Chapter 90: Shelter in Darkness III
Although the centaurs heard the sound of bats flapping their wings, they had difficulty ascertaining their location and had little to do to deal with them.
With no light around, the bats completely melt into the darkness.
Even under normal circumstances, a single centaur would not be able to deal with too many bats, and could only spread out the formation so that each centaur would only have to deal with a small number of bats at any one time, but this did not do much.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, the bats pounced directly on these centaurs and began to bite wildly on the centaurs.
For a moment, there was a cry of pain from centaurs in the field.
In the darkness of the surroundings, the presence of a large number of bats attacking from nowhere, and the cries of their companions before they died, were clearly a great test of the centaurs' willpower.
The last centaurs were clearly highly willed, and even in such a disadvantageous situation, although they cried out in pain, their morale did not crumble again.
On the side, the centaur leader didn't get attacked by too many bats.
Even if it was pitch black all around, as long as the bats came within a certain range of the centaur leader, they would be swept by the tomahawk in an instant and turned into black mist.
Therefore, in the process of attacking, the bat actively avoided the centaur leader, and only attacked the rest of the centaurs.
The centaur leader was intent on helping the rest of the centaurs fend off the bat's attack, but the bats were the first to realize the centaur leader's movements.
Whenever the centaur leader comes to a centaur, the bats abandon the centaur in front of them and attack the other centaur instead, except for the few bats that have fallen into a state of madness by devouring flesh and blood, and will remain with the centaur forever.
Although the Centaur Leader is able to sense bats within a certain distance of the surrounding area, it is obviously not comparable to bats with dark vision, and due to the loss of vision, the Centaur Leader is unable to respond properly. Although the centaur leader is strong, there is nothing he can do in the face of this situation.
Due to the need to dodge bat attacks, the overall formation of the centaurs is scattered, which also reveals a lot of flaws.
Taking advantage of the fact that the bats had attracted most of the centaurs' attention, the surrounding ghosts also attacked.
Under the attack of bats and ghosts, the surrounding centaurs fell one after another due to their injuries.
When the centaurs around them fell, the bats hanging on them did not choose to leave, but began to bite and devour the flesh of the centaurs on the ground under the cover of darkness.
These bats on the ground are even crazier because they are devouring flesh.
At this time, Rhodes, who was not far away, felt this. Vampire bats can last longer, unlike Rhodes, which has many limitations.
Therefore, Rhodes let these bats devour flesh and blood.
As the centaurs fell one after another, the centaur leader traveled from battlefield to battlefield, attacking the undead creatures around him.
The centaur leader approached a centaur who was fighting a ghost and slashed at the ghost in front of him.
The ghost quickly dodged backwards, trying to take advantage of the darkness around him to shake off the enemy's attack, but the centaur leader continued to pursue, slashing down two axes in succession, killing the ghost in the darkness.
After killing the ghost, the centaur leader moves on to the next location.
The darkness can't do much for the centaur leader, but for the centaurs around it, this darkness is obviously deadly.
The centaur leader tried to defend the centaur in front of him, but it didn't work much, and the surrounding ghosts were able to retreat before the centaur leader arrived.
Although the Centaur Leader is extremely powerful, it is also only a creature, and with the numerical superiority of the undead creatures under Rhodes' command, the Centaur Leader is obviously unable to deal with it.
Even so, the centaur leader did not stop his movements and began to quickly kill the surrounding undead creatures.
On the side, Rhodes felt the spiritual imprints dissipate one after another. Rhodes had some guesses about the perception that the centaur leader had.
This perception of the centaur leader should come from the special skill reconnaissance technique. Rhodes speculated that the centaur leader should have a good level of scouting.
Even though the centaurs around them also have reconnaissance skills, they are obviously not as good as the centaur leader.
Rhodes realized that to be able to completely ignore the effects of darkness and fight as usual, in addition to having a lot of combat experience, the Centaur Leader's Scouting skill level should be at or above the expert level.
At this time, the situation in the field was one-sided, and no matter how hard the centaur leader tried his best to deal with the surrounding undead creatures, the surrounding centaurs still fell one after another due to injuries.
For ordinary centaurs, it is obviously very difficult to fight on instinct after losing vision due to the lack of strong special skills to support them. In such a situation, in addition to being on guard against the enemy at all times, it is also necessary to overcome the instincts of creatures in order to effectively resist.
This is also why, when the black cloud first appeared, without waiting for Rhodes to attack, the morale instinct of these centaurs decreased and began to rout.
Rhodes gripped the hot dark shelter in front of him. Although this pendant does not provide any attribute blessings, it is undoubtedly worthy of the level of a treasure based on the special effects it comes with.
In the field, the vampire's form reappears. Through the vampire's perception, Rhodes knew that there were not many centaurs left that could still stand.
The last centaurs, though still standing in place, were covered in wounds and could be killed by the ghosts around them by attacking.
Taking advantage of the moment when the bats around him retreated one after another, the centaur leader quickly came to the surroundings of these injured centaurs through perception, raised his hand, and cast spells on these centaurs one after another.
Suddenly, the centaur recovered a lot from his injuries.
This scene was seen by the vampire, who immediately conveyed this information to Rod.
When the centaur leader released the spell, Rhodes felt the magic fluctuations, and at this time, through the message from the vampire, Rhodes realized that the spell cast by the centaur leader was the rarer magic in the first order, healing.
After realizing this, Rhodes was obviously stunned, even when he fought with other opponents before, these opponents did not master magic healing, but the centaur leader in front of him cast the spell of healing.
Before Rhodes could think about it, the centaur leader rushed towards the vampire who had ended his bat-turning.
