Behind Roddy, Nata, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to leave directly, but seeing the appearance of this human figure without realizing it, she only felt that it was a little unreasonable if the other party was so killed. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally raised her short bow and slowly pulled the bowstring, aiming the arrow at the leopard's pupils that loomed in the darkness.

Nata's plan was simple: take advantage of this opportunity to shoot the leopard to death, and then turn around and walk away... Anyway, prey is everywhere, and the skin and flesh of the leopard are cheaper than this human... It can be regarded as a reward for saving his life for this bonfire.

She thought so in her mind, but her fingers that were about to release the bowstring suddenly froze in the next moment...

Nata's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly widened - in the field of vision, the human with chicken wings in his mouth actually picked up a short bow from his side very casually, and his right hand had already grabbed two arrows at some point!

Stand up, turn around, and when you raise your bow, the arrow is already on the bow window... His movements are casual and fluid, without the slightest feeling of stiffness.

At the moment when the leopard suddenly burst out, the short bow supported by the human in his left hand had been pulled into a full moon.

The steel-tailed leopard roared and rushed out of the shadows, its muscles tensed, and it rushed out three steps and jumped up!

Nata's eyes widened and she looked ahead, what was happening in the lightning was so fast that all the images left in her eyes were afterimages...

The silhouette of the human in the firelight did not make any unnecessary movements, but the right hand brought out two phantoms one after another in the wave.

The vibration of the bowstring was negligible, but the leopard's screams came to an abrupt end.

As if time stood still, the human body with the bow turned to the side, narrowly passing the beast that might have smashed directly into his chest. After the leopard's huge and bloody body flew over, this guy actually reached out and pinched the chicken wings that he had been holding in his mouth, and continued to chew with his mouth moving...

Such a gesture seemed unbelievable to Nata, as he was ready to sit down and continue eating after shooting two arrows in his hand.

"Plop—"

When the leopard fell to the ground, Roddy had already turned around and continued to stir the roast chicken above the campfire as if nothing had happened, sprinkling some salt with him, and whispering words like "It seems to be a little light".

The "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning makes the atmosphere seem more and more silent, but this "quiet" carries an inexplicable and strong chill in Nata's eyes... Her eyes fell on the leopard, and the bowstring in her hand was carefully retracted.

Nata's movements were slow, as if she was afraid of making a noise—she didn't want to believe it, but the fact that lay out in front of her had an unimaginable impact on her young mind.

At this moment, the leopard that had chased her to a desperate situation was lying not far in front of her, and the warm corpse had completely stopped moving. If you look closely, you will see that this guy, who is much larger than Roddy, has been hit by an arrow in each eye, and he is lying there as if he has a pair of horns on his head...

Nata witnessed the whole process of its shooting up close, and the more she recalled that moment, the more she felt a sense of oppression that bordered on suffocation. In the tribe, although her talent is not the highest, it is also at the middle and upper level, but after comparing the archery skills she was once proud of with the person in front of her, she couldn't help but feel "ashamed" in her heart, and the eternally frozen cheeks rarely showed a trace of depression.

Inexplicably unable to hit the prey, inexplicably chased by a leopard, and at this time inexplicably by a human who came out of nowhere with terrible archery to hit his self-esteem, this night for Nata... It's been a long time.

The human not far away hummed a song, took out a knife from the baggage and divided the chicken, and ate it with relish, as if there was no difference between killing the head of the steel-tailed leopard just now and picking its teeth. Nata felt that her legs were a little inexplicably weak, because of the stimulation of the scene just now, she had a sense of weakness like prostration, but after all, she remembered that she was a wood elf, and she still had a hunting mission with her, and she knew in her heart that leaving early was the right choice.

The human beings in front of him are very powerful, even to the point where Nata needs to look up, but Nata doesn't need to have anything to do with humans after all. Thinking so, Nata also had an impulse in her heart - she wanted to remember the face of this human, at least next time if she had the opportunity to meet her, she would never conflict with the other party.

There were no other thoughts left in her heart, she raised her eyes, but she saw that the other party tilted his head slightly, as if he glanced at this side inadvertently...

Nata lowered her head almost immediately, avoiding eye contact with the other.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting her state, Nata had an inexplicable illusion: the other party knew about her existence from beginning to end, but she didn't bother to point it out.

“Ol＇kla。 ”

As soon as Nata thought of this, the human not far away said something, and the voice was not small - she instinctively glanced at the bonfire in front of her, but found that the figure that was sitting there was actually ...

Gone.

Suddenly, my heart stopped for half a beat, and a premonition of extreme danger appeared in my mind. She turned around and was about to flee into the distance, but as soon as she took a step, she tripped under her feet for no reason, and her whole body fell forward uncontrollably!

Nata felt like she was going crazy because she didn't see any obstacles under her feet!

It wasn't some accident or mistake, she knew that she might have been plotted - under the turn of her mind, she was about to kick a step and roll out, but as soon as the outstretched left foot tried to exert force, a foot suddenly appeared next to her and kicked her calf just right...

"Ahh

In the next second, Nata, who was rushing forward, completely kicked into the air, and her whole body lost all her borrowing points, fluttering in the air and falling to the ground with her hands and feet, looking like a dehydrated fish with an inexplicable sense of joy.

But before she could hit the ground, the belt around her arms and waist was grabbed by hands that stretched out out of nowhere in the dark, and then she was thrown out of the way.

The scenery was spinning, but Nata breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The Wood Elf naturally has a sense of balance similar to that of a cat, so the moment she was thrown, she began to adjust her center of gravity, and when she landed on the solid ground, her whole body had already twisted from the rotation and stood still.

But Nata's heart felt more and more strange, because she vaguely felt... The other party seems to have done this on purpose.

Glancing around, Nata found herself standing next to the campfire, the flame burning quietly, the orange light reflected Nata's face, and knowing that the short bow in her hand was useless, she immediately threw it aside, pulled out the dagger at her waist, and prepared to fight or escape.

The next moment, in the shadows in front of him, a slightly playful voice gradually came.

"Lure a leopard over, but you want to leave without even saying hello? Hey, the wood elves are really-"

In the dark, Roddy stepped out, the "pretending" on his face couldn't be beaten anymore, and the pure wood elf language in his mouth stunned Nata... But halfway through the conversation, when Roddy saw the face of the wood elf in front of the campfire, his words were stuck in his throat -

"No," his tone became hesitant, "It can't be such a coincidence..."

Luo Di stopped, his eyes widened, and he looked directly at the tall wood elf girl in front of him, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", and his face showed a complicated expression that could not be said whether it was emotion or helplessness, and then coughed dryly, and asked in a low voice: "Guide-oh, no... You're not yet... Ahem, are you- Nata?"

At this time, Nata was ready to deal with all contingencies, and even thought of the "worst outcome" after defeat. But her imagination was exhausted, but she couldn't understand why there was such a situation in front of her: a human she had never seen before actually said his real name in standard Wood Elf language!

Nata began to wonder if she was in the midst of a nightmare that she couldn't get rid of.

She looked at Roddy with an indifferent face, looking very calm, but in fact, her heart had already become a mess, and Nata suddenly felt that she was not going to stay either... Thousands of question marks in my heart finally turned into a sentence-

"Who the hell is this human in front of you?"

"Uh... It's supposed to be you, long time no see--no... Actually, we haven't met yet, so now it's the first time we've met. ”

Roddy completely pretended to be defeated, at this time, there was no more idleness just now, his expression was embarrassed to lower his head, and he took a few steps towards Nata, but when he saw the other party's vigilant retreat, he remembered that this was the first time he had met the other party, so he said: "My name is Roddy, scout, from the Rusiflon family." ”

He took out an emblem and shook it in front of the other party, and the wood elf Nata looked at him, still without any expression or response, but the dagger in his hand moved slightly downward.

After saying this, Luo Di looked at the wood elf girl in front of him, his gaze was a little direct - Nata glanced at him, but felt that the other party's gaze did not have any "consideration" or "coveting" meaning, more than that, it was an inexplicable emotion.

"Huh... It's still the same, with a cold face, and doesn't like to talk like an iceberg. ”

Roddy shook his head and sighed to himself.

I really don't know how I can catch up so coincidentally, the wood elf girl in front of me who looks like a girl is his "ranger" mentor in the game!

Because the blood of the wood elves is similar to that of humans, the lifespan is only slightly longer than that of humans, and the appearance is similar to that of humans, but they are a mixed-race race with blood relations with high elves, so most of them have the common characteristics of elves: handsome men and beautiful women. In Roddy's memory, he chose the advanced profession when he was in the third year of the Ripping Ground service, when he found the "Iceberg Mentor" in the Wood Elf Village of the Silent Forest, and since then he has embarked on the path of a ranger.

The last time they met was in 596 in the Elonian calendar, when they were already the first ranger hunter in the Wood Elf village. Her strength is not very strong, but she did not continue to cultivate after crossing the level 30 threshold, and in Luo Di's impression, she is just a mentor-type NPC.

He and Nata have only spoken formally ten times, and in Roddy's mind, Nata is just a symbol, representing the "mentor", as for the other party's appearance... In his impression, the pretty face was almost a mask, and he had never seen any other expressions at all. At first, he thought that this mentor was not smiling, but later he only wondered if she had facial paralysis, or how could she not show any other expression for several years?

So in Luo Di's heart, the other party is really a "three-no" iceberg, and there is no way to communicate at all.

At this time, he suddenly met the other party, even though Nata was still young at this time, but looking at the other party's expression similar to the relief, Luo Di thought about it, and felt that no matter how much he said, he probably wouldn't be interested in the other party.

He coughed twice and said, "That... You play with yours, say hello to the village chief of Brudy for me, and say that the scorpion king named Heji or something in the upper reaches of the village was killed by me, and the poison sac was sold to Kiger Town, and that what- ahem, I'll withdraw first, goodbye, good night. ”

With that, he packed up in front of Nata, leaving the steel-tailed leopard corpse behind, babbling some of Nata's doubtful words... Let's go.

"I'll go to your village when I'm free, that... Just don't shoot me then. ”

The three horses were led by Roddy and disappeared into the night, and Roddy's words echoed through the forest, gradually disappearing.

Nata, who was standing in front of the campfire, looked at the fading backs of the other party, her standing figure never moved, and her expression did not even change - but when she could no longer hear the sound of the horse's hooves, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground as if paralyzed......
