Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 31
rustling...

It was unusually quiet in the dark sewer.

Two burning torches on the wall bring warmth and light to the space.

The two half-rat, half-human Ratmen flickered their long and narrow mouse eyes, looking at the dark passage ahead from time to time.

"You wait for a while, I'll make it easier for you." One of the ratmen who touched his lower body looked around and whispered to his companion next to him.

"The lazy man has a lot of shit and pee, get out!" The other ratman cursed with a few ragged beards shaking at the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand to signal the other party to get out of here quickly.

After finishing speaking, he complained a little boringly: "Damn jackal man! He really knows how to attack when he chooses the time."

The rat man had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Before he could draw out his weapon, a strong arm covered his mouth.

Immediately, in the red passage illuminated by the torch, a sharp dagger flashed a cold light, and cut his throat instantly.

The scarlet blood spurted far away and kept bubbling out. Thorne grabbed the ratman's neck hard, and he didn't let go until the corpse stopped convulsing.

Thorne is very familiar with killing this kind of thin ratman. He used to use his dark concealment ability to kill nearly 50 members of the dead rat gang quietly one by one.

But today is obviously not enough, because he doesn't have so much time to spend here.

Then Thorne gently dragged the corpse away, leaving only a bloodstain all over the ground.

"Huh! Where's the person?" After a while, another mouse came over humming a little song.

Seeing that no one was there, he looked around first, and obviously felt that something was wrong. The Ratman immediately drew out the dagger at his waist vigilantly, and slowly approached the front of the passage.

The strong smell of blood and the scarlet blood on the ground!
The Ratman's face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to call someone.

A black shadow flashed past, and Thorne appeared behind the Ratman. He first raised the Ratman's chin with his hand, and the upper lip collided with the lower lip, making a clicking sound, and directly suppressed the words he was about to shout. .

Then Thorn's dagger flashed a cold light again.

There were more and more bloodstains on the ground, and the strength of the frantically struggling rat man began to shrink.

Target dies!

Extract the soul energy of the target and gain 100 experience points!
Get 10 practice points through understanding the battle!
……

Thorne gently put the rat man's body on the ground, and the figure disappeared into a hazy shape again.

He had already killed two Ratmen in a row. In this narrow sewer, the smell of blood was easy to spread, and the Ratman's keen sense of smell would soon notice the abnormality.

This sewer space was once the lair of the Dead Rat Gang, who dug many habitable caves in the walls of the sewer.

The favorite thing for these cunning and treacherous guys is to change into human form and haunt various low-down bars and casinos in the lower city.

In addition to stealing money and alcoholic beverages, the most important thing is to track down the drunkards who have passed out on the streets and drag them back to their lairs to serve as rations for the next day.

Thorne didn't quite know where these ratmen migrated from.

He had obviously wiped them all out, but in just over a month, traces of the Ratman reappeared.

Ratmen cling to the sewers of various large cities like parasites, because they know that their strength is weaker than most races that rule the surface.

So in order to survive, they feed on humans in the slums and steal their property.

Human sewers inadvertently protect the skaven from the creatures that dwell on the surface as well as those that live deeper below.

Thorne probably judged from the footprints at the corner just now that there were at least ten ratmen and dire rats.

As for whether there are any other places, Thorn is not sure for the time being, which is why he came here alone to check.

If there are not many players, he will clear them all directly. If there are too many players, he will have to consider whether to give up those players or make a strong charge. Of course, casualties cannot be avoided.

……

puff!

The sharp dagger pierced the rat man's heart from the back of his heart.

A rat man who noticed something was wrong due to the movement outside the cave, just got out of the cave, and was instantly killed by Thorne who was hiding in the dark.

Thorne gently put down the rat man's body, and quietly approached the other caves of the rat man again.

This is already the eighth ratman that Thorne killed,

He took a quick glance just now and found that there were only a dozen ratmen in this sewer space at most, and they were still within his response range.

So Thorn decided to kill them all alone. After all, it was all experience, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

At this time, a bright fire and noisy noises in a cave not far ahead attracted Thorne's attention.

That location used to be the meeting hall of the Dead Rat Gang. From the light of the fire and the faint voice of the Rat Man, Thorne judged that the Rat Man in the hall should gather together to eat.

So Thorne touched it quietly again.

Arriving near the hall, Thorn was not in a hurry to attack, but chose to hide in the dark and look at everything in the hall.

Looking around, the most conspicuous thing was the blazing bonfire in the middle, which made the faces of every Ratmen inside red, and at the same time, the stench attached to their bodies was continuously spread outward along with the smoke of the bonfire.

There were two dead human corpses near the bonfire, and two huge dire rats were gnawing greedily with their mouths open, revealing two sharp front teeth.

Thorne glanced at six ratmen and two dire rats and immediately confirmed the exact number in the hall.

Thorn hid not far away, and gently took out the composite longbow and an arrow behind him.

collapse!
The soft echo of the bowstring did not attract the attention of the skaven, who were indulging in joy.

puff!

The sound of the arrow piercing through the air, driving the air flow suddenly appeared from the darkness, and shot fiercely at a ferocious rat that was eating.

squeak...

The head of the dire rat was pierced in an instant, it screamed, struggled a few times and then died.

Faced with the unexpected intrusion, the Ratmen were only stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, drawing their weapons or turning into giant rats and rushing out.

puff!

There was another sound of an arrow piercing through the flesh, and the last Dire Rat was killed by Thorne again.

Seeing that the rest of the Ratmen had all rushed over, Thorne sneered, put away his composite longbow, and drew out the double swords at his waist to meet them.

——"Scary momentum!"

When the ratmen were about to form a siege to Thorne, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Thorne's body, scaring a group of ratmen into trembling and almost dropped their weapons.

puff!

The unusually sharp Ash longsword was the first to disembowel the two ratmen closest to him.

Then the dagger in Thorn's left hand shook slightly.

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

In the dim night, a mass of crimson flames danced on the dagger, and then exploded suddenly, bursting out with dazzling white light.

Ah!
The rat people who couldn't rub their hands covered their eyes and screamed, and then subconsciously changed into the form of giant rats trying to escape.

Thorne snorted coldly when he saw them wanting to run, and a wooden holy emblem engraved with five-star paw prints suddenly slipped out of the sleeve of his left hand.

A light green light flickered slightly in the darkness.

——"One ring of magic: [Strength] Entanglement!"

Thorne waved his left hand lightly, and the nearby moss plants seemed to feel a mysterious energy, and began to grow wildly, and then turned into vines covered with thorns and entangled all the surrounding mice.

Seeing that the remaining giant rats transformed from ratmen were all entangled by vines, Thorne waved the two weapons in his hand and ended the battle amidst the screams of the giant rats.

"Go and tell your master that the danger is over, let her bring someone over!" Thorne put away his weapon and said calmly to the empty midair.

As soon as the words were finished, a dark red little devil flapping its wings emerged. It looked at Thorn in surprise, and disappeared into the darkness again.

The other side of the sewer.

Anderina, who was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she said to everyone, "Let's go, the danger ahead has been resolved."

After speaking, he walked in first, followed by the troll Trundle immediately.
