Chapter 33: Hunting and Being Hunted [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
The woods flashed by, and Roger and Amira raced through the woodland, Roger leading the way, but Amira was faster, almost following him closely, reminding him of his direction from time to time so as not to go astray. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They had put on their armor, Emira was still in leather armor, and Roger had taken off his leather armor and replaced it with patched elven chain mail.
They also donned the Magic Stealth Cloak, which is Brad and Serina's equipment that provides +2 hiding and +2 stealth, primary magic items, which Brad also left for them.
Magic cloaks and elven chain mail are expensive equipment, and they are afraid of attracting attention on the road, so they don't wear them when they are in the car, and he only wears an ordinary leather armor.
But now fleeing in the forest, no one knows when the enemy will appear.
It was still the Twilight Forest Boundary, and the area was too far from Brad's safe zone to be there for them to be, and Roger was just heading in the general direction.
As long as they get in the right direction, they'll be able to get to their destination, and it's up to Amira to find the way.
His destination was the entrance to the ruins of the Dwarven City, and some time ago, he had left Brad's safe zone and made a special trip there to investigate, confirming that it was in the Dusk Forest.
It was at least a day and a half away from Brad's safe zone, closer to here, maybe a day's away, and he would recognize it when he reached the valley.
The underworld wasn't safe, and it took a lot more time to get to Barrington, but they didn't have much choice right now.
This is the best way to get rid of the enemy.
When the carriage is overturned and Emira is rescued, Roger is given a systematic mission: to escape from the enemy's pursuit.
XP rewards up to 2000.
This mission has not yet been completed, which means that the enemy has not given up on tracking. Up to 2000 experience, which means that this task is difficult, you must know that to upgrade to level 8, he only needs 3600 experience.
The sun is setting in the west, and it's about to enter the evening.
The forest was even more dangerous at night, and Roger and Amira were tired, and it was unwise to rush at night in this state, so they had to stop and rest.
"Water, beef jerky, dry bread, jam." Roger took out the food and handed it to Amira.
A good habit when I used to be a player, a storage bag was always dedicated to storing at least half a month's ration, and two people could last at least a week without hunting.
"Thank you."
Amira picked up the food, ate it silently, and suddenly said, "I think those people are a bit like slave traders, just like last time. ”
Roger nodded, and he agreed.
The robbers wanted money, and their targets were mainly caravans and rich people, and since they found out that they were only two young men, why did they bother to chase them after them?
It's been hours.
Avenge.
It's possible, but it's a bit bold to see him cast a spell and chase after him.
If you have such a high level of knowledge, you won't be a bandit, you can't do anything well, and there are many decent jobs.
As long as you have a little knowledge and strength, you can be an adventurer, at least your status is much higher, and if you have a lot of luck, you can go into business if you have money, or enter the upper class, or continue to improve your skills.
Why be a bandit.
This is simply a profession that cannot be put on the stage and has a pitiful low pattern.
Along the way, this task was never completed, and Roger couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the system suddenly added another task.
[Additional Mission: Escape from the Enemy's Pursuit]
[Additional Reward: 1000 XP]
[Note: You found out the identity of the trackers, or the original slave traders, kill all the trackers]
"UH-HUH, THE SYSTEM CONFIRMED IT FOR ME, IT'S PRETTY NICE."
"There are about thirty-seven or eight people chasing after them, most of them are small minions, and there are still 3,000 experiences, which means that the leader still has two hits."
Don't look at the additional 1000, but the real difficulty depends on the total experience, because in the end, you get so many experience points, and the additional is just to compensate for the difficulty.
During this time, Roger also roughly figured out the urine nature of this system.
"Almost, let's go."
Roger wasn't afraid that those trackers wouldn't follow, obviously the other side had the means, and he needed to find a more advantageous battlefield, where the two of them couldn't handle so many people.
After regaining their strength, they continued on their way. Half an hour later, Roger suddenly noticed a gray shadow flashing in front of him.
"There are enemies." Roger quickly pulled out his crossbow.
With a thud, a rusty throwing knife flew out of the forest and headed straight for Roger's front door.
Roger kept holding the keel knife in his right hand, and with a wave of his hand, the flying knife was knocked down. He saw six half-human, half-hyena creatures in the forest, scattered and rushed out.
Four of them held rusty iron swords, and two held short knives.
The throwing knife that was thrown over just now was also a short knife, and there was only one of the two gnolls, and Roger knew that there would be no more throwing knives, so he decisively attacked forward.
"It's a gnoll."
Amira also kept her short bow in her hand, and with a sharp stop, she took out two arrows from her back, swished twice, and let out a terrible howl in front of her.
Roger had reached the gnoll and had been hit by two arrows, and the gnoll was not dead. Roger didn't give the monster a chance, the keel knife sliced through its long neck, blood pouring out.
The gnoll's iron sword broke out of his hand, and his body fell to the ground.
Gnolls are stronger creatures than goblins, in the orc army rank, they belong to the lowest level like goblins, and their strength is not strong, and the gnolls here are poorly equipped, and their strength is weakened by a few points, but they are difficult to deal with when there are many numbers.
Three gnolls had already burst into Amira's side, and two were attacking Roger on this side.
Roger's hand crossbow was fired, and it was only a few meters away, not only Roger's accuracy was very high, but the power of the special hand crossbow was also very great.
The bolt was shot into the bodies of the two gnolls who attacked Amira, and the two monsters screamed twice and fell to the ground.
The other was shot by Amira's bow and arrow, and fled into the woods.
"Kill that one."
Roger let out a yell, threw down his crossbow, and dodged a gnoll's iron sword attack, the keel knife slashed from the gnoll's waist, and then continued to pounce forward, stabbing the last gnoll in the chest.
The strong acid entered the body, and the gnoll fell to the ground, screaming, and Roger quickly took care of these two.
The escaped gnoll was wounded and unfast, and was killed by Amira's arrow.
After the battle stopped, Amira wiped the sweat from her forehead with palpitations. Glancing at the gnoll corpse on the ground, she suddenly stared at Roger in a daze.
Roger's movements just now were so fast, there was hardly any superfluous movement in the attack of the magic knife, and the coordination of the crossbow was also very precise and skillful.
It's only been a little time since he went out, and Roger's strength has improved so quickly.
