Chapter 16: The First Battle
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's the night elf corresponding to the glow elf, and he actually knows that I am a child of nature?
Link had seen an introduction to this species in the library that guarded the ancient tree, an evil elf that lived underground, and was divided by the war of the gods in ancient times. Because of the lack of sunlight all year round, his skin has become pale like that of a vampire, and he is a well-known evil creature of the chaotic camp who likes to kill.
Link cautiously stared at the night elves who took the initiative to appear: "Dependents of the night, is the missing druid in Riverdale related to you?"
"How can our people be at odds with the guardians of the earth, who live deep underground? "It's obviously an elf, but it has an aura that is diametrically opposed to Iris, more like a demon encountered in the southern rift of the Guardian Land.
"Why do you live near human settlements when they live deep underground?" The Night Elves are at the vanguard of the Chaos Faction, hated by the surface dwellers just as much as the Dark Elves, and their presence is often accompanied by death and slaughter. In terms of danger alone, it is better than a corpse witch who is not possessed by frost.
For the night elves, who are known for their cunning and treachery, Link does not dare to be careless, and secretly inflicts tree skin on himself.
"The patrol team in charge of this area disappeared ten days ago. The Night Elves gave a concise answer.
It's missing again, counting Yuan Ye, it's already the third batch. The Druid Rey stationed in Riverdale disappeared half a year ago, Yuan Ye disappeared almost three months ago, and the Night Elf patrol disappeared ten days ago.
Link always felt that there was a connection between these missing people, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. The extremely dangerous Night Elf was a few steps away from him, and although he was outwardly respectful, who could guarantee that he would not suddenly pounce on him and stab him in the heart with another poisonous dagger. Just as the Glowing Elves were allied with the Pillars of Earth, the Night Elves' allies were none other than the demons that were the Nature's greatest enemies before the undead appeared. Whether it is a faction or an alliance, they are enemies, and the so-called deep underground will not fight the pillars of the earth is just a high-sounding rhetoric.
"You mean the patrol team?" Link, who couldn't think of a way, had to delay as much time as he could.
"Yes, a whole squad. The Night Elf raised his head slightly, a glint flashing in his half-squinted pupils, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made Link's heart beat wildly.
Damn, he shouldn't be able to show that I'm just a novice in the outside? No, I have to bluff him.
"Do you have clear evidence of daring to blatantly enter the surface and attack humans?"
The Night Elf's gaze moved downwards and landed on the ground. Link looked down and saw that it was the charred corpse with a scimitar gleaming at his waist.
The silvery-blue luster made his brow furrow, it was pure gold! Gonzalez had only taught Link to recognize, and he couldn't be wrong.
Adamantite is a rare ore buried deep underground, loved by the Night Elves, and has fought a centuries-long war with the dwarves in order to compete for the veins. It was impossible for a ragged beggar outcasts to possess such a valuable weapon, and the only source was the Night Elf Patrol that had disappeared ten days earlier.
It's bad, how do you go about it?
Link was sweating profusely, this was not training, unlike the Demon Lord confrontation and the Frost encounter, this time without Iris, no one could help him resolve the crisis, even if Gonzalez said that he would not encounter life-threatening dangers during the novice period, Link was still afraid.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
The missing areas are all located on the borders of the Guardian Lands, and perhaps these disappearances are related to the undead.
Link remembered the corpse witch possessed by frost and cold, as the enemy's general, he really shouldn't go deep into the opponent's base camp, after all, the Pillar of the Earth was incarnated by an ancient god that symbolized nature, and it was not something that he could match with a mere lich, what was the use of his meaningless temptation?
I know...... He didn't go to the pillars of the earth, but to me. Isn't it true that the undead and the children of nature are natural rivals, and if the future Guardian of the Pillar of Earth can be eliminated in the weak Chosen One stage, wouldn't it be the same as getting rid of a future adversary and henchman?
There must be remnants of the undead nearby, and it is impossible for a single corpse witch to attack both the west and north at the same time.
Link snickered at his guess.
That's right!
"It's impossible for a few human outcasts to take out the Night Elf patrol team. β
"So?" it was obvious, the Night Elf kept an eerie smile.
"A few days ago I annihilated a necro on the northern border who was trying to invade the Guardian Lands, and I think this is another one. Link told a little lie and attributed his achievements in killing the Witch to his own name to deter the Night Elves.
For a moment, there was only the crackling of burning torches in the mine, and after a moment of silence, the night elf finally spoke.
"Although such a request may be abrupt, please allow me to accompany me, and the blood of the Night Elves must not be shed in vain. β
While in line with their retributive personality, wouldn't it be a bit risky to walk with a night elf?
Link is ambivalent. Promise, you may be stabbed at any time. If you don't agree, you're more likely to accept it head-on. After weighing the pros and cons, Link chose a counterparty with relatively low risk.
"Captain of the Fifth Patrol of Flynn City, Artis. The Night Elf introduced himself, and although his facial features were neutral, his voice and height would never make Link mistake him for a woman. Edgar's elves are generally taller than humans, no less than one meter eight, even the night elves who live underground all year round.
Not...... Do I want to sign up for it myself?The Child of Nature is an oracle, and his status is much higher than that of a night elf civilian, or can he just deal with it and give him a fake name?
Just as Link was considering whether to introduce himself as well, the Night Elf had bypassed him towards the exit of the mine, and he crouched down, groping for something on the ground, stopping.
Link followed to take a look, and now he saw footprints on the sand, left by the homeless people who had fled.
The morning sun was still uncomfortable for Artis, accustomed to the darkness, and he resisted the pain of his eyeballs to make out the traces left by the homeless.
"The footsteps were messy, they walked separately. It took a lot of time to track them down, and Artis turned to look at Link. Even the world's most famous elven tracking technique can't track so many people at the same time in a short period of time.
Reading the Night Elf's eyes, Link moved his mind for the second time, and the sign pointed to the hill facing the mine.
"Follow me. β
Transformed into a white deer, he ran in the direction pointed by the divine revelation.
Glancing left and right, Artis pulled up his cloak to cover his face, and followed closely behind Link, running as much as the White Deer incarnation.
After galloping, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the top of the mountain, and among the lush trees, a man-made building was faintly visible.
Halfway up the mountain, Link felt the breath of the undead, turning from light to thick, and was blown down from the top of the mountain by a gentle breeze. The night elf who followed behind also smelled the ** smell in the air, and he loaded the crossbow as he ran, and his movements were skilful and smooth.
The breath came from the burial chamber built on the mountain wall, which looked to be old, and the two stone doors were one on the ground, the other half open.
"I'm leading the way. "Needless to say, the Night Elves are experts in assassination, and they are fighting head-on to attract enemy firepower, which Link took the initiative to take.
Unlike the underground burial chambers outside the town, the passage was filled with a strong sense of death, and the passage was only two people wide on both sides of the stone beds carved out of the mountain, on which the corpses were placed, all of them had turned into white bones, and most of the clothes and burial goods were weathered, and only gold and silver products such as coins and necklaces were still intact.
Click......
Link's familiar voice came from ahead, and he slowed down, and at one corner he encountered the undead who sensed the breath of life, just a few skeletons, no different from the ones he had purified on the northern border.
As soon as the big horn was topped, nature followed more, and the first two bodies immediately turned into white light and drifted away.
The narrow passage shook along with the mountain, and the shaking lasted for several seconds before stopping, and Link felt the dead breath of the undead thickened, and he could faintly hear voices coming from deeper.
Is there more than one corpse witch? Hmm...... It seems to be a little bigger, but since there is a helper, it should be able to handle it.
There was also a unique clicking sound of skeletons in the back passage, and in order to avoid being caught between the front and back, Link slammed into it, purifying the remaining skeletons together.
Through another stone door, you enter a spacious hall, where there are only a few sarcophagi, and a large pit has been dug into the ground in the center, which is filled with viscous blood, like boiling boiling water, and from time to time a corpse rolls up, Link fixed his eyes, it is not a human, it is a night elf!
The Witch floated directly above the pool of blood, his hands raised and his mouth chanting incantations. Behind him were several wooden cages with more than a dozen humans inside. In a group of NPCs shouting for help, Link sees a face that is both familiar and unfamiliar, he has seen it at one of the few family dinners, although the game corrects the appearance of Asians, but the charm has not changed, it is Yuan Ye. Link was almost instantly recognizable.
Although it was a deer that came in, Yuan Ye also shouted for help with the main stream.
"Come out, my slave. The Corpse Witch waved his hands, and the night elves who were floating in the pool of blood crawled out one by one, and rushed towards Link with the weapons in their hands.
Dingββ
Holding the Adamantite Scimitar with his antlers, Link slammed into the air, picking the first night elf to attack, and dodged the other two, no matter how agile he was, he was still scratched by the fourth.
The sharp blade actually broke through the defense of the tree's skin, and the poison and death eroded the wound together, and Link used the natural healing to remove the toxin, and five of the eight spell slots had been used.
The Corpse Witch knew he was a novice as soon as he saw Link's attacks. Just as the corpse witch laughed hoarsely for his good fortune, Artis, who had been sneaking all along, suddenly appeared from the shadows.
The pitch-black dagger made a hole in the corpse witch's heart with precision, and quickly cut off his rank, and the corpse witch's body, which had not yet transformed into an undead, remained in a chanting posture and fell, and the sound of blood splattering caused the entire hall to fall into a dead silence. The people trapped in the cage were terrified, and the Night Elf's statement was no better than that of the undead.
With the death of the corpse witch, the manipulated night elves fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of festering flesh in an instant.
Sure enough, there will be no danger......
Link didn't let up with the death of the Witch, and settled the common enemy, wondering what his temporary ally had planned.
