Section F, Chapter 28: Jumping (Cyberdart)

Quickly throwing out the leather whip, the elf fell a distance of about a position, and successfully hooked the target branch. Landing on the canopy of the tree with a somersault, the elf glanced at Aya as she ran wildly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: it seemed that the enemy had fled quite quickly. The knights behind seemed to have given up on such a swift pursuit, and all their hopes were on the two of us.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Ranger had to spread all his energy into two parts, keeping an eye on Aya's direction while using the help of the whip to stride from tree to tree. The calves, which were slightly stiff at first, gradually regained and burst out with their original stiffness: one of the elven rangers' proudest stunts is their nimble legs and strong foot strength. And Cyberdat is one of the most proficient in this.

The race run may only be inferior to some of the lighter Aya than the swallow...... Remembering the terrible memories of the near-defeat of any Ayya challenge, the elves kept picking up their pace, trying to put the mess behind them: there was a lot of time to remember, and I really thought that those friends could go back to Alloya's house to see them. But if you want to stumble here, you will die.

And most importantly, you'll be laughed at - who has ever heard of an elven ranger falling to his death from a tree? Presumably, it will be passed down through the ages, and will be sung every night by the minstrel of the tavern for the amusement of the people. But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt so moved that he almost laughed—it was all Lucina's fault for bringing him up. I used to be a very "serious" person.

Unlike crouching, elves deliberately step on branches covered with snow to keep the soles of their shoes lubricated. This makes it dangerous to jump and run on a tree branch, but it ensures maximum speed. As long as you use the leather whip to grasp the branches to adjust the center of gravity, it is not easy to lose your balance. Although he didn't know much about the boreal trees in the area, his long experience allowed him to accurately judge which branches were crunchy and too to tread. And which ones are the best places to stay.

It's harder than it sounds to be able to judge both the direction and the sturdy branch you want to jump to next time. Regardless of visibility in the dark - it is extremely difficult to tell with the naked eye whether the branches in front of you are really as strong as they look. Although Cyberdat himself does not know the specific basis for his judgment, he still relies on hundreds of years of physical experience and nerve reflex to do all this.

Already out of the white-lit area, the surroundings grew darker and darker, and even the Ranger struggled slightly to see Lusha clearly.

After a tense battle that lasted for several minutes without slowing down, the elf finally chased Aya to the edge of the woods. The trees here were noticeably thinner than they had just been, and Cyberdat had to move at high speed to make big strides and jumps. However, as the elf jumped over a gap up to four meters wide and hooked the branch with his whip, he was shocked to find that the enemy's footsteps suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of high-speed stamping in the opposite direction.

Does this guy want to go around in circles? Looks like we're underestimating his IQ...... With his whole body suspended in the air, the elf, who had no focus under his feet, had to sway his body as hard as he could, and with the help of his strength, he rolled backwards sharply, falling back to the branch where he had jumped.

After being carried by the enemy for dozens of meters to the east, Lusha suddenly turned back to the northeast. Constantly on the lookout for signs of the enemy's intention to attack Lusa, the elf couldn't help but reach behind his back and probe the quiver ready to help: there were only a few left, and he was always worried that he would let the arrows fall out of the quiver when he jumped up and down. However, no matter how sparse the space in the quiver is, this kind of thing rarely happens.

Is he trying to drain our physical strength and stun us in circles...... Speculating that the enemy had definitely discovered Lusa's intentions, Sebodatra lowered the slightly loose brim of his hat, and did not slack off at all in his feet: if Anusen and they also caught up, they could divide their troops into three ways at this joint and go in different directions to surround and intercept. Now the Corruptors are playing this trick on the advantage that we don't have reinforcements. This is simply a model of snobbery that cannot underestimate the enemy and underestimate the intelligence of the other party.

Just as the northward rush had lasted for a few seconds, the elf, who had been busy thinking about how to stop the enemy from stalling for more time, suddenly saw a light in his eyes: in the dense snow fog ahead, a figure suddenly staggered out of the shadows and flashed out of the bushes, blocking the monster's path a hundred meters away.

People who haven't seen it...... Who is this guy? At the moment when the question lingered in his mind, the comer suddenly raised his hand and threw something.

The roar of the wind rang out as violently as the Wind Shear, a powerful magic that manipulates razor-sharp air currents to slice through enemies, and the monster roared in excruciating pain. The man quickly flashed back into the bushes and threw the screeching thing again. It's just that this time the sound is obviously much more leisurely, unhurried.

Fearing to be hit again, the monster immediately turned back and ran in a southwestern direction. As the sound flew through the air, the Ranger took a surprised look: it seemed to be two throwing knives or short swords.

The guy managed to block an escape route...... Unexpectedly, there would be reinforcements deliberately blocking here, and Cyberdat immediately turned around and started running again. However, compared to Aya, whose physical strength is almost infinite due to the strong blood endurance, the elf has already shown a little fatigue, and his physical strength is slightly exhausted: he can barely keep up now, and he may be able to tell later. This has something to do with the fact that I haven't been very down-to-earth since I returned to Beihai. At that time, my mind was full of worries about Sister Aya, and I didn't have the heart to fall asleep.

Within three minutes, the high-speed enemy was rushing towards the avenue, trying to run into the southern woods and throw off the two. However, to the elf's surprise, there were not only two knights waiting to intercept them on the road—behind them stood dozens of guards in silver uniforms with spears in their hands.

In front of the guards, a bald man dressed as the captain gave a loud order in Brna for the soldiers to charge in the direction of Lusa's run. After a burst of imposing shouting, the warriors raised their weapons and rushed neatly and swiftly towards the woods.

Screaming frantically, the monster came to an emergency halt and turned to flee from the soldiers. The direction of the footsteps changed again, and they ran straight west. With an expression that she didn't expect to be like this, Lusha ran over her head and was almost thrown away by the monster.

Where did these men come from out of nowhere? They didn't even tell me a little bit of their plan! Annoyed, the elf adjusted his breathing and strode backwards.
