Chapter 270: Retreat
After slashing at the bloody knight in front of him, the oldest Night Pond Walker found something wrong.
Although he had sucked back the blood with his blood-sucking expertise, another hidden pain had occurred in his body before, and the blood sucked back was not even enough to calm the pain.
The bodies of these Night Pond Walkers were too powerful, causing the young warriors to be unable to fully control them.
Unable to entangle with these big guys, his body was completely transformed into a shadow.
This Night Pond Walker ignored any physical volume collision, like a real shadow passing through the hundreds of bloody knights at the front, and plunged into the darkness behind, running around like a headless fly, and couldn't find the enemy's trace at all.
Active feat, Shadow Walk, while the incarnation can ignore the shadow energy of physical collision, it also doubles the movement speed of the Night Pond Walker, allowing the Night Pond Walker to use this feat to quickly leave the battle.
After using Ghost Walk to quickly transfer to the Bloody Knight, he began to wander around and kill the shadow beasts behind.
After killing a few shadow beasts, the experienced Night Pond Walker felt that the effect of blood sucking had finally returned to normal.
The blood energy absorbed began to slowly suppress the pain in his body, but it was a pity that the blood energy of these small gray-skinned humanoid creatures was too little. Killing ten of them could barely recover the blood energy lost by killing the Bloody Knight.
However, in this lightless darkness, the thin black mist emitted by the Vengeance Dark Eclipse perfectly blended into the darkness. Even the old Night Pond Walker could not detect the trace of the cursed black mist between reality and illusion, and passed through it without any defense.
Without the concern of pain in his body, the old Night Pond Walker killed more and more shadow beasts in the group of shadow beasts. He killed dozens of shadow beasts in a short while, and a large amount of blood and energy completely restored the curse caused by the life curse.
At this time, it fell into hesitation. Should it turn back and continue to kill the elite blood rider, or quickly pass through the remaining shadow beasts and behead them directly?
This hesitation made its movements slow down a little bit, and it was this little bit that made the shadow beast in front of the Night Pond Walker spit out an inconspicuous black light.
Shadow breath, this energy intensity can only be described as weak in the eyes of the Night Pond Walker. With his body's affinity for shadow energy, it will hardly be hurt!
However, things are often different from imagination. The body that the Night Pond Walker is proud of seems to have lost the favor of the dark night. After contacting this tiny black light, it quickly corroded the surrounding flesh and blood to form a huge wound, causing this veteran warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles to groan miserably.
The sound was particularly obvious in the darkness, and the dozen or so shadow beasts around immediately released their shadow breaths in the direction of the sound source.
When the Night Pond Walker recovered from the severe pain, the shadow breath had already reached his body. The moment the Shadow Walk was activated, the shadow breath reached his body, instantly corroding a large area of his body that had not yet completed the shadow transformation.
The huge amount of dark erosion damage violently interrupted the process of the Night Pond Walker's shadow transformation. Its tough body was eroded by dozens of layers of revenge dark erosion, like a piece of rag torn by the tiny and weak black light.
After these interlaced and fleeting black lights penetrated, the movement in the war beast formation finally subsided, and the darkness faded after more than a minute.
When the darkness dissipated, Xu Yi saw more than a dozen seriously injured and dying bloody knights, and nearly a hundred killed shadow beasts.
The corpses on the ground were those of a bloody knight and four Night Pond Walkers.
He frowned and thought about it. He had some intention to retreat. The casualties caused by the five Night Pond Walkers exceeded his expectations.
On average, one Night Pond Walker could replace more than three Blood Knights and several Shadow Beasts, and this rather tricky Lightless Moon trap made it impossible for him to take the initiative to control the situation.
With the arrival of wave after wave of reinforcements, the 540 Blood Knights would sooner or later be killed by the nearly 10,000 Night Pond Walkers mentioned by the two clan leaders.
By then, without the Blood Knights who were the only ones who could clamp down on the Night Pond Walkers, the remaining war beasts would only be slaughtered.
Without the obstruction of darkness, after being able to identify the direction, Xu Yi drove the army of war beasts to retreat in the opposite direction immediately.
Before retreating, he did not forget to gather the blood on the field and shot a Blood Moon Slash at the ruins that could trigger the Lightless Moon. The huge moon slash knocked down the entire broken wall, and Xu Yi hurriedly retreated without caring whether the trap could still work.
At least the carrier stone wall that tested this lightless moon trap has been decayed over time...
Just as Xu Yi led a group of three- and four-mark chiefs to retreat, a team of Night Pond Walkers riding strange black goat mounts appeared in front of the collapsed brick wall.
The Night Pond Walkers are more than two meters tall on average, and they look slender. Riding on the narrow black goats, they look even more tall and thin.
They don't have the grandeur of normal cavalry, but a narrow and cramped feeling, which makes people feel unhappy.
A Night Pond Walker leaned his body, turned off the goat, and came to the brick wall to check.
After fiddling with it for a few times, he actually turned out a completely broken black skull from the broken bricks and stones.
Looking at the skull that was broken into several pieces, the most fatal damage was a crack that corroded it into two halves at the nasal bone. Some parts were smashed into powder by fallen bricks. The possibility of restoring it was almost impossible.
"Another sacrificial vessel is damaged? One less defense point, and there is another loophole in the area we can control." A Night Pond walker who was still riding on the black goat said.
"In the past hundred years, the barbarians have never stopped infiltrating this place. What they are seeking is still the legacy left by the Night Pond tribe."
"As the biggest beneficiary back then, we are the first to face the situation surrounded by wolves. It is inevitable."
The Night Pond walker holding the broken skull frowned slightly, and this frown made deep wrinkles on his forehead appear. This is obviously a Night Pond walker who has reached at least middle age.
It tilted its head slightly and looked at the patrolling goat team of the Night Pond Walker clan behind it, and its tone gradually became excited:
"The Night Pond clan has never been afraid of danger. The most important thing now is to kill those who dare to challenge our clan!"
"If we can't even accept the temptations of these barbarian tribes, how can we protect these treasures?"
He stared closely at the black goat riders who belonged to the Night Pond Walker clan behind him, and his eyes swept across the faces of these Night Pond Walkers one by one.
"Follow me and chop all the insects that dare to set foot in my Night Pond Holy Land!"
