Chapter 0030 Sneak Attack and Counter Sneak Attack

The night was still dark.

An invisible shadow danced in the intermittent shadows as if swimming, sometimes in the shadows of houses, sometimes in the reflections of patrolling soldiers, and sometimes in the flickering shadows of torches.

As he kept jumping, the shadow gradually left the village of Russelan and plunged headlong into the nearest mountain forest, and after going deep for 7-8 miles, he stopped in front of a tall old tree.

"Come in!" A cracked, hoarse voice sounded abruptly.

Without hesitation, he plunged headlong into the torso of the ancient tree, and a wave of magic ripples fluctuated slightly, and the shadow disappeared as if it had melted into the trunk.

There wasn't much space inside the tree, except for a scrawny mage sitting in a cloak, his whole body obscured from the slightest, and only occasionally when he looked up, he could see two pulsing green flames under his hood.

In front of the mage was a staff with a strange shape, the body of the staff was coiled by two poisonous snakes, intertwined to the top to converge into a double snake bead, and a huge soul bead was fixed on the head of the staff.

The shadow seemed to not dare to approach the staff at all, hovering in the farthest distance, and finally condensed into a dwarf, bowing to the mage.

"Something handed over to him? What did he say that was useful? The mage's unpleasant voice rang out, and he tilted his head as if to communicate something with the dwarf.

"Something might have happened to Tomur's group? I need you to find out where he is. Tomur is a junior specially explained by the high-level mage Amvet, how can he fail to carry out a small ambush mission? The other party is just a low-level mage, huh? ”

When the gnome received the order, his body exploded violently, turning into wisps of smoke, and he jumped through the illusion circle behind him towards the direction given by the necromancer.

Dozens of miles of mountain roads were fleeting, and half an hour later, the shadow had already appeared in the camp where Li Xun had fought last time. After taking a closer look at the battlefield, the shadow recondensed into the form of a gnome, stopping at the place where the necromancer died, hesitating. That doesn't seem right! Master Nicholas had said that the two necromancers were a low-level mage who had come to ambush the humans, but it seemed that there had been a skirmish here, and it was by no means a simple spell attack between three or two mages.

There are no corpses of the enemy in the entire battlefield, and judging from the distribution of the deaths of skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and vampires under the necromancer, the two sides were in a stalemate at first, and then the enemy broke through the zombie defense line in the middle and killed 2 necromancers in one fell swoop. How can a low-level human mage do this? Where did he get reinforcements?

Ruthran Village has been under the surveillance of the necromancer, and it is impossible for the large-scale army to be dispatched without knowing it, and the small-scale army is powerless to resist in the face of dozens of skeletons and zombies, could it be that the army composed of pure knights is with that mage? But Hans didn't mention a large group of knights at all!

With all kinds of doubts, the dwarf turned into a shadow and circled slightly, and went straight to the camp along the route that Li Xun had taken. Halfway through, at the teleportation point where Li Xun teleported back to Eternal Night City, he turned around twice suspiciously, feeling the imperceptible spatial fluctuations in the air, and the shadows became even more cautious.

A low-level mage capable of using space spells? Whether you use scrolls or magic items, you should be careful, space spells are full of all kinds of mysterious and imperceptible means, and if you are not careful, you may also suffer a big loss. His own shadow shuttle is also a kind of space spell, but it is more of his own natural skill, so he can use it so freely.

Outside the cave where Li Xun was resting, more than a dozen Tian eaters hid in the treetops, weedy piles, stone wall crevices, etc., motionless, only vigilant eyes scanning every move around them. The entrance to the cave is small and is covered by a black cloth to hide the light of the campfire inside.

Shadows slowly wandered in the reflections of the trees, silently surveying these ugly creatures that they had never seen before. It's really like an undead creature ghoul, but many details are very different, could it be that the one in the cave is also a necromancer, a genius necromancer who can improve undead creatures?

Without alarming the many "sentinels", nor did it touch the magic alert at the entrance of the cave, the shadow appeared in the black shadow on the top of the cave with a jump, and peeked condescendingly inside.

One person, one skeleton, 5 "ghouls".

The one who was wrapped in a futon and lying at the innermost end of the cave should be the mage he was looking for, and he couldn't see his face from this angle. 5 "ghouls" are scattered around the cave and prostrate around, the only thing that can attract attention is the skeleton sitting quietly by the campfire more than 3 meters high, with armor, shields and swords, at least a skeleton general, just sitting there has a kind of breathtaking momentum, which can't help but make the shadow re-raise the evaluation of skeletons, skeleton king.

It is difficult to summon such a king-level undead creature through guò, and it is only possible to find its figure in the undead plane, and it is impossible for a king-level undead to naturally evolve in the main material realm, and such a strong undead will only sign a friendly contract with a mage who is equally powerful, how can it be possible to keep vigil for a low-level mage?

No matter! It doesn't matter what mysterious background he has, when he dies, there is nothing!

A defenseless low-level mage and a group of physically attacking minions, as a shadow killer, you have nothing to worry about!

The mage remained motionless, and even a slight snoring could be heard, and the skeleton sat by the campfire, its back to the mage, its eyes fixed on the entrance of the cave. Under the light of the bonfire, the skeleton's figure was projected on the ground, very close to the mage.

Yiqiē seemed to be ready for himself as a shadow killer, and he only needed to jump over lightly and gently stroke the mage's neck, and tonight's task was completed.

Without hesitation, the next moment, the Shadow Slayer had already appeared in Skeletron's reflection, re-transformed into a dwarf form, and gently raised the Soul Eater dagger in his hand.

Before it could attack, Skeletron turned sharply, and the greatsword slashed at the dwarf's back in a black-and-red arc, taking away a large cloud of black smoke. Wraith Crit! Just when the dwarf was frightened and found that he couldn't move any part of his body, Li Xun reflexively pressed a finger on its forehead, and an "inextinguishable flame" instantly blessed the dwarf's body, and then rolled to the side with the quilt, and after leaving the dwarf for a distance, he jumped up violently, and the "dancing light technique" and "light technique" had been thrown to both ends of the cave, and the cave was instantly illuminated.

After all the shadows in the cave were dispelled, the dwarf woke up from the soul shock, watched his body gradually turn under the blessing of the "Immortal Flame", let out a piercing scream, turned over to dodge Skeletron's giant sword, but was hit by Li Xun's "soul moth", and the intensity of the scream instantly increased by 1 times.

Damn, this is the most vicious trap! They actually knew that they were shadow creatures, and all they used just now was an attack on the soul, and they couldn't avoid any of them. The most damned thing is this "Immortal Flame", with its blessing on the body, it is a trivial matter not being able to escape with a shadow jump, and what is even more terrifying is that after the body is forcibly transformed into an entity, the physical attacks that could have been exempted can not be done now.

No, get out of here now!

The determined dwarf flexibly dodged the attacks of Skeletron and Li Xun, while peeking at the entrance of the cave, looking at the five "ghouls" blocking the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help but curse, and secretly felt bad in his heart.

When it was slashed in the back by Skeletron just now, it was still an empty body, but it consumed a lot of energy and didn't do much real damage, but Li Xun's soul attack spell really hurt it. After all, other creatures have a body to carry their souls, which can be immune to a certain amount of damage, but it is now completely a combination of shadow matter and soul, and it has to take full damage when encountering soul attack spells. Therefore, in the process of moving towards the entrance of the cave from behind, the dwarf encountered an attack that could not be dodged, and would rather be slashed by Skeletron than hit by Li Xun's spell, and soon regretted his wrong choice.

Skeletron's second Dark Fire Critical Strike hit the dwarf's body smoothly, and Li Xun took advantage of the dwarf's vertigo to burst out with all his strength and blasted it to pieces with magic missiles, scorching rays, and fiery orbs, completely destroying this difficult shadow creature.

At the same time as the soul of the shadow creature shattered, the necromancer far away in the ancient tree raised his head, and the green flame under his hood surged violently, and the contract backlash made him can't help but snort. It was easy to stabilize the shock of the soul, and the necromancer groaned for a while, and his heart was also shocked.

The Shadow Slayer is indeed not a powerful guy, but that is only for them high-level mages, a mid-level mage does not have a chance to escape if he encounters a shadow killer without prior preparation, let alone a low-level mage.

What is the origin of this low-level mage? He used to seem to despise him, thinking that two of the same low-level necromancers plus nearly a hundred undead creatures could eat him steadily, so he asked Tomur, who had a little relationship, to lead the team to gain some experience, but he didn't expect to cause him to never return. This time, even the most handy contract creature shadow killer he used died there inexplicably, and the damage to his soul was small, and how to enter and exit Rutheran Village in the future is a big matter!

A shadow killer who has no undead breath can easily enter and exit Russelan Village, which is full of magic vigilance circles, what should he do now? How do you keep in touch with the corpse golems inside? It's not impossible to cast a spell remotely to control the corpse puppet, but then the spell fluctuates too much, and it is easy to be perceived by the vigilance array inside, so it is absolutely impossible at present, and it will destroy the previous arrangement.

Thinking of all the troubles brought to him by the death of the Shadow Slayer, Nicholas, a high-level necromancer at level 11, was upset, and wanted to catch that hateful little mage immediately, transform his body into a zombie, and extract his soul to be calcined by flames, so that he would mourn for eternity. After estimating the distance, he knew that it would be useless for him to rush now, so he could only curse hatefully, and re-calm down and think about how to remediate the loopholes in the plan.
