Chapter 279: Dispute with Zoro

"Brother, come and take a look. ”

Seeing her solemn expression, Ayton immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and ordered everyone to stay where they were and follow Ariel into the dense forest ahead. Xingye looked at the backs of the two, his eyes were faintly worried, and he couldn't help but take out the revolver on his waist with both hands.

The dazed crowd didn't know what the girl's hand was for, and they just listened to Ayton's words and stood by.

Follow Ariel to the scene of the incident, where a porcupine lying has just died, Ayton carefully looked at his wounds, there are traces of magic in his body, there are also traces of being cut by sharp weapons, and the sharp weapon that caused the fatal wound is very similar to a special weapon of the dark elf blood shadow hunting group... Blood Moon Scimitar.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the heaviness of each other's hearts...

"What's going on?" Seeing that the two of them had returned safely, Cecily stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"In addition to us, there are other people in this forest, they are very powerful, and they have cleared most of the demonic beasts in this area," Ayton said solemnly.

Ruolin frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be some team of mercenary adventurers who entered this area?"

"Impossible, there are too many traces of magic there, and it is impossible for an ordinary mercenary team to have so many mages, let alone the demonic beasts that have the ability to clear this area" Ayton hid the discovery of the Blood Moon Scimitar, and his face was a little ugly: "My advice now is to leave quickly, don't send flares, and return the same way." ”

What the?!

Everyone was shocked that the situation was so serious! Only Angel's expression seemed to be a little indescribable.

Ruolin was okay when she heard the first sentence, but she frowned directly when she heard the irresponsible words of the second sentence: "Why don't you send a flare, do you mean that we don't notify the other branches and run away alone?!"

"Yes," Ayton admitted directly, "if we fire flares now, the gang will probably spot us, we fired one not long ago, and they are probably following the trail." ”

In fact, as he said, the rest of the branches have more or less a hundred people, and the water branch plus the various guards has more than two hundred people, but compared to the light branch with only 10 people, it is obviously easier to be discovered by the blood shadow hunting group, and at this time, the wind branch was also attacked......

......

Hundreds of pitch-black arrows shot like locusts from both sides of the dense forest into the cyan robed crowd, and more than a dozen people were killed by the arrows in an instant. By the time everyone reacted to the attack, they had already fallen.

The only sixth-order team leader instructor in the Wind Department Branch looked at the dark elves that came out of the shadows, his face was terrified, and he shouted loudly for the students to flee. He was just about to launch the flare in his hand, when another arrow accurately shot down the tiny red dot of light in midair.

Dark Elf archery instructor and Sheena's new mentor, Editha. (After becoming a fourth-order, each dark elf has a chance to be recognized by a sixth-order powerhouse, but the quota is limited to those with particularly superior talents)

Editha was wearing a close-fitting black leather armor that wrapped her sexy and beautiful tall figure, her eyes under the black cloak were as piercing as ice for ten thousand years, and the longbow in her hand carried the aftermath of her fighting spirit that had not dissipated...

In the face of this attack, the weaker defense line of the Wind Branch was even more inadequate, and after a while, the Wind Mentor was shot into a sieve by this sixth-order peak Dark Elf Archery Instructor, and everyone in the Academy saw this, turned around in horror and fled, but as a result, more than a hundred Dark Elf Archers emerged from the rear, surrounding the remnants of less than 50 Wind Mages.

Seeing this, Glenn, who was the only one in the academy with a teleportation scroll, hurriedly took out the scroll in his arms, and just as he was about to tear it open, a black arrow pierced his right arm, and the teleportation scroll fell from his hand. In desperation, he saw a slender female dark elf with a simple bow gleaming black gleaming towards him...

......

"No, I strongly disagree. The elegant and dignified Ruolin showed a determined face. Cecily also frowned and stood on her aunt's side.

"Ayton, you're so sure that those people are a threat to us, it's possible that they're just a huge team of mercenaries, I've heard in Black Rock City that many mercenaries have recently begun to form teams to explore that ancient ruin. ”

"If you want to die, you can go by yourself, my brother and I won't accompany you to death," Ariel said in a playful voice holding Ayton's arm, to be honest, she really didn't care about the life or death of this group of people in her heart. But as soon as she said this, the atmosphere present instantly became heavy.

Ayton quietly pressed the girl next to him back behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Please believe me, while we haven't been discovered yet, leave immediately..."

Ruolin didn't speak again, but the hand holding the flare slowly loosened, but her tone did not waver: "I must inform others, I am the mentor of this operation, you don't have to say it again." ”

Ariel seemed to want to say more, but Ayton reached out to stop her, and her eyes turned to Angel, who had been silent, she was the titular dean of the light department, and she should at least say something. But the latter stood in place to meet his gaze, chose to shake his head, and did not speak.

Seeing this, the two young wind students and Bi'er couldn't help but choose to stand by Ruolin's side.

Only Starry Night saw Ayton's sinking face, looked at the others, and stood silently behind him.

"This... Lan Keke, who was caught in the middle, looked at Cecily in a dilemma, and then looked at Ayton's gloomy face, and his voice carried a hint of pleading: "Ayton, such a big forest of despair, it should be difficult for those people to find us, or notify the nearest wood branch, they have three sixth-order masters, there should be no accidents." ”

“......”

Ayton looked at this innocent little princess and sighed inevitably, she should have roughly guessed where the enemy belonged, but in her heart she still didn't want to abandon the other branches that were also Bright Blue mages, but this kind of luck was likely to cost her life.

"Ayton, if not, you take Her Royal Highness the princess back to Black Rock City, and leave when we notify the people from the other branches, half a day is almost enough for us to return to Black Rock City to meet you. Cecily frowned and looked at him, her heart's good feelings for the two of them were now gone, or she had regarded them as greedy for life and afraid of death...

"No, I'm not leaving" Sure enough, Lan Keke shook his head firmly, and as he spoke, he took out a particularly exquisite scroll from his arms: "I won't leave yours behind, and I have a fixed-point teleportation scroll, Cerseili, you don't have to worry about my safety this time." ”

Only then did the female knight give in, and Ayton looked at Lan Coco with great complexity, and then turned to look at the silver-haired girl standing behind her, who cast a trusting look... Originally, he wanted the girl to stay in Black Rock City after revenge, but Starry Night insisted on following him that night, but now, the situation was beyond his expectations...

Angel still didn't speak as usual, Ayton didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but definitely not leaving, after a short trade-off, perhaps because he didn't want to lose this delicate friendship, Ayton finally chose to stay with them to find the closer wood branch.

After receiving the reply left, Lan Coco jumped up with joy...

......

Run... Come on!

At this time, Toby had only one thought in his mind, and that was to run!

From time to time, the screams of his companions could be heard behind him, and the two sixth-order academy tutors and more than twenty committee members were struggling to support and buy time for them.

Unlike the magnates of the other branches, most of the people in the Earth Branch were civilians, and none of them had teleportation scrolls, so they all worked together and rushed in the direction of the nearest Fire Branch, but they didn't know that they had been attacked not long ago, except for a few who escaped with the scrolls, the rest were either killed or captured.

And now, after only a few minutes of fighting, in the face of the more powerful dark elf hunting group, the earth branch has been reduced to a lost dog running for its life, more than fifty students were chased and killed by a dozen dark elves, but the former could not afford to resist the slightest thought, and his heart was already frightened by the prestige of the dark elves.

In a trance, he saw a figure in a black cloak appear in front of him.

There is an ambush! Toby's face was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and was about to release his magic, but just as he was about to make a move, a cold voice came from ahead.

"Go here!"

At the same time, when he saw the red hairends exposed under the opponent's cloak, he immediately rejoiced, and threw the earth stabbing technique to the dark elves chasing behind him, saving a companion who was about to be killed.

Before he could say thanks, he had already passed through the red-haired cloaked man, only to see the latter's calm and calm pitch-black longbow, pulling the bowstring, and with a bang, the arrow shot through the chest of a dark elf warrior, once again saving a slow-running earth magician.

This move instantly attracted the attention of many people, making the earth students feel like a savior, and at the same time, it also angered the hunters, and the ant-like prey dared to fight back!

In an instant, five or six figures rushed towards him, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and his eyes showed a strong taste of hatred, and he bent his bow and arrows again, but the arrows shot were blocked by the overlapping 'black shield' magic in mid-air.

"Run, our mentor won't last long" At this time, Toby also kindly reminded that it was completely impossible to resist the current strength comparison, and only those who ran fast could survive!

The red-haired hunter didn't say a word, and stepped back with his dexterity, shooting arrows reflexively from time to time on the way, each shot just right to stop the pursuers' footsteps. Until the corner of a tree, he suddenly drew the short knife at his waist and cut the rope hidden behind the tree.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking the air on both sides sounded one after another, and several extremely sharp wooden sticks about two meters long and sharpened pierced the air, shooting towards the dark elves pursuing behind. There was no time to be surprised by the setup here, and another fourth-order dark elf warrior fell.

Such a simple and practical trap, when did he set it up?!!

"Bastard, catch him for me!" a fifth-order hunter roared, beckoning the other two companions to outflank him from both sides, and it was a great shame to be killed by two excellent fourth-order warriors in a row by a human being!

Toby was shocked by the red-haired youth's calm demeanor, and at the same time, he couldn't help but slow down the pace of his feet... Looking back, three dark spells flew again, all of which were turned over by the hunter to dodge, but the distance between the two was also narrowed a point, he hid sideways behind a tree, and a fiery red fighting aura rose from the palm of his hand holding the arrow, and when a male dark elf was less than ten meters away from him, he quickly took a bow and measured his body.

Airplanes...

The bowstring vibrate, and the arrow seemed to be wrapped in a thick flame, shooting directly at the male elf, whose left hand was slightly open, and a 'black shield' was protected by a 'black shield' on his chest, and with a bang, the black shield was annihilated in the scorching wave of air, and the resulting fiery afterwave instantly burned half of his face.

Another elven warrior lost his combat effectiveness, the hunter gritted his teeth, and besieged him left and right with another female elf warrior, but the red-haired young man suddenly threw a small bottle and jar from his waist, smashed it on the fourth-order female elf, and pulled out a short knife with his backhand and slashed at the hunter.

With a thud, the blade was blocked, and the red-haired youth's center of gravity shifted back slightly, and he seemed to be slightly weaker than his opponent in strength, and the woman was hit by the bottle he tossed, and the black viscous liquid splashed all over her.

Toby, who had run 30 meters, looked back and saw this situation again, his eyes looked into the distance again, the roar of magic was still ringing, and all the fifth-order members of their academy and the sixth-order mentors were struggling to support themselves, burning their lives to buy them time to escape, but this hunter he didn't know before also stayed to help him stop the enemy?!

Why...

After a brief moment of hesitation, Toby made a decision he didn't even understand, he stopped, his hands slightly spread, and two clouds of earthy yellow-magic gathered in his palms.

Fourth-Order Magic: 'Earth Thorn'!

The magic array flashed under the feet of the fourth-order female elf warrior, the latter noticed this change, and when she wanted to leave, the liquid on her body seemed to have a kind of viscosity, which slowed her pace down a little, and her right leg was pierced by a hard spike, but this female elf was not a coward, the scarlet gaze was on Toby for a moment, and the 'shadow arrow' magic in her hand immediately condensed to fight back.

On the other side, Zoro was defeated by the fierce attacks of the fifth-order elf hunters, but his cold face like a dead man still did not show a trace of panic.

Taking advantage of a gap, he threw out a black solid block around his waist again, and the elven hunter was vigilant and dodged sideways, but he took out the longbow behind his back this time, and the latter was wary of the bursting arrow he had just shot, and made a defensive stance, ready to take advantage of his weakness after the launch, and kill him strongly!

But who knew that the red-haired hunter simply shot an arrow, turned around and ran, and the fifth-order hunter didn't have time to think, grabbing the gap between the opponent's longbow and rushing straight towards the other party.

At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly came from behind, and when he turned his head, his female companion turned into a flaming fire man, wailing and struggling... With no opponent left, Toby turned his head and switched to the elven hunter.

It turned out that Sauron used the flint thrown by rubbing it with an arrow stained with a special material to create a spark, igniting the fire oil that stuck to the female elf.

But the situation should not stay for a long time, and when all the members of the Soil Branch Mentor Committee have fallen, and they will not be able to run if they want to, the red-haired hunter did not choose to fight again, and took advantage of the gap between the 'Earth Thorn' magic to force him back, and ran quickly in the direction of Toby.

Of course, the elven hunter can't stop there!Holding the scimitar and leaning forward, suddenly the sole of his foot seemed to step on a metal frame, and with a click, a sharp tearing pain came from his right foot, and he couldn't help but look down, only to see a fine iron beast clamping his ankle...
