After setting up camp, the pedestrians quietly walked into the dark jungle to the east. Although it was only after dusk, there was no trace of light under the tall red trees, and the long queue
Only occasionally would someone take out a fluorescent gemstone and shine it around
A pale cold light cannot reflect much of the area. It can only illuminate the dense layers of aerial roots around it and the shadowy rows of red tree trunks in the distance. But correspondingly, this weak light is not easy to see in a dark environment.
was discovered.
Of course, the decent dinner that Xiao Fen and the little girl had always longed for disappeared with such a change of plan.
This made the two of them, especially Sophia, a little downcast. As for the eyes of both of them, they turned green in the dark, like cats lurking in the swamp grass.
"Be careful, there is a ditch ahead."
"Much welcome"
"Thirty feet, about two feet wide
A low-pitched reminder came back from the front. I couldn't tell who the voice belonged to, but Xiao Fen saw in the gray field of vision under a luminous lens that it was a monk player. Of course, that person was also the person at the front of the message.
It’s just the information brought back. There are two elves (dark vision) and a dwarf (dark vision) on the front line of the team. Ma Qihan also prepared several dark vision spell scrolls to facilitate leading the entire team forward, while the others are more
Most of them just move forward blindly based on their perception.
Of course, all the elites here are used to marching like this. Except for the little girl, who has never experienced such a battle and had some bumps and bruises, everyone else tried not to make a sound.
The mage's vision has already become extremely adaptable to this environment under the blessing of the dark arcane rules. Especially, compared to what he described as "sunlight." After the curse of the artifact disappears in the environment, he can perceive the blank in the dark. Agility modification
Returning to the mouth, it was as if the perception of the surroundings was suddenly magnified several times, even some subtle noises became clearly audible, and the shackles on the hands and feet fell off, no longer seeming heavy.
You must know that Xiao Fen's agility correction under daylight is 4, even walking is almost a problem, but in the dark it is equivalent to directly gaining the old agility point. Instead, he becomes a semi-agile character who runs like flying. He can almost
He felt the shadow of his concubine under his dark robe flowing silently along his limbs and bones, containing a power full of resilience. In this state, he was confident that he could easily cope with any trouble.
At least escaping is not a problem.
There was a sound of water in the darkness, and someone crossed the ditch in front.
Then there was another sound of water splashing. Then someone turned around and reminded: "Ten feet, count your steps."
The scouts of the Bloody Slayer maintained their formation through such simple exchanges. Xiao Fen saw several people in his team pause for a moment. Then they calculated their steps step by step and walked to the edge of the deep pool, waist deep.
Ge shivered and jumped into the water. Everyone held up their swords with both hands to avoid getting stuck in the roots of the trees below.
When Sophia was waiting, Xiao Fen held up a hand from behind to prevent the reckless little girl from falling into the water. After all, this was her first time marching in such an environment. If it were Keer, Mao Mao or
It's half an apple, which is probably more than enough to cope with such an adventure, but if it were replaced by someone else, such as wrought iron, it would probably be very problematic. Not to mention, the waist-deep water alone would kill Shudun'er.
As for the dragon ladies? I guess apart from Maari Bailey who is shocked that she likes this place, the others might burn this place down.
The mage has spells such as dark vision, but he intends to test Sophia's adaptability - since others can do it, there is no reason why Ran Yao Gold Coin's team members can't complete it.
But now it looks okay, Xiao Fen couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. While thinking about such things, the black-robed mage took out a simple map from the map box and browsed it. These sketches were all drawn by Ma Qihan
It was given to him and drawn by the scouts in the camp. It should have drawn the topographic map of this area, suitable places for camping, hidden supply stations and water flows, the general terrain direction and the general distribution of the Hands of Despair. From this sketch
When you go up to him, you can feel the heavy trust that the female conductor An has in him.
This kind of sketch is the key to the battle between scouts. The format of the name of the item is generally "Drawer." Summary of content. "Completeness." and "Number of copies." For example, Xiao Fen's copy is called "Drawed by the God of Strategy."
"Three Swords, "Topography, Topography, Camping Points and Enemy Distribution, Sketch, Roar, Copy (3)" of the area" This shows that it was drawn by this player called the God of Strategy, including terrain, topography, camping
Sketch of the Three Swords area with points and enemy distribution content.
The degree of completion is 92%, which is already very high. Copy (3) means that it has been copied three times. A sketch can only be copied four times at most, and copying a sketch is also very time-consuming.
Sketches cannot be delivered by carrier pigeons, and will definitely be dropped after death. Only when the completion of the drawing reaches 100% can it be taken to the rear. A map will be made by a real cartographer. At this time, the map can be renamed and then made.
The completed map can be copied and transferred at will, and it will not necessarily drop when you die.
Therefore, when scouts fight with each other, they often draw maps for each other and at the same time plunder other people's maps, destroy them or destroy them. Of course, breaking the argument requires extremely high document interpretation skills, and generally scouts will not invest so many skill points in this intelligence type.
In terms of skills, most of them are destroyed directly, leaving the other party to work for days or even weeks.
The battle between the scouts itself is a race against time.
There were only three copies of this map. Ma Qihan kept one copy for herself. Only the female commander knew the whereabouts of the other copy. She gave the other copy directly to Xiao Fen; this was a kind of trust. It was also
It is a kind of expression. Ma Qihan represents the Bloody Slayer and uses his own expression in exchange for the black-robed mage's expression.
However, apart from the terrain, the possible distribution of some Hands of Despair and hidden supply depots, Ma Qihan did not tell him any more information about this map.
"This place is called Lizard's Tail? What's the origin?" the mage asked, holding the map in one hand.
There was a strange silence all around.
Because the queen was about to be cut off, Ma Qihan assigned the remaining two warriors to Xiao Fen. One was a half-orc named "Hadlan". However, this fellow's appearance was much better-looking than Manshi, except for his light yellow and rough appearance.
Her skin and stature are quite different from those of humans, and her face shape is more human than orcish, obviously specially adjusted. There is also a soft half-elf girl named Bing Lan. She looks gentle and quiet and has a somewhat introverted personality.
He doesn't look like a warrior no matter how he looks.
There is another team, Ranger, nicknamed Second Hand, which refers to his speed and accuracy. It is said that apart from Knife, Gert and Midnight, his ranger is the most powerful in the camp, so Ma Qihan will also
He stayed in the post-breakup group.
There is also a warrior monk, a rare advanced level of Desire. Real Four. Xiao Fen forgot to ask, but the black-robed mage had simply classified him into the monk category.
These people are obviously the most elite players under Ma Qihan, and most of these elites happen to be thorns. They don't necessarily welcome Xiao Fen becoming their temporary captain. For example, what the mage asked is possible?
The monks and orcs chose to turn a blind eye to the question. As a girl, Binglan didn't have such a bad temper and wanted to explain it. Unfortunately, due to the face of her companions, she opened and closed her mouth. After a while, the second hand smiled and said
He replied: "Mr. Master, because there is a highland here with a large number of deep pools on both sides. The highland becomes narrower towards the east, like a lizard's tail. That's why it's called the Lizard's Tail. Most people think it's a lizard's tail."
It’s a dead end, but in fact it takes about five minutes from the easternmost river upstream to reach the woods on the other side.”
He deliberately kept his voice very low, mixed with the sound of rushing water as several people advanced.
There was darkness around everyone, and no one knew that there was a smooth road, and there was danger lurking there. The mage saw a giant python hanging from the canopy of the tree, quietly approaching Hadran. But the warrior did not notice it at all.
The sound of water as the group advanced almost covered up the sound of the python gliding slowly on the branches.
Xiao Fen didn't intend to remind us for a moment, but just continued: "In this terrain, if the hands of despair follow from behind, wouldn't we be in trouble?"
"More, our rangers naturally made them think that we went to the northeast, where the road is drier and easier to walk. Even if they were not fooled, they would only think that we went to the southeast. Although the terrain there is complicated, the
It's more conducive to concealment. Do you think someone would walk into a dead end by himself?" The monk snorted lowly and expressed his disdain for Xiao Fen's question.
"Sister-in-law is mainly afraid that the hands of despair will block us, but there is no need for them to block us on a dead end." Miaozhen added.
"What if the Hands of Despair also discovered in advance that this road is not a dead end? How are their mapping skills?" The mage asked while supporting the little girl who was about to hit a branch.
"That's impossible. It took us more than a week to survey this road. Boss Xiaodao was lucky enough to find it that day." Miao Zhi seemed a little dissatisfied with this statement: "Besides, the mapping technology of the Hand of Despair is also better than
We are not strong enough to go there. They have so much time."
Xiao Fen raised his eyebrows: "In that case, why don't you just go down this road from the beginning? Why are you so cautious?"
The second hand was speechless for a moment. The previous campsite was also discovered by Xiao Dao, an unusually secret place in the jungle. Before that, they also claimed that the hands of despair would not come here, but didn't the same happen in the end? That's why everyone
You will lose confidence. Although this road is a secret passed down by word of mouth among the scouts, there is no guarantee that the other party will never discover it, right?
It was at this time that Hadran heard Wei Wei's voice coming from beside him. The big warrior's expression changed, and he reached for the sword behind his back, and grabbed the pocket containing the glowstone with his other hand.
But he suddenly felt a sound of wind, and then the sound of splashing water. The orc warrior was stunned for a moment, took out the glowstone and waved it. Under the pale light, he actually found a python lying not far away with its white belly turned over.
The big man was startled. He looked up and saw that a shadow in the darkness was quickly sinking to the bottom of the water. He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked in that direction, he found that there was peace in that position.
The second hand on the other side was not slow to respond. He touched it almost as soon as the light came on. He picked up the python's limp body and said with a serious expression, "It's dead. All the bones in the body are almost broken."
The half-orc was startled for a moment, and turned back to look at the mage; only to find that the mage was looking at him expressionlessly.
"Did you do it?" Although he looked tall and rough, he was not an idiot, and he immediately asked angrily.
"Do you have dark vision?" The second hand holding the python asked another question.
But the mage did not answer his question, but silently pointed at the ranger's hand.
Looking down at the second hand, he found that the snake was melting little by little and became translucent. "Summon creatures!" He whispered, subconsciously throwing away the body in his hand and drawing out the longbow with his backhand. "There are enemies!" Ranger
The reaction was not unpleasant, he almost immediately turned around and rushed forward and whistled.
The team stopped for a moment.
"Sixty feet."
"Thirty feet."
"Twenty concubine feet."
As if in an instant, various rustling sounds sounded in the forest. The members of the Bloody Slayer in front shouted in unison, as if enemies suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods. The mage raised his head,
He could barely see the figure of the other party clearly, but he could also see the fast-moving shadows in the forest.
He was almost sure that there were no enemies in that direction before, but those people seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
However, it is normal for mages to be unable to detect enemies hiding in the dark, but there are so many rangers around them without any warning, which is a bit of a problem. Can the skills of the two sides be so different? Even if it is 2, focus on detection, listening and confrontation 3, we
A little stealth action wouldn't cause problems after being forced to close to this distance, right? Moreover, Xiao Fen had to show some magical aura through the python, otherwise the opponent would probably have to reach the surprise range before taking action.
This is really a blessing from God. The other party must have thought that there were no mages on this side, so they were so bold and arrogant in summoning natural allies. Of course, this also illustrates a problem. It is definitely not a matter of a day or two for the Hand of Despair to observe this group of rangers.
.
Thinking of this, the mage couldn't help but turned back angrily and said to these guys: "Is this your technique? The other party just missed the surprise range!" (Surprise range force ruler, if the attacker launches a surprise attack at this distance,
, which may cause the attacked party to fall into a state of shock)
Several Bloody Slayer players were blushing, but for the moment they couldn't find anything to say to refute.
"Brother Palin! When the little girl saw a few shadows coming towards us quickly, she couldn't help but draw out her two-handed sword and shouted.
"Come in front of me, these guys really don't know how to live or die." Xiao Fen took a breath, and the secret rules of darkness in the form of a crossbow appeared silently in his hand. He moved his hand slightly, and a shadow suddenly looked like an earth dragon. "
With a splash, there was a sound of water rising up from the bottom of the water. The end of the shadow just happened to wrap around a desperate wanderer who was rushing towards this side, his whole body wrapped under a black cloak. "Whoosh!"
Pull him up. Xiao Fen frowned as soon as he pulled this guy up. The power of the shadow tentacles is not very high, and the opponent is a rookie who can't even break free from the power of the shadow tentacles. He is not an elite hunting force at all, but
No one noticed how such a guy could break into such a close range. Xiao Fen felt that even with the blessing of advanced sharp eyesight, he should be able to spot the opponent.
But they didn't show up.
"There must be something weird here." With such doubts, he let the long shadow throw the man back casually, "pop, it hit a mangrove tree, and it turned into dots of white light and dissipated in the darkness.
.
Maybe the mage himself and Sophia didn't think there was anything wrong with this move, but it was obvious that Hadran, Miaozhen and Binglan were stunned. Even the monk couldn't help but wipe his eyes. They got it from the knife.
The news said that this mage is only a sixth or seventh level guy at most. He may have some weird spells that are more difficult. But it's not a big deal for me.
But now it seems that is obviously not the case. Can a sixth-level or seventh-level mage throw the scouts of the Hand of Despair to death like throwing away garbage?
Of course, they obviously didn't understand that the guy thrown out by the mage was a real rookie. Instead, they misunderstood that he was the most elite hunter unit of the Hand of Despair.
"What are you doing? These are just cannon fodder. Be careful of the enemies hiding in the dark." Xiao Fen immediately frowned and taught: "Second hand, spread the news immediately.
