Under the setting sun, the transfer station dyed red with blood exuded a dazzling light.
I took a deep breath and told myself that I must calm down at this time.
Trying to avoid the blood on the ground, I carefully moved to the side of the corpse. During the break from practicing with Kasha, she did not forget to instill some miscellaneous combat knowledge into me. One of them was simply identifying the traces of the corpse. One thing, at that time, I didn’t think this skill was of any use. I only had the patience to learn it out of my interest in detective novels and the idea of using up my time.
I thought with a wry smile that if I could, I would rather not use it for the rest of my life.
First, I came to the closest corpse. This corpse was lying on the ground with its back turned to the sky. Judging from the source of the blood, the fatal injury should be on the neck.
After observing carefully for a while and confirming that nothing was missing, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding, I carefully turned over his body and planned to turn him around. Maybe I could find some clues from the front.
Unfortunately, I was only half successful. Although the body was turned over, its head was only pulled but did not turn around. It looked as if the neck had been twisted alive, which almost scared me. Big jump.
Holding back a scene that only appeared in horror movies, I stepped forward - it turned out that the wound on the neck of the corpse was so deep that it was almost severed. The squirming trachea and flesh on the fault, and The neck bones are clearly visible, leaving only a thin layer of skin connected to the body.
After coming to the conclusion, I turned the head of the corpse and saw the pale face in my eyes. My heart couldn't help but suffocate slightly. It was this face that sincerely suggested to me to take a rest yesterday. Rogge Archer left at night. At this time, his face no longer had the smile of yesterday. What appeared in front of me was a horrified face. And what all those who are about to be summoned by death have in common - attachment to life.
He was killed in one blow. From his completely preserved look of horror, I could immediately tell that even if he was not killed instantly, he could not hold on for long. And judging from the fact that there was only one wound on his neck, the most likely possibility was that Kill with one blow.
Even a soldier-level warrior cannot be so weak! What on earth could kill him instantly? I can't help but compare myself. If I don't use magic, even if I transform into a bear, I can take the 4-27 damage machete and hit the maximum damage value. I don't have much confidence that I can kill it instantly.
Then I looked through the bodies of the other two people. Without exception, they were killed in one blow. There were expressions of surprise on their faces. It seemed that they didn't have time to resist. Judging from these signs, there were only two things I could think of. Condition.
The first is that there is more than one enemy, and the second is that the enemy is very fast, because the three people fell at different positions, and there are no traces of movement, judging from the similarity of the wounds. Also, judging from the fact that the scene was not messy, it was obviously the latter situation.
What kind of enemy could make these determined soldiers look so surprised, and who in the Rogge camp could have such strong strength? Thinking of this, a figure overlapped in my mind. Yes, the cloaked man who brought me powerful force this morning, and wasn’t his target the outer corridor teleportation station? Although I don't want to admit it, there are various signs that he is the biggest suspect.
"hateful……"
No matter what the reason. Why do you want to kill your comrades? Why
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists so hard that I couldn't forgive you!
The blood on the ground was cold and solidified. Judging from the time, he had been dead for at least several hours, and there was an unexpected discovery. There was a small bonfire not far from the body, which was still warm, and a few pieces of meat foam were left on the ground.
It seemed that the murderer could not be discovered at all. After killing the person, he rested for a while and ate a lot. Is this confidence or provocation?
For me, this is good news and bad news. The murderer has not gone far and he should still be able to catch up. This is indeed good news. But the bad news is also terrible - this person is determined, cruel and powerful, and it is definitely difficult to deal with.
At the critical moment, Xiaoxue was of great help again. After understanding what I meant, it circled around and sniffed around with its nose that was more sensitive than a dog. After a while, it made new discoveries.
After a while, under the leadership of Xiaoxue, we chased out of Taimo Highland from the outer corridor. The other four ghost wolves and poisonous flower vines fell behind, obviously unable to keep up with Xiaoxue's speed, although I also wanted to hurry up. I caught up with the murderer, but I had to ask Xiaoxue to slow down. Facing the unknown enemy, I had to maintain my full strength.
While Xiaoxue was following Xiaoxue all the way, I was also thinking about countermeasures. If the murderer was really that person, then I would investigate it myself.
How to do it? I have been in the Dark World for more than a year, but I have never really competed with other adventurers at all. In other words, there is a huge gap between us in terms of experience.
Moreover, based on the performance of the other party, there is no doubt that he is a strange assassin. From the momentum and the signs of the three corpses, I judge that his strength level is equal to that of Sister Sharna, even before her Above, but it won’t be too different, otherwise I would never dare to catch up so rashly.
In other words, he should at least be able to use third-level skills. Regarding the assassin's skills, I carefully recalled the introduction in Kane's book. They are divided into traps, martial arts, and shadow training. I don't know what he is. Which department I am proficient in, I hope it is martial arts, otherwise with my speed, it will be difficult to even get close to him.
As for the equipment, I thought about it for a long time and finally decided on the following items.
Clothes, strong scales, 82 defense.
Gloves: Death Leather Gloves, of course, covered with a pair of ordinary gloves.
Shoes: Golden Heavy Boots, 12 defense, +15 accuracy, +10 stamina, +5 agility (this way, the crossbow can also be used), +1 lighting, anti-freeze +19. As for the +30 defense, ignore it...
Belt: Gold light buckle, 5 defense, +5 agility, +18 life, +15 strength, lightning resistance +24, poison resistance +22. The attacker is harmed
Weapons: Because there are so many to choose from, I haven’t decided what to use. I’ll take the scepter first (+1 resistance to aura, +3 light bullets. Resistance to poison +15) to strengthen the defense, and then adapt accordingly.
As for necklaces and rings, there is nothing extra for me to choose from.
What makes me hesitate the most is the hats. Two of them are very suitable. One is a blue skull hat with +25 fire resistance, because among the assassin’s skills, there are the second-level skill Flame Fist of the Martial Arts Department, and The third level skill of the trap system, Flame Resurrection, mainly deals with fire damage. Therefore, fire resistance is particularly important.
Another option is the wolf head. Although its attributes are relatively rubbish, it is better than the wide field of vision. It is very effective for dealing with speed-type assassins. After thinking for a long time, I decided to wear the skull cap first.
Although I'm sure the man didn't go very long, he obviously wasn't going very slowly. Until nightfall, Xiaoxue and the others, who had been maintaining the maximum speed, could not see any trace. If Xiaoxue had not confidently told me that I was not lost, I would have doubted whether I was going in the wrong direction. After all, we were going in the vastness. Find someone on the plateau. For me, it is definitely a fantasy level of difficulty.
When the red moon rose in the sky, I had to stop. Although if I kept chasing, it would probably not take long to catch up, but I was not willing to compete with an assassin at night in order to reserve sufficient energy. I think it’s better to rest for a while, and Xiaoxue didn’t follow him anyway.
After setting up the tent, I ordered Xiaoxue and the others to be alert and set up many traps outside - although they were of little use. Faced with my lack of experience, I had to use more caution and vigilance to make up for it. Maybe the assassin made a big circle and followed behind to peek at me.
Fortunately, I had a very peaceful sleep. No matter how powerful the assassin was, he wouldn't know that someone could follow him. He didn't have Akara's ability to predict.
In the early morning of the next day, before the sun had risen, I hurriedly packed up my belongings and continued riding in the snow towards the unknown direction in the morning fog.
This state lasted until the afternoon. Just when I thought that Xiaoxue's nose failed occasionally and had lost him, an empty little devil's camp made me regain my confidence. There was no shadow of a little devil on the camp. No, but there was still a trace of vague blood floating in the air. Although I couldn't just conclude that it was that person who did it, it gave me some motivation to continue chasing.
Facts have proved that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Xiaoxue's nose. But about half an hour later, a figure as big as a black bean appeared in my sight. When the figure was enlarged enough to be able to clearly see its outline, I finally confirmed that I The right target has been found.
Soon, his speed was very fast. Even though Xiaoxue and the others were at full power, the distance between us was still very slow to close. No wonder we chased him for almost a day. Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat and took away his strength. The evaluation has gone up again.
However, the assassin soon discovered the pursuers behind him. He stopped and followed them without spending much time.
He turned around and looked at us slowly approaching us with a look that I couldn't recognize. I stopped more than ten meters away. This was a very subtle distance, just right for an airdrop. The maximum range allowed.
I suppressed the nervousness in my heart and looked at him with indifferent eyes as much as I could. The snow was falling underneath me.
The ghost wolf and poisonous flower vine behind me also calmed me down a lot.
He was also looking at me with great interest. He said he was very interested, but in fact his eyes could not escape the vicious and indifferent personality emanating from his bones, as if he had a dispensable attitude towards everything, which made him feel uncomfortable. One doesn't feel the integrity that an adventurer should have at all. Instead, it feels more like facing a cold-blooded monster.
They looked at each other quietly, as if they were waiting for each other to speak. The invisible atmosphere around them made people a little breathless.
"Did you kill the people in the teleportation station?"
I tried my best to suppress my anger and spoke in a slightly trembling tone.
After hearing my words, he made a slightly thoughtful expression before answering in that unique tone.
"Oh my, there are too many people who have been killed. You asked me so suddenly, how can I remember it? But..."
He paused for a moment, seeming to stare at me closely.
"If you are talking about the teleportation station in the outer corridor, I was indeed the one who killed it..."
"..."
"Why, why do you want to kill your own soldiers?"
I held the scepter in my hand tightly, suppressing the violence and roaring loudly.
"Why? Don't say that. I'm not a person who likes killing. It's just that those three guys are too long-winded. I just want to go back to Rogge. They have to ask questions. It's really annoying. In order to let them Be quiet, that’s what I had to do.”
He spoke in a nonchalant tone. It continues to stimulate my nerves.
"It's just a few minions, do you need to be so excited..."
"Whoosh..."
What answered him was that I suddenly took out a loaded crossbow from my inventory and nailed it right on his mouth.
I have completely understood that the person in front of me has simply lost his nature. Talking nonsense to him was a mistake from the beginning.
"You are such an impatient person. To be honest, I am not sure that I can kill you, otherwise I would have done it when we were in the outer corridor. However, you gave me a good reason..."
He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his tone gradually became filled with strong murderous intent.
The next moment, he had appeared in the open space only a few meters away from me.
So fast! It's a bit faster than Kashana's devilish workout! !
My eyes narrowed, and the scepter and shield in my hand were replaced by me after shooting the crossbow bullet.
"Come on..."
In just a few moments, he was less than three meters away from me. In an instant, his body shot straight towards me like a sharp arrow that was taken off its string, so fast that his figure was almost blurred.
In my eyes, I just felt a black shadow rushing towards me, subconsciously. I put the shield in my left hand in front of me, and smashed the scepter in my right hand at the shadow. Facing the highly sensitive assassin, I did not choose to dodge in vain. The safest tactic was to exchange injuries for injuries. Before that, I had already I drank several bottles of potion. And there are more than ten bottles of rejuvenation potions on hand, which are enough to kill him.
With a "touch" sound, a huge force came from my left hand, and the scepter I waved empty with my right hand was not unexpected. Just when I thought my attack was empty, the opponent's attack was also blocked by the shield. At that moment (actually I was at a disadvantage, even if I blocked with a shield, I would still lose life), I suddenly found that his figure disappeared, and then the next moment, a cold whooshing sound came from the back of my neck, which made my heart freeze instantly. down.
"too slow……"
Before the voice could even finish, I felt an icy cold front approaching my neck.
At the critical moment, Xiaoxue suddenly crossed over, narrowly allowing me to escape the attack. Touching the goosebumps on my neck, I felt a chill in my heart.
It turns out that the force coming from the shield in his left hand was not the attack of his weapon, but his toes using the force of the shield to quickly jump behind me in the air.
Unfortunately, the druid's hand-to-hand combat with the Assassin's Bowl is simply seeking death.
"I knew you were going to be a big problem."
After dodging the attack with Xiaoxue's help, the assassin did not pursue the victory, but stared at Xiaoxue with cold eyes. It seemed that he valued Xiaoxue's threat more than me. Damn it, I will make you regret it later. This kind of thinking.
"collapse……"
He suddenly jumped up, and the next moment, the ground he was standing on exploded, and a flower vine burst out of the ground. It was the latent attack of the poisonous flower vine, but he did not expect it to be dodged.
"Not bad, really good."
The assassin who was still in mid-air said lightly. Although he seemed to be downplaying it, in fact, he dodged this blow quite dangerously. If it weren't for the intuition that he had trained in death for a long time, he might have been attacked by a sneak attack. Success...
A beautiful kite turned over and landed firmly on the ground. He looked at us with twinkling eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
