Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 50 Manipulating Dead Corpses
The sky is deep, the moon is bright and clear, and the moonlight like water falls on the ruins of Talan Village, covering the mottled and dark blood pools on the ground with hazy silver gauze.

A slightly bleak and tragic picture flashed.

Roar!
The loud howl of the wolf was full of bloodthirsty desire, mixed with the biting cold wind, and turned into an invisible aura, exuding the deep fear from the night, and spreading rapidly to the surroundings.

The pupils of the five Fred gnolls looked at Thorn with a scarlet light, showing a ferocious face eager to try.

"Let the disciples of Gwaeron Storm enjoy the fear of being hunted! The god of hunting is watching us!"

The Gnoll priest holding the skull artifact pointed at Thorne, looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and roared excitedly and crazily.

Because the God of Hunting has part of the moon domain, his believers especially prefer to hunt on the night of the full moon. They think that as long as they hunt on the full moon, they can attract Mara's attention more.

Immediately, the four Flynn wolves fixed their eyes on Thorne's slightly thin body.

They licked the blood that had slid down their faces, grinned ferociously, waved their icy metal claws, and turned into a black shadow and rushed over quickly.

Thorn's handsome face was calm and unwavering, and he quickly adapted to the powerful strength brought by his body blessed by divine magic.

With the blessing of 4 points of strength and 4 points of agility, Thorn's current strength has reached 19 points, and his agility is as high as 24 points.

In addition, the skin of the whole body is covered with tough bark.

Facing the four Flinder gnolls rushing towards him, he showed no trace of fear.

Thorn quickly sheathed the long sword, the wooden holy emblem hidden in his left hand flickered slightly, and then gently pointed at the Gnoll priest with an inconspicuous gesture.

Immediately afterwards, a light red light with five-star paw prints appeared strangely above the head of the jackal priest.

This is part of the ranger's prophecy magic: Hunter's Mark!

After use, you can mark a mysterious symbol on the enemy that only you can see.

Regardless of whether the marked enemy is attacked or defended by him, Thorne's damage to the enemy will have an additional bonus.

And when Thorn tries to hunt down the marked enemy, he has a great advantage when making Perception and Wisdom checks.

Thorn's ranger enemy chose the Jackal, and at this time he added a hunter's mark to the opponent.

With the blessing of this dual skill, even if the gnoll priest uses the invisibility technique to completely disappear into the air, he will be noticed by Thorne very quickly.

Because among the five Flinder gnolls in this group, as a spell caster, the gnoll priest was undoubtedly the greatest threat.

So Thorne must always be alert to the opponent's magic spells that are fatal to him and pay attention to the opponent's position.

However, from the four gnolls rushing towards him in front of him, it was obvious that the priest wanted to stay and deal with these players for the time being.

After all, their goal today was these unlucky players, and Thorne was just an unexpected surprise.

Thorn glanced at Druigst who was not far away and said: "You can do it for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately fled to the depths of the dense forest. The duration of the three-ring magic cat's grace and bull's power is not as long as the tree skin spell.

For Druids around level 5 of Gerst, it takes less than 10 minutes at most, so Thorne must take advantage of the duration of the magic spell to kill all the four chasing gnolls.

Finally, deal with the remaining Gnoll priests with peace of mind.

Whoosh!
Thorne turned into a black shadow and disappeared in the dark jungle, under the blessing of the supernatural ability Shadow's favorite and the wood elf's racial characteristic wild mask.

His shadowy figure was almost completely lost in the darkness.

However, Thorn's speed was not maximized, but he kept a certain distance from the pursuing Jackals.

Otherwise, with his full running speed, he would have already thrown them away, and he needed to lead the four people behind him into the depths of the complicated dense forest, and then defeat them one by one.

Because the followers of Mara do not like to rush to kill the prey when hunting, but chase the prey to areas that are dangerous to both parties. Only in this way do they think that hunting is more valuable.

So these guys are gullible.

"Good luck!"

Looking at Thorn's disappearing back, Gerst said softly.

"Simba, follow up first!" Andrina, who was hiding behind the ruins, noticed Thorn's disappearing figure, raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately ordered the invisible little devil sitting on her shoulder.

"Ah, master, please spare me, I... just like the past, I'm going to die."

The little devil Simba showed his original shape. He glanced into the depths of the jungle, with a fearful expression on his face, and said timidly.

"Huh?" Anderina's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the little devil's petite dark red body with slightly cold eyes.

"Okay..." The little devil Simba shrank his head, glanced at Anderina with resentful eyes, flapped his two little leather wings and disappeared into the night.

"It shouldn't be so easy to die, right?" Anderina looked into the depths of the jungle and said to herself.

When four Flinder gnolls disappeared into the jungle after Thorn's trail.

Yoder, the double-shield guard who supported Gust, glanced at the Gnoll Priest who was still standing still, with deep fear in his eyes.

Then he yelled at the crossbowman hiding in the ruins: "Fire the arrow!"

When the crossbowmen heard this, they immediately took out the few remaining arrows and started shooting wildly at the gnoll priest.

"Don't worry, you will soon disappear with the disciples of Gwaeron Storm!"

Facing the vast number of arrows, the gnoll priest showed a cruel smile, and then gently waved the magic weapon of the skull that was shining with a strange red light.

As the red glow on the skull magic weapon in the hands of the Wolf Priest surged, a nearly invisible protective force field enveloped him.

Ding Ding Ding!
In the dim night, all the arrows that were galloping could not penetrate an inch around the Wolf man priest, and they all fell powerlessly on the ground.

"Slowly feel the pain of death!"

The Gnoll Priest sneered, and the bleeding claws on the skull magic weapon floated strangely.

——"Five Rings Divine Art: Group Epidemic Art!"

Cough!

Accompanied by the powerful dry cough of the Gnoll Priest, a red and black mist suddenly rose strangely above the crossbowmen's heads.

"Run away!"

Gerst's complexion changed drastically, and he roared heart-piercingly with the last of his strength.

what!what!what!
Under the strange red and black mist, the players who had no time to escape let out miserable roars.

Various diseases such as blindness, redness, febrile fever, nausea, tremors, etc. have different effects on different players.

The worst player, suffering from redness and swelling, developed large rotten pustules all over his body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pool of foul-smelling mud.

——"Shield Sprint!"

The few remaining double-shield guards shouted loudly, raised their fine steel shields and rushed towards the Gnoll Priest with all their strength, trying to interrupt his divine attack.

- "Spell Counter!"

Andrina tried to interrupt the Gnoll Priest's protective power.

His face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been severely injured after the counter-spell failed.

The Gnoll Priest didn't care the slightest bit about the ripples left by the magic and the attacks of the Double Shield Guards on his body.

There was a cruel smile on his ferocious face, and he calmly took out a bottle of black evil water and a small bag of silver powder from his pocket.

Evil water and silver powder swayed in the air, and the gnoll priest also chanted bursts of evil curses.

——"Second Ring Divine Art: Blasphemy!"

——"Three-ring Divine Art: Manipulating Dead Corpses!"

Under the evil spell of corruption, a large amount of cold negative energy burst from the skull of the wolf man priest, quickly poured into the ground, and spread in all directions.

Under the shroud of negative energy, the corpses of players, gnolls, and wargs who had already died on the ground all stood up stiffly, picked up their weapons, and turned into skeleton warriors.

The corpse that turned into a skeleton moved clumsily, and the flesh and blood all over the body began to fall off quickly, revealing a smooth blood-colored skull.

The skeletons, exuding a strong death air, searched for the breath of all living people in the village amidst their roars.

"Taste the fear of death well!"

Seeing the terrified faces of the players, the Gnoll Priest sneered in satisfaction.

He looked at the bright full moon with crazy and pious eyes, took out the two-section iron rod at his waist, and galloped towards the direction where Thorne disappeared.
