The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0010 The First Battle in the Jungle

A mage's robe is not suitable for walking through the jungle, so Li Xun changed into linen casual clothes early on, put on buckskin boots, put on a cloak, and carried mosquito repellent herbs in his arms. touch.

Since the thieves chose to ambush there, it meant that they were not too far from their lair.

Li Xun had already turned on his soul vision, scanning his surroundings vigilantly. When the tall trees completely blocked the possible line of sight, Li Xun summoned 5 skeleton warriors and ordered them to spread out in battle formation, 3 in the front, 1 in the rear, 1 in the back, and slowly marched into the depths of the forest.

Because of the thieves' gang, no Orion dared to come to the Whispering Forest, which was convenient for Li Xun.

The forest is deep and deep, and it is easy to lose your way when walking through it. Li Xun directed the team to a small hillside that they had identified earlier, and when they got there, they could easily recognize the next sign.

In the soul vision, I saw faint red spots of some small animals from time to time, and ran away quickly after discovering Li Xun's team. Li Xun didn't chase after him, and went straight to the hillside.

When the hillside came into view, Li Xun stopped and scanned the top of the hillside. There are 5 red spots that are different from the previous ones, 4 red spots are gathered behind the rocks behind, and 1 red spot is alone in the shadow of the forest at the top of the slope.

sentry? It's only 3 miles to the edge of the Whispering Forest. Can the Bandit Group begin to set up sentries? The thieves group is very vigilant!

Relying on the vision of the soul, Li Xun did not use the mage armor and decided to run naked on the battlefield. After all, the magical aura of the Mage Armor is too dazzling in the dark forest. Although the Mage Armor is safe, it has become the biggest monster attractor. But if you don't open the mage armor, if a thief or a ranger shoots you with an arrow, it will be a lot of fun. I will become a negative teaching material for mages to cast spells, and the most stupid mage who dares to run naked on the battlefield. But now with soul vision, it is very different. I have never seen a thief or a ranger who can obscure the light of my soul.

A group of thieves hiding in the forest and robbing houses would at most recruit some wandering thieves and rangers. It was impossible for senior professionals to be willing to do this short-lived business. As for low-level thieves and rangers, as long as they can't get close, they don't have many ways to attack themselves.

After thinking about it, Li Xun used the cover of the trees to guide the skeleton warriors to move forward slowly along the blind spot of the red dot.

The place where the red dot is located is a bush, and there is a vaguely visible figure crouching on the grass felt on the ground, wearing a camouflage cloak, looking up from time to time to peek at the forest under the hillside. The bushes were about 30 meters away from the four red dots behind, and there was a huge rock in the middle. Li Xun estimated that there should be a den behind the rock, and the people inside were probably sleeping soundly. After all, it's just dawn, and the time is right, those who have been on the night shift will definitely not be able to sleep, and this one who is in charge of the lookout is a new shift. If you kill the watcher quickly, the other 4 can easily be blocked in the den.

After estimating the distance, I was about 15 meters away from the lookout. Li Xun leaked half of his face from behind the big tree, silently preparing a spell, and with a movement of his soul, a skeleton warrior who protruded forward no longer covered his body, and walked directly in front of the hillside, making a soft "click, click" sound unique to bone friction .

The lookout in the bushes was startled. He lowered his head to listen to the movement, and then slowly raised his head to look down the slope. Before he could understand the situation, there was a scream from the side, and the magic arrow was hitting his head, and his brain was pierced immediately. The corpse twitched a few times and then remained silent.

With a big wave of Li Xun's hand, the three skeleton warriors quickly rushed into the bushes, while he stared at the four red dots behind the rock. Fortunately, there was not much movement, and the four red dots did not respond. Li Xun directed the skeleton warrior to cover the blood on the watchman's body with soil, and then touched behind the rock.

I crouched behind the rock and took a look. Sure enough, there was a small thatched hut in the shadow of the lee behind the rock, and 4 red dots were inside the house. Li Xun didn't delay, and the four skeleton warriors rushed straight to the wooden door of the thatched cottage. As soon as they reached the door, a piercing scream sounded from the skeleton warrior's feet.

Li Xun narrowed his eyes, "Magic alarm", it seems that there is at least one ranger inside. Taking advantage of the sound, before the inside reacted, three skeleton warriors broke through the wooden door and rushed in, while the remaining one stood guard at the door. But Li Xun didn't show his figure, and still hid behind the rock to command remotely.

There was a muffled sound, mixed with shouts, and accompanied by the hiss of the knife cutting into the flesh, the thatched cottage shook violently. Two red dots went out quickly, and one red dot was still wandering around the house, but it was a bit dim. Only the brightest red dot slammed into the door and got into a fight with the skeleton warrior guarding outside.

Li Xun peeked at him, he was a tall and thin man in disheveled clothes, with a bow and no arrows in one hand, and a short dagger in the other to barely parry. The arm holding the bow was bloodstained, and it was obvious that it could no longer be lifted. It should be the ranger who placed the "magic alarm".

The tall and thin man dodged the attack of the skeleton warrior, and only then did he see clearly who was attacking him. Oh my god, it's actually an undead creature! What's going on here, why are there undead creatures in the Whispering Forest? Before he could figure it out, there was a miserable hiss in the thatched cottage, and another companion died. The tall and thin man immediately became anxious. As soon as he woke up from his sleep, his shoulder was slashed. Before he understood the situation, all three of his companions died tragically. .

Before he could see the direction clearly, a black light penetrated into his body, and he immediately knelt down on the muddy ground with his legs and feet limp, and the bone knife of the skeleton warrior opposite him chopped down with the sound of wind.

The tall and thin man let out a scream and collapsed on the ground. The bone knife of the skeleton warrior stopped in front of his forehead and did not fall. Then two more skeletons came up and held his hands.

Just as he was panicking, a cloaked man and a skeleton turned out from behind the rock. The cloaked man was wearing a hood, and his whole body was completely wrapped in the gray cloth cloak. He walked up to the tall and thin man, murmured a few words, and pointed his finger on his forehead. The tall and thin man shook for a while, his eyes blurred for a while, gradually lost focus, and became dull.

Li Xun gave orders, and several skeletons moved together, dragged all four corpses to the mud behind the thatched house and buried them, while he found a dry stone and sat down and began to question the tall and thin man.

After suffering the Curse of Weakness and Charming Humans, the tall and thin man answered all Li Xun's questions honestly. Li Xun snapped his fingers, and the two skeletons dragged the tall and thin man to the newly dug earth pit behind the house. After a short hiss, the only sound left was the rustling of earth and rocks rolling down. Li Xun sat on the stone and rested his chin, thinking about the information just now.

The old lair of the Bloodaxe Bandit is less than 10 miles away from the ambush valley, that is to say, 17 miles away from the edge of the Whispering Forest. The good thing is that Li Xun doesn't have to run too far, but the bad thing is that he is too close to the edge of the forest, and it will be easy to be discovered by the outside world when he builds a cemetery castle in the future. Forget it, before killing the blood axe, I still don't have to have a headache because I didn't eat the meat in my mouth.

Looking at his own experience points, 5 humans gave him 60 experience points: 4 ordinary people 40 points, level 1 ranger 20 points, it seems that the soul strength of professionals is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Astali? Blood Ax is obviously not a smart person. If he was a smart person, he wouldn't fight the local lord out of hatred. But he was very cautious. Since he kidnapped Sir Hanwick's youngest son, he had set up guard posts in several dangerous positions in the woodland, and the one he attacked today was one of them.

There are 5 people in each sentry post, and they rotate every three days. Since this small hillside is facing a forest path that hunters often walk, a level 1 ranger is specially sent. Due to the reckless fight with the Principality's army, nearly 200 people were killed and injured by the bandit group. Although more than 100 people were recruited halfway, the team was still very uneven, with only about 730 people.

In addition to the level 9 berserker Astali? Blood Axe, there are two level 7 berserkers and a level 6 thief. Even the level 1 ranger who just died in Li Xun's hands is considered a high-end force. Personal talent is highly valued by Astelli Bloodaxe.

Blood Ax's lair is stationed on a low hill, surrounded by steep and difficult roads, with only one mountain road in front, it is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The top of the mountain is very flat and open. It has been operated by the Blood Ax Thieves Group for several years. They built camps with wood and surrounded the entire mountain. It's been a good time. Sir Henwick's youngest son was imprisoned somewhere behind the top of the hill. It wasn't that Astari Bloodaxe didn't want to kill him, but he was planning to use him to open the castle gate when he was looking for an opportunity to attack Sir Henwick's castle.

Someone should change the guard at this observation point one day later. Should I wait for a sneak attack or transfer to another guard post? Li Xun thought silently.
