Chapter Eighty-Six: Stealing the Fruits of the War
Quietly under the night sky.
Everything around was quiet, with a cool moonlight falling deep into this beautiful forest, and a clear lake in front of it. In the moonlight, the surface of the water is like a crystal clear, as if it contains some kind of dreamlike power. According to the folk legends of the elves, it is said that there is a water spirit living in this lake, but there are very few people who can actually see her, but it is undeniable that there is indeed a force hanging over it.
In the dark.
Athletic figures lurk around, and hunters with their skilled tracking and stealth skills wait patiently near the lake, waiting for their desired prey to appear.
Headwaters.
This is a place where most of the wild creatures can't live without, and the lake has a hint of life energy condensation, so many creatures in the vicinity like to rehydrate here.
A black cheetah appeared on the edge of the lake.
The hunters didn't make the slightest move, although this was also a good prey, with near-high-level strength, but what they wanted today was not this kind of goods.
As believers in the god of the hunt, they are well aware of the habits of unicorns.
It is said that the unicorn goddess is the daughter of Lady Silvermoon, but there is no basis for this claim, and the relationship between the two gods is not very close. The closest ally of the unicorn goddess is the queen of the forest, and her relationship with Ms. Silvermoon can only be said to be relatively friendly, and if Ms. Silvermoon gives birth to a daughter, she should not be a divine unicorn, so there must be some relationship between the two, but in fact it should not be the identity of mother and daughter.
It's interesting to say.
The enemies of Marat, the god of hunting, are almost all closely related, such as the Queen of the Forest, the Unicorn Goddess, the Silver Moon Lady, etc., and most of its hostile gods are relatively close allies. This is also the reason why Sauron did not dare to take the other weak gods rashly, because he might accidentally provoke an extremely powerful enemy!
Unicorns have a habit.
They prefer to be in the quiet of the night, especially when there is moonlight. Walking in the forest, so the chances of it appearing today are high.
Hunting requires patience.
Many of these hunters were chaotic, but they were quite patient, lurking in the vicinity and not moving, scattering and surrounding the lake.
But!
They also didn't notice that one of them left a little.
The night is getting darker.
A little bit of crystal light suddenly appeared in the forest in the distance, and then I saw a unicorn with a pale golden horn and an incomparably divine horse appear in sight. It had snow-white fur, like a creature that had come out of a dream, and the cold moonlight fell on its body. It was as if it was refracting a faint light, illuminating everything nearby.
A sacred unicorn.
Being able to bear the name of "sacred" is naturally related to God in this world, it is a creature favored by the unicorn goddess, not only has a trace of power given by the gods, but Sauron also feels the divinity in it.
It's a divine creature!
The eyes of the hunters lurking in the darkness were burning, but the unicorn in front of them still did not feel the danger approaching, and it leisurely strolled along the lake, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the night. It retains the lineage of celestial beings. Therefore, the brilliance on its body is actually a symbol of strength, and the characteristics of celestial creatures are still in effect on its body.
The unicorn slowly came to the lake.
It leisurely lowered its head to drink, and suddenly it seemed to sense something, and looked up in alarm. But in the darkness it saw nothing.
Tremble!
Arrows shot out from all directions, and the +2 piercing arrows hit their targets in an instant, leaving wounds in the unicorn's beautiful fur.
Drops of blood slipped down.
The unicorn hissed in anger and horror when a metal mesh suddenly fell from the sky. It was covered in place all at once.
"It worked!"
The excited roars of the other hunters were heard, and in an instant, five figures rushed out, shouting, "Trap it!" Everybody's hands-on! Kill it and we'll get out of now! ”
A dazzling explosion of brilliance!
For a moment, the surroundings were as bright as day. The sudden burst of light directly caused many people to enter a state of blindness, and the pale golden horns on the unicorn's head emitted a faint glow, and bursts of spell fluctuations really converged.
- "Piercing shot!" ”
The hunters' second round of shooting came instantly, and the unicorn that was temporarily trapped had no room to dodge, and suddenly its spell was forcibly interrupted, and its injuries became more and more serious.
The outcome of the battle was almost foregone.
Facing the siege of more than a dozen hunters, even if this sacred unicorn has a legendary level of strength, there is no chance of survival.
After all, it's just a beast of intelligence.
But!
Just when the hunters felt that their prey was about to die, suddenly a series of vigorous figures appeared in the moonlight. Their bodies seemed to be surrounded by the force of the wind, approaching at high speed in a near-low-altitude gliding manner, a distance of tens of meters in a single jump, and soon approached the peaceful surface of this lake destroyed by blood and carnage.
- Wind Chaser!
Another Ranger unit within the Elven Race, it has the strength of the Silver Moon Walker in no way.
Tremble!
A rain of arrows struck, and in the blink of an eye, two hunters fell to the ground.
"Kill the unicorn first!"
The burly half-orc leader had a shocked expression on his face, and he didn't know why his plan had failed, and suddenly he was discovered by these elves, as if they had gotten the news early on.
The Holy Unicorn has been seriously injured, and in this case, it is important not to complete the task at all costs.
In the dark.
An arrow flew out, ending the life of the sacred unicorn and the pain it was suffering.
"You stay and stop the enemy!"
The burly orc leader had a happy expression, and as soon as he carried the unicorn's corpse, he broke through to the outside of the jungle, taking away the sacrifices offered to the god of hunting, leaving the others to break off, as long as the god of hunting could be satisfied, this casualty was nothing at all.
The elves must have come here on the spot, too.
So it was not numerous, it was probably a knee-jerk move, the burly half-orc leader tasted the blood from the throat of the holy unicorn, although the blood was still very luscious to him, but he didn't know why he always felt that something was missing. But there was no time for him to think about it at this time, and after putting away this important sacrifice, he quickly escaped into the primeval forest where the night was heavy.
The battle continues.
But I'm afraid these hunters who stayed behind and broke off won't be able to go back! (To be continued......)
