Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 70 Small talk
The thin fog in the morning shrouded the devastated ruins of Yuanshan Town.

After the gnolls and the fire ravaged this once noisy town, all that remained was the dried blood and the pain hidden in the deepest hearts of the survivors who left.

Standing on the wall of Yuanshan Town, Thorn looked at the majestic mountains of the Great Swordscar Mountains in the west. The boundless mountains and every mountain peak seemed to be the vivid traces left by a sharp sword.

It is this mountain range that traverses the entire peninsula from north to south and the vast emerald field that allows countless intelligent races to multiply and live here, making them fight each other endlessly for the survival space.

"Who will be next?"

Thorn turned to look at the ruins, whispered something to himself, and then walked down the steps of the city wall slowly.

The emerald field is about to usher in the cold winter, when the whole wilderness is covered with snow.

Those humanoid tribes with insufficient food preparations will starve to death or freeze to death when the winter food is exhausted. These things are too common in the wasteland.

A cold winter can eliminate most of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

So after the month of rotting leaves, the month of the end of the year will be the craziest and bloodiest moment in the entire wasteland.

This kind of battle for food can only be stopped by a timely heavy snow.

Because the thick snow on the Emerald Field can almost prevent all creatures from going out, most races can only stay in their own territory and tremble, feeling the power of nature.

Then there will be a period of relative peace, until the next year the snow melts and everything recovers.

Thorne, who had spent a cold winter in Fallstown, knew it all too well.

"Morning!"

Andelina stroked her slightly loose long hair, walked up to Thorn and greeted him with a smile.

"morning!"

Thorn, who came over, met her gaze and responded softly.

At this time, from the corner of Andelina's eyes, she noticed corpses scattered on the ground. The blood from the wounds had stopped flowing, and all of them were covered in frost. They were obviously killed last night.

Most of the gnolls, ogres, goblin bears, trolls, etc. were killed by one blow, and there were still doubts and fears on their ferocious faces.

Andelina looked at Thorne in surprise and asked, "You killed these guys when they broke in last night?"

The night in the wilderness is full of dangers, and she has heard many players mention it.

Anderina had originally planned to fight after encountering an unexpected situation last night.

Unexpectedly, the night passed unexpectedly peacefully, and only then did she realize that Thorne had killed all dangers in the cradle.

Thorne nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Most of these humanoid creatures broke into here after the traces of the bloody smell, and then they were attacked and killed by him who was hiding in the dark.

During this period, a group of more than 20 dire wolves were also attracted.

However, Thorne did not show up to provoke them.

And these simple-minded beasts just ate around the corpses and left quickly.

"Pack up, let's get ready to go, we can reach Twilight Town before dusk." Thorne noticed Trundle coming over after getting ready, so he said to Anderina.

"Then let's go." Anderina nodded lightly.

……

Most of the day's rush time passed like this.

But compared to the three of Thorne, their journey was not very smooth.

puff!

Thorn leaped violently, and a cold light flashed across the long sword in his hand. The furry head of the bear goblin shot up into the sky, and the blood gushing out from the chest cavity looked extraordinarily strange under the refraction of the sunlight.

bump!
The blood-stained headless corpse fell to the ground, and the blood immediately soaked the yellow weeds and soft soil, and the strong smell of blood filled the wind.

Thorn held the long sword in his hand, and the eyes in the hood exuded a cold light, staring coldly at a dozen trembling goblins not far away, and then slowly approached step by step.

As several leading goblin bears were killed by Thorne, the morale of this group of goblins was already dangling on the verge of collapse!
Bang!

Finally, one of the goblins with trembling legs couldn't bear the heavy pressure, and instantly lost the will to fight. He dropped the weapon in his hand, screamed strangely, and ran away.

The impact of the first escaped goblin on the rest of the goblins immediately formed a chain reaction, and the other goblins followed suit, burrowing into the grass, bushes, and woods, and soon disappeared.

Thorne looked at the traces of the goblin's escape, and didn't mean to chase after it, but turned around and walked towards Trundle.

"The road from Talan Village to Yuanshan Town is very quiet, and I have never encountered so many monsters. Why come out of Yuanshan Town, there are as many goblins and kobolds as weeds on the side of the road, and they are extremely annoying."

Drundel sat on the grass, pulled out the last arrow stuck on his shoulder, and said to Thorne, and immediately poured a bottle of stamina recovery potion after speaking.

"The Gnolls in the Great Swordscar Mountain Range failed to attack Cold Winter City, and their strength was greatly damaged. Then, they were resisted and expelled by various races in the depths of the mountain range, mainly hill giants. A large number of wolf man remnants.

In order not to be caught by the jackals as food and cannon fodder, other weak races naturally flocked to Twilight Town desperately. "

Thorne looked at the scattered goblin corpses on the ground, analyzed them, and explained.

"However, there were very few traces of wolf men along the way, so where did these wolf men go after they captured Yuanshan Town?" Anderina came over to raise her doubts.

"There are two options. Either they counterattack and continue to compete with the hill giants for the lost territory, or they turn to attack Twilight Town, which is the closest to Far Mountain Town."

Thorne looked in the direction of Twilight Town and said in a deep voice.

From the fact that these goblin kobolds and other weak races gathered in Yuanshan Town, Thorne could judge that those jackals were probably attacking Twilight Town.

"Then... will Twilight Town be captured by jackals again?" Anderina asked subconsciously.

"Probably not. Twilight Town is the strongest town among all the players in the Emerald Fields. Just the city wall with a height of more than 12 meters, the gnolls have nothing to do with them."

Thorne shook his head and said his guess:
"With Twilight Town's defense, it is really difficult to be captured, but if the jackals just surround Twilight Town and don't go all out to attack the city, they will be exhausted sooner or later."

Gnolls can eat goblins, kobolds, and even their own people.

Do humans dare to eat these foods?
"Twilight Town was established by many real wealthy players, and it also gathered all the players who were scattered nearby. It can be said that it is rich and powerful, and it will not be so easy to be exhausted."

Andrina retorted.

"I hope so, when the money is always spent, the real strength is your own hard power. After all, many one-off strategic magic scrolls and other props are expensive, and they usually start with a few thousand gold coins.

Money can indeed solve many problems, but the current players hardly have any fixed income, and they dare not even mine the minerals found nearby, which means that the money will only be spent less and less. "

Thorne didn't care much and said that it didn't matter to him whether Twilight Town would fall. What he was most worried about was whether it would affect the northernmost town of Falls.

He has been away from Pushang Town for nearly half a year. Anyway, it's enough to go out to relax, and it's time to go back and have a look.

"If you're resting, let's go quickly. The smell of blood is too strong here, and it will soon attract other predators." Thorne said when he saw that Trundle's wound had recovered.

"Then what if Twilight Town is captured?" Andrina asked with concern as she walked up to Thorne and walked alongside him.

"What? Do you regret following here? Don't worry, it's still impossible with the remnants of the Wolf Man. It's just a matter of how much you lose."

Thorn turned his head to look at Anderina and smiled, then comforted her.

"I have no regrets or no regrets. I just don't want to leave any regrets in my life in this world. Now that I have chosen this path, I will never look back."

After hearing this, Andelina was relieved a lot, then looked around at the scenery and sighed slightly.
