His strength has increased by two points, and his agility has all increased by a little, which is expected, and his whole person has become a lot more energetic in the past few days, and there are vaguely more muscles in his body.
Regarding the Dark Arrow skill, there is not much description of the mysterious voice, just like the elegance of the wind, and the specific role is mostly to be explored by yourself.
Even the Bloody Wind Howl, isn't it a skill that only appears after many unintentional activations, giving a general explanation of the effect.
Luckily, the Wood Elf Archer is a qualified teacher, and as a transmitter of the Dark Arrow skill, that's how he describes the skill!
"Dark arrows are unpredictable cold arrows. Fast, accurate, and ruthless are its mysteries. Open the bow quickly, and people should be caught off guard. Shoot accurately, and the arrow move that can hit the target is a good move. Be ruthless to your enemies, and be ruthless to yourself. Once you unleash a dark arrow in a short-to-medium range battle, you will either hit it or lose the initiative. It's a must-have trick for anyone who is a remote professional. Of course, I see that your swordsmanship is good, at least much stronger than me, so it's better to plan how to control the pace of the battle. Also, if you want to sneak up with this hand, you should get good results as well. ā
Dark arrow, Ling Qi prefers to call it a fast arrow or a cold arrow!
There was a conversation with the strong Nord warrior, and this big-chested young man was stunned and didn't notice anything unusual, and was often amused by Ling Qi's nonsensical words.
The trip went smoothly, and for more than half of the journey, no major trouble was encountered, and even some well-known medium-sized thieves were polite when they saw them.
Jack Syren the Bloodthirsty, Antoreel Marie the Shadow of Death, Leo Larry the Wings of Freedom, none of them are famous. But when they stood together, combined with the occasional murderous intent, it made the beasts have to clamp their tails.
Simply no beasts and robbers would dare to challenge them head-on, let alone deliberately find fault.
It's just that every morning when they get up, everyone will still find corpses with different dead appearances in some inconspicuous places around the camp.
Vipers, jackals, leopards, goblins, kobolds, and even some wandering wildlings and robbers!
"Robbers?"
One morning, the group finally saw the human corpse outside the camp again.
Kara kicked the corpse in disgust, and Moti also looked hateful, and it was obvious that they didn't like to see this promising profession.
"Do you see what's going on?"
Nikolai asked Old Jack, who was crouching down to look for clues.
These secret watchers have killed a lot in the past few days, but they still can't scare the descendants.
It seems that for some greedy people who are lucky, they should be killed cleanly.
"I can't see it, it's just..."
Old Jack was a little hesitant, the robber's clothes were very ordinary, and there were no eye-catching tattoos on his body, not like a member of several well-known large bands of thieves.
But his weapon, the pitch-black longbow that fell aside...
"Haha, it's good that you can't see it, it must be a nobody. ā
Hank, the tiger man, said this and spoke directly to his heart.
Along the way, even Ling Qi was dyed with some blood in order to practice his hands and show his strength. Only this tiger man boxer, like a monk who eats fasting and recites Buddha, has no contribution to the team.
It's just that since the situation is going well, Hank is a diligent person, before and after the saddle, he is very active, and he is familiar with everyone, which makes it difficult for people to say anything.
Nikolai, who was clearly not as optimistic as Hank, saw old Jack's prudence.
"Just what?"
The scholar asked, and Old Jack shook his head and pointed to the bow on the ground.
A black bow, a good bow, to use such a hard bow, at least a formal archer, that is, with archery skills above the basic level.
Such an archer died silently, not because he was too weak, but because his opponent was too strong, and he suppressed him to the death!
The archer was hit by a total of three arrows, one of which pierced his arm head-on, which he should have actively blocked, one arrow that pierced his left leg, where he fell, where he died, and the last arrow that pierced his throat and robbed him of his life!
If you look closely, you can also see an arrow mark from a big tree behind him, there are some blood stains in the groove, and scattered blood beads extend all the way into the distance until they fade away.
Obviously, there is another fish that has slipped through the net, which is one of the reasons why Old Jack seriously probes the identity of the robber.
With one enemy and two, four arrows were taken, one life was collected, and one person was scared away.
This is not a beast, it is a formal professional, even if the combat skill level is lower, it is much more difficult to kill him than to kill a wolf.
Ling Qi marveled at Leo's archery skills in his heart, simulating the situation in his mind, imagining the embarrassment and panic of the ambushers in the dark.
As for the fish that slipped through the net, Ling Qi was not worried, and he didn't even leave a word about the scene, what big way could he be.
On the contrary, the scholar was concerned about Ling Qi, he didn't want to know how the battle took place at that time, and how amazing the bow skills of the wood elves were. He stared at the black longbow lying on the ground, his brow furrowing more and more, and after a moment-
"Black Bow?!"
Looking at the bow tattoo on the robber's right arm, which had been wiped off the blood, Nikolai's tone was alarmed.
"Black Bow!"
Old Jack put down the dead corpse and breathed solemnly.
Listening to their inexplicable conversation, several Nords scratched their heads, and Hank also looked at Nikolai dumbfounded.
Ling Qi noticed that Leo, who was also staring at the black bow, turned pale when he heard this, and even his body trembled slightly.
Antorel, who stood at the outskirts of the line, seemed to glance at everyone, a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Ling Qi thought about it, this "black bow" seems to be a very remarkable thing!
Old Jack's face turned pale, he looked at Leo, looked at Nikolai, and finally said in a deep voice to Ling Qi:
"It could be just a clumsy pretender, or some homeless man who had been expelled from the Black Bow bandits, or of course, it could be that the notorious bandit entrenched near Riyavin had traveled thousands of miles to the middle of Syrodil to make a living. ā
As he said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone seemed to tremble a little, it seems that the bandit organization called the Black Bow is very terrifying.
"If, I mean, if he's really the man with the Black Bow, and it's his companion who ran away, then what are you going to do when Blake the Heart Eater comes to the door?"
Old Jack asked, Ling Qi raised an eyebrow, and Kara responded in his place.
"What kind of heart eater herbivore, come to the door, of course it's a fight!"
This is what Ling Qi wanted to say, naturally, compared to the Nord people who were full of muscles, he believed in salute first and then soldiers.
All the robbers want is money, and if the other party is really strong enough, it is not impossible to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.
Old Jack clearly didn't think so, he chuckled, and didn't even bother to refute.
Kara is enraged by Old Jack's attitude, and his brother pulls her in time.
This beastly man has extraordinary insight and has already felt the oppression of the atmosphere.
And after a few days of getting along, while fully demonstrating his terrifying power, it also exposed the fatal flaw of his slow movements.
He was nowhere near as powerful as everyone thought.
Although the innate advantage in size still allows him to take advantage of the battle, he can do all kinds of incredible moves!
But after getting acquainted with him, everyone is not afraid of him much, including Jack, who happens to have an agility specialty.
"Perhaps, try to negotiate. ā
Scholar You suggested another idea in Ling Qi's mind, and Old Jack just shook his head.
"Blake won't negotiate with anyone, not the Count. His brutality is known only to those who have actually heard of his deeds. ā
Nikolai had nothing to say, and looked at Ling Qi, who was the leader of this temporary team.
