Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 41: The Expectation of More
The other party is a joint effort of three major mercenary groups. After the initial excitement, we had to adjust our plans accordingly. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we do not intend to tear our faces with them in the name of the Tongxin League to confront them head-on. Our current strength is not enough, and development is the hard truth. The changes of a few people can be attributed to personal grudges between individuals. If Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying and other leaders openly take action, the nature of the fight may escalate, and the consequences will be much more serious. Moreover, for the sake of the reputation of the Tongxin League, it should not be associated with the bad reputation of "malicious monster snatching". Originally, I planned to act with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but now I can only act as a bystander temporarily. I will come forward alone to fight the other party - whether it is Hua Mantian who signed up for a job transfer to join the Church of Light or the Angyang Mercenary Group formed by the great traitor Ye Ban Wu Ren, I, the "evil" undead wizard, have sufficient reasons to ruin their good deeds. Anyway, as long as it is not killed by the guys of the light profession, death is just another beginning for me, and I don't care if there are more people chasing after me.
The appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex completely disrupted the plans of Hua Mantian and his companions. After receiving the report from the secret sentry, they immediately adjusted their deployment and barely assigned a dozen knights to try to lure away the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but judging from their posture, they did not seem to be prepared for an emergency retreat. No wonder, the velociraptor that escaped from our hands was obviously shaky and could not hold on for much longer. No one would be willing to give up at this moment.
Hua Mantian and his men were already very short on manpower because they had to deal with two velociraptors at the same time. The situation on the field became even more dangerous after the division of troops. The other knights had to take greater risks and speed up the pace of attack to keep the pressure on the velociraptors, lest they be distracted from looking for trouble with the magicians. The coordination between the two groups of people, namely, luring the enemy and attacking, also had to be balanced. The pressure brought by the magic attack to the dragon could not exceed that of the luring enemy, otherwise it might attract the dragon's excessive attention and thus lead to an attack. This was also the reason why Hua Mantian and his men could not concentrate all their efforts to deal with the seriously injured velociraptor first. It is not so easy to take advantage.
However, Hua Mantian underestimated the strength of the ninth-level magic beast Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although it was not big, it had super strong physical defense capabilities. The dark wind blown by the Devouring Ghost belonged to the category of magic attack. One or two hundred of them together could finally make it feel a little bit, and chased after it. However, the dozen elite knights were a little overconfident. They swung their spears around the Tyrannosaurus Rex, stabbing it from time to time to attract its attention. However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex ignored them, as if it was not affected at all. It was too lazy to fight back, and kept chasing the Devouring Ghost and marching towards Hua Mantian and their magician formation.
The failure of the mission to lure the enemy was the most fatal blow to a "dragon-slaying team". Hua Mantian seemed to have received the news, but still refused to give up. He sent out more than a dozen elite archers, apparently wanting to use magic arrows to attract the attention of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Humph, you only have such a small number of people, yet you still want to wrestle with me? I have summoned hundreds of devouring ghosts, which are surrounding the Tyrannosaurus Rex and blowing dark winds. How can you be qualified to compete with me with just a dozen magic arrows?
The majestic Tyrannosaurus finally appeared in front of Hua Mantian and the others. Seeing the large white ghost of the Devourer floating in the sky, I wonder if they can tell that I am the one causing trouble. Facing the tyrannosaurus, Hua Mantian had to choose to retreat. It can be seen that they also had a careful plan. A small number of people were left to cover, and the others began to quickly prepare to leave the battle. If everything goes well, they will still be qualified to challenge the Velociraptor with their remaining strength.
I certainly can't let them succeed. Since I've decided to take action, I have to do it thoroughly and completely cut off their thoughts. I can't let them off the hook, so as not to add unnecessary trouble to our next actions. Besides, the Devouring Ghost has already revealed itself. Even if I can't remember it for the time being, I'll be able to infer that it's me who's behind it sooner or later. I might as well "play" it out and let their revenge be more intense.
Following the Tyrannosaurus Rex in and hiding in the dark, I used the "Chaos Ball" and activated the "Blinding Fog" to cover as many magicians as possible. As long as most of these people were killed or injured, Hua Mantian's dragon-slaying operation would end in failure.
My sudden attack completely disrupted Hua Mantian and the others' plan. The two velociraptors were better off. Seeing the Level 9 Boss appear, they didn't dare to compete with the boss and turned around and ran away. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was full of anger. He couldn't do anything about the Devouring Ghost floating farther and farther in the sky. Naturally, he didn't like these aliens running on the ground. He rushed up and took them out to vent his anger.
No one could stop the Tyrannosaurus Rex for a moment. It kicked and stomped on it. No matter if it was an archer or a knight, they would die if they were touched. Its dominance was fully revealed. Those magicians who were on the edge of the "eye fog" and had just escaped from it were even more unlucky. Their relatively clumsy bodies had no way to escape and were killed. After expelling the players on the periphery, the Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed not satisfied. The Devouring Ghost had already disappeared without a trace. It turned around a few times and rushed into the "eye fog" as I expected. I wonder how many of the more than 100 magicians can survive after enduring the "trampling and ravage" of its big feet.
The other party was fleeing in all directions, and Xue Wuxia and the others did not hide aside to watch the fun. Two injured velociraptors escaped, and our strength was just enough to deal with them. Of course, I was not so greedy and wanted to take on both the lightly injured and the seriously injured at the same time. I commanded the blood bat couple to follow the dying velociraptor to see if there was any chance to catch up with it and kill it.
It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. It seemed that Hua Mantian was also covered in it. I wondered if he would be trampled to death by the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Seeing this familiar trick, he must have known my true identity as the troublemaker. I think he must be very angry and unwilling. In fact, if I was not so greedy and organized a retreat as soon as I found the crisis, I wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. Even if I was attacked by my "blind fog", I couldn't have caught them all in one fell swoop. And if the Tyrannosaurus Rex hadn't seen that there were people in the fog area, he might not have been in the mood to break in and continue to chase those who escaped.
Ignoring them, I turned back to meet up with Xue Wuxia and the others, and followed the severely injured Speed Dragon. The spiritual connection between the undead and me has a certain distance limit, and cannot be too far apart. According to the images sent back by the blood bats, the target is walking slower and slower, and his steps are more staggering. It seems that he can't hold on for too long. It's a good time to take action, and it's best to catch up with it and kill it as soon as possible, so as to avoid more trouble at night. If there is any accident, it will be really in vain.
The god of luck finally favored us this time. The velociraptor did not run too far. Perhaps because of its serious injuries, it had to stop and rest, and became our prey. Although it struggled with its last bit of strength to put up a stubborn resistance, it seemed so weak. The Red Star and five or six Dark Knights alone were enough for it to cope, and it soon fell under the magic and bows and arrows.
One "Thousand Man Order" is an item that will definitely drop. What we care about is whether other equipment is dropped. Most monsters in "Tianxia" only drop some raw materials. Finished equipment items are only dropped by certain Boss-level monsters and mid-to-high-level monsters, and the probability varies. Although as a monster of the corresponding Boss-level level, the probability of the Dragon clan dropping finished equipment items is higher, but not all of them will drop them. Moreover, there is also the question of whether it is suitable. In case a high-level equipment of an unpopular profession drops, I am afraid that no member of the Tongxin League will be qualified to use it without the corresponding merits accumulated.
What fell was a weapon, a very inconspicuous dagger, about one foot long and one inch wide, gray-brown in color, without the luster that a normal weapon should have, and looked like a piece of junk. However, Xue Wuxia, who was looking at it, soon showed a look of surprise on her face, it seemed that the properties of the dagger were not as ordinary as its appearance.
"Shadow dagger, specially used by rogues and assassins, it's a heavenly weapon, its attack speed is doubled, it ignores 30% of physical defense, and its attacks have paralysis and weakening effects." Xue Wuxia reported the attributes of the dagger.
Yun Wuying took the dagger and said, "Shadow Dagger. It is said that only a dozen of them have dropped in the entire Tianxia. Although its attack power is not too high, its attributes are very practical, especially the paralysis and weakening effects attached to the attack. The combined probability of the two may exceed 30%. Combined with the other two attributes, once an assassin or thief equipped with it gets close to it, it will definitely be a nightmare for magicians and shooters. And although craftsmen can imitate it, at most they can only attach one of paralysis or weakening, and the probability of its appearance is greatly reduced, which is far less precious than the original." As expected of the person in charge of intelligence work, he knew all the famous equipment of other professions.
I also took it in my hand and admired it. It was dull and ordinary. From the appearance, you really can't tell that it is so famous. They can't use it, so they can only admire it. I am a part-time thief and qualified to equip it. I held it and stabbed Afeng beside me. The speed was so fast. Such a close distance didn't allow him to react at all. The damage was not great, but "luckily" paralyzed him. The laughing expression on his face froze immediately, only his two eyeballs rolled around in his eye sockets, and his body couldn't move. The hand that was about to put on my shoulder was frozen in mid-air. The weird look attracted a burst of laughter from everyone, and it took three seconds to recover. Of course, things wouldn't end like this. He took two punches from him, and when he saw me raise the dagger again, he stopped in dismay, but threatened to settle the score with me after logging off. Poor me, it was just a subconscious action after recalling the scene of stabbing an opponent to death with a dagger in a competition. I didn't mean to tease him at all. Who knew that the first attack would have a paralyzing effect and make him look stupid in public.
I handed the dagger back to Xue Wuxia, but she looked at me with a smile and didn't reach out to take it. "This is a dagger used by thieves. Who among us can still use it? You don't want to put it in the warehouse to rest or sell it to someone else to use against us one day, do you?"
I was stunned for a moment. "Thief is just my part-time job, and I don't have any attack skills yet. It feels like a waste of such a good weapon for me to use." The magic wand is already a weapon that can be upgraded. If I get a powerful dagger for thieves, but I don't have many opportunities to use it, it seems to be a waste of resources.
"You are only a level three intermediate thief now. You will have the opportunity to learn attack skills in the future. When the time comes, the fighting style of the mage and the thief will give your enemies a headache." It seems that Yun Wuying also remembered my outstanding performance in that game.
"Okay, you are the only one in the group who is both qualified and can be used. The distribution of the spoils is decided. Xiaoyue is tracking another injured velociraptor. Let's hurry over and see if there is any chance to expand the results of the victory." Xue Wuxia made the final decision, but revealed another piece of news that surprised me.
No wonder I haven't seen Yue Linglong yet, but I'm too embarrassed to ask. I'm wondering if she has accepted Xue Wuxia's secret mission. She's so greedy. She hasn't changed her style of maximizing surplus value. While chasing this velociraptor, she's still thinking about another injured velociraptor and is unwilling to give up any opportunity to gain benefits.
Yue Linglong kept reporting the whereabouts of the speed dragon and guided us to chase it. In addition to the blood bat, only her white dragon horse could keep up with the speed of the speed dragon. I found an opportunity halfway to see if no one was paying attention. I quietly asked Afeng, "Why did Xiaoyue go to track the speed dragon alone? Was it arranged by Sister Wuxia? She wanted to have a good thing in pairs?"
A Feng smiled at me oddly, "What's the matter? Are you worried or distressed?"
I put on a serious face and rolled my eyes at him, "What are you thinking about? I was just asking casually."
"Don't be stubborn. It wasn't very nice of you to look around earlier. Just say what you think. If you keep it in your heart and refuse to express it, you will regret it if you miss the opportunity." Afeng glared back at me without showing any weakness. He was the enthusiastic matchmaker between Yue Linglong and me, and he would lobby us whenever he had the chance, both online and offline.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just asking a simple question. Why are you talking so much? Answer my question quickly." Ask yourself, do I have any ideas? I just feel that my mind is in a mess, and I don't know myself.
A Feng curled his lips and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. "You guessed wrong this time. Xiao Yue took the initiative to ask for this mission. She said that one more person would not make a difference if she was the one to chase the seriously injured velociraptor. It would be better to follow the other velociraptor and maybe there would be a chance to take care of it as well. Anyway, even if there is danger, it doesn't matter. After killing this velociraptor, you will die anyway."
Did she ask for it on her own initiative? Her thoughts seemed to be quite similar to Xue Wuxia's. I turned around and looked at Xue Wuxia behind me. Could it be that she was influenced by Xue Wuxia because she was around her all day?
