Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 338 Constructing Warriors
"Why are you two here?"

Thorn reached out and patted Fulong Beast's head gently, and turned his questioning gaze to the two girls in front of him.

Noticing that the animal companion was lying on its knees, Thorne struggled to get off its back.

The sole of his right leg was pierced by a sharp icicle, and there was an ice thorn as thick as a baby's arm stuck on his thigh. Considering his current physical condition, he had almost lost most of his fighting power.

That's why he chose to run away. Although the "Fearless Act" mission of the Steel Soul Sect had not yet been completed, he couldn't care less about it. The most important thing right now was to save his life.

With his own strength and the mobility of the crouching dragon, it is not a problem to get rid of the hobgoblin's pursuit. If the two are together, it is almost impossible to escape smoothly.

At this time, it was the black dragon Sigrit and Lilia who appeared in front of his eyes.

The current time is about three or four o'clock in the morning, so it is impossible for the two of them to wander around the Forest of Tranquility in the middle of the night because they were bored.

Thinking of Thorne here, he immediately locked his eyes on Sigrit.

He originally thought that this little girl who was only three-thirds enthusiastic about something would stay in Fallstown for a few days, and would leave on her own when she got tired of playing, so he asked Lilia to accompany her for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the other party stayed in Pushang Town for more than a month, and now he left Pushang Town without heeding his advice.

"Why can't we appear here?" Sigrit saw Lilia who bowed her head and said confidently.

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have noticed something interesting, her eyes lit up, she walked directly to Thorn's side, and said with a smile: "Hey! What's wrong with your face, it's all disfigured."

Then, Sigrit held the sheathed sword and looked Thorne up and down, and joked with a playful smile:

"Thorn, I don't know why, every time I see you in such a mess, I feel inexplicably happy and excited."

After Sigrit finished speaking, taking advantage of Thorn's brows slightly frowning, she reached out and patted his shoulder without knowing how serious it was, and continued: "My little pet, you seem to be in trouble and need your master help?"

The moment Sigrit, who hadn't noticed that the opponent was seriously injured, patted her shoulder with her palm, Thorne suddenly felt a gravity attack, as if his shoulder had been hit by a hammer.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of tearing pain came from the wound on the right leg that was half supporting his body, making his face even paler, and he couldn't help gasping for air.

Immediately afterwards, his body shook slightly, and he staggered back two steps, so that he almost fell to the ground.

"You didn't see that he was already injured, and he still doesn't know the severity." Lilia, who noticed Thorne's strangeness, saw his leg injury, and first complained to Sigrit very dissatisfied.

Then he hurried to him, carefully supported him to sit on the ground, and began to help him treat the wound.

"...a guy who puts more emphasis on sex than friends." Sigrit, who knew she was wrong because of her miss, glanced at the two apologetically, muttered something in a low voice, and walked aside without saying a word.

Because the moment the two met, she was immediately attracted by Thorne's disfigured face and embarrassed funny appearance, so she didn't notice that there were two wounds on his legs, so she accidentally hit a little harder.

However, as a proud black dragon, she never admits her mistakes. She can only blame the ranger for being too slow to dodge her attack, or his body is too fragile, even her friendly greeting I can't bear it.

So, it's not her fault at all.

Sigrit comforted herself in her heart.

——"Three-ring Divine Art: Treat serious injuries!"

"Thank you." Seeing that the wound on his leg healed quickly with the help of divine arts, Thorne, who was sitting on the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thanked the careful half-elf girl in front of him.

Lilia moved Thorne's gaze away, shook her head slightly at him, and then smiled back at him.

What happened in more than a month, whether it was Thorn's eradication of the hobgoblin assassins on the outskirts of Fallstown, or the actions in the past few days, she knew everything clearly.

Seeing that Thorne already has the strength to protect the town alone, Lilia was a little worried while being happy.

She was very worried that Thorne would choose to leave here because the town could protect itself, so that it would be difficult to see him in the future.

And she will become a...lonely person again, and Lilia thinks that the novel word Sigrit is used on herself...in fact, it is quite appropriate.

"Why are you two here?"

Sensing the movement in the depths of the forest and the screams of some wild animals, Thorn knew that the hobgoblin hunters were about to approach here, so he didn't dare to stay here for too long, so he asked directly.

Now, under the effect of divine magic, his injuries have almost recovered. As long as he leads these hunters away alone, Lilia and Lilia will be out of danger.

But he was a little confused by the strange appearance of these two people here. He always felt that the two of them were here to find him, so he wanted to find out the real reason.

"Archbishop Rausian said that you are in trouble, and let us come to meet you." Lilia came back to her senses, gave Thorne a complicated look, and replied standing beside him.

So that's the case, so the high priest of the Melikai Temple has been watching me secretly?
After listening to Lilia's explanation, Thorn pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is the magic of 'avoid detection' possible? "

……

The night is like water, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

The silver moonlight sprinkled down silently, and the whole Tranquil Forest seemed to be covered with a layer of light frost and snow, making it appear hazy and dreamlike.

At this time, in the depths of this almost primitive dense jungle, the figures leaping between the four forests suddenly stopped.

"The trail of the ranger has disappeared." A hobgoblin covered in black robes said slowly, looking at the dim amulet in his hand.

Then, the hobgoblin frowned involuntarily.

As a high-ranking priest of the Temple of the Mighty One, he felt troublesome for this second-rank little ranger.

In addition to being able to easily exempt from his controlling magic, the stalker of the Way of Silence was able to get rid of the tracking of his divining magic, which made him start to have a headache.

In the past, he led the hunting team to complete so many missions in the Black Pearl Forest, and he has never been so difficult as today.

"If today's task cannot be completed, I must join the Fire Seed Project and follow the voters of the Mighty One to open up wasteland in the deepest part of the Great Swordscar Mountain Range." The hobgoblin priest who remembered this incident almost frowned. line.

Obviously, he didn't want to go. Rather than going to the unknown land to open up wasteland, he preferred to stay in the Temple of the Mighty One every day and help the Heruk hobgoblin group gradually grow.

Therefore, the ranger must die. The hobgoblin priest clenched the amulet in his hand with one hand, and took out the holy emblem with the bleeding ax blade in the other hand, preparing to cast an expensive divination spell to search for the ranger.

The goblin bear and the two hobgoblins walking in the front noticed the abnormality of the hobgoblin priest, and they all remained silent. They chose to look suspiciously at the hobgoblin who spoke, waiting for the next move.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

Just as the hobgoblin priest was hesitating and struggling in his heart, and was about to pay the price to perform the divine spell of prophecy, the bushes not far away suddenly shook, which directly caught his attention.

The remaining three people also cast their gazes over, looking at the surging bushes.

Immediately afterwards, the hobgoblin holding a composite longbow and a goblin bear who was completely burned by the flames and looked like a depilated bear set their eyes on the hobgoblin captain again, as if asking him for advice.

Nima!

Feeling the eyes of the two, Captain Hobgoblin cursed inwardly.

Because the ranger they were following behaved so weirdly that he made two mistakes in his judgment and killed a goblin bear the first time.

The second time, he clearly noticed that the ranger had locked his murderous eyes on his teammates, so he immediately reminded him, but the deadly sharp blade appeared behind him, and almost killed him.

Fortunately, the high priest arrived in time.

The hobgoblin captain, who was secretly thankful, looked at the vigilant high priest.

The trace of the ranger has disappeared without a trace, and only the high-level priests of the powerful can solve the current situation.

The frenzied surge of the bushes seemed to issue an incomprehensible order.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

The moment everyone turned their gazes to the bushes, bursts of sounds like mechanical gears turning instantly came from another direction.

There was a crackling sound of gears turning, and a black shadow rushed out suddenly.

That suffocating movement rushed to the hobgoblin priest in the blink of an eye, and a sharp blade exuding icy cold light slammed the head of the hobgoblin priest fiercely.

"boom!"

But it is a pity that when the blade was about to hit the high priest, it was blocked by an almost invisible protective barrier, causing this menacing sword to return in vain.

Noticing the dim protective force field, the high priest's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately retreated to distance himself from it.

When he saw the face of the attacker, his expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "What is this? Is it a construction golem?"

What appeared in front of everyone was not the ranger who made them gnash their teeth, but a humanoid creature covered in towering armor.

The armor of this figure was covered by a large area of ​​pure black dragon scales, and her face was completely covered by a steel mask with two ferociously curved horns, only two light green shimmering eyes were exposed.

Her right hand is a long sword exuding pale blue light and a faint frosty air, and her left hand is a triangular blade that spins crazily. At the joint of the blade is a fine gold chain that can shrink freely.

The armor's steel gloves and steel combat boots are all connected together, and under the bright moonlight, even hidden gears and small parts can be seen in the gaps.

"Crack!"

Just when the hobgoblin was offering sacrifices to the dazed god, the black shadow once again heard the clicking sound of various gears connecting and rotating.

Immediately afterwards, the two spray devices behind the black shadow erupted with powerful air waves, kicking up dust on the ground.

Under the propulsion of the air waves, the black shadow that launched the charge was extremely fast, and approached the hobgoblin priest again in an instant. The sharp blade wrapped in an invincible force, and it hit his protective barrier. With a slight click sound, The barrier shattered.

The spinning blade also shot out suddenly, reaching the head of the hobgoblin priest.

The hobgoblin priest narrowly escaped the blade's volley.

Taking advantage of the gap where the blade was retracted by the fine gold chain, he quickly opened a large distance from the opponent.

Immediately, he took out a sharp beheading axe, backed up to keep the distance, and blessed himself with various buffs.

He knew very well that it was obviously impossible to rely on attacking magic to deal with the enemy, because the opponent's continuous attacks would never give him a chance to prepare magic.

Moreover, this construct-like humanoid creature is absolutely immune to most magical attacks.

Therefore, only he can only deal with the opponent in close combat.

As priests of powerful beings, their best melee ability is actually their melee combat ability. For them, divine arts are just an auxiliary function.

The moment the two buff magic spells were completed, the hobgoblin priest full of strength no longer retreated, but held the beheading ax tightly in both hands, and greeted the enemy with a roar.

At the same time, the moment the black shadow hit the high priest and attracted the eyes of the three, the swaying bushes began to surge crazily, unwilling to be lonely.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

What followed was the sound like a thousand sharp knives being unsheathed.

All the weeds and trees around the bushes grew sharp thorns, and they were bent into thorns. The group of demons danced wildly and entangled the bear goblin and two hobgoblins who had just reacted.

The two hobgoblins reacted quickly. One flapped its wings and flew into the tall and straight bushes, while the other jumped and rolled continuously, and quickly moved away from the attack range of the thorns.

The hair-shedding goblin bear reacted a little slower, failed to dodge successfully, and was immediately entangled tightly by thorns.

Because the hair all over his body was burned by the flames, all the sharp thorns pierced into his fragile flesh and blood, no matter how much he struggled and howled, he couldn't get rid of it.

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterwards, a whistling arrow streaked across the night, and precisely hit Xiong Jixiong, who was struggling to move his body.

Thorne was not surprised to see the bear fell to the ground and died. He had personally tried the effect of the second-ring divine spell "Net of Thorns". With his 20-point perception attribute and the blessing of the tree-spirit blessing, he didn't have 18 points. The above power can't break the entanglement of thorns at all.

The goblin bear died first, and Thorne immediately turned his attention to the hobgoblin holding the composite longbow, because the goblin bear's challenge level was not as high as his, which meant that the ancient ritual of the steel soul faction still could not take effect .

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

With a thought, Thorne disappeared on the spot.

While the hobgoblin holding a composite longbow was trying his best to search for the figure of the enemy, he suddenly felt a palpitation behind him.

So he turned around abruptly, and without hesitation put the longbow in his hand against his neck.

However, just when the ranger's sharp blade was about to slash on the hobgoblin's bow arm, the blade jerked and disappeared without a trace.

"Pfft!"

The hobgoblin's arm holding the longbow snapped, and the pain of tearing his flesh made him scream.

At this time, another supporting hobgoblin slammed fireballs the size of basketballs towards Thorne frantically.

Thorn, who had long been blessed with resistance to the fire magic, was unmoved, but took advantage of this to leap forward, swung a sword with his backhand, and stabbed the hobgoblin's throat with precision, and the hobgoblin's wailing with the broken arm stopped abruptly. It twitched on the ground and then died.

"Boom!"

Fiery fireballs exploded around Thorne.

However, all the raging fire waves were successfully resisted by Thorne's energy force field and fire avoidance formula.

"It's done!"

The hobgoblin was successfully killed. Thorne saw the increase in experience and judged that the hobgoblin's challenge level was higher than his, and understood that the prerequisites for the ancient ceremony had been fulfilled.

So he pointed Mo Feng in a certain direction, sending a signal to Lilia who was hiding in the dark to attack, and then fixed his eyes on the last hobgoblin flying in midair.

"Roar!"

The crouching dragon beast took the lead in attacking, and its vigorous figure rushed out of the crazily shaking bushes like an arrow flying from the string.

——"Supernatural ability: breath attack!"

A large expanse of poisonous mist and strong acid spewed out from its mouth, completely obscuring the hobgoblin's figure and sight.

"call out!"

What followed was a bursting arrow that shone with fire. The moment it hit the hobgoblin's wing, it exploded in the air, emitting a dazzling fire.

The body of the hobgoblin, whose wings were blown to pieces, swayed, and fell straight towards the ground uncontrollably.

However, before he landed, Thorne's ready-to-go longbow shot helped him end the pain in the echo of the bowstring.

After the battle was over, Thorn gave Lilia a thumbs up appreciatively to Lilia who was hiding in the bushes.

on the other side of the battlefield.

The hobgoblin priest and Sigrit in armor are still fighting.

The High Priest, who possessed all kinds of magical spells and protective barrier blessings, was able to counterattack from time to time while resisting Sigrit's stormy onslaught.

However, Sigrit's constructed armor is extremely hard, and apart from leaving behind irrelevant traces, the result is Sigrit's more fierce counterattack, causing his protective barrier to gradually become dim.

"They're all dead!"

The High Priest, who was in a hard fight, noticed that all his hunters had been killed by the damned Ranger. He was startled, and immediately understood that it was meaningless for him to stay here.

So he faced the dim protective force field, and forced Sigrit to slash with his sword.

Then instantly activated the long-distance teleportation spell on the holy emblem, planning to withdraw from the battle.

"Oops! The surrounding space is blocked by the dimensional anchor!" Realizing that the magical teleportation spell was useless, the expression of the hobgoblin priest changed suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he was stunned, the triangular blade spinning in Sigrit's left hand sprayed out.

At the moment when it was about to approach the hobgoblin, the blade suddenly changed its trajectory while swinging the adamantine chain, spinning wildly around the hobgoblin.

In a moment, the chains wrapped around him so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

Then Sigrit thought, and with the clicking sound of various mechanical gears, the adamantine chains were suddenly retracted, and the body of the hobgoblin without the protection of the force field was hit hard on the hideous spikes on the outside of the armor. Thorn on.

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed, and the bloody head of the hobgoblin priest flew into the dust.

　Thanks to the boss: z712 for the reward, thank you for your support! ! !
