Chapter 33: Escape from the Pursuit
In the Elwyn Forest, Leo sat on top of a wolf with a depressed expression.
Through the information from the crow, Leo could clearly see that he was followed by a tail, a deadly tail.
Why does this paladin have a lot of brains, you said it's been two days, what are you still chasing after me? What do you like about me, can't I change it?
Faced with the pursuit of a high-ranking knight, Leo, a low-level warlock, fled in addition to fleeing.
At least the level gap of fifteen levels is simply not something that can be made up by some small skills, and the difference in strength is too much, even if Leo has additional skills, it is impossible to think about it.
Since meeting the paladin outside the Xiquan Fortress until now, he has been enjoying the treatment of being chased, and in the past two days, Leo has exhausted all his methods, what crows sneak attack at night, poisonous flower vines from time to time, and wild wolves from time to time, these have no effect on the female knight. Even some misleading clues deliberately arranged by Leo could not make the female knight change direction, this woman seemed to have tracking skills comparable to that of a high-level hunter, no matter how Leo tried to get rid of her, she kept sticking to Leo like a piece of kraft candy, as long as he relaxed a little, he would close the already short distance between the two sides.
Leo wants to cry without tears, it's been two days, sister, it's been two whole days, can't you get tired of chasing so much? How much enmity do I have against you, and it's worth your hard pursuit?
To tell the truth, Leo really admires the female knight, he is already tired and half dead riding on the wolf, look at the female knight, people rely on their legs to keep chasing, wearing heavy metal armor, holding at least a hundred pounds of big sword in their hands, just keep chasing behind him, not even a moment. Leo really wanted to shout to the sky: Demon, demon! Is this knight still human? Are you sure she's not non-human?
Leo knew that he was in big trouble this time, after all, he had studied with Fursel for more than a year, and he was not the kind of innocent who was completely ignorant. The strength of the paladins depends on their devout belief in the Light, and the stronger their faith, the stronger they will be at the same level. Although the female paladin who followed behind her is only a high-level strength, it is much worse than many veteran knights, but the tenacity she shows is beyond the reach of many veteran knights, such a person's future achievements are by no means simple, as long as the female knight works hard enough, the future high-level of the Holy Light Cathedral will definitely have a place for her.
The stronger the faith, the stronger the female knight's will, and since such a person has set himself as the target of pursuit, he will never change easily. It was an excruciating pain for Leo.
Fortunately, I chose to run in the forest when I ran, and the knight's war horse could not play a role in the forest, otherwise I would definitely be chased by her and have no way to go to the sky. Leo thought, touching the snow-white fur of the wolf under him, this time thanks to the wolf, if it weren't for them, he would have been chased and slaughtered by the female knight. But it's not a way to be chased by her all the time.
Leo was trying to figure out of it when he suddenly heard a howl in front of him, and at the same time, a set of images from the crows exploring the way in front of him also sent back a set of images.
This is...... A tribe of gnolls!
Haha, God help me! Leo was happy, and the appearance of the gnoll tribe in front of him allowed him to find a way to escape from the pursuit of the female knight.
He took out a packet of white powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on his body, and with a wicked smile on his face, Leo commanded the wolf to run towards the noolll tribe.
Gnolls, which are humanoid creatures that resemble coyotes but can walk upright. They regard all living things, including their own people, as their own food. It can be said that appetite is their only motivation. These guys are lazy and savage, but there's no denying that they're pretty good. Adult gnolls are able to kill a tiger with their bare hands, and if they have a weapon, their combat power will increase to the point of being equivalent to that of a professional of the same level.
The gnoll tribe that Leo discovered was already quite large, and judging from the vision shared by the crows, this gnoll tribe had at least thirty strong gnolll brute soldiers, and more than a dozen of their close relatives, coyotes. What's more, the gnolls were armed with weapons - tattered leather armor, various broken swords, and so on. I don't know which hapless adventurers provided for them.
Leo is very happy with the strength that this gnoll tribe has, and he is not afraid that your strength is strong, but he is afraid that your strength is not strong enough. You earth dogs, just help my brother block the woman behind you.
Riding the wolf, Leo almost ran over the territory of the gnoll tribe. It stands to reason that with the Jackal's keen sense of smell, it would not have been possible for the gnolls not to spot Leo passing near their camp. But what is strange is that these gnolls, including their close relatives, coyotes, did not react in the slightest when Leo passed by, as if their sense of smell had collectively failed at this moment.
This may seem mysterious, but it's actually worthless.
The reason why Leo didn't get sniffed out by the gnolls' nose was due to the white powder he sprinkled on his body. This type of stuff called demiso was a must-have for the Assassins. You must know that many times when the Assassins are on a mission, they must not be detected in their hidden tracks, which not only requires them to pass the stealth skills and hide from other people's eyes, but more importantly, to remove the smell from their bodies. After all, the eyes can't see, but the nose of many things is very smart. Deodorant powder is developed to deal with organisms with a keen sense of smell. As a member of MI7, this kind of good Dongdong Leo is naturally prepared a lot.
Leo ran over unhindered, which did not mean that the female knight could pass by the gnoll tribe in such a chic manner.
A group of gnolls wandering aimlessly around the camp suddenly shrugged their noses and shouted excitedly: "Meat! Fresh meat! ”
"Human! Fresh meat! ”
The gnolls, who prefer to eat warm-blooded creatures, especially intelligent creatures, rioted en masse after smelling the scent of the female knight.
The earth dogs in Leo's eyes seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, with red eyes and disgusting saliva in their mouths, and they screamed and rushed in the direction where the female knight was.
The female knight who was chasing Leo froze for a moment, and the dozens of gnolls that suddenly rushed from the side made her frown, so that it was not that the female knight could not take these gnolls, but that she had to make a choice between chasing and killing Leo and purifying these evil creatures that eat people. After a second of thought, the knight reversed course and brandished her great sword and charged towards the gnolls.
"Evil humanoids, be purified by the Light."
Between hunting down a human and purifying the evil creature that eats people, the female knight chooses the latter.
Listening to the howl of the gnoll man mixed with whining and screaming from behind, Leo on the back of the wild wolf couldn't help but show a smug smile.
This girl really did what she thought, and she chose the latter between killing people and purifying evil creatures.
Chick, you can play with the jackal slowly, brother will not accompany you. Have fun.
