Although he quickly killed two large water elements just now, the price he paid was bruises on his chest and ribs. In addition, the left side of his thigh was also punctured by a harpoon.
There is no way around it. When a group of sahuagin surround you and take advantage of your opportunity to deal with a large water elemental, and attack your back like crazy, it will be difficult to escape even if you have extraordinary agility.
Not to mention that he still only has 18 points of agility.
Moreover, before he was about to kill the water element, Woody also activated the effect of the cat's eye potion again in order to avoid sneak attacks on his vital parts by the monsters, and avoided several sneak attacks that resulted in serious injuries.
Otherwise, his situation will only get worse now.
But everything was worth it, at least the large water element had fallen, and the barrier of the mansion was finally saved.
As Woody thought about it, he let his whole body sink into the mud like a tide. He felt the tremor caused by the "Stone Walking Technique", and after making sure that all the sahuagin nearby had dispersed.
Only then did his head emerge from the wet soil.
Fortunately, he used the spell attached to Thor's ring flexibly just now. Otherwise, in his current state, facing the remaining sahuagins head-on, even if he killed them, his final result would probably be worse than lying on the ground.
The sahuagin on the ground aren't much better.
After sticking his head out, Woody quickly collected the trophies that he had not had time to collect. After picking up the three water element cores that fell on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief. These are still worth some money. After all, he wanted to summon water.
Elemental materials are equally rare.
Woody originally wanted to escape from the soil, dispel the magic and return to the mansion, but he immediately changed his mind. His instinct made him choose to sneak into this land again without hesitation.
After counting silently for a minute, he slightly probed his head. Just now, he sensed an inexplicable vision sweeping towards this place, which was very dangerous.
Obviously, more than 90% of them may be the group of spellcasters who sensed the death of the summoned large water element.
The perception just now may have been detected with the help of the spell "Detection Guard" or "Insight of the Magic Eye".
However, Woody's face did not show any panic, but was thoughtful.
Low-level scrying spells and invisible units are difficult to detect, let alone creatures hidden in the ground.
He was not worried about being discovered, but was thinking about whether he should go there.
That’s right, come to your door!
The main reason is that he happens to be in the state of Thor's stone magic right now. High walls and soil cannot stop him, and no one can notice him moving in the soil. If he can kill the caster, it means once and for all, and tonight's crisis can be completely eliminated.
.
What's more, he still has a chance to use stone magic. If he can't beat it, there is absolutely no problem for him to run away.
Low-level priests have no means to retain monsters walking through the mud. This is not the ocean.
The only thing you need to worry about is that he may be forced to hand over his spells and escape before he gets close.
However, this problem was dispelled by the data that came from the panel.
That is, he discovered that after the war, his accumulated experience points had exceeded 5,000, and there was even 100 left.
Among them, the majority of the experience was the shark lizard beast that died on the beach, and the remaining experience was made up by three large water elements, plus scattered sahuagin, crystal worms, etc.
Not too fast or too slow, since the requirements for level up have been met.
Woody didn't hesitate for a moment and directly raised the level of the Demon Hunter profession that had not changed for several days.
In the retina, a row of data torrent appears again:
——"The Demon Hunter profession has been upgraded to level 5."
——"Acquire 21 (18+3) skill points and increase 14 (10+4) health points."
——"Acquire new feats (choices)."
——"Get a new seal (choice)."
——"The demon hunter professional level has reached the second level!...Understood the combat skill [Hunting Step]..."
…
Woody exhaled slightly and finally reached the second level.
Originally, he wanted to seize the night's rest in the wilderness after leaving Palermo to quickly upgrade.
After all, there are many monster nests in the wilderness around the city. The reason why he made so many potions was not only to guard against sneak attacks by monsters on the road, but also to prepare for the next adventure and upgrade.
If you want to pass through the tunnel hidden under the Crescent Mountains, the minimum required level to go to Northland is level 5.
However, now that he has completed his goal ahead of schedule, it will make his subsequent journey more relaxed and comfortable. He only needs to sit in the carriage and wait for the plan.
Putting everything in his mind aside, Woody refocused his eyes on the data in his retina.
The increase in health points has alleviated the slight pain and injury. It should have turned into a mild injury. The allocation of skill points is not urgent for the time being. Now he is not sure what emergencies will happen next.
There is no rush.
The extra skill points allow him to better control whether he is fighting or defending.
Thinking of the scene where he met the drow before, Woody is now wary of any possible events.
What Woody cares about more is the extra expertise, the choice of seals, and the last piece of advanced information.
Needless to say, there is no need to say too much about the choice. The fifth-level demon hunter has three optional specialties just like those who have been upgraded to the third level. The only difference is that the choice of seals has changed from two of three to one of three, and the professional has been upgraded to
Level 5, after reaching level 2, you will automatically learn a combat skill that matches your body.
It was this skill that immediately stunned Woody.
——"Combat skill "Hunting Step": In countless battles, the demon hunter has learned a unique step of his own from the mutated bloodline. This kind of step by mastering the bloodline can allow the demon hunter to carry out hunting.
When attacking forward, a spell-like "dimensional jump" will occur. The demon hunter's body will briefly disappear into the air, and then soon he and his weapon will appear in a space one meter away."
"Demon hunters are said to be created by warlocks. It seems that this is not groundless. Because of the aftereffects of the magic potion, their bodies are filled with the blood of various creatures, which will appear one by one after death. Look! This is a very typical flash dog.
...Oh, this is the succubus... How much potion did he drink? Damn it! - In the anatomy class, the mage was fiddling with a corpse. When he moved from the ankles to the lower limbs of the corpse, the old mage finally
I couldn’t help but complain."
…
This shouldn't be a combat skill that can only be mastered at the second level!
If we go by the standards, at least it is a combat skill that can only be understood after Woody reaches level 10 and level 3.
After all, the hunting pace is just a simple pace at first glance compared to the combat skills of other professions.
But for experienced players, as long as they grasp the interval between when the body disappears from the plane for a short time, they can even dodge the arrows that are fired directly at them, leading to the famous scene where a person passes through the arrow and the arrow is unscathed.
It seems that it was because of the cat eye drops just now and the experience in the previous life that I automatically realized it!
Woody suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. No matter how much he speculated, the facts were before his eyes.
All he needs to do is to calmly accept the memory instinct that comes with this data.
Soon, Woody's brain instinctively mastered the secret of how to seize the short opportunity to move his body through space when rushing forward, as if he had practiced it countless times, and he was extremely skilled.
But now that his body is still in the soil, he cannot try it for the time being. Woody can only suppress his desire to practice, and then looks at the three specialties and three seals that the demon hunter can choose after level 5.
.
"Monster Hunting" (Winter Wolf): In order to find the beasts and monsters hiding in the wilderness, the demon hunters of the Winter Wolf School use various alchemical potions to strengthen their five senses and can pass through the air or the traces of blood remaining on the ground.
To track the location of the owner of the blood stain, no monster can escape their tracking. "Perception +3, Tracking Traces +3"
"In my eyes, your smell is as clear as the smelliest parsley. It's like a chain in the dark, you can't break free, but I can see it all - Winter Wolf School of Demon Hunting
Mentor Grayon."
"Alchemical Assimilation" (Civet): Demon hunters of the Civet School not only have a full understanding of the efficacy and properties of herbs and monster materials when they are exposed to herbs and monster materials for a long time, but your body can withstand more demons than other demon hunters.
Poison toxicity. "The number of potions you can drink at one time is +1, the poison damage is +2, and the immunity is +3."
"Damn it! You are the monster! I am not! Thank you! Maybe you are the ones who really should leave this world! - When the vampire met the demon hunter and tasted his blood."
"Defense Breaker" (Shadow Snake): After a long period of assassination activities, the demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School have understood how to deal with enemies hiding in turtle shells. Whether it is relying on brute force or skill, he always
Can know how to use the weapons in hand to find gaps in the enemy's defense and cause real damage to them. "Insight into Weaknesses +2"
"You yourself know that as long as I don't die, no matter whether you hide in a noble's castle or under the shield of a mage, you will never feel at ease. So, never betray someone like me - "Snake Fang"
Capers.”
…
The three specialties are obviously of much higher quality this time compared to the last time. Whether it is the tracking of the Winter Wolf School, the increased body resistance of the Civet, or the targeted defense breaking of the Shadow Snake, they can all improve his current abilities.
There are some shortcomings.
Woody had almost no hesitation. As a player with rich combat experience, he naturally knew which of the three specialties was most useful to him.
The only expertise point is undoubtedly used in the "Defense Breaking Vanguard" expertise that has accompanied him in combat for a long time.
To a certain extent, this feat is not so much like the monk's breath locking, but more like the sword master's heart sword perception. They all use rich combat experience and past memory judgment to find out the caster's protective shield.
One of the weakest points.
Obviously, compared to the first two, this can improve his combat effectiveness more intuitively.
To be honest, for him who has now opened the prophet plug-in, it is not as useful as expected, and the civet one relies too much on magic potions, and there are other alternatives for taking potions many times.
Feeling the memory instinct surge again, Woody quickly focused on the new seal while gradually digesting it.
The demon hunter's sigil is not like a specialty, which changes from time to time, and most of them will not go wrong.
If his memory was correct, among the sigils that the demon hunter could choose for the second time, there was one that could successfully enable him to fight against the spellcaster.
To a certain extent, second-level demon hunters can be regarded as true demon hunters. The former can only be regarded as apprentices at best, and only later can they truly have the ability to fight against spellcasters.
Woody focused his consciousness on the selection of sigils, and the next second, the data of the three sigils appeared in front of him in a triangular shape.
"Spider Touch"
"Blighted Soil" and "Order of Repulsion".
"Spider Touch" (Dharma Seal): After a gesture, your palms and soles will secrete mucus like spider silk. With its help, you can briefly climb on rugged terrain. Note: The load is within 70kg.
"Blighted Soil" (Seal): After a gesture, when your left hand with the seal comes into contact with the next creature, that creature will be affected by withering for a short time, and its strength, agility, and constitution will all be exhausted. Resume after minutes.
"Order of Repulsion" (Seal): After making a gesture, a transparent cone-shaped force field will appear in front of your palm, which can be used to repel, stun, knock down or even disarm opponents. You can also destroy any opponent. As for a solid obstacle, the force of the force field is equivalent to your hard push.
Woody didn't even look at it, and directly chose the "Order of Repulsion" seal, a magical skill recognized among demon hunter players.
This is also the reason why he was so confident after learning that he had been upgraded.
In some cases, the command of repulsion is more useful than some methods against spellcasters. Not only can you use the command of repulse to change your body position to avoid spell attacks, but you can also hit the caster with an almost instantaneous seal. Caught off guard.
Of course, how to use it also requires skills.
Methods such as edge shoveling, yarn blowing, and imbalance can cause the caster to be seriously disturbed when reciting the spell, thus directly interrupting his spell.
For Woody, these techniques are already familiar to him.
Low-level mages generally have low concentration, and his repulsive order can almost interrupt spellcasting 100% of the time.
Feeling the repelling seal slowly forming on the back of his left hand.
Woody's anxious heart was relieved. With it, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed when facing the spell caster.
After choosing his expertise and seal, Woody naturally had no reason to hide in this land.
He began to try to find traces of the sahuagin spell caster. The water element in the mansion was killed by him. With the flame barrier to rely on, the guards of Edith Manor should be able to last for a while. Of course, if he goes back now, he can make losses Reduced, casualties will also be reduced.
But if you really want to end things once and for all, you can only attack the real mastermind of this war group.
But this time, he who successfully advanced is no longer the previous prey.
