I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 94: A New Clone Shell
Rogel hid very discreetly.
[Hah?]
This squad of Blade of the Dead Abandoned, after searching for a while, gave up on looking here.
Rogel breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he witnessed a shocking scene.
He saw this squad of Dead Abandoned surprisingly set up camp right then and there, sitting down seemingly planning to stay put.
This startled Rogel and made him think.
It seems that even these monsters within the cave aren’t entirely without intelligence.
The Dead Abandoned encountered before looked quite foolish, able to be run down by Rogel because they were essentially "abandoned" rejects.
But these elite Blade of the Dead Abandoned were not like that.
They were very clever, their behavior logic and combat style were no different than ordinary people.
Under the guidance of the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry, they were an undoubted ancient army.
Rogel realized that he must abandon the previous mindset of playing a game and fighting monsters.
Or else he’ll definitely suffer a big loss.
Rogel started scouting carefully.
These Dead Abandoned indeed possessed considerable intelligence.
The new outpost they established wasn’t far, and there were sentries patrolling back and forth between outposts to ensure every outpost’s situation was known in time.
This way, if an outpost encounters a problem, the sentries can inform the other outposts.
If a sentry encounters a problem, Rogel might be facing another massive search.
A very meticulous setup.
"A bit difficult to deal with."
Rogel stroked his chin.
If his main body had the Dark Concealment Skill of the Dark Sea Hunter, it would be great.
"But there’s no need for me to fight these soldiers to the death."
"I’ll find a chance to clear them out later."
Rogel took out the Cave Key from his item inventory, and directly teleported to the Road of Abandoned Bones.
Even though the Land Cave did not have the Secret Statue of the Underwater Cave, the teleportation function wasn’t reduced, as long as it’s a named location, it can be teleported to.
However, when Rogel teleported over, an awkward thing happened.
As the pixel character appeared, he found himself right in the middle of a group of Dead Abandoned Cavalry.
Due to his sudden appearance, two cavalrymen were jostled aside, nearly falling down.
Clip-clop.
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry tightened the reins, turning its head.
Its soul flame eyes burned in the sockets, staring fixedly at Rogel, once again locking eyes.
The surrounding Dead Abandoned Cavalry also stared at Rogel intently.
Obviously, just as they were about to leave, Rogel suddenly appeared in their midst...
Instantly, the air went silent.
[...?]
A second later.
"You bastard!"
Rogel cursed in surprise, and reflexively used Fog Flash.
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, several Dead Abandoned Long Blades slashed down fiercely, the sounds of metal clashing resounding.
Rogel appeared directly behind the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry, and immediately jabbed a spear at its head.
Clang—
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry reacted quickly, raising its Sharp Bone Spear to block the strike.
Then it pulled the reins.
The skeletal warhorse reared up, letting out a shrill cry, throwing Rogel off its back.
Thankfully, Rogel was agile, using the horse’s backside to vault up, leaping out of the Dead Abandoned Cavalry group, and landing on the ground.
Run!
Landing, Rogel took off running.
[Ho!]
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry raised its Sharp Bone Spear, pointing straight at Rogel’s back.
Receiving the order, the cavalry unit charged towards Rogel, the sound of horse neighs and iron hooves reverberating.
Rogel cursed as he ran.
"Damn you, Key, how could you deliver me right to their face?"
But with the situation as it is, Rogel had no choice but to run for his life.
But clearly, his speed was no advantage against the cavalry.
The cavalry unit quickly closed in on Rogel.
Their Long Blades raised, slashing down with great momentum.
Rogel with a thought, under the influence of Skeleton Manipulation, caused the Dead Abandoned Cavalry’s direction to skew, chopping in another direction.
Subsequent attacks were unending.
Fortunately, Rogel managed to dodge them all using Fog Flash and Skeleton Manipulation.
What was suffocating was.
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry’s horse could clearly run faster, but it remained stable, never outpacing the other cavalry too much, maintaining formation as they charged.
This made it hard for Rogel to find opportunities to break them one by one.
Monsters with high intelligence are scarier than strong monsters.
In such situations, Rogel couldn’t find a chance to use the Skeleton Secret Technique.
Swish!
Dodging another blow, Rogel furrowed his brow.
The sheer number of Dead Abandoned Cavalry offered no chance for a counterattack.
He couldn’t even find time to use any items.
As Rogel thought, the action of the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry paused, holding the Sharp Bone Spear horizontally in front of it, and let out a low, resounding roar.
With the echoing roar, it seemed to gain some kind of power.
Its Sharp Bone Spear and the skeletal horse beneath it became enveloped in a layer of thick black mist.
Then it gazed into Rogel’s eyes.
In the instant Rogel’s character locked eyes with it, shadowy hands appeared beneath his feet, gripping his legs tightly.
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry hefted the Sharp Bone Spear, charging at Rogel like a heavy tank.
The nearby Dead Abandoned Cavalry closed ranks, apparently aware of the terrifying power of the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry’s strike, unwilling to be caught in friendly fire.
[The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry is attempting to seal your power.]
[But the effect is weak, your Spiritual Power is far superior.]
The game displayed a prompt.
Rogel suddenly realized that for a brief moment, he couldn’t use Fog Flash.
But fortunately, this state lasted less than a second.
Right before the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry charged in, Rogel turned into black mist, evading injury.
Also, the distance of the other Dead Abandoned Cavalry at this moment provided no chance to attack Rogel.
"Opportunity!"
The earlier hint had shown that the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry’s Spiritual Power was lower than his own.
An idea flashed in Rogel’s mind, and he swiftly executed a bold plan.
He quickly took out the Horn of Dead Abandoned.
[Wuuu—]
After consuming one-fifth of his Life Value.
A deep horn sound arose, blue-purple sonic energy waves spread out in all directions.
[Ho...]
A group of Dead Abandoned Cavalry, hearing the sound of the horn, immediately clutched their heads in agony, the skeletal warhorses beneath them also showing distress.
Thunk!
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry was no exception, falling from the skeletal horse, kneeling down in pain, clutching its head.
Rogel quickly severed the link with the Eight-legged Warrior, temporarily discarding this clone, and then moved to the front of the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry.
While still under the influence of the Horn of Dead Abandoned, Rogel directly used his unique Talent.
Hei’s Soul!
Energy symbolizing the Sub-Soul slowly penetrated into the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry’s forehead.
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry, far inferior in Spiritual Power to Rogel, could not resist this violent intrusion.
Its original soul was completely annihilated and replaced by Rogel.
[You’ve used the Talent of Hei’s Soul to control the shell of the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry.]
[You’ve acquired a new shell!]
