When you are thinking, time will always pass quickly, and before you know it, it is getting dark.

Because this time he was traveling on horseback and not in a hurry, Roddy took a previously planned route - through a low-level biological area of the Silent Forest, to see if he could get some animal pelts, so that he could make some extra money while taking shortcuts.

"It's hard to live a budget-conscious life!"

Luo Di sighed - although this trip to the orc kingdom was a small gain, but there are not many things that can really be exchanged for money, the big problem of "funds" can never be avoided, more than 30 people eat and drink every day is not a small amount, although the remaining money is enough for them to eat for a month, but there is no fixed income industry, which really makes Luo Di feel bottomless.

In the evening, the fellow, who is now a level 8 legionnaire, walked into the Silent Forest, and found a flat and safe ground to set up a tent before midnight, leisurely lit a bonfire, and processed the turtledoves that had been shot down casually and roasted them on the fire.

Accustomed to solitude, Roddy doesn't seem to feel withdrawn, on the contrary, he seems to enjoy the freedom of being alone in the jungle.

"It would be nice if I could have a built-in MP3 player and play some songs. ”

"There's no cumin in this place, it's a real headache, and there's no chili pepper... Gee. ”

Quiet nights, orange bonfires, young people with a relaxed face and talking to themselves. Such a scene is all too familiar to Roddy, who has spent countless nights like this, and when he thinks about it, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

Looking at the roast chicken on the bonfire, Luo Di carefully checked the heat and pondered his plan for a level 10 transfer... If nothing else, I should have to come to the Silent Forest, because my original mentor lived in this forest.

But it's 588... What is that guru doing at this time?

Thinking so in his heart, he stretched out his hand to stir the bonfire, but just as the dinner in front of him was about to be completed, the sound of "rustling" came from not far away, but it was destined that Roddy's dinner was destined to be unpleasant.

The darkness of the forest is not completely invisible, on the contrary, the leaves, branches, and dirt covered with fallen leaves are clearly visible to the naked eye in the silvery moonlight.

For Nata, the jungle is far less terrifying than it is in the eyes of humans, and in some ways, the dense trees give the wood elves a sense of security. Unlike other elves, the Wood Elves have a deep bloodline with humans, so they are not staunch vegetarians and also need to hunt for a living in the jungle.

And Nata, as a young generation in the village, is not weak, even though she is very talented and praised by the old hunters, she is still too young a "novice" - novices always make mistakes, and unfortunately Nata has made a lot of mistakes today, which has led to her unprecedented critical situation...

Because of her aloof personality, Nata never liked to go out hunting with her fellow villagers, so every time she went out, she would choose to leave the group alone and act alone.

In the past, Nata would hardly miss, but today her luck was obviously very bad: first when she shot a wild boar, she was dragged away by the wound because the arrow was deflected by three centimeters, and then three prey in a row failed to succeed due to various unbelievable mistakes - this was a bit of a nest for the young Nata after all, and the emotional disturbance made her make a big mistake the most...

She inadvertently intrudes into the territory of an adult steel-tailed leopard and annoys the other party.

For Nata, who is not strong enough, the "steel-tailed leopard" is not something she can afford to provoke now, so she immediately chooses to flee - but she never thought that the leopard would chase after it all the way to the present!

After running for two or three kilometers, the black shadow behind her was still chasing after her, and Nata, who was running in the complicated forest, felt that the other party seemed to be trying to exhaust herself to death - she had a short bow, and there were five arrows left in her quiver, although there was still room for counterattack, but she knew that her shooting had now lost the lead, and if she chose to fight to the death, there was almost no chance of winning!

Her wheezing became more rapid, and her legs became numb and heavy. In the darkness, the forest in front of her could not find any obstacle to get rid of the leopard behind her, which made Nata feel a little chill in her heart, but just as she was thinking about whether she should go out and turn around to fight head-on, the orange light that appeared at the end of her vision made her raise her eyebrows sharply.

Is it a campfire? Are there human adventurers here?

The Wood Elves do not raise bonfires outside of the camp, they are very particular about the use of wood, and never take materials from living trees, so when she saw the flames here, the Wood Elf Nata instinctively thought of the only possibility - the guy in front of her should be the "human adventurer" in the mouth of the Elder.

The mood was slightly relaxed, and she knew that the steel-tailed leopard was afraid of flames, so at this moment Nata's direction of running immediately changed, and she turned towards the fire that jumped in the forest - she believed... When the steel-tailed leopard senses the flames, it will definitely choose to stop the pursuit.

As for whether the leopard would attack the unknown caravan or adventurer, Nata didn't worry at all. She didn't intend to have anything to do with the other party at all, and she didn't even have the slightest curiosity.

The wood elves were originally almost silent when they ran in the forest, but because they had been running for too long, the footsteps of Nata were very obvious at this time, but what was even more obvious was the increasingly undisguised sound of meat cushioning the ground behind him...

The steel-tailed leopard began to accelerate.

Although there were still forty or fifty meters away, Nata could already see the figure in front of the campfire - to her surprise and disappointment... There was only one person in the camp.

Not far away, the reins of the three horses were haphazardly tied to the tree, and they seemed to be stirring their hooves restlessly because they heard the movement. But even with such an obvious warning gesture from the horse, the guy sitting in front of the campfire still seemed to be unconscious, holding a few large leaves in his hand, and was fanning the white smoke from the flame while singing a strange "song":

"OnlyYou - can accompany me to get the Western Scripture, OnlyYou - can subdue demons and monsters..."

Nata's brow furrowed, and after turning a giant tree, she suddenly slowed down quietly, and her steps instantly lightened. Then he leaped forward, and the figure disappeared silently behind the shadow of a bush.

At this time, she had already come to twenty meters behind the human who was barbecuing, and Nata believed that with her stealth skills, the other party would probably only think that there was some movement on his side at this time, and she would definitely not notice that she had come behind the other party.

Turning her gaze to the darkness in the distance, Nata breathed a sigh of relief—the steel-tailed leopard that had been chasing after her just now stopped, and the huge figure with its tail slightly cocked looked at the campfire and hesitated, its eyes wide as if searching for something. However, at this angle, Nata, Roddy, Campfire, and the Steeltail Leopard are exactly on the same straight line in order... So the leopard can see the bright flames first, and then the Roddy who is humming a song, and Nata's figure can't be found at all...

The large leopard was hunched down, and the feline's unique ambush posture proved that it did not give up its desire to attack, and it was clear that after losing Nata's target, its anger did not subside, but directly turned the target of prey to the humans in front of the fire.

The so-called "fear of fire" is just an instinctive fear, but the adult leopard is highly intelligent, and naturally will not be directly scared away like other animals - and it understands better: the "new prey" in front of it has no helper and no threat, it is simply as delicious as a lamb falling from the sky... You can't let go of what you say.

The decision was only a matter of moments, the steel-tailed leopard was an adult, and its physical strength, confidence, and strength were at absolute peak, so when it slowed down, sneaked into the shadows, and gradually reached the edge of the campfire's lighting range, it had already proved its determination to kill the human next.

So, on this quiet night, the wood elves and leopards, who had broken the silence, forced an unwarranted battle on the young man who was sitting in front of the campfire at this time to roast meat.

He didn't even have room to protest.

......

Roddy's mood at this time is actually quite subtle.

He had spent too much time in the forest, so the vigilance that he had never given up had made him realize the source of the sound early on. If it was in the past, I am afraid that the first time the voice appeared, I would have long ago said that I would have no matter who the other party was and how many arrows were fired.

But the reason why he hasn't done it now is because Roddy is high enough to not be afraid of all creatures within a radius of twenty miles, and second, because Roddy hears the light footsteps coming from the wood elves of the Silent Forest—and coincidentally, the mentor of Roddy is also from this race that lives in the forest.

Thinking that he would still deal with this race in the future, he didn't overreact.

But speaking of that "mentor", in fact, Luo Di and the other party have not met a few times, the old virgin who has always been cold-faced just assigned herself a promotion task and taught herself the most basic skills, and after her ranger level was promoted to level 30, she has never seen her again.

In my impression, the old virgin is as ignorant of anyone as Bing Cube, but now when I recall it, I realize that I have almost forgotten the other party's appearance.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Roddy listened to the footsteps gradually lowering in his ears, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart: it seemed that the wood elf couldn't handle the guy chasing him, so he could only run to the bonfire to divert his attention - he had no grievances and no hatred and became a "shield", which made Roddy inexplicably feel a sense of "destined to be lonely for a lifetime".

But he didn't complain too much, but he quickly made a decision in his heart: then this opportunity, pretend to be a **** in front of this wood elf, and then set up a trick with the other party - anyway, he will come in the future, first leave a "good impression", and brush up the "prestige" before talking!

Well, so happily decided!

Roddy tore off a chicken wing, blew it, opened his mouth to bite down on a piece of meat, seemed to think it tasted good, nodded, and... He bit the chicken wings and slowly stood up.

Twenty meters away, the leopard advancing in the shadows stopped, as if preparing for an explosion in the final attack.
