Chapter 408: Tacit Understanding

There is not much heat in the forest in summer. On the contrary, when the breeze blows, it is a little refreshing.

There is no such thing as a "asphalt road" in this era. The path in the forest is basically carried out by a caravan's carriage. It is quite normal for a "tree struck by lightning" to block the road, but out of caution, Carl decided to check it out before continuing on the road.

He can be called the "chief agent", and his vigilance in these details is self-evident.

However, this high-level shadow priest never thought that the situation of "darkness under the lights" would happen to him.

Sally got off the horse slowly, and then stood there dumbly, staring blankly ahead.

Karl was chatting with the adjutant, and didn't notice her movements and behaviors at this time. After confirming this, Sally moved slowly to the side with imperceptible movements... A war horse was pulled from her by a soldier. When passing by, Sally raised her arm slightly, quickly pulled out a dagger from the side of the saddle, and then quietly hid it in her sleeve.

After sweeping her eyes around and confirming that no one around her noticed her behavior, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could think about how to deal with the current situation, a short shout suddenly came from not far behind her...

"ah!"

Sally wanted to turn around, but held back the desire, then raised her eyes and quietly looked at Karl who was not far in front of her.

"what happened?"

The bishop asked a question. The sound came from three members who were not far away to investigate the roadblock. However, when he got up to look, he happened to see the scene where one of them fell to the ground with an arrow...

"Damn it!"

Cursing in a low voice, Karl did not show any panic. He raised his hand to protect his body with a "shadow shield", then stepped back two steps to let the giant tree block the possible attack from behind, and shouted: "Ready to fight!" !"

After the words fell, the three soldiers who were investigating the roadblock had been shot to death by successive arrows. Karl felt a little trembling in his heart, and looked into the forest, but found that there was no trace of the enemy at all.

"Energy Convergence", "Shadow Word: Weaving", "Mass Shadow Armor" and other spells were cast one by one, and the well-trained soldiers drew their long swords and scimitars and approached them. However, they didn't realize the problem until then. …

"Where's Crowe?"

"have no idea!"

The original team of thirteen guards was inexplicably downsizing.

Seeing this scene, Carl's face became more and more gloomy. He glanced at Sally who was still standing there, and immediately ordered her to move closer to the team with "mind control".

Because she didn't look back, Sally didn't know what happened at this time, but after feeling Carl's order, she still moved the dagger into the sleeve of her robe calmly, and walked over...

"Don't spread out, act in small groups."

Karl grabbed Sally, who was approaching, and made her stand in front of him as a "human shield", and then ordered: "Mukla, lead someone to investigate to the left."

"yes!"

As a team performing special missions, the members of the Viper Cross all have high combat qualities. At this time, they quickly changed their formation, but before the team moved forward, they heard "哗哗" not far from the right. "The movement...

Carl's eyes were fixed, and he raised his hand to see a range of "corrosion" - more than a dozen trees were instantly corroded and broken by the shadow energy. After breaking, everyone's vision immediately widened.

Then they saw a swaying branch and leaf in the distance of the dense forest.

"It's over there!"

The team of five immediately rushed out. They held their breath and kept their eyes fixed on the front. However, after going deep into the forest for 30 to 40 meters, these people discovered that it was not an enemy who made the noise, but a monster lying on the tree trunk. Funny pose itchy pintail sand cone…

It looked at these heretics with innocent eyes, yelled "Ooooo" a few times, then tilted its head and continued to scratch its belly.

"What is this..."

The leading squad leader let go of his frown, turned around and said, "Continue to be vigilant and prepare to return--"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of him: There should be four people following him, but why are there five in front of him?

"Puff!"

The next second, the figure standing at the back of the line suddenly made an attack. The dagger and short sword in his hand were unsheathed at the same time, and directly pierced the hearts of the two people in front of him!

Then he leaped forward, and the gleaming blade slashed the throat of the next enemy, twisted his body, and kicked the captain's jaw before the splashed blood landed—

"Kara!"

There was a crackling sound, and the captain, who had no time to call for help, flew back, his brain completely lost his ability to respond due to the shock, and the moment his body fell to the ground, he vaguely saw the scene where the last member was hacked to death...

A total of three seconds passed from the opponent's attack to the time when everyone fell to the ground.

This one wanted to call for help, but couldn't because of a broken jaw. Then the other party's calm face appeared in the field of vision, and his whispering voice was faintly heard in the ear:

"May the God of Vipers protect you even in hell."

The dagger was pulled out from the enemy's chest, and Rody took a deep breath, then waved at "Kunda Duck", turned around and rushed towards Carl's direction.

Although the "Ada Duck" does not have much attack power and skills, it is easy to create some noise to confuse the enemy in this kind of forest. At this time, it circled at a low altitude from a distance, and landed directly on the left side of Karl and others. The raised dust and fallen leaves immediately caught their attention, and it was no surprise that the bishop once again tricked him into using a "corrosion spell"--

And just when Karl stared at the direction where the Duck was, the "click" sound of the shield being hit suddenly sounded, and Rody's "Arcane Shot" madly attacked the four guards at an alarming frequency. The "Speed ​​of the Wind" attached to the breastplate spar, combined with the "Rapid Shooting", pushed the rate of fire to the extreme, and forcibly fired four arrows in one and a half seconds!

When Karl reacted, the arrows that hit at high speed had already shot down two guards!

The short bow was raised horizontally, and the actions of drawing the arrow, nocking the arrow, and pulling the string with the right hand almost became a phantom, but in the process, Rody didn't stop walking, and kept moving forward...

The bow in his hand moved left and right to aim at the enemy, but the focus of his sight was on the woman who was pushed in front of him by Karl—Sally had no restraints on her body. This discovery made Rody feel cold in his heart. He was not afraid of admitting his mistake She has lost someone, but she is afraid that she will encounter an irreparable mental injury...

The anger in my heart couldn't be increased, but the bow and arrow in my hand never dared to aim at Karl, because the opponent was always hiding behind Sally!

The effect of "Wind Speed" can only last for three seconds. After the first arrow passed, the remaining two guards also lost their shields and rushed towards him with weapons in hand.

He glanced at Karl who was casting a spell behind him, turned on "sprint", turned and ran towards a giant tree on the side - the "shadow arrow" that followed was about to hit Roddy, he raised his The right hand activated the "traction" on the glove.

The canopy seemed to suddenly have a suction force, directly pulling Rody into the air!

The trunk was 20 to 30 meters high, and Rody, who was ejected suddenly, seemed to fly into the sky. He easily dodged the shadow arrows, and the two pagan guards who came over did not know how to attack.

And Rody, who was flying in mid-air, quickly canceled the "traction technique", and activated the "light feather technique" in the breastplate before his body was about to fall heavily to the ground... The next moment, he landed safely on a place not far from Karl behind a giant tree.

This series of actions made Roddy's traces look like ghosts, but Bishop Carl was unmoved at all. He is very clear about one fact: the other party is definitely coming for Sally!

If you don't care about Sally's life, those arrows will definitely hit you immediately.

Karl was grateful for his caution, but then anger arose.

Although he is not an "attack-type" shadow priest, it doesn't mean he can't fight—Carl hid behind Sally, and immediately recited a lengthy spell.

Rody rushed out from behind the tree, but the arrow in his hand never shot because Sally blocked him. He stared at Carl, anxiously thinking about countermeasures.

However, just when Rody felt that there was nothing he could do, he found that Sally blinked at him suddenly.

"Spirit shock!"

Karl, who is proficient in the "spiritual system", cast his strongest single-target damage skill. This kind of spell is a directional spell, which does not have a trajectory like Shadow Bolt, but relies entirely on mental power to attack the opponent's mind--this kind of spell The attack is invisible, but powerful, and the most important thing is that it cannot dodge at all. Even a high-level monster may be turned into an idiot by a single blow, or even die unscathed.

Carl cast the spell with a ferocious face, but later found that a white halo flashed in Rody's pupils after being hit, and his running movement did not stop at all...

"How can it be?!"

A person with a strong mind may not be seriously injured, but there will definitely be a short pause. Such a situation of being unaffected at all is unheard of for Karl. He stepped forward excitedly, raised his hand and cast the "mind disturbing technique", But I found that my spell still had no effect!

The spiritual immunity of the "Dragon Slayer's Mark" taught Karl a profound educational lesson.

Carl panicked and tried to force Rody back by threatening Sally, but before he could condense his elements, Sally in front of him suddenly moved...

"What?!"

Karl never thought that "mind control" would fail, but Sally's seemingly inadvertent step made his heart freeze instantly...

The next moment, Rody's "Explosive Arrows" came one after another, completely smashing the "Shadow Shield".

Karl took a step back, pulled out a scroll from his waist in desperation, and wanted to tear it open, but Sally, who was standing in front of him, shook her arm, grabbed the dagger that slipped out of her robe sleeve, turned around and swung her arm, on the spot Cut off the bishop's palm!

The tacit cooperation between Sally and Rody made Karl unable to fight back. When the bishop raised his head again, all he saw was Roddy's cold eyes——

"puff!"

The dagger pierced through the heart, taking away all the heat.

Blood dripped to the ground, but Rody didn't stop moving. He picked up his short bow and dealt with the last two guards chasing him from a distance. Then he turned his head and looked at the "unfamiliar" but familiar figure in front of him.

"me--"

He wanted to say something, but Sally didn't give him a chance to speak—she couldn't bear the excitement and joy in her heart any longer, and threw herself into Roddy's arms with open arms.

Immediately... I burst into tears. ()
