Chapter 11: Bloody Pit

...

[Ghost Guard LV8, HP 20, Defense MAX (Immune to Physical Attack) Weakness Lightning]

[Trait: Psionic Sense LV2]

[Psionic Sense: The ghost guard can see all traces of life within the perception radius, the perception radius is “ghost guard’s level-3′′*0.2 (unit: 100 meters)]

...

“This information is so detailed.”

Roger thought to himself that the Qi Divination Technique might be at the point of upgrading.

According to this formula, the LV8 Ghost Guard had a perception radius of almost 100 meters.

His current location was extremely dangerous!

If he did not retreat in time, he was very likely to be exposed.

But the skill that Roger used was hiding instead of sneaking. Once he left the cover of the phoenix tree and moved too hastily, there was a high probability of being discovered.

And what was more troublesome was that the dead body of the inferior dwarf was still burning. Although it was left with only a handful of sparks, the ghost guards were extremely sensitive to flames.

So long as it approached closer, it would definitely sense something abnormal!

Unfortunately, the ghost guard was indeed heading over here.

“I can only give it a go.”

Roger looked back and could vaguely see a few figures on the hillside.

“Dorothy should be able to see it, right?”

He was not too sure about this.

It was daytime, so his eyesight was slightly weakened. He couldn’t see them clearly, and could not really tell if they could see him clearly.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he lifted his [hidden] state and made a few gestures toward the mountain.

Then he took off his cloak, took out the Green Beetle Sword, and lightly wiped a bit of paste-like liquid on the tip of the sword.

This was [Holy Water].

It was a good item that Uncle Terry had brought from Gem City. It had a strong weakening effect on the monsters of the undead class.

Many monsters of the undead class depended on the [ghost fire] for their lives.

When the low-level undead monster’s ghost fire touched the holy water, it would be instantly wiped out.

Just now, Roger also tried it with the Skeleton Soldier, and it had worked really well.

It was a pity that the amount of holy water was very little, and Roger only had a tiny bit of it left.

With the help of holy water, he had great certainty that he could kill this ghost guard.

But it all depended on Dorothy.

...

The ghost guard left the tower and was flying slowly to the side of the stream.

At this moment, the distance between it and Roger was very close to 100 meters.

Roger hid in the canopy of the tree, tightly holding the Green Beetle Sword, and his Qi Divination Technique was locked on the ghost guard.

The next second, the flying speed of the ghost guard suddenly increased!

“It has found me.”

Roger was not in a panic.

He knew that the ghost guard would definitely find him, but this kind of low-level monster did not have the ability to differentiate between the kinds of lifeforms.

In other words, it could only sense that there was a trace of life among the canopy, but it could not tell whether it belonged to a bird, a squirrel, or a person.

To ensure the safety of the Bone Outpost, it would definitely come and investigate.

And when that time came, it would be Roger’s opportunity.

“Go east!”

Dorothy turned around and walked away without saying a word.

“But, but, but...”

The man who was confused was interrupted by Dorothy, “Roger has taken the Western Tower.”

“Did you not see that flag?”

“Go, let’s head east.”

She said without hesitation.

The others couldn’t help but widen their eyes in surprise, then glanced at the top of the western tower.

They did not know when it happened, but at the northern side of the tower, a flag from the Lord’s Mansion of Tongma Town was hanging.

The flag was dancing lightly in the gentle breeze.

...

[You killed a ghost guard]

[You’ve received 1 XP]

[Your sword (saber) drawing speed has been slightly increased]

...

[You killed a skeleton soldier]

[You’ve received 1 XP]

[Your fear resistance has been slightly increased]

...

The process of sieging the outpost was very smooth.

With the dwarves attracting everyone’s attention, Roger sneaked easily into the tower.

The tower of Bone Outpost had three floors.

The monsters on the first floor were six skeleton soldiers arranged in a loose formation.

Roger had plenty of time to mark them with [Marks of Evil], and then sent them to hell with the Little Thumb Slingshot and pebbles soaked in holy water.

The ghost guard on the second floor was still watching over towards the dwarves rushing across the river.

And once they saw each other, Roger sent it to hell with just a single strike.

In fact, when Roger encountered this ghost guard, it was “lagging” a little.

It might be because so many traces of life appeared in its perception range at once, which was too much for this kind of low-level monster to process.

No matter what, the first attack of the main force of the crusade team was considered a great success.

Roger gazed afar for a while.

After confirming that Terry and Dorothy were able to seize the western tower without causing any injuries on their side, he came to the center of the two towers.

There, he found a huge pit.

Observing with Qi Divination Technique, he could see numerous large clouds of blood within the pit.

The pit must be concealing something really unusual.

He went down the pit without hesitation.

Right at this instant, smells of rot and blood, mixed with the smell of unknown potion, all wafted towards him.

“A barrier that is blocking the airflow?”

Roger raised his eyebrows lightly.

There was an enchantment.

This meant a mage was here.
