There were howling sounds one after another.
In the distance, a figure could be seen leaping among the trees, followed by several dark figures, and the roar of the orcs was getting closer and closer. Sauron carried Vivienne on his back and was about to evacuate. Gloria also quickly blessed a spell, but the monsters in all directions seemed to have spotted them, and a few extremely vigorous figures could be vaguely seen jumping down from the tree poles. Go ahead and stop them. One of the figures was unusually eye-catching, it was actually a large black cheetah.
Mutated Beast!
Some special beasts have certain mutated genes, which may be related to the taboo experiments during the Arcane Empire period. They appeared in large numbers for a period of time, but many of them were hunted down later, and many of the remaining ones fled to the star realm and the outer world. layer plane. Some beasts on the material plane also inherited these mutated genes, and when the biological level advanced to a certain stage, gene mutations may occur. This kind of beast has spell-like ability, but the number is very rare, and most of them just have high intelligence and powerful hunting ability.
These beasts are said to be failed experiments with lycanthropy.
Sauron stopped, and handed Vivian to Gloria next to him. The black cheetah blocking them was quite difficult to deal with. It was already close to the size of a Siberian tiger, and its elegant body could be seen with obvious muscle outlines, like The bodybuilding champion of The Beast. This represented the strength of the opponent, it might even be stronger than the brown bear, the power of the claw strike might tear the armor. The speed at which the cheetah sprinted was terrifying, and Sauron didn't dare to continue running away, because it would be tantamount to exposing his back to its eyes.
Sprinting for a short distance, almost no creature can surpass this mutant giant cheetah!
Jackals, tigers and leopards, cheetahs are more dangerous than tigers in the wilderness, because it is basically impossible for you to run faster than them on land. To deal with this kind of creature, you will only be knocked down by it in an instant, and then Bite your throat mercilessly. Sauron took a deep breath at the moment of sprinting, and then all the muscles in his body energized, he jumped for a distance of about ten meters, swung his scimitar and slashed at the top of the panther's head. There was no protection on the beast's body, only the animal skin couldn't stop his attack.
A light jump.
The large black panther swiftly dodged his attack, and at the same time showed an anthropomorphic mocking smile on its face. The intelligence of this beast was higher than expected, and its biological level may have reached the third level or above.
But it's still too lightly!
Sauron raised his finger instantly when he missed a knife. In just a second, his fingertips shot out two arcane missiles. It was impossible to dodge such a close-range attack on the panther no matter how fast it was. The next moment it A small hole was opened in its neck, and two arcane missiles pierced through its leopard skin, leaving a wound about three centimeters deep, and blood splashed out in large swaths.
With Sauron's magic power, two arcane missiles fired at such a close range caused at least twenty points of damage!
1 point of magic power can enhance the power of 1 point of arcane missiles. High-level wizards use arcane missiles to pierce armor. Saving, it can also cause minor injuries to the target. The suddenly injured cheetah was obviously half a beat behind, Sauron immediately swung his knife up, and slashed on its back with blood splashing. This knife cut a wound nearly five centimeters deep, but after breaking through the muscle layer, he was powerless, so he could only draw the knife and retreat quickly.
The toughness of the physique reduces damage!
Roughly, 2 points of constitution increase 1 point of damage reduction, and some creatures with strong vitality can also use the muscle layer to clamp weapons.
Dragons are the best of them.
There is no extraordinary weapon to deal with sub-dragon creatures. If you break its dragon skin, you can't break its strong muscles, and you can't hurt the vital organs. It is very difficult to kill dragons just by bleeding damage.
The sharp claws cut across the cold light.
The thick and tough leopard tail twitched over, and the strong wind howled like a whip. Sauron turned around to avoid it, leaving three shallow scratches on his arm, and his waist was twitched by the leopard tail, but with his strength The physique can still bear it. The other nearby monsters were getting closer and closer, so Sauron didn't care about wasting it. He took out the dead wood cane in an instant, and pointed at the black panther in front of him.
A magical aura emerged.
The weeds on the ground suddenly grew wildly, entwining the cheetah in front of it like tough vines. Even though it had the power of a big cat, it couldn't break free for a while. This short period of one or two seconds was enough for Sauron. He jumped onto the back of the black panther, pressed it down with all his strength, and then he clenched the scimitar with both hands and chopped it down,[The power of the sword force—heavy chop] erupted in an instant, and the scimitar abruptly cut off the black panther's head.
The gushing blood was three to five meters away, and the headless body of the black panther froze for a moment before falling down with a bang.
A row of data emerges:
"Activate [Sword Power - Heavy Slash]!"
"Trigger a decapitation attack!... Cause 125 points of decapitation damage to the target!... The target dies!..."
"Extract soul energy."
"You have gained 2450 killing experience points!"
…
Sure enough, it was a cheetah above Tier 3.
The biological level is estimated to be around 12. It's not that he was caught off guard by spells, and dealing with it is more difficult than dealing with earth elementals.
"Brother, be careful!"
Vivienne's exclamation suddenly came from behind Sauron, and Gloria also cast a spell quickly in an instant. First, she blessed them with a spell, and then raised her finger and shot a blood-red light forward.
— "A Finger of Death!"
The muffled sound of the bowstring vibrating came, and Sauron didn't even think about it. The next moment he activated the element spar on his body, and a khaki trace on the ground spread to his whole body. Almost when the stone skin technique was applied to his body, a sharp arrow flew towards him and hit his chest directly. The power of the arrow made him take a step back.
Beside the bushes ahead, a tall and burly mixed-breed orc held a strong bow and locked Sauron with ferocious eyes.
But the next moment its eyes turned into astonishment!
Because Sauron didn't fall down, the arrow hit his chest, but it was only stuck between the ribs. The arrow that should have been shot directly through him was canceled out by the stone skin technique for about 20 points of damage. , plus his own 20 points of extraordinary physique's fortitude save, although the arrow hit his chest, the damage caused was far less than imagined. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, which pierced through the leather armor on his chest. The opponent used a fine-made strong bow.
The dark red light hit the tall and burly hybrid orc at the next moment, his whole body froze for a moment, and then fell straight to the ground like this!
Seven-ring spell [Finger of Death]!
The finger of death cast by the high-level Northland witch is not just for fun. It is not easy for all professionals below the fourth level to pass the death immunity test.
Failure to pass the death immunity judgment is the result of instant death!
After pulling out the arrow, Sauron didn't care about the wound, and slammed his knife to block the attack of another half-breed orc next to him. The heavy battle ax was so fierce that his whole body sank. On the left was a half-breed creature like a jackal. A hatchet was thrown out, and it hit Sauron in the back the next moment.
clang!
The hatchet seemed to have smashed on the extremely solid marble, and the leather armor on Sauron's back was only dented a little, and he hardly suffered any damage. The strength of the opponent was not high, and he probably had no special training in throwing weapons. The attack strength of the hatchet did not exceed 20 points, and it was impossible to break Sauron's stone skin protection energy.
The existence of the Northland Witch attracted most of the attention of this group of hunters. At least half of the hunters bypassed Sauron and rushed towards Gloria and Vivian behind him. Wizards are the most terrifying existences, and they must not be given the chance to cast spells. A monster with a ferocious face that Sauron could not recognize roared, and its size suddenly began to grow a lot. Then it took a deep breath and used its limbs on the ground. Sprint and run, almost unbelievably fast.
The berserk hybrid beast!
Facing such a dangerous situation, Goliath remained unhurried. She even had time to pull Vivienne behind her. Then she suddenly pulled out her staff and pointed, and a fireball the size of a washbasin flew out. Not the enemy in front of you, but the explosion directly in the open space in front. Rewinding the time to one second ago, the rushing monster had no time to stop. It was completely inertial. When it rushed over, it happened to enter the explosion core area of the fireball technique.
In the next second, its whole body was bloody and bloody, its chest was blasted to the bone, and all the hair on its body was burning.
"Vivian, see clearly!"
Gloria has an awe-inspiring aura, which is completely different from what Sauron recognized. She said in a cold voice: "Do you remember the motion calculation I taught you? Movement positioning and spell prediction are very important skills." , the speed of many enemies is extremely fast, and the spell does not have to be aimed at the enemy to be effective!"
The howling wind sounded.
Two throwing axes and a long knife were thrown towards the position of the two of them. Gloria didn't care at all. She slammed the staff into the ground, and then quickly cast spells with both hands. When fighting, you must ensure that you are always under the cover of an energy protection force field."
bang bang bang.
The thrown weapon seemed to hit the invisible air, and there was a muffled sound when it hit the energy protection force field. Gloria's expression didn't change at all, as if she didn't even look at the enemies who rushed over. Concentration is the most important basic skill for spellcasters in battle. Spellcasters cannot be distracted and let the enemy interrupt their spellcasting. Concentration skills can also make them more sensitive to the changes around them.
— "Shadow black tentacles!"
Six energy tentacles broke through the ground, and in an instant, they launched a lasing attack. Half of the enemies rushing nearby froze for an instant, and then were rolled up by the energy tentacles and hung upside down. The shadowy black tentacles cast by the high-level witch are completely different from those cast by Sauron. The energy tentacles entangled and strangled two enemies directly, and then entangled everyone who approached and dragged them back and hung them in the air.
Only then did Gloria slowly pull out her staff, and said in a concentrated voice: "Vivienne, you must always remember that for wizards, control is more important than damage!"
There was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
Everyone, including Sauron, also saw the true strength of a high-ranking Northland witch at this moment!
This is the demeanor of a high-level mage!
