An hour later.
The night grew deeper, nebulae were floating in the sky, and Rhett and several hundred people were approaching Mount Potts.
In order to avoid causing too much noise, the number of people led by Rhett was indeed not large, and their purpose was to use themselves as bait, and they did not suppress the rumbling footsteps.
Finally, when crossing a stream, this group of several hundred people was "successfully" detected by a team of patrolling night owls.
To be more precise, it was Leiter who first discovered this group of night owl patrols. The leader was a fifth-level night owl, leading more than 20 low-level night owls, moving in the dark without being noticeable at all. If it weren't for Leiter's super mental power, even a transcendent of the same level would have found it difficult to sense this race that was naturally good at sneaking at night.
Leiter wanted to kill all the night owls, but then he thought, since he was going to use himself as bait, this was a great opportunity to let the night owls go back and tip them off. Besides, the troops he led were not that many, and he was a newcomer, so he simply disguised himself as an ordinary intermediate magician and did not kill the night owl.
While chasing the Night Owls, Rhett deliberately slowed down his speed and stretched out his hand to make a few hand gestures and code words agreed upon before setting off, meaning to pretend to chase them, but actually let this team of orcs go back to tip off.
“Meow, meow!”
In the night, the cries of the Night Owls continued to float in the cold wind. These were caused by the long-range attacks of the Earth Knights and Magisters. However, these warriors obeyed the orders and did not kill them all.
The team of several hundred people had been chasing on the cold plains. After deliberately slowing down for a while, they were left further and further behind by the Night Owl Man. Not long after, when they passed a chaotic valley, the Night Owl Man took advantage of the terrain and successfully "escaped".
"Damn it, these night owls got away!"
Vides was right next to Rhett. He stomped his feet in a serious manner, kicked away a few angular stones, and cursed angrily.
Leiter pretended to be worried and looked around. The black stones were arranged in various strange shapes, like demons with bared fangs and claws. He pretended not to sense the fifth-level night owl hidden in two small cracks in the stone. He quickly glanced at them and turned to the team behind him and said, "We are almost close to Mount Boz. Our team is not strong enough. It is too dangerous to stay here. Everyone listen up, let's go back along the original route!"
After receiving the order, the whole team turned around and started jogging.
A few minutes later, their team ran out of the rocky valley and the terrain became flat and open again.
However, after seeing this scene, the Night Owl Man who was hiding became a little anxious. He was worried that after this team escaped completely, they would lose the opportunity to support the troops in the counter-encirclement.
So, without caring about the risk of being exposed, it yelled loudly! "Meow!"
The roar of the Night Owl Man was heard again from the rocky valley behind them, and Rhett stopped the team. He looked around with pretended confusion, but could not see any trace of the Night Owl Man at all.
But from his spiritual perception, the two night owls were still hiding behind a huge rock, trembling.
Lei Te pretended not to know, but the innocent voice echoed again: "From the sound just now, the night owl should be injured and hiding in the valley behind. We must search for him!"
Then, under Rhett's orders, a team of several hundred people broke into the valley again, divided into several small teams, and began to search one suspicious place after another.
These places were carefully selected by Rhett to avoid the actual hiding places of the fifth-level Night Owl People, and he also ordered his troops to go in the opposite direction and disperse.
In the darkness, the night owl hiding in the night had a cold smile on his face. His dark pupils flickered, as deep as black gemstones. When he looked through the gap at the group of extraordinary humans, he revealed a cold murderous intent! He waited patiently. After more than ten minutes, the night owl hiding behind the boulder suddenly felt a hand patting his back. He felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end. Someone was approaching him, but he didn't notice it at all?
The fighting instinct developed over a long period of time made him subconsciously want to swing out a cat claw to fight back.
But it was too slow and there was no time for it to move before the hand on its back pressed down.
The familiar touch instantly made this fifth-level night owl feel at ease. Even a touch of surprise surged into his heart.
It opened its mouth excitedly, wanting to call "Commander", but when it turned around, it saw the other party looking at it coldly. His deep pupils were full of indifference, and he shook his head.
So, this fifth-level night owl immediately quieted down, nodded to indicate that he understood what he meant, but stretched out a hand and pointed to the gap between the boulders. In the gap, one could see flickering light elements and light-based fighting spirit, shining in the night and illuminating the ground.
The night owl who had quietly arrived also saw the scene ahead through the gap, a creepy smile appeared on his face, and at the same time, the pair of sharp claws in his hands suddenly extended, becoming sharper and longer!
It is the captain of the night owls stationed at Mount Potz, a high-level orc. Originally, it was also performing tasks outside at night, but when it was returning to Mount Potz, it happened to meet a patrol team that was preparing to report a message. After learning about the situation, it heard that there were only a few hundred people, and they were all low- and middle-level extraordinary people. It rushed over without hesitation.
In its opinion, if it only had this much strength, it could solve the problem by itself in the dark!
Of course, it also ordered other teams to follow behind, but the speed of these orcs was obviously slower than it, and it would take some time for them to come and collect the bodies.
That's right, it was collecting corpses. In its eyes, the following wave of human soldiers would soon become corpses...
At this moment, no one noticed that a human transcendent was intentionally or unintentionally moving towards the position of the two night owls, and the rest of the soldiers also began to slowly walk towards the outside of the valley.
The two Night Owls hadn't noticed the abnormal distribution of the soldiers yet, but under their feet, a vortex of quicksand suddenly condensed, and the rocky ground instantly turned into a pool of sandy yellow "spring water", and waves of strong pulling came, as if to completely swallow the two Night Owls.
“Meow!”
Then there was the sound of shattering rocks. The high-level Night Owl finally reacted. It sensed the abnormality of the earth element below, swung its arms to smash the rocks in front of it, and with the help of the reaction force, it jumped up with its great agility.
Taking advantage of the brief gap, its eyes saw Rhett, who was looking up at it on the ground, and a look of disbelief flashed across their faces.
What's going on? Isn't it said that the highest level is only the fifth level of magician? How can the strength of a great magician suddenly burst out? One after another, doubts came to mind, but after all, the intelligence of high-level orcs is not much worse than that of humans. Soon, the night owl reacted and thought that this might be a trap set by humans!
After fighting with humans for many years, it was well aware that humans were good at all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, so it subconsciously jumped to the top of the highest mountain. Looking from the ground, it looked like it was using the moon as its backdrop.
This high-level night owl stood on the top and looked around, but did not find the second high-level human transcendent.
"Could it be that the other party only sent out one great magician?"
The high-level Night Owl looked down at Leiter and blinked. It seemed to be true. At least it didn't find any other high-level extraordinary people. A hint of joy gradually appeared in its eyes. A lone great magician was not a strong threat to it. Fighting alone, it even had a chance to kill him! And if it really did it, it would definitely be a great achievement for it, and it would be rewarded when it returned! Thinking of this, the high-level Night Owl's eyes became hot, staring at Leiter below, his heart filled with endless killing intent.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation of earth element in the air, and three khaki sand wolves suddenly condensed into a group. Each of them was agile and nimble, and they pounced on the Night Owl Man in the air!
The high-level Night Owl looked at the surrounding sand wolves and sneered, not taking it seriously at all. The next moment, its figure disappeared into the night sky, as if it had completely lost its trace, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
Even Rhett could only barely sense with his mental power that the other party had landed on the ground, made a big circle and ran behind him, preparing to launch a surprise attack on him!
Rhett also took advantage of the situation and pretended to be cautious as he turned around and looked around.
As expected, the high-level Night Owl man fully seized this opportunity, suddenly appeared, and rushed straight towards Rhett's back like a black arc of light. His pair of sharp claws flashed cold light in the night, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
puff
A very slight sound rang out from the darkness. It was not the sound of claws piercing flesh and heart as imagined. It was actually like a knife piercing a sandbag. The sound was very weak! The high-level night owl, who thought he was about to win and was happy, was stunned. Why was the situation different from what he imagined? Why did the touch of a human head feel so strange? Then, something even more incredible happened. Leiter's neck turned at an angle that violated common sense, and he looked at the night owl with a sneer.
The next moment, a spike pierced out along Rhett's quicksand-like soles, directly passed through Rhett's body, and very covertly emerged from Rhett's armpit, piercing the night owl man.
At the same time, a mysterious force vibrated and blew up half of the Night Owl Man's body.
The high-level Night Owl Man didn't have time to be frightened before the drum's pieces of flesh scattered everywhere, and the monster's blood was also spilled all over the ground, emitting hot smoke in the cold air.
Rhett's trick of using himself as bait not only worked wonders in luring the opponent's high-level orcs, but it also worked time and time again in life-and-death battles!
“Meow!”
“Meow!”
A shrill scream echoed in the night sky.
The soldiers who were several hundred meters away only came to their senses at this moment. The battle happened too quickly. From the time the first Night Owl man screamed and died to the time the second Night Owl man appeared and was seriously injured, only a few seconds had passed!
They stared at Leiter in astonishment. This new commander almost killed a high-level orc right at the start? At this moment, they looked at Leiter's back with awe and admiration! The next moment, a large area of elemental and fighting spirit light appeared in the distance. Wind blades, fireballs, spikes, light arrows, etc., all fell on the seriously injured high-level night cat.
Suddenly, daylight appeared between heaven and earth.
Although this high-level night owl was seriously injured, he was no pushover. Facing the overwhelming attacks of all kinds, he supported himself on the ground with one leg, gently bent his knees, and then jumped up again at a high speed, jumping to another mountain peak.
The blood was still flowing, and it stared at Rhett with resentment. It wanted to say a few harsh words, but three sand wolves climbed up the mountain vertically at an extremely fast speed and chased it relentlessly. This high-level night owl could only jump up and down in embarrassment for a while.
Soon after, the troops supporting Rhett also arrived. Ledros nervously ran at the front of the team, but when he saw the high-level Night Owl fleeing in the night, covered in blood, his eyes suddenly lit up! I didn't expect that I would encounter a surprise as soon as I arrived. Rhett had actually severely injured a high-level Night Owl? Ledros shouted, "Well done, Rhett!"
At the same time, he also drew out a giant bow, bent the bow and put an arrow on it, infusing it with infinite water-based fighting spirit. Soon, a light blue light condensed on the arrow, and then under the compression of the fighting spirit, it turned into an icy arrow. Finally, as Ledros released the bowstring, the arrow shot out with a whoosh, flashing a dazzling light in the night sky, and instantly pierced through the shoulder of the high-level Night Owl Man, nailing it to a rock.
The huge force carried by the arrow even broke the rock into several pieces of rubble. Then the remaining force continued and brought the high-level Night Owl to a hill before stopping its momentum.
At this time, Rhett waved to Tucker in the crowd, and the other party immediately understood. Accompanied by Rhett, he walked to the front of the Night Owl Man. While the Night Owl Man was unconscious, he hid behind Rhett who was holding up the Rock Light Shield, and quickly finished off the Night Owl Man, completing the harvest.
Ledros, who arrived later, had no objection to this. The night owl's injuries were already extremely serious. Even if Tucker didn't do anything, he would die in a few minutes because no one treated him.
