In order to get ahead of the Dark Rabbit Clan, the Plateau Hearthfire Guild and the Feiqi Family Cavalry are traveling overnight.
At this time, Woodcorn, the vice president of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild, still had the idea of cooperating with the Dark Rabbit Clan, and the Scarlet Lord Driggs's positioning of his own forces in this incident was just to help the Plateau Hearthfire Guild strengthen its momentum.
——Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not conflict with the Dark Rabbit Clan;
——Unless you have no other choice, do not intervene militarily in the dispute between the Plateau Hearthfire Guild and the Dark Rabbit Clan;
Both Woodcorn and Driggs, experienced managers, are thinking and speculating about the future situation from a rational perspective.
However, they overlooked one point, which was that their opponent this time was not as rational as they were.
The Rabbit God, who possessed extraordinary strength, could be described as willful or unscrupulous. In short, he played a "bad card" that neither of the two rulers had expected.
"Enemy, enemy attack! Two monsters are coming!!!"
The reconnaissance cavalry who fled back from the front screamed and howled like ghosts and wolves.
It was not difficult to judge from his panic-stricken appearance that his teammates might have met with an accident.
"Attention everyone, battle formation!"
The yak man Woodcorn reacted immediately. As an experienced man, he was no stranger to such life-and-death scenes.
Lord Driggs of the Scarlet Qi clan also displayed composure no less than that of Woodcorn. He calmly commanded the cavalry of the Scarlet Qi clan, letting them use the defensive formation of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild as a shield, and prepare to find an opportunity to rush out and turn defense into offense.
As for Viviana, who was being punished, Driggs felt that it would be a burden to let his mentally depressed daughter go to the front line, so he simply let her hide in the back and wait.
"Southeast! A big guy is coming! Everyone hold on!"
Woodcorn's booming voice boomed at the front of the line.
With his burly figure, he led the charge at the front line, which undoubtedly gave everyone a lot of confidence.
However, Woodcorn soon noticed that of the "two monsters" mentioned by the scouts, only one seemed to have arrived. Was it because the two monsters were out of sync due to their different speeds, or was it... ?
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over Woodcorn. Although he had no evidence, based on his past experience, this situation was very likely to happen...
"The enemy is out in the rear! Mr. Vice President! I'll figure out how to deal with the other one!"
At this moment, the voice of Lord Scarlet Driggs came at the right time, which was really a timely help to Woodcorn!
"Alright! I'll leave it to you, Lord!"
With Lord Scarlet Guardian guarding the rear, Woodcorn can do whatever he wants without any worries.
However, Woodcorn, who thought that Lord Scarlet was righteous and reliable, did not know that the reason why Lord Scarlet was so active in stepping forward was actually just to protect Viviana who stayed behind.
10.163 - False Victory
No sooner said than done, a large snow-white monster flashed out from the darkness, waving a sharp weapon flashing with cold light and slashing towards Woodcorn!
Woodcornso was standing where the largest group of people was.
The enemy's intention in doing this is extremely clear, which is to launch a preemptive strike to severely damage all living forces!
——(Rock mass!)
Without any hesitation, Woodcorn leaped up.
As he leaped up, he activated his most proficient first-level skill, "Rock Body", greatly enhancing his defensive capabilities.
The next second, the unknown monster's heavy blow hit the "Long-handled Lava Battle Axe Vulcano" that Woodcorn had raised with great force.
Woodcorn, who was in the air, had no place to gain leverage and was immediately chopped to the ground.
Fortunately, the defensive ability provided by the skill "Rock Body" allowed him to remain unscathed.
On the other side, Lord Scarlet Driggs also resolved the enemy's first round of sneak attacks.
When he saw the cold light flashing in the darkness, he attacked with the "Flame Fist·Flying Fist" without hesitation.
The flying ball of flame not only illuminated the night, but also hit the attacking monster.
The scorching flames forced the opponent to temporarily stop the attack and retreat into the darkness to look for another opportunity.
"My Lord! The one attacking me is the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis!"
Woodcorn's voice came from the front, which made Lord Scarlet know that they were surrounded by monsters.
Although Lord Feiqi himself could not see clearly, he was able to basically determine the identity of the enemy based on the glimpse in the darkness just now.
"Mr. Vice President! I'm afraid the situation on my side is the same as yours!"
With its small head, white shell, and forelimbs equipped with sickle-shaped weapons, Lord Feiqi did not think that this monster could be anything other than a mantis.
·
If there were only these two Phantom Snow Ghost Mantises attacking at the moment, Lord Feiqi actually didn't think the crisis would be that serious.
First of all, no matter how powerful the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantises are, they are still only fifth-level monsters.
With Vice President Woodcorn and Lord Feiqi's own sixth-level strength, plus the large number of helpers in their respective teams, it is not difficult to deal with them.
Secondly, Lord Feiqi himself had some understanding of the Phantom Snow Mantis, and he believed that Woodcorn was more familiar with this monster than he was.
On the other hand, these stupid monsters have no idea how dangerous the opponent they are attacking is. Maybe in their eyes, all humans are equally weak?
——(Ice Scythe...Ice Shell...Wing Dance: Snowstorm...Snow Mystery...and Shadow Swiftness, a total of five skills.)
——(Hehe, I know all your secrets, monsters...!)
Driggs despised the enemy strategically and took him seriously tactically.
Taking advantage of the fact that the monster was now far away from them, Driggs took the initiative and went into the darkness alone.
In this way, Viviana, who was left at the end of the team on standby, would be relatively safe.
——(I’m counting on you, old partner…!)
Driggs waved his hands and activated the pair of scarlet arm armor equipped on his arms.
The "Red Demon Armguard Akai," which may not be called a divine warrior in name, but is in fact a divine warrior, is the perfect partner for Driggs, who also has the nickname "Explosive Flame."
·
The moon was shining brightly in the sky and the earth should have been bright and clear, but the overlapping cliffs blocked the moonlight, and instead a large dark shadow was cast.
Driggs knew that the moment he entered the shadows, he might be ambushed by the monsters hiding there, so as he rushed in, he used the skill "Flame Fist: Earthshattering Impact".
Suddenly, the flames poured from his fist onto the ground, spreading out like a snake, leaving behind a cracked flame totem on the ground, dimly illuminating the surroundings.
The monster's fast-moving shadow was reflected at this time, allowing Driggs to be prepared and block the scythe attack from the side!
With a "clang" sound, Driggs, who was inferior to the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis in strength, was knocked back several steps in an instant. However, this was within his expectations, because the distance created was the perfect cover for his next move.
——(God of Fire, protect me... Burn, scorching robes!)
After a brief period of accumulating magic power, a high heat wave surrounded Driggs.
This offensive and defensive move was specially chosen by him for the Snow Mantis who likes cold environments!
——(Come on, in this outskirts of the Bessent region where there is almost no snow, let me see what tricks you can come up with!)
——(Flying Flame Step!)
Seeing that the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis did not attack immediately, Driggs, who was reluctant to spend his magic power, immediately took the initiative to attack.
Surrounded by high-temperature heat waves, he can cause damage to the enemy just by being close!
Sure enough, as soon as Driggs got close, he clearly saw that the icy shell on the Snow Ghost Mantis began to melt.
Moreover, the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis's proud ice sickle was also defeated by Driggs's flaming fist attack.
Hunting "Explosive Driggs" is probably the biggest mistake that Phantom Snow Mantis made tonight!
——(Weak, so weak!)
——(Your skills won't work in a place without snow, right?)
Driggs became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The raging flames turned into dancing fire snakes, burning the body of the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis from head to toe. Even the insect wings on its back were burned to ashes.
At this point, the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis had nowhere to attack and nowhere to escape. Its fate of failing in a sneak attack and being killed instead was already sealed.
Driggs seized the opportunity and hit the Snow Mantis's head with a sudden fire punch, then instantly activated the effect of the "Explosive Fist", ending the Fire Fist skill prematurely and causing an explosion, blowing the Snow Mantis's head to pieces.
Then, he immediately used the "Flying Flame Step: Fire Dance Sweep" move to burn the torso of the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis.
In this way, even insect-type monsters will not be able to continue to do evil after losing their heads and hearts in their torsos.
·
——(Tsk, I hit it too hard, and I still wasted some extra mana.)
——(When I blew my head off just now, it felt a little strange. Was it my imagination?)
Instead of rejoicing in the victory, Driggs immediately began to reflect on himself.
While reflecting, he looked at the front of the team. Just when he was fighting, there were several deafening noises on the front battlefield where Woodcorn was in charge.
And now, the front battlefield seems to have returned to calm.
This guy Woodcorn actually ended the battle in about the same amount of time as me?
Driggs walked over with interest, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't see Woodcorn's battle scene.
But at this moment, a chill that made Driggs feel cold all over suddenly swept over him.
He subconsciously dodged to the side and barely avoided the fatal blow from behind, but the cut on his side had already caused irreparable bleeding injuries.
When Driggs saw who the guy who attacked him was, he was so surprised that he blurted out.
“Oh my God… How… How is this possible?!!!”
10.164 - Carving a Boat to Look for a Sword
What caught Driggs's eyes was the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis with only half of its body left.
This guy's head and torso are clearly gone, so how is he able to move?!
However, no matter how surprised he was, Driggs was an experienced fighter after all. No matter how unreasonable the situation was, what he had to do remained unchanged.
——(Flame Fist.)
Driggs once again activated his first-level skill, "Flame Fist."
Even though this skill is only at the first level, all of Driggs's moves basically start from the derivative entries of this skill.
The first thing Driggs did after activating his skill was to use the high temperature of his Flame Fist to stop the bleeding from the wound on his side.
According to his experience, if such a long and narrow open wound is subjected to strenuous exercise, the bleeding will become more severe.
"Zizzi-"
The scorching flames of the fist burned Driggs's side until it was black. Despite the severe pain, he remained calm and kept his eyes fixed on the swaying "Phantom Snow Mantis".
——(Is this guy really the Phantom Snow Mantis…?)
Recalling the strange feeling when he just blew up the opponent's head, Driggs vaguely realized where the problem might lie.
——(It seems... it's "something else" with the same appearance.)
Driggs believed that the monster he was fighting was most likely the dead body of the Phantom Snow Mantis.
Since the dead body was not dealt with by the killer, the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis turned into a "ghost" and "came back to life" again.
If something like this happened to a human, they would usually be called the "living dead." However, since this guy was a monster, Driggs called him a "ghost."
But... the movements of a 'ghost' are usually very stiff, so why can this guy still maintain the level of movement he had when he was alive?
Driggs didn't have time to think about such details. The first thing he had to do was to kill the ghost mantis completely.
Unlike regular monsters, resurrected ghost monsters do not rely on brains and hearts to move. In order to make them lie down completely, their bodies must be completely destroyed.
Driggs deliberately exposed a flaw to the mutilated ghost mantis, then took the opportunity when the opponent rushed straight towards him, dodged to the side, and launched a powerful and ferocious move at the monster...!
——(Falling Kick: Flame Pillar!)
Driggs raised his heel and landed a heavy blow on the Ghost Mantis's body. Immediately, a pillar of fire thicker than a tree trunk shot up into the sky, burning the Ghost Mantis's body to ashes!
At this point, this extra round of fighting has ended as Driggs expected.
However, something beyond his expectations happened again.
