After nightfall, the group crossed a ridge under the leadership of Alex.
The terrain of the wasteland is always uneven, and this ridge is not particularly far from the campfire, and Alex explained it dutifully.
"Generally speaking, there are some butcher resurrection locations near each campfire, and we need to clean them up in order after each mist. Campfires and campsites will not trespass into an already designated resurrection area. The seven nearby areas Our stationed campfire is responsible for every point.”
Soon, everyone saw a small cave on the ridge. The icy wind was blowing out of the cave. Alex stood at the entrance of the cave and sniffed, then nodded and said: "The smell inside is not good. It’s considered strong, but the butcher’s strength is not very strong. Just be careful, there are usually ghosts around the butcher, don’t be attacked by surprise, I won’t go in to save you.”
"Thanks for showing the way." Jean nodded with a smile, raised his shield and walked into the cave first.
Everyone had already tried the special effects provided by their clothes before coming, and each piece of clothing had two types. The offensive type is the dark red weapon enchantment and short-term strength enhancement; the defensive type is the cyan and purple light shields spread out in front of you; the speed type is light body and invisibility; the auxiliary type is vitality perception and binding traps.
This distribution center is very generous.
Rang was guarding against attacks in front, while Lian Bisheng used his lenses to observe the surrounding feedback. The remaining four people guarded the left and right in groups of two and two. The bottom of the cave was not particularly spacious and could accommodate three people passing through side by side. Lu Ning was a little bit He was so worried that he glanced at the spear in Yan Rong's hand. If he started fighting here, he wouldn't be able to use it at all.
Fortunately, after walking deeper inside, we entered a slightly downward passage, and the top and surrounding areas became much wider. The dark environment does not have a great impact on the field of vision. It seems that the black engraving itself also contains some other mysteries.
"Two on the left, three on the right, kid." Lian Bisheng suddenly said.
"Hey, do you think we lack a long-range weapon?" Yuan Jie looked at the distance and was a little annoyed, "The gun used by Alex is pretty good, as can a crossbow or something like that. I remember there was this in the weapons pile. Category."
"The most troublesome thing about long-range is that once all the bullets are used up, the threat is immediately reduced to about 10%. No one will take it if they don't understand the scene." After Yan Rong finished speaking, he looked around, "I will handle it on the right side, and you guys will handle it on the left side." , be fast.”
"Stay quiet." After Zhu Qinyuan finished speaking, he touched his belt with his fingers and disappeared instantly.
Lu Ning also activated her invisibility and followed Yan Rong to quietly approach the three little ghosts. They are still about one meter tall, wearing tattered fur ball-like robes, but the things they hold in their hands are replaced by sharp ice picks.
After glancing at the path, Lu Ning quietly touched behind the little ghost who was positioned far away. As soon as she was in position, Yan Rong raised his gun and rushed towards the two little ghosts squatting together. Lu Ning drew his sword at the same time, The moment the invisibility was lifted, the blade had already cut off the kid's head.
Chi.
The dark red enchanted spear penetrated the two imps easily, and the bodies quickly turned into black matter and dispersed. Lu Ning returned the sword to its sheath, and on the other side, Zhu Qinyuan and Yuan Jie instantly killed the two imps without making any noise.
"Huh? This kid seems to have left something behind." Yuan Jie picked up a piece of black fur from the ground. Everyone came over and looked at it, but they didn't know what it was.
"Maybe it was a lucky drop." Yan Rong said nonchalantly, "Put it away and we'll find a chance to investigate."
Everyone had killed hundreds of imps in that castle before but nothing was left. It seemed like what Ru Yanrong said. Everyone didn't need any rest and continued to move forward. Under Lian Bisheng's investigation, the little guys who made all kinds of noises even when moving couldn't hide their positions. If the number was small, Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan would assassinate them. If the number was large, they would discuss it at the same time. Let's get started, there's nothing wrong with this bit of combat literacy.
Lu Ning also gradually became familiar with the use of her clothes.
I haven’t found the limit yet, but the two functions of invisibility and light body do require a certain cooling time. Invisibility can only be used again after about ten seconds after breaking the invisibility, while light body depends on the usage time. So far, Lu Ning’s most effective The light body that only lasted for a minute had to be stopped, and the duration was definitely longer than that. On the contrary, it would take nearly two minutes to use it again next time.
This is still very powerful because it can be triggered by just touching the button on the belt, and it also speaks to the heart and is not cumbersome. Lu Ning has decided to test the limits of his ability after returning this time to avoid accidents when using it in the future.
"I saw it. It's thick black, and it's not on the same level as the little devils." Lian Bisheng raised his finger and pointed ahead. There was a passage going up. Surprisingly, the passage was roughly ground into steps. The style, the curved door-like entrance above also seems to have been polished.
"Be prepared, I will take care of you." Jean raised his shield, "Let us see what this butcher looks like."
After carefully walking into the cave, everyone finally saw the "butcher" inside.
This is a circular cave that is not very flat. The entrance is still at a low position, and there are platforms of different heights separated by a stream of water in the distance, and the butcher is standing on the largest platform. Judging from the figure, it should be a female - although it is not sure whether the butcher really has a gender - it is wearing a white shroud with many blood-red handprints on it, and the part above the shoulders is nailed with messy wooden signs. A large number of rusty nails were pierced into the body, and even the head was wrapped in such a wooden sign. Its hands were human hands, except that a nearly half-meter piece of iron was embedded in the back of each hand.
The butcher stood there with his hands down, as if he didn't even notice anyone coming in from the direction of the door.
"This distance...if it really has a long range, we can give it a surprise first." Yuan Jie sighed, "Shall we go?"
"I will report its life status to you." Lian Bisheng said, "If nothing else happens...these butchers will go crazy when their lives are lost to a certain extent."
"There's no kid, right?" Yan Rong confirmed again.
"No, there's only one butcher here."
"superior!"
The dark red enchantment was coated on the spear again. Yan Rong never hesitated in charging. As soon as she crossed the shallow river, the butcher suddenly turned her head and raised her right hand.
The blade of ice stretched out from the iron piece, and it turned into a scimitar in the blink of an eye. The butcher slashed at Yan Rong. There was clearly a distance of more than ten meters, but the rolling cold wind suddenly made people feel a chill. Biting edge. So easy
Yan Rong dodged sideways to avoid the frontal attack, and a crack exploded on the ground three meters behind her.
They still continued to charge forward. Since everyone did not have long-range weapons in their hands, they had to force the opponent to get close to the enemy.
Yan Rong nimbly jumped from the lower platforms one by one, while Yuan Jie circled the other end and attacked from both sides. The butcher immediately waved his hands, two scimitars unfolded from his hands, and two more knives flew toward the two of them.
"It's much slower than a bullet!"
Yuan Jie's skills are also extraordinary. Unlike Yan Rong's way of dodging left and right, he dodges by running and rolling. Although it doesn't look very elegant, his sprint speed is even a few points faster than Yan Rong.
Jean's choice was different. He walked directly from the middle, not fast, but surprisingly stable. The Butcher also noticed Jean's steps when he attacked the two people on the left and right, and took the time to throw a blast of sword towards him when he entered the shooting range.
"Just right." Zang paused and raised his hand to hold up the arc-shaped shield composed of purple hexagons. The wind of the sword was invisible, but the moment it hit the shield, a strong light burst out, and then a purple half-moon appeared. The sword-shaped wind bounced back, and the butcher had to move his steps to avoid the blow he fired.
After such a delay, Yan Rong and Yuan Jie quickly moved closer.
The gun and ax were held up by ice knives, and both of them shuddered. The butcher's body twisted, and the two weapons were deflected by the two knives. Their bodies were so stiff that they didn't have time to stop, and they were moved half closer. meters distance. But the butcher quickly raised his two swords and chopped them off on their heads!
In the blink of an eye, the invisibility is broken.
Zhu Qinyuan blocked the waist and slashed with his sword, and Lu Ning jumped up and made a cross cut from the sky. They successfully cut out a large amount of black smoke from the butcher's body. Three huge cuts and lacerations appeared on its shoulders and waist, and the attack was stopped because of this. . Of course, this was not fatal. The Butcher jumped about five meters away and escaped from the encirclement. At the same time, Yan Rong and Yuan Jie also restored their posture.
"What's going on?" Lu Ning asked directly after landing.
"Its weapon has a strong cold-stiffening effect. Don't fight with it. Your sneak attack is effective. It should be that only the weapon has the effect... Don't worry, we still have the strength increase, and we were able to dodge it just now." Yan Rong looked calmly. He looked at the butcher calmly, "But her speed is really fast. Even though she took advantage of us being frozen, she wasn't particularly easy to pick up."
"Eighty percent!" Lian Bisheng shouted from afar.
"Your two sneak attacks are quite effective!" Yuan Jie said excitedly, "Inflicting heavy damage can indeed greatly weaken it. Shall we do it again?"
"They are not necessarily brainless. You can't always use the same tricks." Zhu Qinyuan stared at the butcher, "We still have to test whether there are other tricks."
"I come."
Yan Rong straightened up her spear and rushed forward. On such an open platform, the advantage of the spear was evident. The butcher's ice scimitar could not touch her at all. The most he could do was to fight her spear. However, after suffering a loss once How could Yan Rong give her a chance? He raised his arm, trembled with his gun and stabbed her while distracted. The butcher's two knives slashed in the air, but he didn't seize the opportunity at all. Instead, he stabbed her again in the chest and abdomen. Several clouds of black smoke exploded.
"seventy!"
"Yan Rong is very strong." Zhu Qinyuan put away the knife and activated the light body, "She can still keep up with the opponent's speed, and she is not even in agility clothing..."
"But we are not helpless!" Yuan Jie roared, directly activated the power enhancement, swung the ax and hit the butcher. Under Yan Rong's entanglement, the butcher had no chance to escape, and just slashed at him with one knife, but this time it was different. Unfortunately, there was no room for it to give way. Yuan Jie used terrifying strength to smash the ice blade against the stiffness, and chopped the ax into the butcher's ribs.
"It's so powerful!" He roared excitedly, and at this moment, the butcher suddenly let out a scream, and ice spikes extending outward in a ring began to appear on the rocks under his feet, and at the same time, the wooden planks on his shoulders exploded. Opening, cold current began to gather where the rusty nails had penetrated, forming new ice-condensed arms.
"It's gone crazy!" Yan Rong immediately jumped back to avoid the ice blade at his feet. The range of the ice blade ring was not large, only about three meters. The problem was that the large number of arms growing on the butcher's shoulders, each nail It's all a new hand, and now there are a total of more than ten arms on both sides waving randomly.
Lu Ning also cautiously distanced herself, with ice knives protecting her feet and arms surrounding her body. This was an insurmountable distance for a group of close combatants, especially since the ice made by this butcher could stiffen other people's movements.
"Fifty percent! It seems that this is the threshold..." Lian Bisheng smacked his mouth, "It's hard to handle. Although our attack is effective, it's a bit too much to be killed because of this..."
"I'll clear the way!"
Before anyone could come up with a solution, Yan Rong raised his spear again, activated the power enhancement, and crashed directly into the ice blades. The sound of breaking ice flakes continued to be heard, and a lot of water splashed on Yan Rong's body. There were blood flowers, but with the increase in clothing, he still rushed to the butcher against the ice blade bush.
Dozens of ice knives were used to cut off the butcher's head. Yan Rong pulled his stiff arms and raised the spear. At the same time, Rang had already turned over on the platform. He raised his hand and used a green shield to separate the upper body of the butcher's arms. Yan Rong also used The final force pierced the spear into the butcher's abdomen.
"This is too reckless..."
Zhu Qinyuan quietly entered the invisible state again. No one could catch her traces in the double state of light body and invisibility. Lu Ning and Yuan Jie followed the path that Yan Rong broke through and both rushed forward, taking advantage of Rang's shield. It could also withstand those arms and directly cut off the butcher's legs.
A large amount of black material surged out, but the butcher did not fall. Ice spread along the wound, forcibly connecting the broken leg, and Jean's light shield also turned into light points and dissipated when the ice blade smashed into it. Lu Ning only had time to grab Yan Rong's collar and pull it back. With her other hand, she held the blade tightly and Yuan Jie caught the butcher's knife with all her strength.
"Twenty more! If anyone hurts it again, it will die! It is almost dead!" Lian Bisheng's shout seemed to become much distant.
Cold - even cold that makes people feel no pain. Lu Ning can't remember how long it has been since she suffered such a crippling injury. The cold current caused by the random knife made her whole body stiff, and her arm was cut off quickly. Yuan Jie's arms were chopped into pieces. Such a sacrifice was expected. Lu Ning never thought that he could withstand the attack, as long as Yan Rong, the main combat power, could be preserved!
"You two!" Yan Rong's voice was filled with anger, "Don't fight in this way!"
The spear roared out. The period of stiffness had passed. Yan Rong, who had regained his flexibility again, shot through the messy arm and hit the butcher's throat directly.
