Path of light

Chapter 311 312. Ambush

In the cold rain, the headhunting captain woke up from his initial panic. He raised his scimitar and slashed it towards Roy's chest.

The shadow of a big demon holding a scythe appeared behind the headhunting captain. The big demon also raised the scythe high, kept the same movement as the headhunting captain, and slashed it towards Roy's body.

In an instant, three ice shields covered Roy. At the same time, Roy raised the scepter emitting holy light in his hand to hold the headhunter's scimitar.

The big demon in the shadow chopped down the giant scythe. The moment it came into contact with Roy, the scythe instantly condensed into a solid body...

The giant scythe struck Roy on the head, splitting a hole in the hard leather helmet on his head. But before the blade of the scythe could touch Roy, it was dispelled by the holy light pouring out of his body. Even the headhunter The shadows behind the captain became dim and almost transparent.

Roy felt like he had been hit hard on the head, and his body fell backward uncontrollably.

Being held firmly by Claire who rushed up from behind, the headhunter captain took half a step forward, took away the long dagger in Claire's hand, and stabbed the two of them with the scimitar.

…

This is the absolute crushing of strength by first-level warriors over ordinary warriors.

Although Roy is a priest and has some magical skills, he is weaker than the Headhunter Captain in terms of strength and speed...

What's more important is that Roy has not yet mastered his own momentum. The headhunter captain just burst out with the power of 'momentum' and gave Roy a head-on blow.

When the scimitar hit the ice shield, its speed slowed down slightly.

There was also a Book of Judgment hanging on Roy's left arm. He held the Book of Judgment in front of him and blocked the pursuit of the Headhunter Captain...

The headhunting captain realized that Roy was not as strong as him. When the scimitar pressed down on the scepter, he took the opportunity to bump into Roy with his shoulder. Behind Roy was Claire, and the scepter in his hand was pressed tightly by the scimitar, unable to avoid it. Can be avoided.

The headhunter captain's shoulder pads with iron spikes just hit Roy's shoulder. With just a full force of impact, Roy and Claire fell backwards at the same time, and they rolled into a ball in embarrassment.

Although the magic pattern structure on Roy's body was fully activated, with the blessing of these reinforcement effects, Roy was still unable to withstand the impact of the headhunter captain...

After Roy rolled several times on the water-filled grass, he struggled to get up from the muddy water.

Claire was also covered in mud and water...

The headhunter captain rushed towards Roy through the muddy water, preparing to stab him and Claire each, and then dealt with them both before going to deal with the giant bear.

At this time, Sabrina and Woods were already fighting with the headhunters, with Woods' huge body in front.

Sabrina held Seluki's sword and slashed a headhunter back...

Only Roy's side looked in danger.

…

The headhunter captain rushed forward to finish the attack, but when the scimitar slashed down, he was blocked again by the Book of Judgment.

Roy quickly recited a spell...

The headhunter obviously didn't understand what Roy was talking about, and he had never fought with a priest before, so he lacked experience in this area.

He was obviously slow to react to Roy's spell.

When he realized something was wrong, a small hammer of Holy Light appeared in front of him. The small hammer flew out from the Book of Judgment.

At this moment, the headhunter captain and Roy were close at hand. The moment the hammer flew out, it was destined that he would be unable to avoid it.

He just had time to turn sideways to avoid the vital points on his chest and head, and the small hammer hit the headhunter captain's shoulder...

The shoulder armor with sharp spikes on his shoulders was hammered to pieces, and the body of the Headhunter Captain also fell backwards.

He stared at Roy with wide eyes, a little confused as to what kind of magic this was...

The battle situation at this moment did not allow him to think too much. When he saw his left arm being hammered down uncontrollably, the headhunting captain gritted his teeth and took a step back. He poured a bottle of magic potion from his waist into his stomach and wanted to pounce again. Roy.

But he only felt a chill coming from his side, and the scimitar in his hand flew out based on his feeling, hitting an ice gun just in time.

The ice gun exploded in front of the headhunting captain, and the ice mist that filled the air instantly blocked the headhunting captain's sight.

Roy quickly pulled Claire up from lying on the ground and retreated to a boulder.

…

A faint shadow flashed in the ice mist, and before the headhunters had time to look at the figure, the shadow disappeared.

If he had been slower to dodge, his thigh would have been slashed by the shadow.

Just now, the headhunting captain even felt a hint of danger.

But before the machete could strike out, the shadow had already disappeared, and there was an extra hole in his trouser armor...

Although his leg was not injured, the headhunting leader broke out in a cold sweat.

Another scream from the headhunters came from behind. Apparently the headhunters he led were in trouble.

The headhunting captain decided to give up on Roy's side. He rushed out of the fog and killed the giant bear...

…

Miss Tiffany stood in the rain, her body soaked by the rain, and appeared from the side of the Headhunter, with a water ball floating above her head.

When the headhunting captain saw Miss Tiffany, he immediately stopped and rushed forward with a machete...

For a water magician, a rainy day is like his own home court.

Miss Tiffany pointed the ice gun in her hand at the headhunter captain. Throw it out directly.

The headhunting captain immediately took a big step forward to the right and knocked the ice spear away with the back of his knife, narrowly avoiding the ice spear.

But he didn't notice the water ball above his head...

It was originally such a rainy day, and there was a large water polo hanging above the head of the headhunter, and the headhunter didn't notice it at all.

The moment the water balloon fell, Miss Tiffany's open palm immediately clenched into a fist.

The moment the entire water polo devoured the headhunter's body, it solidified into ice, freezing the headhunter solidly in it.

However, as soon as the water ball solidified into ice, countless cracks appeared.

Two seconds later, the ice cube that had frozen the headhunter cracked...

The headhunting captain hurriedly moved his somewhat stiff hands and feet. Although he was also paying attention to his surroundings, he didn't notice the black shadow touching up from behind him at all.

A dagger was wiped on the headhunter captain's thigh again. The blade of the dagger accurately followed the gap in the leg armor, leaving a wound on the headhunter captain's thigh.

The headhunting captain continued to retreat...

Moira appeared on Tiffany's side, and Roy and Claire on the other side. The four of them surrounded the elf captain in the center.

The headhunter captain once again assumed an offensive stance, but he found that his feet seemed a little uncomfortable. When he lowered his head, he realized that a thick layer of ice crystals had condensed on his feet at some point.

He took a step forward and almost slipped...

The demonic figure behind him had also disappeared. The headhunting captain was a little flustered. He looked to the left and right with the corner of his eye.

A two-meter-high wave appeared behind Miss Tiffany. As a short spell ended, the wave rushed towards the headhunter captain.

The headhunting captain wanted to split the giant wave with a knife. When the giant wave came into contact with the headhunting captain, the giant wave miraculously condensed into ice again, freezing the headhunting captain inside.

Moira turned into a black shadow and slashed the headhunter's leg twice before disappearing into the rain like a ghost.

Blood dripped from both thighs and mixed with the rain, leaving the legs covered in light red blood...

The headhunting captain finally had the intention to retreat. He looked at his companions and realized that at this moment, the female elf sword dancer had actually forced the last two headhunters to retreat, and the rest were lying in a pool of blood. middle.

The cold rain took away the last bit of blood from the dead headhunters, leaving their entire faces pale...

…

The headhunting captain drank a bottle of reckless potion and felt no pain in his body.

Even if his thigh was cut, it had no effect on him. He turned around and ran towards the rain curtain behind him, but was shot in the back by an ice arrow, causing him to stagger and fall into the muddy water.

Woods, who pulled away and rushed over, put a paw on the headhunter's lower back. Lysander emerged from nowhere and stabbed the headhunter's neck with the hunting knife in his hand.

The ambush ended when Sabrina killed the last headhunter with a sword.

In the messy pile of boulders, with faint blood stains washed away by the rain, the corpses of eight elf headhunters were placed side by side.

The members of the adventure group set up an awning behind a boulder, and all the members hid under the awning to avoid the rain...

…

What the members of the adventure group didn't know was that a fierce battle was taking place in the elf village less than ten kilometers away from them.

The mixed-blood elf hunters from various villages blocked a headhunting team in the small village. Taking advantage of the heavy rain falling from the sky, a group of mixed-blood elves came from all directions outside the village to kill them.

Since the number of half-blood elf hunters was more than ten times that of these headhunters, and it was raining heavily, it was impossible for the headhunters to escape on argali.

Almost all the headhunters have the strength of first-level warriors, and their fighting skills are many times higher than this group of mixed-blood elf hunters. Nearly thirty hunters were injured before these headhunters could be completely eliminated.

There are also four headhunting teams on their way. They all delayed some travel due to rain and failed to reach the village in time.

After the elf hunters surrounded and killed this group of headhunters, they ran into the village to hide from the rain and studied how to ambush other headhunting teams.

…

A simple awning was set up next to the pile of rocks. Unable to find dry firewood, Miss Tiffany took out a fire-gathering scroll, placed it on a stone, and lit a magic bonfire. Everyone gathered around the bonfire. Keep warm.

Roy took the opportunity to heal himself, Woods, Sabrina and Claire. Miss Tiffany, Moira and Lysander were not injured.

"Miss Tiffany, you are so powerful!" Claire said with some admiration.

"It happens to be a very cold rainy day. In such weather, it will be easy for me to release water magic." Miss Tiffany tied up her wet hair and explained.

It was wet everywhere, and everyone's feet were stepping on cold muddy water.

Fortunately, everyone was warming up by the fire, and Roy continued to use the 'secondary healing technique' to treat everyone's injuries.

Roy didn't expect that this battle would end so quickly.

"I thought I would have to pay some price to defeat this group of headhunters. This time we were able to win easily, which is the credit of Woods, Sabrina and Miss Tiffany..." Roy said.

After saying that, he bandaged Woods' scarred arm.

"Are all headhunters on the plateau so powerful?" Roy asked Lesander.

Lysander shook his head repeatedly and said: "These headhunters are just members of the search team, the real headhunters are much more powerful than them!"

"We have to be more careful in our next trip..." Roy said.

When the rain finally subsided a little, Kaka, who was hiding above the clouds, flew down on a gryphon. He found the adventure group on the pile of rocks and found that the ambush was actually over.

Roy obtained some weapons and armor from these headhunters, as well as five argali sheep. Roy planned to give these to Lysander, because Lysander could contact Mu Lin...

In addition, some rough gems and magic cores were also received from them. These headhunters are still very rich. Each headhunter has a money bag with not only some gems but also some magic cores mixed in.

Putting all the magic crystals and raw gemstones in these money bags together, Roy actually harvested more than sixty magic cores, which really made a small fortune.

Then Kaka braved the light rain and flew out to conduct some reconnaissance.

The battle in the elven village has just ended, and mixed elves can be seen everywhere in the village.

Kaka quickly told Roy the news, and Roy realized that he was not the only one fighting in the heavy rain. This was good news, but he didn't know if Mu Lin was among the mixed elves.

But then Kaka detected several headhunting teams around.

"These gem mines should be the remuneration paid by the mine owners to the headhunters!" Lysander came over and said: "They are all not very valuable gems. Now that the Partington plane is still banned, these gems are even more valuable. It’s worthless!”

"The more valuable mine is the one that can dig out moon stones..."

Roy took care of the injuries of several members, and when he sat down to rest, he unfolded a hand-drawn map, and then carefully modified the markings on the edges of the map.

On this hand-drawn map, the Pagisto Plateau is almost a blank space.

Unconsciously, the rain stopped.

After being washed by the rain, the sky and grass on the plateau are exceptionally clean, and some creeks in the valley have expanded many times.

It is extremely dangerous to cross the creek at this time.

The black smoke column over the Elf Village has disappeared without a trace. Kaka brought a piece of news that there is a headhunting team coming towards the pile of rocks...

It is estimated that it will take another half day to arrive here.

Roy originally planned to leave tomorrow morning, but after hearing the news about Kaka, he changed his mind and planned to stay here for half a day longer.
