Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 32: Dragon and Lion Cliff Four

At the camp near the hiking trail, three soldiers in scaled armor were sitting around a bonfire to eat. Sausages and potatoes were boiled in their pots with lots of garlic, and they could smell it from far downwind.

Siegel suddenly felt hungry and wanted to eat that spicy and delicious broth. But he was ashamed of the thought again, swallowing a few mouthfuls and holding back the feeling in his lower abdomen.

"Tonight is the night of the lunar eclipse. There are only stars twinkling in the sky, and there will be no other lights." The dwarf whispered: "I saw that the stone statue next to the entrance to the top of the mountain is still intact, and there are still bloodstains on the road to climb the mountain. The enemy also Without the guards breaking through the cave, we can't let them get away with it."

"I saw that there were still figures shaking in the tent, there were about 20 others." Elf Leah said, "We can still deal with spearmen and archers, but the caster doesn't know what kind of abilities they will use."

"Turn their necks around and the caster will die!" Erinte replied.

"Your compatriots, the compatriots who guard the watchtower, are they all good dwarves?" The elf did not wait for Erint to answer, and then said: "They were raided and fought bravely, but they didn't even have an alarm or wolf smoke. Send it out. I know you don't like spellcasters, but don't belittle the power of your fellow men either."

The dwarf nodded and calmed down: "You're right, Elf. The battle has to be fought step by step, so I'm a little impatient." Afterwards, he carefully observed the surrounding environment and recalled the details of their last adventure at Dragon Lion Cliff.

"I have a plan." The dwarf motioned for everyone to listen carefully: "The group of people fought with the stone guards, and let's assume they don't know the relationship between the moonless night and the cave. Then our lowest goal is not to let them get the treasure. ."

"Agree!" The plateau man and the elves nodded.

"But Leah is right. I don't know what the spellcasters will do. Maybe they have discovered the weakness of the stone guards. So we have to divide our troops. I looked at the cliff, from the destroyed one. There's a place on the road where you can jump on a well-established mountain road. I remember you, Leah, doing that."

The elf nodded and admitted: "Yes, when I came last time, I jumped on each of the two roads once. But Erinte, I don't think you can jump over."

"The three of us will stay and keep watching the enemy camp. If they come out at night, then we will start to attack and affect their movements. Leah, be careful after you enter the cave, the main thing is to destroy the movements of those people, the treasures and It doesn't matter, we can come again in three years. At that time, I will come with an army!"

"Maybe the army is already on its way," Siegel said.

"Yes." The dwarf nodded: "According to the messenger's footsteps, he must have found the watchtower at the top of Mora's Peak, and sent the signal of the gem family. My nephew Orcas should have already set off for the whole army. It only takes five more days and they will definitely arrive."

"I'll find an opportunity to get some treasures out, and you can't come here for nothing." Leah smiled and said, "Maybe you were having a good time outside, and then you saw me appear with a bag of good things."

"I like this scene." Dio gave a thumbs up.

"I'm going to scout on the mountain road first. You three men hide here." Leah put away her weapons and said with empty hands, "I'm going to start climbing."

After speaking, she lightly left the rock where she was hiding. The elf was like a flexible squirrel. After a few simple ups and downs, it climbed the broken mountain wall trail, turned to the other side of the cliff, and disappeared from the sight of several people. Siegel turned his gaze to the camp on the other side, where nothing had changed. The cremation mound was still burning, and the archers and spearmen walked about mechanically, with the precision of a pendulum. Something was wrong, Siegel's intuition told him, urging him to look carefully and watch carefully. He slumped on the rock, held his breath, did not dare to relax at all, and swept from one side of the camp to the other, imprinting the details in his mind.

Finally, he saw the blank flag above the tent, and a voice reminded him in his mind: "Look! It's there!" Siegel only felt his body soften, but his mind became more concentrated. In addition to the everyday light, there seem to be other lines floating in the air. Around the flames, on the rocks, and in the flowing air, Siegel guessed it was the movement of the elements, the shadows they left in the world. Likewise, the fluttering flag showed a pattern—a red swirl pattern.

The vortex is slowly rotating, emitting light red lines outward. In Siegel's eyes, these lines pulsate like blood vessels, conveying mystical powers. The archers, the spearmen, and the soldiers who boiled the garlic broth all had threads like this attached to their heads, and others poked into the tents.

Above each flag, there is a black skull floating, with its toothless mouth open, greedily absorbing the smoke from the burning corpse. Red flames burned in the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, spinning like a vortex. Every few breaths, the skeleton's mouth will close, and then many red spears will be launched from both eyes, flying towards the Dragon Lion Cliff. Most attacked the stone statues standing still at the entrance of the cave, and some fell on the passage of the mountain.

"Elinte, Dio, have you seen the terrifying skeleton floating on the camp?"

The two shook their heads. In their eyes, everything is normal.

"This is not right, I need to go to Master Leia." Siegel said quickly: "I saw a strange sight, a smoke skeleton was shooting red spears around. I don't think it's good, I must go to the mountain road to see ."

"Son, let's go together." The dwarf whispered, "I'm starting to feel uneasy when you say this. I hope those magicians aren't playing tricks in your mind."

A few people carefully came under the broken mountain road, and the enemy paid no attention to it at all. They looked up, and from here they could see the elf Leah lying motionless on the path. Her cloak swayed gently in the wind, but luckily the area wasn't visible from the camp's point of view.

The spear shot from the skeleton's eye socket drew an arc in the air, falling on the trail from time to time, and then silently absorbed by the mountain. Not to mention solid rock, even the dust on the ground will not be stirred up by this spear. But Siegel believes that these red rays are by no means a good thing, and Elf Leia should be hurt by these things.

"Don't move, I'll bring the master down," Siegel said. He held the Highland Barbarian's wrist and motioned him to calm down: "I can see red spears flying in the sky, but you can't, trust me!"

Dio asked Erinte's opinion with his eyes, and when he saw the dwarf nodded, he became quiet, and just said, "Be careful. If there is any danger, call us immediately!"

Siegel took off his weight, took off his breastplate, and only wore close-fitting clothes. He silently counted the frequency of the skeleton's attack, observed the flying red spear from the corner of his eye, and quickly approached the elf with the experience of climbing the top of Mora.

The mountain road is narrow, and it is difficult to turn sideways, let alone dodge. Siegel let go of his hand several times and quickly fell a few steps with the help of the earth's attraction, before he could barely avoid the red spear. Erinte and Dio were very worried below, thinking that he missed and fell a few times, and almost cried out. Siegel lay down on the steps, gasping for breath. During this time, another red spear hit the elf, and Leah's body only trembled a few times, but there was no other reaction.

"Damn, I can't delay any longer!" Siegel thought to himself, "I can't be like a mouse, shivering in front of a cat and unable to do anything! I'm an adult, and I have to fight."

Since it is impossible to look at the dangerous spear and the steep mountain road at the same time, then only focus on one side. Siegel raised his head, looked at the path to the elf's location again, and tried to imprint it in his mind. Then, he aimed all his energy at the skeleton, predicted the direction of the red ray, and started the second round of climbing.

"Let the body complete the movements naturally." Elf Leah taught him this. This time, Siegel really showed a sense of fluidity that only an elf warrior can achieve. His body was like a fallen leaf in the wind, moving with the situation and his heart. The red ray brushed his body, and Siegel didn't hesitate or hesitate--he knew that just by moving his hips slightly, and then moving up 10 centimeters, he could perfectly avoid the attack, and he wouldn't. Affects climbing speed.

"Do you think that Siegel acts like an elf?" the dwarf asked from under the cliff, "Did I have an illusion?"

Dio couldn't answer this question~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He clenched his fists and prayed for his companion: "May the gods bless..." In his prayer, Siegel grabbed the elf's ankle and dragged her Down and put it on his shoulders. The young man swayed, jumped down a few steps, then regained his footing and slid down against the mountain wall.

The barbarian hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the elf and put her on the ground. The dwarf took out the special medicine made by the gem clan. The elf is still alive, her heartbeat and breathing are normal, and there is no blood on her body. But she couldn't move at all, her eyes opened and closed, like a frozen ice sculpture.

Siegel used a dagger to pry open the elf's teeth, and Erint poured the potion down slowly, taking care not to choke the elf to death. The potion worked immediately, Leah's breathing became stronger, and her fingers began to shake slightly. After a few minutes, the elf gradually regained control over his body, and he could blink, nod, and make ummmmmmm sounds. Siegel helped her massage her hands and feet, Dio kept watch, and Erinte poured her another bottle of potion. When the last ray of sunset was about to disappear into the sky, the elves finally recovered.

"I was paralyzed, my body was completely unconscious, and I couldn't call on natural forces, but my mind was still working. Thank you, Siegel, for taking the risk and saving me." Leah told her companions what happened: "I didn't see where the attack was coming from, and I didn't hear the spell caster chanting. An invisible force is doing the trick!"

"Siegel saw it. He found something strange." The dwarf tugged at his beard and said in a low voice, "Son, tell us what you saw."
