Chapter 28 Lion Butchering
We were all waiting quietly. Little Lajiao held the bow and arrow in her hand excitedly, and looked up from time to time. She looked at her expression and wanted to fight quickly, without any fear. This little girl was so brave. Haven't she considered the consequences of being slaughtered by the lion instead?
I was also a little nervous. I hoped to meet it quickly and end this difficult waiting, but I hope I could not meet it and not face such a powerful enemy. I am just a rookie who has just been involved in the game, not a fighter.
Xue Wuxia is back, and she looks very excited. We finally won the grand prize. The tailless lion is indeed under the hillside. Everyone is excited and starts the action according to the arrangement in advance. The fastest Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan are tentatively attacked. The soldiers are divided into two groups to cover each other, gradually luring the lion group to the hillside. Xue Wuxia and the others are ambushing the top of the slope, focusing on attacking, and trying to kill the closest lion at the fastest speed. Afeng and Xinzhi guard are ambushing in front of them and are responsible for covering them.
Protective, once a lion is too close, they will fight to the death to protect the safety of the magician and the shooter. They are the key to success or failure of the mission. I was given the role of "observer", which means monitoring the movements around me and promptly sending out an alarm to remind them if there is anything. This is also considered taking care of me, otherwise I, a low-level thief, will definitely die if I face the lion head-on. I am a big man, but I have to be taken care of by a group of girls everywhere, which is really a little cowardly.
There are eight enemies in total, all of whom are adult lions, with strong combat power. Even if we act according to our plan, we may not be able to win. Everything depends on luck.
Nan Feiyan quietly approached the patrolling lion. As soon as it entered the range of the bow and arrow, it quickly shot two arrows and hit the lion. The lion reacted instinctively, roared, issued an alarm, and rushed towards Nan Feiyan.
Nan Feiyan did not dare to stay after shooting the arrow, and had already retreated to the direction of the hillside. The lion followed closely, and it was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it approached Nan Feiyan. Fortunately, Xue Wuxia and his team were relatively forward and just in time to provide support. The first-level magic "lightning arrow", "ice bomb" and "wind knife" plus two "knowing attacks" hit the lion chasing Nan Feiyan. It was caught off guard and let out a thunderous howl and fell to the ground, but then stood up and rushed over with a roar. At this time, the lion group also moved and began to gather here quickly.
Several consecutive rounds of concentrated attacks severely damaged the lion. Nan Feiyan flashed to the side without any danger, allowing it to turn back, and cooperated with Yun Wuying to delay the lion's group's actions. Afeng and the guardian of the heart also came out from the side and gave the lion the last blow. Xue Wuxia and the others seized the time to retreat to the top of the slope, waiting for the battle to welcome the arrival of the lion.
The seriously injured lion was quickly dealt with by A Feng and the others, but when they fought back, they bit A Feng, full of armor and three-star innate life, and one-third of the person was removed in one bite, making A Feng a little scared when he talked about it. Even Xue Wuxia changed his color. The attack power of this lion was really amazing. If it were a magician and a saber, it would be almost the same.
Everyone was alert and stared at the approaching lion group. Success or failure was here. I didn't dare to neglect and secretly wore the necromancer's badge. Fortunately, everyone was looking at the lion, and no one noticed me for the time being. Although the speed of the recovery of 5% health is not much, it can be of the highest use at critical moments. In this case, it is probably unlikely that I would want to hide my identity, unless I can watch others sacrifice.
The lion group came faster than expected. Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan dared not get close to them too much. The degree of harassment was limited, and their speed was somewhat beyond our estimate. The formation was relatively dense. We could not solve them before getting close. Casualties were inevitable. Someone must make sacrifices to cover the retreat of another group of people and prepare for the second strike. Otherwise, they might be wiped out. This is also a supplementary measure we agreed in advance.
I sighed and stood up. Even if others didn't say anything, the most useless thieves like me who have so far had to take the initiative to make sacrifices to protect their main force from retreating. If I don't have a second identity, Afeng guessed what I was going to do, stood up and stood by me and protected me.
In the surprised gazes of Xue Wuxia and the others, a black light flashed across my body. Fortunately, I didn’t lose face in front of the beauties. The third-level magic “Summoning the Undead” was lucky to succeed. A little vanity was a handful of 93 skeleton warriors suddenly appeared on the hillside, blocking between us and the lion group.
The sudden appearance of the undead legion caused the group of lions who were dying over to panic and slowed down. Xue Wuxia seized the opportunity and tried his best with everyone. He used magic bows and arrows to quickly kill the one in front.
The tailless lion king is worthy of being the beast king. He has some knowledge. He roared a few times, restrained the lion group, and rushed towards the skeleton warriors. I just asked them to be responsible for defense, delay time, and try not to let the lion group pass, giving Xue Wuxia and others the opportunity to kill the enemy.
Although the skeleton warriors were not opponents when facing the six lions, they were not afraid of death. They were numerous and fully utilized the characteristics of the human sea tactics. They continued to use swords and shields to hold up the six lions. Seeing that things had changed, Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan rushed back quickly and cooperated with Xue Wuxia and the others to attack one by one.
The war was very fierce. As soon as it came into contact, more than a dozen skeleton warriors turned into scattered bones. The speed and attack power of the lion were not comparable to that of them. If it weren't for too many, it would not be a threat to the lion at all. It was naturally not possible to be used as the main force of the war, but now it is the place to delay the lion's offensive rhythm. After a few bone knives were chopped down, the lion had to worry about it and spent time to deal with it. Alas, I'm sorry, these little brothers who I have worked hard to catch have once again become victims.
The unexpectedly emerged strong aids beyond Xue Wuxia's plan bought them precious time, adopted the tactics of concentrating superior forces and defeating the enemy in one by one. The magic was launched and the arrows were fired. My "fire phosphorus bomb" also joined in the fun, laying the fate of the destruction of the lion group. When the tailless king was unwilling to die with my last brother, the war was declared dramatically over, and everything went unexpectedly. Without paying a single casualty, we completed the first public mission of this absolutely perverted Eastern continent.
When Xue Wuxia and Xiao Chili and the others were excited about the "Ten People's Orders" in their hands, I hid aside and observed a silence for my undead brothers. This took twelve hours of labor to disappear in just a few minutes. It was not easy to get it, and it was too fast to lose it. I couldn't even leave one for me. Isn't this going to start over? This perverted task, this damn lion group.
The noise stopped, Xue Wuxia walked in front of me, and everyone else looked at me. This time, I can say that I made a great contribution. If I hadn't stood up at a critical moment, even if I could complete the task, I would have to sacrifice several people with me. I'm fine. If I went to the "Nether Space" to continue the game, they would probably have to think about it. But no matter how hard they said that everyone was doing the task together, if someone sacrificed because of my selfishness and strength, my conscience would be unreasonable. I am a useless rookie. No matter whether they accept me because of Xiao Chili or for some other reason, they still take good care of me. It is worth it to expose their identity.
Seeing Afeng, Xiao Lajiao and Nan Feiyan also had some surprise eyes. I'm afraid that even if they knew my background, they didn't expect that things would develop like this, and they could pass the level easily without any danger. In fact, it's not just them, I didn't even think that I could really summon all the ninety-three skeleton warriors. After all, I was just an apprentice undead wizard, and I only summoned more than a dozen last time. The summoning in the "Dead Space" does not consume mental power because of the "soul contract". Moreover, the role of the undead legion was beyond my imagination, completely restraining the attack of the lion group, and using their sacrifices to exchange for the fruit of our victory. It can be said that life is not necessarily great, but death is glorious enough!
