Sarah wielded a heavy stone club and led Wiltok and others to run towards the north of the forest, but they were still surrounded by shadow beasts.
The shadow beasts are all white, crawling on the snow, blending into the surrounding environment, making it difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. Wiltok's perception attribute is as high as 19 points, and he can see them clearly with just a glance.
There are about 70 of these monsters. They look like big bats without membrane wings. The muscles in the back half of the forelimbs are extremely developed, as if they are about to burst out from under the smooth and hairless skin, but the forearms are skin and bones, with 1.2
meters long, with a pair of three-toed claws at the end of its forelimbs, like three one-foot-long inwardly curved daggers. In fact, the shadow beast's upper body is very strong, but its lower body is short and thin, with a fin-like growth on the spine of its back.
The bone spurs extend all the way to the long tail, making the overall look deformed and ugly. They mainly rely on their forelimbs and tail to crawl on the snow. Because their bodies are flat, they will not sink into the snow, but can gain faster maneuverability. This
This is also the main reason why Wiltok and the others were surrounded by a herd of shadow beasts.
The shadow beast is a scavenger in the black forest. It usually spends the day and night, feeding on humus, worms, carrion, and even animal feces. Its thin and smooth skin can change color quickly according to the surrounding environment, making it extremely difficult to be detected by predators.
Sharp claws and tail spines are their weapons against natural enemies. When the female shadow lurkers begin to build a nest, the shy and mysterious shadow beasts transform into fierce territorial defenders. In order to protect the female beast and the eggs in the nest, they will not hesitate to protect the female beast and the eggs in the nest.
Eliminate threatening intruders at all costs.
The shadow beast is a second-level monster, medium-sized, male, with the natural abilities of color change, hard claws, group attack, and rotating flying cutting.
Color change: Shadow beasts can quickly change color, including skin, blood, and eyes, to perfectly blend into the environment.
Hard claws: The claws, bone spurs, and tail spikes of the shadow beast are extremely hard, comparable to fine iron, and are excellent natural weapons.
Group attack: The shadow beasts know how to fight together, dazzling the enemy by interspersing and moving sideways, covering each other, and dividing the enemy formation. They are difficult to lock on because the color-changing talent makes them all look the same.
Rotating Flying Cut: The shadow beast is light in weight and has a long and powerful tail. It can use the power of its tail to eject into the air, hug its body into a ball, and then spin at high speed, using its sharp claws, bone spurs and tail spines to cut through enemies within ten meters.
You must be careful with the tail of the shadow beast. The power and speed of its ejection, combined with the hard and sharp tail spines, are enough to penetrate high-quality hard leather armor. The good news is that the defense of the shadow beast is very low, and bows and spears can deal with them.
Sharp weapon.
Listening to Mayor Mine introduce the characteristics of shadow beasts and seeing them with your own eyes are two completely different feelings. These more than seventy deformed monsters even have white eyes. They sometimes crawl on the snow and growl, sometimes move sideways and jump.
As long as Vertok stares at a shadow beast for more than three seconds, it will immediately curl its tail and jump sideways with the help of amazing elasticity. The movements are quite flexible, and under the cover of its companions, its snow-white body is close to
The snow seems to have disappeared.
To be honest, it is difficult for Vertok to lock a shadow beast. If you are not careful, you may be distracted by other shadow beasts and lose the target you originally locked.
Wiltok didn't know how good other people's eyesight was, but he could understand everyone's feelings just by imagining more than 70 toads of similar colors and sizes jumping around in front of him. He probably felt like vomiting.
The problem is that shadow beasts are not harmless frogs. They have extremely sharp claws and are monsters with a life level of two.
Vertok was not afraid of the Bald-eared Butcher, but he felt terrified when he saw the shadow beasts. There were too many of them. Even if Vertok had seven arms and eight legs, he would definitely die if he fell into the herd.
.
When they first broke out, Max disappeared. He may have left the team on purpose. Dark hunters lack the ability to face the enemy head-on, so it is easier to survive by wandering alone, but other professionals cannot.
Everyone could only hold tightly together and form the tightest iron barrel formation, fearing that the shadow beast would divide the team and defeat them one by one. The shield guards were responsible for the defense in the front and rear directions, and the professional swordsmen protected the two wings, keeping the bow warriors and Velto
The siege is in the middle. Sarah wanders around the outside alone, killing all the shadow beasts that are close to the defensive formation.
She charged quickly, and her huge body pulled the snow on the ground into two flying waves. The heavy stone sticks bounced back from bottom to top, drawing an arc more than ten meters long, and pulled a shadow beast away.
It exploded violently, and even the bones flew away.
Sarah's savage charge was unstoppable and as fast as lightning. It was indestructible within ten meters and was so fast that it was like teleporting. The terrible pressure made Wiltok stunned. He finally understood why the fat cook was called "
"Unstoppable Sarah", with this kind of strength and speed, any martial arts skills are just fancy in front of her and can only be crushed.
Wiltok thought of the Bald-Eared Butcher who had received Sarah's full blow and was only injured but not dead. He couldn't help but feel afraid for his previous rashness.
Although Sarah was brave, she alone could not relieve the team from being surrounded by a herd of shadow beasts. The shadow beasts initially besieged the fat cook who had left the defensive formation, and she was beaten into meatloaf one by one with a stone rolling pin. She paid with her life.
At the cost, the shadow beasts became smarter. They avoided the fat cook and made the half-elf professionals and Wiltok their primary targets.
Sarah had to take care of the others and could not chase them too far. She could only use brutal impact to kill the shadow beasts trying to sneak attack the defensive formation, but this powerful combat skill would definitely consume her physical energy seriously.
The iron barrel formation laid down by Shield Guard Huck can currently protect itself, but its movement speed is impressively slow. Fortunately, the sharp arrows of the Archer can threaten the shadow beasts within 60 meters.
A snow-white shadow beast just jumped up and was caught by Wiltok's corner of the eye. He quickly opened his bow and fired an arrow in the crowd. The triangular feather arrow picked up the floating snowflakes and accurately hit the shadow beast's neck. Immediately afterwards, another one
More than a dozen feather arrows arrived one after another, killing the shadow beast on the spot.
"Wil, well done!" The third-level archer instructor praised Victor's archery skills while shooting another shadow beast with a bow and arrow. The color of the arrow marked the target for other archers.
The second-level archers are all expert archers. They are good at rapid shooting, mobile shooting, and aimed shooting. However, the shadow beast integrates with the environment and knows how to cover each other, which dazzles the second-level archers and makes it difficult to lock on a target.
The third-level archer ignites the secret blood, stimulates the ability to shoot blindly, and uses his keen intuition to shoot enemies in the distance. The color of the arrow feathers is like a conspicuous mark, helping the second-level archer to focus the fire on the shadow beast of the arrow.
If the archer instructor didn't know Wiltok, he would think that he was also a third-level archer. Otherwise, how could he accurately hit the difficult shadow beast with his bow and arrow?
But they all witnessed with their own eyes that Wiltok's strength, speed, physical fitness, combat skills, and explosive power were not inferior to those of the third-level shield guard, the third-level swordsman, the third-level dark hunter, and the third-level archer. He seemed to have no expertise.
, and they all seem to be specialties.
The half-elf professionals don’t know how Wiltok did it, but they firmly believe that his future is limitless. Boss Bottom is right. Only under the leadership of Wiltok can the Adventurer’s House regain its strength and regain the hidden treasures.
Wealth and property in the city-state.
In fact, everyone trusts and supports Wiltok mainly because they are influenced by his charming characteristics, and their views on him are biased towards the good side.
Wiltok also knew nothing about his own charming qualities. He had no other ideas now and tried his best to kill the shadow beasts surrounding him.
However, the fatal effect caused by the piercing damage of the feather arrow is very poor, and it is far less effective than the immediate effect of the sword slash. Even if the triangular feather arrow hits the vital part of the shadow beast, it will not be killed for a while until it pulls out the arrow. Will
Tok would rather wait and let the shadow beast hit by the arrow die slowly, but the second-level archer warrior couldn't find his target, so chasing the shadow beast hit by the arrow was a round of rapid fire.
Killing a shadow beast with a dozen arrows is really not very efficient. But we don't have time to waste time here. We must kill the shadow beast quickly and fiercely, force the beast group to retreat, and then break out as soon as possible.
On the other side of the forest, the excited howls of the Orc Butcher can be heard from time to time. The shadow beast's attack may not have much effect on them, and every time the Butcher kills a Shadow Beast, the blood rage value will increase. If the Shadow Lurker does not
Appearing, the Orc Butcher has the upper hand in this forest.
Winter is the season when shadow lurkers lay eggs and hatch, and they generally do not leave their nests. Originally, Hurant's dragoons used the characteristics of shadow lurkers to guard their nests, first clearing out its minions in the herd, and then dealing with the lone ones.
It would have been easy for the Shadow Lurkers. But they didn't come, and the Shadow Forest became the home of the Orc Butcher.
Once the bald-eared butcher kills the herd of beasts besieging him, he will be free to deal with the half-elf profession.
Wiltok's worry did not last long. From the depths of the forest in the southwest, two sharp stone axes flew out, whistling and hitting the tight formation arranged by the half-elf professionals.
The bald-eared butcher's body glowed with blood. He stood next to a thick pine tree, laughing wildly as he threw heavy stone axes at the iron barrel array where Wiltok was. With the powerful explosive power of the orcs, he threw
The throwing ax has an exaggerated range of 150 meters, which is far beyond the effective counterattack range of crossbows and javelins.
Vertok raised his bow and shot two powerful flying axes, and cursed angrily: "The bald-eared orc is a bastard!"
There is no doubt that the bald-eared butcher abandoned his companions, stood out from the encirclement of the shadow beasts alone, and specially ran over to attack the half-elf professional with a long-range throwing axe!
No matter how accurate Bald Ear's flying ax is, it can fly more than 150 meters, and half-elf professionals can easily dodge it. However, while everyone is avoiding the flying axe, the iron barrel formation will inevitably become scattered, which immediately causes a chain reaction.
The shadow beasts rushed over from all directions desperately, their long and powerful tails pressed against the ground, launching themselves into the air like a spring, their flat bodies curled up into a ball, like a high-speed rotating flywheel, slashing at the half-elf.
of the head.
As the shadow beast cut in, the iron barrel formation instantly collapsed. Vertok's front, back, left and right were all deformed and ugly monsters. He immediately discarded the bow, grabbed the long sword, and used the battle breathing method, and a cold sword light flashed.
The meandering stream flowing in the rock crevices passed over the bodies of the three shadow beasts and cut them flat, but did not harm the surrounding half-elves.
The half-elf professionals had no time to applaud Wiltok's exquisite sword power. They ignited their secret blood, stimulated their abilities, and fought with the surrounding shadow beasts.
A second-level swordsman had just killed a shadow beast, and the sharp claws of another shadow beast swept across his calf. The protective gear and muscles were rolled over, and blood flowed freely. He only grunted for a while, and then hit him with a flying axe.
Hit him in the head, and the blood spattered on Vertok's leather armor.
Shield Guardian Harker roared, used rock skin to resist the claws of the shadow beast, and swung the shield ax mounted on his arm to kill two monsters.
"Sister Sarah, take Wiltok out! Others spread out to cover, and then break out individually!"
The fat cook rushed over, frightened the beasts away, grabbed Wiltok, and turned around to run away. The shadow beasts were obviously afraid of her rolling pin, so they hid on both sides and turned to attack the scattered half-elf professionals.
The scenery of the snowy forest quickly receded, and Vertok could only watch helplessly on Sarah's shoulder as the shield guard Harker rushed left and right, and was finally overwhelmed by the shadow beasts.
The bald-eared butcher laughed silently, grabbed his axe, and quietly chased Sarah's back from the edge of the battlefield.
Quel'ngra gathered the power of ten brothers and barbarian warriors to kill Gangyan, the leader of the Taku clan, and was promoted to the sixth level of massacre. Tu'er decided to kill the weakened Sarah independently. Only in this way could he have a chance to heal his inner trauma.
After gaining more power, he will seek revenge on the round-eared half-elf who brought shame to him.
The fat cook ignored Vertok's objections and carried him through the snow forest. She ran for several kilometers in one breath and got rid of all the shadow beasts. Then she suddenly stopped, put Vertok down, and said: "Viltok
, my child, please leave quickly."
Wiltok had noticed the bald-eared butcher following him. He shook his head and said, "No, let's go together."
The tall and fat body with bald ears stood out from behind the big tree, carrying an ax and looking at Sarah coldly.
The fat cook touched Wiltok's head and smiled gently: "Okay, wait until I kill it, and then we'll go together. But don't interfere in this battle, I'm afraid I'll accidentally hurt you."
Sarah dragged the rolling pin with one hand as she walked towards Bald Ear step by step. The snow collapsed under her feet, leaving a straight trace. She expressed a clear and strong will to her opponent: in a head-on confrontation, no one should run away.
Bald Er was taller and burlier than Sarah, but Sarah felt like a mountain crashing into him, and her indomitable momentum put great pressure on his soul.
When their strength reaches their level, the battle of souls and wills can often determine the outcome of life and death.
Bald Er understands that if he chooses to evade his opponent's edge, Sarah's spiritual will will directly reach its peak and launch the most violent attack on him, and he will be afraid of the idea of avoidance and will not be able to give full play to his full strength, even if one
Tiny mistakes can be fatal.
If he wants to heal his spiritual trauma by killing the powerful enemy in front of him, he must face the test of his spiritual will!
The fifth-level butcher of the Split Rock Tribe took a deep breath, picked up his ax, and walked towards Sarah at the same speed.
The two sides got closer and closer, reaching within touching distance. They stopped at the same time and faced each other in silence. Only the non-stop wind and snow flowed.
Sarah was facing the wind, snowflakes fluttered on her face, and she blinked her eyelids for a moment. Bald Er, who had been still just now, took the lead, and the big ax struck Sarah's head instantly like weightless snowflakes. The next moment
, the seemingly light ax will become extremely heavy and can split Sarah's head.
Once you master the Heart of the Mirror, you can change the intensity of your power as you wish.
Sarah tilted her head, but she was still chopped on the shoulder by the Orc Butcher's axe. Bald Er burst out with strength, but felt as if his ax had hit a rock, splitting Sarah's flesh and blood and receiving strong resistance.
Sarah allowed the bald-eared butcher to chop her left shoulder. She raised her eyes, and there was a deep cold that froze everything in her eyes. The gray-white stone rolling pin in her right hand had become crystal clear, with several fine cracks on the surface, forming
A circle of ice crystals and an elemental crystal stone stick stabbed the Orc Butcher's chest and abdomen.
Frost spread on the butcher's naked skin, eating away at the red light that represented the power of blood rage. Bald Er felt a deep chill running through his heart, and wanted to completely freeze himself. He let out a fierce killing roar, raising his blood rage value to resist.
Invasion of frost.
Bald Ear can obviously withstand the pressure and fight Sarah to the end to see if his ax splits the opponent's body first, or if he is frozen into a popsicle by the power of frost first.
However, the power of ice triggered by Sarah is eroding Bald Er's blood-rage power, evoking the shadow of fear deep in his heart.
In Bald Ear's sight, Sarah's image at this moment overlapped with that of a tall half-elf with round ears. Perhaps that was not a half-elf, but Bald Ear would never forget that the monster's fists shone with white-gold brilliance.
, with just one punch, he beat his father, the old chief of the Split Rock Tribe, to pieces. Bald Er roared and rushed towards his father's murderer, but the blood-rage power he was proud of was shattered by the opponent's blow.
, and his own confidence was completely shattered.
Bald Er was frightened, so he threw away his axe, and with the help of the push of the crystal stone stick, he flew upside down for more than ten meters, fell a few times on the snow, got up and fled in panic into the forest.
Sarah was no longer able to catch up, and noticed that in the shadowy forest, Max and an orc shaman were fighting silently. She decisively threw away the crystallized stone stick, pulled out the ax that had penetrated the shoulder bone, and used the frost
He sealed the horrific wound with all his strength, grabbed Wiltok who was coming over and ran out of the forest.
"Let's go quickly, there are enemies behind us!"
Not long after, Wiltok and Sarah rushed out of the shadow forest and came to a large forest glade covered with snow.
The fat cook at the Adventurer's House finally couldn't hold on anymore. Her huge body collapsed and fell heavily on the snow. The wound on her shoulder burst open again, and the gurgling blood suddenly dyed a piece of pure white snow red.
"Sarah, how are you?" Wiltok hugged Sarah's head and asked eagerly. He pressed her shoulder with his other hand and tried to heal the bleeding wound.
Sarah reluctantly opened her eyes and said in a weak voice: "Wil, my child, thank you... I'm sorry, I can't walk anymore... If you can escape, I hope you can help the adventurers
Children of the family. In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to the throne of the Earth Mother, help me ask the ancient guardians if they can forgive me, a sinner..."
Sarah, the fat cook who had been taking care of Wiltok, finally came to the end of her life. Wiltok was silent for a long time, then leaned into Sarah's ear and whispered: "They will definitely forgive you, I promise..."
"Sister Sarah has always regarded you as her son. In fact, she has no son. She should have remembered it in the last moments of her life." The fourth-level dark hunter staggered over and whispered to Wiltok.
Vertok asked without looking up: "What's Sarah's crime?"
Max shook his head and said sadly: "I don't know what a crime that is...Sister Sarah was originally a female warrior of the Hemer tribe. During a battle, she absorbed the fetus in her belly...Her unborn baby
The child should be from the Taku clan and merge with Sister Sarah. Then, Sister Sarah became like this."
