Shadow Covenant

Chapter 58 "Spider Drow"

Soon, a single corrupted monster wandered to a few steps in front of Woody.

This is an adult in ragged clothes, but even so, it can still be seen that his clothing is of good quality, and there is even a lining, which is obviously a resident of the trade area or a foreign traveler.

Usually when you come to a strange place, someone will remind you.

Don't go to remote places at night, even the city is not safe.

Many people disappear here in Palermo every year. In the eyes of some people, the aborigines and players are actually lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Women with good looks may be treated as slaves and sold to serve as maids in taverns in another port, and those with good physique may be sold to evil wizards and warlocks who need human bodies as materials.

And the one in front of him seems to be the latter.

The perception of the traveler who has been deformed into a corrupted monster is lower than that of ordinary people, but if he moves his hands, his strength and recovery ability are enough to make the first time encountering this monster flustered.

Because each corrupt monster has different weaknesses, if you swear by your previous combat experience, you will probably suffer a big loss.

Woody naturally knew this kind of creature, and when he took a closer look, he found that there was a sharp black horn growing on the face of this strange monster in front of him, which was covered with pustules and cysts.

The "distortion core" is in the head.

With a clear mind, he slowly waited for the corrupt monster to turn his head, and then slowly followed until he was two steps away.

The long steel sword in his hand was already quietly held in both hands, the blade was bathed in the cold moonlight, and it directly slashed towards the head of the corrupt monster.

——"Shadow ambush launched."

——"Swordsmanship·Horizontal Slash."

——"Successfully hit the vital point, causing 22 (+3) vital damage to the target."

——"The target has been decapitated...Death save...Death save failed."

——"The target is dead, get 41 experience points."

……

The body of the corrupted monster that lost its head fell limply. This assassination, coupled with the sound of insects in the garden of the manor, did not disturb the other corrupted monsters that were wandering unconsciously.

This slash was much easier than the previous severing of the strange monster's head.

But it's normal, now that Woody has put on the "Stone Plastic Gloves" just now, together with the previous "White Wolf Mask", his personal panel power attribute has reached 16, which has reached the professional level The level of warrior attributes.

It is not a problem for them to lift something weighing two to three hundred catties in place, let alone beheading with a +1 enchanted steel long sword.

As long as the blade is sharp enough, it is actually not difficult to split from the middle with one knife.

Putting away the long sword, Woody blended into the shadows again without looking at it, ready to ambush another target.

Corrupted aberrations are similar to undead in a way, and it's almost immediately obvious what loot is there.

Apart from experience, there is nothing oily or watery.

But that's enough.

The night is still very long tonight, and the banquet has just ended for less than an hour. When it is completely late at night, there are still two hours before the intersection of the noble district of Palermo is closed, which is enough for Woody to slowly clean up the corruption in this manor. Strange.

If all goes well, he can successfully advance to level 4 demon hunter tonight.

It's not far away before he officially decides to leave Palermo and go to the Northland as a level 5 demon hunter. At most, he can make a few more commissions to clean up a few wolf man camps or lizardman lairs.

However, when Woody cut off the deformed arm of No. 17 corrupted monster with his long sword, his total experience value only reached 2800 points as the body fell, which is 4 points away from level 200. value.

Woody glanced at the garden of the manor, which was already full of corpses, and sighed, it seemed that he could only go back first.

This experience is worth thinking about next time!

As soon as Woody stepped out of this mansion located halfway up the mountain, several pieces of data information popped up from his personal panel.

——"The negotiation was successful."

——"You successfully coaxed a sacrilegious cultist into treating you as a companion."

——"Negotiation +3, fraud +5, performance +3."

……

The first should be a series of lies he told against Oriana, and the second is the next battle.

——"The adventure is over."

——"After a difficult battle in the basement, you won the victory, and your skills have been improved!"

——"Swordsmanship +4, Stealth +2, Movement +3."

……

Then came the duel in the third flower garden.

——"The battle is over."

——"After an easy night garden ambush, you won easily, and your skills have been improved to a certain extent."

——"Swordsmanship +1, Stealth +1"

——"You have obtained part of the information of the "Sword Severing" specialty. "

……

The two fields of his skills become the following data.

“背景技能：贵族礼仪10、估价12、雕塑20、交涉12、威吓2、演讲3、欺诈10、表演6。”

“职业技能：知识5、免疫5、生存5、剑术42、潜行54、陷阱5、运动13、炼金18。”

Seeing this, Woody raised his eyebrows slightly. Severing is considered a good special specialty, which allows him to gain some strength and sharpness when using sword weapons to cut off limbs.

To put it simply, he is used to Zhan Duan Zhan, and knows how to use the inertia of his arms to swing the most powerful heavy slash.

It is also a prerequisite for the warrior profession to advance to "Master of Execution", and one must have the specialty of "Severing".

However, Woody will not train specially. Compared with this, he still prefers the specialty of two-weapon combat.

It's just that at this time, for the sake of efficiency, he didn't use it on purpose.

After confirming that there were no corrupt monsters missing in the garden, Woody easily climbed over the 2-meter-high wall of the mansion. He felt that there was still some magic power left in his body, which seemed to be able to support him back to the wine estate. .

While tidying up the damage on the lapel of the hunting suit, Woody tried to use something like a windbreaker to hold it down. At the same time, he took off the white wolf mask and put on the spinnaker hat. He also put the gloves back into the ring. , He got it from Oriana, and he wasn't sure if anyone else in Palermo knew about it, so he planned to take it out in the Northland.

The mansion of the rich man halfway up the mountain is still some distance away from the trade zone, so Woody chose to return the same way.

With his speed, it is estimated that he will be able to return to the noble district in less than half an hour.

However, when he was walking down the mountain leisurely with the moonlight on his back, he passed the foothills beside the road at 17 o'clock perception, and with his keen hearing, he sensed a strange rustling sound from the dense forest at the foothills not far away.

It wasn't like the sound of leaves being blown by the sea wind, but rather like the sound of some kind of arthropod walking, and the sound was getting closer.

Without saying a word, Woody started to sneak, his body merged into the shadow, and hid in the shadow of a tree trunk, intending to observe for a while.

Then, through the gaps in the leaves, he saw the extremely familiar creature in his memory.

Woody's pupils shrank suddenly.

On the rugged mountain not far away, a spider as big as a horse was moving quickly.

The rustling sound was the rubbing sound of the eight legs, but the spider was supposed to have a half human body instead of its head.

The dark red round belly, the dark jade-colored skin, and the long silver hair shining in the shadows all prove that it can only be seen in the dark region.

——"Spider Drow"

But what puzzled Woody was that the supposedly female spider drow that came out of nowhere didn't have a ferocious and cruel smile on its face.

But...

Helpless and fearful.

What is she afraid of?
Woody was still thinking.

With the slight sound of incantations coming from the forest, it was only a step away before they could step on the spider drow that was sprinkled with fragments of moonlight, and couldn't move for a moment.

With the shimmer of lavender magic combined with the stiffness on the face of the female spider drow, Woody, who had been in the Underdark for a while, recognized it as a divine spell belonging to the Underdark at a glance.

——"Spider Hold"
