Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 176
"Didn't you say that you have used up all the blood of the red dragon, why are you not interested in the dragon blood that Carlos just mentioned?"

After everyone discussed how to welcome the approaching orcs, Thorn led Anderina away from Carlos's courtyard, walked for a distance, stopped and couldn't help asking with some doubts.

The advanced profession of Dragon Vein Warlock is certainly very strong, but every time the strength is improved, one must rely on the bloodline purification ceremony to transfer the dragon's ability to oneself, so this kind of ceremony, the blood of the real dragon is indispensable.

Giant dragons, whether they are the kindest or the most evil, always remind people of horror images. For most races, giant dragons are the ceiling of combat power, terrifying and deadly.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to obtain the blood of the real dragon, and the dragon vein warlock Andrina in front of him was unmoved after hearing the news about the blood of the red dragon, and refused without hesitation. Dropped, which made him have to wonder the real reason for the other party's rejection.

"For me, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, I don't want to use other methods." Andrina walked up to Thorn and smiled slightly: "I'm just very disgusted, in order to get other things, go to be Someone took advantage of it, and I didn't want to be a part of the chaos downtown, you know."

"However, no matter where the blood of the red dragon is, it can be encountered but not sought after. Even if you have enough money, there is no guarantee that you will be able to buy it. I think you rejected it too simply. After all, it is related to your future. The speed of strength growth."

Regarding Anderina's words, he also understood the general meaning of the other party, but still felt that it was a pity to miss this opportunity.

And Thorne doesn't quite agree with her values.

What is called a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

This sentence is indeed very effective in the original world. As long as you have money, you can almost solve most of the troubles in your life, but in this world where your own life is at risk, the effect is not so significant.

This is a world where the strong are respected. Your own strength determines how much you can have. This is the main reason why he has always been obsessed with becoming stronger.

"It's okay, I can wait slowly. Although my race is human, after I become a dragon vein warlock, I have a lifespan of nearly 500 years. There is always a chance to encounter this kind of thing." Anderina smiled Laughing, said not very concerned.

Then she thought for a while, looked at Thorn quietly and said, "Actually, I am not as persistent as you in becoming stronger. Living like that is too tiring. Besides, I have also found the meaning of surviving in this strange world. So I think it’s pretty good to just let things go.”

After Andelina finished speaking, she saw that Thorne was silent and seemed to be in deep thought, so she continued: "Didn't you say before that you don't like to participate in the affairs of the lower city, why are you so concerned about this time?" The orcs are so enthusiastic."

"The orcs from the Winter City Arena, after all, came here all the way because of my guidance. Since I already know that they are about to arrive at Fallstown, it is natural to ensure their safety." Thorne After a moment of silence, he explained to Anderina beside him.

The orcs that Ashmo found were exactly the group he accidentally rescued in the arena of Winter City. For so long in the past, he had forgotten these orcs long ago. What he didn't expect was that these strong-willed orcs really came from Winter City breaks out, successfully crosses the Emerald Fields, and arrives at Fallstown.

The orcs are representatives of chaos and evil on this continent, mainly because their main god taught them that everything on the main material plane belongs to the orcs, but was stolen by others. Therefore, if the orcs want to survive, they must try their best Do everything possible to plunder the settlements of civilizations.

Especially the orcs living in the northern wilderness, they often have difficulty suppressing their strong desire to kill, so their residences are always not far from their new targets.

It is precisely because of this that they seldom settle in one place for a long time, but camp on every ruin, temporarily live in complex caves, and even transform them into fortified camps or strongholds after capturing the opponent's village.

When the food in the existing territory is exhausted, the orc tribe will separate several active teams and spread out to search for new hunting places.

After the search is complete, each team returns to the stronghold with loot and information about the new target, and chooses the richest one as the new target for the tribe.

After setting the goal, all members of the tribe will set off together to open up a bloody road to the new territory. Such a cruel act naturally makes most intelligent races feel deeply disgusted by it.

The orcs Thorne rescued from the arena are different. They are a group of tribes formed by players. They rely on their own wisdom in the northern wilderness to grow food, domesticate livestock, build camps, and so on.

If there are no accidents, everything will develop in a good direction, which is why Thorne sympathizes with these orc players.

Now, these orc players are about to arrive at Pushang Town. With their arrival, apart from other changes in this town, at least Pushang Town's strength has been strengthened again, which everyone is happy to see.

"Haven't Carlos already said that he welcomes the arrival of the orcs? They can do these things by themselves. You don't need to get involved at all."

"I just want to go and have a look, for peace of mind, that's all." Thorne showed a smile to Anderina, then interrupted what she was about to say, and patted her on the shoulder lightly Said: "Okay, I will send you here, you go back by yourself, they are still waiting for me at the gate of the city."

Anderina looked at the smile on Thorn's face, she was startled, and finally sighed helplessly, her figure gradually disappeared in the light of a teleportation circle.

……

At the edge of the Forest of Tranquility in the Emerald Field, three figures wandered in the wilderness overgrown with weeds and bushes.

"Ashmo, are you sure they will come from this direction?" Thorn looked at the familiar surroundings, frowned and said, "Going forward, you will reach the sphere of influence of Bugle Town."

There are irreconcilable conflicts between the two player forces in Horn Town and Waterfall Town, so he naturally doesn't want to meet those players who are mainly humanoid creatures here.

At the same time, this trip made him realize the inconvenience of not having a flying reconnaissance partner. If the Dire Eagle was here at this time, he would be able to get a general idea of ​​all the situations as long as he soared in the sky.

"It seems that the animal companion must find another one as soon as possible. After finishing the work here, go to the Temple of Melikai first." Thorne glanced at the sky and thought to himself.

"Don't worry, you won't go wrong, I assure you, those orc players will definitely come from this direction." Ashmo, who was walking in the front, turned and said to Thorne with certainty.

"Thorn, have you noticed a very strange phenomenon." As soon as Ashmoe finished speaking, the Cursed Swordsman Yas who walked side by side with Thorn said.

"What phenomenon?" Thorne looked at him suspiciously.

After discovering the traces of the orcs, they originally planned to stand still and wait for their arrival on the city wall, but he was worried that something unexpected would happen on the way, so this scene of the three of them wandering in the wilderness appeared.

"This year's cold wave seems to be late. At this time last year, snowflakes were already falling on the emerald fields, and winter would be sealed off in half a month. But this year, there was no movement at all." Yas glanced at the blue sky and said Thorne expressed his inner doubts.

"Uncle Yas, why are you so stupid?" Ashmo, who was walking in the front, heard Yas' doubts, turned around and raised his voice and replied:
"It's just that the cold wave has been postponed for a few days. What's the fuss? You have to know that no matter where you are, the weather is unpredictable. It can't be the same. There are half a hundred people. Don't you even have such a simple reason? Don't you know?"

"According to historical records, during the disaster that affected the entire main material world in the turbulent era, the emerald field was in a cold wave for a year, and the white snow dominated it. Force ended the catastrophe, so I always think that the changes of nature are inextricably linked with the gods above."

Yas ignored Ashmo's ridicule, and said to Thorne with a slightly dignified look:

"In any case, the postponement of the cold wave is a virtuous cycle for the entire Emerald Field. This change not only shortens the hibernation time for wild beasts, but also allows intelligent races and monsters to have more free time to spend on Store food for the winter.

That is to say, the number of all creatures in the field in the spring of next year will increase significantly, but the Emerald Field is so big, and the extra ones can only be eliminated by other creatures.

This is not good news for us in Pushang Town. Since the trade route leading to Seput City was opened up, our food shortage has not been so severe, so the cold wave has been postponed, and instead, the safety period of Pushang Town has been reduced. shortened. "

"You can't always think about the bad side." Thorn didn't agree with Yas's thoughts, and said to him:
"The weather in the Emerald Field is becoming more and more suitable for the survival of creatures, leading to a sharp increase in their numbers. If these extra beasts and monsters are hunted by us, it is not equal to our extra wealth, so I think this kind of Change is beneficial to everyone. This is a law of survival of the fittest. Only the weak will think this is unfair. When our power becomes stronger, the Emerald Field will be our back garden and hunting ground, isn't it? ?"

"That's true." After listening to Thorne's analysis, Aston suddenly showed a sudden look.

"Ow!"

At this time, a loud wolf howl sounded from far and near from the quiet forest in the distance.

"There is a pack of wolves in the forest, everyone pay attention to concealment!" Thorn heard the movement in the distance, his expression froze, and he immediately greeted the two.

In the wilderness, as long as wargs are found, they must be in groups, with at least fifty of them.

Moreover, according to Ashmo, the orc players walked along the edge of the Forest of Tranquility from south to Pushang Town in the northwest, but the howling of wolves coming from the depths of the forest was from the northeast. It was obviously not an orc player, but a pack of wolves.

"Ow!"

Just after the three of Thorne hid in the bushes, the loud howling of wolves sounded again, but this time it came from the south, which was the direction the orc player was walking.

Immediately afterwards, the undulating wolf howls sounded at the same time, and a large group of warg knights also emerged in the Tranquil Forest, and many burly orcs with wargs appeared on the other side.

"It turned out to be a hobgoblin!" Seeing the wolf knight appearing from the Forest of Tranquility, Thorn's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a deep voice, "Why is there a group of hobgoblins here?"

Hobgoblins are members of the goblinoid family, and they often rule over some of their cousin races, such as the diminutive goblins and the ferocious bear goblins.

They are larger than goblins, and they belong to a burly humanoid race. Their height is almost maintained at about 2 meters. Their most notable features are dark orange skin and brown hair, and blue or red noses of adult males. .

Moreover, the hobgoblins were a militarized race. They were born to fight, they were full of aggression, and they liked to wage war against humanoid races. The town of Falls was almost destroyed by hobgoblins half a year ago.

The hobgoblins who appeared not far from Thorn were all riding calf-sized wargs. They were all wearing black leather armor with blood-red stripes, and the weapons they held were mainly long swords and machetes.

These weapons are not as rough as imagined, on the contrary, they are well maintained, and they are still shining with a cold light under the sunlight.

In addition to being able to use various weapons flexibly, hobgoblins are also very good at manufacturing military equipment such as weapons, armor, and engineering equipment. They are organized and disciplined, and they will carefully maintain their weapons, armor, and personal items.

So Thorne was not surprised to see such a neatly equipped hobgoblin knight.

"Ow! Oooo! Oooo!"

The moment dozens of hobgoblin knights appeared, the orc players driving the wargs on the other side also appeared in the field of vision at the same time. The moment the two sides made eye contact, the wargs on both sides roared at the same time.

"There are orcs in the Emerald Field." Among the hobgoblin knights, a hobgoblin who resembled the captain glanced at the orc who appeared, a hint of surprise flashed in his dark brown eyes, and then calmed down the irritable wolf, pointing his finger Put it in your mouth and blow out a loud whistle.

In just a moment, a black crow flapped its wings and flew out of the forest and landed on the shoulder of the hobgoblin captain. With the hobgoblin captain whispering, the black crow flapped its wings again and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

Noticing the message from the hobgoblin captain, Thorne and Yas looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then the two jumped out of the bushes where they were hiding.

"Zheng!"

In order to find out the origins of these hobgoblins, Thorn drew out his long sword, looked directly at the hobgoblin captain not far away, and said coldly: "Hombgoblin, this is the sphere of influence of Fallstown, get out of the Forest of Tranquility! "

"Falling Town?" The hobgoblin captain was taken aback when he saw Thorn and the two jumping out suddenly, and then he said in a voice that did not show weakness: "Very well, the humans in Fallshang Town listen to me, Heru The battle flag of the Great Goblin has been planted on the land of the Silent Forest, and your challenge is always welcome!"

　Thanks to the boss: the reward of the witty llama, thank you for your support! ! !
