Chapter 330 New Moves (seeking monthly pass)

"Kou Tao murloc?"

Thorne pushed aside the grass, looked at the footprints on the ground and the sticky grease stuck to the weeds, and said to himself.

The bodies of all kuo-toa murlocs secrete an extremely sticky oily film, making them as difficult to catch as slippery loaches.

Thorne had a deep understanding of this in the underground bar in Lighthouse Town, because there happened to be a player who chose the Kuo-toa race.

Although this slippery mucus can bring them a lot of benefits, but also, if these amphibian humanoids appear in the wilderness, the mucus secreted by their bodies will become a drag invisibly, making it difficult for them not to The tracked perceives the tracks.

"I didn't expect the hobgoblin Hruk from the Forest of Tranquility to even the Kou Tao murloc from the Shadowmoon Inner Sea. They are well prepared."

Thorn looked up at the dazzling sunlight, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and continued to trace along the footprints.

Kou-tao murlocs are ancient sea-bottom humanoids, fish-like creatures with strong evil character and ferocious tendencies.

Although their amphibious characteristics allow these murlocs to move freely on land, the strength of the kuo-toa murlocs will be weakened when exposed to sunlight.

However, Kou Tao murlocs have a relatively good racial characteristic: alien perception.

Their two eyes that can focus independently have excellent vision, allowing them to see any moving creatures and objects.

Even if the opponent is invisible, spirit bodies, even etheric planes or astral planes, cannot hide from those two round eyes unless they stand still and remain motionless.

This is the main reason why these hobgoblin assassins chose to let the kuo-toa follow them.

Obviously, the hobgoblins of Heruk in the Forest of Tranquility wanted to rely on their own advantages and use guerrilla warfare to try to exhaust the town of Waterfall, or hold them back.

After all, Pushang Town is extremely lacking in high-end combat power. Even with two third-tier rangers from the Temple of Melikai, they can only protect themselves.

The hobgoblins discovered their weakness and made the most special targets.

"The other four are hobgoblins, bear goblins, and two lizardmen."

Thorn walked to a dry dirt road, carefully observed the scattered footprints, and noticed a ferocious vulture hovering about 1000 meters in front of him. He pondered for a moment, as if he understood what it meant.

——"Steel Soul Pai (Stance Skill): Listening and Discriminating Device!"

Immediately afterwards, with a thought, he immediately activated the moves of the Steel Soul faction.

This is the fifth-level move of the Steel Soul School. During his career in the arena in the Underdark, all the experience he gained was converted into practice points by him.

It allowed him to learn the two most important fifth-level moves of the Shadow Hand School and the Steel Soul School at the same time: "Shadow Leap" and "Listen to the Sound Discriminator".

[Listening device (Steel Soul School): Your senses have become extremely sharp, and you can even hear the slightest movement of the surrounding air.Invisible creatures and other potential dangers will lose any meaning in the presence of your highly focused senses.Not even the slightest detail or most cryptic object escapes your attention. 】

[Shadow Leap (Shadow Hand School): Your body instantly turns into a small shadow and disappears without a trace. When the shadow gathers again, you can immediately appear anywhere within 20 meters. 】

In addition to giving him a special ability similar to the Blind Combat Specialty, the "auditory recognition device" also made his senses extremely sharp, and all the wind and grass around him could not hide from his ears.

And "Shadow Leap" is to greatly improve one's own mobility. The ability of "Shadow Leap" is actually the same as the third-level move "Shadow Walk" of the Shadow Hand School.

However, the activation time of "Shadow Leap" is faster, as long as he moves his mind, he will appear in another place in the blink of an eye.

The only shortcoming is that it consumes too much Qi energy. In his current peak state, he can only cast it five or six times at most.

It was precisely because he possessed these two skills that he dared to walk out of Pushang Town without hesitation, looking for the assassins wandering outside.

Thorne believed that with his current strength and mobility, as long as he didn't encounter a powerful assassin with the Paradigm Way, those third-tier professionals would pose almost no threat to him.

Moreover, according to the information passed by Pushang Town, he knew that there were not as many Tier [-] professionals wandering around Pushang Town as he imagined.

They usually have a third-tier professional leading the remaining second-tier professionals, and then divide into small groups to carry out guerrilla operations in the wilderness.

These troublesome rogues have been wandering around the town of Falls, hunting down anyone who tries to leave the town, and then relying on hunting to satisfy their hunger in their spare time, there is a tendency to live here directly.

——"Desert Wind Sect (Enhanced Skill): Fengxing!"

With a thought, Thorne activated another first-level move of the Desert Wind Sect. This move was mastered by him over a month of repeated practice.

The effect is very simple, that is, to increase your own movement speed by 20%.

With his current level, the time can last about 2 hours.

The moment this strengthening technique was activated, Thorne immediately felt that everything was wrapped in an invisible wind element, and with every step he took, warm wind was driven around him.

Thorne was walking on a dry path, his expression was in a state of high concentration, and the two hands hidden in the cloak could instantly pull out a deadly sharp blade at any time.

He just pretended to be walking aimlessly, because with the blessing of the "listening device", his keen senses have already detected the sound of footsteps coming from the surrounding dense grass.

Apparently, those rogues who were hunting the autumn wind outside Fallstown had spotted him as prey and tried to hunt him down here together.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a net full of sharp barbs dropped from the sky, covering Thorn's body directly.

This is a kind of net made of silk thread with strong tenacity. When the enemy is enveloped, the strong elasticity of the net will become tighter and tighter due to the enemy's struggle, densely packed with sharp The barbs also scratch every inch of the victim's skin.

If you wear only ordinary sackcloth, you will experience the pain as if cut by a thousand knives.

"Whizzing!"

At the same time, Thorn's left and right sides were also accompanied by the light sound of the heavy crossbow being pulled, and a series of crossbow arrows flashing with dark green light blocked the escape routes on his left and right sides.

He was followed by a Ursine rogue wielding a metal mace and a hobgoblin wielding two short swords.

They jumped out of the dense grass at the same time, appearing directly in front of and behind Thorn respectively.

His path seemed to be completely blocked.

At least that's what the attackers thought, because triumphant smiles had already appeared on their ferocious faces, as if the opponent had really become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

——"One-ring spell: greasy spell!"

The moment Thorne stood on the dirt road was covered with a layer of smooth grease, his figure shot out like a sharp arrow, dodging the nets and crossbow arrows in the hot wind with a charging speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye , instantly appeared in front of the earth spirit who was only six or seven meters away from him.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, the hobgoblin who hadn't reacted yet, with a head with a grinning expression, flew into the dust in the erupting column of blood.

Thorne, who has the specialty of "Swift Shot", draws his sword very fast.

Now, with the blessing of the ancient characteristic "Drawing Sword of Flame", his speed has increased by 50% again.

So before dying, this hobgoblin only saw a flash of light orange sword light, then his eyes went black, and he returned to the arms of the mighty Magrubie, and honorably joined the fighting army in the Shura field.

The moment the hobgoblin died, Thorne didn't stop in his footsteps. He had already locked the position of the lizard man hidden in the grass through the direction of the crossbow.

The keen lizardman stalker realized that he had been locked on by his prey, so he quickly dropped his heavy crossbow and drew two sharp blades to meet him.

But just as he raised the sharp blade, he saw a light blue light flash, and immediately felt that the arm holding the sharp blade seemed to lose consciousness, followed by a sharp pain.

"Pfft!"

The desert wind in Thorn's right hand flashed a sword light, and the lizardman stalker screaming in pain covered his neck with his last intact arm and fell down in the wild grass.

He's not dead, he's just not breathing.

"Pfft!"

The moment the lizardman fell into the grass, Thorn turned sideways with a calm expression, and stabbed back with the sharp blade in his hand. Another lizardman stalker who was lurking and trying to attack him fell down in the grass with his companion. .

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill); Shadow Leap!"

Thorne then disappeared without a trace, directly under the noses of the bugbear rogues.

A deep purple lightning beam that tore the air also missed the target due to Thorn's sudden disappearance. The crackling lightning disappeared deep in the wilderness, leaving only a scorched black path.

Hiding in the dark, Kou Tao murloc priest saw the target disappear without a trace, and his two big focused eyeballs rolled around, and at the same time created a protective force field for himself against physical attacks.

However, what he didn't expect was that.

At this moment, Thorn had appeared silently behind the Kuu Tao Yuren who were trying to find him.

I saw a light blue sword light streaking across the sharp blade in his left hand, and the protective force field that the Kou Tao murloc was proud of looked even more fragile than an eggshell in front of the sharp blade with the attribute of destroying demons.

"Crack!"

With the rupture of the force field barrier, the desert wind from Thorne's right hand followed closely, and the bullet-like head of the Kou Tao murloc was separated from the body immediately.

"Roar!"

The bear goblin rogue with a metal mace rushed to Thorne again.

He roared angrily, revealing two sharp fangs on his lower jaw, and smashed the pure metal mace full of sharp thorns directly towards Thorn's forehead with a series of piercing sounds.

Thorn's nimble body bowed to one side, easily dodging the heavy blow and sweep of the mace, and then the two sharp blades in his hand drew deadly sword lights at an extremely fast speed, completely smashing the burly body of the bear goblin. shrouded.

"thump!"

In only two or three rounds of confrontation between the two sides, the slow-reacting bear goblin wanderer was stabbed in the neck and heart at the same time, and he was kicked to the ground by Thorne with an unwilling roar.

Thorn, who had completed the pentakill, didn't dare to waste time, simply cleaned the battlefield, and disappeared into the wilderness at an extremely fast speed.

There are still many assassins wandering around the outskirts of Pushang Town, and these few are just appetizers.

What he needs to do is actually very simple, that is to clean them all up.
