"I don't know how Doug is doing now..." Jessica said with some concern.
"Instead of caring about him, you might as well care about our own situation."
Edward said with some helplessness.
Jessica showed a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Edward couldn't help but sighed: "We have been discovered by those forest elves."
When he said this, Jessica suddenly realized that those yellow texts that were still floating around just now had become an encircling circle at some point, enclosing them.
"Do you want to fight?" Joe said eagerly.
As the top players among the players, the average level of Edward's team is above level 45, approaching the level 50 mark. In terms of human strength, almost all of them can be regarded as extraordinary.
Moreover, unlike some casual players who often rely on brushing dungeons and doing brick-moving tasks to upgrade, Edward and the others have participated in almost all dungeon land reclamation, and the current two explorations of the 'Valley of the Dead' and the 'Grey Fjord Inner Sea' More than half of the exploration speed was completed by them first.
It can be said that it is a team with extremely rich combat experience.
Even considering the existence of Alina, a candidate saint, even if they are the strongest team among the current players, there is probably no controversy.
After all, Princess Leia, the only princess with a hidden job, is often arrested by Vanke elders to learn etiquette and so on, so her upgrade speed is not as fast as that of Elina, and the job of 'Princess of War' itself is more inclined to large-scale team battles Yes, the personal strength is naturally not as good as the alternate saintess.
So even though they found themselves surrounded by forest elves, Edward and the others didn't panic too much.
"In order to prevent unnecessary enemies from being provoked, let's try to negotiate first." Edward said.
"When you met that team of neutral kobolds on the way to Trinia's Great Forest, you never said something like 'prevent unnecessary enemies'..." Joe complained.
"You know what a fart. Those who are marked in the task to be careful not to become hostile are 'unnecessary enemies', otherwise they are experience points, can this be the same!" Edward retorted plausibly.
Joe said that what you said was so reasonable, I was speechless.
By the way, the task Xi Wei gave them was similar to Goudan's. It was also to investigate the current situation of the forest elves in Trinia Dalin Sea. Although there was no explicit prohibition on becoming hostile with the forest elves, it also vaguely mentioned one point . According to Edward's understanding of the mission, this kind of ambiguous wording shows that the God of Games has not yet determined whether those guys are enemies or friends, and is in a reserved state.
But this doesn't mean unconditional tolerance to the enemy. If the opponent strikes first, it's okay to fight back for self-protection. After all, Xi Wei didn't like his followers to be the licking dogs of other races or organizations.
Jessica silently added a mana shield to her little friends to prevent those elves from doing what they did to the slave catchers.
In fact, Elena, the strongest in the group, pretended to be an ordinary weak little girl, hiding among the three of them and eating a lollipop expressionlessly.
"I am an adventurer from Anurad (the name of the place where the nameless town is located), not an accomplice of the slave hunting team you just discovered!"
Edward spread his hands, put them on both sides of his head, stood up slowly, and said loudly, "I just happened to pass by here!"
In the end, the answer to him was an arrow that went straight to his forehead.
The wooden arrow hit the spell shield that Jessica cast in advance and shattered into wood slag.
Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little dangerous: "We have no intention of fighting you, and please take back some hostility. You can talk about whatever you have, and don't attack and provoke all kinds of rudeness as soon as you come up. Otherwise Otherwise, we will launch an attack on you for the purpose of self-protection, for the sake of your own safety, hurry up... "
As a result, before he finished speaking, the vibrato of bowstrings sounded all around, and then dense arrows flew out from the surrounding bushes, covering everyone from top to bottom!
With a crackling sound, those arrows still couldn't pass through the mana shield set by Jessica, but judging from the value of the shield that only the player can see, its durability has also dropped to a very dangerous level. the point.
"It seems that there is no possibility of peaceful negotiations for the time being. Everyone is ready to fight, try not to kill people, beat them all down and talk about it."
Edward sighed helplessly, and said to his teammates.
"Decree!" Joe grinned and said, "I'm already full of anger!"
In the arrow rain just now, he was shot at the kidneys and the vital parts of the lower body by the enemy's arrows several times in a row. Even though he knew that the arrows would be blocked by Jessica's spell shield, it still made him aggrieved to be able to participate in the siege. The forest elves of the slave-hunting team are all adult elves, and the adult elves are all sharpshooters in the forest. It is impossible for them to shoot at a stationary target and miss the target. That is to say, those elves did it on purpose!
Because most of the forest elves know that the greatest use of human slave hunters to capture forest elves is to serve as slaves to human nobles, so it is normal to maliciously attack those parts.
But this couldn't dispel Joe's anger. He squeezed his fingers and made a crackling sound.
"Let me beat them up!"
Celent Frostleaf almost laughed out loud when she heard those human cubs' words.
Beat them up? What a joke, even those bishops with eyes above the top of the human race dare not say such a thing!
And the human cub who pretended to be mature and said that he wanted to negotiate with them just now was also very funny.
A few human cubs in their teens said that they were not brought by the slave catchers to Trinia, but passed by by themselves... Who would believe such an outrageous statement? Not only that, it's fine if you don't beg for mercy, but you are still speaking so hard, even threatening, this guy doesn't understand the current situation at all, right
After all, where did these children get the confidence to dare to say such things to the forest elves? Is it because you are young and ignorant
Just let me teach you a lesson you will never forget...if you have the rest of your life.
Celent leaned forward slightly, drew the bowstring, and was about to shoot the opponent with an arrow, but found that a fist that was getting bigger and bigger appeared in front of him...
