Not only the dog eggs hiding in the canopy high above, but even Edward, who was still some distance away from the scene of the slave catchers, noticed something was wrong...
Although as mages, warriors and clergymen, their perception is not as high as that of dogs, but to be honest, seeing a group of yellow "forest elves, level 32" floating around in the jungle, Even the most simple-minded Joe realized what was going on.
The forest elves have discovered the slave catcher and decided to get rid of it in one go.
Encountering this situation, Edward couldn't help but feel a little bit pained.
Naturally, he didn't want to join forces with the slave hunting team, but at this time, as long as his group showed up or were discovered by the elves, they would be immediately judged as the hidden people of the slave hunting team and treated as enemies.
But leaving is a bit difficult. After all, they don't have the heart of emeralds, and they can't hide their bodies in the forest like dog eggs. Once they move, they are likely to be discovered by the forest elves.
Originally, Goudan thought that the long-lived species of forest elves must be as slow as tortoises, but in fact the opponent's actions were very fast. Almost after completely surrounding the slave catchers, the elves hid in the bushes, A hail of arrows was fired from every direction at the slave-catchers still assembled by the campfire,
Immediately, more than half of the members of the slave hunting team were caught off guard and shot directly, turning into sieves.
Some other members of the slave hunting team seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. Although they looked very panicked, they still used the corpse and the log that was sitting just now as cover to avoid the bow and arrow of the forest elves.
Goudan was still amazed at the archery skills of those forest elves, but found that Edward had posted himself in the post just now.
Edward: Damn, the situation is wrong. The members of the slave catchers did not fight back or run away after being attacked, but stayed put. The reaction is too strange!
Edward: If I'm not wrong, they should be just bait, the purpose is to contain the main force of the elves here
Edward: Hurry up and search the surroundings to see what kind of conspiracy those guys are up to
"Is Edward too sensitive?"
Goudan couldn't help but say that there are so many conspiracies and tricks in this world, it's probably just a group of inexperienced foolish and bold people who want to reach the sky one step at a time.
"After all, not everyone in this world is self-aware."
Although he thought so, Edward's words still carried a lot of weight in his heart.
As a result, Goudan received a task from the system before he left.
Ding, trigger the side quest - The Elf's Treasure i
Mission description: You accidentally witnessed the scene of the forest elves heroically repelling the slave catchers who invaded your territory. While you were still admiring the heroic appearance of the forest elves, the wise god of games has seen through all this. The targets of these slave catchers are not adult forest elves, they are just bait to attract the forest elf guards, and someone else actually executes the plan!
Task content: Please investigate the conspiracy of the slave hunting team as soon as possible
Completion reward: open the quest chain 'Elf's Treasure II', get some experience points, some game coins, and equipment - breath of nature (ring, rare level)
Remarks: Try not to be discovered by the forest elves until the investigation is clear
Goudan: "..."
Is love really tricky? !
Since it is a task entrusted by the God of Games, naturally it cannot be ignored. After all, as one of Xi Wei's earliest believers, Goudan's beliefs are quite firm.
And after it became clear that those guys were really just bait, Goudan also discovered some details that he hadn't noticed just now.
For example, as a slave hunting team that needs to act in secret, these guys not only talked loudly in the forest, but even stated their purpose of coming to the Great Forest Sea of Trinia, and even set up a bonfire in the forest, without knowing what was inside the bonfire What was added, the taste seemed to be more pungent than ordinary bonfires.
When you are not aware of all this, you really can’t see anything, but once you pay attention, you will find these clues, just like the members of the slave hunting team are afraid that the forest elves will not find themselves...
Thinking of this, Goudan also immediately started to go to other places to find clues related to the mission.
It's a pity that because there is no automatic wayfinding, and the mission location is not marked on the map, Goudan couldn't find what he wanted after searching around.
This made him feel very distressed.
"Since the name of the quest is the treasure of the elves, could it be that those guys' goal is a certain treasure that the elves have collected over the long years? In this way, is it possible that I have to go to the habitat of the elves to complete this quest? "
Edward: Hurry up, Goudan, those elves are about to clean up the bait of the slave catcher team. Once the enemy is completely wiped out, we who are hiding here are likely to be discovered!
Edward: Although I don't mind fighting the elves to see how strong they are, it would be disgusting if it delays the slave catchers.
"Even if you say that, I don't know what to do..." Goudan muttered distressedly.
Only at this time, Goudan will be deeply aware of the gap between himself and Edward. That guy is obviously a magician, but he is better at sneaking than himself, a jungle walker...
At this time, Goudan, who was already far away from the battlefield, just watched the forum move unconsciously, but heard a slight sound.
It wasn't the sound of wild animals moving, nor the sound of monsters, but more like the movement caused by humans running.
Because the actions of the forest elves will not cause such a big movement, just like just now, if it weren't for the words on their heads, Edward and the others would have no way of noticing the existence of the forest elves.
"Could it be that some slave catcher escaped here?" Goudan paused for a moment, then decided to rush towards the direction where the voice came from.
If it is a fish that slipped through the net, it will be eliminated. Anyway, the slave hunting team is not a good person, and it has been a famous monster from the beginning.
It would be even better if it wasn't, maybe that's the goal of this mission.
After changing his career as a jungle walker, Goudan found that his actions in the forest became easier and more sensitive, and even the speed of shuttling through the trees was more than twice as fast as before!
After activating the Emerald Heart, the ability of this almost passive skill will further increase, which makes him feel that he has not changed his job by mistake.
After a while, he easily arrived at the place where the voice came from, and in the next moment, he was sure that his favor had come.
