagger the two sides of the war, the previous part of the road might be a short smooth road.
Lin Shu took Niu Xiaoyong with Niu Xiaomei tied to his arms, and the three of them did not hide in a high place, because Lin Shu judged from observation that the two sides of the battle seemed to be far away from the water, so Lin Shu took the two little ones to hide close to the water.
Niu Xiaoyong didn't feel overly curious about the two sides of the battle, just silently held the short knife behind his waist, tried to breathe steadily, did not make any noise, and did not make any superfluous movements, and waited for Lin Shu's instructions with peace of mind, these two children are growing up rapidly in a dangerous environment.
"It's coming, attention!"
Lin Shu reminded softly, and then stopped making a sound, Niu Xiaoyong was only slightly nervous, similar to this situation, Niu Xiaoyong now has to go through it several times a day, and sometimes he has to rush up to slash the Warcraft, so he will no longer be as flustered and overwhelmed as he was when he faced the Warcraft for the first time, he knew that as long as he trusted Lin Shu, the rest was to desperately use the knife in his hand to solve the Warcraft that threatened his safety when he received Lin Shu's instructions!
"Bang!"
"Hoohoo!"
"Bang bang!"
Lin Shu's eyes shrank, and the first thing that appeared around the trees in the magic halo was a humanoid object floating in mid-air, yes, it was indeed a person, a magician wearing a battle suit, but it was not far away, and it was facing away from Lin Shu, and Lin Shu couldn't confirm who it was.
But more than eighty percent of the humans who appeared here at this time were magicians who fled from the farm, as for why these magicians ran in this direction, it is likely that this magician has the same idea as Lin Shu, or this magician is one of the initiators of the farm disaster at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Shu's eyes narrowed, and then he quickly looked away, just using the reflection of light and water, or the occasional sweep to observe the movements of this magician.
Although Lin Shu seemed to be a little too careful in doing this, the magician's six senses were sensitive, especially the sensing of magic energy fluctuations and soul power levels, so Lin Shu was very careful not to let his eyes stay on the other party for a long time.
Subsequently, the guy who fought with the magician also appeared in Lin Shu's eyes, this is a forest gibbon, a rare magical beast with dual attributes of wood and wind, with a level from the second order to the sixth order, and some people even have legends that they have seen a seventh-order gibbon, of course, it is just a legend.
The gibbon is not the kind of gibbon of the earth, but Lin Shu translates the term green star like this, this gibbon has very long arms, and is good at jumping between the trees, but it does not look like an ape, but has a ghost-like face, full of meat, a pair of fierce eyes, and two pairs of fangs, which does not look good.
As for the magician, the equipment on his body is obviously not bad, not to mention anything else, even the pair of cloud shoes on his feet is worth a lot of money, and the continuous outbursts of magic from time to time also show that this magician has a lot of demonic storage equipment.
What surprised Fang Zhiwen even more was that the magic used by this magician was actually an extremely rare dark magic, and the magic halo emitted from his body was dark purple, and the magic halo that Fang Zhiwen saw from a distance turned out to be the magic of a gibbon, the blue wind system and the green wood spell turned out to be from the same magical beast's hand, no, it should be 'claw'.
Lin Shu estimated from the light of magic that the level of the girchion was around the fifth order, and although the magician was retreating, he did not show his defeat, which shows that the level of this mage is likely to be the fifth order, at least the fourth order, because of the human wisdom and the help of props, below the seventh order, there is generally no problem in fighting against the higher order of the warcraft.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Shu understood why the magician had been dodging and retreating, it turned out that the gibbon was indeed a very troublesome kind of magical beast, first of all, its movements were extremely sensitive, and it was relatively difficult to lock, especially now in the woods, the gibbon used the influence of wood magic on trees, relying on plants to interfere and get rid of the opponent's magic lock.
This very practical ability gives the gibbon an extremely strong defensive ability in the woods, and Lin Shu can even further speculate that if this magician can't fly, can only float close to the ground, or jump and move between trees, he will definitely be hit by the gibbon's wood magic control skills.
Therefore, although the magician chose to act in the air to increase his magic energy consumption, he avoided being attacked by the gibbon's control skills, on the other hand, the gibbon's wind attack skills were relatively single, with only one control system of wind binding and one wind blade, and these two monotonous skills captured the magician who moved flexibly in the air.
Therefore, the gibbon looked very irritable, perhaps because it could not attack for a long time, or perhaps because it did not have much magic energy of its own, so it began to be a little anxious, and it is likely that from the beginning, this dark magician had the idea of killing the gibbon.
As for why he used this stupid method, it is likely that this magician is fourth-order, so his attack methods have no way to break through the gibbon's defense, but the magician is still constantly attacking the gibbon, but most of them are using props to attack, and occasionally a dark magic is thrown over, and Lin Shu can't see what the effect is.
Dark magic has always been very weird, such as weakness, aging, blindness, coma, etc., basically, these spells are only known to the person who is casting, and it is difficult for onlookers to tell what kind of spells they are from the outside.
Because of this, dark mages are generally not very gregarious, and like soul mages, these alternative mages are always secretly guarded by other mages, and no one wants to get too close to them, which also leads to these mages being more alternative, but the mages of the same system seem to be more grouped.
Every time the magician's attack seemed to Lin Shu, it was a black sphere flying over at a fairly fast speed, and then the gibbon would be nervous as if it had been stepped on by its tail to cast spells on the trees around it, using the growth of plant branches and vines to block these black spheres, and at the same time, the gibbon would move quickly, and even apply levitation to itself from time to time to improve the speed and flexibility of jumping in the air.
It seems that this gibbon has already suffered from these magics, otherwise it would not be this kind of overreaction like being exploded, and then look at the magician's unhurried casting, and sometimes use the gibbon to stay in the air for too long and activate an instantaneous reserve magic, which makes the gibbon rush and jump, but it can only jump violently, and the magician who is completely dangling in mid-air has no problem.
Lin Shu didn't have the slightest idea of going up to help from the beginning, in this dangerous place, Lin Shu had no friends but enemies. So, if you really go up to help, Lin Shu will definitely choose to help the gibbon, the problem is that judging from the appearance of the gibbon, this guy is definitely not a good thing, Lin Shu estimates that after he helps it, he will be given lunch by this guy.
So, Lin Shu decided that it would be good to watch the excitement on the sidelines, and when these two guys were far away, it was the right way to hurry away.
It's just that Lin Shu's abacus is playing well, but unfortunately, Lin Shu's negative character value broke out again, and the magician who was so immortal actually retreated in the direction where Lin Shu was hiding, which is absolutely not allowed.
"Xiaoqiang, attack the humans! Big girl, second girl, take turns to sneak attack! After completion, immediately transfer and prepare for the next attack. ”
Lin Shu's decision was very fast, and he gave the order for a sneak attack almost without thinking.
I saw that on the water not far behind the magician, a few dark blue water arrows suddenly appeared strangely, and then quickly moved sideways, staggered the blocking trees, and flew towards the magician's back with a roar, such a beautiful sneak attack!
