Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Chapter 262 The strangeness of the scorpions

Chang'an City. .zhetian.

The members of the Christmas Clown Troupe who were kindly invited followed the guide directly to the outside of the Northwest Pass as some people wished.

When they heard the officers and soldiers' suggestion, they neither answered nor asked questions. Instead, they simply stopped in the middle of the street, leaving the officers and soldiers in full armor at a loss.

Nick raised his hand to control the airflow to isolate the conversation of their group. Worried about being disturbed by other wind saint mages, Nick turned his head and snapped his fingers at Dion beside him.

Dion was already prepared. There were three flower seeds in his palm, and he flicked them into the air.The flower seeds broke into stems in an instant, and grew into three delicate and budding red roses. They hung upside down in a triangle shape and slowly rotated above their heads. A layer of light pink transparent light mask also took shape, adding to the confidentiality of their conversation. An unbreakable layer of insurance.Note 1

Both are elves, and they choose to be archers who prefer force every year. Dion is a priest who prefers magic. He is currently level 68, but this is just a level number, which only shows his carelessness in leveling up.In fact, except for Nick and Nian Nian, probably no one knows how terrifying he looks when he takes action seriously.

Everyone sitting on the floor was silent for a while until Nick spoke calmly.

"Cy was taken advantage of."

They had just arrived here and were about to find someone, when someone came diligently to act as a guide. Even the big mouse in York wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy here.

And this is definitely not what Nian Nian wants them to find her.

Although she often acted willfully with Nick, she was not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble for everyone, so it could only be that others wanted to use their years to influence Nick and others.

“This guy knows us well.”

Sarah also added. If they didn't understand the relationship between these people, they wouldn't have adopted such a blatant trap to make them consciously go to the place expected by others, and even if they knew the calculation in the middle, they would definitely go.

Perhaps it was because they saw through the plot here and discovered that Nian Nian was actually being used as a bait. They wanted to find this original and youngest member.

"It seems we should first find out what happened here." Dion turned his eyes and suggested.The guards have surrounded the light mask and are still dispersing the crowd who want to watch.

"Sarah, send a message to Cy later, saying that we are going to travel around China and meet her when we have time. By the way, ask her if she has any good sightseeing suggestions."

Sarah nodded. She knew that Nick wanted to hide this from Nian Nian so that she would not blame herself for implicating everyone.

"We really need to understand what is going on here, including the details of this world mission. Just listening to the conversation between the two women, it seems that there is some unexpected turmoil here in the Huaxia District."

Nick said, looking at his team members one by one, thinking about which people to assign to find out information from local players.

But although Sarah has a delicate mind, her appearance is too weird. Also conspicuous are the clown York and the dwarf Kraft. The twins themselves are very weird, and John, who can only recite the Bible, is unable to communicate normally with ordinary people. It seems that look

"Why is there no normal person around me?" Nick gritted his teeth, and for the first time he disliked the composition of his mercenary group.

The other seven people who heard this all focused their attention on Nick's right hand. Ever since this man left the river, the knife in his right hand had been flying around his fingertips all the time. The sharp blade had taken away several pieces of flesh, and his whole hand was dripping with blood.

"I'll go." Dion shook his head helplessly. Among these people, he was the only one who looked normal from appearance to speech.

"Well, remember to work with your mouth, not your vagina."

"Nick" Sarah glared at him warningly.

Nick gave up the last word, stood up and waved his bloody right hand. The soundproof wind wall and a few drops of blood fell at the same time, but the three red roses were still hovering above his head.

"I'm going to confirm Cy's safety first." Looking at Nick who was losing his composure, Dion said helplessly, reminding him of his role.

Nick retracted his left leg and turned around impatiently, staring at Dion with "Why didn't you tell me earlier" written all over his face.

"leaf."

Dion took the small green leaf from Nick's hand.These are this year’s new leaves on the birthday tree every year.

"rt" Dion said softly, using his finger to draw a vertical line and two parallel diagonal lines crossing it on the front of the blade. Note 2

When the diagonal line is drawn, it seems that a thin rattan tentacle curls out from the leaf, twists and plunges into the air before disappearing.A blink of an eye passed, and Dion looked at the small pale yellow flower that retracted from the air, nodded to the nervous Nick, and gently brushed away the words he had just written on the leaves.

Knowing that Nian Nian was safe for the time being, the others were slightly relieved. Nick even left the young leaf to Dion. Dion also nodded and said that he would check Nian Nian's situation from time to time.

"Next," Nick smiled kindly at Dion, and pushed away the muscles of his cheek stiffly.

It was the first time I saw Nick smiling at Dion, and it was still such a kind and non-sarcastic smile. Everyone, including Dion, was a little uncomfortable. Dion coughed lightly, raised his hand to recall the three red roses still spinning above his head, and collected the flower seeds returned to his palm.

"I know. But how to deal with these people?" Dion turned his back to the guards who came up to him again, and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Nick, who was smiling stiffly.

"Don't worry about them."

Nick put away his smile and opened his arms wide. Suddenly, a strong wind blew around him, causing the soldiers to stagger. There were vague things like nettles and burrs rushing towards their faces, which shocked everyone and quickly protected their fragile eyes and ears. Mouth and nose, looking awkwardly for shelter from the wind.

When everything calmed down and everyone managed to open their itchy and red eyes, the seven people with different appearances and weird behaviors had long disappeared.

The scorpions gradually became less afraid of fire. This was quickly noticed by the gray-armored general of the Qilin Army named Mu Shi, who immediately issued a new command.

"Lance, pen blade"

The Spitfire Lancer who was filling the back row with kerosene immediately stopped what he was doing, clamped the barrel of the gun with his left elbow, and quickly clasped a disc with a toothed edge under the tip of the gun with his right hand, with the disc pointing slightly outward. The protrusion, if you look closely, you can see that the disc's sharp teeth are shining with cold light.

The pikeman who had been replaced by a pen gun stepped forward again, mounted his gun on his shield, and the shieldman immediately moved slightly to the left and right, letting the iron gun shaft fall from the gap between the two shields. When it hit the ground, the tip of the gun rotated, and the gun flew. The tip of the pen raised a series of whirlwinds with the blade, crushing the scorpions in front of it, and the red fragments of limbs and armor suddenly dyed the already dark beast head and shield red.

Fire attacks were not allowed, and the long archers were ordered to stop. Nian Nian, who had just joined the team, felt disappointed.

"Do you have range skills?" Qi Youfeng, who followed into the formation, reminded him softly.

Nian Nian understood it immediately, found a gap unobstructed by human figures and stood there, pulled out a wooden arrow and put it on the bow string, aiming it condescendingly at the group of red scorpions.

Six rays of green light flew, landed on the edge of the shield and then rushed out of the scorpion group. Wherever the arrow light passed, the red scorpions were all twisted into the whirlwind. The originally colorless whirlwind was also filled with countless red particles from shallow to deep. , six piles of red hills were formed in the place where the whirlwind dissipated in the distance, and the ground in front of the shield-bearing infantry finally revealed the color that the sand sea should have.

Nian Nian's bow and six arrows were actually more effective than the hundreds of spearmen who shot together. Everyone behind her who witnessed this scene cheered and even thought that she might have killed the entire scorpion group.

Unfortunately, this has not been done every year.The scorpions that had been briefly forced back surged in again from the small lake in the oasis, densely packed over the hills built by their companions, and in the blink of an eye they once again approached the defense built by the shield soldiers.

Looking at the scorpion group and situation that seemed to be exactly the same as a few seconds ago, Nian Nian frowned slightly and dispersed the whirlwind formed by his fingertips. Instead, the icy blue shimmer jumped and enveloped the other six pieces of wood that had just been put on the bowstring. arrow.

Nian Nian feels that these new red scorpions seem to be much larger than the previous ones.She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she still cautiously changed her skills. Six rays of cold light then flashed out, freezing the scorpions in front of the shield, and building an ice wall outside the shield wall that was already dripping under the scorching sun. .

Year after year, I stared at the red scorpion shadows in the ice wall carefully, and the more I looked at them, the more frightened I became. Then my eyes widened, and I looked carefully against the direction in which the scorpions were coming. Finally, I fixed my eyes on the small oasis lake. center.

"Is there a problem?" Qi Youfeng asked in a low voice.He doesn't have the same eyesight as Nian Nian, so he can only judge the situation based on Nian Nian's reaction at this time.

“There’s a big problem”

Before he finished speaking, Nian Nian had already rushed back to the sand dune where Shi Sui and others were, and eagerly grabbed Shi Sui's sleeve.

"There's a big guy in the lake"

Nian Nian, who was already frowning, was shocked when he heard this. Song Qing and Zheng Qi, who were beside him, surrounded Nian Nian and asked hurriedly, "Are you sure?"

Nian Nian nodded, quickly organized the words in his mind, and said, "The frozen poisonous scorpions melted directly, and the subsequent poisonous scorpions gradually became larger, and a huge tail needle was vaguely exposed in the lake. If the stalemate continues like this, I I guess that big guy will come out."

"Why are there still poisonous scorpions?"

"Then run away quickly. What are you waiting for?"

"Even we can't help, so we should leave quickly."

Songqing and the others were not the only ones who heard Nian Nian's words. Others in Xingtianxia had just been gathered here by Shi Sui's organization. At this time, they all spoke out to persuade Shi Sui to retreat.

"Humph, you guys ran away and let us take the rear?"

Zheng Qi's eyes were like lightning, scanning the players who were already thinking about quitting, and stopped them in their tracks.

Players from Xingtianxia can escape because there are people from the Qilin Army and the Envoy Guards in front of them to withstand the stings of the scorpions. And once everyone retreats, those swarms of scorpions like a tide will soon catch up with everyone who can't run as fast as a camel.

Even if these thousand soldiers can fight and retreat, how can they be sure that these poisonous scorpions will not chase them hundreds or even a thousand meters away and the people behind them will not be injured or killed?

"We can't escape, we can't retreat. We have to press on as soon as possible to block that thing in the lake." Shi Sui also understood Zheng Qi's anger at this time and immediately expressed his attitude.

Zheng Qi snorted, turned around and ran back to the Qilin Army. It seemed that he wanted to inform the other two comrades of the observation results every year.

"Why block it and press it directly?" Song Qing turned around and asked.

"Press, but don't kill. The more you kill, the faster the big guy will come out."

Shi Sui said with a worried look on his face. After hearing the sound of "Spear, retreat", his face suddenly brightened, and he understood that Zheng Qi, a smart man, had also noticed this.

"Then did I get into trouble just now?"

After hearing this, Nian Nian suddenly felt uneasy, and other people in Xingtianxia also looked at him with uncomfortably complaining looks, unaware that they had cheered for Nian Nian's huge lethality before.

"No, it's thanks to you that we were able to discover that guy in the lake early. If we really let the Qilin Army kill him slowly, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before we discovered anything strange about the scorpions."

Shi Sui smiled at Nian Nian and touched her head approvingly. Song Qing directly said that he would give Niannian a red envelope as a bonus later.

Qi Youfeng's eyes passed coldly across the faces of the Xingtianxia players, his eyes as sharp as knives, and he immediately suppressed many dissatisfied whispers.

Shi Sui also saw the threat in Qi Youfeng's eyes, but he just ignored it and calmly turned around and began to command.

"Everyone is ready to assist the Qilin Army in suppressing the scorpion swarm. After removing the shield soldiers in melee combat, they will assist in the advancement. The assistants will take turns to add buffs. Pay attention to consumption and skill range, and reserve some vitality for the final explosion. Those players who are good at shooting will follow. Longbowmen in the military formation, you can do whatever they want. Players in Mingtang should be prepared. The most important step depends on you."

The central glowing earth formation of Mingtang can mobilize the yellow sand to cover the lake, and the amplification effect after the five elements are connected must be able to fill up the entire small lake in an instant.But the problem now is how to get the players in Mingtang to get close to the small lake and stand in a suitable position.

Although the compass in the hands of the players in Mingtang can stay in the air for a short time or be thrown a certain distance, it is not a flying saucer after all and cannot be too far away from the players themselves. And in the position where they are now, it is impossible to move the compass anyway. Sent to the lake.

"We can go around to the other side of the oasis, but we need protection. It would be best if we could allocate a few teams of shield soldiers to us." A dozen players in Mingtang quickly discussed it and immediately suggested to Shi Sui.

"You guys should try forming your own team first. We don't have enough time. I'm afraid the Qilin Army won't be able to mobilize the manpower."

Understanding that the situation was urgent, the Mingtang players immediately dispersed. Except for Sanchishui who was still guarding Shi Sui, the other melee professions in Xingtianxia immediately stood beside their familiar Mingtang friends. After balancing their manpower, they prepared to escort these people. Go around the scorpions and go to the other end of the oasis.

Shi Sui nodded, and a team of more than ten players immediately ran towards both sides of the shield wall.

However, Sui, Songqing, and Niannian who were observing the situation suddenly secretly screamed that something was wrong, and the remaining people who had prepared to provide skill assistance also immediately exclaimed loudly.

Xing Tianxia's team was bypassing the shield wall. The scorpion group that was charging straight ahead split into two in an instant. It was about to cross both sides of the shield wall and hit Xing Tianxia's player team head-on.

"Is this, is this really coming for us?"

Note 1: The budding rose also has the occult symbolic meaning of concealment and confidentiality. Some Masonic and alchemical groups today still hang a red rose upside down from the ceiling of their secret meeting place to symbolize the secrecy of the meeting. The reason why three flowers are used here is because the number 3 has special magic power in Druid culture. Repeating the same pattern three times in a wheel shape is an enhancement of magic power.

Note 2 An Ogham text is written here, but unfortunately it cannot be typed out. rt means ivy. In plant mysticism, ivy has a special female symbolic meaning. Grapevines are generally male symbols, and they also have the meaning of connection and binding.
