Chapter 397 Encounter
His cries for help came to an abrupt end, and just as everyone was in shock, the elf's scream rang out from above everyone's heads, and then a figure appeared from the fog and fell to the ground quickly, leaving everyone too late to recover.
"Damn!" Mistre scolded secretly, her muscles tensing to step out of her hiding place, but Qin Lian's hand on her shoulder still made her submit to reason.
"It's not time yet. Qin Wei shook his head slightly, even if he was a little unbearable.
The elves who fell to the ground were surrounded by the rangers, they covered each other in a circle, and the spare manpower was used to save people, and the pioneer still had a breath left, and if he was cured in time, he would not have to worry about his life.
But they all knew that there was another pair of hungry eyes staring at them in the shadows.
"That flying reptile! it's like this every time!" Mister scolded fiercely beside Qin Ling, "Every time it cripples a clansman first, slowing down the whole team, and making us unable to advance or retreat!"
The disability is even more of a blow to the morale and logistics of the team, and he is really a cunning guy! Qin Wei has a deep understanding of this vampire again, but he also has a countermeasure.
"Let your people withdraw first, and then the injured one pretended to be left behind. ”
"How's that going to work!"
"Pretend, I mean, pretend! You and I stay and wait for that guy to show up, and he won't give up the prey that was sent to his mouth, right?"
“!! As the captain of the ranger, Mist instantly understood Qin Lao's intentions, if their mud was not wiped in vain, then the vampire would definitely think that they had all run away and come down to "enjoy" the food with peace of mind, and that was when it was at its most vulnerable.
"I hope your solution works!" Mister said in a low voice, then whistled a few long and gentle whistles.
Although the rangers who received the order were puzzled and could not bear to abandon their people, they obeyed Mister's instructions to "run" the way they came, and soon the woodland became quiet, leaving the wounded elf lying on the ground and groaning.
And Qin Wei and Mister also took advantage of the chaotic movement of the rangers to escape, and quietly crawled closer to the position of the injured, and also replenished the soil on their bodies by the way.
A silent wait followed, and then the two of them suppressed the urge to rush out over and over again amid the cries of pain from the rangers.
Qin Wei could see that Mistre was suffering now, although she was lying on the ground motionless, her bow and arrow were already pressed in front of her and ready to fire, and her eyes were staring intently at every move around the injured.
This kind of order to give up her clan may have been the first time she had given it, but she did it anyway, Qin Wei kind of understood why Queen Brenda would arrange for her to be by her side, Mister was indeed a reliable elf, even stronger than some elders.
But as the minutes passed, the voice of the wounded elf became weaker and weaker, and the vampire's figure was not visible, although the absence of Mister and Qin Wei seemed to prove that the mud covered body was effective, but she couldn't wait, she couldn't watch her people die in front of her eyes.
Elves have a long lifespan, but their fertility is low, and it is impossible for different races to reproduce, so the population of elves has been growing negatively, and every life is precious.
And just as she was about to leave, a shadowy figure walked out of the quiet fog.
Vice-captain?
The shape-faced Mister and Qin Rank were all too familiar, but it was clear that Mister had ordered the rest of the people to leave not long ago, why did the deputy captain return alone? The Misty Rangers were all well-trained warriors, they were like brothers, but they would definitely not abandon the order, and they knew that Mister and Qin Rank had stayed where they were, so this vice captain was definitely not normal!
Are the vampires magically transformed? They are good at disguising themselves and can easily blend in with the crowd and cause chaos, which is why the elves have been reluctant to send out large groups of men to surround it, because it is likely to make it a threat to the queen as it returns to the twilight glades with its people.
But the vampire was so powerful that the rangers knew it was there, and if it pursued the retreating elves, it might have to force the vice-captain to return to find their help.
And the vice-captain actually made a sound, he first blew the whistle used by the rangers to communicate with each other, and then called in a low voice in the mist, "Captain!?" Captain Mister, we collided with the vampire on the way out, and it hurt several of our clansmen, but we wounded it anyway, and it ran away! Now we can carry Dickland back!"
The appearance, voice, and even the meaning of the whistle are impeccable, and Mister subconsciously wanted to respond, but was pulled by Qin Wei, and he shook his head and motioned for her to wait a little longer.
Qin Wei knew that Mister must be worried about the safety of the injured clansman so he easily believed the vice captain, but he was different, he was still ruthless about the death of an elf, after all, he had always thought that he did not belong to this world, so he was more like a third-party bystander.
And he'd read the records of vampire predation, and there was a speculation that they could get some of the memories of their prey while feeding, and if that was true, then it had learned the way the rangers communicated from the team members who had been victimized earlier, and their names were also possible, so they had to wait and see.
"Captain!? We can't stay in this forest for too long!Dickland is dying!" The vice-captain was still calling, and even took the initiative to kneel down beside the injured elf to "rescue".
"Captain!? Where are you, I need your help!"
The vice-captain's repeated calls to Mister made the latter's body tremble, if it weren't for Qin Wei pulling her hard, she might have rushed out a long time ago, even if the vice-captain was a vampire, she planned to snatch Dikran back from it.
So she stared at Qin Wei with an angry face and almost stretched out a slap to knock down his hand, if it weren't for the queen's trust in his face, I'm afraid she would have done it a long time ago.
However, Qin Wei had already made up his mind at this time, and he stretched out a finger and pointed at himself, making Mister's originally indifferent face show doubts.
Mister was furious, obviously failing to understand what Qin Wei meant, which made him have to point at the vice captain first, and then at himself.
It's a pity that this female elf warrior still didn't know Qin Wei's abstract expression, they all knew that vampires' ears were also very bright, so they didn't dare to speak, which also made the communication between the two people in the temporary team have an obstacle.
But Qin Wei's sign language is not good at all, and even if he can, it turns out that the sign language in the world is not necessarily universal in the pan-world, so it is still necessary to rely on the mouth at the critical time!
