The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 391 Intricate
  The sudden black shadow is like a poisonous snake that has been hiding in the dark for a long time. When it really takes action, the target is in danger.

The pair of daggers were no more than a foot long, but the blades with a huge amount of shadow energy could easily penetrate Kuroshou's outrageously strong aura, and a big hole appeared directly in the entire heart. of holes.

The broken heart was still beating tenaciously. Kuromori, who had suffered a fatal blow, twisted his body desperately. The ice crystals cracked and recovered, and his arms and spine were deformed due to excessive twisting, but it also gave Kuromori a chance to fight back. Good opportunity.

The heavy mace savagely hit the guy behind him who had severely injured him, but when he approached the opponent's body, the opponent's figure disappeared directly in front of him. The mental power of Allen and others covered the range of the mystery lock shield, trying to lock the opponent's position, but found nothing.

But at this time, Oscar's natural spell was finally completed again. Amidst the thunder of the cable, lightning fell again. At the same time, the elf mage and another spell caster also began to chant mysterious spells. Spell models formed in the air and turned into two huge hot fireballs.

When Allen got up from the ground, he only saw the ghostly figure pulling away. Then he saw the empty wound on Kuromori's chest. He didn't understand the reason of beating a drowned dog. He immediately ignored the pain in his arms and body, and then He found a big sword at one time and killed him fiercely.

"Hahaha~~~"

Blood slowly overflowed from the hollow, and the beating of the heart gradually began to slow down. The figure of the strong man who gave Hei Shou the fatal blow only appeared in front of everyone for just a glance, and then there was no trace of him again. It seemed that he was facing the crowd. There is no longer any sign of action against this target that is like a meat target.

A heroic and sad breath came from Kuromori's mouth. There was despair in Kuromori's eyes. Even if he died, he would never sit still and wait for death. After he let out a long laugh, all the energy in his body gathered at his heart. Infinite energy surges from heaven to earth, setting off a magical tide.

"Not good!! Close the mystery lock!!"

The elf mage was well-informed and knew that something was not going well. He immediately faced the spellcaster who had previously activated the mystery and shouted urgently.

“I want to leave, but there’s no way!! You’ll all be buried with me!!”

The serious injury to his heart made Kuromori know that he was absolutely unlucky today. With such a powerful team of assassins, it would be impossible for him to escape the pursuit even if he was seriously injured. It's also strange that Hei Shou has been living too comfortably in these years. He considers himself one of the five giants in the wilderness, and no one dares to take his crooked ideas lightly. However, it is unimaginable that after hundreds of years of stable life, he will finally Someone still came to take his life.

The bronze mask caster concentrated his mental power and nervously communicated with the Mystic Lock Array. Finally, he closed the Mystic Lock before the ferocious ogre's body magic wave in front of him became more violent.

The long-lost fresh air returned to this closed place. The heavy sword in Allen's hand violently collided with the mace that swept across the wind. While returning in vain, Allen opened the door with the food without hesitation. The distance between humans and demons. Just when everyone thought that the surge of Heishou's magic power had reached its peak and was about to explode, the powerful grinding suddenly washed the entire sky, setting off a strong wind of level ten or above. At the same time, under the cover of the strong wind, Heishou's fleshy body Suddenly it shot through the air, causing a shrill sound of breaking wind.

"This *bitch* son of a bitch wants to run away!!"

“My*day!!”

Everyone was so angry that they spread out their body skills and galloped away.

Kuromori succeeded in his treacherous plan, and although the life in his eyes was slowly disappearing, it at least gave him a glimmer of hope. He has already reached his level of strength, and he still has hundreds of years to live in the future. Unless there is really no way out, how can he be willing to die with the enemy!

Nowhere is safe at the moment, not even the Thorn Vine tribe. Only Mansha City, a gravel city with dozens of legends and the wilderness core of at least one demigod, is the perfect place for Black Guard to save his life. .

The pursuers behind him began to become uneven. As long as they chased for a while and distance, Black Guard could gather the last strength and give the first pursuer a fatal blow, at least causing the opponent to lose half his life. . As long as they can injure or seriously injure one of their pursuers, if this attacking team wants to pursue them again, they will have to make careful calculations.

Black Shou's thoughts were racing, and his heart gradually calmed down. His hundreds of years of experience were not in vain. As the mainstay of a camp, he still has the necessary means. Even now, he is still running away. , have already begun to think about who or which force is behind this attack on him.

Suddenly, a cold murderous intent came from the body, and the mace dragged by Heimao directly blew up a whirlwind, regardless of where there were any figures around at this time.

However, Kuromori's reaction was not untimely, but his opponent was also a powerful enemy in the demigod class. A black lightning suddenly flashed across the back of Kuromori's neck, and the shrill sound of breaking through the air was not even completely heard. The lightning He has already traveled to the distance of the warlock.

The body of the galloping Kuromori gradually slowed down, and the mace he swung slipped from his hand. When Kuromori completely stopped, a sharp dagger was inserted into his huge head, and the sharp dagger tip came from his right side. Pierced from the eye socket, drops of turbid white brains crossed the tip of the sword and dropped to the ground hundreds of meters deep.

Swish! !

The life force completely dissipated from Black Guard, and the ghostly figure that had disappeared for a moment had reappeared in front of Allen and the others. Everyone stopped one after another, nervously holding up their weapons and staring at the opposite side, for fear that the other party would suddenly be violent. He had murderous intentions and silenced them all.

This man was obviously an advanced thief, and his concealment methods were too good. I am afraid that he had been following everyone during his actions, but no one noticed his presence. Although there were only two short attacks now, the timing of each attack was patient and concealed enough that no one in front of me would be able to escape unscathed. This at least proved that the opponent's strength could crush everyone.

He grabbed the ogre's body that was about to fall into the sky, and after looking at Allen and the others with cold and ruthless eyes, the other party slowly said: "The mission is completed, I'm going back first!"

Obviously, these words were said to the elf mage. After saying these words, the figure's hands were empty, and Black Shou's body disappeared directly. It seemed that the other party had taken it into his own dimension. In a flash, the opponent's figure appeared on the ground in front of Heisuo's mace. After picking up the mace, the figure slowly disappeared from everyone's sight and was no longer seen.

"Mission accomplished, everyone withdraw!"

The elf mage didn't raise his head until the assassin's figure disappeared, and slowly said the final words to Allen and his group.

"I will make a fair assessment of the mission reward based on everyone's previous contributions. You can claim it yourself after three days."

After saying this, the opponent waved his staff and a high-level portal opened. He stepped into the portal without hesitation and left decisively.

As the elf mage left, the other companions looked at each other, then each chose a direction, and disappeared into the sky. In the end, Alan and Oscar were left behind, facing each other. .

It was the first time that Allen participated in such an assassination mission. He originally thought it would be very difficult and dangerous, but after he actually started taking action, the target had already disappeared from the world in just about a magic hour of fighting time.

This is a demigod-level powerhouse. With Allen's current strength, he can only look up to the opponent's existence. The strength gap that was almost crushed in several short encounters makes Allen's heart not even a little bit better. The idea is to catch up with the opponent's strength.

But it happened that such a powerful being, with the orderly layout of the Assassin's Guild and the appropriate manpower, was able to kill it easily. The final price paid was just a few of Allen's warriors who charged into the battle. There are only minor injuries to the body.

Of course, Allen also knew that there was a premeditated layout behind the brief fight, whether it was the powerful mystery lock covering hundreds of meters in radius, the restrictions of the three legendary casters, the ax spell, or even Allen and the others. The battles of the warriors made the powerful demigods feel as if their hands and feet had been cut off from the beginning, and they could only use 60% of their 100% strength.

Even so, if the hidden assassin hadn't judged the timing accurately, suddenly struck the assassin and seriously injured the black guard, and cut off the black guard's chance of survival with the final blow, I'm afraid that Allen and his team might not have been able to win. Black guard. In other words, even if the black guard is finally killed, Allen and his nine companions will have to lose several of them to achieve their goal.

"Let's go!"

There was not much excitement in the corners of Oscar's eyes, but a sense of desolation. The body under the mask also conveyed a depressed will to Allen.

As a firm believer in the concept of the natural temple, Oscar actually does not want to see the previous scene of self-injury happen. After all, there are only 5 strong men above demigods in the more than member tribes in the wilderness. Now just because Because of internal fighting, he committed the act of cutting off his own arm, which made Oscar feel regretful no matter what.

If the opponent can fight for the wilderness, it will at least be a powerful deterrent on the battlefield. If he really wants to take action, the destructive power caused by the black guard on the battlefield will definitely be even greater than today. It would be impossible to defeat an army of ten thousand people alone. Formation only consumes a little time. It's a pity that everything can't be as expected. Kuroshou is too concerned about his current short-sighted behavior, which has become an obstacle to the wilderness's self-preservation. In the end, he can only be eradicated and do something about this matter. Maybe he can use it more. utility.

The two of them walked forward in silence, constantly changing directions. After confirming that there were no hidden sentries following them, they landed on a foothold that had been arranged in advance. They entered a natural cave that led to more than ten miles away, and then appeared again. After exiting another cave, we walked slowly in the direction of Mansha City.

Five days later, Allen and Oscar returned to Mansha City, and the moment they entered the city, they already felt a different atmosphere in the city.

Four days ago, in the early morning, when the most prosperous gate in the north of Mansha City opened, a bloody head fell and hung on the gate of the city wall. The unique fangs of the ogre and the unfamiliar cold face made everyone think that it was some bold guy who was just playing a prank at first.

But when a curtain hanging with the ogre's head was opened, and the owner of the head was provocatively introduced in Common Language, the entire city of Mansha was soon shaken.

A dignified demigod was beheaded so quietly. Any person or tribal leader in the wilderness would be shocked. Then they would learn about the black hand behind this incident at any cost. .

Even strong demigods can be attacked and killed, so wouldn't it be more difficult for other strong men and tribal leaders who are not as good as demigods to save their lives? Whether it is for themselves or for the tribe, it is rare that everyone finally reaches a consensus.

The first one to be found was the Assassin's Guild. As the leader in the assassination industry in the Feynman world, there was no doubt that Hei Shou's death held the greatest suspicion. The Assassin's Guild did not deny this, but they said that in addition to suspending the task and sending two legendary strongmen to assist, the truly strongest assassin was sent by the employer. As for the two legendary strong men who accepted the mission, they left the wilderness directly after completing the mission, and no one knew their whereabouts.

For this half-truth and half-false information, the tribes in the wilderness spent a lot of money, but the Assassin's Guild gained a lot of benefits and silent advertising, and at the same time turned the blame back to the real employer.

Who is the employer?

No one knows, the only thing they know is that the other party is an elf mage, and there is also a druid caster among his accomplices. Various signs indicate that this may be an attack from the elves.

As for why the elves attacked the core figures close to the human camp, the most likely reason is that they don't want the wilderness to stop being hostile to human nations? Anyway, as long as there is a suspect, everyone can eventually find countless reasons to explain the suspect's behavior.

For a time, Mansha City fell into the raging fire of hatred, and the camps that were previously close to humans began to boil. They were very uneasy because they had just lost a powerful pillar of strength.

Tribal leaders from other camps are equally uneasy. They are afraid that the elves' actions will stop here, or that they will have other actions to assassinate other tribes.

Only a few tribes from the pro-elven camp spoke up to explain away the elven tribe, but their voices were too weak and seemed so weak amidst the shouts of angry representatives of other tribes. Even in the end, those tribes who were close to the elves no longer dared to speak out, because they found that the eyes of their allies sitting across from them often revealed great resentment and murderous intent when they looked at them.

The clues to be traced continued to be dug deeper, and things seemed to have changed a little. It was said that Kuromori had actually fallen out with the humans because the humans had secretly linked up with another person in power in the clan and tried to challenge Kuromori's dominance.

Kuromori's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, putting more pressure on the human side, so they urgently need to support another supporter. If they want this supporter to inherit Kuromori's dominance, they need to make Kuromori disappear completely. .

At the same time, the elf mage who was supposed to be on his way north accidentally showed his whereabouts on the grassland and was chased by Centaur Generals Ahmed, Oswald and others, but finally allowed the other party to escape. The grassland has entered human territory.

Allen seemed to be watching a big drama. Although he had been in it, when countless complicated information came to him, he was shaken by some of the information he was sure of: the assassination operation they had carried out before. , has he really become an accomplice of mankind?

But in the end, after some calm thinking, Allen categorically rejected this idea, not only because he was deeply involved in the assassination, but he also did not believe that humans would be stupid enough to commit suicide at this critical moment. action comes.

No matter how greedy Black Guard is, he is still an important person in the camp close to humans. Now that the war between humans and the wilderness has just ended, the Temple of Nature is planning to break the deadlock and at least send troops to support the Orc Empire's operations. Black Guard's attitude towards the Wilderness All departments have great influence. To rashly assassinate Black Guard and replace the leader of the Thorn Vine tribe at this time is an extremely stupid move.

But the evidence was before us. After the rebels of the Thorn Vine were suppressed, except for the chief culprit, the Grand Elder, who was directly killed on the spot, the testimonies of many other members of the participating tribes could corroborate the evidence. As for the elf mage who went south, it was accidental that he was noticed. It seemed that the other party did not do it intentionally.

Soon after, the direction of the search suddenly changed. It was said that an accomplice of the elf mage who provided information on the ambush of the demigod Black Guard was eventually captured. Then during interrogation, it was revealed that the real force behind the elf mage was actually the Orc Empire that was in the midst of war. , their purpose of attacking the black guard was very clear, which was to remove the stumbling block that blocked the wilderness's plan to go south...

Allen originally planned to complete this mission, receive his reward, and return directly to the Green Plains. However, the drama in Mansha City was so exciting that Allen was overwhelmed and amazed.

Various intelligences were reversed one after another, sometimes the target became humans, sometimes it was elves... Anyway, all the points pointed to the four major civilizations of the two continents, but it was the real promoter and executor of the natural temple, which attracted the least suspicion, so that Allen couldn't help but speculate that perhaps many of the current information reversals were controlled by the Temple of Nature.

Of course, while watching indifferently, Allen finally received his reward. Unfortunately, the rewards for the tasks assigned by the Assassin's Guild were not low, but what was actually distributed to Allen was only a few jewelry worth more than 10,000 gold coins. , which made him somewhat disappointed.

But after thinking about it carefully, Allen also felt that there was no problem with this distribution. After all, the bulk of this mission should actually belong to the assassin who successfully assassinated the Black Guard. The remaining eight legends were divided among them, and each one could get The value obtained will definitely not be too high.

Allen naturally did not expect that the Temple of Nature, which held high-value tasks, never thought of giving too much reward to the Assassin Guild for accepting tasks from the beginning.

The task of assassinating the demigods of the wilderness needs to be done safely and to ensure that everything is foolproof, so the Temple of Nature must be involved in it and will not rely on others. The ultimate purpose of spreading missions among the Assassin's Guild is just to cover up others' eyes and ears. By the way, the Assassin's Guild's eyes and ears can be used to leak out all kinds of superficial information, completely hiding the beginning and end of the natural temple.

Although the Assassin's Guild is powerful, they still need to respect the gods behind them when facing the Natural Temple, which is backed by the Natural God System. Especially since they are now active in the wilderness and often seem to have no entanglement with the Natural Temple. , In fact, there has always been cooperation with the Natural Temple secretly. In exchange for the convenience provided by the Assassin Guild to the Natural Temple, they can establish guild branches in the wilderness, attract members from the gray area to join, and earn profits.

Therefore, since the Temple of Nature wants to do it personally, no matter how high the reward is, it is actually impossible for those who take the task to get it. On the contrary, the inducement of high rewards will make these guys who take on tasks work harder because of their interests, and at the same time, they will also be more cautious in sealing secrets.

Fortunately, for Allen, the mission reward from the Assassin's Guild was just a windfall, and the real big deal came from a legendary expertise given by the Oak Church.

The Oak Church, which is gradually beginning to decline, values ​​Allen very much. This can be seen when Homer forced Allen to accept the task of assassinating the Black Watch. Now that the secret mission, which was both a test and a threat to Allen, was completed, the next step was to appease Allen's somewhat disappointed heart.

The temple gave Allen several legendary specialties to choose from. Each speciality had a detailed introduction, making it difficult for Allen to choose between these crystals. Rather than letting Allen choose the reward, it is better to say that the Oak Church is showing Allen their background and letting him understand that by following the church, these expertise crystals will eventually be open to Allen.

Perfect physique, legendary combat skills, fatal blows, iron will, super rage... In Allen's view, the effect of each crystal seems to be tailor-made for it. If you can completely master the power of any one of the crystals, Specialty skills, combined with his existing combat expertise, then his legend will no longer be like an empty shell, and he will be able to fight against any legendary opponent.

In the end, unable to make a choice, Allen chose the inheritance crystal of Perfect Physique at Oscar's suggestion.

"If you want to make great progress, then from now on, you need to polish your body. The higher a warrior goes, the higher the physical requirements will be. Without a strong enough body, even if you have Even with great strength, you can’t bring it into full play.”

Oscar explained this to Allen, and Allen was convinced.

After two full-strength attacks with demigods before, Allen was already aware of the fatal problems that arose after he chose the direction of development of legendary expertise. Because of his talent in heavy hitting, Allen chose to go all the way to the end in Explosion, and now it seems to be working well.

The excellence of his talent has allowed Allen to make rapid progress in the training of several legendary specialties. However, in actual combat, his current body is no longer able to withstand the ferocious energy inspired by high-intensity bursts, and the muscles of his body are blessed by several powerful forces. Under the skill, a severe strain will occur every time it is used. If things go on like this, even if you have excellent recovery power and are assisted by magical healing spells and medicines, you may still suffer irreparable damage to your muscles.
