Chapter 638: Terrible Shadow
‘Pa~pa~pa~pa’ A string of dense sounds of stepping on water, a black shadow fled at an unimaginable speed. Behind him, a transparent blood hole appeared in the heart of a Holy Spirit warrior’s chest. His heart was pierced and his breath disappeared on the spot.●⌒,
When Sha'er arrived at the assassination site, the black shadow was completely gone. Because the army passed by, the water in this swamp was very turbid and there were footprints everywhere, so there was no way to track it.
Sha'er's face was as heavy as water. She checked the body of the dead warrior. In just a moment, the blood in the warrior's body had frozen and turned black. His eyes wide open looked dull and the light on his body had completely disappeared.
These traces made Sha'er feel even heavier.
These mutant snake people are so terrible and vicious. Their attacks not only destroy the body, but also directly destroy the target's soul. Breaking the soul is equivalent to completely dying, which has a great impact on the morale of the warriors.
"Retract the formation and defend on the spot!" Sha'er issued a new order. It seemed that the other party was targeting her. The terrain in the swamp was complex. Marines in such places would inevitably lead to people being left alone, and people would be attacked continuously.
The life of every warrior is very precious. In order to reduce losses, Sha'er decided to stay still and form a formation to defend on the spot, waiting for others to meet with her.
The soldiers took the order and formed a circle, with shield warriors outside and archers inside. The archers no longer took the bow, but instead took the sword. As it turned out, the bows and arrows could not shoot through the skin of the sneak attacker, but were not as useful as the sword in their hands.
In the team, the one who can cause the greatest damage to the sneak attacker is the spear warrior. As long as there is enough attack distance, the spear can poke out with all its strength. With the force of rotation, as long as it stabs the opponent's weak body, it is very likely to penetrate it and cause damage to the opponent.
Therefore, the spear warrior is protected in the inner circle and used as a deterrent force against the sneak attackers.
On this side, Sha'er adopted the most conservative defense strategy and achieved immediate results. After a long time of stopping, no sneak attackers appeared. Even if they appeared, they were discovered immediately and failed to cause major damage.
At the same time, Rollin, who had been rushing all the way, was also attacked similarly.
Luo Lin also had more than 500 soldiers. Although he was thinking of meeting with Sha'er as soon as possible, he did not mess up the rules of the marching. During the march, the soldiers maintained a basic formation that was both offensive and defensive when advancing.
It is true that the swamp terrain is complex and it is easy to be left alone, but Rollin used a three-person team to deal with it. During the march, the three men formed a group, so that each soldier did not have to take too much into consideration the entire array, as long as they were close to the other two members of the three-person team and maintained a distance that could watch over and support each other.
This method greatly reduces the work of every Holy Spirit warrior and reduces many opportunities for errors.
The sneak attack happened in such a marche.
When the team had to wade through a swamp stream, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the team, and a sharp knife in his hand stabbed a soldier in the back of the heart.
The black shadow was in the sight of the warrior. The warrior was attacked without any sense of anything, but one of his companions discovered it immediately. This was a heavy sword warrior. He roared angrily: "Be careful!" and at the same time, he slashed at the sharp knife with all his strength.
‘Puff~Crack!’ Two sounds happened almost at the same time. The previous sound was the sound of the black shadow sharp knife stabbing the warrior’s body, and the next sound was the sound of the black shadow sharp knife being cut off.
It is true that the mutant snake man's body is very strong. Ordinary sword-cutting cannot destroy his body at all, but his hands have a small flaw, that is, when this hand transforms into a sword weapon mainly based on rigidity, it is not as strong as the body.
Such an arm is unstoppable when facing the heavy sword warrior slashing with all his strength, and is twisted and deformed by the slash.
The arm broke, the black shadow screamed, and flew back. At the same time, his hiding place made a loud "slam". A black shadow flew away and soon disappeared.
The black shadow was so fast that it was no different from the phantom in the eyes of ordinary Holy Spirit warriors. Not to mention tracking, even the eyes could only barely keep up.
When Rollin heard the movement, he immediately shouted: "Adhere!"
He ran to the stabbed warrior to check his injuries. The soldier's heart was stabbed with a sword and his body was pierced. However, before being stabbed, he was reminded that although he didn't know where the attack came from, he had rich combat experience instinctively dodged for a while. As a result, the attack did not stab his heart, but pierced his left lung.
At this time, the warrior was lying on the ground and coughing up blood, but his will was still awake, his eyes were still shining, and it was obvious that his soul was not damaged.
This kind of injury is already very serious for mortals, but it is nothing in the abyss. Especially when Luo Lin, the main god incarnation, was present, his hands showed the glory of divine power, pressing on the wound on the warrior's strong chest and back, and divine power continued to pour into it.
He first ignited the warrior's fire of life. Under the violently burning fire of life, the warrior's vitality suddenly became extremely fierce and the wound began to heal quickly.
Ignition of the fire of life will greatly consume the warrior's life force. Even if the wound heals, it will become very weak. It takes a long time to recover. After that, time will not be able to fight. In this dangerous swamp, this is no different from death, so Rollin's second step is to supplement the loss of this part of the life force for the warrior.
The Fire of Life burned for about two minutes, and the soldier's wound was completely healed. Luo Lin extinguished the Fire of Life again, then let go of his hand, and asked Wen Yan: "How do you feel?"
The soldier stood up, took a few deep breaths, and exerted his strength again. Except for a hint of hidden pain in his chest, he was already completely fine. He looked at Luo Lin gratefully: "Master, I'm fine."
"Very good!" Rollin patted the warrior's shoulder to show encouragement, and then he whispered loudly: "Retract the formation, increase the alertness, and keep moving forward!"
The team continued to move forward, and Rollin walked beside the warrior in front of his hand and asked: "What do you feel about the attack on your opponent?"
The warrior was still feeling a little scared, and there was a look of horror in his eyes: "Soon, very vicious. At that moment, I felt that my entire soul was trapped in an endless abyss and was almost swallowed up, but this feeling suddenly disappeared. Pierre saved me."
After saying that, he looked gratefully at the heavy sword warrior who had cut off the black shadow's arm before. The heavy sword warrior smiled stiffly, and his face was also shocked: "Master. I can cut off half a foot thick cold iron ore with all my strength, and the other party's arm was about the same thickness as mine, but it was just broken and there were no obvious scars on the surface. This is really terrible!"
Luo Lin frowned slightly when he heard this, and he concluded: "It seems that the opponent's attack can not only harm the body, but also harm the soul. However, the latter requires a little time to start, as long as the rescue is timely. It should be able to keep the soul from being damaged."
This is very important. Luo Lin immediately informed all the soldiers of this matter, aiming to interrupt the opponent's attacks as soon as possible in any case, so as to protect the soul of his comrades.
These soldiers have passed the battle to defend the city at the God of War Post. They have very rich combat experience and tenacious will. They are extremely valuable assets. As long as their souls are not damaged, they will be a hero again after being reborn for more than ten years.
The soldiers agreed loudly, and their morale was not affected at all because of the horror of the opponent's attacks.
Because every warrior firmly believes that no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as they follow the Lord, they will definitely win!
The soldiers advanced in an orderly manner, and the sneak attackers appeared three more times on the way, each time causing damage to the warriors. Three soldiers died, but fortunately, no warrior's souls were damaged. These souls returned to the God of War's post along some secret passages in the void, waiting to be reborn.
The sneak attacker did not suffer any loss. Especially in the third sneak attack, there were three guys in this sneak attack. One of the sneak attackers was discovered in advance by Rollin, who was fully alerted.
Without any hesitation, Luo Lin launched a counterattack immediately and attacked with all his strength. He cut off half of the sneak attacker's arm. The sneak attacker ran away, and was extremely fast, and even Luo Lin could not catch up. However, he had extraordinary magical skills in an instant, and rushed to the back of the opponent. In a hurry, Luo Lin drew his sword and cut a sword at the same wound on the opponent's arm, and finally left an arm of the opponent.
This result made Luo Lin feel solemn. This time he had already put out all his strength and had the army as a backing, so he could only set up an arm on the other side. If his semi-god incarnation met his opponent alone in the wild, he would probably have to escape, and he might not be able to escape.
The soldiers were ordered to hold up the broken arms of the sneak attacker for subsequent research and countermeasures. After accommodating, the army worked for another hour and finally met with Sha'er's army.
"How is the situation?" Luo Lin was a little surprised when he saw the Sha'er soldiers' full defense.
"Six soldiers died, three of them had no time to rescue, and their souls were destroyed." Sha'er whispered. After experiencing the initial chaos, she also reacted and took quick measures. The souls of the three soldiers who were attacked were not damaged, but three of them died in the end made her feel a little guilty.
Rollin didn't say anything, gave Sha'er a comforting hug, and said, "Let's go, we'll meet with Romisha and Gomon."
It's a pity that she died in battle on the battlefield, but it is inevitable that Sha'er also took effective responses in time, and this is not her fault.
Sha'er nodded, and her mood was still heavy.
Before setting off, Rollin reorganized the army and re-arranged according to the previous three-person division, while Shaer and Rollin were always alert to their opponents' possible sneak attacks in the team.
The two armies merged, and the number of people exceeded one thousand. With the proper response strategy, no more losses occurred.
About half a day later, the four gods all mixed together without any delay, immediately exited the swamp and returned to the camp on the edge of the swamp.
At this time, each god began to count the number of mutant snakes that were cleaned up.
"I found four here." This is Rollin's.
"I'm three." Lomisha said.
"I have five here." Sha'er said.
"I'm four too." This is Gomon.
Luo Lin analyzed the situation: "Then there are sixteen in total. The four I found were all sacrificed to one hundred to one hundred and fifty black-toothed snake people, and the sixteen were about 2,000 black-toothed snake people. In the war that day, there were no more than 4,000 snake people, and more than 3,000 were killed in battle. They fled back to the swamp. In addition, the number of women and children in the swamp was probably not too many. The total number reached 5,000. I think that the number of mutated snake people in the swamp would not exceed 20, and there were not many snake people who sneaked into our sneak attacks, no more than six. This means that there are still many snake people who have not completed it."
The gods nodded in agreement, and Gomon made a new opinion: "I was wondering, except for the Snake Man, will the Night Blade Church use other dark creatures to create such a terrible monster?"
"This is very likely." Rollin nodded in agreement, and he took out the arm he had obtained before: "But we are not without a solution. We have many dark warriors who have cleared this trip, and we have gained a lot of force, so we just went back to digest it. At the same time, I will study the attributes of this arm and find ways to deal with it."
No opponent can be perfect, there are always flaws. Although this mutant snake man is terrible, Luo Lin believes that there must be a corresponding way to crack it.
"Yes, the Lord God." The gods had no objection to this. (To be continued.)
