Chapter 223 Coincidence
Perhaps in the ordinary world, night represents peace and rest. But in the dream world, night represents killing.
Of course, the killings here are mainly targeted at players who are active at night.
Click, click...
The night rain fell pattering down, adding a thick curtain to the already dark night.
In this kind of weather, apart from players, few ordinary people would be willing to go out at night like this.
But for those players who go out hunting, rainy nights have become the best cover for their actions.
An inconspicuous shadow slowly bulged slightly from the corner of the wall, revealing a pair of eyes, silently staring at an alien corpse not far away.
"The strength of a third-level wizard apprentice is at its peak. The body should have been dead not long ago, and there may even be some soul remnants..." Lucian swept away his mental power and quickly understood the general situation of the body.
"Unfortunately, some of the magic patterns inside the body that contain the natural witchcraft model have been removed or destroyed, and they are of little value anymore."
Lucian looked at the mutilated corpse with a ram's horn head, shook his head slightly, and after collecting a little blood and body tissue as specimens, he put the corpse into a storage ring, preparing to use it as a reserve for the Crimson Page grain.
And at this moment, a ghost-like figure quietly appeared from not far away. It ran silently. After taking a step, its body fluctuated along some kind of space, and the next second it appeared in Lucian. In front of him, the dagger in his hand drew a ray of cold light, aiming accurately at Lucian's neck.
Quick, accurate and ruthless, silent and hitting the vital point, it can definitely be regarded as a classic attack.
But when the dagger actually cut through Lucian's neck, the assassin shrouded in black robes showed a look of astonishment on his face.
Because he felt as if his dagger had pierced the air. It clearly passed through Lucian's neck, but there was no resistance to cutting the flesh, and he did not see the expected beautiful blood spray.
"Idiot, if it weren't for you, why would I deliberately check a corpse that was abandoned by others?" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Lucian's mouth. He looked directly at the bloodthirsty eyes of the assassin just now, his eyes cold. Harsh and cruel.
"Let's go." The assassin ran away without hesitation, but as soon as he turned his head, he hit an ice shield directly.
Bang--
The shield that was originally used for protection became a wall that hindered the assassin's escape under Lucian's clever arrangement. After the ice shield constructed with this zero-level witchcraft hindered him for a moment, dozens of tough vines emerged from it. Emerging from the ground, these metallic vines quickly intertwined, tightly entangling the assassin.
The densely packed sharp thorns on the vines pierced directly into the assassin's flesh, causing him to wail in pain like a beast.
But the next moment, his wailing stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a deep cut on his head.
"To be so weak, I didn't even use Wizard's Note." Lucian soon felt the rewards brought to him from the dream world. After confirming that the opponent was dead, the vines originally used to restrain the assassin also quickly shrunk. Returning to the underground, only a somewhat bloody corpse was left.
This is a foreign race with obvious beast characteristics. It has a somewhat human body, but it looks more like a cheetah walking upright.
"Huh huh huh, I guess this is the little guy who came out of that unknown little world. I am afraid that only a few of the 'gods' level have been born in those small worlds since their birth. The cultivation system is not perfect at all, and it is more based on its own If one cultivates his talent randomly, it would be strange if he could become stronger..."
Count Thanasis' somewhat groaning voice sounded in Lucian's mind.
"Aren't you already in deep sleep?"
"Talking in sleep." Count Thanasis paused, and after squeezing out the word, he quickly fell into immersion.
The corners of Lucian's mouth twitched slightly, but he did not receive any response from Count Thanasis.
"Go directly to the south. The Mondoc family is over there." After briefly handling the alien corpse, Lucian turned to the south. His body was once again wrapped in the shadow airflow, and he escaped into the shadow and moved forward quickly.
Of course, Lucian would not make his purpose too obvious. After sneaking for a certain distance, he sensed the fighting aura of other players and slightly changed his direction, quickly approaching the two players.
"I am now a hunter who has no emotions, and I carefully kill all the way to the Mondoc family. If there is really a problem with their family, an ignorant hunter like me will not attract much attention from them. However, You still need to worry about the powerful players lurking within the Mondoc family, don’t let them kill you directly.”
Lu Xian quickly went through the battle plan in his heart, and then he speeded up. Under the stunned eyes of the two aliens who were fighting, the Frost Moon Blade created by Frost Blade Dance drew several sad arcs, directly defeating the two aliens whose strength was only at the level of third-level wizard apprentices. "The strength can actually be improved while killing. This feeling of constantly increasing mental power is really intoxicating."
Lucian squinted his eyes, feeling that his mental power quickly became purer under the nourishment of special energy. The structural structure of the star composed of the core of mental power also became more balanced and denser. Under the nourishment, Lucian's consciousness naturally felt a touch of joy.
This kind of pleasure seems to be absent, but it seems to be able to gently tease people's hearts, making people unable to help but recall it. It vaguely makes Lucian want to kill again, let this sultry moment Joy can be experienced again.
"Hmph." Lucian closed his eyes and quickly stripped away this sultry feeling with his mental strength. As a wizard who specializes in spiritual power, Lucian is not afraid of this kind of shallow guidance and psychological hints.
…
On the other side, Hercules had finished his tour and returned to his tent.
However, he did not rest. The information flow in his right eye was not interrupted, and he was monitoring Rafael's every move in real time.
"It's a pity that although Eye of the Sky III has improved its stealth and detection capabilities with the help of my aunt, it is still unable to detect some visual blind spots, nor can it forcefully pass through obstacles to implement, nor can it detect the sounds over there."
There was a hint of helplessness in Hercules' eyes.
When Rafael and the guy dressed as a knight of the Mondoc family walked into a dense forest, the information that the high-altitude eye he had sent out to monitor Rafael could detect became extremely limited. Apart from being sure that they did not leave the dense forest, some other details could not be ascertained, let alone more information about the knight who had secret contact with Rafael.
"Huh?" Hercules suddenly felt that the monitoring screen suddenly became a little shaken, and then the information flow making up the screen became a little chaotic.
"No, something is attacking the Eye of the Sky." Soon, Hercules felt something unusual.
He stood up, and his right eye, which was closely connected to the Eye of the Sky, also showed its mechanically modified appearance. The two machines that were closely connected to each other were linked at this moment, which also allowed Hercules' mental power to With the help of this special connection, it was difficult to reach the Eye of the Sky.
And with the help of mental power as a tentacle, Hercules quickly discovered the culprit who attacked the Eye of the Sky.
They were a group of magical beasts and birds. Their bodies were still surrounded by a layer of demonic energy that had not yet been absorbed into their bodies. It was obvious that they had only been conceived not long ago.
However, it is precisely because of this kind of demonic energy that is constantly escaping to the outside that the Eye of the Sky, which was originally in a state of optical invisibility, was exposed and became the target of attack by this group of magical beasts and birds whose strength is only at the level of second-level wizard apprentices. Living target.
"Damn it." Hercules smashed the table angrily.
This Eye of the Sky can be said to be one of his most precious items. He paid a huge price to ask his aunt to help him refine it successfully. The value of its core components even surpasses that of ordinary third-level witchcraft tools. Even in Hercules' plan, this high-altitude eye will become a part of his body in the future.
But now this precious reconnaissance witchcraft has been attacked by this group of monsters. If it is not recovered quickly, it may cause irreparable damage and destruction.
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Hercules' eyes were filled with anger. He understood that the beasts and birds that attacked the Eye of the Sky should have come from the newly conceived Demon's Nest, and were among the first batch to be conceived. Detect and eliminate "dangerous" sentries around the Demon Nest.
Almost every magic nest will operate like this when it is born, but the coincidence is at this time point.
If he takes back the Eye of the Sky at this time, he will not be able to continue to detect Rafael and the suspicious Mondoc family knight.
But even if he continued to investigate at the cost of giving up his Eye of the Sky, it would be difficult for him to detect any useful images with the interference of these Warcraft birds.
Just like now, the monitoring screen of the High-altitude Eye is already full of these Warcraft birds, and only occasionally one or two gaps can be seen to see the lush forest below.
"Damn it." Hercules cursed in a low voice, but in the end he had no choice but to stop the reconnaissance mode of the Eye of the Sky, and began to escape as quickly as possible despite the siege of this group of warcraft birds.
Yeah yeah yeah...
The warcraft birds screamed like a group of warriors driving outsiders out of their territory.
At this time, they were cheering and "escorting" the Eye of the Sky to leave.
