Chapter 197 The Enemy of the Dark Forest Next
"Who?"
Leon shouted angrily, and his whole body jumped up like a strong crossbow full of strength, rushing towards the dark jungle not far away.
The whole camp was immediately shocked, and the mercenaries came out of their tents one after another. Although they were sleepy, they all picked up their weapons.
Camping in the secret forest, they may face danger at any time, so they will not take off their armor when they sleep, and their weapons will be at hand. Once something happens, the mercenaries can be ready to fight as soon as possible.
The old lion Gucci did not follow Leon to search for the enemy, but rushed to the tent where the shaman lived as quickly as possible, guarding the soul armor to prevent the enemy from attacking the shaman.
On this side, Leon rushed into the jungle with lightning speed. The cover of the vines and trees made the darkness here so thick that it seemed that even the light could not penetrate, but those who disturbed the flying insects in the grass told Leon where the enemy was.
Many of these insects can emit extremely faint light. They are fireflies in the dark, and the fluttering light spots are undoubtedly the best guide.
Sing! Sing!
The enemy lurking in the dark realized that his whereabouts were exposed and immediately intercepted Leon.
The unknown sharp blade flew through the air, emitting a trembling and strange low roar, and could not capture the trajectory of its attack in the dark.
Leon's reaction was extremely fast. He raised the Lei Yan sword to protect his chest. He only heard a crisp sound of "Ding". The sparks of the metal impact flashed, and a flying blade was blown out.
But another sharp blade brushed his shoulder, leaving a short scar on the soul armor of the body.
Assassin? Scolding? Leon Tiger's cold eyes flashed, relying on the feeling that he judged that the opponent was shooting a hidden weapon like an arc blade flying knife.
And this is definitely not the style of the Bemon warrior. It is a sharp weapon that human assassins or scouts like to use to intercept sneak attacks.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Leon's mind like lightning, but his movements were not slow at all. His left hand patted his waist and instantly pulled out four thorns, shaking his hand and shooting at the enemy's position.
This is called eye for eye for tooth. The enemy completely exposed the trace while intercepting Leon.
Oh! Huh! Huh!
The black horn is more quickly and hidden than the arc blade flying knife. Only the thunder attached to it can be dimly recognized, but when you see the thunder, I'm afraid you have already been hit by it.
Poo! Puff! Puff!
The dull sound of breaking sounded, and at least three thorns hit the target. The enemy in the dark obviously did not expect that Leon had such a strong means at all. There was no time to use the means of counterattack, and he hurriedly retreated to the depths of the jungle.
A really good scout's first reaction when he is found should be to retreat. The lurker obviously despised Leon's strength, thinking that he could make Leon suffer a big loss by relying on his hidden weapon, and he could escape calmly.
He undoubtedly made a huge mistake.
While the edge thorn hit the enemy, Leon stepped heavily on the entangled vines on the ground, and his whole body took advantage of his strength to sweep up again. Lei Yan's sword drew a gorgeous flame trajectory in the air and cut straight to the fleeing shadow.
The brilliant light of the knife tore the darkness, illuminating the scene within dozens of feet around. The lurkers had no place to hide and were completely exposed to Leon's sight!
The lurker is tough and thin, wearing dark green tight leather armor, holding a dagger and a short crossbow, and a standard scout costume.
There is a layer of dark blue light protection outside his body, which is neither a soul armor nor a mana shield.
The sudden light surprised the scout of the obviously human race. He realized the terrible power after his arrival and hurriedly changed his direction and rushed to the bushes on the other side.
While dodging, he threw his left arm back, and his left hand opened and shot two arc blades to slow Leon's attack.
It is undeniable that this scout's adaptability is commendable - if there is no previous mistake, he is fully capable of escaping.
But now that he wants to leave, it also depends on whether Leon agrees or not.
In the face of the two arc blades flying, Leon did not look at the left hand waving out. Relying on the strong defensive ability of the body protection soul armor, he snapped one of them and carried the other.
The sharp knife did not decrease at all, but slightly deflected the direction and roared straight down, which could hit the scout's left shoulder.
With a knife, the heart is condensed. No matter what tricks the other party has, the knife will not be closed!
Leon's attack is largely in line with the meaning of knife skills. This knife is perfect in terms of strength, speed and momentum. Although the scout tried his best to dodge, he still did not escape the disaster of a knife.
The knife light containing the power of powerful flame elements ruthlessly cut off the thin layer of fighting air protection outside the body.
Poo!
The knife flashed, and an arm fell straight to the ground.
"Ah!"
The seriously injured scout let out a low scream, and he was also brave. In such a situation, instead of continuing to escape, he suddenly turned around and stabbed Leon's neck with a dagger clenched in his right hand.
The dagger is blue, and the tip reveals an inch of arrogance. The fighting spirit of the human race and the soul power of Bimon have the same power, and the power of the scouts to fight back must not be underestimated.
However, Leon, who was able to get a knife, was not negligent. When he saw the scout turning around and stabbing the dagger, he did not hesitate to raise his right leg and kick it sideways, and then kicked the scout's abdomen first.
One inch long and one inch strong. If the scout holds a long sword, he will definitely be able to stab Leon first. Unfortunately, his dagger is shorter and his figure is not as tall as Leon.
The dagger shining with fighting spirit stopped at a position half a foot away from Leon. The scout bowed and fell out, crashed into the bushes behind, and couldn't even climb up.
"Leon!"
"Thunder! Are you all right?"
There were hurried footsteps behind Leon, and the members of the Holy Blade rushed over one after another.
A circle of milky white aura bloomed in the dense forest, and the dazzling light shone around as bright as day. It was the lighting spell released by the shaman, which helped the mercenaries immediately find Leon's place.
"It's the scout of the human race..." Leon pointed to the bushes in front of him and said, "I was injured."
The two warriors immediately rushed over like wolves, ready to arrest the seriously injured scouts.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the scout raised his dagger with a smile, poked it hard in his chest and pierced his heart!
He raised his head and his eyes were at a loss. His body twitched and his arms slipped down, and there was no sound.
The mercenary who rushed over shook his head helplessly and stopped.
It's really cruel! Leon's heart was awe-in-heartened, and the fierceness of the scout was beyond his expectation.
The existence of a scout must represent the existence of an adventurous team. The general strength of the other party can also be judged from the performance of this scout.
The existence of such a very likely unintentioned human team is undoubtedly a great threat to the Holy Blade.
However, due to the scout's suicide, Leon can't judge whether his prying into the divine blade is an unintentional encounter or a deliberate surveillance. The surnames represented by the two must be different.
Other team members are also aware of this problem. Everyone's expression is not very good-looking. If their actions fall into the other party's sight early on, it will be dangerous.
"Don't rest from now on, be ready to fight!" Odnez, who came later, said in a low voice, "Everyone be vigilant and be careful!"
"Kaka, go and search for the body to see if you can find out his identity."
Everyone returned to the temporary camp, and the two warriors went around and cut more wood to burn the bonfire more vigorously.
And Fei Li quietly hid in the jungle and took on the task of peripheral vigilance.
Leon noticed that Odnez was not worried about his daughter's separation alone, and he obviously had full confidence in her strength.
Kaka quickly took back the items seized from the scouts of the human race, with a lot of weapons, dry food and even coins.
Odniz took out a silver badge from a pile of things. He carefully recognized the pattern text on it and thought for a moment and said, "Goursen's mercenary team should be an angry fortress from the human race. I don't know if their appearance is related to our mission."
Nulan Fortress is the closest stronghold of the human power to the sphere of influence of Bimon. Human adventurers who come out of Nulan Fortress often fight against conflicts in the secret forest.
Most importantly, the Nulan Fortress and the Wild Fortress are not far from the ruins of Gosass.
The situation seems to have become complicated! Leon turned his head and looked at Gongo, who was huddled aside. He felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something. This task may not be very simple.
"Anyway, we will try to get to the ruins of Gossas before tomorrow. If the danger exceeds expectations..." Some of Odniz's fierce eyes also fell on Gongo: "I will give up the task."
A real mercenary team will not take the lives of the team members to take risks. Odnez is definitely not a fooling role.
Gongo lowered his head, did not dare to look at Odeniz's eyes, and did not object.
For a moment, the camp fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Leon coughed and took out the wooden box he was going to give to the old lion from his pocket, which was full of the best cigars.
"Is this a cigar?" The old lion actually recognized it and said in surprise, "This is an exclusive product of the aristocracy!"
"Who said that only nobles can smoke?" Leon smiled and distributed cigars. Of course, Odeniz and others would not refuse his kindness.
In the long second half of the night, accompanied by the bonfire, passed silently, and no more enemies appeared.
The sky is not yet fully dawned, and the sacred blade is back on the road.
