Pale Emblem

Chapter 85 Sympathy
The six two-meter-tall goat heads held large blades, lowered their heads, aimed their hardest frontal bones at Vertok's back, and rushed desperately.They panted heavily, their eyes turned red with blood, their strong bodies savagely separated from clumps of thorny thorns, smashed the bushes blocking the road with their horns, and waded a straight path, but they were always worse than Vertok in front of them. some distance.

Chased and rammed by six angry, irascible rams, even the most seasoned shepherd would be terrified.If it is the six goat head monsters with infinite strength and thick skin that are provoked, even the sturdy and brave Hemer female warriors must avoid them first.Because, you don't know what medicine these sheep head monsters are taking, and what strange effects they have, but they are definitely more ferocious than one.

Vertoc's knowledge of the goat head came from his memory of monsterology, and he now experiences first-hand the extraordinaryness of this orc.

The sheep's head monsters are usually mild-mannered, but once they stimulate the medicinal properties of plants in their bodies, they become as terrifying as long-horned demons.The sturdy body endows the goat head with powerful strength, physical fitness, and excellent fighting ability.Under the stimulation of botanical medicinal properties, their strong talents are not only brought into full play, but their violent attack desires are also particularly strong.Even though many of their companions fell in pursuit of the enemy, the remaining six sheep-headed monsters had no intention of backing down or giving up.

In such a situation, Vertok had no other idea than to eliminate them completely.

Of course, he couldn't fight close to the hordes of goat head monsters. If he was entangled by them and swung down several long-handled swords together, his situation would still be very dangerous.To make matters worse, the goblin-raised goat head bodyguard is equipped with rhino leather armor, plus a body of strong and full muscles enough to reduce the puncture damage caused by bows and arrows.

The killing effect of bows and arrows on Sheepsheads is not ideal, and Vertoc also has his own set of methods.

He took a long breath, mobilized his inward dive with the internal breathing technique in the combat breathing method, tilted his body left and right like a pendulum, bypassed a few bushes and thorns, instantly opened the distance from the goat head monster, and then turned to kneel, Slide backwards by inertia, while pulling the bow to draw the arrow.

"Om", "Om", "Om", the bowstring of the animal tendon twisted with silver threads vibrates three times in a row, and the three sharp feather arrows shoot off the strings, aiming at the recurve leg of the sheep's head monster in the front. nest.

Mobile shooting is the most representative blood secret ability of bow fighters.They can use ranged weapons to shoot at targets while running, jumping, tumbling, and sliding.But if you want to hit the moving target accurately, it is generally a bow fighter above the fourth level.

Taking into account the influence of posture deformation on shooting accuracy and shooting speed, bow fighters usually carry two different sets of accessories: hard and soft bows. Fixed shooting uses a powerful hard bow; mobile shooting has to be replaced by a lightweight soft bow.

Mobile shooting skills were more difficult than Vertok imagined.In fact, the top bow fighters all rely on the keen intuition brought by the secret blood to shoot, with only half the hit rate, plus the unsatisfactory soaking effect of the soft bow, the power against tough enemies is limited.It can also be said that the mobile shooting of the bow fighters is a random shot with closed eyes, as long as it can block the enemy's actions, it will achieve its purpose.

What's more, Veltoc is now using a hard bow that requires the bow warrior to struggle, and the target he is aiming at is only the knee joint of the goat head.

Use a hard bow and hit the goat head in the leg socket?

If there are bow warriors who witnessed this scene, I am afraid that they would not believe their eyes.

Vertok's 21-point perception attribute has steadily entered the supernatural realm. He can use the intermediate combat breathing method to integrate his external force and internal diving to use such incredible shooting skills.Fortunately, the Goatheads are brainless orcs. They chased Vertok and ran in a straight line. When they saw him opening a bow while sliding, they didn't mean to dodge.

Even so, Vertoc still missed two arrows, but the last arrow pierced the goathead's left leg well, the diamond-shaped arrow piercing its knee.

The sheep's head joint is a weak point. The recurve physiological structure lacks the protection of the kneecap on the front, and there is no leather armor. The sharp bow and arrow can easily penetrate the leg socket and pierce the ligament.

Under the effect of the frenzied medicinal effect, the unsuspecting goat head did not feel an arrow in his leg.It slams forward to rip apart injured ligaments, then torn tendons, periosteum, blood vessels, muscles and skin.The sheep monster's left calf fell straight off, lost its balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Sheephead monsters with broken legs will definitely not survive, the only difference is whether they die of thirst, starvation, or are eaten alive by something.

Wiltok turned and ran without any hesitation, he didn't need to observe the result of the battle.He has used the method of shooting lamb legs to solve more than 20 sheep-headed monsters. Sometimes one arrow is effective, and sometimes three arrows in a row will miss.However, to deal with the remaining five sheep-headed monsters, you only need to do the same.

Keep pulling, looking for the right opportunity, and then hit the sheep's head with a bow and arrow at the fragile knees, causing them to tear off their calves and incapacitate themselves.Vertok teased the last two goatheads back to the bushes. He took a position under a slope and shot at the right angle of the goatheads' leg sockets. He reached for the quiver behind him, but felt empty.

From before dawn to the afternoon, all the feather arrows he prepared had been used up, and a total of 29 goat heads were eliminated.There were only two goat head bodyguards left in the Bone Collector's gang, and it could be said that the entire army was wiped out.

The goathead monster, who was burned by the herbal medicine, couldn't understand the situation at all. The enemy in front was as slippery as the fish in the water, and he couldn't catch it, which turned them into angry rams.They had red eyes, tensed their thick and sturdy muscles, and held up a bright long-handled broadsword, and charged aggressively, appearing to be full of oppression.

Vertoc threw away his bow, pulled out a fine iron sword with his backhand, and faced the two tall and strong goat heads straight.He adjusted his breathing, his footsteps slid fast and slow, stopped and moved, like a ghostly phantom flickering silently, and the position was unpredictable, making it difficult to lock on.

Flash Sword.

Vertoc's time in the Dream Arena was not in vain. He combined the intermediate combat breathing method, the wind and the blood boiling talent to create a unique sword skill. By controlling the speed and changing the displacement to confuse the enemy's judgment, it looks like a phantom flashing.He used the flash sword technique to deal with the storm gnolls in the Dream Arena, killing the enemy with one hit and never losing again.

The ferocious gnoll's combat intuition does not work at all in the face of flash swordsmanship, and Vertoc, who is skilled in martial arts, naturally has the advantage.

Compared to gnolls, goat heads are less good at fighting and have no wild instincts.But they are trained by the hobgoblins and know how to use their strengths.

The two sheep-headed monsters didn't care about anything, they swung their big blades and slashed at Vertok.Their slashes have no skill at all, they just used enough strength.Although the movements of the sheep-headed monsters are all flaws, their dullness and stubbornness is almost an unstoppable bravery, relying on their strong physique to fight the enemy to lose both.

The deranged Sheepshead really wouldn't back down and dodge in a duel, slashing down with two large blades whizzing down.There was a faint red light in Vertok's eyes, the breeze surrounded his body, and the whole person flashed between the gaps between the two sheep's head monsters.

The big blades of the goat head were all missed, and the sharp sword in Vertok's hand stabbed horizontally from the armpit of the goat head on the left, straight through its heart.

The gushing blood poured on the body of the sheep's head monster on the right. It was shaking its head left and right, looking for Vertok's figure, but suddenly a blood-stained sword tip appeared from its chest.

This time it's its own blood.

Virtok lifted his foot and kicked on the thick back of the sheep's head, pulled out his long sword, and leaped back more than ten meters.When the two mortally wounded goat monsters lost their threat, he opened his mouth and exhaled a hot breath.

The same group of goat head bodyguards fought for more than ten hours, Vertok's physical strength and energy had reached the limit, and the feeling of weakness filled his body, and even his thinking ability was greatly weakened.

The medicinal properties of the plants depleted the life of the goathead monsters. They lay motionless in the pool of blood, and the surroundings were very safe. Only the whining of the broken-leg goathead monsters could be heard in the distance.

The sound of "baa" and "baa" is similar to the weak moan of a half-elf female, which is completely inconsistent with the strong and powerful appearance of the goat monster.After a period of adjustment, Vertok regained some of his energy. He walked over slowly and observed the two sheep-headed monsters that fell to the ground up close.

At this moment, before they took their last breath, they looked at Vertok innocently with their eyes open.

The sheep's head monster's eyes are extremely pure, and there is no superfluous emotional expression other than meekness and simplicity, as if Vertok is not the murderer who hurt them, or maybe they have no concept of hatred at all.

Strictly speaking, at the first sight of the sheep head monsters, they only think that they look like sheep.After careful observation, Vertoc found that the head of the goat head was still very different from the real goat head.The sheep's head's eyes are on the front of the face, not the sides.Therefore, their skull structure is closer to humanoid intelligent creatures.

In the face of the sheep's head, Vertoc could see the glimmer of spirituality.

There is no doubt that the sheep-headed monsters are intelligent species, even if they look like sheep, they are not beasts.

After a long period of hard fighting and his mind was emptied, Vertok was not happy at all when he witnessed the loss of the most precious lives of the two sheep-headed monsters.He was silent for a moment, took up the war bow, and returned from the original path, finding every goat head with a broken leg, and ending their pain with his own hands.

It was almost dusk when Vertok returned to the camp where the Bone Collector gang was breached. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the forest and pulled out oblique tree shadows. The bodies of dozens of clawed goblins lay down in the forest, accompanied by Dark red blood traces, rendering the bleak and desolate after the battle.

"Sir, you're finally back. Haha." Huck, who had blood stains on his leather armor, saw Vertok and happily greeted him.

Early this morning, Vertoc took him to sneak into the forest belt and approached the camp of the Bone Collector gang. He was startled when he saw nearly [-] orcs.However, Vertoc took the Bone Collector unprepared and attacked decisively, killing the two Hobgoblin leaders with his bow and arrow.The rest of the claw goblins were inexplicably frightened and fled in all directions, as they did when they attacked the low hill camp.Vertok took a torch and led away all the goat head bodyguards with insufficient night vision.Huck occupied the Bone Collector's camp and controlled the two surviving chicks of the Whistle Adventure Group as he had previously ordered.

Huck is worried about Vertoc's safety, but won't disobey his orders.He guarded the camp and killed several groups of claw goblins who returned to the camp.He finally breathed a sigh of relief until Vertok returned unharmed.

"Lord Vertoc, you are the strongest adventurer I have ever seen!" Huck exclaimed with admiration.

Almost single-handedly, the adventurer defeated and destroyed an entire gang of bone gatherers.Such a feat, Huck had never even heard of it.Vertoc let him witness the miraculous battle with his own eyes.

No matter how strong the personal abilities of half-elf professionals are, there is a limit to them, so they can take the initiative to attack the Bone Collector Orcs with only one helper.They don't even think about it.Because the fault tolerance rate is too low, there is absolutely no way to achieve your tactical goals.

Vertoc's ability to achieve this level mainly depends on the ability of Soul Touch, but it is not easy to implement.It's easy for him to shoot the two hobgoblin leaders, but it's hard to keep the two hostages safe.If Annie and Katie were killed by the Bone Collector Orcs, why would he bother doing such a thing?

The biggest obstacle is the goat head bodyguard.Although Huck mastered the Heart of the Mirror, he could not escape the siege of dozens of sheep-headed monsters.On the other hand, the claw goblins were first frightened by the title of "goblin slayer". Driven by fear and hatred, they still ran back to the camp to seek revenge on Vertok.

Just as dire gnolls were separated from orc gangs, Vertoc was also separated from claw goblins and goatsheads.He shoots the Hobgoblin leader, then uses the torch to lead the angry goat monster away, and tells Huck to guard the Bone Collector's camp and control Katie and Annie, but he must do what he can and act accordingly.

The powerful goatheads all went to hunt down Vertok, and Huck was just a simple cleanup to deal with the claw goblins returning in batches, he didn't lose the two half-elf chicks, the attack planned by Vertok declare success.

Thankfully, Huck, the shield guard, carried out his orders without compromise, running around without making up his own mind.If it was someone else, knowing that some Sharpclaw Goblins might return, still stick to the camp alone?

Who would do such a stupid thing, it's just a joke with their own life.

"Thank you, Huck." Vertok smiled and nodded.

Huck was surprised that for the first time since Vertok's eyes had turned blue, he had been so kind to himself and said "thank you".This is completely inconsistent with Lord Vertoc's noble and arrogant demeanor.

The shield guard scratched his head and asked worriedly, "Sir, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Wiltok shook his head, he knew that he did have some changes.It was inconceivable that the sheep-headed monster touched his sympathy.He and the sheep-headed monster had no hatred at all. Although they had different positions, it was easy for him to get rid of these simple-minded orcs.The reason why he wanted to kill more than 30 goats was only worried that they would return to the camp and attack Huck.Huck wanted to take Katie and Annie away by himself, and was hunted down by a group of sheep-headed monsters, which was really too reluctant.

If Vertoc ruthlessly slaughtered the goat head in order to rescue the two female professionals who were captured by the orcs, it seems to be justified.But is this really his heart?

Or do you have sympathy for Katie and Annie, sympathize with their tragic experience, and have the idea of ​​saving them, instead of simply treating them as precious observation samples?

Vertok was a little confused, and he found that the most difficult thing to understand was actually his own heart.

"How about Katie and Annie?" Vertok shook his head again and asked.

Huck turned to point to a wild tree and said, "They don't recognize me over there, they run around and attack me. I can only tie them to the tree with ropes..."

Annie and Katie were tied tightly to the tree trunk by ropes.Their hair was messy, their clothes were ragged, and their faces were covered in filthy sludge, which greatly reduced their appearance.Vertok walked up to Annie and stretched out his hand to rest her chin.The hollow-eyed Annie actually opened her mouth and bit his palm.

How could Vertok be bitten by Annie, he slapped her with a backhand, and slapped her loudly.Annie howled suddenly, and Katie next to her was shivering with fright, like a frightened little beast.

Huck sighed: "It's so pitiful that such two beautiful girls have become idiots. I think they are already useless, I can give them a good time... After all, it is difficult for us to take the burden of two idiots out Black Forest."

Vertok poked Annie and Katie on the side of their necks with their thumbs, and they fell into a drowsiness and stopped making noise.

"No, I have to find a way to heal them! Their condition is rare and involves spiritual damage. Healing their spiritual wounds, no matter what the outcome is, will be very helpful to me!" Vertok said enthusiastically .

"Mind trauma? Helping adults?"

Huck remembered Vertoc's amnesia and seemed to understand something.He hurriedly said, "My lord, there are some strange things in the Bone Collector's supplies. They may be useful for the lord to treat these two chicks!"
