Chapter 102 Tracking and Anti-tracking (1) (A real base is about to be opened!)
"Isa, how's it going?"
"The target is indeed very powerful. The poisonous banelings did not complete their mission, but they injured the target's mount!"
"Really? That's not bad!"
In a deserted and icy plain, Xue Hua was sitting on the back of a cockroach and moving quickly towards the stone wilderness. The poisonous banelings left in the woods were of course his idea. At that time, he just wanted to confirm the tracking method of his opponent, and
He was trying to see if he could use the huge destructive power of the poisonous baneling bug to kill his opponent by surprise. Unexpectedly, although he failed to kill the assassin, he had an unexpected gain.
If the opponent's mount is injured, the tracking speed will inevitably slow down, and he will have more time to plan the route and cause some trouble for the assassin.
It's about a day's walk from his current location to the Stone Wilderness. He has the map in his hand that the King Insect has scouted in advance, which can save him a lot of detours.
"Master, the king insect behind reported that the assassin is on the way. He can indeed track your specific location!"
"Oh? Let me take a look?" Xue Hua switched his field of view to the king insect and saw Jericho riding the hell horned horse chasing him. There was an obvious patch on the right hind leg of the hell horned horse.
Although the corrosion scar has begun to heal, the wound still affects the wildebeest's speed.
However, even so, is this horse still a little too fast?
Xue Hua was shocked to see the injured hell wildebeest still running at lightning speed, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to overturn the table.
Damn it, even if you have the word "hell" in front of your name and an extra horn on your head, aren't you still a horse? How can you run faster than the F1 formula?
"No! We will be overtaken if this continues! We have to give him some fun!" Xue Hua secretly gritted his teeth and ordered Isa to hatch eight poisonous banelings again and let them ambush the opponent's path.
And this time, Xue Hua ordered all the poisonous banelings to target the horse!
I let you run so much!
...
Xue Hua continued towards the Stone Wilderness, but left eight poisonous banelings behind.
But this time, the poisonous baneling trap did not have the desired effect.
Jericho discovered the poisonous banelings lurking underground through unknown means from far away, and shot a dagger made of pure shadow energy to kill them one by one.
The range of this attack method is not short, and the power is not small, causing Xue Hua's original idea of sending alien dragons to harass completely went bankrupt.
Although this guy no longer has trap skills, he still has long-range attacks!
And the poisonous baneling trap is useless, this guy seems to be able to detect lurkers!
Seeing the assassin chasing closer and closer, Xue Hua seemed to be able to hear the hoofbeats of the hell wildebeest!
"Damn it! What should I do?" He swallowed, covering his head and thinking hard about countermeasures.
"By the way! I don't know if this trick is useful! Isa, let the Overwatch King Insect bring out a few mimic hatchlings and make them look like me, and then get a few springtails and take them away to other places.
Run in the direction!”
Xue Hua, who was in a hurry, remembered that the Supervisory King Insect had the ability to hatch mimic larvae. He decided to try this skill. There was no other way. If it didn't work, he had to let Tunam lead the insect swarm up and fight for his life!
Soon, three mimic larvae transformed into Xue Hua, and were carried by two springtails one after the other, running in three different directions.
"Isa, let's also change direction and go a little further from the east."
"Yes, Lord!"
...
Less than two kilometers behind Xue Hua, Jericho leaned on his horse and chased madly. His intuition told him that he was not far from his goal.
Every time he walked, he would take out the small pocket watch-like tracker and take a look to make sure he hadn't been left behind.
So far, the tracker has cooperated with his trace observation, making him convinced that he has not taken the wrong path, and the traces along the way are getting fresher and fresher, which means that he is indeed approaching the goal!
This kind of tracker is a gadget he brought back from Harrogas. Each tracker can only be used once, and can only be used on one person. Since it is handmade by a skilled mage, the output is not high.
And the price is extremely expensive.
This thing requires the target's ** tissue to track the target. The distance is very long, and the effect is good.
But it's really too expensive, and he only has a few of them.
The one in my hand is the last one left.
Originally, he still had one, but not long ago, the "adult" asked him to take away the tracker. It is said that it was wasted on the guy he was chasing.
"Hmph! What a bunch of rubbish! Six assassins of more than ten levels can't actually defeat a necromancer of less than ten levels?"
There was a trace of sarcasm on Jericho's lips, although he also admitted that the little necromancer's summons were indeed weird enough. They could burrow into the ground, self-destruct, and were quite powerful.
so what?
He has lived for hundreds of years. What kind of genius has he not seen in these hundreds of years? What kind of genius has he not killed?
Geniuses are those who are alive.
Dead...
Nothing!
Thinking of this, Jericho took out the tracker again and prepared to determine the location.
However, this time the tracker's display made him a little dumbfounded.
I saw the pointer on the tracker swinging to the left, to the right, and then trembling violently on the spot, as if it wanted to split itself into two so that it could point in several directions at the same time.
"What's going on?" Jericho knocked the tracker in his hand, but when he picked it up, he saw that the pointer was still moving around.
"Damn it!" Jericho cursed and tightened the reins in his hands.
"Oh...oh...good boy...good Tracy..." With one hand, he calmed down the little dissatisfaction of his beloved horse, while the other hand held the tracker and shook it violently.
"This damn rag!" After shaking it for a long time, he found that the tracker was still pointing everywhere. He was so angry that he almost crushed the rag.
But after hesitating, he put the tracker back in his pocket. The killer's instinct told him that this should be his target playing tricks.
However, temporarily losing the guidance of the tracker, Jericho could only rely on his own trace identification skills to barely find Xue Hua's direction.
From Xue Hua's previous route, Jericho had already guessed that he might be going to the Stone Wilderness.
But the junction of the Stone Wasteland and the Cold Fields is different from the junction of the Cold Fields and the Blood Wasteland.
There is only one passage connecting the Cold Plains and Blood Wasteland, and both sides of the passage are rocky mountains that are difficult for birds to cross.
There is a smooth road between the stone wilderness and the icy plain. Some professionals say that if you are walking on the icy plain and suddenly find many large rocks, then don't doubt that you must have arrived.
Stone wilderness.
Of course, this rumor is exaggerated. There is a special energy film between the Cold Field and the Stone Wilderness. This film is like a restriction rune hidden at the entrance of a cave, used to seal off monsters in an area.
, this is the masterpiece of the ancient Horadrim mages, but due to the large scope and the passage of time, this restricted area effect has almost only a very weak layer left.
However, when professionals pass through this layer of film, you will have a distinct feeling, and this feeling will immediately tell you that you have passed through an area.
But this rumor also confirmed how vast the border between the two places is, which is why Rogge did not choose to continue to regain the Cold Plains.
However, this vast bordering land now brings trouble to the assassin Jericho, because he cannot accurately know where Xue Hua will enter the Stone Wilderness.
But in the end, he chose the freshest trace route and followed it.
Just as he desperately wants to restore his skill tree, the motto he believes in is - it is better to make mistakes than to do nothing.
