Chapter 102: Tracking and Counter-Tracking (1) (It's time to open a reality base!) )
"Isa, how's it going?"
"The target is indeed very powerful, the Poison Blasters did not complete the mission, but they injured the target's mount!"
"Really? That's not bad either! ”
On a barren and icy plain, Xue Hua was sitting on the back of a cockroach and quickly moving towards the stone wilderness, and the poisonous explosion insect left in the woods was of course his idea, at that time he just wanted to confirm the opponent's tracking method, and also tried to use the huge destructive power of the poisonous explosion insect to directly kill the opponent by surprise, but he didn't expect that although he failed to blow up the assassin, he had an unexpected gain.
If the opponent's mount was injured, the tracking would have to slow down, and he would have more time to plan the route and get the assassin in trouble.
It would be about a day's walk from his current location to the stone wilderness, and he had the map that the king worm had detected in advance, so he could avoid many detours.
"Juggernaut, the king worm in the rear reports that the assassin is also on his way, and he can indeed track your specific location!"
"Oh? Let me see? Xue Hua switched his vision to the king worm and saw that Jericho was riding towards him on the hell wildebeest, and the hell wildebeest had an obvious corroded scar on its right hind leg, although it had begun to heal, but this wound still affected the speed of the wildebeest.
However, even so, is the speed of the horse still too fast?
Xue Hua watched in shock at the still lightning-fast speed of the injured Hell wildebeest when it ran, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to flip the table.
Nima, even if you have the word hell in front of your name and an extra horn on your head, aren't you still a horse? How can he run faster than he meows in Formula 1?
"No! If we go on like this, we will be overtaken! Gotta have some fun with him! Xue Hua secretly gritted his teeth and ordered Isha to hatch eight poisonous explosion insects once more, and let them ambush them in the path that the other party must pass.
And this time, Xue Hua ordered all the poisonous blasters to target the horse!
I'll make you run so well!
......
Xue Hua continued to rush towards the stone wilderness, but left eight poisonous explosion insects in place.
But this time, the Poison Explosion Insect Trap did not work as well as it should.
Jericho somehow spotted the poisonous blasters lurking underground from far away, and shot a dagger made of pure shadow energy to kill them one by one.
The range of this attack is not short, and the power is not small, causing Xue Hua's original idea of sending the dragon to harass him completely bankrupt.
Although this guy has no trap skills, he still has ranged attacks!
And the poisonous insect trap is useless, this guy seems to be able to detect lurkers!
Seeing the assassin chasing closer and closer, Xue Hua seemed to be able to hear the hooves of the hell wildebeest!
"Damn it! What to do? He swallowed and clutched his head to think about what to do.
"That's right! I don't know if this trick works! Isha, let the Overseer get a few mimic chicks out, make them look like me, and then get a few jumping worms to take them and run in other directions! ”
Xue Hua, who was in a hurry, remembered that the supervising king worm had the skill of hatching mimic chicks, and he decided to use this skill to give it a try, anyway, there was no other trick, so he could only let Tunam take the swarm up and fight hard!
Soon, three mimic chicks turned into Xue Hua's appearance, and were carried by the two jumping insects one after the other, running in three different directions.
"Isha, let's change direction and go a little farther from the east."
"Yes, Juggernaut!"
......
Less than two kilometers behind Xue Hua, Jericho crouched on his horse and chased frantically, his instincts telling him that he was not far from his goal.
Every time he walked, he would pull out the little pocket watch-like tracker and look at it to make sure he hadn't been thrown off.
So far, the tracker has been working with his track observations to convince him that he is not taking the wrong path, and that the traces along the way are getting fresher and fresher, which means that he is indeed approaching his goal!
The trackers were gadgets he had brought back from Harogas, and they could only be used once each, and only on one person, and because they were handmade by skilled mages, they were not produced in high quantities and were extremely expensive.
This thing requires living tissue from the target's body to track the target's tracks, and it works well from a long distance.
But it's really too expensive, and he only has so many.
The one in my hand is the last one left.
Originally, he had another one, but not long ago, the "adult" asked him to take away the tracker, and it was said that it was also wasted on the guy he was chasing.
"Humph! What a bunch of rubbish! Six assassins of more than ten levels, but they can't handle a necromancer who is less than ten levels? ”
Jericho's mouth showed a sneer, although he also admitted that this little necromancer's summon was indeed weird enough, it could burrow into the ground, it would explode on itself, and it was not small.
But so what?
He has lived for hundreds of years, what kind of genius has he not seen in these hundreds of years? What kind of genius hasn't been killed?
It is the genius who is alive.
Dead ......
Nothing!
Thinking of this, Jericho once again took out the tracker, ready to determine the bearing.
However, this time, the display of the tracker made him a little dumbfounded.
I saw that the pointer on the tracker was swinging to the left, then to the right, and then trembling in place, as if it wanted to divide itself into two, so that it could point in several directions at the same time.
"What's going on?" Jericho put the tracker in the palm of his hand and knocked it, but when he picked it up, the pointer was still swinging around.
"Damn it!" Jericho cursed, grabbing the reins in his hand.
"Phew... Sigh... Good boy... ......"He calmed his horse's little frustration with one hand, but shook the tracker with the other.
"This damn shit!" After shaking it for a long time, he found that the tracker was still pointing everywhere, so angry that he almost crushed this broken thing.
But after a moment's hesitation, he put the tracker back in his pocket, and the killer's instinct told him that it was his target playing tricks.
However, without the guidance of the tracker for the time being, Jericho could only rely on his trace identification technique to barely find the direction of Xue Hua's progress.
And from Xue Hua's previous route, Jericho had already guessed that he might be going to the Stone Wilderness.
But the junction between the Stone Wilderness and the Icy Plains is not the same as the junction between the Icy Plains and the Blood Wasteland.
There is only one passage between the Icy Plains and the Blood Wasteland, and on either side of the passage are rocky mountains that are difficult for birds to cross.
There is a clear road between the Stone Fields and the Icy Plains, and there are rumors among professionals that if you walk on the Icy Plains and suddenly find many large rocks, then don't doubt that you must have come to the Stone Fields.
Of course, this rumor is exaggerated, there is a special film of energy between the cold plains and the stone wilderness, this film is like a hidden restriction rune at the entrance of the cave, which is used to seal off the monsters of an area, this is the work of the ancient Hradim mages, but due to the large range and the passage of time, this restricted area effect is almost only a very weak layer.
However, as the pro passes through this film, you will have a distinct sensation that will immediately tell you that you have crossed an area.
But this rumor also confirms how vast the border between the two places is, which is why the Rogs did not choose to continue to reclaim the Icy Plains.
However, the vast frontier was now causing problems for the Assassin Jericho, as he had no way of knowing exactly where Xue Hua would enter the Stone Field.
But in the end, he still chose the freshest trace route and tracked it down.
Just as he is desperate to restore his skill tree, he lives by the motto that he would rather do wrong than nothing.
