Rody was frowning at this moment, thinking about the source of the "beast tide".
The monsters that can cause the phenomenon of beast swarms in memory are all extremely powerful existences. It can envelop the coercion within hundreds of square kilometers, and can also expel beasts of the bone armor giant elephant level to run away. Obviously, the level of this monster is at least higher than the advanced level 3, and it has condensed a "magic crystal".
The body structure of a monster is similar to that of a wild beast at a low level, but when its strength rises to a certain level, it will have something like a "magic crystal" in its head—once the "magic crystal" is condensed, its strength will undergo an earth-shaking change compared to before. If you describe it, it is probably the difference between a "small pistol" and a "cannon".
Rody can't afford to provoke a guy of this level now, so he just wants to roughly confirm where the guy of this level is, so that he can avoid it when he goes back to do the task—but after thinking hard for a long time, he finally found... None of the H6s in Jingyu Forest met the standard.
Worrying about this in his heart, Rody flipped back and forth on the instruction record of saving Elsa Village (completed) in the [task bar], but he couldn't get any useful clues from it. He was thinking about whether to go to Brody now. Talk, but heard a small voice from behind—
"Ro...Roddy."
"kindness?"
I felt the voice was familiar in my heart, and when I turned around, the originally calm Rody seemed to be frightened all of a sudden, his eyebrows were raised high, and his eyes were fixed on the wood elf with a slightly unnatural expression in front of him. The original thoughts were disrupted in an instant...
"Director Nata—I mean...uh, what's the matter?"
Although Nata's appearance is younger than in the impression, and her figure is also a little bit shorter, her iceberg expression has never changed. The word "mentor" almost blurted out, and Luo Di couldn't help touching it after saying this Nose, I thought that this little girl in front of me is much weaker than me now, the name "Tutor" is really a misnomer.
Nata was obviously not good at talking, so she just raised her hand and held all the arrows that Rody had used to kill the beast, as if she was going to return them to him...
This seemed like a very simple act, but the meaning behind it made Rody narrow his eyes slightly—he reached out to take it, and said calmly, "Thank you."
Lowering his head and sorting out the arrows, Rody asked casually, "Is there anything else?"
Nata blinked her eyes. There was an idea in her head, but she didn't know how to express it for a while, so she opened her mouth slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said: "You... are amazing."
Rody looked up at the wood elf who taught him archery in the past, raised his hand and put the arrow into the quiver, but nodded seriously: "Well, I know that."
Nata choked on these words, her eyes widened, as if she never thought that Roddy would give such an answer, and she didn't know how to continue talking for a while.
Looking at her bewildered look, Rody laughed in his heart long ago—he was scorned by Nata for a few years, and his memory is full of scenes of being ridiculed by her sarcastic remarks, and now he has traveled back and forth. , How can I not "revenge" this mentor
Back then, I was beaten to death by you. My personality was distorted by you.
Looking at Nata's slightly astonished face, Rody smiled secretly, recalling Nata's "cruel and inhuman" abuse of him back then...
The tasks of "Ranger" are different from other professions. Most of them must be completed independently, so the operation requirements are usually extremely high. Therefore, in the eyes of players, they like to call the ranger mission "Contra", which means that the difficulty of this kind of mission has reached the point where it will die if it is touched by a monster.
Back then, Rody had been tortured thousands of times by the missions issued by Nata, and the road of "running the corpse" could almost catch up with the 25,000-mile long march—but every time Nata came back to hand in the mission after hard work, Nata kept going. There is not even a word of encouragement, and even worse, releasing a few more difficult...
Although I secretly scolded the "Old Maid" ten thousand times in my heart when I accepted and completed the task, now that Luo Di thinks about it, if she hadn't been tempered like this back then, I'm afraid she really wouldn't be able to survive now.
With this in mind, Luo Di softened his attitude towards the elf girl who had just left the "lolita" stage, and said with a slight smile, "Hey, I'm not joking, what do you want to say?"
Nata took a breath, and as if she had finally made a decision, she finally said bluntly, "I want to learn archery with you."
This time it was Rody's turn to be dumbfounded. His eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times in a row, thinking that you might as well learn how to cook with me... You taught me all your archery skills, follow me... learn your own archery skills
What is this called
The two stared at each other, Nata's delicate and picturesque face was still expressionless, but her delicate little fists were slightly clenched, obviously caring about Rody's answer.
But Luo Di, who took the initiative, gradually calmed down. In his eyes, Nata's final level can only be said to be "upper middle" - but the reason why her achievements are not high is entirely because she has never met a higher level. The goal... because her later level has always been called "the strongest hunter in Elsa Village".
Without a goal, there is no motivation, and living in the closed forest all the time makes her vision narrow, and she cannot see the breadth and splendor of this world, so after reaching the goal, she has no motivation at all... Her strength has not changed much.
In terms of talent, Nata is definitely qualified or even surpassed most people
It's just... the former tutor now wants to be his student in turn—Rhody swallowed, not knowing how to describe such a coincidence.
But thinking of the current wood elf village, advanced professional tasks, and possible battles in two years, he finally gritted his teeth and gave Nata the right to choose:
"Want to learn? Yes, but I will not stay in Elsa Village, and the people I deal with every day will not be wood elves, but humans, and maybe orcs and undead."
He picked up the ice crystal thorn, turned around and walked towards the tree hole of the village head of Brody, "That's all I said, you can do it yourself."
Looking at Roddy's back, Nata showed a confused and helpless expression for the first time. She stood there blankly, not moving for a long time.
"Clean up the field"
Captain Kevin's command voice was very clear in the wilderness, which made the tired and almost desperate mercenaries suddenly recover from the shock.
Although these muddy and blood-stained mercenaries were in a state of distress at this time, they couldn't hide a look of excitement and admiration in their expressions—right in front of the entire camp, those horses, trenches, and traps had already been surrounded by countless animals. Covered by corpses, it looked similar to the scene in Elsa Village at first glance, but what excited these mercenaries most was the three huge corpses in front of the camp...
The three bone armor giant elephants all died in the hands of Kevin.
Before this, many mercenaries had never seen the captain make a move, and they had some doubts about Kevin's strength. However, after this incident, Kevin's prestige in the group instantly reached an unprecedented peak
Because he killed the three giant elephants with only one sword.
After the shocking sword strike, the so-called beast tide became a joke in front of Kevin.
"After taking care of all these things in one day, we have already understood the mission objectives, and the next step is to act according to the plan."
After arranging the next task for the deputy head, Kevin stretched his waist, casually touched it as if he had just killed three wild dogs, and then muttered: "By the way, send someone to look at that Did the group of elves die... I really didn't expect the group of beasts to be so big, Bishop Jakkad really has a lot of schemes."
He turned his head and looked at the forest in the distance, which had gradually darkened with the arrival of evening, but he also had doubts in his heart: "He is guarding a ruin... Could it be that there is some treasure inside? Sakya, the Snake King, is well-deserved of his reputation."
Kevin touched the scroll that he always carried with him in his pocket, and the inexplicable fear in his heart disappeared, and his face returned to his usual calm.
"But... so what?"
At the same moment, Akasha crawled out of the animal den where she was hiding in a disheveled manner.
She was covered in mud, and there was a big gash on her arm. The blood soaked half of her sleeves, but her skin had already returned to normal under the effect of the healing technique. And after she climbed out, she didn't care about the dirty mud marks on her cheeks, and ran to the side frantically...
After walking a few tens of meters, Akasha finally stopped, and the original expectation on her face turned into despair in an instant.
Looking at everything in front of her eyes, she squatted down on the ground, covered her mouth and began to vomit, but wanted to vomit...but couldn't vomit...
On the ground was a pool of unidentifiable pieces of meat, some broken pieces of cloth and scattered weapons, proving that its original owner was the mercenary who reminded Akasha to escape.
"Why is this..."
Akasha stared blankly at everything in front of her, her body trembling slightly. An indescribably great sense of fear enveloped her...
For the wood elves, "Wall of Thorns" and Roddy kept their lives.
As far as the "Blood Shield Mercenary Group" is concerned, the well-prepared refusal horses, traps, and the powerful head Kevin are not afraid of the "beast tide" attack.
But for Akasha and the "Iron Horse Mercenary Group", this has completely become a disaster
When the herd of beasts arrived, Akasha was overtaken by the beast tide before she had time to run far. If she hadn't been extremely lucky to find a deep beast den and slip in, I'm afraid her fate at this time would be the same as that of the trampled beast. There is no difference between mercenaries who have become fleshy...
As for the six mercenaries who went out before, Akasha, who had waited for a long time and hadn't seen each other, no longer had too much expectations.
She is very clear: Although she was lucky to save her life, it does not mean that she can walk out of the Silent Whispering Forest alive... because she has no experience in living in the jungle, and she can't even tell the north from the south.
Akasha, who was almost in despair, was in a daze for a few minutes, but finally did not cry out. She tried her best to take a deep breath, stood up firmly, and only had the simple idea of "walking out of the forest" in her head.
With such a goal in mind, she prepared to return to the camp to find the food that might be left, but after dark, the surrounding scenery was completely unrecognizable. After walking for a long time without a sense of direction, Akasha finally found the surrounding area. The scenery has become completely unfamiliar...
She is lost.
