Shadow Covenant

Chapter 162 "Support"

But no matter how hard Woody tried, facing the continuous dying struggle of the Abyssal Ape Demon, he had no choice but to let go of the knife handle that had slipped to the center of its eyebrows, lost his balance under the swing, and fell heavily to the ground.

It has to be said that the vitality of the abyss demon is the most powerful he has ever seen. Even if there is a [-] cm long gash between the eyebrows, Woody, who is sore all over, can't help being surprised by the abyss. The struggle of the ape demon.

In just a short while, the roofs of the three huts have been raised, and there are seven or eight half-meter-deep pits on the ground. Yes, it's like the whole area has just been hit by a tornado.

"No, I can't kill it! Impossible, the brain is the most vulnerable part besides the devil's heart..."

Looking at the abyssal ape demon who lost his mind due to pain and crazily destroyed everything in front of him on the long street, Woody was a little apprehensive at first, but then shook his head resolutely. In addition to the death resistance characteristics of most demonic creatures on the main material plane, as long as the heart or brain is injured, death will happen sooner or later, without exception.

Finally, the crazy abyssal ape demon seemed to have reached its limit, the blood flowed wantonly, and the body exuding steaming heat suddenly froze, and the left leg that barely supported the body also knelt on the ground together with the disabled right leg. The ton-heavy body collapsed, splashing dust and gravel, blood soon flowed out like a spring, and the shallow pit turned into a blood pool.

Just like that, its whole body was lying on the already dilapidated long street, how high-spirited it was just now, and how embarrassing it is now.

However, Woody, who was suffering from a sore back and injuries to his thighs and body, did not approach, because the familiar data still did not appear in the retina.

It's not quite dead yet!

No matter how weak its breath is or how much blood it bleeds, he will never approach it hastily. After all, now that he has lost two demonized weapons, if he approaches it, he will only have a dead end.

Finally, under Woody's "watching with cold eyes", the critically injured abyssal ape demon finally raised his head, opened those gloomy blood-red eyes, and roared in Woody's direction full of unwillingness.

Then the raised head fell heavily, but the eyes full of resentment remained closed until death.

But it wasn't over yet. A second later, the dead abyssal ape demon was resurrected again.

But what was resurrected was not flesh and blood, but an ape-like skeleton that was visible to the naked eye broke free from the dead flesh and blood. It stood up again, and instead of facing Woody, it looked up at the place of stars. That is the world outside Asenland, the Outer Plane, the place of the bottomless abyss.

Under the stars in the sky above the forest town, this huge white skeleton with still bloodshot eyes was stepping forward. After three steps, this four-meter-high ape skeleton in the shape of looking up at the starry sky, under the witness of Woody, Every inch turned into powder, and then collapsed.

Dust dances like fireflies as a gust of evening wind blows through the forest.

In the silent night, there are little fluorescent lights.

At this time, the data quietly appeared in Woody's retina.

——"The air strike was successful! &..."

——“要害成功命中！目标每秒钟损失15（+3）点流血伤害&……你的曲剑对目标造成35（+7）点穿刺伤害&……「风暴之威仪」效果发动…&你的攻击额外附加1点雷霆伤害&……”

——"The cumulative damage is 315 points & the target is dead."

——"Successfully killed the abyssal ape demon...you got 1570 experience points"

...&
The experience value of the Abyssal Ape Demon directly boosted Woody's experience bar by more than one-third. Coupled with the flying apes hunted tonight and the gains from the Underdark Region, the level-up experience required by a sixth-level demon hunter is already [-] It's just around the corner, and it is estimated that another ape demon will be able to upgrade.

However, he is not in the slightest of excitement now, but stares dumbfoundedly at the place where the Abyssal Ape Demon fell just now, because in addition to the disappearance of the bones just now, the flesh and blood of the Abyssal Ape Demon has also turned into a faint body at a speed visible to the naked eye. The gray boulder with a humanoid silhouette is inlaid with the broken ground. Only the weapon in its hand and the damaged armor are still intact and have not been petrified.

"Fuck!"

But Woody, who has the spirit hunting oath, couldn't help but swear, but there was nothing he could do.

Because he knows that this is a typical rejection reaction of the plane after the death of a demon, just like after the death of Balor, it will explode in blinding fire, which will destroy its body and scream its soul Sent to the bottomless abyss.

The same is true for ape demons. Only in a small number of cases, this summoned alien demon will die like a creature on the main material plane.

The only consolation is that its booty is still intact, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Woody quickly sorted out his inner emotions and turned the loss into the motivation to move forward. However, he did not rush up to collect the spoils, but turned his attention to Cecil who was casting a spell at the clock tower of the town not far away.

At this time, the target of her hostility has already changed, from a violent ape the size of a house to a black flying ape with black wings and slightly taller than a human. It also holds a handful of refined iron in its hand. Machete, but judging from the hair and breath on its body, this flying ape is more mature and fierce than the flying ape that Woody killed earlier. It is worth mentioning that it is also blind in one eye.

This should be the one-eyed Sebastian that the guards of Green Creek Town were talking about just now.

Woody thought silently in his heart.

What surprised Woody was that this flying ape was far from the mighty one that the guards of Green Brook Town said.

Because the picture presented in front of his eyes is that under the staff waving in Cecil's hand, the famous one-eyed Sebastian in the Whispering Forest is like a fighter plane in a flying shooting game, facing the magic missile like a waterfall Bombardment, it is constantly swinging from side to side, obviously has the means to fly, but in front of Cecil, it can't even get closer to one meter.

"This is the staff that stores how many magic missiles..."

Woody was stunned, and the flying ape Sebastian over there was also miserable. The original anger of revenge against humans had already been transferred to the priest of the man-eating ape tribe.

"I didn't tell it before I did it, there is a spellcaster here."

"There is really no one in this group of terrestrial orangutans!"

Every magic missile that failed to evade hit it, grinning its teeth and suffering endless pain, but it also admitted that if it wasn't for the energy protection shield that the man-eating ape sacrificed to the old guy, it wouldn't be able to last so long , but there is no way to go on like this, the only assassin they can rely on is also solved by one of their humans.

It passed its thoughts to the man-eating ape priest who had been hiding in the dark of the forest behind him, but the response he got was yes.

"Hold on a little longer."

"Just wait a little longer!"

"I will send the Man-Eating Pioneer and the Ranger Squad, and the Slave Legion to help you cover! That squad will also come to help you! They will work for the money!"

Soon, with a deep ape cry, more monsters emerged from all directions of the town. Their eyes were red and their saliva dripped. They looked at the guards on the wall not far away and the town with greed and longing. Among the residents, even in the darkness, there are thin figures with bags on their backs who are moving forward in an orderly manner relying on the woods.

……

On the other side, footsteps sounded from the other side of the long street.

The caravan guard who used the Northern Wind Battle Formation to deal with Baron Cam appeared in front of Woody. This is a bold northern man. In addition to his arms protruding like hills, he also has a beard that hangs down to his collarbone. , behind him was a group of blood-stained guards from the business group, obviously also experienced a fight.

"His Royal Highness Cecil asked me to come to support you! Where are the monsters!"

He saw Woody who was slightly tired and was pouring holy water into his mouth, but he didn't see the monster, so he asked with some doubts.

"It's already lying there!"

Woody pointed to the abyssal ape magic stone that had been turned into a rock, and continued to take out a bottle of holy water for restoring blood volume while pouring it, and said.

"Don't help me, it's already been resolved, but how is the situation in the town now?"

Look at the "+1, +1" in the data.

Woody also asked about the situation in Green Brook Town quite leisurely. He couldn't intervene in Cecil's situation just now, so the only choice he had was to recover slowly, so as not to be incapable of fighting in the next battle.

"After you left just now, all four walls were ambushed."

The familiar-looking guard who seemed to be called Sengu sized Woody up, then glanced at the abyssal ape demon that turned into stone, as well as the scattered armor and black long knife nearby. Slow down and explain carefully.

"The city wall to the north of the town is broken, but people have been sent to solve it, and it should be able to seize it back soon."

"By the way, thank you!"

"Without you, the safety of His Highness Cecil..."

The following words are self-evident, and other people also showed expressions of gratitude. After all, when the caster needed protection most, their guards were not there. If it wasn't for this traveler who got on the bus...

"It's easy for me, and your Highness is not as fragile as you think."

"I don't think she has half of her strength yet."

Woody smiled unconcernedly, he didn't save a spellcaster with his actions, and I'm afraid neither side has used the real ultimate move. After all, they have theoretically mastered the spellcasting of the supermagic feat of double casting Or, there is no reason not to know the simplest and easiest to master "hyper-ring spellcasting" among mages.

Just like Cecil's current caster level is 13. In the real panel, the highest level of spells she can release is seven rings. If you add the super magic specialty "Super Ring Casting", it can be used at a higher level Eight-ring spell.

Among the eight-ring spells, the most famous ones are naturally the famous "Yang Yan Blast" and "Burning Cloud Spells" that have destroyed the prestige of several cities.

That's why Woody didn't think about intervening after solving the abyssal ape demon. With his strength, he might be able to resist the scare technique of the abyssal ape demon. Struggle, I'm afraid it will be like that rabid ape, who doesn't know where the body is.

"No matter what, you helped His Highness Cecil, we should thank you!"

The barbarian from the North laughed and said indifferently.

And looking at his smile, Woody also guessed that the night attack might not be too stressful, that is to say, the situation was not the worst, but it was a little tricky.

If that's the case, then it's easy to handle!
Woody took a look and was still casting spells, but when he was surrounded by several attendants who were also wearing magic robes unconsciously, he knew that the battle might have reached a feverish stage, but he didn't need himself here, so he directly asked that The guard of the Nudong caravan.

"The abyssal ape demon here has been solved, let's go to support other places!"

"no problem!"

"Hahaha, I haven't chopped enough yet! I haven't had a good drink today, and monsters can't make me unhappy anymore!"

Sengu, the guard of the north, nodded boldly when he heard Woody's words.

Naturally, Woody didn't have any objections. He joined Sengu's team, and the team quickly headed towards the outskirts of the town.

There are still a lot of uncleaned monsters wandering outside Green Creek Town, which will be a huge amount of experience points, and just now he has more than 1800 experience points from killing the abyssal ape demon. Now he just needs to clean it up carefully. At night, it is estimated that you will be able to gain the experience of upgrading to level 6 demon hunter.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time they are acting together. Although they will share their experience, they cannot stand up to the large number of monsters, and the more people there are, the safer the action will be.

In future adventures, such large-scale actions and actions to eliminate monsters may be rare, so Woody naturally has no reason to refuse or even escape. Seizing the opportunity and working hard to improve the level is what he should do in this time period matter.

Otherwise, why would he join the business group? Apart from being able to camp in the wild with more peace of mind, isn't it just that he can safely get a share of the pie when planning such a large-scale operation.

In the previous life, there were special good people who counted whether it is faster to upgrade alone or in a team. It also distinguishes various occupations, but most of the final conclusions are that team formation is more efficient. Weaken three-quarters, or even more experience points, but the killing efficiency is not at the same level at all.

For example, if Woody, the abyssal ape demon, was dealt with just now, instead of just one person, but a fifth-level team with the same configuration, which just meets its challenge level of 5, then it is estimated that only about one-fourth of the resources per person will be needed to easily deal with it. To solve it, you don't even need to be injured. Whether it's the control of the caster, the containment of the ranger, or the attraction of the warrior, Woody doesn't need to use such fancy methods to deal with this ape demon.

Just find an opportunity, go down with a knife, and you can end the battle if you get stiff.

Why do you jump left and right like this, doing all these fancy things...
