Qin Lun stood on a huge swamp banyan tree, his figure hidden behind the branches and leaves. His palm was glowing with a faint green light invisible to others, and it was clinging to the tree trunk, which was the manifestation of the story of the high elves.
The dead swamp has sparse forests and thick water vapor. Even Elf Story can only get some vague information here. The location of the other party can be roughly located, but it is very unclear. Qin Lun needs to scout every other way.
"Tap..." Qin Lun kicked hard, his body drew a graceful arc in the air, and landed on another banyan tree not far away.
Although this is only the periphery of the Land of the Dead, the soil on the ground is muddy and there are many small puddles that look inconspicuous. Although it won't be sunk if it sinks in, it will inevitably make a lot of noise, which will alarm the followers in the distance.
When a skilled elf ranger tracks down an enemy in the forest, he usually takes the same action as Qin Lun, slowly approaching the enemy with a tall tree as a fulcrum. Due to the wind in the forest, the occasional movements on the branches of the trees are easily overlooked.
Leaping a certain distance in the forest, Qin Lun put his palm against the trunk of the banyan tree under his feet again. This time, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and the other party seemed to have noticed something very keenly, and began to change his hiding position, playing hide-and-seek with him.
After a while, Qin Lun finally showed a surprised expression.
"Safari... a high-ranking ranger?" Judging from these few investigations of Elven Story, the opponent's movement route is not scattered, but presents a regular arc.
Qin Lun had obtained the life inheritance of an ancient elf hunter from the Jondal moon elf tribe. It contains the memory fragments and martial arts inheritance of that ancient elf. Combined with the inheritance memory, it can be seen that the opponent's movement method is exactly the hunting behavior of a high-level ranger or elf hunter.
The so-called safari is the unique fighting style of grassland and forest intelligent races, which originated from the centaur race. Centaurs have the highest movement speed in the forest, and their archery and javelin skills are as good as elves.
Due to their large size, they cannot sneak close to their prey when hunting. They had no choice but to rely on their strong four hooves to keep running and chasing, keeping a certain distance on the one hand to prevent the prey from hurting themselves, while surrounding the escape direction of the prey on all sides, and finally shooting to death with bows and arrows and javelins.
The hunting fighting method has been developed to the present, and it is no longer the patent of the centaur. Elves and humans systematized this skill and turned it into a specialized ability for the three combat professions of ranger, hunter and nomadic knight.
"Interesting!" A smile appeared on Qin Lun's face, and he began to feel excited.
Since he became a jungle hunter, this is the first time he has fought in the jungle with another ranger class.
Even in the world of Nars before, fighting against that junior female archer Qing Ming was not actually a real hunter battle. Qin Lun, who has the heart of a hunter, will naturally not refuse to compete with this kind of opponent.
"Should I call Venus out?" Qin Lun tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally decided not to call the two hunting partners for the time being.
Cerberus is a hellfire dog, and he is not very suitable for the terrain of the death swamp. Moreover, after reaching the seventh level, his size is getting bigger and his speed is declining. In the hunting fighting style, he can't keep up with the rhythm at all.
The Shadow Storm Leopard is the best helper in this kind of battle, but Venus has already shown up in the underground temple of the Amberley Church.
Although it is unlikely that the other party is the Church of Amberley, it is also possible that they are the pioneers who have been hired to test them. There is no absolute certainty of sniping, so it is better not to be exposed for the time being.
Realizing that his opponent would no longer run away like a few days ago, Qin Lun became more careful. When approaching the opponent, pay more attention to hiding the traces. When standing still, immediately use the hunter's camouflage and hidden skills.
In the jungle, elf hunters have an advantage over other races of rangers and hunters because they have excellent night vision and elf story, however, this does not mean that other races of ranger hunters have no advantages in the jungle.
Human rangers sometimes often combine the skills of mages and thieves, and use lightness, detection, and stealth to make up for their weaknesses. Today, elf hunters have no absolute advantage.
Qin Lun and the other party circled each other and approached slowly. The silent night in the land of death was suddenly filled with a murderous atmosphere, and even some underground insects and ants stopped neighing.
The cold moonlight casts mottled patches on a sparse forest farm outside the Land of the Dead, and everything in the forest appears full of ghosts. The branches and leaves swaying in the night wind seem to be ghosts and monsters, and ghosts walk at night.
"Swoosh..." All of a sudden, a black light flashed across countless bushes like lightning, and shot at a group of black shadows in the forest. Banyan trees on the road.
The black shadow that looks like a tree stump to ordinary people jumped up suddenly, avoiding the black awn without a moment's notice. At the same time, a group of bright silver light exploded in front of it, and it galloped towards the direction of the black light.
"Duh, duh!" Two crisp voices sounded almost in sequence.
Following these two soft sounds, the black awns and silver awns in two opposite directions began to alternate continuously. Although the direction of the attack was constantly changing, the only thing that remained constant was the increasingly solidified tension between the two sides.
Qin Lun stared intently at the front. In his opinion, the battle that was originally a game had changed in nature. The silver arrows that almost hit the throat and between the eyebrows a few times made him finally realize that the enemy on the opposite side was very powerful, at least not inferior to him in long-range combat.
Qin Lun's silver-white dial on his right eye and the Yin-Yang fish pattern on his left eye have emerged at the same time. In fact, he is still at a disadvantage in terms of hunting and fighting methods. Because he didn't rely on the help of the two pupil skills, he couldn't be the first to spot the opponent just now, and he had to rely on the time-space stagnation effect of the eye of the clock to dodge the silver arrow.
In other words, his ability to dodge is not as good as that of the opponent, or in other words, he does not have the predictive ability of the opponent to avoid danger naturally.
A little silver light gradually enlarged in Qin Lun's eyes. Under the effect of the clock's eye skill, the speed of the silver arrow was slowed down, and the magic glyphs coated with a layer of mithril were clearly discernible.
"Hmph!" Now that he knew that he couldn't beat the opponent in hunting, Qin Lun didn't plan to pester him any longer. He took a deep breath, stood up from the bushes, and slowly drew the longbow of the World Tree.
Of course, this kind of slow motion under the effect of the eye of the clock, when put back in the real world, seems extremely fast.
There was a flash of light in Qin Lun's eyes, he took out a black arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the longbow, and shot it towards the silver light. The black arrows and silver arrows crossed each other with a slight difference.
Qin Lun tilted his head slightly, the silver light almost brushed his cheeks, a few strands of silver hair from the young man's ear temples fell down, and the sharp wind of the arrow made his skin ache.
The hunter on the opposite side didn't seem to have expected that Qin Lun would dodge the silver arrow in such a dangerous way, and his movements froze for a while, and he didn't continue to shoot again.
However, it reacted quickly, and an iron bridge fell to the sky.
"Duh..." The black arrow shot by Qin Lun made a soft sound, and a small round hole appeared in the trunk of the banyan tree where the hunter was hiding. Perhaps it was because Qin Lun didn't shoot while running this time, this black arrow contained sufficient power, almost ignoring obstacles, and passed over its belly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the first time, Qin Lun's eyes brightened, black arrows were drawn out of the quiver like flowing water and put on the longbow, almost forming a whip, and shot at the opponent continuously.
The most important thing is that Qin Lun is still slowly approaching the opponent, and under the boost of the eye of the clock, he is completely unafraid of the silver arrow shot by the opponent, and only uses the smallest body swing to avoid the silver light.
"Oops!" As an experienced ranger, the opponent had already realized that the situation was taking a turn for the worse. He suddenly dropped the longbow in his hand, drew out a pair of sharp scimitars from his waist, and rushed towards Qin Lun with the alternate cover of the banyan trees in the forest. .
Qin Lun's fighting style is called "bukkake", that is, face to face.
When two high-level rangers or hunters feel that they cannot decide the outcome by hunting, they will adopt this duel mode. No longer relying on cover, only use the smallest body swing to avoid the opponent's arrows, and then slowly approach the opponent to decide life and death in the shortest time.
It's just that "bukkake" combat is extremely dangerous, even a legendary ranger may be shot to death by an arrow in this duel. The enemy Qin Lun was facing at this time, for some reason, seemed unwilling to start a "bukkake" duel with him.
Of course, although Qin Lun has received the ancient inheritance of the elf hunter, he has not really mastered this skill. Most of his "bukkake" depends on the assistance of the eye of the clock.
It's just that the thrilling arrow battle tonight seems to have completely inspired the memory of the ancient elf hunters. Finally, under this kind of stimulation, Qin Lun slowly grasped the archery skills of the ancient elf hunter, and pieces of starry sky information quietly appeared in the prompt bar of the death list.
"Melee?" Watching the opponent approaching gradually, Qin Lun's focused eyes finally came to his senses. The consciousness that had been trapped in the inheritance memory just now receded like a tide, which made him lick his dry lips in annoyance.
Two snow-like sword lights slashed at his head, but a smile appeared on Qin Lun's face. His melee martial skills are indeed weak, but his opponent is not the kind of fighter who is proficient in martial arts, and through the arrow battle just now, he already knows the biggest weakness of the opponent in front of him.
Qin Lun raised the World Tree longbow and slashed directly against the light of the knife. His World Tree longbow was very different from the original one. There were also metal feathers that had been disintegrated by the Wind Chaser Frost attached to the body of the bow. Not afraid of being cut off by a machete.
"Dang!" With a crisp sound, the opponent staggered immediately. Although he struck first, he was directly forced back by Qin Lun's huge strength. Its weakness is obvious, that is, lack of strength. Qin Lun's explosive power of breaking a hundred attributes is enough to crush this kind of ranger who mainly attacks from a distance.
"I hope you can continue to surprise me!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed a trace of coldness. The World Tree longbow took advantage of the opponent's loss of balance and slashed forward fiercely. The metal feathers on the bow shone in the moonlight. .
