Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 63 Ruins of Yuanshan Town

The sun was setting, the sky was half-light and half-dark, and the dirt road leading to Yuanshan Town was glowing red. On the dense tree branches on both sides, there were also a few birds returning to their nests, making hoarse calls .

At this time, a black shadow in the sky swooped down from far to near, and quickly approached the jungle. Suddenly, the sound of birds flapping their wings echoed in the swaying jungle.

Tweet!
A loud eagle howl pierced the sky, and after circling around Thorn's head, the dire eagle slowly landed on his shoulder.

Thorne caressed the eagle's head, looked into the fierce eagle's spiritual eyes for a moment, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, take a good rest."

The Dire Eagle nodded humanely, quickly spread its wings, circled a few times above Thorn, and then turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with the ruins of Yuanshan Town?" Andelina looked at Thorn who was looking forward and thinking, and couldn't help but ask.

After setting off from Talan Village in the early morning, the three of them were busy on the road almost all the time, without stopping for too much rest.

In Thorne's words, in this wasteland, night is the most dangerous, and various nocturnal predators and ferocious beasts often appear.

So they had to rush to the ruins of Yuanshan Town to spend the night before dark.

Now it is less than half a kilometer away from Yuanshan Town, but Thorne is standing here without the slightest intention of leaving. Could it be that he is in some danger again?

Andelina couldn't help looking at Thorne with some concern.

"There are about 20 gnolls living in the ruins of Yuanshan Town. I'm thinking whether to clean them up, or to hide from the front and wait until the next day."

Thorn glanced at her, then said in the direction of Yuanshan Town.

It is not very difficult for him to clean up more than 20 gnolls. The only thing that makes him afraid is that after killing all these gnolls, other predators will be attracted.

At this time, this place is already in the Emerald Field, completely out of the scope of the strength of Winter City.

The intelligent races of the wilderness act here without any scruples.

The survival of the weak and the survival of the fittest is the law of survival in the Emerald Field.

Goblins, kobolds, gnolls, trolls, ogres, lizardmen, etc., and even encountering hill giants in unlucky times is not surprising.

Therefore, he had to carefully consider every decision he made in the wilderness.

"I think it's better to spend the night in the ruins of Yuanshan Town. The town is so big, there is always a place to hide, at least it's better than the wild." Andelina said softly after thinking for a while.

"Okay, then you guys wait here for a while, I'll go and clean it up first." Thorn said to her without any objection when he heard the words, and immediately took off the composite longbow behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

Thorne was about to leave when Anderina called him over.

"Is there anything else?" Thorne stopped and turned around and asked.

"Why do I always feel that you treat the two of us as fools? How can I say that I am also a dragon vein warlock, am I worse than you, a ranger?"

Andrina pointed to Trundle and said with a somewhat displeased expression.

"Then let's go together." Thorn was startled, then said lightly.

……

Swish!
Accompanied by slight footsteps, three figures appeared near the jungle in the ruins of Yuanshan Town.

"This is Yuanshan Town. It looks more like an important military town. I really can't figure out how it fell."

Andelina glanced at the majestic city wall, leaned over to Thorne and said softly.

Thorn looked up at the stone city wall that was nearly 6 meters ahead, but he was not surprised.

Even though Yuanshan Town had been captured by the Jackals, except for the town's gate being destroyed, the surrounding protective walls remained relatively intact.

"A city wall of this level can't withstand the attack of the hill giant at all. Don't be surprised. It won't be too late to be surprised when you arrive in Twilight Town." Thorne said to Anderina.

Because he noticed the scattered footprints of the hill giants on the ground, it was obvious that the wolf man even hired the hill giants to attack Yuanshan Town this time.

The hill giant has a height of more than 3.5 meters, and his strength attribute has at least 25 points or more after adulthood.

When these big fools attacked the city, their favorite attack method was to stand in the safest place, lift a stone the size of a millstone, and smash it at the soldiers guarding the city wall with a whistling sound.

As long as there are enough stones, they are heavy-duty trebuchets that can move flexibly. The mountain giants can smash stones into the city wall of Yuanshan Town about 6 meters away.

This threat is fatal enough for Yuanshan Town.

Among the six small towns in Emerald Field, Twilight Town had the tallest city wall, with a height of more than 12 meters and a thickness of about 2 meters.

And because it was built by the river, it also introduced the water of the Emerald River to excavate a 3-meter-wide moat, in which many ferocious piranhas were kept in captivity.

As long as you dare to jump in, after a while your kung fu will turn into a pile of bones.

Thorne looked in the direction of the city wall, took an arrow from his quiver, pointed to the two dangling wolf man guards on the city wall, and said to Anderina:

"The jackal with the mace is handed over to you, is there a problem?"

"No problem at all!"

Andrina glanced at it, smiled confidently at Thorne, and immediately took out a staff inlaid with rubies.

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

puff!

An arrow pierced through the air, piercing the Jackal man's chest with precision, and the Wolf man let out a wail, fell to the ground and died soon after.

The other wolf man with a mace saw his companion's abnormal state, and was about to howl to call other companions.

An arrow that shone with a dark green light followed and shot at his face. Accompanied by strong acid corrosion, half of the wolf guard's head was quickly melted.

go!
Thorne put away his longbow, lifted his long sword, and rushed towards Yuanshan Town first, followed by the troll Trundle, and Anderina was a step behind.

After Thorn entered Yuanshan Town, he just casually glanced at the various collapsed houses and buildings inside, and immediately ran towards the place where more than 20 wolf men lived.

Because he had let the Dire Eagle scout out the approximate location of the Gnoll in advance, it was very convenient to find it.

Ow!

In a fairly complete large courtyard, two gatekeeper jackals saw Thorn appear, immediately roared to call for their companions, and then raised their mace and bone hammer to face Thorne.

Thorn didn't show any fear at all. The gnolls living here were just a small group wandering in the wilderness. Their strength was not very good. The creature level was around level 3, and they didn't even have a professional level.

puff!

A cold light flashed, just as the jackal raised the mace in his hand, he suddenly felt that his right arm was empty, and then he saw his arm and the mace fall to the ground.

Hey!
Painful roars sounded, and bloodthirsty anger burst out in the eyes looking at Thorne.

Thorn turned around gently, avoiding the wolf man's dying pounce, and the dagger in his left hand pierced the wolf man's heart from its back with precision.

Then Thorne kicked the Broken Arm Gnoll away, dodging the smashing sound of another Gnoll Bone Crusher again.

He deftly walked around behind him, swung his long sword and jumped up violently, a wolf man's head soared into the sky.

Ow!Ow!
Apparently, the wailing of the two gnolls guarding the gate before they died successfully alarmed the other gnolls in the room.

They all took up weapons and rushed towards Thorne, even those without weapons stretched out sharp claws and ferocious fangs.

Get out of the way!

At this time, Andelina's voice sounded behind Thorne.

So Thorne chose to retreat without hesitation.

——"Three-ring spell: Fireball!"

Rumble!
A dark red fireball the size of a washbasin, exuding scorching heat, exploded among the crowd of wolves.

The high-temperature flames raged, mixed with the impact of the explosion, and the surrounding gnolls were blown upside down, and the dense mane of the whole body burned with raging flames.

……

From Thorn stepping into the courtyard to the end of the battle, it was a massacre without any resistance from the Wolf man.

Thorne led Anderina into the room in the courtyard, looking at the four wolf man cubs that kept roaring in the corner.

"If you want to survive in the wilderness, you must learn to be cruel. Go and kill them!" Thorne pointed at the wolf cubs with his long sword, and instructed Anderina.

"This..." Anderina looked at Thorn hesitantly, and saw that his handsome face was full of murderous intent when he looked at the wolf cub.

Then she looked at the wolf cubs hiding in the corner, and found that these little guys were staring at her with fierce eyes at this time, and from time to time they let out threatening growls.

The look of struggle in Anderina's eyes flashed away, and she gently raised the staff in her hand and pointed at the four wolf cubs hiding in the corner.
