Under the dim light of the night.
Søren's figure flew out, shuttling through the dense tropical jungle, moving towards the distance at high speed. He was not unfamiliar with such a terrain. When he came to the outer islands to complete a legendary level mission, Søren also fought with the best trackers here. This group of guys had a very powerful tracking ability. They could track the target through footprints, smell, environment, and so on. Even Søren had improved a lot of tracking skills after fighting with them.
Pa-da!
Søren's toes tapped lightly on a big tree, and then slowly landed on the ground.
There were many messy footprints in front of him. Although a lot of them were covered by weeds, the traces left by high-speed movements were still very obvious. Søren raised his hand and looked for traces of something being dragged away. It was a bit like the traces left by heels. He found a little dark red blood, but there was not much blood. It seemed that the battle was over soon. Søren could already imagine the situation at that time. The pirate scouts he sent out were suddenly attacked, and before they could react, most of them were killed. Then one of them successfully escaped, and the other scouts were dragged away.
"Looks like they're all masters!"
Søren's eyes showed a trace of coldness, and his face showed a cruel expression. He slowly said, "Kill these scouts first. They seem to be the elites of the indigenous tribes!"
Jungle fighting was different from flat ground fighting.
The most common thing here was encounter and ambush fighting. Even a grade 4 profession could die in the hands of a low-grade profession that was proficient in tracking and hiding. Because there were too many environments for ambush, and there were many natural traps that could be used. Many brilliant trackers could kill other professions that were 5 levels higher than them here. The most dangerous ability of these indigenous people was tracking and hiding traps, and then there were the use of blowdarts and hidden weapons, etc.
However!
This time, they might not be so lucky, because Rogues were also experts in this field!
Søren moved quickly along the traces in the grass. His tracking ability was not very good, but it was not enough to lose the traces left today. Brilliant rangers could even track the traces left a few days ago, and even distinguish what kind of enemy left them. Therefore, Søren had always attached great importance to tracking skills. He moved quickly along the grass. He could be sure that the indigenous elites had not returned to the tribe, because they could not know the number of Søren's men if they were not close to the camp.
— — "Shadow Hiding!"
After crossing a stream, Søren's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
He heard a little movement.
It was a scream!
It seemed that the pirate scouts sent out during the day were not all killed by them, and one or two survivors were brought back by them. A trace of killing intent appeared in Soran's eyes. His whole body was shrouded in shadows, and he approached the mountain wall in front of him where some screams came from. There were many places in the outer islands that looked like the Irish coastline. The landscape structure here was completely different from the southern continental shelf. What Søren saw in front of him was a natural cave. It seemed that the enemy was quite familiar with the nearby terrain. No one had come to this cave for a long time.
It was a little dark inside, and the cave was not very deep.
Søren heard a slight scream again, and saw a faint fire in the cave. It seemed that there was a corner in the cave.
He did not recklessly sneak in.
Søren reached out and touched the ground, carefully observing the surroundings. His Darkvision allowed him to see as clearly at night as during the day. Soon he found a rather clever alarm trap. The indigenous people were very cunning, and their living environment was also very harsh. For someone who could easily kill the pirate scouts sent by Søren, it was impossible for them to be unprepared at night.
Søren's trap skills were not enough!
He glanced at it and felt that he might not be able to successfully remove the trap without making a sound. Even if he was lucky enough to remove it, it would take too long. Søren reached out and grabbed the edge of the cave. Then, he climbed into the cave along the corner as if he was hanging in the air. He was just one or two centimeters away from the alarm trap.
The people inside the trap would be immediately alerted!
The scream continued.
There were broken stones in the cave, so Søren had to be careful. He heard the common language and the indigenous language, but he could not hear what was being said clearly because the screams were interrupted.
The enemy seemed to be interrogating!
Søren did not dare to be careless. His figure slowly approached in the dark. As he turned a corner, the situation in front of him appeared in front of his eyes. He saw five indigenous people with oil paint on their bodies. The skin of these indigenous people was darker, but it was not like the black race. Instead, it was like a mixture of the black race and the Native Americans. The bone structure of these guys was thicker, obviously thicker than the bone frame of the mainland people. They were interrogating a pirate scout. The pirate who was being interrogated was badly mutilated. His appearance could not be distinguished at all. His breathing was also very weak. It seemed that he would not last long.
There was an indigenous person who looked different next to him. It was obvious that he did not have oil paint on his body.
A cold light appeared in Søren's eyes!
Because he recognized that this indigenous person was one of the slaves who escaped from him. Because he knew the common language, he was helping to translate the interrogation and telling them the information in the indigenous language.
One, two, three, four, five.
Søren's eyes were full of killing intent. He quietly approached the enemy who had been asking questions and looked like the leader of the indigenous people.
— — "Backstab!"
— — "Shadowstrike!"
An icy cold light suddenly appeared!
Søren's figure emerged from the shadows. The legendary curved sword Icingdeath drew a cold light and instantly pierced the heart of the indigenous leader. The tip of the sword penetrated from the back to the chest. The other party's expression was full of shock. Before he could change, he died under Søren's hands.
A row of data quickly appeared:
"Shadowstrike successful!"
"Shadowstrike launched!"
"Backstab launched!"
"Successfully launched Backstab, causing 116 (+ 10) piercing damage to the target! … Piercing the target's heart! … Triggered the Test of Death! … Target's Test of Death failed! … "
"Target dead!"
"Extracting the target's soul energy. Received 3250 Slaughter EXP."
…
As the Slaughter EXP data emerged.
Søren immediately guessed the approximate strength of the opponent in his mind. It should be an enemy above Profession Level 15, a leader in the indigenous tribe. The enemy seemed to have more than a hundred HP, but because his heart was pierced, he did not pass the Test of Death. Therefore, he could not survive for a period of time like some of the enemies that Soran had encountered in the past.
— — "Sword Form: Spinning Strike!"
After killing the enemy's leader with a sneak attack, Søren did not retreat. On the contrary, he rushed up directly. Another curved sword appeared in his hands out of thin air. He spun it in a circle and slashed at the other two enemies in front of him.
Caught off guard!
This was the most common reaction under a sneak attack. Many people were caught off guard, and their ability to dodge and parry was greatly reduced.
In this case, it was the best time to test one's ability.
One of the indigenous people almost subconsciously dodged sideways, then rolled to open the distance, but the other indigenous person was a little slower. He was directly hit in the chest by Søren, and even a large part of his lung was cut open. The former was an indigenous person with a reflex evasion ability, while the latter obviously did not have any powerful evasion ability. Once he encountered a sudden situation, he would inevitably be slower by half a beat.
Swoosh!
In the face of Søren who suddenly appeared and killed their leader, the indigenous people reacted quickly.
They began to fight back quickly.
However, instead of pulling out a weapon, they quickly took out a blow dart. With a few faint cold lights, the blow dart flew out like steel needles. They hit Søren's body, but it did not have the effect it should have.
— — "Stoneskin!"
The blow dart did not break through Søren's Stoneskin. These blow dart with strong anesthetic had no effect at all.
Dang! Dang!
The blow dart fell to the ground, but Søren jumped out and slashed at the seriously injured enemy.
A row of data quickly appeared:
"Shadowstrike activated!"
"You've dealt 56 (+ 10) Slash Damage to the target! … You've dealt 26 Slash Damage to the target! … "
"Target dead!"
"Extracting target's soul energy, gained 2150 Slaughter EXP."
…
Søren's sword was extremely fast!
Almost at the same time as the Icingdeath in his right hand slashed the enemy, the curved sword in his left hand immediately slashed the enemy's abdomen. Søren, who had mastered [Greater Dual-wielding], could almost achieve the effect of "Left and Right Mutual Attack". The curved sword in both hands could fight independently. When he killed the indigenous person in front of him, his left hand almost immediately turned around and directly blocked the attack from the side. Then he bent forward and slashed the enemy's arm with his right hand.
Dang! Dang!
With a splash of blood, three fingers were cut off.
Thump.
Søren's two swords turned into cold lights, and he turned around to cut off half of the hand. At the same time, a distorted shadow appeared beside him, and then two heads fell to the ground.
— — "Shadowstrike!"
— — "Summon Shadow!"
— — "Sword Form: Beheading!"
Søren's eyes were cold, and he did not hesitate at all. When the summoned shadow in front of him entangled the enemy, he slashed at the enemy's head.
Thump!
A headless body fell to the ground. Søren was covered in blood, and there was only one enemy left in front of him.
