Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 210 Tentative attack

The Forest of Tranquility.

Near noon, the thin mist had already dissipated in the sparse jungle, replaced by bright sunlight penetrating through the swaying branches, casting swaying and ferocious tree shadows.

Thorn cat stooped and walked along the bushes on both sides of the road. When he saw a luka set in the middle of the road by the hobgoblin from a distance through the woods, he stopped walking and immediately disappeared. into the bushes.

Just like the results of the owl's reconnaissance, the hobgoblin of Hruk has already planned to use the entire Silent Forest as his own private domain.

They set up numerous checkpoints on the only road leading to Shuangta Town in front of them. If they found other races trying to approach here, they would mercilessly kill them.

Thorn glanced at the guard towers built on both sides of the road, and found two burly hobgoblins standing on them, and looked at the fence made of logs thicker than an adult's thigh that was blocked in the middle of the road.

When he noticed the heads of various humanoid creatures stuck at the tip of the fence, he immediately understood that this place was not what he saw. There were only two hobgoblins staying here, and there must be a large hobgoblin nearby. camp.

Otherwise, with these two hobgoblin guards alone, it would be impossible to kill strong giant-like creatures such as ogres and trolls, and put their heads on the fence, always warning outsiders who stray into this place .

Then Thorn, who was hiding in the dark, did not rush to act, but stood still thinking about how to attack.

In the vast Forest of Tranquility, there is no other shortcut for horse-drawn carriages except for the trade road opened up with the acquiescence of the Temple of Melikai, so those with pack carts full of goods want to go on the waterfall. To travel between the town and Shuangta Town, one must pass through this place.

However, for Thorn who was acting alone, as a ranger, he could easily cross as long as it was not a cliff or a rushing river.

And the reason why he still persistently plans to walk from here is mainly because he wants to scout the general situation of the hobgoblins entrenched in the forest of tranquility while passing by.

Although they fought against the hobgoblin two days ago, they left the priest and commander of the hobgoblin forever in the outer area of ​​the forest of tranquility, and they also estimated their strength.

But sneaking all the way through the Forest of Tranquility, he deeply realized that it was just a peripheral fringe force of the Hobgoblin tribe of Hruk, and did not completely belong to the core force of the hobgoblin Hruk.

So wanting to understand this problem, he took this opportunity to carefully avoid many hobgoblin peripheral forces, and came to the depths of the Forest of Tranquility, ready to test the strength of the real elite army of Hruk hobgoblins. If the players in the town fight against them, what is the chance of winning?

Of course, there is another main reason, and that is for: experience and practice points!

There is never too much of this stuff for their player base.

After thinking for a while, Thorne lifted off the hood covering his head, took out an ordinary arrow from behind, held a composite longbow, got up and left the bush, and appeared carelessly in front of two hobgoblin guards. not far away.

"Human?" The hobgoblin guard standing on the sentry tower spotted Thorn's hazy figure the moment he appeared. When he fully saw his face, he rubbed his blue hooked nose, dark brown Looking at his companion on the other guard tower with a puzzled look in his eyes, he said doubtfully.

"No, he's an elf!" Another hobgoblin took a serious look and noticed the pointed ears of the half-elf ranger. He directly denied his companion's guess and expressed his own thoughts.

Immediately, he took out the heavy crossbow hanging from his waist, and with the sound of 'click', the hobgoblin immediately aimed at the ranger's figure and sneered.

The race hobgoblins hate the most is the elves. This is a kind of hatred hidden in the deepest blood. prosperity, and then continued to expand its territory on the mainland.

As for what happened to the elves that made the hobgoblins hate it so much when they expanded their territory, it has long since disappeared into dusty history. Even the hobgoblins themselves don't know. They only know that when facing the elves, they would rather To destroy the neat military appearance and strict discipline, we must first kill those thin elves jumping around in front of their eyes.

Facing the 'elf' who jumped out suddenly, the hobgoblin guard did not immediately choose to warn, because he was confident that he could deal with it easily.

He thought that the lost 'elven' adventurer would end up like all the humanoid heads on the tip of the fence, and that his head, unlike other ugly humanoids, would be the most beautiful of them all. The trophy, since it is the head of an 'Elf', that is enough.

Thinking of this, the hobgoblin guard subconsciously aimed the heavy crossbow away from the 'Elf''s head, and chose to wear his heart.

"call out!"

A crossbow bolt containing hobgoblin anger tore through the air and galloped towards the half-elf ranger.

From the moment the hobgoblin guard pulled the trigger of the heavy crossbow and the "click" of the spring noose sounded, he was easily captured by Thorne with his keen senses.

He turned his body around slightly, and the crossbow brushed against the hem of his clothes and hit a big tree behind him, making a dull 'buzzing' sound.

Then Thorne took advantage of the moment of turning around, and he took the opportunity to put the arrow in his right hand on the bowstring of the composite longbow.

With a thought of Thorne, the flame power of the Desert Wind Sect began to flow in the body, and a layer of light orange flame suddenly appeared on the arrow on the bowstring, floating slightly, exuding scorching heat in the cold air.

Looking at the flame light on the arrow, Thorne nodded in satisfaction.

This is the special attack effect brought by the "Desert Fire" specialty. This additional fire damage will continue to increase with his swordsmanship level. Now his swordsmanship level is level 5, and at least 5 points of fire damage can be added.

However, this kind of fire damage could only be applied to weapons that had physical contact with him. If it was an arrow, the moment he shot it, the flame covering the arrow would also disappear.

However, since Malvisa, the goblin wizard in Horn Town, gave him a book about the use of Qi energy, under his regular reading and practice, this kind of fire damage that can make the "Desert Fire" specialty is less than [-]%. He has mastered the trick of temporarily staying on the arrow when releasing his hand.

Then Thorne used all his strength to pull this composite longbow called 'Reverse Electricity' into a full moon shape. The two ends of the bow horns were wrapped with mithril-like metal and changed immediately as the bowstring was pulled.

I saw the mysterious runes engraved on the metal jump out of a crackling purple arc, and then converged on the lavender metal wire wrapped around the handle in the middle of the composite longbow at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and then spread to the bridge. On the arrow on the bowstring.

"call out!"

Accompanied by the imperceptible bowstring sound echoing in Thorn's hand, an arrow that jumped out of a deep purple arc and a light orange flame at the same time whistled and let out a long cry, tearing the air, facing the sentry tower and still looking at it. The half-elf ranger in the distance guessed what kind of hobgoblin guard the opponent was.

"Pfft!"

The arrow hit the bewildered hobgoblin guard with precision, and the sharp arrow easily penetrated the hobgoblin's black leather armor with blood-red stripes, sinking deeply into his furry flesh, jumping deep purple arcs and Light orange scorching flames spread around his wound.

Feeling the tearing pain and the numbness and burning pain from the arrow at the same time, the hobgoblin guard wailed with a 'plop' and fell on the fence of the sentry tower. His body twitched a few times, and he joined the big army gloriously. The capable Magrubier is in the army of the Shura plane.

From the time the hobgoblin guard shot the crossbow to Thorne's arrow hitting another hobgoblin guard, all this happened in an instant. When the hobgoblin guard with the heavy crossbow noticed the tragic death of his companion, he quickly pulled the capstan again. Load the crossbow bolts and attack Thorne who is standing still.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Facing the constant shooting from the heavy crossbow of the hobgoblin guards, Thorn did not take any action, but twisted his body continuously to avoid the galloping crossbow.

This level of frontal shooting is not threatening to Thorne at all. From the moment the crossbow bolt ejects the heavy crossbow, he can easily judge the location of the crossbow bolt and avoid the deadly attack in advance.

In his ranger professional training, avoiding the galloping arrows head-on was also a compulsory course for him.

"Zheng!"

"For the glory of the Mighty One!" When all the arrows had been poured out, seeing the nasty 'elf' who was still uninjured, the hobgoblin guard drew out the refined long sword hanging from his waist, roared angrily, and sent out from the sentry post. He jumped down from the tower and landed firmly on the ground.

Then the hobgoblin guard took a deep breath, crouched slightly, and jumped up without warning.

At this time, Thorne had already put away the composite longbow, and replaced it with the long sword in his hand to slay the demon.

Facing the attack launched by the hobgoblin guards, Thorn didn't even swing his sword to block it, but turned around lightly halfway to avoid the attack.

The long sword of the hobgoblin guard opened and closed, and the piercing sound came again. Thorne quickly turned around with his toes as the center of gravity, leaned over to avoid the blade, jumped to the side nimbly, and swung the sword in a feint. , disrupting the attack rhythm of the hobgoblin guards.

"Cowardly 'Elf', go to hell!"

The hobgoblin guard cursed, and the long sword slashed at Thorne's neck from the right side. Thorne sideways avoided the fatal blow again, and then kicked the hobgoblin guard's leg. The hobgoblin guard lost his balance instantly. While trying to stand firm, he instinctively raised his sword to parry.

Thorn swung his long sword and slashed forward at lightning speed. The long sword struck the blade that was blocked by the hobgoblin guard, emitting dazzling sparks. The force of the impact caused the hobgoblin guard's blade to directly cut On his furry face.

The hobgoblin guard was cut by his own sword, and blood flowed from his face, making the already bright red leather armor more colorful.

Thorne took the opportunity to shake his right hand holding the sword, the sharp blade suddenly changed direction, and accurately plunged into the throat of the hobgoblin guard. The hobgoblin guard screamed, bent his legs, and fell down in the bushes.
