Chapter 48: The Hunt III

The blue-robed mage immediately unleashed an ice arrow at the undead warhorse.

Ice arrows are obviously more mana-intensive than magic arrows, but the blue-robed mage still chooses to use them.

The blue-robed mage knew in his heart that if he used a magic arrow, even if he hit the undead warhorse, if it didn't hit the head, it could only open a blood hole in its body, although it could affect its speed through injuries, but it couldn't kill it with one hit, it could still chase itself in the rear.

Due to the need to ride on a running horse to cast magic, the blue-robed mage was afraid that the impact of the horse's bumps would shift the accuracy of the magic a lot, and he was worried that he would not be able to kill the undead horse with magic arrows, so he used more powerful ice arrows.

Ice arrows shoot at the undead horses beneath the vampire. If it is a regular creature, similar to the wolf king that Rhodes dealt with at the beginning, or a vampire with a sense of battle, it instinctively senses danger and will find a way to dodge this spell.

The transformed undead war horse obviously did not have this ability, because it was only a low-level undead creature, it had no autonomous consciousness, and it didn't think about dodging the ice arrows shooting at him at all, but still rushed towards the blue-robed mage in front of him according to Rhodes' orders.

When the vampire saw the blue-robed mage raise his hand, he realized that he was ready to cast a spell and began to look for an opportunity.

The ice arrow is about to hit the undead warhorse. At the moment when the undead warhorse and the blue-robed mage were closer, the vampire jumped up from the body of the undead warhorse, and the sharp claws in his hand stretched straight out to the blue-robed mage in front of him.

The ice arrow hit the undead warhorse's predecessor directly, blasting half of its body apart and freezing a layer of frost at the same time.

Since the vampire jumped out of the undead warhorse one step earlier, it was not affected by the ice arrow. On the contrary, due to the undead warhorse's previous galloping all the way, at this distance, if the blue-robed mage did not react, the vampire could directly tear his body apart.

Sure enough, a second ice arrow also came to the vampire. Seeing this, the vampire directly used batatization, and his body turned into a cloud of black mist, and the ice arrow shot through the black mist, without causing any damage to the vampire.

In the black mist, a large number of bats pounced towards the location of the blue-robed mage and the horses beneath him. Under the cover of night, the bats seemed to merge with the shadows around them, revealing their hideous fangs in the darkness.

As early as the black mist appeared, the blue-robed mage began to prepare the next spell.

At this time, seeing the bats rushing towards him, the blue-robed mage raised his hand, and the ice ring that had cleared most of the bats on the battlefield reappeared.

With a loud explosion, an ice-blue ripple, centered on the blue-robed mage, scattered in all directions. A large number of bats turned into vampire bats died in an instant, and black mist burst out of the air one after another.

In the black mist, the figure of the vampire appeared, but he could barely stand, and almost fell to the ground, obviously in a very bad state.

Due to the close proximity of the bats to the blue-robed mage this time, all the bats were within the casting range of the Ice Ring, which also led to the fact that the blue-robed mage only released one Ice Ring and killed most of the bats instantly. For a while, the vampire ran out of health.

After the battification was over, the vampire ignored the blue-robed mage behind him, and quickly ran to the undead warhorse that had been killed earlier, and began to devour the flesh of the dead horse.

Vampires can regenerate health by devouring flesh, whether they are normal creatures or undead creatures whose flesh has not yet rotted. In this way, flesh and blood, vampire lives are worth recovering for.

On the other side, after releasing the Ice Ring, due to his understanding of the characteristics of vampires, the blue-robed mage wanted to release an ice arrow to kill it, but what he didn't expect was that the explosion generated when releasing the Ice Ring frightened the horses under him.

Although the position of the blue-robed mage and the horse is in the center of the Ice Ring, the horse does not take any damage from the Ice Ring. But the violent explosion generated by the Ice Ring stimulated its instincts, causing it to lose control in fear.

The horses under the blue-robed mage raised their front hooves and swung wildly, throwing the blue-robed mage to the ground, and then galloped away in one direction.

The blue-robed mage was suddenly thrown off by his horse and fell to the ground. Based on his daily experience, the blue-robed mage knows how to use his back to withstand most of the impact.

The sudden fall, although it didn't hurt the blue-robed mage too much, but looking at the horses in the distance, the blue-robed mage was in a very bad mood.

The blue-robed mage obviously didn't expect that at this most critical juncture, the horse he relied on to escape would be frightened and abandon himself and run away.

The blue-robed mage stood up from the ground, took it out of his pocket, and tore open a healing magic scroll to restore his state.

Turning his head to look at the vampire who was devouring the flesh of the horses not far away, the blue-robed mage condensed an ice arrow in his hand and shot it in its direction.

The vampire quickly devoured the flesh, not noticing the ice arrow that was rapidly shooting at him, and by the time it felt wrong, it was too late, and the ice arrow had already arrived in front of it.

Suddenly, a round shield flew in front of the ice arrow. With an explosion, the shield was knocked away by the ice arrow, flying in the direction of the vampire.

The vampire reacted immediately, flashing to the side.

At this time, Rod had also arrived, turned over and dismounted. After seeing this situation on the field, he immediately threw out the round shield in the spatial ring and blocked this ice arrow.

Compared to the blue-robed mage running away on horseback, Rhodes was more worried that he chose to hide in the forest.

Since it was already the middle of the night, and there were many traces left by the horses when they were running, Rod could still quickly judge. But if the blue-robed mage hid in the forest, Rhodes would not be able to find him in a short time, so he could only wait until dawn to find a way.

Therefore, Rhodes asked the vampire to catch up with the blue-robed mage on the undead horse, and fight him.

Rhodes deeply understands the power of the mage, therefore, Rhodes knows that the power of the vampire alone cannot defeat the blue-robed mage, and for the battle between the vampire and the blue-robed mage, Rhodes only hopes that the vampire can drag the blue-robed mage back, and it is best to kill the blue-robed mage's horse first.

At this time, although the vampire itself was seriously injured, what it did was obviously beyond Rhodes' expectations, not only consuming a large amount of mana of the blue-robed mage, but also causing the blue-robed mage's horses to flee in fright.

Rhodes knew that before the battle, the effective weakening of a mage was to trick him into unleashing his skills through various means, so that he would consume mana for nothing.

Rhodes took the iron sword out of the spatial ring and looked at the blue-robed mage not far away.
