Chapter 163: A stunning blow (middle)

Views:

If anyone among these wood elves did not despise Rody, except for Nata, only Hugo remained.

At this time, both of them looked at Roddy—Nata's eyes showed some fiery enthusiasm, and even had undisguised expectations; while Hugo's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and when his eyes met Rody's, , I just felt that the clothes on the back were sticking to my body.

Seeing Nata's reaction, Lando frowned, followed her gaze to see Rody, and immediately snorted disdainfully. He only felt that Nata was really boring, and he would care about such an ignorant human being. .

But when the birds flew across the sky and the herds of beasts rushed to them, they didn't have any leisure to think about others.

"Ready to fight"

Brody's unusually loud voice sounded, and he himself stood on a higher platform in front of the village entrance, slightly raising the wooden stick in his hand, and beside him were seven or eight of the most powerful hunters in the village—at this moment, the village seemed a bit chaotic , the women and children who did not take part in the battle are trying to carry the arrows, but most of them can only prepare to escape...

It's just that these remaining wood elves are not as nimble and agile as experienced hunters. It can even be said that they are no different from helpless human farmers—the hollowed out tree can't withstand any strong impact. Once the beast swarms into the village, Hiding in the tree hole is completely waiting to die, and at this time because of the existence of the wall of thorns, the wood elves have nowhere to go

The sudden disaster brought the unprepared village into a desperate situation.

The muffled sound of trees being smashed in the distance continued... After the density of the herd was too high, many beasts with low physical strength were unavoidable. , but really advancing all the way, ordinary trees can't stop it at all

The mighty beast tide is approaching. First, it approached a distance of 100 meters like the front of a rolling black wave, and then swept across the entire surrounding of Elsa Village in the blink of an eye—

The first batch of animals that hit the village were not so large beasts, but tens of thousands of rodents

At this moment, Elsa Village, protected by the "Wall of Thorns", was like a reef resisting the waves—the steel-hard thorns made the small creatures in the front of the beast tide collectively bypass the two sides, and hundreds of wood elves all held short bow, but no one shoots an arrow. They watched the small creatures on the ground rushing past both sides, and they felt a creepy feeling in their hearts...

How much does this have to be

Rats, rabbits, hedgehogs, snakes... mixed with all kinds of invisible and innumerable creatures, at first they were able to run away from both sides of the "Wall of Thorns", but when the density of the animal swarm gradually increased, those among them Those who had no time to turn could only crash to death on the wall of thorns because they had nowhere to go

There was a neighing sound, and the thornbush in front of the village was immediately covered with broken corpses.

The smell of blood came up mixed with the mud, but the standing wood elves with their bows raised did not move at all, frowning and looking forward.

When a group of wild boars rushed towards Elsa Village like crazy, Brody, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his wooden staff and shouted loudly: "Raise the bow!"

Ninety-eight wood elf hunters pointed their arrows forward at the same time.

Amidst the huge noise and smoke, groups of wild boars, badgers, and wild wolves rushed towards the village unstoppably, rampaging without knowing the direction at all...

"put"

Amid Brody's shouts, the wood elves finally made their move.

Nearly a hundred arrows suddenly soared up and landed on the ground 100 meters in front of the village with a graceful parabola, causing a lot of screams in an instant.

The archery skills of the wood elves are not comparable to that of ordinary humans - the arrows falling from a distance basically hit the target, and the dozen or so wild boars running towards the village instantly turned into a bunch of hedgehogs

Accurate strikes at 100 meters, this is the cost of wood elves' survival in the forest.

Under such a powerful attack, the beast tide instantly appeared neutral, as if the massive impact had been cut off. However, as the tide of beasts continued to surge, those shot corpses were trampled into meat paste by other creatures rushing from behind almost in the blink of an eye...

"Free fire stops all animals that storm the village"

The village chief Brody held the wooden staff tightly, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the three wild boars were entangled in place by the vines that suddenly grew from the ground—without any other spells, the wild boars were knocked to the ground by the animals behind, and then stepped into the dirt...

The humming of the bowstring passing through the air resounded throughout Elsa Village, and the arrows slanted forward one after another. At first, they had to aim, but as time went by, the elves found that they only needed to shoot arrows forward casually.

There are too many. The front view of Elsa Village has been completely swallowed up by all kinds of beasts.

"sip, sip, sip"

This is the sound of animals hitting the thorn bushes. The thick wall of thorns gave the elves a great sense of security, and even made them gradually relax—because those wild boars couldn't do anything to the shield at all. threaten.

As time went by, the previously tense atmosphere seemed to gradually relax. Compared with them, Rody has no sense of existence at all: because he never made a move from the beginning to the end, he just held a short bow and frowned and looked forward, his eyes flickering, thinking about something.

Three minutes after the impact of the beast tide, the overall strength has begun to weaken, and the elves cheered, naively thinking that everything is over...

But the worry in Luo Di's heart at this time was heavier than ever.

He is very clear that the beast tide will definitely not be just such a short wave, and there will definitely be creatures with higher levels and stronger powers in the future - but this is not the point, the point is: the geographical location of Elsa Village determines the location The number of encounter herds will be larger than elsewhere

Due to the activities of the wood elves, some nearby trees have been cut down, but this just happened to cause a subtle change in the direction of the beast tide. When the beast tide creatures are small in size, they can't be seen, but if they come " "Big guys", they will involuntarily gather towards Elsa Village due to the changes in the terrain and the trees... At that time, the pressure here will be absolutely unimaginable

Rody knew all about the large creatures in the Silent Whispering Forest. After a little thought, he immediately made a decision. He clamped the [Ice Crystal Thorn] with his arm, bent down and began to rummage through his luggage. And the way he pouts his buttocks and bends down is so funny that several elves who turned their heads to look at him couldn't help pointing.

The first wave of beasts gradually weakened, and the pressure on the wood elves was greatly reduced. At this time, each of them was no longer as tense as they were at the beginning. And Lando, who easily dealt with seven wild boars and a wild wolf, even joked with Nata next to him: "Heh, it usually takes a lot of effort to find these prey, but now it's like shooting a target. I'm afraid the whole village will be killed this winter." There will be no shortage of meat."

Nata shot an arrow, glanced at Lando, but did not respond.

Lando felt that he had put on a show in front of Nata today, and he was in a much better mood because of Rody's appearance. Turning his head, he happened to see Rody's funny face, and couldn't help laughing. He said: "Hey, this human being is really interesting."

Hearing this, Nata immediately turned her head away, but there was no sneer in her eyes... She knew how terrifying Roddy's ability was, so she never had the thought of seeing him laugh at her. The only thing she had was, Some unspeakable expectations.

But at this moment, she was also vaguely curious: what exactly does Rody want

It didn't take long for Nata to see that he found some arrows from his luggage—compared with those in the quiver, the arrows that Rody held in his hands seemed to be thicker, and the appearance was a bit strange. pattern.

"Is this guy a fool? Don't you know that you can't change arrows just before the battle?"

Lando looked at Rody, and the ridicule in his tone was undisguised... But what he said was correct, "Arrows" need consistency, the smaller the error in the hardness, winding, length, weight, and center of gravity of all arrows, The more it is conducive to the stable performance of the archer, no archer would like to have different arrows in his quiver.

Some wood elves also noticed Rody's actions, and naturally gave a similar evaluation to Lando's. Obviously, Rody has completely become the endorsement of "rookie" and "idiot" in their eyes.

But this kind of free time is only fleeting. When the gradually thinning beast tide in front of them heard a deeper muffled sound, the brows of the wood elves frowned again...

Elk bigger than war horses, cumbersome brown bears, steel-tailed leopards and even two-horned rhinoceros suddenly broke through the sand and dust raised by those beasts before, dozens of them headed straight towards Elsa Village

"Don't waste your arrows and shoot all the beasts that come towards the village, don't bother with those on either side"

Brody's face changed drastically, and he continued to cast spells with the wooden stick in his hand, but the beast in front of him was extremely heavy, and its speed was terrifying, and the vines that could restrain the wild boar just now were completely useless, at most it only slowed down the elk's forehead a little. Slow down.

However, there was more than one bad news: when the wood elves raised their eyes and looked forward, they found that the group of giant beasts had gathered slightly because of the terrain and the orientation of the woods. As Rody expected, most of them rushed towards the village come over

The elves had no other choice at this time... Their faces were tense, and they frantically poured arrows at these beasts, and the blow like a torrential rain was even stronger than before.

Although the brown bear has rough skin and thick flesh, it couldn't stand it and was hit by more than a dozen arrows in the head, and finally fell to the ground wailing; but the huge elk was not affected at all because of the shield-like fan-shaped antlers on its head, and it bore the dense arrows. , broke through the "warning line" of 50 meters, and inevitably crashed into a thornbush

"Crunch—"

The thornbush suffered an unprecedented impact, but it did not collapse under Brody's hard support—his face was covered with sweat, his wooden staff almost turned pure green, and the senior hunters beside him shot like lightning, The elk was shot down at close range, but just as they fell, the two-horned rhinoceros following behind was no longer able to stop the elves, and hit the front of the "Wall of Thorns"

"boom"

The thicket of thorns, which was as hard as iron, sank directly, and the originally protruding arc was almost directly destroyed by the rhino that had nowhere to go.

Brody took a staggered step and almost fell directly off the platform. But then he slammed the wooden staff hard, and tried his best to restore the wall of thorns that protected the elves...

The impact of the rhinoceros was so powerful that the vibration even made the nearby trees shake. The two elves couldn't stand still and fell, and one fell out of the thornbush, and was submerged by the roaring beast tide in an instant...

Brody, with a face almost purple, shouted: "Kill the rhino or it will overwhelm the defense line"

As soon as the words fell, the rhinoceros fell to the ground with a "bang dang"—an arrow pierced through its head, shot through its left ear, and its right chin pierced through, directly destroying its brain, killing it on the spot.

The elves immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but no one knew who shot the arrow, because a rare herd of deer appeared in front of the village, and they didn't even have time to search for the instigator of the arrow.

The "Wall of Thorns" has been seriously worn out, but the crisis did not give them any rest time - when the deer left behind a large number of corpses, the sound of footsteps from a distance made nearly a hundred elves turn pale instantly.

The third wave of beasts is headed by a giant bone armored elephant, who just happens to be heading straight for here.

The giant bone armor elephant with a height of four meters has always been an existence that the elves never dare to provoke, because no wood elf has ever been able to break through the abnormal bone armor defense on the surface of its body.

And to make matters worse, half of the wood elves, who have hardly stopped shooting from the beginning to now, can't even draw their bows after such physical exertion.

Brody's eyes widened in despair, but he also understood that the "Wall of Thorns" had no effect on the Bone Armored Giant Elephant, and the destruction of Elsa Village by the tide of beasts was inevitable...

He pulled his beard fiercely, feeling extremely painful in his heart, but he could only turn his head and shout to the women and children in the village who had no fighting strength: "Get out of here and hide in a tree far away!"

This is the last way to save the wood elves' lives now.

Amid Brody's desperate cries, the wood elves finally realized that nothing could be done, they all gave up their resistance, turned around and climbed up the trees on both sides - but although they retreated resolutely, the spirit of each elf The dissatisfaction on his face could not be concealed at all...

No one is willing to give up their homeland, and no one is willing to see their homeland destroyed in front of their own eyes

In their hearts, they wanted to go back and continue fighting to protect the village, but they all knew that the giant bone armored elephant in front of them could not be defeated at all.

However, at this moment, a sudden flash of blue light caused these wood elves who were gritting their teeth to retreat to turn around...

In the field of vision, the human who was ridiculed and despised by them raised the short bow in his hand, and a blue magic pattern flashed on the left hand holding the bow. Raising his right hand, he quietly placed a long arrow covered with patterns on the arrow rest, and pointed it far ahead...

The wood elves were completely stunned: Is this human being so difficult that he wants to attack the Bone Armored Elephant
