The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 011 Bloody Pit
…
"Ghost Guard Lv8 HP 20 Defense Max (Physical Immune) Weak to Thunder"
"Trait: Psychic Sensing Lv2"
"Psychic Sensing: Ghost Guard can detect all traces of life within the detection range. The detection radius is 'Ghost Guard's level - 3'*0.2 (unit: 100 meters)"
…
“What detailed information.”
Roger was thinking about upgrading his Qi Gazing Technique soon.
According to this formula, the perception radius of a Lv8 Ghost Guard is about 100 meters.
This location is very dangerous!
If we don't retreat in time, we will likely be exposed.
But Roger used hiding rather than stealth. Once he left the cover of the Paulownia tree and acted hastily, there was also a high probability that he would be discovered.
What's more troublesome is.
The body of the inferior dwarf was still burning, although there was only a small spark, but the ghost guards were extremely sensitive to fire.
As long as it flies over here, it will definitely find something unusual!
Unfortunately.
The ghost guard was indeed flying towards this side.
“I can only give it a try.”
Roger looked back and could vaguely see several figures on the hillside.
"Dorothy should be able to see it, right?"
He wasn't quite sure about this.
It was daytime now and his eyesight was impaired. He could not see the other person clearly and wondered if the other person could see him clearly.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he ended his "hiding" state and made a few gestures towards the mountain.
Then he took off his cloak, took out the Green Fly Sword, and lightly smeared a little rice paste on the tip of the sword.
This is "holy water".
It is a good thing that Uncle Terry brought from the Gem City. It has a strong restraint on undead monsters.
The lives of many undead monsters depend on "wisp of the dead" to maintain.
The low-level monsters' ghost fires were instantly reduced to ashes once they came into contact with the holy water.
Roger just tried it with the skeleton soldiers and it is indeed very useful.
Unfortunately, the amount of holy water was very limited, and Roger only got a little bit.
With the help of holy water, he was very confident that he could kill the ghost guard.
But whether it can be done without anyone noticing depends entirely on Dorothy.
…
The ghost guard left the tower and flew slowly to the river beach.
At this moment, the distance between it and Roger was very close to 100 meters.
Roger hid in the tree canopy, tightly gripping the Green Fly Sword, and used his Qi-Seeing Technique to lock onto the ghost guard.
Next second.
The Ghost Guard's flying speed suddenly increased!
“It found out.”
Roger was not flustered.
The ghost guard will definitely discover me, but this low-level monster does not have the ability to recognize the differences between the souls of living creatures.
in other words.
It can only sense signs of life in the treetops, but cannot tell whether it belongs to a bird, a squirrel, or a person.
To ensure the safety of the Bone Outpost, it will definitely come and search.
That was Roger's chance.
…
In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than 30 meters.
"The ghost is really fast!"
That's why Roger didn't try using Ziying or Pinky.
The ghost has super high movement speed and dodge ability, so there is a high probability that it will be dodged by either a bow or a slingshot.
He had to use the Green Fly Sword to deliver a fatal assassination.
Getting closer.
The ghost guard passed the position of the inferior dwarf.
Fortunately, perhaps because it was too focused on the creatures in the treetops, it did not notice the fire.
Roger was calm and ready to go.
Just at this moment, a strange cry suddenly came from the hillside.
Several dark shadows suddenly ran down in a hurry, making a huge noise, attracting everyone's attention.
Ghost Guard is no exception.
It actually stopped under the tung tree and looked out.
Roger didn't look back to see what was happening.
He stepped hard on the branches of the tung tree with his feet .
The skill "Surprise Attack" is activated.
His body is like electricity.
The sword shines like a rainbow.
When the tip of the Green Fly Sword pierced into the ghost guard's chest and the pure white holy water extinguished the blazing ghost fire, he finally had the leisure to look back -
A group of dwarf demons fled down the hillside in a panic.
They also make strange "Ulala" sounds from their mouths.
Roger smiled knowingly.
He gained more confidence in this crusade.
At least the teammates are reliable.
But now is not the time to slack off.
In order to divert the attention of another tower and the ghost guards, Dorothy and her team have released the dwarf captives.
This means that alerting the enemy is inevitable.
Therefore, now is the best time to launch a surprise attack!
Roger quickly put on his cloak, and while the dwarves attracted all the attention, he rushed to the nearest tower alone!
…
"Roger has understood our intentions."
On the hillside, Dorothy held a long sword and spoke very quickly:
"Uncle Terry, take seven men to capture the eastern tower; the rest of you, come with me to support Roger!"
"We need to move fast!"
"But we must also be careful to conceal ourselves. We will go down through the dense forest in the north and take action before the dwarves come into contact with the ghost guards!"
The main forces lowered their voices and responded in unison.
Led by Dorothy and Terry, they went down the mountain along both sides of the dense forest.
But after walking for a while, Dorothy suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Someone asked.
"Go east!"
Dorothy turned around and left without saying a word.
"But, but..."
The man was interrupted by Dorothy with a confused look on his face:
"Roger has taken the west tower."
"Don't you see that flag?"
"Let's go east."
She said without hesitation.
The others couldn't help but widen their eyes and glanced at the top floor of the west tower.
I don’t know since when.
Towards the north, there was actually a flag from the Lord's Mansion in Tongma Town.
The breeze blew and the flags fluttered.
…
"You killed 1 ghost guard."
"You gained 1 XP"
"Your sword (knife) drawing speed is slightly improved."
…
"You killed 1 Skeleton Soldier."
"You gained 1 XP"
"Your fear resistance is slightly increased."
…
The process of capturing the tower was very easy.
With the dwarves distracting his attention, Roger easily sneaked into the tower.
The tower of Bone Watch has three floors.
The monsters on the first level are six skeleton soldiers in a loose formation.
Roger had plenty of time to "mark them for sin" and then send them to hell with a pinky slingshot and pebbles soaked in holy water.
The ghost guards on the second floor were still watching the dwarves rushing across the river beach.
As a result, he was killed by Roger with a sword.
In fact, when Roger encountered this ghost guard, it seemed to be "idling".
It may be that so many lives suddenly appeared in the detection range.
It's a bit difficult to deal with this kind of low-level monster.
Regardless, the first attack by the main force of the expeditionary force was a great success.
Roger looked out for a moment.
After making sure that Terry and Dorothy were able to take out the western tower without leaving any damage, he moved to the area between the two towers.
There he discovered a huge pit.
Using the technique of observing qi, one can see large patches of blood clouds in the pits.
There must be something unusual hidden inside.
He went down the cave without hesitation.
At that moment.
The smell of decay, blood, and an unknown potion hit me in the face.
"Is there a barrier blocking the flow of air?"
Roger raised his eyebrows slightly.
There is a barrier.
It means there is a mage.
