Shadow Covenant

In the original copy of the Lost Temple, the Skeleton Snake never appeared in the Botanical Garden. Countless speedrunners have tried various speedrunners to pass through the place where the black dragon currently lives without disturbing the Skeleton Snake.

But now at the botanical garden, the inspiration behind nature is self-evident. When Woody quickly brought the seed of life to join Cecil and the others, without him saying anything, Kafferman's sharp reminder sounded in time, and he was in a panic. The figure descended from the towering trees.

Nearly [-] years old, he looked extraordinarily vigorous when he fell, quite a spirited little old man.

And Ruiya, who rushed over to help him, looked like his granddaughter.

"Something is coming towards us, shit, damn it, it's those undead bone snakes, I don't have many silver arrows, have you brought holy water?"

According to Woody's description, Kaverman didn't have too much fear of the skeleton snakes. He encountered undead creatures many times during his travels. In fact, most of these skeletons are better than creatures in nature. They deal with a lot. Of course, this is limited to those low-level undead. If they are high-level vampires and undead knights, they will be quite difficult to deal with. They have thick blood and high defense. Under favorable circumstances, they can get rid of the same challenge level by a block.

Of course, it would be quite comfortable to have restrained weapons, whether it is silver weapons or holy water, items full of positive energy, it is not easy to deal with this group of dark guys, but for the unprepared team, then It's a nightmare on Nightmare difficulty.

"Here, I still have a few bottles here."

Woody who rushed over nodded to Cecil first, indicating that the seed of life had been obtained, and then directly threw out a bottle of holy water prepared in the dimension ring. This thing has a wide range of applications in the wild, not only for Heal injuries, relieve pain, and can also be used to smear on weapons. A simple enchantment can add a little extra holy light damage, which is the most disgusting undead creature.

After Kaufman took it, he immediately picked up the arrow and began to apply it. There was not much time left for him. As a ranger, he couldn't just pick up the weapon and slash directly like Woody. Enchanting is also very simple. You can use your hands at will Just put a layer of water on the blade, but most of the arrows need to be soaked, otherwise, the effect will be biased, which is naturally unacceptable to Kaverman, who uses archery as the main output method.

"Do you need me to do it?"

Cecil took the initiative to ask, although she used a lot of spells today, she still has enough spell slots.

But considering that there will be a fierce battle ahead, Woody still shook his head and said.

"Go to the high platform, don't come down later, leave the rest to me."

Woody thought and thought, and before Cecil turned around, he added another sentence.

"Don't do anything until the black dragon appears. Be careful. It is a wanderer and will avoid sight. Don't be approached."

"That's ok, I know, I won't do anything until the black dragon appears, and you should be careful, as for me, the invisible guard is always by my side, not to mention that I still have a trigger technique that is useless, it can't get close to me. "

But even though he left, Cecil still added many buffs to him, such as the elegance of a cat, and the wisdom of an owl... However, under the influence of dragon veins, the effects of these spells are not as strong as before. The explanation in the game is that +20 attribute value can be guaranteed before 2 attribute points, but if your attribute value exceeds 20 points, then it will be diluted proportionally. The higher the attribute, the higher the dilution degree.

Woody reckoned that he had only improved a little bit, but it was considered a very good improvement.

Watching Cecil, who lifted the mage robe and moved towards the light source of the central tower in the jungle, Woody felt the warmth from his chest and sighed secretly, thinking about her ending again.

But this time is obviously not the time to think too far.

boom!
With an extremely violent sound of the trunk cracking, the white camphor tree surrounded by three people fell down in response. The shadow on the ground suddenly lost a large piece, but it was quickly filled by a huge snake shadow. Looking up, I saw A giant bone snake with a height of three to four meters appeared impressively when the upper body stood upright, and then several decayed snake shadows of the same height were filled behind it, or twisted and hovered above the trees, or walked close to the ground, turning into undead The process still didn't make them lose their original forward posture as feathered snakes, and they looked nimble and majestic. If it weren't for the more or less decayed snake scales and minced meat hanging on the ribs and spine, it would be hard to imagine The group in front of them is a group of snakes with evil meaning.

At this time Ruiya was also stunned, her voice trembled a little after she heard the sound and saw the appearance of the giant snake.

"This is the sacred remains of the Feathered Serpent! That evil black dragon used dirty spells to defile the cemetery of our sacred Feathered Serpent King!"

Speaking of this, Ruiya's face turned pale. Although she heard that Woody said that the land of sinking may have undead, she never thought that the so-called undead were the owners of the tombs of heroes buried in their temple.

Although Woody wanted to complain, you only know now, but he still spoke to Carvermanu Nunu sensibly.

"Take her away, Cecil is waiting for you up there..."

"careful!"

Woody originally wanted to say something, but from the corner of his eye, when he felt a dark cloud on the side moving towards the ground at a fast speed, he subconsciously shouted at the position of Kaverman and others.

Kafferman has a wealth of combat experience, so he naturally understood what Woody's caution meant. He pulled his wife beside him without hesitation, and rushed directly behind a giant tree. The next moment, his head was like a sharp sword, flying The giant snake that shuttles through the forest is like a falling straight javelin slanting towards it.

This feathered snake is bigger than all the feathered snakes just now, at least fifteen or six meters long, and its integrity is much higher than other feathered snakes. Apart from the ossification of the head, it can be seen that it is an undead. The scales and skin are still intact and attached to the skeleton.

Of course, if you observe carefully, you will find that the scales on it are irregular, just like a handkerchief that a child put together from a pile of colorful rags. full.

But it still didn't affect the feathered snake's demeanor before it was alive. After the blow was missed, it immediately fanned the three pairs of wings on the neck, abdomen, and lower limbs, circled again and flew towards the top of the cave, like a god riding on the wind. , with holiness in majesty.

Originally, Woody thought it was the black dragon who made the move, but when he saw the appearance of the skull snake, he was a little stunned for a while, because the group of bone snakes he dealt with in the previous life didn't seem to have such a large individual. How come now, Still hiding a head this big?
Looking at the ferocious giant snake in front of him, Woody naturally didn't dare to be sloppy. The first time he appeared, he tried to choose a location with many trees and try to find a good cover. He didn't intend to touch the monster in air combat. Syl will make a move, and now he is not sure about the location of the black dragon, so he hastily made a move with a summoned creature. Then if the black dragon hiding in the shadows makes a move, it will be difficult for him to hide, after all, his agility has not yet arrived While concentrating on dealing with monsters, he can still avoid sneak attacks at any time.

"You guys go first! Quick!"

Woody said to Ruiya and Kaverman who were still dazed aside, he knew that these skeleton snakes were all coming towards him, and the feathered snake hunting Kaverman and others just now was just a provocation. That's right, it was a provocation. From the dancing flames, it saw the black dragon's evil taste. Obviously, it was observing this war from a unique angle.

But just like this, it also made Woody sure of one thing, that is, the black dragon is not here now, because this kind of fluctuation is a kind of spell that can only be used when the caster is far away from here. Very familiar, so he rushed directly to the opposite position of the tower without too much hesitation.

Now that the black dragon is not here, the plan will change.

When Woody sprinted in the opposite direction to Cecil and the others, the undead Feathered Serpent hovering in the air did not hesitate to let out a shriek, ignoring Ruiya and the others passing under it. The man rushed directly towards Woody who was running wildly in the forest. The will of the black dragon was affecting it. If he wanted to catch this weak creature in front of him, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.

However, it still gave an order to the other bone snakes below, the purpose of which was to hinder this group of people. As for Woody, its own consciousness certainly thought that it was noble, so why did it need the assistance of other subordinates? The strongest "dead skeleton" in the master's hands.

It's just that when it vaguely heard the "Master Barto" that the human girl chanted, it felt a little familiar, but it didn't pay much attention to it. Its only task now is to catch the running, body Scaly guy.

The Feathered Snake whizzed away in the sky, the shadow moved away, and a bright full moon appeared in the green cave again. In the forest, the face of the maidservant Ruiya was already covered with tears. He understands why she is sad, but the most important thing at this time is to join Cecil and the others as soon as possible. Just now he saw that some undead bone snakes did not follow the six-winged feather snake, but moved towards them. Coming from the direction of the tower.

"move."

Holding a bow, he pulled his wife's hand, stumbled and disappeared into the depths of the jungle, and the sound of huge snakes crawling and moving was also faintly heard in the forest.

And at a higher position, under a new moon, the girl's figure has arrived under the light source tower at some point.

Cecil quietly stared at the huge Feathered Serpent flying close to the sea of ​​trees in the distance, and said in a voice that only he could hear.

"We must survive!"

After finishing speaking, she began to use the prepared materials to smear graphics on the ground. This time, even if Woody said that there is a way to deal with the black dragon, she also planned to prepare for the second hand. After all, she was never a mage. code of conduct.

Overcoming the enemy first, that is.

And she also believed that the current Woody would definitely agree with him to do so.

……

Woody is very embarrassed at the moment. The huge feathered snake behind him gives him a sense of oppression that is almost stronger than that of the black dragon, but this is also related to the terrain here. Although the vegetation is flat, there are sometimes forests and trees. Shrubs to cover the figure.

But for Feathered Serpent, which has the "Heart Eye of the Undead" that can perceive the heartbeat of all living things within 60 feet, and is exclusive to the dead, Woody's left branch and right protruding are nothing but the powerlessness of a hungry wolf in a trap It's all about struggling, and it will be a matter of time to fall to death with it.

The only regret is that the master has told him that if he can be killed, the body must be kept for him, and the soul cannot be moved. Slightly dissatisfied, after all, for the black dragon, the master who created it, it does not have too much resistance in its heart, more is obedience, it does what it says, even if it is dissatisfied with some things, or it goes against its will, but it Still going to do it.

Soon, the Feathered Serpent caught up with the human-shaped beast galloping in the forest, and when he looked at his icteric vertical pupils, the arrogance in the Feathered Serpent's eyes was also exposed, or it could be said that this crippled soul was guiding it, It feels that it should say something in this situation.

If a hunt cannot listen to the wailing of the dead, it always feels like something is missing.

"I thought you would be like a timid rabbit, huddled in the tangled tree hole, but I didn't expect that you are not as good as a rabbit in the forest, and you are stupid enough to want to get rid of me from this direction. It seems that I really have to doubt it Is your brain made of wood?"

"So dull, so stupid."

"Hahahaha!"

After finishing speaking, Feathered Snake still felt that he had an artistic talent, so he laughed a few times proudly, but the hoarse voice made his voice even worse than that of a crow.

However, the contemptuous gaze cast by the other party made it a little puzzled, but soon after hearing the other party's words, it immediately jumped into a rage, and the anger came up in a flash.

He said.

"Do you have a brain?"

"People without brains say that other people's brains are like a piece of wood. If you say this to others, who is more like a joke?"

Woody was not too nervous when he was stuck in the open space, but after hearing what the feathered snake said, he still couldn't hold back his complaints. The feathered snake in front of him is obviously a high-level undead, and the challenge level should only be lower than that of the black dragon .

"..."

In the face of Woody's rebuttal, the two cold soul fires were burning in Feathered Serpent's empty eye sockets, but he never thought of any rebuttal lines, and finally he could only let out a low growl in impotence and fury.

"I hope you can still talk to me in this tone when you lie down later."

"Come on, pick up the weapon in your hand, and I allow you to polish the sharp blade in your hand!"

"Oh?"

Woody looked at the feathered snake with a little heroism in front of him, and was a little surprised. It seems that the undead template of the black dragon is not very obvious. The Meng Po soup is mixed with water, and the feathered snake in front of him is obviously affected by the original. The influence of the remaining consciousness on the feathered snake's body, pride, arrogance, of course, in the hero's speech, it is naturally brave and fearless, and treats all creatures equally.

"Well."

Woody nodded.

Then sit directly on a stone in the clearing and start sharpening the knife.

Once the knife is wiped, it takes 5 minutes.
