One after another, howls came.

In the distance, a figure can be seen leaping among the trees, followed by a few dark figures, and the roar of the orcs is getting closer. Sauron carried Vivian on his back and was about to evacuate. Gloria also quickly blessed a spell, but monsters in all directions seemed to have spotted them, and a few strong figures could vaguely be seen jumping down from the tree poles, planning to circle around. Go ahead and stop them. One of the figures was unusually eye-catching, and it was actually a large black cheetah.

Mutant beast!

Some special beasts have some mutated genes, which may be related to the forbidden experiments in the arcane empire period. They appeared in large numbers for a period of time, but later they were arrested and killed, and many of the rest fled to the astral world and beyond. layer plane. Some beasts on the material plane also inherited these mutant genes, and genetic mutations may occur when the biological level advances to a certain stage. This beast has spell-like abilities, but the number is very rare, and most of them just have high intelligence and strong hunting ability.

These beasts are said to be the failures of lycanthropy experiments.

Sauron stopped, and handed Vivian to Gloria next to him. The black cheetah that stopped them in front of him was quite difficult to deal with. Its size was close to the size of a Siberian tiger. On its elegant body, obvious muscle outlines could be seen, as if Is the bodybuilding champion in the beast. This represents the strength of the opponent, it may even be stronger than the brown bear, and the power of the claws may tear the armor. The speed of the cheetah's sprint was quite terrifying, and Sauron did not dare to continue to escape, because this was equivalent to exposing his back in front of his eyes.

With a short sprint, almost no creature can surpass this mutant large cheetah!

Jackal, tiger and leopard, cheetahs are more dangerous than tigers in the wilderness, because you basically cannot run faster than it on land. To deal with this kind of creature, you will only be knocked down by it in an instant, and then Biting your throat mercilessly. Sauron took a deep breath while sprinting. Immediately, the muscles of the whole body energized, jumping a distance of ten meters, and wielding the machete, he slashed towards the top of the black panther's head. There is no protection on the beast's body, only the skin of the beast can't stop his attack.

A light jump.

The large black panther nimbly avoided his attack, and at the same time showed an anthropomorphic mocking smile on his face. This beast's intelligence is higher than expected, and its biological level may have reached the third-order or higher.

But it's still too lighthearted!

Sauron raised his finger in an instant, and in just one second, his fingertips flew out two arcane missiles, so close to the black panther, no matter how fast it was, it was impossible to escape. The next moment, a small hole was opened in its neck, and two arcane missiles pierced through its leopard skin, leaving a wound about three centimeters deep.

With Sauron's spell strength, the two arcane missiles fired at such a close range caused at least twenty points of damage!

1 point of spell power can strengthen the power of 1 point of arcane missiles. It is not a joke for high-level wizards to use arcane missiles to penetrate armor. Sauron's spell strength is also ten points, even if it is deducted from the physical strength exempt. Can also inflict minor injuries on the target. The suddenly injured cheetah obviously slowed down by half a beat. This knife cut a wound close to five centimeters deep, but after breaking through the muscle layer, it became weak. He could only withdraw quickly.

The toughness of the constitution reduces damage!

Roughly 2 points of physique increase 1 point of damage reduction, and some creatures with strong vitality can also use muscle layers to clamp weapons.

Dragons are the best among them.

There is no extraordinary weapon to deal with the dragon species, and even breaking its dragon skin will not break the strong muscles, nor can it damage the vital organs. It is very difficult to kill dragons just by bleeding damage.

The sharp claws pierced through the cold light.

The sturdy and tough leopard tail drew over, and the wind whistled like a whip. Sauron turned around to avoid it, leaving three shallow scratches on his arm, and a leopard tail slapped his waist, but he could still bear it with his physique. The other monsters in the vicinity were getting closer and closer, so Sauron didn't want to waste it, he took out a dead wood stick in an instant, and pointed at the black panther in front of him.

A magic light emerged.

The weeds on the ground suddenly grew wildly, wrapping around the cheetah in front of him like tenacious vines. Even if it had the power of a big cat, it could not break free for a while. This short period of one or two seconds was enough for Sauron. He jumped on the back of the black panther, pressed it down with strength, and then clenched the machete in both hands and chopped it down. The power of Sword Stance - Heavy Slash exploded in an instant, and the machete cut off the black panther's head abruptly.

The gushing blood was three or five meters away, and the headless corpse of the black panther froze for a moment, then slammed down.

A row of data emerges:

"Activate [Sword Stance - Heavy Cleave]!"

"Trigger a decapitation attack!...Decapitate the target with 125 points of decapitation damage!...The target dies!..."

"Extract soul energy."

"You have gained 2450 killing experience!"

………………

Sure enough, it is a cheetah above the third order.

The creature's level is estimated to be about 12. It's not that you were caught off guard with a spell. It is more difficult to deal with it than to deal with the earth element.

"Brother be careful!"

Vivian's exclamation suddenly came from behind Sauron, and Gloria also cast a spell quickly in an instant. First, she blessed them with a spell, and then raised her hand to shoot a blood-red light toward the front.

- "Death Finger!"

The muffled sound of the bowstring trembling came, and Sauron didn't even think about it. The next moment, he activated the element spar on his body, and a khaki-colored trace on the ground spread to his whole body. Almost as soon as the stone skin technique blessed him, a sharp arrow also flew and hit his chest directly. The strength of the arrow made him take a step backwards.

Next to the bushes in front, a tall and burly mixed-race orc held a strong bow and locked on Sauron with ferocious eyes.

But the next moment its eyes turned into astonishment!

Because Sauron didn't fall down, the arrow hit him in the chest, but it only got stuck between the ribs. The arrow that should have shot him directly was offset by the stone skin technique. , plus his own 20 points of extraordinary physique fortitude saving throw, although the arrow hit his chest. But the damage caused is far less than imagined. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, and the leather armor on his chest was shot through. The opponent used a high-quality bow.

The dark red light hit the tall and burly hybrid orc in the next moment, his whole body stiffened, and then he fell straight to the ground!

Seventh-level spell [Death Finger]!

The finger of death displayed by the high-ranking Northland witch is not for fun, and it is not easy for all professionals below the fourth rank to pass the death saving throw.

Failing to pass the death save is the result of instant death!

Sauron pulled out the arrow and did not care about the wound. He swung his knife sharply to block the attack of another half-blood orc next to him. The heavy battle axe held a ferocious force that made him sink. On the left was a gnoll-like half-blood creature. He threw out a short axe and hit Sauron's back in the next moment.

clang!

The hatchet seemed to have hit the solid marble. The leather armor on Sauron's back was only dented a little, and he hardly suffered any damage. The opponent's strength is not high, and he should not have specially trained throwing weapons. The attack strength of the short axe does not exceed 20 points, and it is not able to break the protective energy of Sauron's stone skin technique.

The existence of the witches in the north attracted most of the attention of the hunters. At least more than half of the hunters bypassed Sauron and rushed towards Gloria and Vivian who were behind him. Wizards are the most terrifying beings, and they must not be given a chance to cast spells. A monster with a ferocious face that Sauron could not recognize roared. Suddenly, he began to grow in size, then took a deep breath and sprinted on the ground with his limbs, almost unbelievably fast.

Raging hybrid beasts!

In the face of such a dangerous situation, Gloria remained calm. She even had time to pull Vivienne behind her, and then she snapped out her staff, and a fireball the size of a washbasin flew out, not targeting the enemy in front of her. Instead, it exploded directly in the open space ahead. Time rewinds one second ago, and the rapidly sprinting monster has no time to stop, and it is completely inertial. When it rushed over, it also happened to enter the core area of ​​the explosion of the fireball technique.

In the next second, it was all bloody and bloody, its chest was blown to the bone, and all the hair on its body was burning.

"Vivian see clearly!"

Gloria had an awe-inspiring aura on her body, completely different from what Sauron knew, she said in a cold voice: "Do you remember the movement calculation I taught you? Movement positioning and spell prediction are very important skills. , Many enemies are extremely fast, and spells don't have to be aimed at the enemy to be effective!"

The howling wind sounded.

Two flying axes and a long knife were thrown towards the location of the two of them. Gloria didn't care at all. She slammed the staff into the ground, and then quickly cast spells with both hands. The fundamentals of the person, you must ensure that you are always under the shroud of the energy protection field during the battle."

Bang bang bang.

The thrown weapon seemed to hit the invisible air, and it made a muffled sound when it hit the energy protection field. Gloria's expression did not change at all, as if she didn't even look at the rushing enemies. Concentration is the most important basic skill for spellcasters in battle. Spellcasters can't be distracted and let the enemy interrupt their spell casting. Concentration skills can also make them more sensitive to changes around them.

- "Shadow black tentacles!"

Six energy tentacles burst out of the ground and lashed in a flash. The nearby enemy rushing in half instantly stiffened, and then they were rolled up and hanged upside down by the energy tentacles. The shadow black tentacles cast by the high-level witch were completely different from those cast by Sauron. The energy tentacles entangled up and directly strangled the two enemies, and then entangled everyone who approached, dragged them back and hung them in the air.

Gloria then slowly pulled up her staff and said condensedly, "Vivian. You must always remember that for wizards, control is more important than damage!"

There was an eerie silence on the battlefield.

It was only at this moment that everyone, including Sauron, saw the true strength of a high-level northern witch!

This is the style of the high-level mages!
