Chapitre 18: The skeleton warrior can also serve as a meat shield
Lin Moyu had already noticed the arrival of the invaders through the skeleton warriors.
The archers and mages they had encountered today were now joined by another knight with sword and shield.
The three people surrounded them from different directions.
Ning Yi's eyebrows furrowed and her delicate face twisted in displeasure.
"This is a relentless hunt for a scroll with mediocre abilities. They've been chasing me for days and won't give up."
Ning Yi stomped his foot vigorously and said to Lin Moyu, "I'll leave now. We can continue playing another time."
Zack!
An arrow shot out of the darkness, but Ning Yi reacted quickly and dodged it immediately.
The arrow exploded with a bang and split into two streaks of light, each landing on Lin Moyu and Ning Yi.
A huge mark appeared above Lin Moyu and Ning Yi's heads, shining in the darkness like a radiant lamp.
"Uh-oh, that's a tracking arrow!"
Ning Yi's face turned pale. She knew that things were about to get messy.
Lin Moyu remembered the description of the tracking arrow.
It was an archery skill that could be used to mark a target to make it conspicuous and prevent it from going into stealth mode.
The tracking arrow was very effective against assassin-like professions and limited their cloaking ability.
And in dungeon battles, it could be used against cloaked monsters.
Once they were marked by an archer, their cloaking ability was limited, making it difficult to escape.
"You can't escape this time"
A mocking voice rang out as the mage they had encountered earlier emerged from the forest.
On another side, the archer was standing on a tree.
And on the other side, the knight had also arrived.
The mage waved his staff and let his cold gaze wander over Lin Moyu and Ning Yi.
"I knew you were together."
"Filthy assassins like rats paired with evil and dark necromancers make a good pair."
A faint glint passed through Ning Yi's hand, and a dagger that emitted a faint blue light appeared in her hand. "He has nothing to do with this. I'll give you the scroll, and then we'll both go our separate ways"
The archer in the tree chuckled. "If it had been yesterday, it would be fine, but now we think it's safer to kill you."
The mage added: "Dead people are safest. That way no one will know we have a scroll with a medium ability, which will save us a lot of trouble."
Ning Yi whispered, "I'll stop them, you run away."
Lin Moyu looked at her. "What about you?"
"I'm a shadow assassin. The night is my domain; I've a way to escape, of course."
Lin Moyu knew that Ning Yi had just said that. If Ning Yi could really handle it, she wouldn't have escaped today.
The opponents were definitely stronger.
As a shadow assassin, she might have been able to escape earlier, but now that the archer's tracking arrow was activated, her stealth ability was nullified, making it difficult for her to escape.
The archer spoke in a low voice: "The night is long, and there are many dreams. Don't waste time, let's set off."
The mage raised his staff and a bright light shot into the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
Illuminate!
The mage's illumination spell not only provided light, but also dispelled the darkness and increased the accuracy of the mage's spell.
Most importantly, the illumination spell could also thwart the assassins' cloaking abilities.
This made Ning Yi even more uncomfortable.
"We have to fight for our lives."
A glimmer appeared in Ning Yi's hand, and a blue dagger materialized. She tensed her body, her large eyes narrowing slightly, her gaze becoming sharp as she looked for an opportunity.
The archer on the tree had already strung his bow, ready to shoot at any moment.
The knight had also drawn his sword and shield and assumed an attack stance.
The mage's staff gleamed.
When the three of them came together, Ning Yi and Lin Moyu no longer had a chance to escape.
At this moment, Lin Moyu raised his finger slightly and a skeleton warrior appeared in front of him.
"Tch, a waste of effort!"
The mage grinned disdainfully, his gaze filled with disgust.
"Arcane fireball!"
With a light command, the mage summoned a gigantic fireball, almost a meter in diameter and shrouded in roaring flames, and shot it towards the two of them.
Arcane Fireball" was a spell that mages only mastered from level 20 and which possessed immense power.
Once hit, even the undead would be injured.
"Quick, dodge!" Ning Yi's face changed drastically and he immediately pulled Lin Moyu back.
When the mage threw the fireball, he also immediately released a mental binding spell.
While Ning Yi was pulling Lin Moyu back, she suddenly felt her body become heavy and her speed slowed down.
An invisible mental thread spread out from the staff and entangled her feet as well.
While Ning Yi was bound by the mental binding, the archer also acted.
With a whirring sound of the bowstring, an arrow shot off.
In the middle of its trajectory, the arrow split into three pieces.
A triple shot!
One of the techniques of the archer who shoots an arrow that splits into three parts and can thus achieve three times the attack power.
At that moment, the knight charged towards them with astonishing speed.
"It's over!"
Ning Yi's face turned ashen.
Suddenly, she pushed Lin Moyu hard and shoved him out of range of the attack.
At this moment, two skeletal warriors appeared on either side of Ning Yi.
The three Skeleton Warriors acted like shields and firmly protected Ning Yi.
The mage's fireball landed on the skeletal warriors and exploded with a bang, engulfing the surroundings in flames.
The archer's triple shot hit the skeletal warriors and caused metallic-sounding noises.
The knight also clashed with the skeleton warriors. While the skeleton warriors lay motionless, the knight was thrown into the air.
Amidst the flames, the skeletal warriors slowly reappeared, emitting a faint bluish-white light that showed no signs of injury.
"How is this possible!"
The mage could not believe his eyes.
He had already checked with Detect Magic that Lin Moyu was only a level 10 necromancer.
The level of the summoned creatures could not exceed that of the necromancer himself, and it was only level 10.
With his level 21 strength, how could he not be able to kill his opponent with one shot?
The archer and the knight were also stunned. What was this summoned creature that was so strong?
Bang!
Bang!
Accompanied by an unpleasant crunching sound, more skeleton warriors appeared around them.
In total, there were 44 skeleton warriors closely surrounding the three of them.
