Chapter 41 The Makajeron Attack

"The shadow is my domain. If you dare to step into my domain, you have no choice but to die."

This was the bold statement made by Oles, the king of thieves and the lord of shadows in the world of Parvatiga thousands of years ago at the meeting of all races. After that, there was a ten-year era of killing. , blood is flowing every moment, and death is always lingering on the land of Parvatiga.

Ten years later, thieves finally joined the ranks of combat professionals as a formal profession. People finally realized for the first time that these ditch rats, which had been hiding in the shadows all year round, had such terrifying lethality. and threatening.

Every wandering soul walking in the shadows is the most terrifying assassin, and Macajron is no exception.

The black-painted dagger pierced out from the shadow. There was no sound of wind, no light, only a faint black shadow, which pierced Shuer's back like black lightning.

The sudden attack has exceeded the limit of physical speed. Without the support of fighting spirit, it is impossible to reach this speed. However, those plants... cannot use fighting spirit.

There is no warning, and it is as fast as lightning. Even a physical professional can hardly dodge completely, not to mention that Shuer is only a priest.

Shuuer couldn't avoid it, but he didn't necessarily have to dodge.

"Dang", this was the sound that made Saff the most reassuring. The hammer was raised close to her back, just blocking the path of the dagger. The indestructible dagger stabbed hard on the hammer and bounced back unwillingly.

If it were an ordinary weapon, it would be easily cut off by the rogue's extremely penetrating grudge attack. Fortunately, Shuer's hammer was not ordinary.It was a holy weapon that was exclusively used by war priests and had been bathed in divine grace. It could remain intact even in head-to-head collisions with weapons imbued with fighting spirit.

The dagger retracted at a touch and retracted into the shadow, as if it had never appeared. Everything around it returned to its original state, and the scene that just happened seemed like a dream.

"Haha, Macajron." The muscles in Shuer's back flexed to relieve the stiffness of the impact. This defense seemed simple, but in fact, Shuuer used all his fighting skills to achieve this effect.

Needless to say, there cannot be any deviation in the position of the hammer, and even the angle cannot tolerate any mistakes.When the tip of the dagger pierces smooth metal, it should slide away to both sides. The force-bearing surface of the hammer must be exactly perpendicular to the angle of the opponent's strength in order for the dagger to bounce away. This alone took a lot of effort from him.

"Swish, swish, swish", the moment the dagger was retracted, three spears penetrated the space behind the dagger. However, they did not hit any objects. Macajerun was no longer in his original position. As for which shadow he is now hiding in, no one knows. up.

No, someone knew, at least Sapph knew.

Silent walking can indeed weaken the sound of footsteps, making the thief's whereabouts more mysterious, but weakening does not eliminate it. Even the sound of falling snow can be heard. What else can be hidden from Saff's ears?

"Stop." Even in the battle, the female swordsman's voice was soft, but her giant sword was strong enough. It moved diagonally from bottom to top as if it was weightless in her hand, and the fighting spirit emitted by the sword turned into Wherever the air blade touched, even the hard metal wall was easily cut into two pieces.

"laugh".A piece of clothes fell in the air, but there was no blood on it. The sound of footsteps disappeared in a flash. Under the cover of the shadow, the halfling had gone away like the wind.

"He's completely gone." Saff opened his eyes wide, uh, although he couldn't see clearly, "He's actually attacking us."

"He may not be attacking us." Shuer shook his head and said, "Only he knows what he was fighting just now, Xiaolu..."

"No, the sense of smell must also be disturbed." Lin Jing said regretfully, "Just now, my throwing spear could have the smell of the forest attached to it. Here, only I will emit this smell, but he didn't recognize it. .”

"It's very troublesome. Besides, why did he run away?"

"Could it be..." Saff hesitated, her lack of self-confidence showing no signs of getting better.

"Speak boldly. I won't spank you if you are wrong. I will only do it if you dare not say it."

"If you change your mind, you know how to hit people." The blushing female swordsman looked sweetly, "I think, is he trying to lead us somewhere? After all, he still had a chance just now, so he shouldn't retreat .”

"Oh, maybe." Xiure nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder, no wonder, now I understand. Let's catch up."

"Don't ride me anymore. It's okay if you ride me. Sasa rides me too. I... Oops."

After being lightly bitten on the neck by the red-faced female swordsman, Moria finally accepted the fate of becoming a mount and chased down the street where Macajron escaped. Poor Shuer could only work hard. He followed closely behind him. Even if he was carrying one person on his back, Lin Jing still ran faster than him. "Stop, don't run, don't move, hahahaha." The daughter of the forest is a famous optimist. She can find joy around her at any time. If she can't find it, then just entertain herself, just like now.

"You guys are really..." Xiuer was really helpless. This deer would always destroy the atmosphere without any scruples and make everyone laugh or cry. But it is this kind of Moria who is the partner that everyone likes, even if She likes to poke people's pain while pretending to be stupid, and she won't make people feel annoying.

Moreover, sometimes such a partner is really needed to relieve tension, such as when chasing a halfling.

In Parvatiga, there are few things that are more troublesome than tracking down a high-level thief.These sneaky guys are masters of tracking themselves, and are certainly no strangers to anti-tracking methods. In addition, with the protection of shadows, they can minimize their presence. It is too difficult to find their traces.

Fortunately, the forest elf is also a master of tracking and will never be inferior to the thieves. Although it is very difficult, he never loses track of the halfling.

For tracking, relying on observing the traces left in the environment is only the lowest level of skill. If there is only this level, more than half of the hunters in the forest will starve to death.

A true tracking master can analyze the environment in all aspects, not only smells, sounds, energy fluctuations, and lighting characteristics, but can even determine the time and location of the target through subtle changes in temperature in the air. No wonder these people have the courage to call themselves, as long as they are true Nothing in existence can escape their pursuit.

The halfling can't escape, at least he can't lower his body temperature significantly.

Moria suddenly stopped, licked the back of her hand, stretched her arm forward, and squinted her eyes to patiently feel the subtle difference in temperature.Both Shuer and Safu held their breaths in silence. Their many cooperations made them already know what to do so as not to destroy the remaining traces.

"He just passed by here one minute and ten seconds ago." Moria said with certainty, "He stayed here for about 14 seconds."

"Then what? In which direction did you leave?"

"The direction to leave... is this way." Slowly turning her neck, Moria suddenly threw her spear at Shuer without any warning.

Xiu'er raised his eyebrows, but his body remained motionless. It could even be said that he didn't even move a muscle, as if he was sure that the forest spirit would not attack him.

Sure enough, the throwing spear passed close to Xiu Er's cheek, and the wind pressure left a white mark on the skin, but it did not cause any real damage.

"Dang." Whether it was the timing or the position, the spear was just right. The dagger that had just been thrust out of the shadow had to change its direction and block the spear aside. The power contained in the spear even made it impossible for Macajron to remain in the shadow state. , had to show traces for the first time.

"Don't interfere." Leaving these words behind, Xiuer drew a circle on his chest and activated the buff magic on his body. He stretched out his body and rushed in front of the halfling. He had a hammer in his right hand, an empty hand in his left hand, and a horse. Cajelen was tightly entangled.

Unlike the fighting style of Parvatiga's warriors, Shuer's battlefield was completely controlled within a range of less than one meter around him.

Every move he makes is the shortest distance. He raises his hands and legs. The shorter the distance the hands and feet move, the better. He will never walk an extra centimeter. When attacking and defending, he always chooses the most direct path. In this way First of all, even though he has an obvious disadvantage in terms of speed, he can make every move first, making it impossible for the opponent's attacks to be fully launched, and tightly limiting the opponent's strength.

"Dang, dang," the sound of metal clashing was continuous. The hammer and two daggers collided continuously, and sparks shot out in the air. After six consecutive strikes, Shuer's free left hand, which had been ignored, suddenly swung out, and slapped the palm of his hand on the ground. On the halfling's shoulders.

It looked like it was just a casual wave, and it didn't have much power, but I didn't know what kind of magical power was in the palm of my hand. Macajerun was suddenly shocked, as if he had been frightened, and even his offensive and defensive movements were somewhat deformed. .

Of course, Xiuer would not miss this opportunity. He took a step forward to close the distance, and punched the halfling's chest hard several times in a row. The thumping sound of the impact was horrifying.

"Cough cough cough", under the force, the halfling coughed violently, and with the help of the power of his fist, he quickly pulled out and finally got rid of Xiure's entanglement. It seemed that Xiure's special tactics just now made the halfling very uncomfortable. As soon as he got rid of it, he immediately turned around and ran away like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow. In an instant, he lost sight of the trace.

"Eh? Interesting, interesting." Lin Jing blinked and poked Safu's waist, "Aren't these few punches interesting?"

"Hate, hate." Saff pushed away Moria's troublesome hand and protested, "It's not interesting at all, stop messing around."

"Hahaha." Xiure smiled mysteriously, without explaining what he had done. The three of them just looked at each other and then looked away, everything was understood tacitly.
