Chapter 20 The Coming Crisis
Under the moonlight, in the mountains and forests.
Roja stood on a high hillside, with blue soul fire shining in his eyes, looking at a dozen tents lit in the distance.
A pair of white wings is painted on the tent, which is the symbol of the Eagle Group.
Outside the tent, several heavily armed mercenaries could be seen on guard and patrolling.
Are these mercenaries actually stationed directly in the Undead Mountains at night?
Moreover, are there too many people entering the mountain?
Roja's heart trembled, and he instinctively felt that the actions of the Eagle Group were not simple.
No matter sooner or later, these mercenaries' hunting will never stop here.
At this time, the illusory text appeared in front of him again:
[The initial development of the Skeleton Knight discovered the traces of the Eagle Group. These terrifying mercenaries came with bad intentions and seriously threatened his survival. ]
[Mission: Crisis management! 】
【Option 1: Even if you are far away, you will be killed! Create and lead an army of wights to attack the Eagle Legion's vanguard stronghold and survive! Difficulty: SSS, Reward: Obtain the achievement "The Reincarnation of the Overlord"]
[Option 2: The enemy advances and we retreat! Observe the movements of the Eagle Group once a day and move in time before they approach! Difficulty: D, reward: experience +10/day, strength +0.1/day]
[Option 3: Escape! Evacuate your current position immediately and hide deep in the Undead Mountains! Difficulty: E, Reward: Experience +10, Strength +0.1]
Okay, option one is the obvious warning option again.
Luo Ya felt that he had lost his mind one day and chose this SSS-level death difficulty.
The only options left are options two and three. One is to flee deep into the mountains immediately, and the other is to wait and see every day and wait until the mercenaries are approaching before escaping.
He touched his chin and thought.
First of all, although the depths of the mountains are far away from the threat of mercenaries, it does not mean safety.
The deeper the monster, the stronger it becomes.
But what kind of monster is it and what abilities does it have? There is nothing in Yule's memory.
This made Roya feel very uneasy.
In his opinion, the unknown depths of the mountains were more terrifying than the visible mercenaries.
It is definitely not a wise choice to blindly explore in depth without being prepared.
The current location where the Eagle Group is stationed is still a few hours away from where he lives. It can be said that the cave on the mountainside is safe for the time being.
Go out and observe once a day at night, and you will definitely have time to evacuate.
And this option has rewards every day, but the difficulty is only D!
Therefore, Roja quickly made a choice.
[Observation completed today! Experience +10, Strength +0.1]
[Skeleton Soldier lv7→lv8]
[Free Points: 0.3]
When these 10 experience points are added, Roja has been upgraded again!
When he added 0.3 freedom points to his physique, the values on the panel were as follows:
[Skeleton Soldier lv8]
[Agility: 3.7]
[Strength: 3.2]
[Physique: 2.9]
[Experience Value: 0/275]
[Martial Arts: Spearmanship (Senior 22/300)]
[Contract object: Necromancer Philip]
[Danger index: 8 (A low-level monster that has initially developed, extremely responsive, a very hard shell, considerable strength, proficient in marksmanship, and can easily defeat several adults) Goblin, a fatal threat to senior mercenaries)]
[Note: When the level reaches lv10, the second job transfer will be started! 】
Second job transfer?
This time, unlike the first time, there was no direct explanation of the types of monsters after the job change.
Luo Ya wondered in his mind: According to the experience of the previous life, does this mean that he can choose the direction of career change next time?
Is it a skeleton mage? Or a skeleton warrior? Skeleton assassin? Archer?
There is some expectation in his heart that no matter what profession he is, new abilities will be awakened.
The transferred skeleton soldier has awakened his night vision, permanent movement and martial arts training. I don’t know what abilities he will have next time.
Looking at his own panel, Roja nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left.
... At night, the moonlight is bright and the sky is filled with stars.
In the cave.
Lunge thrust!
The skeleton wearing black armor held the gun in both hands and stabbed forward fiercely. At the same time, he used force from his waist to push his feet forward and charged forward.
Buzz!
As soon as the spear was thrust out, the air flow moved and made a concussive sound!
Spearmanship (Senior 184/300)
Luo Ya breathed a sigh of relief, retreated and stood with his gun back.
Five days have passed since the Eagle Group's station was discovered.
Because I had to scout the enemy every day, I wasted some time, so my proficiency in spearmanship was still more than one-third short of the advanced level.
However, the progress is still astonishing. His current level of spearmanship is something that ordinary people cannot achieve in a few decades.
Roja waved one arm and stabbed the hard stone wall quickly. The tip of the spear kept blooming like a wave, and gravel splashed.
Whoops, whoops, whoops...
After more than ten seconds, he put away the gun and stopped, nodding with satisfaction.
A little Peppa Pig was carved on the stone wall with the tip of his spear, which looked very funny.
Roya caressed Page's face and sighed: I don't know when I will move out, so I will leave this mark here as a souvenir.
As soon as he had an idea, he put away the armor and the spear in his hand, rode the moose out of the cave, and prepared to continue to check the movements of the Eagle Group.
A few hours later,
Roja walked alone in the dense jungle and gradually slowed down.
This place is still some distance away from the headquarters of the Eagle Regiment, and it stands to reason that mercenaries will not be dispatched at night.
But just in case, he kept the noise to a minimum, and the moose followed at a distance.
At this time, he was wearing ordinary clothes and walking slowly, like an inconspicuous skeleton monster.
Such a weak monster would not attract special attention even if it was accidentally seen by mercenaries from a distance.
He didn't plan to stay nearby for long. He just wanted to confirm the location of the enemy camp and get experience and attribute rewards.
However, even on missions of difficulty D, accidents can happen.
Roja's body stiffened.
On the hillside not far away, five figures suddenly appeared.
They have the symbol of white wings on their bodies, and they are obviously members of the Eagle Group.
Moreover, the clothing and equipment of the five people are very different:
there are swordsmen wearing leather armor and long swords; there are shield warriors wearing full plate armor and holding shields; there are archers carrying horned bows; and there is a white-robed priest. , a purple-robed female mage.
Obviously, these are not scouts doing reconnaissance work, this is a complete combat team of the Eagle Regiment!
How could these people appear here so far away from the camp so late at night?
Roja was shocked and confused.
What's even worse is that when he saw the mercenary, the mercenary also discovered him.
"There is a skeleton monster." The leather-armored swordsman with a stern face said.
The distance was too far, so he couldn't sense the breath, and he couldn't see through Roja's vivid disguise.
The shield warrior with a resolute face said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it, it's already very late, we should go back to the camp."
The silent archer nodded, and the priest seemed to have no objection.
"Wait."
However, the young and beautiful female mage showed a reserved smile.
She raised Hao Bai's wrist, which had a bracelet composed of blue crystal fragments.
"I've taken a fancy to the little skull wearing a hat, and I want to use it to decorate my bracelet." "
I'll get it for you." The priest in white robes said immediately.
He looked at the female mage with burning admiration in his eyes,
"With the shining soul fragment in its brain as an embellishment, the brilliance of Miss Haier's string of undead tears will definitely become more beautiful and become a true A work of art."
