Shadow Covenant

Chapter 17 017 "Swordsmanship Heavy Slash"

"Woo la la woo la."

The familiar appearance of the sahuagin, the familiar murloc language and the sea breeze from Qianfanhai came to Woody's eyes.

He hid in the shadow of the boulder, motionless.

One, two, three... until the seventh sahuagin emerged from the water, Woody still held his breath.

Because he knew that the sahuagin team in the deep shallow sea could not act alone without a leader, especially on land.

And these are all sahuagin hunters in front of them, and there are no individuals with large bodies or holding tridents.

Obviously, the leader of this team has not yet appeared.

Now there are only two possibilities left, either the leader is still in the sea and has not come up.

Either the leader is a sahuagin spellcaster, and he is preparing to communicate with Sekora on the seabed to cast divine spells, giving the group of fellows on the shore buffs, allowing them to last longer on land.

If it's the latter, Woody thinks that tonight's plan may be shelved first, or change places before dawn.

After all, if there is a spellcaster, the risk of fighting is still too high, unless it actively drills out of the water and comes to land.

Otherwise, in the sea, Woody is now a level 1 demon hunter, and he might not be able to beat even the most ordinary sahuagin warrior underwater, let alone a priest who can cast divine spells.

But the sahuagin priests were extra careful. Unless it was raining, they would never put themselves in a dehydrated environment. Even with divine spells, most of their main battlefields were still in the ocean.

Fortunately, Woody guessed that the worst situation did not happen. It was not a sacrifice. The ripples on the gray-blue sea surface gradually expanded, and the creatures hidden under the sea surface gradually separated from the water surface.

Under the moonless night, Woody, who had the dark vision of a demon hunter, could clearly see that the leader of this murloc team was not only slightly larger than ordinary murlocs, but also had an extra pair of arms under his arms.

Mutant sahuagin!

Seeing this, the information he knew flashed through Woody's mind.

Sahuagin mutants are extremely rare. Each sahuagin tribe has to breed an average of 200 ordinary sahuagins before only one sahuagin will be mutated and be blessed by Sekolla, thus gaining the mutant ability.

Not only is it superior to normal murlocs in strength and constitution, but it can also make multiple claw attacks and use additional weapons in addition to its rake and bite attacks.

Woody remembered that in the last life, in the monster illustrated book, there was data about it like this.

"Sahuagin Variant" (Tier [-])

Challenge level 4, personal level 8, with blood talent.

The highest attribute is 18 points, the lowest is 9 points, and the total attribute value is 70-80.

Blood talent: giant shark fury.

Special expertise: multiple attacks, dancing with sharks.

Challenge Difficulty: B+
The sahuagin mutant in front of him had at least a level 5 ranger or fighter occupation level.

But even with five professional levels, it is not something he can face as a level 1 adventurer.

Leapfrog challenges are not uncommon in "Saint", but they will definitely not belong to new professionals who have just started basic occupations.

However, Woody currently has an advantage, that is, this is land, and many of the sahuagin's specialties cannot be used on land, which is also the root of his confidence to stay here.

Whether it is the "blind sense" of relying on the water flow to locate the surrounding creatures, or the underwater familiarity of relying on the water flow and wave attack to "fight with the flow" cannot be fully utilized, the combat power will be reduced by at least three layers out of thin air, and As time goes on, the balance of victory will favor him.

The premise is...he cannot be besieged, and he must grasp the timing.

Even if the demon hunter is different from ordinary people in terms of agility, speed, and strength after taking the potion, it is simply a fantasy to step forward and want to fight more than one with one.

He had to seize the opportunity to reduce the vitality of this team of sahuagin, and then deal with the mutant sahuagin.

And the opportunity is... when they go down to the pothole under their feet to tame the injured "shark"!
Woody's thoughts raced, but his breathing rate was not affected in the slightest. Although the sahuagin were on land, both hearing and nerve reflexes were much slower than those in water.

But it has long been Woody's instinct to suppress all his movements while sneaking.

He seemed to be the shadow behind the boulder, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come, except for a faint yellow light revealed by the gap between his squinted eyelids.

……

The cool sea breeze brushed his cheeks, without the help of the current, Narrows felt that every step he took was [-] times heavier than in the sea.

But as the leader of the team, he naturally couldn't show his timidity in front of his sahuagin brothers.

Therefore, he expended more energy and quickened his pace, trying to find the wandering shark brothers on this coast who were guided by Priest Cavill and who were also a gift from Sekola to the entire tribe.

The soft sand is no longer soft, and the refreshing sea breeze is no longer wet.

the sea!Why is there such a terrain as land?

Every time he went ashore, the feeling that his body was heavy, his speed was slow to death, and he was too slow to wield a weapon made Narrows want to curse the gods who created the land loudly.

Is it not good to let the world belong to Wang Yang?

However, according to Priest Cavell, it seems that there is indeed such a place, which seems to be called "Water Elemental Plane."

It is said that the great god of the hunt, Sekola, lived there.

so good!I wonder if I can go there after I die?I don't know if there is a lot of meat there?How about the sahuagin brothers there?
Its thinking is divergent, but it is not in a hurry, because it still has a lot of time.

When he first came ashore, he closed all the scales and even the inner eyelids tightly, just to prevent the sea water from leaving its body.

It's not good to be dehydrated, it will make it look like a dead fish, a piece of rotten meat, and it can't move its tail.

Huh, fortunately, Naros didn't experience this feeling for long. He and the sahuagin brothers behind him saw the conspicuous puddle on the beach, which was half the size of a coral reef lying quietly on the beach. superior.

There are strange rocks there, and even the top of the puddle has many huge rocks in the shape of clam.

Narrows quickly dragged his heavy body and ran on the beach, ran to the puddle, then dipped his webbed paws into the water in the pool, and then licked it.

Sure enough, in addition to the unique salty smell, there is also the bloody smell that the Cavell priest made it smell - it has been swimming along the smell like this.

Here it is!It seems that the out-of-group shark brother is here!
Praise Sekora!
Naros stopped the sahuagin behind him from wanting to go down with it.

Taming a shark requires skill, and only one-on-one can gain its approval.

Naros didn't want other sahuagin to intervene. In fact, according to his thinking, if he wanted to tame sharks, he would be enough alone, and it would be a burden to have a team follow him.

However, he never disobeyed the order of Priest Carville, after all, who told him to always...

After making a decision, Narrows plunged into the puddle without hesitation. Although the sea water revived it, he was still very upset.

After all, this is not a real ocean, and there is no flow of water.

Let's make it quick!He can't wait for an exciting flipping session with his new shark brother.

How many laps can his shark brother support this time?
Narrows looked forward to it.

What it didn't notice, however, was when the tip of his tail completely disappeared into the puddle.

A human figure quietly appeared behind the huge boulder, and his moving steps were silent. While all the sahuagin were staring at the puddle, he quietly pulled out the steel long sword with the cold starlight behind him.

With the help of the cover of the rocks around the water hole, they approached a sahuagin warrior on the edge of the group.

Raising the long sword, he stepped forward, and then, together with the sword, slashed at the murloc's back and spine.

"The shadow ambush was launched successfully."

"Swordsmanship·Heavy Slash Activated."

"Successfully launched Sword Art · Heavy Slash · 3, causing 14 (+2) points of damage to the target."

"Target is paralyzed."

The alchemy potion made from the heart of the cockatrice that he just drank, made Woody's footsteps feel windy, and the strength in his hands seemed to never be exhausted.

Leaping directly from the rock, facing the back of a sahuagin warrior under the rock, another blow was enough to paralyze it.

Hearing the sound of the sharp blade piercing the bone, the sahuagin holding the bone fork didn't even resist, and fell limply to the ground.

He could only try his best to keep his fish eyes wide open and stare at the human being who suddenly attacked it.

Resentment, unwillingness, and fear spread in its heart.

And Woody still didn't stop, the two swords cut off the spine directly, and the sahuagin who cut off the trunk nerves had no time to make up the knife.

He had to hurry up and deal with the other sahuagin, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with them when they surrounded him.

The blue potion configured by the cockatrice heart completely volatilized in Woody's body, raising his strength and agility to what the item description said.

"The Wrath of the Cockatrice"

"Effect: After taking it, it can improve the agility and nerve response of the demon hunter for a short time, and the corresponding action will get a +3 judgment, and the critical attack will increase an additional 2 points of damage."

"You will gain the quickness of a rooster and the speed of a flying snake. It's good to use it! ——"The Demon Hunter's Good Companion""

Jumping down from a three-meter-high rock, after Woody cut off the spine of the fourth sahuagin in a row, before he had time to wipe off the blood on the long sword in his hand, he found that there were three people standing on the left, right and right in front of him. A burly sahuagin.

Seems to have fallen into jeopardy.

But Woody's crystal yellow vertical pupils glowing with cold light showed no fear at all.

It is no longer the tension and apprehension when first meeting the sahuagin in the past.
