Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
12o Surrey, southeast of the green capital, there is a hill formed by geological changes, although it is not high, but you can still see a large woodland from the top.
As Ramsile's rescue team was looking down with the King of Unicorns, Hora turned to ask "How do you know that there will be a slave catcher retreating from here?" There are traces left by humans everywhere in the forest, but most of them are misleading forgeries, and if you misjudge, the chances of finding them again are slim. β
"Remember the rainforest cat I just rescued that was caught by a carnivorous vine, and it sued me. β
Hora was surprised, there were other wisdom magic beasts in the Tia Forest, could it be that the Flame Mage's investigation was wrong, and he hurriedly asked, "What did the rainforest cat say?"
Ramsile's face was stern, "It said: Meowβ"
The cold wind blew, and the elves shivered in unison. Hora stared at Ramsel for a long time: "Elves have a special sense of humor. β
The rangers in the back burst into tears, friend, and this is definitely not Tia's humor.
"Well, it's a trap that has been prepared for a long time. As long as the slave catchers retreat eastward, they will now have a few clean springs on the road, there will be fewer old vines and carnivorous plants in the way, and the ground will be drier and easier to walk......"
"It's all made for elves?"
"Well, we're also planting some plants along the way that point out the direction, and of course they're specially cultivated. The more experienced the slave hunters, the more likely they are to be misled and eventually converge on this area. β
The layout of wisdom, the unicorn admires, even without the druid, the forest is the home of the elves. Hora looked into the distance, her front hooves paused, and the invisible spell-like spells spread out in all directions.
[Detect Evil], an adult unicorn can cast this type of spell in any position, an unlimited number of times. However, the aura of the faction will be blocked by the dense forest, so you have to stand high to see the evil red aura coming through the leaves.
"See, 19 evil ones are marching outside of us 2o Surrey. But detect evil and can't see your fellow man. As he spoke, he drew a line of slave catchers on the ground over and over again. β
The recruits came over to look at it and said in surprise: "Scatter the formation?
"If you don't disperse, you are looking for death, the enemy has his own way, I want to meet an acquaintance, I hope to gouge out his other eye. β
"One-eyed Ush!" the recruit was surprised.
"You know him?" said Ramsile, a little surprised.
"Of course. The recruit gritted his teeth, "one of my cousins who was a ranger was caught by the executioner, hanged himself from a tree branch, and gouged out his left eye. Ush was more brutal than the average slave hunter, preferring to kill the hostages rather than be rescued. β
"It's good that you know, you can't attack without my orders. β
When the rangers lurked near the slave catchers, they immediately understood their formation and secretly cursed shameless and despicable.
Nicknamed One-Eyed, Ush walked in the center of the formation, carrying an elf anesthetized by potion on his back, and two shield-wielding guards were close to him. The other humans travel in groups of two, and the groups of three travel in dispersion, like the three corners of an equilateral triangle.
Each group carried a sack, and it was difficult to tell if it was an elf or not. A string stretched out from the waist of the two people carrying the sack and connected it to the sack, and the most maddening part was that the sack was written in Tiyan language: There is fire oil, pull the rope, and the elf is dead.
The task of the rangers is to rescue, and if you want to rescue them, it is best to sneak attack silently. And the one-eyed Ush is specifically about this point in the formation of formation. If you want the elves on the back of Jiuwush, you must first deal with the three groups of people around you, and the sack that is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake is connected to the rope with flint, and it is pulled as soon as it is pulled. In this way, it is impossible to snipe silently, and the rangers cannot take risks in the face of the infamous Ush.
Just shoot the rope and then kill again, the recruit is confident that he has such a bow skill. His arm with the arrow was caught, and Ramsile's eyes were grim to emphasize the command.
"Observe, it is necessary to determine which sack has compatriots in it. β
Ush stuck out his tongue, his moist, chapped lips, and his only eye glistened. He has been crawling in the forest for 2o years, and apart from the old immortal pike, he is almost the longest slave catcher. As a profession with a high mortality rate and a high rate of return, each slave hunter has its own recipe for survival. The pike relied on cunning, and Ush clung to cruelty, without which he would be just like any other mediocre fellow.
Now, his intuition told him that the pointy-ears had revealed themselves, hidden behind the shadowy clusters of leaves. But so what, they didn't dare to make a move. It's these guys...... Ushi turned his head to look to the side, his own team was only 9 people, and the other team of 1o people was very different from them.
The leader of that team was a big bald man, also known as Bald Head. His secret is to be cheeky, and when he shows his sack formation, he sticks it to his dead face. Even when he showed his weapon, he laughed sheepishly. The bald head also caught two slaves, so he carried them directly.
One-eyed pondered, and when it was time to set up camp, he would find a way to put some medicine in his diet and snatch the goods.
Ush led the two teams across a small stream, the ground was muddy but the terrain was open, and the elves had to distance themselves if they wanted not to be exposed.
Just as he was triumphant, the lightning of his mind ran through his brain, and Ush now made a fatal mistake himself, the mud at the water's edge was softer, and an experienced ranger could judge the contents of the sack from the depth of his footprints. Cold sweat slid down his forehead, what if the ranger didn't show up......
Ush immediately made a decision, hoping for luck in the Tiya Forest was to seek death. "Enemy attack! Smoke!"
"It's all fake, shoot!"
Ramesile's order was a step later than Ush's. Humans pull ropes, flints in sacks rub together, and sparks come into contact with sulfur and other flammable materials, spewing out large amounts of pungent smoke. The arrow fired at Ush passed through his left cheek due to the distraction of his vision, leaving a transparent hole in his ear.
The scene was chaotic, and although the elves had wet masks, the orange-yellow smoke still stinged their eyes. The accuracy of the tear mist is greatly reduced. And the crossbow arrows that humans shoot back indiscriminately can basically be ignored, and they can't hit anything if they stand still.
In the chase, four of Ush's men were killed, five bald men were lost, and one slave was robbed. One-Eyed grins and uses terrain and trickery to get out of tracking, which is what pikefish are good at, while One-Eye has its own way.
"Stop!" Ush roared. The bald head was suppressed, but the ranger's arrows did not stop.
With his sword in hand, Ushgagar grinned and threw a bloody object at the ranger, the elf's little finger.
"Back off. β
The rangers were furious, and they all regretted why they didn't kill this scumbag first.
Without the ranger retreating, Ushi dropped his sword without hesitation, and another finger flew into the sky. The bald head did not have such a strong determination, and the crippled slave was only one-fifth the price of an intact slave. He pointed the tip of his knife at the only elf and shouted, "Fuck off! β
Ramesile stepped forward with a cold face, he could tell the difference between the lust of the bald head and the brutal madness of the one-eyed, and the next sword of Ush was definitely not a finger.
"We don't attack, give him to stop the bleeding, right away. Ramesile said in lingua franca.
Ignoring the one-eyed Ush, he looked at Ramsileh defiantly, the tip of his tongue sliding over the elven hostage's face like a greedy python. The slave catcher looked at the hateful faces of the rangers with appreciative eyes, and enjoyed it very much. With no one in his eyes, he asked his men to bandage their wounds and straighten their backpacks. Before the bald head was about to pee, he ordered to leave.
The rangers glared at the slave catchers and disappeared into the jungle. "Captain, they can't lie to us with sacks anymore, fight another ambush and kill the leader directly. β
Ramesile shook his head: "Just because there is no barrier, if Ushi is attacked again, the hostages will definitely die." You can doubt his courage, but you can't question his ferocity. β
Hora walked out, and the previous battle was not fought at all because she was worried about the hostages.
"Regroup, let's go ahead of them. β
"Didn't you say you couldn't attack?" the rangers wondered.
"We've got the odd soldiers. Ramsilele glanced at the unicorn. "I have a plan, I need your help, and if I want to rescue it, I need to compete with humans...... Cruel. β
......
On the next escape, the bald head slapped his ass, and his familiar tone made One-Eye extremely disgusting. Ush made up his mind to slaughter the parrot and take the slave to make up for the loss.
"Stop!" Ush reached out and grabbed the hostage, his sword up to his throat, and he saw Ramses alone in the way.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to make a deal. β
", or he'll die. Ush didn't believe a word.
Captain Ranger spread his hands, and his leisurely tone reminded the slave catcher of the ruffian: "Be enlightened, they are all out to support their families, you are, and so am I." β
"What do you want to do?" asked the bald head, and if he thought he could solve it with his mouth, he wouldn't use the knife.
"Five, I still need five human corpses to hand over to the Council of Elders, and the rest can leave directly. And next time, as long as you bring enough corpses that will give me credit, I will make way for you. β
Ush and Bald looked at each other, and there were exactly five people on each side. The bald head scolded angrily: "** to our stupidity! Nonsense wants to provoke us to kill each other, why?" β
"By ...... The benefits are unevenly distributed, you see, two teams, one elf, how to divide them?"
"Hahaha...... bald smile blushed, "It turns out that these fake girls don't know how to count." β
"I'll count again, a ......," said Ramsile, taking the arrow and drawing the bow with an extremely slow motion. The slave catchers were like a great enemy, they didn't believe that the elves would dare to ignore the hostages, and the slave catchers didn't want to believe it, so that none of these people would be able to leave the forest alive, except for Ush.
"Boom. The bowstring shook, and Ush almost slashed the hostage's throat, but no, for he had an incredible sight that the arrow had struck the elf in the bald hand.
"It's still one. Ramsilele grinned.
