Chapter 820: Zong Shen’s Arrival

At this moment, Vereesa, two or three kilometers away, was running on the grass with her body half-bowed.

Her legs are surrounded by wind elemental magic, making her very strong and agile.

Just as she was concentrating on moving forward, a blue light suddenly shone in front of her, and Zong Shen flashed out of the void and stood in front of her!

Vereesa instinctively stopped and felt relieved after seeing who was coming.

"Sir, why are you here?"

She took a step back and asked in a lowered voice.

"There are dark orc scouts ambushing them near the lake. It may be difficult for you to deal with them alone."

"But the crystal fragments are crucial to the territory's next plan, so I decided to assist you personally."

Zong Shen's hands naturally dropped to his sides and he replied in a serious tone.

Vereesa had been a member of the territory for a short time, so she naturally understood that her lord could sometimes predict the future and gain insight into many pieces of information and problems in advance.

Therefore, Veresa believed Zong Shen's words deeply.

Moreover, the strength of the Lord Lord is far better than her current state, and it is indeed more reliable to have him accompany her.

"Okay, sir, let's continue setting off now."

After the two met, they briefly communicated and reached a consensus.

Zong Shen walked in front, a simplified map appearing and disappearing in his consciousness according to his wishes.

It will not cause any obstruction to his field of vision, and he can check it in time when he needs a simple map to guide him.

According to the information on the map, it was the scouts of the Blackwater Army who were ambushing near the lake.

It should be one of the nodes where Liefire Calrig monitors various places.

From the very beginning, when the strategy module informed him of the characteristics and strength of the four dark orc camps, Zong Shen discovered that there were no shaman-type spellcasters in the No. 4 raid camp where the Blackwater Army was located.

This means that the Blackwater Army is very likely to be weak in witchcraft.

As a result, the convenient and easy-to-use [Eye of Darkness] cannot be used for observation.

Combined with the [Blackwater Messenger Bug (Purple)] that Zong Shen caught by chance before, it is not difficult to imagine that the monitoring mode of the Blackwater Army should rely on the scattered deployment of scout troops to conduct manual surveillance. After discovering abnormalities, Then use the messenger bug to notify.

The Blackwater Army itself has no shortage of reconnaissance troops, so it will inevitably deploy reconnaissance squads in the form of squads at key points. These squads form reconnaissance nodes to help Lihuo Calrig grasp the overall intelligence.

Troops such as scouts are often good at sneaking, proficient in assassination techniques, and pursue killing with one hit.

If you miss a hit, you will immediately enter a stealth state and run away, looking for the next opportunity to take action.

No matter how high-level a scout is, they are not suitable for head-on combat with opponents of the same level.

But any scout's stealth and concealment skills are useless in front of Zong.

He does not need to have the detection ability to see through stealth. He only needs to let the strategy module mark the target's location in real time. Under the golden circle mark, any sneaky tricks will be hidden.

With the addition of Zong Shen, Veresa's waist has become much stronger.

The two of them let go and ran wildly on the grass.

The blessing of high agility gives them sufficient reaction capabilities.

Combined with the combined effect of strength and other attributes, the speed of the two of them is almost as fast as that of a prairie horse.

About four or five minutes later, the two of them ran to the lake.

Not far ahead, you can already see the circle of woods surrounding the lake.

In reality, the forest had long been cut down by the nearby lords as a timber resource.

But in the exclusive realm of defensive challenges, everything is back to square one.

Seeing such a scene, Zong Shen couldn't help but recall the time when he and Jiang Yi came to explore the abandoned dragon nest.

"I wonder if the water element has been recreated?"

He was thinking in his mind that in the exclusive field that he wanted to challenge, he should only be able to reproduce the corresponding scenery and those items that had no independent ability.

Aggressive monsters and beasts such as [Manic Water Elemental], [Prairie Wolf], and [Prairie Barbarian Bull] should not be reproduced.

"Please locate all the scouts ahead for me."

Zong Shen thought, and the image of the simple map became faint, replaced by 12 golden circle marks.

These golden circle marks are distributed in a ring, separated by a certain distance from each other, and just surround the lake. The woods can effectively shield their bodies, helping them to lurk and move.

Lakes represent water sources.

Moreover, this place is considered to be near the midpoint line from Zong Shen's territory to the Blackwater Army camp. There is nothing wrong with deploying a team of scouts in a reasonable and reasonable manner.

They are scattered very scattered. As long as Zong Shen takes action against one of the scouts, the remaining 11 scouts nearby will be able to detect it.

And now maybe he and Vereesa have been exposed to each other's sight.

What Zong Shen lacks is high-level stealth ability.

This is one of the shortcomings that he hasn't had the opportunity to make up for yet.

With the [Stealth Rune (Blue)] and some equipment, he can achieve low-level stealth.

In order to cope with some occasions and tasks that require a low profile.

But his stealth is not continuous, and he cannot hide from advanced detection methods.

So when there is an opportunity, Zong Shen is ready to find ways to master high-level stealth skills that can be used continuously, which will be of great help to his future actions.

"Vereesa, you will enter the lake later to get the crystal."

"Leave those scouts to me."

The two stopped where they were, and Zong Shen gave a simple explanation.

He flipped his hand and took out [Blackwater Banner's Banner 3 (Gold)] and handed it to Vereesa.

Then he added.

"If you encounter an enemy, show this thing."

According to the attribute information of [Blackwater War Banner Flag Signal 3 (Gold)], this small thing has a function similar to a token of military power and can intimidate some Blackwater Army soldiers.

Zong Shen gave it to Vereesa first as a way of insurance.

The scouts who happened to be ambushing here were part of the Blackwater Army who would be intimidated by Qixin.

He had already asked about the strategy module before, and it was always better to be prepared in advance than to go empty-handed.

Vereesa's current comprehensive strength is comparable to that of a fifth-level shooter, and she cannot compete head-on with a sixth-level scout.

Because her power has not yet returned to its prime.

What's more, there are as many as a small team of Blackwater Army scouts ambushing around.

Regardless of the individual level or the number of people, they have an absolute advantage.

For Vereesa, this is a mission full of risks.

Therefore, Zong Shen chose to hand over the flag letter to Vereesa as an insurance policy. After all, he was completely confident that he could escape the siege of high-level scouts.

And Vereesa will go deep into the lake to collect the fragments of the arcane crystal.

This is a big trump card. It is crucial to his next plan to deal with the dark orcs and cannot be missed.

Therefore, we must ensure that Vereesa's actions go smoothly. This is also in line with Zong's habit and style of doing things with both hands.

Vereesa took over [Blackwater War Banner Flag 3] and just nodded. She believed that Zong Shen's strength would be enough to deal with those scouts.

After finalizing the preliminary plan, the two ran away again.

At this time, the nearest [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] to them was clinging to a relatively thick tree like a gecko.

Its body shape almost blends into the big tree, and there is nothing unusual about it.

After noticing the arrival of an uninvited guest, it opened its mouth and blew out a stream of faint gray smoke.

The smoke disappeared quickly and turned into 11 invisible lines of smoke flying towards the hiding place of the companions.

If we say [Blackwater Communication Bug (Purple)] is aimed at short- and medium-range message transmission.

Then this gray smoke is the extremely short-distance signaling method of [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout].

Zong Shen took out his weapon while running.

His right hand is holding the huge [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)]. After several repairs, it has basically restored its power as an epic weapon. Its huge shape is full of oppression.

But there are still cracks on the sword that looks like a door panel.

These are the traces left by countless battles and strikes, which means that the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)] is by no means the kind of unknown weapon that just came out of the forge.

As for his left hand, he holds a peculiar double-arc war blade with a handguard on the middle grip.

The distance between the upper and lower arc tips of the war blade was about 1.5 meters. As Zong Shen took it out and input a small amount of demonic power, green sacrificial fire burst out from the war blades at both ends. The blades on both sides It extends along the arc for more than ten centimeters and looks like a light blade burning with sacrificial fire.

With the passive effect [Chaos Strike], every blow struck by this war blade can cause chaotic damage to the target that ignores armor.

This cool and cool weapon is the epic weapon that Zong Shen just met the equipment requirements not long ago—

—[Azzinoth Demon-Slaying Warblade (Gold)]

Zong Shen, holding two magic weapons, looked murderous and entered a fighting state.

The gray smoke signal was very fast, and the [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] scattered in other locations responded quickly and rushed here.

Zong Shen and Vereesa separated, he entered the woods, while Vereesa continued to run towards the lake.

The golden circle mark is firmly locked on the one [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] closest to him.

In his field of vision, most of the other golden circle marks were also rushing towards him.

Only the two golden circle marks were moving towards Vereesa.

Judging from the distance and speed, Vereesa should be able to enter the water first.

When you're in the water, many of your stealth and movement skills won't work.

Even if those guys get close, Vereesa can use the flag as a deterrent.

All the remaining golden circle markers were approaching him, except for the hidden guy lying on the tree that he was locking right in front of him.

These [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] are worthy of being high-level scouts, and their mentality is quite stable.

Even though Zong Shen approached him with a weapon in hand with a clear purpose, the guy remained motionless.

"Plop..."

There was a clear sound of water entering not far away.

Vereesa jumped directly into the lake.

She has good water skills. Although she cannot move forward smoothly in the water, she can still hold her breath for several minutes.

"Pfft... pass..."

Shortly after the first sound of water entering, two more gentle sounds of water entering came.

There is no doubt that it should be the scout chasing Vereesa.

Zong Shen felt a little more at ease. With Vereesa in the water and Qixin's help, the two chasing scouts could never pose a threat to her.

As long as the arcane crystal fragments constructed in the exclusive challenge scene are successfully taken away, then this mission will be considered a great success.

He gathered his thoughts and focused on the golden circle marks surrounding him.

At the same time, he held two weapons and kept approaching the Blackwater Army scout closest to him.

When he was close to the tree where the scout was hiding, he was still five or six meters away.

These [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] are no longer hidden.

The [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] lying on the tree jumped down and jumped in front of Zong Shen.

The other nine [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] who came from other locations no longer worried about hiding, and moved forward freely. Like gray afterimages flashing by, they soon came around Zong Shen and surrounded him. Surround.

After confirming that Zong Shen had only one companion, these [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] became much bolder.

The actions at the bottom of the lake belong to the bottom of the lake, and the storms on the shore belong to the shore.

Zong Shen, who was carrying two exaggerated weapons, was listed as their number one enemy.

No one on either side took the lead in launching an attack. They were both observing and confronting each other silently.

These guys were wearing weird tights.

It doesn't look like any common textile in the Endless Continent, nor does it look like a magical fabric.

Rather, it looks like the skin of some kind of large scaleless fish. The surface is dark and smooth, and it still looks very dim even under the light.

The tights not only wrapped their bodies, but also their heads, leaving only their eyes exposed.

The shape of this tights reminds Zong Shen of the one-piece jellyfish suits commonly used for diving on Earth.

Obviously such a thin tights does not have very good defensive capabilities.

It should be further strengthened in terms of stealth.

In addition to the tights, the weapons of these [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] are also very unconventional.

There are short forks hanging on the left and right sides of their waists. The shape and style are a bit like the Japanese "Ten Hands", which is the so-called "Ryukyu Trident".

The short-handled trident can be used to stab, tease, pierce, and poke.

The spines on both sides open slightly outward, allowing it to block and parry the slashes of the long sword.

It seems like it should have a certain disarming effect.

In addition, there is a stick about one meter long hanging from their hands, like a hollow flute.

A square wooden box about fifteen centimeters in length is tied to the big arm of his right hand.

Zong Shen guessed it was something like a blowgun.

At this point in the confrontation, Zong Shen had no time to check his attributes and was ready to respond to attacks at any time.

Facing the siege of ten sixth-level Blackwater Army scouts, he needed to concentrate to prevent himself from capsizing.

However, these [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] in front of them have not launched an attack for a long time, and they have not even pulled out the "Ryukyu Trident" hanging on their waists!
