The Death List Novel - Chapter 706
Chapter 706 Interception Layer By Layer
Hiding in the darkness, “he” caught the opportunity to attack, and did not violate the cooperation contract. After all, the target of the black arrow was the broken body of the Lizardman Commander, and Lolita could only be considered an incidental “accidental injury”.
‘”Qin Lun ~” Wei Si, who had seen him attack, had his canthus split open. He instantly erupted, killing the two Lizardmen who were at the end of their crossbows like a whirlwind. He raised his head and roared, “Come out!”
Silver-haired elf, who was squatting far away on a giant mushroom, curled his lips into a cold arc and casually tossed away the bloody Magic Cube that had just emerged from the void. Of course, he would not go out at this time. He was very happy to see Wei Si erupt with anger a few more times.
Apostle’s explosion cost a lot of money, and the cooldown time of high-level skills was very high. Wei Si’s explosion this time contained at least one [B] class skill. This meant that he would no longer be able to use [Tornado Slash] for a short period of time.
“Wei Si, calm down! Hill and Rand have disappeared. They have a plan!” Romon sent out another piece of bad news on the guild channel.
“Let’s retreat!” Wei Si gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
“You want to run?” The three Apostle made a slight abnormality, and “he” saw it clearly and gestured towards Kirkner below the giant mushroom.
A cold light flashed in Kirkner’s eyes. According to her personality, she was reluctant to let a male lead the battle, especially since this male was still a surface elf.
However, this Silver-haired elf’s grasp of the battle situation was indeed excellent, and all sorts of reminders had become reality.
Moreover, Wendini had already vaguely said that this fallen Abyss Devil Hunter would be sacrificed to the arachne queen. This kind of top-grade gift would definitely make the goddess happy, and it would be beneficial to both of their families.
Another crucial point was that this Abyss Devil Hunter was too special and had fallen so thoroughly. Look at the skeletal artwork he made in the Ox-Head Monster Labyrinth. Perhaps he could become the queen’s attendant and become a spider blasphemer.
Although blasphemers would no longer linger on their memories, it was hard to say whether they would hate those who had insulted him. Therefore, Kirkner and Wendini agreed that it was necessary to give him a certain courtesy before he died.
These potential thoughts only circulated in Kirkner’s mind for a moment before disappearing without a trace. She took out a dark purple whistle from her bosom and blew it by her mouth. An inaudible sound wave spread throughout the mushroom forest. Apart from the specially trained Priest Zhuo Er, there was only one creature that could hear this summon.
Although they had lost two companions, Monkey and Lolita, the three of them had calmed down after their initial grief and anger. No matter how strong and stable the Apostle team was, it was impossible for them to never lose their companions in the mission world.
At this moment, he had to calm down, otherwise, there was only one way out. The dead are dead, but the living have their responsibilities. Team battles between two competing teams were the most dangerous, but few Apostle hated each other.
However, Qin Lun’s current actions were too hateful. Even if the Wei Si team met him by chance, it could still be said to be a serious betrayal. As long as the three of them survived, they would definitely make revenge their top priority.
“Since that fellow has set such a big trap for us, he must want to annihilate us.” Wei Si said expressionlessly, “If that’s the case, we can’t continue on the old road to the surface. We can just hide in the dark for a few days and spend all our time there before we can return.”
“Yes, I remember Qin Lun saying that they belong to Devil’s horn’s lost guild. After we return, we’ll settle this debt with them slowly!” Romon said with a livid face.
After a brief exchange on the guild channel, the three of them consciously gathered together. The process went very smoothly. After Lolita died, the Lizardmen no longer desperately intercepted the three Apostle. Instead, they concentrated their combat power on the dwarves.
In all seriousness, these dwarves were actually stronger than Wei Si’s team. Among them, there were two high-level experts, and the rest were elite warriors. However, the dwarves didn’t have as many magic scrolls and trump cards as Apostle, and they had suffered heavy losses in the first wave of Lizardman melee sneak attacks.
Two of the dwarves died, and the other dwarves suffered injuries of varying degrees. This was because the dwarf warriors had the talent to protect their body and stone skin, and their physiques were also high. Otherwise, it would not be surprising if more than half of them died.
Even so, the dwarves were still unable to gather together, and with the occasional sneak attacks of the Zhuo Er warriors amongst the Lizardman cavalry, they had already reached the brink of annihilation.
The three of them quietly moved towards the edge of the battlefield, followed by a few Lizardmen who were pestering them. However, the three of them were very smart, and most of their energy was focused on defense, so the battle was not going well.
“Now, let’s go!” Seeing that he was very close to the edge of the encirclement, Wei Si finally let out a loud roar and used all of his strength to kill the Lizardman who had been entangled in front of him for a long time.
Newton took a deep breath and half squatted down. The tower shield he had picked up earlier trembled. Five or six afterimages of the same tower shield appeared on both sides of him, as if they were divided into dozens at the same time.
“Heavy Shield Strike!” More than a dozen shield guards, who looked exactly like Newton, pounced, sending all the Lizardmen flying away.
“Light Body Technique, Brute Force Technique!” Romon, who had been recovering his strength, suddenly opened his eyes. Several magic beams landed on his two companions one after another, causing them to suddenly increase their combat strength.
The originally bulky Shield Guard had turned into a humanoid tank. Relying on the additional benefits of both the Brute Force and Light Body Techniques, it had forcefully crushed a gap in the Lizardman’s encirclement.
“That fellow is right again. The explosive power of these mercenaries is really strong!” Wendini, who was watching from behind, frowned slightly and his eyes sparkled as he fell into deep thought, “Is this an isolated phenomenon, or is it that human mercenaries are so powerful?”
“So what? They still can’t escape. My little cute is already in place!” Kirkner sneered and curled his lips in disdain as he looked at the back of Wei Si and the others.
As the new generation of Priest Zhuo Er, she was not as steady as Wendini. Like all the young drow, she had always believed that the drow elves were the noblest of all species.
As for whether the battle plan came from Qin Lun’s hands, not her own, this point had been selectively forgotten by her.
“Let’s go as well. It’s almost time!” Wendini smiled gently. With her status, she naturally wouldn’t argue with a hairy girl like Kirkner. She stood up from her hiding place and added a floating divine spell to herself, flying forward.
“Success!” On the other side, Wei Si and the others revealed pleasant surprise in their eyes. They had already seen the gap in the encirclement, and the Lizardmen who were desperately rushing over could no longer block their footsteps.
As long as they escaped the encirclement, the Drow Elves would be helpless against them. If these drow elves still refused to give up on their pursuit, the three of them were even confident that they could use guerrilla warfare to exterminate their shame. The apostles were never afraid of guerrilla warfare or protracted warfare against a group of alien natives.
‘”Rumble ~” Just as the three of them were about to flee the encirclement and leave all the Lizardmen behind, the ground trembled slightly. A boiling sound came from underground.
“There’s still an ambush!” The three of them were shocked.
Wasn’t the ambush supposed to start with bayonet bloodshed? This type of tactic was unexpected. The more troops one threw at the beginning, the greater the damage they would inflict on the enemy. In fact, the tactic of adding fuel wasn’t suitable for ambush warfare.
However, this ambush was different. His main target was the Wei Si team, and the apostles were a type of opponent that could not be dealt with in one go. The greatest characteristic of outstanding apostles was that the greater the pressure they faced, the more tenacious their performance became. The immortal Xiao Qiang was said to be an apostle.
Wei Si’s guild was an excellent apostle above Second Grade. Even if the Drow Fairy had sent two priests into battle from the beginning, it would be difficult for them to be killed at once. Therefore, they could only use the Fuel Restoration Tactic. First, he forced out all of Wei Si and the others’ trump cards one by one, and then shot them to death.
The ground trembled so violently that even though it did not cause the three of them to lose their balance, they could only stabilize their bodies for a moment and could no longer move forward. The only good news was that the Lizardmen on their left and right sides were unable to get close at this time.
The ground beneath their feet rose like steamed buns, forming a small hill in an instant.
“Jump down! This thing is alive! You can’t stand on its back!” Romon, who had the highest perception among the three, suddenly changed his expression. He raised his staff and added another light movement technique to his two companions.
At the same time, he secretly swallowed a bottle of magic potion. His combat experience was much richer than Lorita’s. Ever since the beginning of the battle, he hadn’t used any powerful spells. Instead, he kept using small spells to reduce his consumption.
Apostle’s ability to use recovery items was not fake. No matter how good the recovery treasures were, they would still develop resistance to drugs. Furthermore, it would take a certain amount of time for them to take effect. Moreover, the consumption of magic power would reduce one’s mental energy. If one’s mental energy was exhausted to a certain extent, it would be very difficult for the medicine to work again.
Wei Si and Newton obediently jumped down from the top of the hill with the help of the Light Body Technique.
When they looked back, their pupils contracted and their faces darkened. This Zhuo Er Elves actually brought such a colossus out of the underground city. This thing was really useless to hunt down a few defectors from Elves. It was more like showing off to other teams.
The thing lying in front of them was an incomparably large crustacean creature. It looked like a scorpion in its entirety. There were two giant pliers in front of its body, and its chain-shaped crustacean tail was the poisonous hook of a scorpion.
The only thing that didn’t resemble a scorpion was that it had eight pairs of compound eyes from head to back. Each pair of compound eyes was surrounded by several furry, barbed antennae. There was a layer of greasy black liquid on the surface of the antennae. It was disgusting to smell, and it was obviously poisonous.
Wei Si and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Fortunately, Romon reminded them in time. If they were still on its back and were hooked by those antennae, they would suffer a lot.
They had seen this thing from the Santalin Society’s information. This was a Battle Rank weapon that Zhuo Er Elves had started raising before he was banished to the Dark Region. The Crypt Demonic Scorpion was also known as the Siege Scorpion!
Legend has it that this thing only needed one to dig through the walls of the fortress. Using this thing to hunt down defected elves, wasn’t it just showing off? However, he did not expect that the defected Dark Elves would not enjoy this treatment and would be given a verbal reward by Wei Si and the others!
