Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 163 - A Stunning Blow (Part II)

If any of these wood elves really didn't despise Roddy, apart from Nata, only Hugo remained.

At this time, both of them looked at Roddy - Nata's gaze was rarely a little hot, and even undisguised anticipation; Hugo, on the other hand, was oozing cold sweat on his forehead, and when his eyes met Roddy, he only felt that the clothes on his back were sticking to his body.

Lando frowned when he saw Nata's reaction, and when he saw Roddy in her gaze, he immediately snorted disdainfully, he only felt that Nata was really boring, and he would care about such a human who didn't know the height of the sky.

But when the birds streaked across the sky and the herds of beasts that followed them, they had no time to think about others.

"Ready to fight"

Brudy's unusually loud voice sounded, and he himself stood on a high platform in front of the entrance of the village, with a wooden staff in his hand slightly raised, and next to him were seven or eight of the strongest hunters in the village - at this time, the village seemed to be a little chaotic, and the women and children who did not participate in the battle were trying to carry arrows, but more could only prepare to escape...

It's just that these remaining Wood Elves are not as agile as veteran hunters, and they are no different from helpless human farmers - the hollowed out trees are simply not able to withstand any strong impact, and once the beast tide floods into the village, they can sit back and wait for the tree holes to hide, and at this time, because of the existence of the Wall of Thorns, the Wood Elves have no way out

The sudden disaster left the unprepared village in a desperate situation.

In the distance, there was the muffled sound of trees being knocked off... After the density of the beast herd was too high, many beasts with low physical strength could not avoid it, and many of them just crashed into the trees and died, but those powerful and powerful beasts among them really advanced all the way, and ordinary trees could not stop them at all

The mighty beast tide was already approaching, and the front line that first rolled like a black wave approached a distance of 100 meters, and then it seemed to sweep around the entire village of Elsa in the blink of an eye—

The first to hit the village were not so large beasts, but tens of thousands of rodents

At this moment, the village of Elsa, protected by the "Wall of Thorns", was like a reef against the waves - the thorns as hard as steel made the small creatures in the front of the beast tide collectively go around to the sides, and the hundreds of wood elves all held short bows, but none of them shot arrows. They watched the small creatures on the ground hula rush to both sides, and they all had a creepy feeling in their hearts...

How much does this have to be?

Rats, rabbits, hedgehogs, snakes... Mixed with all kinds of invisible, innumerable creatures, at first they could still run away on both sides of the "Wall of Thorns", but when the density of the beast tide gradually increased, those who had no time to turn could only crash to death on the Wall of Thorns because they had no way to go

A hissing sounded, and the thorn bushes in front of the village were suddenly filled with broken corpses.

The smell of blood mixed with the dirt flooded up, but the wood elves who raised their bows and stood still did not move, frowning and looking ahead.

When the herd of wild boars in the rear crashed into Elsa's village like crazy, Brudy, who had not spoken, finally raised his wooden staff and shouted loudly: "Raise the bow"

Ninety-eight Wood Elf hunters aimed their arrows at the front at the same time.

In the loud noise and smoke, swarms of wild boars, badgers, and wild wolves rushed towards the village unstoppably, rampage but completely unrecognizable...

"Put"

As Brudy shouted, the Wood Elves finally struck.

Nearly 100 arrows suddenly rose up and landed on the ground 100 meters in front of the village with a graceful parabola, bringing a large scream in an instant.

The archery skills of the wood elves are not at all comparable to ordinary humans - the arrows that fall in the distance almost all hit the target, and the dozen or so wild boars running towards the village in the middle instantly became a bunch of hedgehogs

Precise strikes on 100 meters, this is the capital of the wood elves to survive in the forest.

Under such a powerful attack, the beast tide instantly appeared empty, as if this huge impact had been cut off by life. However, as the beast tide continued to surge, the corpses that had been shot to death were trampled into meat sauce by the other creatures rushing from behind almost in the blink of an eye...

"Free fire stops all the animals that storm the village"

Chief Brudy gripped the wooden staff and with a flick of his hand, the three boars were entangled in place by the vines that suddenly grew from below the ground—and without any other spells, the boar was knocked to the ground by the animals behind them, and then stepped into the dirt...

The hum of the bowstring through the air echoed through Elsa's village, and arrows slanted forward, aiming at first, but as time passed, the elves found themselves simply shooting arrows in front of them

There are too many, and the vision in front of Elsa's village has been completely swallowed up by all kinds of beasts

"Bah, Bah, Bah"

It was the sound of animals crashing against the thorn bushes, and the thick wall of thorns gave the elves a great sense of security at this time, and even made them feel more relaxed, because the wild boars could not pose any threat to the shield.

As time passed, the tension seemed to ease. Compared to them, Roddy had no sense of existence at all: because he didn't make a move from beginning to end, just holding the short bow and frowning ahead, his eyes flickering and not knowing what he was thinking.

Three minutes after the beast tide impacted, the overall strength had begun to weaken, and the elves cheered, naively thinking that everything was over...

But the worry in Luo Di's heart at this time was heavier than ever.

He knew very well that there would never be only such a short wave of beast tides, and that there would definitely be higher-level and stronger creatures behind them - but that wasn't the point, the point was that the geographical location of Elsa's village determined that the number of beasts encountered here would be greater than elsewhere

Because of the activities of the wood elves, some trees have been cut down nearby, but this just makes the direction of the beast tide surging subtlely, and the beast tide creatures can't be seen when they are small, but if the "big guys" come, they will involuntarily gather towards Elsa Village because of the changes in the terrain and trees... At that point, the pressure here is absolutely unimaginable

Luo Di knew exactly what large creatures were in the Silent Forest, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately made a decision, grabbed the [Ice Crystal Thorn] in his arm, bent down and began to rummage through his bags. And the way he pouted and bent over like this was so funny that a few elves who turned their heads to look at him couldn't help but point.

The first wave of beasts weakened, and the pressure on the wood elves was greatly reduced, and at this time, one by one they were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. And Lando, who easily solved seven wild boars and a wild wolf, even joked with Nata next to him: "Heh, it usually takes a lot of effort to find these prey, but now it's just shooting a target, I'm afraid the whole village will not be short of meat this winter." ”

Nata shot an arrow, glancing at Lando and not responding.

Lando felt that he had put on a good show in front of Nata today, and his mood was much better because of Roddy's appearance, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Roddy's funny appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, this human is really interesting." ”

Hearing this, Nata immediately turned her head, but there was no ridicule in her eyes... She knew how terrible Roddy's skills were, so she never had the idea of wanting to see his jokes, the only thing she had was a little unspeakable anticipation.

But at this time, she was also vaguely curious: what did Roddy want?

It wasn't long before Nata saw him dig through his bag for a few arrows - compared to those in his quiver, the arrows in Roddy's hand seemed to be thicker and had some strange patterns on the surface.

"Is this guy a fool? Don't you know that you can't change arrows when you are in battle? ”

Lando looked at Roddy, the mockery in his tone undisguised... However, his words are not wrong, "arrows" want consistency, the hardness, winding, length, weight, and center of gravity of all arrows The smaller the error, the more conducive to the stable play of the shooter, no shooter will want the arrows in the quiver to be different.

There are also wood elves who noticed Roddy's actions, and naturally gave a similar evaluation to Lando, obviously Roddy has completely become the spokesperson of "rookie" and "idiot" in their eyes.

However, this leisure was only fleeting, and when there was a deeper and deeper muffled sound from the gradually thinning beast tide in front of them, the brows of the wood elves furrowed again...

Elk, hulking brown bears, steel-tailed leopards, and even two-horned rhinoceros slammed through the dust raised by the beasts before, and dozens of them rushed straight towards Elsa Village

"Don't waste your arrows and shoot all the beasts that come towards the village, and don't bother on either side."

Brudy's face changed drastically, and the wooden staff in his hand continued to cast spells, but the beast in front of him was extremely heavy, and the speed of the rush was terrifying, and the vines that could bind the wild boar at will just now were completely useless, at most it only slowed down the elk's forehead slightly.

However, there was more bad news: when the wood elves looked ahead, they found that the group of behemoths had gathered slightly due to the terrain and the orientation of the woods, and as Roddy had expected, most of them were rushing towards the village

The elves have nothing else to do at this point... Their faces tensed, and one by one they frantically poured arrows at these beasts, and the rainstorm blow was even stronger than before

Although the brown bear has rough skin and thick flesh, it can't stand more than ten arrows in its head, and finally falls to the ground with a wail; But several huge elk were not affected at all because of the shield-like fan-shaped antlers on their heads, and they broke through the "cordon" of fifty meters with dense arrows, and inevitably crashed into the thorn bushes

"Crunch—"

The thorn bush suffered an unprecedented impact, but it did not collapse under Brudy's hard support - his face was covered in sweat, his wooden staff had turned almost pure green, and the veteran hunters beside him shot down the elk at close range, but as soon as they fell, the two-horned rhinoceros following behind them was no longer able to stop it, and it crashed straight into the front of the "Wall of Thorns".

"Boom"

The thorn bushes, which were as hard as hard iron, directly receded, and the original protruding arc was almost directly destroyed by the rhinoceros that had no way out

Brudy stumbled and nearly fell off the platform. But then he slapped the wooden staff hard, and tried his best to repair the thorny wall that protected the elves again...

The impact of the rhinoceros was so strong that the vibration even caused the nearby trees to shake in unison, and the two elves failed to stand firm and fell, and one fell outside the thorn bush, and was drowned by the roaring beast tide in an instant...

Brudy's face turned almost purple, and he shouted, "Kill the rhinoceros or it will break the line"

As soon as the words fell, the rhinoceros fell to the ground with a "clang" - its head was pierced by an arrow, shot through its left ear, and its right chin pierced through and directly destroyed the brain, killing it on the spot.

The elves breathed a sigh of relief, but no one knew who had shot the arrow, because there was a rare herd of deer in front of the village, and they didn't even have time to search for the instigator of the arrow.

The "Wall of Thorns" had been badly damaged, but the crisis did not give them any time to rest - when the deer herd left behind a large number of corpses, the sound of footsteps in the distance made the faces of nearly 100 elves bloodless in an instant.

The third wave of beasts was led by a giant elephant in bone armor, and it happened to be rushing straight towards this place

The four-meter-tall Bone Armor Giant Elephant has never been something that elves dare not provoke, because no Wood Elf has ever been able to break through the perverted bone armor defenses on its surface head-on

To add insult to injury, half of the young elves who have barely stopped shooting from the beginning to the present can't even pull their bows after such physical exertion.

Brudy's eyes widened in despair, but he also understood: "The Wall of Thorns" has no effect on the bone armored giant elephant at all, and Elsa's village has been destroyed by the beast tide... It's no longer inevitable

He tugged at his beard fiercely, and his heart was extremely painful, but he could only turn his head and shout to the helpless women and children in the village: "Get out of here and hide in a distant tree."

This is the best way to save the life of the wood elves today.

In the desperate cries of Brudy, the wood elves finally understood that nothing could be done, and they gave up their resistance, turned around and climbed towards the trees on both sides - but although they retreated resolutely, the unwillingness on the faces of each elf could not be concealed...

No one wants to give up their homeland, let alone watch it be destroyed in front of them

They wanted to go back and continue to fight to protect the village, but each of them knew that the bone armored giant elephant in front of them could not be defeated at all.

However, at this moment, a sudden flash of blue light made these wood elves who gritted their teeth and retreated...

In the field of vision, the human who had been ridiculed and despised by them raised the short bow in his hand, and the left hand holding the bow flashed with a swirling blue magic pattern. With his right hand raised, he quietly placed a long arrow covered with lines on the arrow platform, pointing far ahead...

The Wood Elves were completely stunned: Is this human too difficult to attack the Bone Armored Giant Elephant?
