It was already completely dark, and the gloomy woods had become cold and damp, and it had become more dangerous.

Victor and Nelson scurried through the woods one after the other, and the dark and complex environment could not slow them down at all, not only because Victor had dark vision, but also because the howls of the gnolls in the distance clearly showed them the way.

"Nelson, we've got company, 40 yards on the left, two, 35 yards on the right, one. Victor whispered to Nelson as X-3 constantly contrasted the changes in the environment, dooming the gnolls to ambush.

A breeze surrounded the short arrows that Victor had fired, making them lightning fast and silent, piercing the eyes of the two gnolls and shooting straight into their heads, causing each of them to let out a wail and fall to the ground and die.

The gnoll man lying in ambush on the right heard his companion's deathly screams and knew that their ambush had been revealed, and he pounced on Victor as he was loading his crossbow and wielding a flail.

Physique12, Spirit10, Perception 13, Health 9, Victor reloads his crossbow arrows while collecting the gnolly's data, not worrying about the strong orc hurting him.

Sure enough, Nelson slashed the gnoll straight out with a single axe, and the unlucky guy didn't even let out a scream, and spun around and fell ten meters away.

As soon as the battle began, it was already over.

Victor's high perception and Nelson's high physique, in this complex and dark environment, form a perfect complement to produce such sharp combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why Victor does not bring in ordinary guards, because ordinary guards will only become a burden to them in a dark and cramped environment, and if anyone is injured, it will slow them down.

"Wait! something doesn't seem quite right ahead. ”

The two did not stop, and rushed straight forward, walking 50 meters, but Nelson was stopped by Victor.

Victor frowned, he only heard the howls of the gnolls fighting 700 meters ahead, but he didn't hear the cry of the black feather.

Victor took a deep breath, turned on the supersense and the transcendence at the same time, all his attention was focused on the sound source, X-3 eliminated those irrelevant sound signals one by one, and soon Victor caught the chirping of the black feather, 1200 meters to their left, still approaching, obviously this alchemy crow was quickly approaching them.

"There's a trap ahead! Go to the left. ”

At this time, every second must be counted, and Victor can only explain to Nelson as he goes.

"In the cry of the jackal man in front, I didn't hear the sound of weapons colliding, nor did I hear the cry of Black Feather, so it must be a trap, I just activated the innate ability, and I heard Black Feather in this direction, about 1200 yards, Nicole should be over there!"

Ahead was indeed a trap set by Gorush, who had ordered his gnolloll minions to howl there in order to distract the humans who were chasing him. Unfortunately, the wise old ogre didn't know that Victor's perception was sharper than that of the knight, and his wishful thinking came to naught.

"If you go 1,200 yards in this direction, the gnolls who set the traps will be able to pounce on us from behind. ”

Nelson frowned, it was okay to push it head-on, if he fell into a situation of flanking back and forth, the lord would be in danger.

"My lord, although you are very skilled, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take care of your safety if we are attacked on our backs, so it is better for you to go back and call some men, and I will go to support Miss Nicole alone. "Nelson hopes that Victor will give up the risk, and of course Nicole will save it, but the life of the lord is more important.

"We've got reinforcements!"

Victor said with a smile as he scurried, "I just sensed that the Bruce Knight was following us. ”

"That's great! Why don't we go back and meet Master Bruce first?" Nelson was overjoyed, pausing and suggesting to Victor.

Nelson was happy to hear that reinforcements were on the way, but they had seen through the trap and changed course, and Bruce probably wasn't so lucky.

"Bruce values aristocratic etiquette and knightly creed, he won't meet us unless he has to, and whether he falls into the trap of the gnolls or follows us to protect us, the problem you just worried about is solved, isn't it?" Victor was anxious, how could he go back and join Bruce again.

Seeing that Victor had made up his mind, Nelson stopped talking nonsense and opened the way in front of him with two battle axes.

After a while, they encountered the oncoming Black Feather, who screamed when he saw Victor, and flew up and down in front of Victor like a dance.

"Nicole is right ahead, except for the old ogre, there are four gnolls hiding over there, let's go. "Victor grasped the meaning of what it meant through the movements of the black feather.

Just as the two of them rushed forward under the leadership of Black Feather, the gnolls who kept howling suddenly fell silent, and then the howls turned into miserable wails.

Victor and Nelson looked at each other, and it seemed that Bruce had indeed broken into the trap and was killing there.

Unable to mourn for the hapless gnolls, the two of them moved forward a few hundred meters closer, and finally even Nelson heard the sound of battle in front of them.

The four gnolls were so strong that they blocked their way, and Victor's pupils shrank, and one of the four gnolls was exceptionally tall, obviously a ferocious gnoll.

Victor didn't hesitate, over-limit opening, super-sensory opening, infernal opening, directly entered the apocalypse state, and everything was slowly and clearly presented in his mind.

The two short crossbows in Victor's hand were raised, and the two crossbow arrows flashed in the air, and they disappeared into the eyes of the ferocious jackal, but unfortunately it was a ferocious monster after all, and it caught the short arrows with its eyelids in time, and was not directly killed.

The jackal was furious and frightened by the sudden blinding of Victor's shot, but at this time, it could only roar loudly there, flailing its claws in all directions in a frenzied and futile manner, and under its terrible strange force, the thick trees with the thick mouths of the bowl were clawed and broken.

To the effect that this ferocious gnoll who was enough to compete with Nelson's was abolished by Victor.

The breeze enveloped Victor's body, causing him to sweep forward like the wind, and a gnoll slammed the flail in his hand towards Victor, but it missed, and then it felt a chill in its ribs, and when it looked down, blood was gushing out of its body, and after a wail, the gnoll fell to the ground. Just now, the short sword in Victor's hand slashed through the gap between its ribs, splitting its heart in two.

In an instant, the four gnolls, one dead and one disabled, but Victor disappeared into the bushes in front of him like a wisp of smoke.

The other gnolls looked around in disbelief, trying to latch onto the ghost-like human, only to wake them up with a loud shout, and another burly human warrior with red eyes in his hands rushed towards them.

Nicole was repulsed by Gorash again, she staggered backwards, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily, the deformed round shield on her left hand was completely scrapped this time, and her left arm had lost sensation, I am afraid that the arm bones had cracked.

Are you going to die?

Under the operation of the fighting spirit, the two fire elemental positions were still unmoving, which made Nicole feel a burst of despair.

Nicole didn't expect that the battered Gorush would be so ferocious.

At first she followed the old ogre's blood, but the old ogre seemed to notice something, and kept taking her with him, going around in circles until he led her to this place.

When she arrived, Nicole realized that she had been surrounded by Golash with several gnolls, and the hunter had become prey.

After Nicole killed the two gnolls, the old ogre said a few words of gnoll to the other gnolls, and the gnolls scattered, and the old ogre began to attack Nicole himself.

As soon as they fought, Nicole realized that the old ogre was more terrible than she had imagined, and even if it had broken an arm, it was not something she could handle. The heavy wooden stick, in its hands, was as light as a straw, and its powerful attack was delicate and precise, leaving no flaws, keeping Nicole firmly out of the circle, so that she could not cut into the effective attack range, and could only defend passively.

Gorash brandished a heavy wooden club to repel Nicole once more, and if it weren't for the old ogre who seemed to be afraid of something, I'm afraid she would have been killed by Gorush.

The crow that was still hovering and chirping overhead had already left, and Nicole knew it was Victor's pet Black Feather.

It must have gone to Victor to report his funeral. Nicole thought sadly.

Gorash watched Nicole's movements closely, and it was now certain that the human female was no longer capable of resisting and was about to become her supper.

Thinking of this, Gorush's fishy saliva flowed down his chin, and in the previous battle with Bruce, he not only broke an arm, but also vomited the food in his stomach, and now it needs to eat urgently.

When you recover, you'll have to eat Scarface!" Gorash thought viciously.

After Gras lured the human warrior here, he ordered several gnolls to kill her, but after the two gnolls were killed, the other gnolls began to cringe at the hint of their former leader, Scarface.

Gorash knew Scarface was tempting it, and if it didn't show its strength as it was always, the ferocious gnoll would lead his men to turn its master into dinner.

The Gnolls have never been a good race, and when dealing with them, you must always be careful of their backlash.

Gorash had to take matters into his own hands, and when it showed an overwhelming advantage over Nicole, the gnolls with twinkling eyes became respectful again.

In order to prevent these greedy and murderous creatures from preying on it, Gorash drove them all to the perimeter to take charge of the guard.

The old ogre walked towards the half-kneeling female apprentice knight, wondering why humans had only sent a female warrior to hunt it down, and the crow that had been hovering and chirping above had also disturbed it, so instead of killing Nicole directly, it was wary of the surrounding situation, which it thought might be a trap.

Gorash prepared Nicole's life, just as it raised the wooden stick high and smashed it directly at the human female, but suddenly heard Scarface's scream, its face suddenly changed greatly, and then a sharp pain came from its left eye, which made it let out a scream of "whoop", and then Gorash saw the human nobleman standing twenty meters away, loading a crossbow.

Gorash's instincts told it that the nobleman must not be allowed to reload his crossbow. It resolutely gave up killing Nicole, and instead swung a wooden club, and with a vicious wind, pounced on Victor.

Victor broke through the gnolls' interception, and after passing through a grove of trees, he saw a scene that made him feel distraught, and he didn't have time to reload his other crossbow before he shot a short arrow that he had just loaded at the old ogre.

Like a bolt of lightning, the short arrow blinded the old ogre's left eye, and the monster didn't give Victor any more time, and rushed straight at him, smashing the wooden stick in his hand and smashing it down on his face.

In the apocalypse state, Victor deftly dodged Gorashi's crazy attacks, and the wooden sticks that rained down like drops could not touch Victor at all, which made Gorash even more crazy, and he roared angrily, swinging the wooden sticks desperately, and the large pieces of dirt and bushes he brought up obscured him and Victor's figures.

"No!"

Nicole's eyes were split, she couldn't see Victor's current situation at all, despair and pain filled Nicole's heart, tears mixed with blood flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the strong emotions drove the fighting spirit to run wildly, and the fire elemental node that was originally immovable finally sent out a belated resonance.

The four elements cheered and gathered around Nicole, allowing her to burst out with unparalleled power at this moment.

Nicole swept towards Gorash like an arrow off the string, and the bright sword slashed at the old ogre's neck with a roar.

With a "bang", the ugly head of the old ogre was cut off, its face still retained a crazy and hideous look, and the headless corpse was kicked a few meters away by Nicole, and the dark red blood gushed out from the broken neck, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

Victor retreated from the apocalypse state, his body was spotless, he smiled at Nicole, who was looking at him stupidly, and was about to speak, but was hugged tightly by Nicole.

Nelson took out all his opponents, rushed over, and after seeing the scene, quietly retreated.

Bruce put away his sword and let out a long breath.

At the moment of Nicole's outburst, even though thousands of meters away, Bruce sensed the elemental activity, and he knew that Nicole had become a real knight.

However, looking at the corpses of the dozen or so gnolls lying around, Bruce frowned and couldn't help but explode a foul word.

"Fuck. ”
