Chapter 8: Turnaround or Dead End

It was already half way through the night, and there was a gentle breeze on Xingchen Lake, causing ripples like fish scales to form on the water surface. In the dark night sky, the radiant Ximana quietly shed a faint light, reflecting the entire lake area into a silvery gray.

It looks beautiful and peaceful.

The sound of killing on the Vogdin Breaker has obviously weakened. The total number of crew members and players on the deck is less than twelve, and more than half of them are dead and injured. And the lizard people have not received any favors, and there are probably only a few left.

There are about a dozen or so monsters, but among these dozen monsters there is a lizard commander, a powerful monster like the lizard lieutenant, which makes the players frustrated again and again. As the defense range continues to shrink, they are actually forced to the deck.

A corner.

Wrought Iron held the heavy ax that was still dripping with blood in one hand and supported the heavy steel shield with the other. Although on the surface he still looked sultry and glaring, his feet were trembling slightly. He glanced around with tired eyes.

Looking at the situation of the battle, he thought to himself that if he still had any physical strength, he would definitely split the green head of that damn lizard commander with an axe. Unfortunately, his physical strength was seriously overstretched.

Wild Stone and another human ranger were fighting against three lizard warriors on the mast. If his physical strength was at its peak, Wild Stone's explosive burst would have been able to kill these three damn reptiles in about ten moves, but now he had to

With the help of a human friend, he could only manage a draw. But even so, his fierce fighting power shocked every player. This guy had been injured at least ten times since the war started, but he was as ordinary as a mixed-blood human.

However, Barbarian Stone still became more and more courageous as he fought. In the later stages of the battle, he killed almost half of the enemies.

"Barbarians have long blood..." Xiao Fen actually had the time to think about these messy things at this time. It must be said that his brain was different from ordinary people. But he was still calm. Of course, he could not escape the embarrassing situation - his left arm was injured.

He had a shocking gash, a bleeding scar on his forehead, and his hair was disheveled during the battle, which made him look like a savage.

The only person on the scene who can maintain his appearance is probably the weird elf bard. This strange man who looks like a beautiful woman is calmly shuttled among the enemy formations with a rapier in his hand, flying like a butterfly.

It can be seen at a glance that this guy has definitely practiced martial arts in real life, and his skills are not bad.

It's a pity that it is difficult for one person to change the situation of the battle. Moreover, although Yun's skills are flexible, they are not very lethal. However, his songs provide everyone with a lot of convenience. Generally, when a bard sings, he can also provide various attribute bonuses to his teammates.

, but Yun’s war song is not that simple. The exciting tune seems to really cheer people up. This is a matter of the artistic conception of singing the war song itself.

"I guess this guy is a singer in the real world." Xiao Fen casually shot the lone lizards with his crossbow while trying to figure out Yun's origins.

"This guy's acting skills must be terrifyingly high..." he thought to himself.

The ability of the NPC crew is obviously lower than that of the players. Now only three of them have been killed. This is because the players desperately protected the captain and first mate. After all, without these two people, no one knows how to sail the ship.

, find the channel.

"Apple?" Pushing back the enemy who was pressing on him, the elf poet jumped back slightly and landed right next to Xiao Fen. At the same time, he asked Xiao Fen coldly without looking back.

Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that after killing half an apple for a long time, the figure of that ghost boy was missing. Looking at that guy's usually playful and smiling face, he must have given us away, or rather, these lizard men are actually him.

It's... But this idea is really ridiculous.

"I don't know." There was a hint of uncertainty and doubt in his tone. The halfling came to him so suddenly, and now that he thought about it, there seemed to be something vaguely wrong.

Yun turned back coldly, with a flash of light in her beautiful eyes, and a strong killing intent burst out. He quickly moved the sword in his hand, and the silver light suddenly appeared under the moonlight, and the slender sword blade penetrated without any suspense.

into the head of the attacking lizard lieutenant...

"He dared to lie to me, this is his fate!" The words were as cold as ten thousand years of ice. It was rare to hear this elf poet named Yun say a complete sentence in a long sentence. Unfortunately, Xiao Fen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

That terrifying momentum is really not what a player should have...

After killing the enemy with one sword, two abnormal blushes appeared on Yun's face, and his feet also appeared weak. It was obvious that he had exhausted his last strength due to unreasonable anger.

Xiao Fen had no time to sigh, and was not in the mood to inquire about the private affairs between Yun and Half Apple. The most important thing now was to save his life. The elf poet's act of killing the lizard lieutenant had already attracted the lizard commander to focus his attack here.

The final round of general attacks finally began.

"Omodin is here!" the dwarf roared, and threw the heavy dwarf ax in his hand without hesitation. Then there was only a crisp sound, and the lizard warrior who rushed at the front unexpectedly

He was hit head-on and dragged back by the huge pulling force. Finally, half of his head was nailed to the mainmast with the dark ax head.

"And you damn reptile!" He took off the five throwing axes from his waist and threw them out one after another like meteors chasing the moon. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough and only hit the lizard warrior on the left.

in the water...

The melee broke out again, and the wild stone was busy blocking the forged iron, which had no weapons and strength, to prevent any attack in this direction. As a result, the battle near the mast became dangerous. The human ranger was surrounded by three enemies.

He forcibly stabbed a certain lizard man in the waist with a short sword, completely ignoring the stone ax swept from behind...or perhaps he had already lost the strength to continue the fight and was determined to kill one of them!

Xiao Fen was shocked. The middle road was originally defended by Manshi and the human ranger, but now Manshi rushed to the right wing to protect Wrought Iron. If the ranger died again, wouldn't the middle road be opened, and then he would be helpless?

Wouldn't it be an ugly death for a mage with such power?

"No!" He instantly unfolded the remaining scroll, and the magic missiles whizzed out with strong light, blowing the lizard man's head into bloody pieces.

But even this did not save the fate of the human ranger. Another lizard warrior fiercely 'embedded' the stone ax between his ribs, blood splashed out, and the man turned into a corpse.

"Damn it!" He hurriedly opened the second scroll. It must be said that although the scroll was very expensive, it was also very effective. With the power of the scroll, he killed two more enemies in an instant. If it weren't for the dozens of alliance coins in this scroll,

If he just got one, Xiao Fen almost wanted to use the scroll to conquer the world. It was so easy to use. No spells or gestures were needed, but the power was still the same. It was really refreshing.

"When I have money, I will make a ninth-level scroll and throw it away, hehe." As he backed away, he did not forget to think about these dumbfounding thoughts.

10:11. On the surface, the numbers of both sides tend to be balanced. Unfortunately, there is an unsightly commander on the Lizardmen side. The BOSS-level Lizardman commander is at least a level 8 monster. According to what they have left now,

With such pitiful physical strength, even if they were ten to one, there was no telling who would win, not to mention that the other party had a younger brother.

"I'll cover you! Mr. Wizard! My name is Holy Wings!" Xiao Fen was retreating when a tall black figure appeared in front of him. This man wore an extremely eye-catching silver half-length armor and held a hand with exquisitely carved

He has a patterned two-handed giant sword, short flaxen hair, and a resolute expression on his face.

"Paladin!" Xiao Fen blurted out.

It's not surprising that he made such a fuss, but you need to know that in Canaan, paladins and druids have their own special birth points. The spawn points of druids are mostly in the forests of the south and central areas, so one or two often appear nearby.

As for the paladins, their birth points are mostly located in major cities in the north, or on the orc fronts further north. This was the first time he saw Paladin in the Star Lake area.

"Why didn't I see you just now?" Xiao Fen quickly calmed down and asked again.

"Sorry, I'm late." The other person avoided answering, but he didn't lie to him, which made Xiao Fen feel a little better about this person.

"Lizard Commander?" The paladin showed a surprised expression, and at the same time glanced towards the west of Star Lake with a slightly relaxed look.

Xiao Fen noticed the subtle change in his expression and looked to the west. However, there was nothing but the dark lake and the distant mountains with dark shadows in the background. But even so, he still instinctively linked this lizard attack to this saint.

The samurai made contact.

"This guy's mission? Or is it the plot?" he thought.

Holy Wing obviously didn't want to talk much. He raised his giant sword, gently pressed the sword ridge to his lips, and said silently: "Saint Tanres bless me!"

Then, he approached the exhausted dwarf wrought iron, pressed his hands against the wrought iron's back, and chanted in a low voice: "Holy blessing!"

A circle of white light shone out from his hand, which was surprisingly soft. The white light spread slowly over the dwarf's body, repairing almost all the wounds on his body. Wrought Iron waved his hand in surprise, and found that he had actually recovered.

With most of his strength, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Holy treatment." Xiao Fen said quietly.

"I know, I don't need to remind you, you damn liar!" the dwarf said with a blush on his face.

After the treatment was completed, Holy Wing raised his two-handed sword again and shouted loudly: "Detect evil!" Following his rich voice, a white light covering a range of 30 feet suddenly shot down from the top of everyone's heads, and only one person could be seen.

The lizard warrior and the two players all emitted a faint red light. This red light was like the most eye-catching label, loudly reminding everyone - "These guys are evil!"

The paladin frowned, Xiao Fen's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered: "Those two players are going to be in trouble."

"How do you say that?" the dwarf asked doubtfully.

Xiao Fen rolled his eyes at Wrought Iron and didn't reply, but he knew in his heart that the paladin is a powerful profession in the game, but it is also the most difficult role to play. The camp setting in Canaan is very strict, and your words and deeds

, every choice may cause your alignment to change. However, for most professions, alignment can be chosen within a wide range. The only exception is the paladin. To choose to become a paladin, the player must conform to the lawful good alignment.

standards, and for modern people... well, this may be a bit difficult. So now there are far more former paladins than actual paladins.

In the face of evil, whether they are monsters or players, they are all subjects of paladin judgment, even friends are no exception - if he does not want to break away from the ranks of paladin, that is why Xiao Fen said that the two players are in trouble

.

"Who is he?" After staring at the paladin holding the sword for a while, the dwarf turned back and asked.

"I, a scammer, have no obligation to remind you!" Xiao Fen replied angrily.

"Cut!" Wrought Iron shook his head disdainfully and went to find his own axe.

After confirming the target, Holy Wings went straight towards the battlefield. This guy used his armor and heavy sword to cut straight and vertically without any tricks, forcing the lizards back several yards. In the blink of an eye, there were two of them.

A lizard warrior lay down at his feet.

After a while, Wrought Iron, who had regained his strength, returned to the formation again. Seeing that the situation had greatly improved, Xiao Fen did not join the battle hot-headedly. He watched calmly for a while and found that the lizard commander did not know.

When he had retreated outside the battlefield, he kept summoning various wild animals to support his side.

"Don't waste your energy! Kill the commander first!" He quickly came to Holy Wings and patted the opponent's shoulder as a reminder.

"Huh?" The paladin was slightly stunned. Of course he knew he had to kill the lizard commander first, but there was nothing he could do with the dozen or so lizards in front of him blocking the way.

"Look at me! Colorful jet!" Xiao Fen recited a spell in his mouth, raised his hands above his chest, and the colorful rays of light radiated from his hands in a cone shape. All the lizards who were hit by this gorgeous magic fell into drowsiness.

He lay staggering all over the deck. Unfortunately, several players in the melee were not spared either, so they had to sleep with the sworn enemy from a moment ago.

"Well done!" Holy Wings smiled for the first time. He didn't waste any time and strode towards the lizard commander who was hiding aside to summon his allies.

Xiao Fen blushed slightly. This magic was originally a skill he used to escape. On the surface, he pretended to everyone that he had used up the memory magic. In fact, how could a cautious guy like him not leave a way out for himself? What if just now?

If there was no turning point, then when he was the last one left, he would use this magic to buy time to dive and escape.

"Hiss!" The lizard commander's eyes flashed, and he actually summoned two skeletons to rush towards the Holy Wing. The Holy Wing's eyes turned cold, and he raised his left hand slightly, and a burst of bright light comparable to the sun burst out from his left arm.

As soon as he came out, the two skeletons disappeared into thin air.

"Dispel the undead?" Xiao Fen opened a scroll behind his back, preparing to share some experience with the lizard commander when he was about to die.

The lizard commander had obviously expected that the other party had this trick, but he just wanted to use it to exchange for some time. The moment the paladin killed the skeleton, it completed the auxiliary spell on itself - Bark Technique!

"Pounce!" The giant sword of the Holy Wings made a dull sound as it struck the lizard man's body that was hardened into bark, but it did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent, only leaving a shallow mark.

"Hiss! Stupid...ignorant!" The lizard commander actually uttered human words. He waved his hand and threw a fireball towards the sacred wings.

Xiao Fen was horrified. The fireball spell had the greatest damage in the early stage. He ducked behind the mast to avoid it without even thinking. Just kidding, if this fireball were to be used in real time, half of the ship would have to be blown up!

Unfortunately, things did not go as he expected. The fireball did not explode. It just rolled towards the sacred wings, bursting into a small ball of fire and burning his chest black.

"Damn it, blazing magic ball... I should have thought of it a long time ago. How could the opponent be a druid and know the fireball technique... I'm careless!" Xiao Fen was ashamed, but he no longer dared to hide his secrets, and hurriedly removed the magic bullet in his hand.

The scroll was used, and the lizard commander was beaten until he roared.

Holy Wings seized this opportunity and slashed the commander who had lost his center of gravity with a sword, causing him to roll several times. Although the bark technique was very tough, the force attached to the two-handed weapons was not something that the lizard commander could withstand.

It started to move backwards, almost to the side of the ship.

"Wood Shaping Technique!" Not to be outdone, the lizard commander jumped back and moved his hand close to the side of the ship. The wooden ship deck seemed to come alive. It stood up with a swipe, blocking the lizard's path.

Between humans and divine wings.

"Evil, get out of the way!" Holy Wing roared, the giant sword slashed diagonally, and the temporary wooden wall was split in half as sawdust flew.

"Flame Knife! Fire Technique!" The lizard commander showed an evil smile, a light flashed in his right hand, and a burning war blade suddenly appeared, blocking the paladin's attack with a choking sound. At the same time, its left hand burned.

He lit up a ball of fire and fiercely pressed it against the neck of the holy warrior.

Since the Holy Wings held the sword with both hands, they had no choice but to withdraw their swords and defend themselves. Unexpectedly, the lizard commander was so cunning that the flaming knife in his right hand suddenly turned and opened a burning gash in the chest of the paladin...

"No!" Xiao Fen hurriedly opened the penultimate scroll and used magic missiles to force the lizard commander back, thus saving the paladin's life.

"Damn it, I'm going to help!" The wrought iron tiger pulled out his own ax and roared and went to kill him.

"Come back!" Xiao Fen suddenly thought of something, but it was too late. The lizard commander's eyes radiated a strange light, and the dwarf warrior stopped suddenly, then turned and rushed towards the sacred wings.

"Charming humanoid creature!" Xiao Fen gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"Stupid humans! Hiss!" The lizard commander faced Xiao Fen, seemingly preparing to deal with this mage who had been against him.

"I'll do it!" A figure holding a thin sword flashed in front of Xiao Fen. You could tell from his standardized and cold tone - this was Yun!
