The blue-robed mage immediately fired an ice arrow at the undead horse.
Compared with magic arrows, ice arrows obviously consume more mana, but the blue-robed mage still chooses to use them.
The blue-robed mage knew that if he used a magic arrow, even if it hit the undead war horse, if it didn't hit the head, it would only open a blood hole in its body. Although its speed could be affected by the injury, But it can't kill you with one hit, and it can still chase you from behind.
Since magic needs to be performed on a running horse, the blue-robed mage is afraid that the accuracy of the magic will be deflected by the jolting of the horse. He is worried that the magic arrow will not be able to kill the undead horse, so he uses more powerful ice arrows. .
Ice arrows shot at the undead horse under the vampire. If it is a regular creature, similar to the wolf king that Rhodes dealt with at the beginning, or a vampire with combat consciousness, it will instinctively feel the danger and will find a way to avoid this spell.
The transformed undead war horse obviously does not have this ability. Since it is only a low-level undead creature and has no independent consciousness, it does not even think about dodging the ice arrows shot at it. Instead, it still follows Rhodes' order and rushes towards the blue-robed mage in front. Rush away.
When the vampire saw the blue-robed mage raising his hand, he realized that he was preparing to cast a spell and began to look for opportunities.
The ice arrow is about to hit the undead war horse. At the moment when the undead war horse and the blue-robed mage were closest, the vampire jumped up from the undead war horse, and the sharp claws in his hands stretched straight towards the blue-robed mage in front.
The ice arrow directly hit the front body of the undead war horse, exploding half of its body and forming a layer of frost at the same time.
Because the vampire jumped out of the undead horse one step ahead, he was not affected by the ice arrows. On the contrary, due to the undead horse's previous running, at this distance, if the blue-robed mage didn't react, the vampire could directly tear his body apart.
Sure enough, the second ice arrow also came to the vampire. Seeing this, the vampire directly used bat transformation, and his body turned into a black mist. The ice arrow shot through the black mist without causing any harm to the vampire.
In the black mist, a large number of bats rushed towards the blue-robed mage's position and the horses under him. Under the cover of night, these bats seemed to blend into the surrounding shadows, revealing their ferocious fangs in the darkness.
As early as the black mist first appeared, the blue-robed mage began to prepare the next spell.
At this time, seeing the bats rushing towards him, the blue-robed mage raised his hand, and the ice ring that had cleared away most of the bats on the battlefield reappeared.
Following a huge explosion, an ice-blue ripple spread out around the blue-robed mage. A large number of bats transformed into vampire bats died instantly, and black mist erupted in the sky.
In the black fog, the figure of the vampire appeared, but he could hardly stand and almost fell to the ground. He was obviously in a very bad condition.
Since the location of the bat transformation this time was very close to the blue-robed mage, all the bats were within the casting range of the ice magic ring. This also resulted in the blue-robed mage only releasing one ice magic ring, and most of the bats were destroyed. The bat kills instantly. For a time, the vampire's health was running low.
After the bat transformation ended, the vampire paid no attention to the blue-robed mage behind him, quickly ran to the previously killed undead horse, and began to devour the flesh and blood of the dead horse.
As long as it devours flesh and blood, vampires can restore their health points, whether they are ordinary creatures or undead creatures whose flesh and blood have not yet decayed. Through this method of flesh and blood, the vampire's life value is restored.
On the other side, after releasing the Ice Demon Ring, the blue-robed mage wanted to release an ice arrow to kill it because of his understanding of the characteristics of vampires. However, what he did not expect was that when he released the Ice Demon Ring, The resulting explosion frightened the horse beneath him.
Although the position of the blue-robed mage and the horse was in the center of the ice magic ring, the horse did not receive any damage from the ice magic ring. But the violent explosion produced by the ice magic ring stimulated its instinct, causing it to lose control in fear.
The horse under the blue-robed mage raised its front hooves, swinging wildly, throwing the blue-robed mage on the ground, and then ran wildly in one direction.
The blue-robed mage was suddenly thrown off his horse and fell to the ground. Based on daily experience, the blue-robed mage knows to use his back to bear most of the impact.
Although the blue-robed mage did not suffer much damage due to the sudden fall, looking at the horses retreating, the blue-robed mage was in a very bad mood.
The blue-robed mage obviously did not expect that at this most critical moment, the horse he relied on to escape would be frightened and run away from him.
The blue-robed mage stood up from the ground, took out and tore a healing magic scroll from his pocket, and used it to restore his condition.
Turning to look at the vampire that was devouring the horse's flesh not far away, the blue-robed mage condensed an ice arrow in his hand and shot it in its direction.
The vampire quickly devoured the flesh and blood, not noticing the ice arrows that were shooting at it rapidly. By the time it felt something was wrong, it was already too late, and the ice arrows had already arrived in front of it.
Suddenly, a round shield flew in and blocked the ice arrow. With an explosion, the round shield was knocked away by the ice arrow and flew towards the vampire.
The vampire reacted immediately and flashed to the side.
At this time, Rhodes had also arrived and dismounted. After seeing this situation on the field, he immediately threw the buckler in the space ring and blocked the ice arrow.
Compared to the blue-robed mage escaping on horseback, Rhodes was more worried that he chose to hide in the forest.
Since it was already midnight, Rhodes could quickly judge the many traces left by the horse's running. But if the blue-robed mage hides in the forest, Rhodes will have no way to find him in a short time. He can only wait until dawn to find a solution.
Therefore, Rhodes asked the vampire to ride the undead war horse to catch up with the blue-robed mage first and fight with him.
Rhodes deeply understands the power of the mage. Therefore, Rhodes knows that the power of the vampire alone cannot defeat the blue-robed mage. Regarding the battle between the vampire and the blue-robed mage, Rhodes only hopes that the vampire can hold the blue-robed mage back, preferably first. Kill the blue-robed mage's horse.
At this time, although the vampire itself was seriously injured, what it did was obviously beyond Rhodes' expectations. It not only consumed a large amount of the blue-robed mage's mana, but also made the blue-robed mage's horse frighten and run away.
Rhodes knew that before a battle, the most effective way to weaken a mage was to use various means to trick him into releasing his skills, causing him to waste his mana.
Rhodes took out the iron sword from the space ring and looked at the blue-robed mage not far away.
