Shadow Covenant

Chapter 109 "Advanced Success"

Woody's current situation is not optimistic.

Although he quickly beheaded two large water elementals just now, the price he paid was chest and rib contusions. In addition, his left thigh was also pierced by the harpoon.

No way, when a group of sahuagin surround you and take advantage of your opportunity to deal with large water elementals, they will crazily output to your back, even if you have extraordinary agility, it will be difficult to dodge.

Not to mention that he is only 18 points of agility now.

And before killing the water elemental, in order to avoid the sneak attack of those monsters targeting his vital parts, Woody also activated the effect of the cat's eye potion again, avoiding several sneak attacks that caused serious injuries.

Otherwise, his situation will only get worse now.

But everything was worth it, at least the large water elemental had fallen, and the barrier of the mansion was finally preserved.

While thinking, Woody let his whole body sink into the tide-like mud. He felt the tremor sensation brought by the "Stone Walking Technique", after making sure that the nearby sahuagin were all dispersed.

He just poked his head out of the wet soil.

Fortunately, he used the spell attached to Thor's ring flexibly just now, otherwise, in his state just now, facing the remaining sahuagin head-on, even if he killed them, his final result would probably be worse than lying on the ground. The sahuagin on the ground were not much better.

After poking his head out, Woody kept collecting the loot that he didn't have time to collect just now, and he was slightly relieved after picking up the three water elemental cores that fell on the ground. These are worth some money, after all, he wants to summon water Elemental materials are equally rare.

Woody originally wanted to get out of the mud, disarm the magic and return to the mansion, but immediately changed his mind, and instinct made him choose to sneak into this land again without hesitation.

It wasn't until he counted silently for a minute that he poked his head slightly. Just now, he felt an inexplicable vision sweeping towards here, which was very dangerous.

Obviously, more than 90.00% of them may be the casters who sensed the death of the summoned large water element.

And the perception just now may have been explored with the help of the spell "detection guard" or "insight magic eye".

But Woody didn't show any panic on his face, instead he was thoughtful.

Low-level scrying spells are difficult to detect invisible units, let alone creatures hidden in the ground.

He was not worried about being discovered, but was thinking about whether he should go there.

That's right, take the initiative to come to the door!
The main reason is that he is currently in the state of Thor stone magic. High walls and mud can't stop him, and no one can notice him moving in the mud. If he can kill the caster, it means once and for all, and the crisis tonight can be completely subsided .

What's more, he still has a chance to use the stone movement technique. If he can't beat it, there is absolutely no problem for him to run away.

The low-ring priest has no means to keep monsters walking through the mud, which is not in the ocean.

The only thing to worry about is that he may be forced to hand over his spells and flee for his life before he gets close.

However, this problem is dispelled by the data that comes with the panel.

That is, he found that after the battle, his accumulated experience points had exceeded 5000, and there were even 100 left.

Among them, the bulk of the experience is the shark lizard beast that died on the beach, and the remaining experience is made up by three large water elementals, plus scattered sahuagin, crystal worms, etc.

Neither fast nor slow, since the requirements for leveling up have been met.

Woody didn't hesitate, and directly raised the level of the demon hunter, which hadn't changed for a few days.

In the retina, a row of data torrents are presented again:
——"The Demon Hunter profession has been upgraded to level 5."

——“获得21（18+3）点技能点，提高14点（10+4）生命值。”

- "Acquire a new specialization (selection)."

—— "Obtain a new seal (selection)."

——"The demon hunter profession level has reached the second level!... Comprehend the combat skills [hunting pace]..."

……

Woody exhaled slightly, and finally reached the second level.

Originally, he wanted to seize the time to rest at night in the wilderness after leaving Palermo to quickly escalate.

After all, there are many monster lairs in the wilderness around the city. The reason why he made so many potions is not only to guard against sneak attacks by monsters on the road, but also to prepare for the next adventure upgrade.

To pass through the tunnel hidden under the Crescent Mountain Range, the minimum required level to go to the Northland is level 5.

But now that he has completed his goal ahead of schedule, it will make his subsequent journey easier and more comfortable. He only needs to sit in the carriage and wait for his plans.

Putting what was in his mind behind him, Woody refocused his gaze on the data in his retina.

The increase in health has eased the slight pain and injury, and it should have turned into a mild injury. The distribution of skill points is not in a hurry. Now he is not sure what emergencies will happen next. When the time comes There is no rush.

The extra skill points allow him to control whether he is fighting or defending well.

Thinking of the scene where he met the drow elves before, Woody is now vigilant about any possible incidents.

What Woody cares more about is the extra specialties, seal selection, and the last piece of advanced information.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the choice. The fifth-level demon hunter has three specialties to choose from, just like upgrading to the third-level. Level five, after reaching level two, one will automatically comprehend a combat skill that fits the body.

It was this skill that made Woody stunned.

——"Combat skill "hunting pace": In countless battles, the demon hunter has comprehended a unique pace of his own from the mutated blood. When attacking forward, a magic-like "dimension jump" will appear, and the demon hunter's body will disappear into the air for a short time, and then he and his weapon will appear together in a space one meter away. "

"Demon hunters are said to be created by warlocks. It seems that it is not groundless. Due to the sequelae of potions, their bodies are filled with the blood of various creatures, and they will appear one by one after death. Look! This is a very typical flashing dog." ... Oh, this is the succubus... How much potion did he drink, hell! - In the autopsy class, the mage was playing back and forth with a corpse. When the corpse was from the ankle to the lower limb, the old mage finally Can't help but complain."

……

This shouldn't be a combat skill that second-tier demon hunters can master!
According to the standard, at least it is a combat skill that can only be comprehended after Woody reaches level ten and level three.

After all, compared to the fighting skills of other professions, the hunting pace is just a simple pace at first glance.

But for veterans, as long as they grasp the interval when this body disappears into the plane for a short time, they can even avoid the arrows that are shot directly, and there will be a famous scene where people pass through the arrows without any damage.

It seems that it is because of the cat's eye drops just now and the experience in the previous life that I automatically comprehend it!

Woody suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, no matter how much he speculated, the truth was in front of him.

All he needs to do is calmly accept the memory instinct that comes with this data.

Soon, Woody's mind instinctively mastered how to seize the short-term opportunity when rushing forward and let his body pass through the space, as if he had practiced countless times, and he was extremely proficient.

But now his body is still in the soil, and he can't try it for the time being. Woody can only suppress the desire to practice, and then look at the three specialties and three spells that a demon hunter can choose after level five. .

"Demon hunting" (winter wolf): In order to find the beasts and monsters hiding in the wilderness, the demon hunters of the winter wolf school have strengthened their five senses through various alchemy potions. Bloodstains to track the location of the bloodstain owner, no monster can escape their pursuit. "Special Perception +3, Tracking Trace +3"

"In my eyes, the smell on you is as clear as the smelliest parsley. It's like a chain in the dark, you can't break free, but I can see everything——Winter Wolf School Demon Hunting Master Gryon."

"Alchemy and Assimilation" (civet cat): Demon hunters of the civet school not only have a full understanding of the efficacy and properties of medicines when they have been in contact with herbs and monster materials for a long time, but your body can withstand more magic than other demon hunters. Drug toxicity. "The number of potions you can drink at one time +1, poison damage +2, immunity +3"

"Damn! You are the monster! I am not! Thank you! Maybe you are the ones who should leave this world! ——When the vampire met the demon hunter and tasted his blood."

"Defense-breaker" (Shadow Snake): After a long period of assassination activities, the demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School have understood how to deal with the enemies hiding in the tortoise shell. Know how to use the weapons in your hands to find the omissions in the enemy's defense and cause real damage to them. "Insight into Weaknesses +2"

"You know it yourself, as long as I don't die, no matter if you hide in a nobleman's castle or under the shield of a mage in the future, you won't be at ease. So, don't betray someone like me—"Giant Serpent's Fang" Capes."

……

Compared with the last time, the three specialties are of much higher quality this time. Whether it is the tracking of the winter wolf school, the increase of internal resistance of the civet, or the targeted defense breaking of the shadow snake, they can all improve his current abilities. There are some shortcomings.

Woody hardly hesitated. As a player with rich combat experience, he naturally knew which of the three specialties was the most useful to him.

The only specialty point is undoubtedly used in the "defense-breaking vanguard" specialty that has accompanied him in battle for a long time.

To some extent, this specialty is not so much like the monk's breath locking, but more like the sword master's heart sword perception. They all use their rich combat experience and past memory to find out the caster's protective shield. One of the weak points.

Obviously, compared to the first two, this can improve his combat power more intuitively.

To be honest, for him who has opened the Prophet plug-in, its usefulness is not as great as imagined, and the civet is too dependent on potions, and there are other alternatives for taking potions many times.

Feeling the memory instinct surging again, Woody quickly set his sights on the new seal while gradually digesting it.

The magic seal of the demon hunter is not like the specialty, which changes from time to time, and most of them will not go wrong.

If his memory is correct, among the seals that a demon hunter can choose for the second time, there is the one that can successfully make him even have the power to fight against the spellcaster.

To a certain extent, second-level demon hunters can be regarded as demon hunters in the true sense. The former can only be regarded as apprentices at most, and only the latter can truly have the capital to fight against spellcasters.

Woody put his consciousness into the selection of the seals, and in the next second, the data of the three seals appeared in front of him in a triangle shape.

"Spider's Touch"

"Withered Soil" and "Order of Repulsion".

"Spider's Touch" (Dharma Seal): After a gesture, your palms and soles will secrete a spider-like mucus. With his help, you can climb on rough terrain for a short time. Note: The load is within 70KG.

"Withered Soil" (Sigil): After a gesture, when your left hand with the Sigil touches the next creature, that creature will be affected by wither for a short time, and its strength, agility, and constitution will be exhausted, 1 Resume in minutes.

"Order of Repulsion" (Sigil): After a gesture, a transparent cone-shaped force field will appear in front of your palm, which can be used to repel, stun, knock down or even disarm opponents. Even if it is a solid obstacle, the power of the force field is equivalent to your hard push.

Woody didn't even look at it, and directly chose the seal of the magical skill "Order of Repulsion", which is recognized among demon hunter players.

This is also the reason why he was so swearing after he learned that he had upgraded.

In some cases, the order of repulsion is more useful than some means against the caster. Not only can you use the order of repulsion to change your body position to avoid spell attacks, but you can also hit the caster with a magic seal that is almost instant caught off guard.

Of course, how to use it also requires skill.

For example, methods such as shoveling, blowing yarn, and imbalance can cause the caster to be seriously disturbed when chanting the spell, thus directly interrupting his spell.

And these skills are already familiar to Woody.

Like low-level mages, the concentration is generally not high, and his repelling order can almost interrupt spellcasting 100%.

Feeling the slow formation of the seal of repelling on the back of his left hand.

Woody's hanging heart was also relieved. With it, he would not have to be so embarrassed when facing the caster.

After choosing the specialty and the seal, Woody naturally has no reason to hide in this land.

He began to try to find the trace of the sahuagin spellcaster. The water element in the mansion was killed by him, and with the flame barrier to rely on, the guards of Edith Manor should be able to last for a while, although he can return now. With fewer losses, there will be fewer casualties.

But if you really want to do it once and for all, you can only attack the real mastermind of this battle group.

But this time, he who has successfully advanced is no longer the previous prey.

The identity of the hunter returned to the body!
