Monarch of Evernight: One, three, two, ambush
bsp;Boom!
The sound of thunder is as its name suggests, every time it fires, it is like thunder roaring around you. In the sight of the scope, the trunk on the left side of the giant tree suddenly exploded, leaving a large gap. The bullet also passed through the tree and flew into the fog.
A black shadow flashed across the right side of the giant tree and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, you made the wrong choice again." Qianye put away his thunder and couldn't help but curse.
Without a second glance, Qianye could confirm that the escaping shadow was the dark race attacker. This time they missed, and both sides returned to the same starting line. The next step was to see who could spot who first.
He and Aiden have been fighting for several days, with the roles of hunter and prey constantly changing, but neither can do anything to the other. Qianye fully realized how dangerous and difficult this opponent was.
Generally speaking, Qianye had the slight upper hand. He accidentally discovered that there was another follower around Aiden, and he spent a lot of effort to arrange it. He did not hesitate to use his body as a bait to kill the other follower and successfully escaped. That time Qianye also paid the price and was seriously injured.
Aiden originally thought that he could establish an advantage, so he abandoned the main force and pursued Qianye. But he didn't expect that after just one night, Qianye seemed to have returned to his peak condition and almost succeeded in ambushing him.
For several days, neither of them could get rid of the other, and they were entangled repeatedly.
After Aiden sent the two dark armies out of the edge of the misty forest, he did not follow them. Yong Ye's troop deployment has not ended yet, and there are still several teams that will take this road in the next few days. He cannot let Qian Ye hunt unscrupulously in the forest, otherwise the losses of those elite troops will exceed those on the front battlefield.
But Aiden did not leave, and he was playing into Qianye's plan. The forces gathered by the dark race in this area have exceeded expectations. If there is another strong man like Aiden who relies on an organized army to hunt, it will be almost impossible. It would be a one-sided massacre. At least the free men Qianye had seen at the Li family base, not to mention becoming Aiden's opponents, would not even be able to escape once they were targeted.
In this way, the two restrained and hunted each other, and unknowingly, they had a deep understanding of each other.
Qianye's field of vision is still farther than Aiden's. Although this distance is only about fifty meters, it is enough to establish an advantage that cannot be ignored. Moreover, Qianye is superior to Aiden in terms of physical defense and recovery ability.
However, Aiden also has his own advantages. His stealth is still superior to Qianye's, his hunting skills are comparable to Qianye's, and finally, his powerful heavy sniper Shadow Chant. Although Qianye barely resisted one shot, he never wanted to take a second shot.
Another brief contact battle, both of them achieved nothing.
Qianye was the one who struck first. He missed a hit and immediately ran away. After running for a few kilometers, we made another circle and slowly approached the original area.
At this moment, a small group of dark warriors suddenly appeared within his range of perception, about a hundred people, basically composed of spider demons and werewolves. This is a classic fighting team, and the combination of spider demons and werewolves is quite common on the battlefield.
If we talk about prey, spider demons are Qianye’s favorite, even more so than the vampires. A creature as large as a spider demon is a living target for long-range sniper rifles.
The team is led by a Nerubian Baron, which is a very valuable target. On the battlefield, the role that the spider demon, which resembles a chariot, can play is far superior to that of werewolves and vampires of the same level.
And this target is also very tempting to Qianye, because it only takes one shot to kill it. At a distance of 500 meters, Qianye does not need to activate any special abilities and can blast through it with only the power of thunder itself. Heavy armor, kill with one shot.
But, is this really a normal team?
Qianye did not pull the trigger until the last servant spider walked out of sight. He's waiting for a more worthy target, Aiden.
Qianye did not wait for Aiden’s people, but for one of his bullets. The moment Qianye sensed danger, he immediately jumped into the air, jumped more than ten meters, and left the place. The giant tree he used as a cover exploded with a bang, and a black force bomb penetrated the giant tree and continued to shoot after Qianye.
This force bomb obviously has many abilities, and its power is far greater than before. It directly blasted through the giant tree and continued to pursue the target.
Just when Qianye threw himself into the air, his body suddenly sank and he left the original trajectory again, avoiding the life-seeking bullet. As soon as his feet landed, Qianye randomly chose a direction and quickly moved away without searching for Aiden in the opposite direction.
After fighting for so long, both sides know each other very well. Even if Qianye rushes over now, he will definitely not find anything, and he might be ambushed a second time.
While running, Qianye felt some pain in his arm. When he lowered his head, he saw that there was a fragment of a giant tree embedded in the arm armor, which happened to be stuck in the already damaged area, cutting a shallow **** in the skin.
"You have a small victory." Qianye pulled out the fragments. This small injury is almost the same as a mosquito bite. There is no need to deal with it at all. It will heal on its own as you run.
When Qianye disappeared into the misty forest, not far away, between the empty trunks of the giant tree, his vision was distorted, and Aiden's figure appeared. He did not pursue immediately, but sat down on the spot, took out a black crystal bottle, and took a sip, and his pale, paper-like face turned a little rosy.
This bottle is a special grade magic energy restoration agent. The energy contained in the whole bottle can restore Aiden's magic energy to its peak state within a few minutes. On the battlefield, it can be called a life-saving weapon. Of course, the price of such things has always been equal to the effectiveness.
Aiden did not expect to encounter such a tough opponent when he came out this time. All the recovery agents were almost used up. There was no supply of this special drug in the ordinary army. He had to return to his family or apply to the Eternal Night Council.
But there was nothing he could do to save it. Qianye's recovery speed was astonishing. If he hadn't experienced it himself, Aiden would never have believed that a human race could recover so quickly. If he doesn't recover his demonic energy, the situation will become extremely dangerous. The roles between hunter and prey can be switched at any time.
Since the first shot, the sleepless pursuit and fighting has lasted for more than ten days and nights. Aiden's demonic energy can still be restored with secret techniques and potions, but the physical and mental fatigue cannot be eliminated. He just wants to hold him Gun finds a place to sleep for a few days.
Putting the crystal bottle back in his pocket, Aiden turned his head and looked into the depths of the forest. He had a vague feeling that Qianye had circled back and was approaching from that direction.
The feeling of danger became more and more intense, and Aiden finally couldn't help but said: "Why the **** aren't you tired?"
He was answered with a thunderous gunshot.
Aiden rolled over and fell from the tree trunk, intending to roll behind a giant tree on the southeast side. However, his luck was obviously not good this time. He only felt a burning pain on his thigh, and then there was a horrible feeling of burning flesh and blood from the wound.
Mithril! Aiden immediately used his clan's secret method to seal the wound and quickly hid and ran away. This time, he was chased by Qianye for a full half hour, and he escaped in a very embarrassed manner. He finally caught the opportunity of an outbreak of strange beasts in the crown of a giant tree and escaped from pursuit.
Aiden, who had escaped the pursuit, fell down on the substrate, not even wanting to move his fingers. His hair was messy and his clothes were ragged. How could he still have the demeanor of a famous demon descendant?
Aiden turned over and looked at the strange branches crisscrossing above his head, above which was the fog that would never dissipate. Even though his field of vision was twice that of a strong person at the same level, he could not see through the fog and see the floating sky, let alone the stars at the top of the world that guided the direction.
He took a deep breath, put his hand into his pocket, and stroked the simple lines on a piece of crystal. Aiden could picture that profile without using his eyes, cold, perfect, and proud. If someone sees the pattern on the crystal surface with his own eyes, he will find that those few strokes vividly outline the portrait of a girl, that is Night Eye.
No, you can't fall here, you will die! Also, there is still a lot that needs to be done. Aiden gritted his teeth and sat up, looked at the black wounds on his legs, then stood up and staggered away. Black smoke emerged around him and disappeared together with his back.
A moment later, Qianye stepped out of the fog, his eyes glowing with blue waves, and a faint black air appeared in his field of vision, indicating the direction in which Aiden was leaving.
"Can you still run?" Qianye was very surprised. Just as Aiden understands Qianye, Qianye also understands Aiden. This chase has severely damaged Aiden. According to Qianye's estimation, Aiden would collapse from exhaustion by reaching this point at most. How could he still have enough strength?
Qianye hesitated for a moment and did not immediately pursue him. He sat down and rested for a while to regain some strength. Like Aiden, although Qianye is not worried about the endurance of the Force, long-term and high-intensity hunting and counter-hunting are also overdrawing his physical strength, and there is no shortcut to restore physical strength.
Qianye spared no expense in that shot, overcoming the sensory interference of the misty forest, activated the completely real vision, and when charging the thunder, he superimposed all the special abilities that could be added to it, just to prepare. All his efforts were completed in one battle, and Aiden was completely killed. However, Qianye didn't expect that his calculations were still biased.
The black air in the forest is quickly fading and disappearing. Aiden's remaining demonic energy was quickly swallowed up by the misty forest. Qianye chased for a while, but could no longer see any traces of demonic energy, so he had no choice but to stop.
Seeing victory in sight in this round, but Aiden still escaped, Qianye naturally felt extremely regretful. There are not many targets as valuable as Aiden. He obviously comes from a famous demon family, and his rank is between Earl of Strength and Earl of Garter. Such characters are usually in the army. They are followed by a large number of guards when they come in and out, and they rarely fall behind. one.
If he misses this opportunity, Qianye may not encounter such prey for a long time. Looking at the unchanging fog between the giant trees in front of him, Qianye shook his head and prepared to return to the base.
After this serious injury, Aiden will no longer be interested in fighting him to the death, and will definitely withdraw from this battlefield.
The misty forest looks exactly the same everywhere, but during the days of fighting with Aiden, both sides took advantage of the environment to the extreme. Now in Qianye's eyes, even the smallest difference can be used as the most conspicuous reference.
Qianye's return journey was extremely fast. It only took a little more than a day to cover hundreds of kilometers and appeared outside the Li family base. If you draw the trajectory he walked as a continuous line, you can find that this line is almost straight.
Compared with when he left, the Li family's base has become busier. The camp areas that were not completed last time have now been put into use, but there are more people coming and going in the camp, so there is a large new area. The camp is being opened.
