11. Stealth
The night is dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the depths of the silent forest, there were several sneaky moving figures, their dark purple skin matching the dark shadow against the longing background, and it was difficult to tell them apart from each other.
These people are naturally a group of night elves led by Jian Chen, and what they are going to do now has nothing to do with being above board.
"Are you sure it's out of the nest?" Lowering his voice, Jian Chen's voice was like a robber sneaking into the village to loot.
"I'm pretty sure." Fitz glanced ahead and nodded very firmly.
"Okay." Jian Chen didn't say anything more, and the group continued to move forward after Fitz, and it didn't take long for them to come to a relatively empty area.
The scenery in the woods is much the same, but this place is really extraordinary, and without Fitz's reminder, Jian Chen and the others also know that they have arrived at their destination.
"These trees are so big."
Such a sentence of emotion, in fact, can not depict the shock of the spectacle in front of you, every tree here, more than ten meters apart, so visually easy to create a rather empty feeling, but in fact, when you look up, you will find that the situation is not the case at all. The sky overhead was shrouded in emerald green, and even if it wasn't like the night now, it looked like it was layered and opaque. As for the trunks of the trees that connect them to the ground, Chen Jian estimates that the five of them may not be able to hold them even if they are surrounded by five people.
"Where?" Jian Chen's gaze wandered around a few times, and he quickly gave up, although the night elves' night vision ability was extremely good, but I have to say that this place was a little too big, perhaps because these trees were too tall, compressing the depth of field, giving him an illusion of space.
"There!" Fitz quickly pointed him in the right direction, and following the other's fingers, everyone now saw clearly the great nest attached to the branches.
"It's really a bird's nest, I thought a creature like the Chimera must have lived in a cave." Jia Lei looked at the dark shadow on the treetops and said, although it didn't look big, but it was actually just a matter of height.
Ravenkes, who was beside him, poked him in the elbow with his arm: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work, in case the Chimera comes back when it will be bad." ”
"Shouldn't I just express my feelings?"
Jia Lei complained about this, and quickly moved his hands, stacking the explosives bags he was carrying on top of each other to the roots of the tree.
The specific tactics and methods of use, Chen Jian had actually explained to them, but to be honest, how much of his thoughts these Night Elves understood had to be put on a question mark. But now that he was in command from the side, there should be no mistakes, he observed the surrounding terrain and said, "Put all the explosives bags in this position, don't distract the fire, and then the bait crew will attract those gnolls from the direction we just came, and then see those rocks over there?" Once you've got the enemy in place, you immediately duck inside to avoid being hit by the explosives, and Connie - you'll have to shoot them when they're in place. ”
The female sentry named by Jian Chen answered, although Fitz's archery skills were undoubtedly more superb than the head, but considering that Fitz shot the leader of the echinoderm gnolls in the eye, his hatred should be very high, so he also joined the decoy team, and the ignition finally fell to Connie - this is the result of her winning ten arrows through one blade in a row.
But now, the female sentry, who was very good at focusing on the arrows, seemed to be attracted by something else, and she still looked overhead, looking a little melancholy: "Will there be cubs in the nest?" ”
As soon as these words were asked, the atmosphere in the room froze, although the Night Elves had more or less thought about this question, but it was something they avoided mentioning.
Jian Chen was very cold-blooded in this regard, he said: "Fraternity and compassion are good, but it would be too stupid to care about the life and death of irrelevant people when you are too busy to take care of yourself." If you have that heart, wait until you pass this level and then find a way to remedy it. ”
Fortunately, the night elves are not as holy as Jian Chen imagined, most of them agree with Jian Chen's opinion, in this world of the jungle, desperately struggling to survive is the only way out, and Connie is not actually ignorant of this truth, but from the perspective of motherhood, she seems a little sentimental.
Fitz on the side felt his wife's sadness and stepped forward to hold her hand, with an inquiring meaning in his eyebrows, but Connie shook her head at him and smiled, indicating that she was fine.
Next, there is less time for small talk.
The Night Elves have clearly not forgotten their mission, and they still have a lot of unfinished business to do.
And at this moment, a strong wind suddenly rolled up in the forest, and then there was the sound of the trees trembling and swaying, and the leaves were like waves, mixed with a low roar like thunder.
Fitz frowned, and a pair of pointed ears moved keenly in the direction where the voice came from, and immediately warned everyone: "It's the Chimera, it's back!" ”
Jia Lei almost subconsciously turned his head to look at Ravenkes beside him, and muttered a crow's mouth, the latter wanted to refute, but saw that now was not the time to argue, and was about to retreat with a look of panic, but was stopped by Chen Jian: "Don't move, everyone, listen to me, don't move!" ”
Everyone's eyes focused on Jian Chen's body for a moment, although they were all Esara's guards, but they had to admit that Jian Chen's appearance had helped them a lot, if it weren't for his appearance, there would definitely have been casualties in this team now.
Although there was neither a vote nor a vote, Jian Chen was faintly the commander of this group of Night Elves. This has nothing to do with the domineering style, as you can see, if you and a group of your friends get lost in the wilderness forest, and happen to meet such a guy who is familiar with the wild life, I am afraid that as long as you are not too self-centered, you will follow his guidance for safety.
And Chen Jian is the old driver now.
The discovery that the spring water could heal Fitz's wounds and the gunpowder extracted from the rubble had fully proved his worth to the Night Elves and earned their trust, so when Jian Chen issued such a warning now, everyone was puzzled, but they also stayed where they were as he instructed, even if the Chimera was already behind them, brushing aside the blades, revealing its huge and terrifying body.
This time, Jian Chen witnessed a monster named Chimera with his own eyes.
He had only heard the descriptions of the Night Elves and the system before, but when he saw the real thing, he still sighed at the magic of creation. The adult Chimera in front of them, about fifteen meters in size, with two heads shaped like dragon heads, but belonging to the beast species, Violet's body is covered with black stripes and feathers, and its mouth is spitting thunder and lightning, it is the most terrifying existence in this forest.
The appearance of the Chimera made all the Night Elves present feel fear.
The Night Elves hurriedly held their breath, expecting it to fly over or return to its lair without paying a eye to them, but wondering if the Night Elf's location was too sensitive, or if the unfamiliar smell touched its nerves, the Chimera hovered in the air for a while, turned around and swooped down in the direction of the ground.
The Night Elves were almost subconsciously about to collapse, and if any of them couldn't help but scream or retreat at this time, it really wouldn't be anyone's fault, after all, it was Chen Jian himself, and when he swooped down head-on at a monster ten times his size, he didn't feel good at all - no one would feel good.
But Rao, Jian Chen's eyes still widened desperately, and he gestured to the Night Elf companions around him-
Don't move!
Ravenketh and Jarley's hearts were beating to their throats, and even when they were hunting winter wolves, they weren't as nervous as they were now. Their entire faces were covered with sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the water, and Connie simply closed her eyes and snuggled into her husband's chest, intending to be out of sight.
The huge Chimera landed beside the Night Elves, its two heads on the left and right peering forward symmetrically, the pupils of the apricot-colored beast's eyes narrowed into a thin line, shrunk and moved slowly, but the Night Elves noticed that its gaze did not fall on them, but on the clearing behind them.
Such a discovery instilled some confidence in their almost overdrawn bodies, and although they did not yet understand the reason, there was only one explanation for the current situation.
It can't see them!
The Chimera sniffed the air with her nose again, and despite the fact that Jare was a step away, the Chimera was unable to spot the outlaws intent on invading its lair, and it turned its head in confusion, finally giving up thinking and spreading its wings again and flying back into its lair. When its figure finally disappeared from view, the group of Night Elves could no longer hold it up, and one by one they fell to the ground.
"What's going on...... It doesn't seem to be able to see us? ”
The Night Elves had always thought that the Chimera was ignoring them when they met in the forest, but what had happened to them had shown them that they seemed to possess an amazing talent.
"I think it's because we can be invisible at night." Jian Chen revealed this astonishing discovery to them.
