Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 269 Exquisite Thousand Paper Cranes
In the dim underground ruins, a group of people walked silently among a cluster of fluorescent bacteria glowing with blue cold light.

Since the surrounding fluorescent flora shimmered, bringing a little light to the dark ruins, the vision of their group was hardly affected in any way.

In this walking fluorescent fungus, you can clearly see many small insects such as lizards, grasshoppers, spiders and cockroaches that feed on fungi, as well as those huge black-haired dread rats. With a fist-sized cockroach in its mouth, it disappeared into the darkness with a squeaky scream after being frightened.

Although there may be monsters from the underground world in the fungal forest they are about to go to, but compared to the third-order rat man wanderers that appear in the rat man's sphere of influence, Thorne thinks that instead of going with the cunning and ambush It is better to deal with these low-intelligence underground monsters who almost rely on wild instinct to attack when dealing with ratmen.

A third-tier Ratman rogue used the ability to travel through shadows to walk freely in front of their group.

If it wasn't for the Ratman rogue who caught his attention first, he would have noticed the loophole in the attack and killed him instead.

Then Andrina and Malvisa, who were casters, might not be able to resist the Ratman's sneak attack, thus losing their lives.So he didn't want to take everyone to face this deadly threat.

After all, none of their group mastered the fourth-ring spell "Dimensional Anchor", a restrictive means that can block actions in different dimensions.This caused them to feel powerless when facing this kind of wanderer with the ability to shuttle through the shadows.

The only good thing is that he has the shadow ability of the Shadow Hand faction, otherwise Anderina, who has the worst combat experience, would be killed first.

"Thorn, look there are many fungi glowing with green light, they are very beautiful." The female sorceress Andrina, who was closely following Thorne, noticed the fungus flora on the left with her curious eyes, and shook her head. He touched Thorn's arm and said with a smile.

Thorne followed Andrina's gaze, and he saw a flat boulder covered with cotton-thick fungus and the faint green light emitting from it. After thinking for a while, he reminded her directly: "This fungus The species is highly toxic, so it’s best not to touch it next time you see it.”

"I see. No wonder I think the light it emits is brighter than the light blue shimmer of other fungi around it." Andrina retracted her gaze, looked at Thorn and said to herself with a smile.

"Little girl, you have to remember that in this magical world, there are actually many rules that are the same as the world we live in. For example: no matter what kind of animal or plant it is, the more attractive its appearance, the more attractive it is. How dangerous it is, especially in this world."

The goblin wizard Malvisa heard Andrina's self-talk, and solemnly warned her, and finally added with a smile: "Of course, this also includes women."

"Ms. Malvisa is right." The dragon-born paladin quickened his pace a little, and after getting close to Malvisara, he continued: "Especially the succubus of the bottomless abyss, the desire of Baator's hell. Demons also have lake spirits in lakes and tree spirits in forests, these creatures all rely on their charm ability to hunt and kill enemies, and they are the most hateful existences."

"Mr. Peo, I would like to remind you that the dryads are a group of peace-loving spirit creatures. They just like to play tricks on people they think they are interested in. In fact, they have no intention of harming anyone." Originally Master Qingchen with a calm expression frowned when he heard Pao's rough voice, and explained to him seriously.

He is a Druid who believes in the God of Nature, and in the teachings of the God of Nature, it is specifically stated to protect and help the dryad, so he must properly remind this paladin with a slightly distorted aesthetic.

"Really?" The paladin Pao paused, wondering, "But why in the temple of Tyre, I saw a note left by a senior paladin specifically noted that the dryad should be careful, I thought She is the most dangerous."

"Don't worry, little lizard, she will definitely not endanger your safety, and I can tell you very clearly that you may never have the chance to meet a beautiful dryad in your life." Malvisa glanced at the paladin , the word 'beautiful' is deliberately emphasized a bit.

"Uh...why do you think so confidently?" The paladin Peo scratched his lizard head, furrowed his rough horny brows, and looked at the goblin wizard.

"Because the dryad only likes handsome human or elf men, for example..." Seeing the paladin Peo's suddenly a little honest expression, the goblin wizard finished speaking with a smile, and pointed his little finger at Thorne who was leading the way. .

"..." Feeling the pity and sympathy of the orc swordsman Kutaig beside him, the paladin Peo, who understood the reason, gave Malvisa a depressed look, and obediently kept his mouth shut.

He felt that he had a chance, so he must learn from Master Qingchen how to keep silent.

"No wonder that's the case!" The goblin wizard had just finished speaking, and the calm Master Qingchen seemed to think of something, and suddenly showed a dazed look.

Then he involuntarily quickened his pace, looking at Thorne's back: "Brother Thorne, have you seen a dryad before?"

When Master Qingchen, who likes to keep silent, suddenly asked this question, Thorne was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Master Qingchen, and denied it with a smile: "How could I have seen that kind of fine creature?"

"That's strange, I clearly sensed the unique natural breath from the dryad on your holy emblem." Master Qingchen looked at Thorn's back suspiciously, and said to himself: "Could it be that I misread it? "

"Thorn, is the dryad beautiful?" Noticing Thorne's strange expression and hearing Master Qingchen's doubtful murmur, Anderina's pale golden eyes flickered, and she asked softly.

"When...of course I'm not as beautiful as you." Thorne, who reacted quickly, smiled, glanced at Master Qingchen who was still muttering, rubbed Anderina's hair and said, "What are you thinking about?" , do you think those dryads from the Appearance Association will take a fancy to my appearance?"

"... That's true." Anderina, who was skeptical, took Thorne's arm and nodded with a smile.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Thorne seemed to have sensed something. With a soft drink, he stopped everyone's footsteps, and then said solemnly: "There are underground monsters appearing ahead, everyone prepare to fight!"

As soon as Thorn finished speaking, three burly figures walked out of a shimmering fluorescent fungus.

Tauren, Ogres, and Marsh Ursa!

How did these three wonderful races get together? Thorne was shocked when he saw the appearance of the person.

"Be careful, these three underground monsters are probably very powerful." The goblin wizard Malvisa's expression fluctuated, and she gently stroked the whimpering wolf, reminding everyone.

"Leave the strongest tauren to me to deal with!" The paladin Peo immediately locked on his opponent.

As soon as the words fell, he summoned a dragon blood lizard with the surge of teleportation light, and then he rode directly on it, ready to charge the tauren.

"Let me deal with the Zeddi bears." The calm Master Qingchen smiled helplessly, and instantly transformed into a ferocious bear. Dao Dao magical light surged, and ice-cold spots appeared on the ferocious bear's claws and sharp teeth. cold light.

"Stay back." Thorne commanded Anderina solemnly, and then let the Volatile Dragon Beast guard her side through telepathy.

Then he turned and looked at the orc sword master: "Kutaige, don't move out. Your task is to protect the safety of the two of them and guard against the hidden enemies."

"Understood!" The orc sword master clenched the long sword in his hand, nodded solemnly, and immediately looked around vigilantly to prevent unknown enemies from appearing suddenly.

At the same time, when the three burly figures spotted the crowd, the ogre in full-body armor with an iron spiked mace showed a ferocious smile and couldn't help roaring excitedly:
"Oh, it's great! Two humans, and one of the most delicious half-elf, my God, how come there is such delicious food here."

"An orc, and a lizardman?" The tauren walking in the middle frowned and looked at the two, muttering: "The orc smells too strong, it smells more disgusting than the ratman's loincloths, I've eaten that big lizard head before, and it was fishy, ​​ugly, and even more disgusting."

"There's so much nonsense, kill them, let the captain wash him clean, and let him stew in another pot!" The grumpy marsh bear on the other side was the first to roar, and then rushed towards the crowd on all fours. come over.

Looking at the Zedi bear who was galloping forward, Master Qingchen used the druid's transformation ability to change the ferocious bear. After blessing the magic, he greeted him without fear.

Immediately, a bear creature from the surface and a bear from the ground directly fought each other.

However, due to Master Qingchen's transformation, the ferocious bear has a body length of more than 3 meters, and its fangs and sharp teeth are all blessed by magic, shining with a sharp cold light.

So when the two sides first came into contact, this master Qingchen, who likes to keep his expression indifferent, seemed to vent all his suppressed emotions after transforming into a violent bear. Leaving behind a series of ferocious scratches and bites of blood.

During the frantic fight, Master Qingchen completely exposed the most ferocious side of the bear creature, making it hard to imagine that it was transformed from a druid.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"A hairy tauren! Your opponent is here, rush over if you have one!" On the other side, the paladin Peo, who was riding on the back of the dragon blood lizard, struck bright sparks out of the shield with his long sword. He distanced himself from the crowd, and shouted at the tauren who was wearing iron spike gloves on both hands.

The tauren, about 2.5 meters tall, is like a man with tangled muscles and put on the head of a raging bull.

"Roar! The big lizard is courting death!"

When he heard the provocation from paladin Peo, he shook his pure black hair that stinks of death, his black eyes gleamed with violent anger, roared angrily, and rushed over, waving his iron spiked gloves.

Tauren were born in a demonic ritual on the material plane. They are a group of bloodthirsty, evil humanoid creatures. When they are ignited, their burly bodies, which are naturally suitable for charging, will rush like a battering ram, endlessly.

——"One-ring divine art: the collision of the rhinoceros!"

Facing the ferocious charge of the tauren, Pao, as a paladin, showed no fear. The dragon blood lizard under his seat neighed under the blessing of divine magic, and directly exploded with more than twice the speed and strength. At an elusive speed, he greeted the charging tauren.

"boom!"

Two burly bodies of flesh and blood collided fiercely.

The heavily armored paladin Peo was thrown away by the force of the shock, and the dragonblood lizard under the seat was also screaming, retreating again and again, and the scale-covered head was left with two sunken scars by the tauren.

The tauren, who also endured twice the strength of the dragon blood lizard, was also uncomfortable. His muscular and tangled body fell heavily in a parabola in the fluorescent fungus bushes, and he didn't get up for a long time.

——"Three-ring spell: Fireball!"

Just as the tauren was about to get up, the spell in Anderina's hand had already taken shape, and a howling fireball submerged the tauren in the flames of the explosion.

The paladin Peo also took this opportunity to ride the dragon blood lizard again, and launched a new charge towards the submerged tauren.

"The taste of the half-elf is my favorite!" When the tauren and the marsh bear attacked, the ogre in heavy armor also rushed towards Thorne excitedly, waving a mace with iron spikes.

When the crazy and bloodthirsty eyes looked at the half-elf ranger, it was as if they had already seen a delicious meal in front of them.

——"One-ring spell: greasy spell!"

However, just as he was about to get close to this thin half-elf, he suddenly felt a slippage on the soles of his feet, which caused the charging body to fail to maintain balance and fell directly to the ground.

When he realized something was wrong and was about to get up immediately, a dark red fireball dancing in the darkness grew bigger and bigger in his pupils.

"Boom!"

The fireball the size of a washbasin burst suddenly, and the turbulent heat wave and explosive flames were ignited by the goblin wizard's "grease technique", shrouding the ogre in a sea of ​​flames.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

Seeing the ogre lying in the pit struggling to get up, Thorn's expression turned cold, and a fireball the size of a washbasin condensed again.

Accompanied by the roar of the explosion, the bloody ogre was directly buried in the mud mixed with blood, motionless.

——"Deflection field!"

In the bombardment of the two fireballs, with the help of Malvisa, Thorne ended the battle with the ogre first.Just as he was about to support the battle on the other two sides, he immediately noticed the sound of the bow and crossbow being pulled, and immediately activated the protective aura on the ring.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The three howling crossbow bolts were blocked by the protective barrier, deflected to the other side and fell powerlessly to the ground. At the same time, Thorne immediately identified the enemy who cast the arrow in the back.

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Walk!"

Not far away in the darkness formed by the "darkness technique", a male drow holding a crossbow saw that he missed the attack and was about to change the target again and shoot again. Wrapped and disappeared.

The drow immediately realized that something was wrong, dropped the crossbow in an instant, and pulled out the two scimitars from his waist that were shining coldly under the fluorescent light.

"Clang! Clang!"

The collision of sharp blades wiped out dazzling sparks in the darkness, and the half-elf and drow figures fought together.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Flame Star!"

Thorn leaned over to avoid the scimitar of the drow elf, and swung his sword to block the pincer attack of another scimitar. Then he took the opportunity to draw out another dagger from his waist, and suddenly burst into dazzling white light. The space where the two fought was as bright as day.

The drow elves living in the underground world are very sensitive to light, and the flashes cast by Thorne even hit the scarlet eyes of the drow elves precisely.

"what!!!"

The drow who was caught off guard felt the pain in his eyes, couldn't help but roared, and the attacking movement in his hand began to slow down involuntarily.

Looking at the howling drow elves, Thorne sneered, clenched his sharp blade, and prepared to deal a fatal blow.

Ok?
Suddenly noticing a large piece of slippery greasy surface on the ground, his expression changed suddenly, and he immediately understood that there were spellcasters hidden around him.

——"Whirlwind attack!"

The moment Thorne stabilized his body away from the range of the "Greasing Technique", the recovered drow took advantage of the situation and swung the two scimitars in his hand, creating an airtight wall of blades.

——"Second Ring Spell: Ma Youfu's Acid Arrow!"

——"Second Ring Spell: Scorching Ray!"

Thorne resisted the airtight attack of the drow elves while dodging the spell cast by the spellcaster hiding in the dark.

The only thing that made him lucky was that the figures of him and the drow elves alternated and changed, causing the other party to be afraid of accidental injury and not dare to cast powerful spells.

It turned out to be a drow swordsmanship master!
Thorn resisted the other party's attack, and even felt the blades gliding across his neck frequently trying to decapitate him, so that he felt a slight chill.

However, the drow continued to use the "whirlwind attack" continuously, and the final result was that his physical strength was greatly consumed.

Sensing the opponent's increasingly slow attacking movements, Thorne glanced vigilantly at the caster whose location could not be determined in the distance, his expression froze, and the dagger in his left hand burst into dazzling white light again.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the scream of the drow in the flashing light, a head with long withered white hair flew down among the fluorescent fungus bushes, and the dark red blood and the blue fungus interweaved a strange beauty.

——"One-ring spell: Arcane Missile!"

The moment the drow elves died, five consecutive magical missiles galloped towards Thorne in the darkness.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Thorn, who reacted in an instant, danced two sharp blades, one long and one short, so airtight. All five magic missiles hit the blades and dissipated into the air.

——"Second Ring Spell: Human Immobilization Technique!"

When all five magic missiles dissipated, a female drow in a black robe and long withered white hair appeared in Thorne's sight, pointing at Thorne with a staff engraved with spider patterns in her hand.

——"Steel Soul Pie (Coping Skill): Perfect Spirit!"

Sensing an inexplicable magical power attacking his whole body, Thorn's eyes froze, and he directly activated the counter skills of the Steel Soul faction to resist.

Seeing that the will save was successful, Thorne swung his long sword, and at the same time took out the holy emblem hidden in his sleeve, and greeted the drow wizard not far away.

—— "Four Rings Spell: Stone Skin Technique!"

Looking at the half-elf who had no effect on her spells, the drow witch calmly put on the most powerful shield for herself.

"Stone Skin Technique" is a defensive spell of the fourth ring. After using it, the whole body will become harder than a stone, and the attack strength it can withstand can reach more than 150 points, so she is very confident that the half-elf who is charging can't break it instantly Her strongest defense.

And in the gap between the opponent's attack on her, she can chant the deadliest spell with peace of mind.

——"Second Ring Magic: Silence!"

Just as the drow wizard was about to chant a powerful attack spell, she suddenly realized that she was surrounded by an invisible force field, making her unable to utter any words.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

Immediately afterwards, the drow wizard saw a fireball the size of a washbasin roaring towards her, and was then submerged in the flames of the explosion.

Looking at the dead drow, Thorne turned around and left. Although the opponent possessed a powerful physical defense spell like "Stone Skin", he couldn't defend against magic attacks.

And because of the "Stone Skin Art" covered by the quilt, while the whole body becomes as hard as marble, its own movement speed will also slow down.

This is also the reason why when he originally planned to attack, he immediately switched to magic attack after realizing that the opponent had applied the "Stone Skin Technique" to him.

after awhile……

Andrina, who had finished the battle on the other side, found Thorne sitting on the ground in a daze not far away, so she walked over curiously, and asked with concern, "Thon, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Thorne looked at the exquisite paper thousand paper cranes in his hand, and said with a smile to Anderina: "This was found on Drow's body, it seems that the two of them should be the same as us, and they are also player.

In the sudden attack just now, the two sides didn't have time to talk to each other, and they don't know what camp these two people are in, but this thousand paper cranes is quite exquisite, and I gave it to you. "

"They must all belong to the evil camp, tauren, ogres, and swamp bears, can't you tell?" Andrina took the thousand paper cranes from Thorne, sat beside him and said with a smile .
