172.Chapter 172: The Last Demon Hunter (4)

For a while, the Wood Elves, the Mercenary Group and the Snake King Saga broke out in the forest in an unprecedented conflict. And in such a situation, the mercenaries are at an absolute disadvantage - the hidden arrows come from nowhere, and they are simply unguardable. And under such a rain of arrows, they have to face the wrath of the giant serpent...

In an instant, seven or eight more mercenaries died.

The flames erupted, and without any preparation, they directly showed the posture of being slaughtered, even if the huge snake head did not breathe fire, it was enough to kill the mercenaries who did not have long eyes, and the nearly forty mercenaries who came one after another couldn't even get close, and the arrows shot in a hurry couldn't pose any threat to it...

Brudy is not a cruel person, but at this time, seeing these humans being retributed, the "happiness" in his heart is more than "unbearable" after all - beside him, Lando has already approached with an original hunting team, and the wood elves on the side look worried, after all, this is the first time they have taken the initiative to attack humans.

For the Wood Elves, such behavior was already "radical", after all, they were peaceful and never willing to participate in a fight—but they had to obey the village chief's death order.

"Village Chief, the human race has completely lost the power to resist, and now..."

"Retreat, wait for the result here. ”

Brudy gives the order to Lando, who leaves. After a while, a team retreated to Brudy's side, many of these wood elves were young faces, it seemed that half of the village elves were involved in the battle, and even Hugo was following Nata's side - a total of eighty wood elves looked at the battle of the Sagas against the mercenaries in the distance, and their expressions were a little complicated... Some were afraid of the Sakya, and some were inexplicably excited by the attack on humans.

They knew that they still didn't understand why the village chief would give such a decisive order to do something to humans, because before that, the old elf had always advocated avoiding humans.

"Village Chief, why do you want to listen to that human?"

Lando finally couldn't hold back and asked all the elves what they wanted to ask. In their eyes, even if Roddy saved the village, he was a human after all, and he shouldn't have let the village chief be so obedient.

Brudy's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head and whispered, "His identity is not so simple... Speaking of which, it is not possible to identify him as a human being. ”

"What?"

Not only Lando, but all the wood elves who heard the news were stunned, and Nata quietly pricked up her ears - although her face was still cold, she was still concerned about this question... Although she was busy at the end of the night, she had been worrying about whether to learn archery with Roddy, and the biggest obstacle was Roddy's "human" identity.

Because of this concern, it was difficult for Nata to choose, but after Brudy said such words, she suddenly felt a little shaken in her heart. The village chief never talks nonsense... Isn't he human?

But before these wood elves could figure out the meaning of the village chief's words, the battle situation in the distance changed in an instant-

"Phew!"

The snake king Sakya, who was spewing flames, was suddenly hit in the jaw, and the strength was so strong that it raised its head straight up.

"Boom!"

Then an earth-shattering roar sounded, and the nearby trees shook neatly, and the shock wave even made the wood elves a hundred meters away feel the amazing wave of qi head-on...

What had just hit it was a wind cone and a fireball.

The head of the snake king Sakya was impacted, and his huge body immediately shrunk into a ball, and then hissed as if it was unharmed, looking for a target. The scattered mercenaries gradually formed a formation, and then a figure suddenly rushed out of it, holding an ice-blue long sword in his hand, and jumped up as fast as thunder, swinging his sword directly at the head of the snake!

This crazy and bold guy is the mercenary leader Kevin, and the snake king Sakya in front of him has no time to identify because he is blind, and he immediately slashes the head of the snake with a sword...

"Khooth!"

The huge anti-shock force caused Kevin's original sword to bounce off directly, and the long sword enchanted by the ice only left a faint trace on its head, obviously the opponent's skull was extremely hard - and if it didn't work, Sakya's counterattack came without hesitation, and the spurted flames and the volley of the snake tail directly blocked Kevin's dodge route!

He knew that the demonic beast in front of him was tricky, so he first jumped up again, dodging the volley that was about to tear the air, and then with a wave of the long sword in his hand, he suddenly released a "cold ice shield"!

The roaring flames were completely blocked by the shield, and Kevin continued to fight Sakya unscathed, no longer having the same lazy appearance as before, but laughing maniacally, "What a snake king—that's it!"

Then the scenery around his body was distorted with the condensation of the elements, and the ice-blue long sword suddenly swung, "booming" and slashing away the countless scales on Sakya's body, leaving a deep wound!

Advancing to level 24 of the "Demon Swordsman", elemental magic combined with strong physical attacks is enough for Kevin and Sakya to resist for several rounds without falling behind.

The wood elves in the distance, who had planned to retreat directly, were instantly stunned, they couldn't believe that a human could fight the snake king Sakya head-on, and even have an advantage...

The tide of battle was reversed in an instant, and the position of the wood elves immediately became delicate.

Brudy's brow furrowed. If it was according to his previous temperament, he would have chosen to take all the elves to retreat to the village immediately when he encountered such a situation in front of him—but the words of Roddy's previous warning echoed in his ears, and he didn't dare to leave directly like this...

"These mercenaries have only malice towards the Wood Elves, and there is no room for mediation. If they are not dealt with, sooner or later the village will suffer. ”

If it were the words of ordinary humans, Brudi would not take them so seriously. Think of the letter and the necklace that Roddy brought to him... He clenched his staff, knowing in his heart the choice before him... Only one remains.

"All forward!"

Brudy lifted his staff, took a deep breath, and gave the order in a loud voice that he had never imagined in his life: "Aim at those humans, prepare to shoot!"

When the rain of arrows suddenly poured down on the mercenary group and the snake king Sakya, Kevin, who had slashed several arrows with his long sword, narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, reaching out and turning out the scroll he was carrying...

"Since we have taken the initiative, let's solve it together. ”

Being sandwiched by the snake king Sakya and nearly a hundred wood elves, Kevin, who should have been shocked, showed a sneer full of murderous intent.

"Click. ”

At the same moment, Roddy, who rushed into the underground of the palace, finally followed the illusion that appeared again and found the door of the "Book Room" - it was said that it was the gate, but in fact, the entire "Book Room" was a secret room hidden in a wall, and from the outside, it was impossible to know where the entrance was. In the illusion, the Elven King reached out and flipped a switch under a sculpture, a flash of light flashed, and then the entire wall slowly opened to the side...

Roddy flicked the old switch, and the door slowly opened.

He was not surprised by this, but he was always thinking about the word "book room": the high elves' research on arcane art was almost crazy, and the results of this were also varied. There are many historical sources that bluntly comment that this race angered the gods because of the study of arcane to the extreme, and eventually led to the destruction of the entire race...

History is always written by the victors, and Roddy does not fully believe in such "historical materials", he only knows that the "book room" belonging to the royal family must be filled with countless precious books, and any one of them may be enough to become a priceless treasure in this era.

With this thought, Roddy raised his head - in reality, there was no movement inside the dark stone room, in order to prevent interference with the details of the illusion and causing the mission to fail, Roddy also closed the "Surrounding Character Status Bar", so at this time, in complete darkness, Roddy couldn't see the scene in the room in reality at all, but saw the scene in the illusion clearly-

But just in case, Roddy raised his hand and said, "Hlukji'smier!"

The ring's light lit up, so that he could see both the chaotic "Book Room" in reality, and the illusion of Dukal and Abaddon walking in.

Raising his legs over the corpses that had been decomposing for hundreds of years, Roddy slowly raised his head - the room in the illusion was surrounded by bookshelves filled with books and books that were invaluable even at the time, the tables and chairs around him were delicate and luxurious, the ground beneath his feet was images from the epic tales of the High Elves, and the ceiling above his head was pure black and adorned with twinkling stars.

Dukar gently carried Princess Eve to the book room, King Abaddon walked to a long stone table, raised his hand and twisted a mechanism, the stone table slowly opened from the middle, and after the arcane lock cylinders opened, dozens of tome books stored inside...

"At the end of the day, it's these things that ruin us. ”

As the last king, there was only bitterness in the high elf's tone at this time, he shook his head, and when he raised his hand, the invisible force grabbed the books that represented the pinnacle of arcane research in the air, and then threw them all on the stone floor beside him with a wave of his hand.

Books that were priceless were now no different from trash in Abaddon's eyes.

Dukal silently placed Princess Eve's body on the stone table, stretched out his hand, gently arranged Princess Eve's slightly messy silver hair, and ran his fingertips across her perfect and delicate face, he could see what he wanted to say, but in the end he pursed his lips, silently took out a strangely shaped leather book from his arms, and slowly placed it beside Eve.

"Dukal, this is not going to end easily. ”

The High Elf King watched his movements, and there were some indescribable mixed emotions in his tone, unable to tell whether it was regret or sighing, "Since we touched the limits of the arcane, we should have expected this day to come... Those orcs, those strange powers, would never have been acquired by themselves, you shouldn't have stayed here with me, you could-"

"I can't beat them right now. ”

The demon hunter raised his head, and a pair of snake eyes emitted a faint red light, "But that doesn't mean it won't work in the future... I leave the legacy of the power here, and one day there will be successors who will acquire it, know it, and understand all the missions of this power. ”

Roddy opened his mouth slightly, he had never thought that there seemed to be some extremely high-level power involved behind the "Demon Hunter" - but just as he waited for Dukal to say the rest of the words, the slight movement in his ears made his hairs stand on end...
