Chapter 0030 Sneak Attack and Counter-Sneak Attack

The night is still dark.

A faint shadow jumped in intermittent shadows everywhere like swimming, sometimes in the shadows of the house, sometimes in the reflections of patrol soldiers, and sometimes in the shaking of torches.

With the constant jumping, the shadow gradually left Rutheran Village, plunged into the nearest forest, and after going deeper 7-8 miles, it stopped in front of a tall ancient tree.

"Come in!" A cracked and hoarse voice suddenly rang.

Without hesitation, he plunged into the torso of the ancient tree. A magic ripples slightly fluctuated, and the shadow seemed to merge into the trunk and disappeared.

There was not much space inside the tree, and there was only a thin and dry mage sitting cross-legged in a cloak, her whole body was covered without any leakage. Only when she looked up occasionally, she could see two balls of beating green flames from under her hood.

A strange-shaped staff was inserted in front of the mage. The staff body was coiled with two poisonous snakes, and they were entangled to the top to form a pair of snake plate beads. A huge soul magic bead was fixed on the head of the staff.

The shadow seemed to dare not approach the staff at all, circling at the farthest point, and finally condensed into a dwarf and bowed to the mage.

"Have you handed over the things to him? What did he say useful?" The mage's unpleasant voice sounded, and he turned his head and seemed to be communicating with the dwarf.

"What might have happened to Tomur's group? I need you to check his whereabouts. Tomur is a junior who has been specially told by the high-level mage Amway. How could he fail to perform a small ambush mission? The other party is just a low-level mage?"

After receiving the order, the dwarf's body exploded suddenly and turned into wisps of smoke. He passed through the illusion array behind him and jumped towards the direction given by the undead mage.

The mountain road of dozens of miles was fleeting. Half an hour later, the shadow had appeared in the camp where Li Xun fought last time. After carefully checking the battlefield, the shadow condensed into a dwarf again and stopped at the place where the necromancer died. It seemed that it was not right! Master Nicholas said that the two necromancers were a low-level mage who came to ambush humans, but it seemed that a small-scale military confrontation had been experienced here, which was definitely not a simple magic attack between three or two mages.

The enemy's corpses were not seen in the entire battlefield. However, judging from the distribution of skeletons, zombies, ghosts and vampires under the undead mage, the two sides first stood in a stalemate, and then the enemy broke through the zombie's defense line in the middle and killed two undead mages in one fell swoop. Can a low-level human mage do this? Where did he get reinforcements?

Ruthelan Village has been under the surveillance of the undead mage. It is impossible for him to not know that a large-scale army is deployed. The zombie undead is powerless to resist in the face of dozens of skeletons. Could it be that the wizard is a pure knight unit with that mage? But Hans did not mention that a large group of knights were dispatched at all!

With all kinds of doubts, the dwarf turned into a shadow and hovered slightly, and followed the route Li Xun walked straight to the campsite. In the middle, at the teleportation point where Li Xun teleported back to Yongye City, he turned twice in confusion. He felt the invisible fluctuations in the air, and the shadow became even more cautious.

A low-level mage who can use space spells? Whether it is using scrolls or magical items, you should be careful. Space spells are full of mysterious and difficult-to-see methods. If you are not careful, you may suffer a great loss. Your shadow shuttle is also a type of space spell, but it is more of your own talented skills, so you can use it freely.

Outside the cave where Li Xun was resting, more than a dozen lickers were hidden in the forest, piles of weeds, cracks in the stone walls, etc., without moving, only vigilant eyes were scanning every move around. The entrance to the cave was not big, and was blocked by a piece of black cloth to conceal the light of the bonfire.

The shadows slowly swim in the reflections among the trees, quietly looking at these ugly creatures that you have never seen before. They are really like undead creatures, but many details are very different. Could it be that the one in the cave is also a necromancer, a genius undead wizard who can improve undead creatures?

It did not alarm many "sentences", nor did it touch the magic warning at the entrance of the cave. The shadow jumped into the dark shadow on the top of the cave, peering at everything inside from a high place.

One person, one skeleton, 5 "ghouls".

The one who lies in the bedding and lying at the innermost part of the cave should be the mage he is looking for. From this perspective, there is no face. Five "ghosts" scattered in the cave and crawled everywhere. The only thing that attracts attention is the skeleton sitting quietly by the bonfire, with armor, shield and swords, and at least a skeleton general. Just simply sitting there has a captivating momentum, which makes the shadow re-raising the evaluation of skeletons, the Skeleton King.

It is difficult to obtain a king-level undead creature like this through summoning. It is only possible to find its figure in the undead plane. It is impossible for a naturally evolved king-level undead in the main material world. Moreover, such a powerful undead will only sign a friendly contract with a mage with the same powerful strength. How could it be vigilant for a low-level mage?

No matter what mysterious background he has, there will be nothing if he dies!

A completely unprepared low-level mage plus a group of physical attackers, as a shadow killer, has nothing to worry about!

The mage still had no movement, and even slight snoring sounds were heard. The skeleton sat by the bonfire, with his back facing the mage, staring at the entrance of the cave. Under the reflection of the bonfire, the skeleton's figure was projected on the ground, very close to the mage.

Everything seemed to be ready for myself, the shadow killer. I just needed to jump over and gently stroke the mage's neck, and the mission tonight was completed.

Without hesitation, the next moment, the shadow killer had already appeared in the reflection of the Skeleton King, and turned into a dwarf form and gently raised the soul-devouring dagger in his hand.

Before it could attack, the Skeleton King turned around suddenly, and the giant sword cut a black and red arc and slashed behind the dwarf, taking away a large area of ​​black smoke. The Nether Fire Critical Strike! Just when the dwarf was frightened to find that he could not move any part of his body, Li Xun turned around and pressed his forehead with a finger. An "Immortal Flame" instantly blessed the dwarf, and then rolled to the side with the quilt. After a distance from the dwarf, he jumped up suddenly. "Dancing Light Technique" and "Light Technique" had been thrown to both ends of the cave, making the cave shine brightly in an instant.

After all the shadows in the cave were driven away, the dwarf woke up from the soul shock. He watched his body gradually turning into the physical body under the blessing of the "Immortal Flame", making a harsh scream, turning over to avoid the Skeleton King's giant sword, but was hit by Li Xun's "soul borer", and the intensity of the scream instantly increased by 1 times.

Damn it, this is the most vicious trap! They actually knew that they were shadow creatures. They used all attacks against the soul just now, and they could not save any of them. The most damn thing was this "Immortal Flame". With it being blessed on the body, it was a trivial matter to be unable to escape. What was even more terrifying was that after the body was forced to be converted into a entity, the physical attacks that could have been exempted could not be done now.

No, escape from here immediately!

The determined dwarf flexibly avoided the attacks of Skeleton King and Li Xun, while sneaking into the entrance of the cave. Looking at the five "ghosts" blocking the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help but curse and felt secretly unhappy.

When he was slashed by the Skeleton King just now, it was still a virtual body, but it consumed a lot of energy and did not have much substantial damage. However, Li Xun's soul attack spell actually hurt it. After all, other creatures have a body to carry the soul and can save a certain degree of damage, but now it is a combination of shadow matter and soul. When encountering soul attack spells, it has to bear full damage. Therefore, when moving towards the hole behind, the dwarf encountered an attack that had no way to hide, and would rather be cut by the Skeleton King than be hit by Li Xun's spell. Soon it regretted its wrong choice.

The second skeleton king's Nether Fire Critical Strike successfully hit the dwarf. Li Xun took advantage of the dwarf's dizziness and exploded with all his might with magic missiles, scorching rays, and flame magic balls to shatter it, completely destroying this difficult shadow creature.

Just as the soul of the shadow creature was shattered, the undead mage far away in the ancient tree raised his head, and the green flame under the hood suddenly surged, and the contract backlash made him unable to help but groan. Finally, it was easy to stabilize the shock of the soul, the undead mage pondered for a while, and was also shocked and suspicious.

Shadow Killer is indeed not a powerful guy, but that is just for these high-level mages, an intermediate-level mage has no chance to escape without any preparation to meet Shadow Killer, let alone a low-level mage.

What is the origin of this low-level mage? I used to look down on him, thinking that two same low-level necromancers and nearly a hundred undead creatures could eat him steadily, so Tomur, who had some connections, led the team to gain some experience, but he didn't expect to leave him forever. This time, even the shadow killer who used the most handy contract creature, died there inexplicably, causing his soul to be damaged. How to get in and out of Ruthland Village later is a big deal!

The shadow killer without the aura of the undead can easily enter and exit the Ruthlan village where magical warning arrays are everywhere. What should I do now? How to keep in touch with the corpse puppets inside? It is not impossible to cast a spell to control the corpse puppets remotely, but the spell fluctuations are too large and it is easy to be perceived by the corpse puppets inside, so it is absolutely not feasible at present, and it will destroy all the previous arrangements.
