Chapter 8: Night Run One
"Elven archery?"
When the cavalry surrounding Shen Yan dispersed, the captain of this safari team rode his horse close to Shen Yan and asked in a casual tone when he "passed by".
The elven race uses bows and arrows in a very different way than other races due to their natural lack of strength - other races rely on arm strength and waist strength to open their bows, while elves rely on core strength. Therefore, when other races open a hard bow, it gives people the feeling of being strong and powerful! And the elves opened the bow...... It always feels like dancing. Because using core strength requires unparalleled physical coordination, something that only elves are born with among the major races.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, everyone assumes that elven archery requires elven bloodline to be cast.
Now it has appeared in a human, and this is what surprises the captain of the hunting team, Mitchell - he is a steppe elf, an officer with unparalleled archery skills, and he is in charge of a 400-elf archery brigade. He served as a safari captain only part-time, and half of the safari team was drawn from his brigade.
"Elven archery!" Shen Yan nodded naturally, picking his hair to reveal his pointed ears. "I'm an elf."
I always feel like the world is quiet......
Mitchell looked like he wanted to say something, and finally rode away. "Cut off the head and give it to the emperor!" He shouted. "Yes!" A large group of people rode towards the corpses of the demons all over the ground, as if they were about to flee from Shen Yan's side.
"What's wrong with them? Is it weird that I'm an elf? "Shen Yan spread his hands, obviously he had a good chat just now, but suddenly he was not a fan, I was very disappointed!
Hey, I actually have a joke......
Shandy, who was also melancholy, walked over and formed the lost duo. "Stop shouting, they don't want to pay attention to you...... Because you've lowered the bar of elves - honestly, I'd put up with it if you were human, but I've never seen such an ugly elf! ”
So that's the case?
I'm really ...... about this face-watching world That's great!
Shen Yanmei thought to herself—you know, if two poor people sit together and discuss the matter of starvation, they will naturally feel desolate and miserable...... But if one of the poor people is a billionaire in real life...... Of course, oh hahaha~
"That's right! Hahaha~ It's so ugly! Haha~ I usually look in the mirror, and I can't help but pump myself, hahaha......"
Shandi squinted at Shen Yan, is there something wrong with you?
How did I suddenly feel a.
*****
Before the actual battle, a formal flag sacrifice ceremony is still required, which is one of the goals of the scattered safari teams. They need to kill enough demons and bring their heads back to burn them to the gods in front of thousands of troops...... It is said to give the recruits courage.
Who knows? Anyway, the real hunters regard this as showing off their achievements. Therefore, everyone is actively taking action, slashing the head of the demon with the axe they brought...... For a while, the scene was very bloody.
"Do you need it? I don't think you have an axe. One of the rangers offered to hand over a single axe, and as he spoke, he was carrying three demon heads in his hand.
It's not that you can't accept him as a person, it's just that you can't accept that Shen Yan is an elf—when you think that he's an elf, you can't look directly at that face—you have ruined all my beautiful fantasies about elves!
But as a teammate, Shen Yan is definitely the best.
"Do you really have to chop it up yourself?" Shen Yan's question caused a burst of laughter. Well, he was really speechless about this tradition, but no one would touch other people's spoils, and every head had to be chopped off by the hands of the killer...... Shen Yan's most unlucky point was that he had killed ten of them!
"I'm a psychopathic murderer!" Ten heads will be chopped off, Shen Yan whipped a bloody axe and let out a savage roar at the crowd of onlookers, and the guys who wanted to see him make a fool of themselves scattered in a hurry - and then he received the nickname "Elf Murderer......
Fake, Shen Yan's left hand touched the demon's body, and the demon's chest was like a sharp cut, and the cut part was like fresh fish meat. He searched for it and took out a jewel-like drop of blood from the two halves of his heart—the essence condensed into the demon after his death, and this was the most valuable part of the demon's body. Using this instead of Demon Blood to configure the "Demonic Elixir" can increase the success rate by 3 to 5 points.
"What is this?" Captain Mitchell asked.
"Magic materials." Shen Yan took out a glass bottle, and the blood beads made a "ding" sound when they were thrown into it. "Can you do me a favor? Please help me take out these blood beads that exist in the hearts of the demons, and I will buy them with each hardware coin. ”
"So expensive?" Mitchell had no doubts about the mage's collection of materials, the mage was such a quirky fellow. But the purchase price gave him a great sense of surprise, didn't that mean that a single encounter could bring in hundreds of gold coins?
By the time we got back on the road when we were done, everyone was smiling.
Shen Yan's acquisition did not refuse, he seemed to have endless gold coins, and in a short time, everyone's pockets were clanging. Now the forwards are starting to look at Shen Yan unpleasantly...... The demons he killed accounted for one-third of the total, which was fifty gold coins! Damn capitalists! Therefore, when he tried to get to the battle team again, he was naturally pushed away with a smile.
"Mud Song Kai! Don't come to grab the coins! ”
There was no choice but to retract back to the tail of the team.
Sandy looked at the vial of blood, his expression indescribable—he was more and more sure in his heart that Shen Yan was the Ash One...... For a hundred years, it is not only the Constance family who has died to fight the demons, but the glory has gone to Constance.
When the team left this killing area, Shen Yan snapped his fingers behind him, causing more than thirty demon corpses to turn into ashes one after another!
Can't afford to waste......
*****
The so-called "don't come to grab gold coins" is, of course, just talk, war is not an outing, there is no room for jokes.
As the sun was about to set, the hunt team had just completed their third hunt.
The glow of the setting sun shone through the mountains and forests on their bloodstained bodies, and the morale of the team was a little low...... Even Shen Yan's gold coins didn't make them feel better. In this area of mixed forests and mountains, the number of demons is somewhat staggering. Thinking of the various prophecies about this demon tide, it makes people's hearts become heavier and heavier.
Any speculation and imagination is not as clear as personal experience, which makes people more aware of the menacing nature of this magic tide.
Hundreds of demon heads were cut off and hung on horses, and five members of the hunting party went to eternal sleep, and the rest were almost all wounded. Even Sandy had a bandage around his thigh, and he was scratched hard by the devil's claws. Captain Mitchell's arms were hung from his chest with a few straps, and he was almost on the verge of becoming a one-armed hero......
"Light the torches and go back to the fortress." Mitchell commanded simply.
Although there is still light in the forest on the top of the mountain, the valley is already as dark as ink, and night has fallen early.
When the group of people and horses rushed into the darkness, the forest behind them suddenly lit up with a bright green light.
