The bow string vibrated rapidly, and the black arrow feathers moved forward like lightning. In the dim firelight, there was only a blurry shadow that flickered and disappeared.
Pointing directly at the gray figure’s ribs!
The gray figure has been kneeling in front of the big door. The target is really too small, so the best choice is to point at the weak spot of the creature at this slightly tilted angle. But the black light has an inch-long,
A stainless steel arrowhead with three edges, as long as the stabbing position is roughly correct, internal bleeding can also quickly destroy the life.
There was a soft sound, and just when the arrow was about to touch the gray tattered robe, a green light film spread out in the air, blocking the arrow halfway.
Edward's brows furrowed.
But this was just the beginning... Before the figure moved, the second and third black flashes had already followed!
It is impossible for a pulley bow to have such a rate of fire, but now Ed has activated the magical effect on the necklace - the power of the bull, the most popular one among the first-level spells among mercenaries, with the help of its catalysis
, the hunter's power doubled almost instantly, and coupled with the divine ability blessed by the priest before, the iron bow that originally required a pulley to open became as light as an ordinary short bow in his hands.
Five fingers and four arrows, the light and shadow of the four feather arrows continued one after another. The green light film flashed twice in the air, and finally died... Then, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was followed by steel piercing**
My heart palpitates loudly!
The reason why protective arrows are called protective arrows, rather than arrow ineffectiveness, is because it is basically just a layer of force field - it can only generally produce a kind of torque, deflection, and stagnation of the arrow's inertia.
It is like a layer of elastic grease covering the outside of the target. Therefore, not only arrows, but also ammunition such as flying rocks will not cause damage. However, this layer of force field cannot have infinite thickness after all. If the flying object
The speed of the object is too fast, the volume is too large and the weight exceeds the power of arcane magic. Naturally, it is difficult for it to be completely deflected.
When several arrows hit one place in a short period of time, this effect will also be weakened.
The steel arrow tore through the skin, penetrated the muscle, brushed the ribs and nailed into the internal organs... The gray shadow let out a muffled groan and shook violently!
Communication with the gods is also a manifestation of magic, so being interrupted midway means a terrible price... Clinging around the big gate, the vague red mist suddenly tightened, and then seemed to be
Some invisible force stirred up the violent wind! At that moment, the earth trembled, and the sand and stones around Dajie were swept into the air at this moment, spinning out a huge vortex of clouds!
In the middle of the whirlpool, a roar full of anger rolled away like thunder!
All this process happened in just a short moment... When the whirlwind spread around, a group of jackals were revealed in the dust, and the roars turned into low roars of pain.
But their misfortune did not end, on the contrary, it had just begun - Edward's movements did not stop at all... The moment the storm stagnated, he had already pulled the bowstring again, and among the humming lows, four more long bows were drawn.
Arrows flew out! They attacked several jackals around Da Ya who stood up in panic and didn't know what was going on!
Figures fell down one after another, and screams were heard... At this time, the distance between the two sides was only a hundred feet, and the jackal's big pole stood in the open space. The hunter aimed at the fatal wound like the throat and heart, using a short bow.
The arrows and arrows are specially crafted. Even if they miss the target slightly, it is enough to cause serious injuries with bleeding!
The result of the superposition of several good and bad situations is clear and simple - in the short period of time when the sand and dust caused by the storm finally fell, the jackals had lost seven lives! That was one-third of the number of people kneeling near the Great Gate.
More than one!
But Edward, who had caused all this, sighed slightly in his heart.
It would be nice to have a companion or two...
The enemies here are obviously elites, the elites among the elites... I attacked them unprepared, but they were not confused at all. It was just a matter of eight arrows, and they had already adjusted their status.
...The jackal hit by the eighth arrow was only seriously injured, and now, with the terrifying wolf howl, the remaining nine jackals have stood up one after another, and their dark red eyes have glanced slightly, and they have locked on a few.
A hundred feet away, the enemy existed in the shadows, and with long and short howls, they were already rushing towards me!
And the most important thing is that the arrow that attacked Wu Mu was not fatal...
The bleeding caused by the triangular arrow is very terrifying. Even a large lizard will be exhausted due to blood loss after only an hourglass time. However, the opponent is not one of those brainless animals - the gray figure holds its head high.
Roaring, the face reflected in the firelight was twisted and dirty, covered in oil paint, but it was clearly a human face!
How come the gnolls have a human as their shaman?
This is not the right time to think about this kind of problem... What Edward is concerned about is that although the other party's chanting has stopped temporarily, it is obvious that the ritual has not been interrupted.
Edward pulled the bowstring again and fired two arrows at the figure.
Of course, this is already an attempt to contain the figure. When the figure starts to move, the effect of the protective spell is maximized, and the arrows of the strong bow can only fall to the ground, and the witch priest is already roaring at this moment, and another layer of luster
Inspire it! Protect yourself more securely.
But the protection could not make up for the impact of the moment of stagnation. Even though Wu Mu roared again and again, the red mist still began to dissipate.
This made Wu Mu extremely furious.
Because his opponent was standing at the end of his sight, in the shadow of a big tree, staring at him without any cover. It wasn't until all the jackals around him started to pounce that they turned around and disappeared into the deep black shadow.
middle……
…
The jackal who was the first to rush into the jungle slowed down.
He twitched his dark, moist nose, and the corners of his fang-covered mouth pulled out a cruel expression. Although the human moved very quickly, the dense forest was the absolute domain of the descendants of the wolf god. It was not just about light and shadow, smell, body temperature,
Everything can be captured by the swaying branches. The wolf will always be the king of the hunting ground. Those humans who are accustomed to living under the shelter of piles of wood and stones can only become prey here!
The tip of his toes touched the ground lightly, and in just a few leaps, he had already seen the figure running forward.
The jackal roared without hesitation, arched his waist fiercely, and shot himself out like an arrow. With the help of this sprint, he raised the knife with both hands. It was the speed of this charge that made him
He stood out from those races and became the elite escorting Wu Mu. He has already split the bodies of hundreds of opponents, and I believe this time will be no exception.
Closer, closer, the Jackal's dark red pupils shrank suddenly, and in the next moment, he would split that person's body open!
Resistance came from the handle of the machete.
But it was not the feeling of slashing into the human body. The Jackal only felt a blur in front of his eyes. The figure seemed to disappear from his field of vision, and then...a subtle chi chi sound lingered in his ears.
Is it a mosquito? It's really annoying... But where did that human go? The jackal twisted his neck, trying to find his lost target, but then he found that he couldn't do it... The scenery in front of him was out of control.
He spun around and felt a tearing pain on his back... and then everything in front of him went black.
…
very good.
The headless body in his field of vision spun and fell into a bush, and Edward narrowed his eyes.
The strange smell of metallic deposits spread in his mouth, and the water seemed to have evaporated, making it horribly dry. But there was a kind of power that controlled his whole body. This power made him tighten every muscle in his body, as if he was holding his hands tightly.
With the long sword in his hand, his eyes are locked on the opponent who may appear next moment, his breathing and heartbeat, his eyes and movements...
Reaching out and drawing out the sword, there was only a slight feeling of contact... The blade of the sword was like a swallow crossing the water... Without spending too much power, it had already passed through the neck of a jackal, and then the figure also passed through the monster's neck.
Sliding past, the monster tried to cover the wound that spurted blood in panic, circled helplessly, and finally fell into the dust.
And then the third one…
Although the Jackals are fierce and tenacious, they actually have many shortcomings - their intelligence is somewhat low but they stick to the rules. The ordinary members even use weapons to attack in the same way... They like to advance in a bouncing way.
Accompanied by a harsh long howl, it seems to be fast and powerful enough, but it does not change the top-down attack method, no matter whether it is a rusty long knife or a giant axe...
So as long as the disturbances are ignored, they are no more difficult to deal with than a stronger farmer wielding a hoe.
Of course, this is just an ordinary jackal.
As age and combat experience increase, among these humanoid monsters, there will always be some that are particularly outstanding - such as the guy who just broke through the adventurers' defense formation, and several others who are driving their companions.
Guys... although their fighting style is still rough, it is more integrated with the advantages of strength and speed, especially in terms of coordination, and they also have a certain degree of strategy.
Here they come.
A giant ax and a long sword crossed from the left and right sides of the body. Although the surface of the weapon was already rusty, the sound it made was still harsh and compelling when driven by the power of the monster! And the timing and position of the shot were
, the control is also quite good, and all escape routes have been blocked in an instant.
So Edward could only choose to fight hard.
The collision between the long sword and the long sword burst out a few sparks. The jackal's eyes widened and he watched in disbelief as the long sword in the human's hand slashed into his shoulder - the superposition of divine and arcane magic made Edward's
The strength increased to a considerable level. He let out a low roar and pressed down with both arms. The long sword had torn the opponent's body apart, diagonally splitting it in half. Then he took advantage of the situation to spin around, and the sword sharply struck again.
With added force, he penetrated the gap in the simple leather armor and stabbed into the chest of the fourth enemy!
The jackal roared, tightening his muscles, trying to lock the opponent's weapon in his body... However, he immediately discovered that it was a futile effort - the human weapon had four blood grooves on the left and right sides.
Mercifully guiding the blood out of his body, almost in the blink of an eye, the dry muscles were no longer able to transmit any power.
His efforts had achieved some results, at least making the opponent's weapons temporarily ineffective... The jackal man rolled his eyes with difficulty, wanting to see how this hateful opponent was killed by the three most powerful warriors in the tribe before he died.
torn together.
However, he was doomed to be disappointed... Just before the three most powerful jackals pounced, the skinny human raised his hand, and two or three small black shadows were thrown towards his opponent, and then they hit the ground with an explosion.
Open it, and a puff of smoke will spread in the wind...
Then the war cry instantly turned into a shrill howl, and the three gnolls suddenly reached back to hold their long noses.
Their sense of smell is sensitive, but it is too much. Certain smells that are common to humans are as intolerable as strong acid. And this time the human used an extremely irritating smell that they rarely encounter. Not only
Not only my nose, but even my eyes started to shed tears!
However, the injured wolf became more ferocious.
This sudden attack made the jackals howl hoarsely, but they had no intention of retreating. They covered their noses with one hand and continued to rush towards the human... even though their vision and smell were greatly affected.
However, these monsters rely only on their sensitive hearing to identify the enemy in the dark. Edward's body had just changed direction, and they had already rushed over!
Before their eyes were injured, they had already seen clearly that the opponent was just a thin human being. Not to mention the three of them together, even one was enough to break his fragile neck. The jackal howled and rushed towards the figure with maximum strength.
Passed by!
His eyes were filled with scarlet red.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be spinning uncontrollably, but it was getting higher and higher... The jackal widened his eyes in confusion, and noticed that some things seemed familiar. They were brown fur and strong claws, and the figures of his own kind.
?But isn't there something missing? "My neck... my body... my legs hurt so much..." they thought before losing consciousness.
The torn corpses of the three jackals rolled to the ground. What killed them was the trap that Edward had arranged before the attack.
The gray silk thread that was pulled just right to the monster's throat was a steel wire that was slightly thicker than ordinary cotton thread. The steel wire refined using the drawing method was extremely tough and sharp, and could even withstand the weight of the boy. Edward usually used it as a weapon in the woods.
It can be used as an auxiliary means to jump between thicker branches - and as long as it is used properly, it can also break the neck. Or it can be used as a trap.
After being choked by chili powder and communicating with each other in tears, naturally there was no way to clearly see the sharp blades hidden among the branches of the trees, but they had to maintain speed and charge... Therefore, it was no surprise that the three strong jackals were killed by their own
The power was divided into mutilated corpses!
The hunter let out a long sigh of relief.
The abundant strength in the body has faded, and the power of magic and magic has been exhausted. But after the strength disappeared, fatigue also wrapped around the body in an instant - this was the small impact of the spell in the inferior amulet.
Although the side effects are not exhausting, the strength in the previous period will cause a certain amount of fatigue.
But now, the hunter's front is clear.
The purpose of revealing his body from the beginning is to let the opponent know the number of people on his side, paralyze them, and let them divide their forces... Otherwise, if the opponent gathers people, he will not be able to handle it single-handedly.
In fact, after the initial shock, he felt more at ease - since the sacrificer was not a jackal, there were naturally far fewer jackals that could be mobilized, and there was not even a troll nearby. Obviously, for
He can drive both kinds of monsters, but he cannot command them carefully.
Observing the distance between the two... Edward gritted his teeth, pulled out a scroll from his belt, and unfolded it. The runes on the parchment were ignited one by one, and then he lightly moved his right hand forward, and his fingertips exploded in an instant.
Give off a subtle light.
But when he retracted his hand, he felt a slight dizziness in his head, causing his body to sway slightly. It seemed as if something was being evacuated from there.
His heart tightened slightly, knowing that he was no longer suitable to use magic scrolls today.
Although it is very convenient, even faster than real spell casting, the scroll is not unconditional to use - because it requires the user's energy to mobilize the flow of magic, Edward also trained for a long time before he could control the activation of magic items.
method, but even so, he cannot use more than three scrolls every day, and the number of rings cannot be higher than three, otherwise, there will be a risk of backlash.
In the Whispering Forest, this value may be even lower.
…
And on the other side of the battlefield.
The Wolfman's shaman and animal husbandry were yelling and cursing, trying to mobilize more people...
The human's cunning and strength surprised him. Even though he was severely injured in one blow, he still thought that this was just a fish that slipped out of the encirclement and just ran to his position by mistake——
But he soon realized that he had been careless. Not only did the other party kill the guards scattered around him in a few breaths, but even the three jackal warriors beside him disappeared without a trace...
If the first and second times can be said to be coincidences, then the third coincidence cannot be justified. As a spell caster, he naturally has intelligence that far exceeds Tongji, but now there is not much power around him that he can call upon. If
If this continues, the opponent will appear again soon and use bows and arrows to eliminate all the helpers one by one.
Of course, it can take action. Just one or two curses are enough to make the strongest human being as weak as a chicken, but that is regarded as giving up the ritual. This will not only make the fellow racers who are dealing with the prey immediately lose their strength and become passive,
And it will inevitably lead to terrible punishment - the Gnoll Prince has never been a tolerant god. In fact, according to human classification, it is a demon lord. Of course, you can't expect him to have any good intentions.
This large-scale application of divine magic is actually a kind of sacrificial activity. If it is interrupted midway, not only the host, but also the participants will probably be severely punished - but that cunning human obviously also knows
These are the ones who attacked!;
