The distance gradually narrowed.
The night is the best cover for wanderers, Sauron can't see any traces under the moonlight, and even when moving, there are only very inconspicuous footprints. Perfect stealth requires the cooperation of spells and spell-like abilities. In addition to the advanced invisibility, it also needs to cooperate with the advanced lightness, advanced haste, and so on. Sauron can't meet that condition yet, but with his strength, he won't be easily discovered by the enemy. It was already the hour before dawn, and the vigilant hunters relaxed a little bit, and also reduced the scope of vigilance.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters.
When Sauron narrowed the distance to about 80 or 90 meters, he stopped slowly, and then his figure disappeared strangely. He was not hiding in the shadows, but activated the ability to travel through the shadows, and directly stepped into the shadows temporarily. Among the planes. The scene in front of him was still gray and white, even at night it was gray moonlight, the shadow plane seemed to be unchanging and dead silent, but it left an extremely deep impression on people in just one second.
next moment!
The shadow of the high-ranking wolf man twisted, and the jumping bonfire in front of him made his shadow look like a demon with teeth and claws, and then it turned into an incomparably hazy figure. The cold light pierced through its back, and the snow-white fish-scale blade refracted the light. The moment it pierced the heart of the high-ranking jackal, it also alarmed the other hunters.
A row of data appeared in front of Sauron:
"Activate Darkvision!"
"Start shadow shuttle!"
"Launch a shadow attack!"
"Shadow shuttle successfully!... Activate the cross-plane shadow jumping ability!... Shadow kill success!... You get 9 points of shadow damage bonus!... Backstab!... You cause 154 points of piercing damage to the target!..."
…
Everything happens in an instant.
The hunters who were awakened by the light of the knife rushed over. When the high-level wolf man opened his eyes, a scimitar protruded from his chest, directly piercing its heart. But it didn't die immediately. On the contrary, a bloody light appeared in its pupils. Accompanied by a frenzied roar, the muscles all over the body suddenly swelled up, and with its backhand, it swung its wolf claws and slashed towards Sauron's throat. The metal blade on the sharp claw cut Sauron's side face, but only left a very shallow bloodstain, and he drew back the knife when he hit the enemy.
The machete was pulled out on the spot!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the figure of the high-ranking wolf man froze for a moment, and then rushed over with a roar, as if he wanted to die with him regardless. Sauron didn't stop at all, even if he failed to kill the enemy with one blow, he quickly escaped into the shadows, and then activated the ability of [Hiding Gaze].
Sauron entered a stealth state.
The high-ranking gnoll seemed to be crazy, attacking everything in front of him indiscriminately. A half-breed orc was cut open with its sharp claws because it rushed too close!
There was a commotion around the bonfire. The other hunters watched the blood gushing from the wolf man's chest helpless. No one even dared to get too close to it. The other party was obviously in a state of madness. The nearby bushes and trees were chopped off by sharp claws, and the blood-red pupils of the high-ranking wolf man searched for the enemy's target, and his chest was completely covered with blood.
Time rewinds to one second ago.
When Sauron hit the opponent with a knife, there was no kill prompt that appeared in front of him, which made him feel a little stunned, and he immediately gave up the idea of making up the knife and retreated quickly!
"Advanced toughness? Or legendary toughness?"
Sauron felt a slight pain on the side of his face, knowing that he was scratched by the enemy's sharp claws. After pulling away a distance of about ten meters, he directly launched his hiding gaze and escaped into the shadows. As a veteran of adventure, Sauron can be sure that he stabbed the opponent's heart, and even if he hit the heart, the fatal damage judgment was not triggered, so the result only represented one!
The opponent has the specialty of [Advanced Fortitude] and even [Legendary Fortitude].
This is a purebred melee professional whose level is close to level 18, and the physical ability it exercises is close to the edge of supernatural.
The distance was extended to about fifty meters.
All the hunters have woken up, looking around with vigilance and uneasiness. The high-ranking wolf man is still standing on the ground, trying to find the trace of Sauron with his crazy and bloodthirsty eyes. A lot of blood came out. Someone tried to get close to it to heal its injuries, but without the magic arts of the high-level priest, it is impossible to relieve such a serious injury by relying on medicine alone. More and more blood gushed out, bloodstains were all over the feet of the high-ranking wolf man, and its eyes became more and more crazy and weaker.
finally.
After being pierced through the heart by Sauron, it persisted for five or six minutes before it bled dry and fell to the ground with a roar full of unwillingness!
A reminder appeared in front of my eyes:
"Target dead!"
"Extract soul energy!..."
"You get 5200 killing experience points!..."
…
Sauron returned to the shadows.
He wandered around the hunters, staring at the high-level wolf man who fell to the ground in front of him, and said in surprise: "What a high toughness immunity!"
In his memory, apart from those warriors in the legendary realm, there are probably only some creatures with abnormal vitality who can counterattack when they are pierced through the heart. The high-level gnoll who was listed as the first target just now did not trigger the fatal judgment when stabbing the heart. I am afraid that there are not many fatal judgment points in its whole body. Launch a decapitation attack!
High-level purebred melee types can develop extremely high toughness specialties. Sauron has seen legendary melee type professionals with [Legendary Fortitude] and [Absolute Toughness], and they still fought for nearly ten minutes after their hearts were pulled out. . Relying on his flashy explosive power, he killed a large number of enemies at the last moment of his life. If a high-level priest casts a level nine [Advanced Restoration Spell] on him during this period, then his heart that was pulled out can be restored by divine magic.
The career level of a high-level wolf man is close to 18, and its HP is conservatively estimated to be close to 300 points.
Sauron's knife only caused about 150 points of damage to it without triggering the fatal damage judgment. Although it did not kill it on the spot, the bleeding damage and internal organ damage that followed immediately caused it to The health value is continuously reduced. Even with the strong vitality of a high-ranking fighter, it would not be able to sustain such severe bleeding internal organs for too long. The God of Hunting has withdrawn the divine spells it bestowed, and no priests with occupational level above 15 can use restoration spells. Even treating serious injuries is just to make it last for a while.
Its vitality is rapidly draining, and finally its last life value is completely exhausted.
Although Sauron killed the most dangerous high-ranking gnoll among the hunters, he didn't feel much excitement, because the enemy in front of him was stronger than he estimated, and he simply didn't have the ability to kill them all. In one attack, these enemies had already been alarmed, shortened the distance between each other, and expanded the alert range at the same time, basically cutting off his chance of sneak attack. The ability to travel through shadows has already been activated. Without this supernatural ability across planes, it would be very difficult for him to reach for the backstab by sneaking.
Kill an enemy and he will be surrounded by other hunters!
but.
Sauron didn't leave just yet.
He is a very patient wanderer, and he is firm enough to kill the enemy in front of him. He lurks around again, silently waiting for new opportunities.
As long as these hunters continue to perform the ceremony, then he can wait for new opportunities.
For Sauron who has already surpassed the third level, just one chance like this is enough for him to kill an enemy!
The light of dawn gradually emerged.
The hunters didn't dare to act rashly at all. Against a rogue who was proficient in stealth, rash actions would only expose him to danger.
They are waiting for daylight, when it is time to look for traces of wanderers.
The half-breed orc was cursing angrily, as if he was going to cramp and skin the enemy after he found it, but the surrounding area was still very dark, no matter how harsh it was or how angry it was, this guy would not dare to leave the others for more than fifteen years. step distance. As long as it exceeds this distance, it may be attacked by high-level rogues, because there are too many shadows and darkness nearby.
There is more and more light in the sky.
Sauron extended the distance to more than 200 meters, because with the arrival of daylight, the ability to sneak was also weakened, and this group of hunters might disperse into small groups to look for him.
A rogue must never confront more than three enemies that are not much different from their own occupational level.
Sudden.
Just when Sauron was about to continue to distance himself, the hunters in front let out an excited roar, and then saw them rushing towards the foot of the mountain. There used to be a lot of vines growing there, but now they have started to wither in large areas, and the power contained in them has been exhausted, and these vines spawned by mysterious power died quickly.
A loud eagle cry sounded.
The hunter's movements were a little slower, Sauron also looked up to the sky, and he saw the druid's figure.
There were sobs of joy and weeping from inside the vine. After three full days of support, a druid finally found them. The half-breed orcs let out a roar, and then rushed towards the vines without hesitation. They wanted to kill the target before the druid approached.
Wordy!
A sharp arrow hit the front half-breed orc, and then a vigorous figure jumped down from a height of hundreds of meters.
It was a very tall female elf with a beautiful face. There was a crescent moon emblem on the exquisite armor. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly broke out and sprinted into the vine in a stealth state.
A shadow flew out!
He directly knocked out the elf nobleman inside the vine with a hand blade, and then fumbled quickly.
