Chapter 0556 Guerrilla
After settling in a hidden woodland on the banks of Zhishui Lake, Karthas couldn't help but feel hesitant and confused.
Continuing to walk through the wild primitive jungle may avoid encirclement by a large number of enemies, but it is difficult to obtain any material replenishment. Now the enemy may have seen through his ultimate goal and encountered more than once ambush during the advance a few days ago.
This is a warning of danger coming!
If I still stubbornly want to rush to the central region to meet with my companions, I am afraid that the remaining half of the journey will encounter more ambush beforehand. Once the enemy is able to find out his way, I am afraid that a legendary wizard will be able to surrender himself.
Legendary Wizard?
"Hmph, the bullshit legendary wizard!" Karthas sat alone on a bluestone in the jungle, and mentioned the so-called legendary wizard with disdain on his face.
After so many dealings with the wizards in the wizard world, Karthas finally completely figured out the opponent's high-end combat power level. In this world, the legendary wizard is at the highest end of all wizards. However, compared with the legendary wizard in the wizard world, it can be said that it has been mixed with a lot of water.
If measured by their true strength, they are just a group of saint-level wizards, but they only have the means of some legendary powers. If Karthas is not wrong, they can break through the constraints of the power of rules and obtain some legendary-level means under the limitations of the world level. All of this is related to the lofty witch god.
In other words, they are most likely to have gained legendary powers through sacrifices to the great witch gods in some extreme way. But they themselves are still only at the level of the holy level.
In short, it is to attack strong and defend weak.
The legendary wizards in the wizard world have powerful offensive methods, but they do not have a comprehensive strength to match. Their main body is their biggest shortcoming and flaw. Therefore, fighting against such an opponent, you will definitely not be able to fight, but you may not be able to kill them.
Just as Karsas was silently thinking, the soft rotten dead leaves in front of him mixed with sand, gravel and mud suddenly rose up, forming a mud pillar and pounding towards his narrow and thin face. Just as he was shocked, his body instinctively leaning back, a sharp and sharp breath penetrated from the back of his neck, and then a little cold light came out from his throat.
A thin, twisted and blurred human figure was now behind Karthas, pressing against his body, and an inconspicuous black iron dagger in his hand was only stained with blood and truly shining with the brilliance of a high-level magic weapon.
One blow will kill.
As expected, he is indeed a holy assassin who makes people feel terrified!
Unfortunately, the holy-level assassin could not allow the invader's neck to explode. He pressed his left hand on the opponent's back and sensed the explosion of powerful magic power in the enemy's body. Just as his toes were fast and his body retreated rapidly like a ghost, an irresistible negative energy shock wave had already rushed out of the invader's short and thin body, rippling toward the surroundings in a circular ripples.
The vague figure of the holy-level assassin flashed in a row, and his treacherous figure was walking on flat ground in the complex jungle. He was clearly rushing back without looking back, but he was incredibly wrongly flashing through all the shrubs, branches, and vines that were blocking the road.
The ripples of death that swept out were slightly different from each other. Wherever they passed, all the breath of life was killed, and even the herbs passing by were instantly dyed a shocking gray.
The invader who should have died also stood up angrily, turned around and roared at the holy-level assassin who was quickly retreating. At his neck, the blood hole passing through his neck was vivid in his mind.
Perhaps the other party's image of immortality was too creepy, or perhaps the roar of anger played a little, the figure of the assassin who was retreating finally became a slight slower moment, and the ripples of death that were chased and caught onto the toes.
"Ah" a short scream, the holy assassin finally gave up the idea of attacking again, turned around and ran away, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant. However, before it disappeared, Karthas's sharp vertical pupils had already seen the skin outside the mask of the opponent's black scarf dry and shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Crack" the crisp sound of the broken branches came out, and several undead slaves scattered on the outside rushed over, but could only watch the enemy disappear into the distance.
Karthas roared indignantly again, and finally stopped helplessly.
Blood kept overflowing from the rupture of his throat, and his roar was accompanied by the sound of gurgling blood foam.
Assassin is always so hateful! Just like a mouse underground, you know its existence, but you can't help it. The ordinary warning array and the patrol of the undead slaves can't stop him from appearing, but once you relax your vigilance, he will appear in front of you like a ghost.
Karsas smelled it. The other party was very cautious and did not leave any personal aura or items for chasing or casting spells on the scene. Otherwise, he would have to understand the horror of the title of "Singer of Death". However, that moment was enough for him to bear it just now. He would have to reduce his vitality for at least 5-10 years. If there were no special means to make up for it, this lesson should be enough.
Karthas stretched out his claws covered with dark green scales and pressed them on the wound of his throat. Under the stimulation of the vitality of the healing beads, the muscle fibers on the surface of the wound pulled out the constantly wriggling filaments, and gradually became entangled and tangled together. After all, he was a semi-dead born in a dragon lich, and his body no longer had the common fatal keys. This severe injury that could cause direct death to humans was just an ordinary skin injury.
Now with the slow recovery of the healing orb, the appearance of the wound has basically healed, and the remaining injuries will be fully recovered within 2 hours.
As a preferential cemetery hero, such auxiliary treasures are simply indispensable, otherwise he would not have survived the enemy's siege and blockade until now with his "weak" body.
It can be seen that the enemy is not familiar with his special form of life, so he often wastes precious attacks on non-key parts. However, once the battle lasts too long and the enemy finds his real key points, I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to exchange for small losses for the enemy as I am now.
Looking up through the dense branches and leaves, Karthas looked at the sun that had just passed the sky, and couldn't help but feel irritated. In another half a quarter of an hour, it was probably time for the mysterious consciousness to come again!
Since being chased by the enemy, Karthas has sensed the existence of a mysterious consciousness with his keen spiritual perception. This thing does not always exist, but will appear suddenly every once in a while and disappear quickly. When it comes, it is so mysterious and abrupt, with no sign at all, and it is so inexplicable that he can't chase after it.
This mysterious consciousness is definitely the key to the wizards being able to keep chasing themselves. But after Karthas tried all the anti-prophecy, anti-detection, and invisible methods, he could not stop it from appearing, nor could he detect its operation. Therefore, he could only escape all the way, traveling through the vast primitive jungle, changing the direction of escape from time to time, and not giving the wizard a chance to block himself.
However, after a long time of dealing with him, Karthas finally found a trace of the time pattern of the mysterious consciousness appearing, and based on this, he formulated a special way of escape. Before judging that the mysterious consciousness was about to appear, he deliberately lured the enemy in a certain direction, and then suddenly turned after the mysterious consciousness appears and disappears.
In this way, he was able to stumble all the way to this position. But now with the appearance of the holy assassin, it means that the enemy is getting closer and closer to him. If there is no means to change the situation, it is probably not far from destruction.
With the fixed pattern of running into the depths of the jungle a few days ago, the wizards chasing behind him probably wouldn't have expected that they would suddenly break into human society. Therefore, if they quickly enter and exit, they might still get some magic materials that are useful to them. However, before making this plan, Karthas still needs to direct the enemy's eyes to the deeper jungle.
So after checking the time point, Karthas left Zhishui Lake with only five remaining undead servants and hurriedly turned into the road into the mountain.
And in a simple camp 17 miles behind Karthas, a magnificent wizard leaned over and was silently ecstatic on the wide map.
Although the jungle is well connected, you can clearly see several of the easiest routes to pass according to the direction of the mountain and the distance between the rivers. The problem now is the enemy's cunning and cruelty. Since their wizard team does not have the ability to completely block him, the large army led by the great wizard was left a hundred miles away. If you want to delay the enemy's footsteps, you can only pay the wizard's precious life.
The footsteps sounded, and a beautiful female wizard walked over with a graceful figure.
"How is it, Ellie, Master Emond is fine, right?" asked the rude-faced wizard leader frowned.
"There is no big problem, it's not that kind of difficult curse. But Master..." Witch Ellie was a little reluctant to speak.
"What the hell? Tell me directly!"
"I'm afraid the master will not live long! The negative energy impact of the invader is terrible and can directly offset the vitality of a person. If the master is affected, his life will probably be 8 years missing." In the end, Witch Ellie's expression was a little sad. After all, as a holy assassin, Eimmond would not have participated in such a thing that only wizards care about if it weren't for her strong invitation.
"..." The wizard leader also frowned and his expression was solemn.
The more brutal and terrifying the enemy, the more difficult their mission will be. If the superiors issue a desperate attempt to entangle them, they may only be able to defend the glory of the wizard with their lives!
"Have the new information coming here? Do you know the direction of the enemy's escape?" Witch Ally suddenly asked.
"No. I'm wondering! According to the great wizard's instructions, the new message should come at this time?" The wizard leader was obviously also confused.
He raised his head, his anxious eyes silently patrolling the quiet sky.
