Time seems to have passed for a long time to everyone's senses... But in fact, from the time the Jackal appeared to now, only a few dozen breaths have passed...
"Brother Baroque, come with me!"
Taking a deep breath of the air that was already filled with blood to expand his lungs, the hunter shouted.
Not far away, the dwarf was cursing and tearing off his battle ax from a corpse, and then sent it back into the waist of another gnoll with a twist. Then with a violent roar, the unlucky guy was killed.
It was thrown heavily on one of his companions. Amidst the low collision and harsh sound of fractures, the splattered blood and pieces of flesh rendered the ground a mess. Beside the dwarf, there were already five or six gnoll corpses.
Spread out - each piece is incomplete.
Although the dwarf's short-haired cloak had a large hole on the shoulder, and there were large blood stains on his body, judging from the metal reflection of the armor exposed under the hole, it was obviously not worth it to him.
Issues to note.
In fact, in the past short period of time, it was this dwarf who shared some of Edward's pressure from the side... Or in the jungle, hunters are not afraid of opponents like jackals, but they must have equal strength. He
After all, they don't have the ability to be transformed into monsters by divine power like the Paladins. In close combat, being able to deal with two or three Jackals at a time is already quite outstanding.
What's more, on a complex battlefield, you must always be prepared to deal with any danger.
The three figures turned the young man into a target at the same time as he shouted.
The two wargs, one behind the other, suddenly arched their waists and turned into black afterimages in the hazy light! Affected by their bodies that are twice as big as ordinary wolves, the movements of these beasts usually seem inconsistent.
Not very fast... but that's just what it looks like. In fact, these monsters, which are far more intelligent than wild beasts, are very good at hiding their extremely terrifying ability to traverse - the strength of their strong limbs and backs allows them to fly almost in an instant.
It can cover a distance of more than thirty or even fifty feet!
The suddenly shortened distance allows their opponents to realize that the huge mouth with sharp fangs is very close to them in an instant - for inexperienced people, this is enough to steal their souls. Then
Become the pieces of flesh beneath their fangs and claws!
But they immediately noticed that this opponent was no ordinary person.
He just took a step to the side and dodged the powerful attacks of the two wolves... Even if one of the warg's huge claws changed direction in the air, it was only enough to brush his shoulder, and the beast was in the next moment.
Then he realized the flaw of the volley - the sharp steel stretched out lightly from another angle, pierced into his abdomen almost effortlessly, and then tore it open with its proud impact.
When its body fell to the ground, its internal organs were violently pulled out from the wound that was nearly two feet wide due to the intense activity and the blood with strong pressure!
Or the wisdom that far surpassed that of the beast made him understand that if there is a next time, he must not choose this kind of attack that cannot change the route... However, he can only be like the same kind behind him, struggling with the last strength, on the ground
Broad dark red traces were dragged through the mud.
Edward took another step forward.
At this moment, amidst the fierce sound of the wind, a big ax struck him head-on, but such an advance allowed him to just avoid the sharp edge of the murderous weapon. This full blow made the jackal wielding the ax full attention, so
Before he could figure out why his empty swing pulled him over, a dagger had already stabbed heavily into his neck!
Turn it over and hand it over, and the blood will flow like a fountain.
Then the guy who had been drained of all his strength fell backwards, and the other jackal whose sight was blocked because of this, the last thing he sensed was that when he pushed away the body of his companion, the edge of a long sword had already
passed his neck.
Exhaling gently, Edward shook off the blood on the blade of his sword. At this time, a jackal charging in this direction had been chopped away by an ax from the charging dwarf. The battlefield suddenly became quiet in this corner.
Some.
The young hunter turned his gaze and scanned the entire battlefield.
Not far in front of him, a jackal was being cut in half by a brilliant sword light, while the paladin rushed towards his tenth or twelfth opponent, and the aura all over his body surged.
, as bright as a torch in this dark jungle. It also attracts the most targets - in fact, if it weren't for the gorgeous armor on his body that blocked him from numerous arrows and blades, he would
Maybe it has become a smashed can now... But even so, he is no longer able to deal with the opponent as quickly as before, and the swordsmanship has also changed from slashing to focusing more on stabbing. After all, cutting
The human body is not an easy job either.
The situation before us is undoubtedly very bad, but it is not impossible to save.
The young hunter frowned and noticed that in another corner of the battlefield, the middle-aged knight chanted a sonorous and powerful sentence, and then a large white light burst out from his hand... In this light, several mercenaries
Already jumping up with cheers, it is obvious that the closing of the wounds on their bodies makes them extremely excited - after all, there is a priest, and a very capable priest. He belongs to your side in the battle. This is not just a matter of increasing the combat effectiveness.
It means that things that were originally fatal have become less scary.
A fiery red bright spot flickered at the end of the white light of the lighting staff, and then suddenly expanded! The rolling flames erupted in all directions with an orange-red halo, making a thunderous sound, killing several jackals and two wargs.
Wrapped in it!
The luster of the flame flowed in all directions with the storm, and eventually turned into a residual fire that illuminated a radius of dozens of feet. The pungent and strong smell of sulfur spread around, and then the second...an oak tree squeaked.
Gurgling and groaning, he fell to the side, causing a squelching sound, and the low screams were buried in the messy sounds. A small gap opened in the dense forest, and the spreading fire illuminated a corner of the battlefield.
, but the shadows of nearly a hundred various creatures swaying in the light and shadow can only make people take in a breath of cold air.
Fireball.
The sight in the distance made Edward raise his eyebrows. This spell is considered a common thing on the street - although it is said that some mages have a special preference for it, and even in some very unreliable stories, this thing is harmful to gods.
All can have a sure-kill effect, but in fact it is the best choice only when enemies come in groups and there are no obstacles.
Of course, there is no difference between up and down at this moment... because these are just the effects of emergency scrolls-it is a valuable thing for mercenaries, and there are only a few spellcasters among the mercenaries.
It seems that the clever guys have discovered the disadvantage of the situation and started to take out the things at the bottom of the box.
However, the effect of these two consecutive attacks is not very good - the climate of Storm Moon has made the forest rich in water, and the swamp puddles deep in the jungle and the thick moss nourished by the dark environment will make
The power of the fireball is greatly reduced. If it is the late autumn and early winter when the weather is dry, the flames ignited may bring good hindrance.
Now, not only did this have a minimal impact on the battle situation, but the clearer sight due to the fire also made their bodies become cold. The originally high morale suddenly fell to the bottom again... Even though the middle-aged knight next to them was thinking again
Even after reciting a sonorous and powerful word, a large piece of white light shrouded their bodies did not have much effect.
The firelight gradually turned into a dark red color because it lost the support of magic, but these jumping lights outlined the figures gradually gathering in the small newly developed open space.
It was a humanoid creature about two people tall. Its seemingly dry and thin body swayed slightly as it walked. Its long forelimbs almost touched the ground along with its stooped upper body. It looked like a large...
Gibbon. However, the experience of the mercenaries made them very clear that it was not a gibbon - even if it could grow to such a big size, dozens of gibbons combined would not be as scary as this monster.
The firelight illuminated their brown skin, and even from a short distance, one could clearly see that it was covered with rough particles and lumps, and they had a mess of green hair on their heads, and a shriveled-looking hair on their faces.
Their ugly and disgusting noses hanging down like carrots are enough for people to determine their identity.
"Troll...demon...troll!"
"**Ten... damn, at least twenty!"
"Not only that, there are more in the back! And on the left! Oh my god, Cod is on top...how can there be so many!"
A series of screams broke out among the mercenaries. If hundreds of gnolls only brought them panic and a premonition of death, then twenty, thirty or even fifty trolls were the real deal.
The call of death. After all, this terrible monster not only has terrifying power and invulnerable thick skin, but also has the most difficult and almost impossible to kill resurrection ability. Under normal circumstances, two or three trolls
It was enough to wipe out an entire adventurer team of seven or eight people!
If you want to defeat them, ordinary fighting methods will not work. Only fire and strong acid can suppress their terrifying recovery ability, which means that magic has now become extremely important.
But with just one mage and one priest, can their power be enough to deal with this number of opponents?
not to mention……
Edward followed the dwarf and ran towards the other side of the camp. Although there was a risk of being attacked by people when they gathered together at this time, they could no longer care about these things.
The young hunter was thinking very quickly, and he knew that there was only one way to reverse the situation - there should be Jackal spellcasters nearby, perhaps priests or shamans. They were not only spellcasters,
He is also the spiritual leader of the jackals, so the best way is to rush over and kill them. Otherwise, if not infinite, these things can gather at least three to five hundred in number, and that kind of strange mist or energy
, maybe they will continue to infect all the creatures in this area, and even if they are defeated, they will be very resistant to getting rid of subsequent entanglements!
Of course, it is actually a good idea to let some people stand here to attract firepower, and a few people to complete the attack... But Edward is not a paladin. He doesn't like to be brilliant, and he never thinks that he should save everyone with a sudden surprise.
Yu Shuihuo...it's obviously more appropriate to hand this task over to magical magic users.
Magic users are usually very magical...
Edward's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Because the surrounding light has undergone another wonderful change, the colors in the entire jungle suddenly become brighter, and all the trees are exuding vitality!
No, it's actually because, just a few dozen feet away, the black-robed mage raised his hands, and a huge sphere was expanding in the air! The bright green light it emitted surrounded and illuminated everything around it.
In this light!
"Damn! Damn it!"
Edward cursed secretly.
The air in front of him was filled with scorching heat waves. The heat rushing towards his face made him feel as if he had jumped into boiling water for a moment!
Or maybe it's because the huge sphere is a powerful fireball... The surging magical power in it can be clearly detected by even a person like Edward who is not naturally sensitive!
Well, maybe no one can tell that this is a fireball at the first moment... not because of the bloated appearance with many raised particles bulging out, but because of its color. That is not what flames can emit.
It's yellow or red or even purple, but a very strange green that is reminiscent of uncleanness... If you describe it carefully, it's like a mixture of blue, gray, and green mixed with sewer water and mold after a rotting corpse.
Mixed together, all kinds of disgusting and unknown colors are constantly rolling in the sphere.
Along with the heat wave, there seems to be a vague sour smell that fills the air... It seems that everyone can understand the power contained in this fireball. In short, it is not just a simple fire.
So Edward leaned down at the first moment, hiding himself in the shadow of a tree, watching the big ball staggering away from the magician's hand, and flying towards the distance through the forest!
This fireball, which was several times larger than the ordinary fireball technique, did not cause a violent explosion.
After flying dozens of feet, with a bang, it exploded into a sheet of flames, but the sphere didn't look like a ball of fire. After it exploded, it didn't splash around, but continued to fill the sky.
The flying liquid-like thing flew forward and fell into the woods.
Originally, it seemed like this shouldn't have much impact. It just set a forest on fire.
But the fact is that this fireball caused horrific consequences!
The mixed blue and green flames burned on the trees, only making a series of slight sizzling sounds before disappearing, but the thick trees withered and corroded quickly under this flame like ice poured with molten iron. Almost in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the big tree as thick as a hug began to fall down with a creaking sound, and then there was a loud friction sound. Leaves and mud were thrown upward like a chain reaction, and the shadows of human figures shrouded in the flames, whether they were jackals or wolves
Man or troll, he also let out a terrifying wail at this moment!
The flames that fell on their exposed skin did not disappear, but immediately became stronger. It was as if it had fallen on a pile of oil and was boiling with joy!
The space was filled with extremely miserable shouts, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat in an instant, and the burnt meat was the rotten smelly meat!
Not only the jackals, but also humans began to run backwards. As long as they inhaled a little bit of that sour smell, everyone could feel a heartbreaking pain.
The pain was like being swallowed a bottle of strong acid... The lungs had begun to corrode and erode amidst the subtle squeaking sounds... and the skin fell off directly...
"What the hell!"
Edward rolled to his feet, ran backwards for dozens of feet, and reached the edge of the other side of the clearing...
But unlike others, his eyes first noticed the black figure that emitted the fireball - the figure's limp and prone posture, which almost made him realize in an instant what was happening over there.
That should be one of the legendary influences of the Whispering Forest.
The Whispering Forest is a forest that has been surrounded by countless strange and dangerous rumors. It is a genuine wilderness that has never been cultivated. Human beings can only move in this place that is protected by swamps, evil beasts and monsters.
The edge of the forest is wandering, but this is also a legendary miraculous realm influenced and protected by primitive magic power. There are treasures buried under the surface that humans can never imagine. The forest is full of weird things, not only are there all kinds of monsters, but magical plants are also alive.
Boom. There are even legends that almost all kinds of magical plants on the entire continent can be found here, even those that have been proven to only grow in extremely special environments.
But these are just appearances.
The distribution of vegetation here is so disordered that it is impossible to find any laws that can be called scientific. Those magical mineral veins that are rumored to only be seen once are mixed together, and there are magical monsters in various climate zones and habitats.
, beasts, and the root cause is that the chaotic power distribution in this area has disrupted the ubiquitous magic network in nature.
This was the 'high opinion' of a low-level magician after he was drunk. It did not attract any attention among the mercenaries. Only Edward bought him a few drinks because of it... Unfortunately, he disappeared from this place the next day.
He didn't come back from the chaotic jungle, so Edward didn't know the deeper meaning.
But he has heard the mages among the mercenaries talk more than once. Here, spellcasters may face strange risks at any time - their power will dance uncontrollably, explode, and even backfire.
Oneself.
Although the probability is not high, it is by no means something that can be ignored
He has seen more than once, scenes where spell casters among the mercenaries were harmed by their own power - it was nothing to be burned by flames or lightning, and it was normal to lose their hands and feet... Of course, most of them
The unlucky guy who has experienced this will only have the descriptions of some of his companions left in the end...
But if this kind of backlash happens to a mage who really touches the top of the Demon Network, what consequences will it have?;
