Chapter 380: The Price of Pride

In the dense forest of the Hengduan Valley, five elves were running forward quickly, their height was almost the same, even their hair was the same pale green, the same fluttering in the wind, the only difference was the longbow behind their backs, the curved bow of the leaning back of the elf in the center was not only longer and thicker than the curved bow behind the other elves, but also the back of the bow faintly exuded a golden light. 【】

From the front, the five elves were all women, their eyes were sharp, their steps were light, and they were walking through the forest like a gust of wind, and now they were rushing towards a hillside, the angle of the hill was almost forty-five degrees, but their breathing rate seemed to be steady, and their speed did not slow down in the slightest.

The reason why the elven empire has become declining, there are a variety of factors, such as the attitude towards survival, cultural adaptability, fertility, etc., and another reason cannot be ignored, from the perspective of surpassing the current civilization, the elven empire has always been in the matrilineal clan stage, compared with the patrilineal clan, the structure of the matrilineal clan lacks enterprising spirit.

Men are more powerful and offensive than women, and every race is the same, and in this world of the jungle, the conservative tend to die, but the radical ones can gradually stabilize and grow, and the elves are so beautiful that they wonder why humans like to wage war so much? They think that it is better to use this energy to study the art of beauty than to fight a bloody war, and in this confusion, they have been pushed off the stage of history. In another world, there is also a vivid historical example, the self-proclaimed suzerainty of the benevolent and righteous state, which values peace and often satisfies the greed of strangers by enduring humiliation and burden, hoping to soothe disputes. They liked art more than war, everyone was proud to be able to recite poetry and lyrics, and prostitutes of low social status could even become famous if they mastered an art. Next to the suzerain, there is a small country, and the people of the suzerainty are very contemptuous of that small country. After thousands of years of accumulation and temptation, one day, the Japanese people stretched out their butcher's knife to the suzerain, and the war burned all over the north and south of the river, I don't know how many lives died tragically under the butcher's knife, and most of the huge territory was occupied.

It turns out. Greed knows no bounds, you hold out an olive branch made of gold as a friendly gift, but people see the gold ring on your finger and the gold bracelet on your wrist, you can give a gift, but don't forget, the other hand must hold the sword of cold light. There can be no real peace without adequate deterrence.

The elves have a poor understanding in this regard, and there is a very helpless phenomenon within the elves, they lack male elite powerhouses. Because according to custom, only female elves can enjoy the blessings of the fountain of life, but without the fountain of life, it is difficult for elves to evolve into real powerhouses. Historically, the top male powerhouses of the Elven Race are extremely rare. It can be counted with one hand, and in the law of survival of the fittest, there is a lack of ambition and ** elves. Naturally, they are grouped into the camp of the unfit.

The five elves are all women, and they are also the elite warriors of the clan, and the elf at the head is one of the few marksmen in the clan, although they have been tracking for several days and have never found their prey, their expressions are very calm and not the slightest anxiety.

When she was still more than 200 meters away from the top of the slope, the elf at the head suddenly stopped, and she sensed a signal from the druid, which meant that she had found the trail of the prey!

The leading elves made a gesture, and several elves quickly dispersed to deal with a powerful swordsman, but the archers gathered together could not exert their strength, and only by covering the attack from all angles could they cause a deadly threat.

Several elves slowed down and quietly hid to the top of the slope, the elf at the head of the elf had a glimmer of excitement in her eyes, she was very proud, she did not allow herself to fail, she had been hiding her frustration for the past few days, and now it was up to her to wash away the shame herself.

The elf walking on the far left leaned against an ancient tree, looking at the surrounding situation, in front of her was the top of the slope, where it was easy to expose herself, she wanted to hide in the bushes first, but before she could choose which ancient tree, the trunk behind her suddenly shook, her reaction was very fast, she was stunned and quickly rushed forward.

With a loud bang, the trunk of the tree burst open, countless sawdust flew in all directions, and a sky-blue shadow shot out like lightning in the sawdust flying all over the sky, and the long sword in his hand shot a dazzling cold light, slashing at the elf's neck.

The opponent's attack was full of invincible momentum, the elf was frightened, and tried to block with a longbow in a panic, the blade of the sword fell, breaking not only her longbow, but also her body, which was split into two pieces by the back of the diagonal shoulder strap, and the gushing blood splashed on the snow, snow-white and blood-red, which was shocking.

Suzanne turned sharply, her target was already locked on an elven archer twenty meters away, but at this moment, a strong wind came from behind her, Susanna's body spun like a spinning top, dodged to the side, and a burst of arrows grazed past her, grabbing the ground, and the arrow penetrated deep into the trunk of the tree, including the feathers.

Susanna's pupils narrowed suddenly, she didn't know the other party's people, but she had learned the other party's archery skills, when she was first besieged, every time she was about to break out of the encirclement, she was repeatedly forced back by the other party. Those two high-level druids are not terrible, she can leave the warband at any time, and the trouble caused by a few wind wolves is also limited, but this elven archer is the most troublesome! and she knows how much time it took to launch a surprise attack, she has just killed an enemy,

The arrow was fired, which shows how agile the opponent's reaction is.

It was not easy to find a natural but hidden tree hole, and after running for half a day, Suzanne found an ideal place, and Suzanne racked her brains on how to fool the few druids who were good at tracking, and finally waited for the results in anxiety. Since it was an ambush, Suzanne thought that she had only two options, one was to attack the most vulnerable enemy, and the other was to attack the enemy who posed the greatest threat to her, and the elven archer fully met these two different requirements, and Suzanne had already targeted the elven archer.

Unbeknownst to Susanna, the druids had received news from their clan that their leader had been killed on the spot by a furious Mangusesley, and the news made them panic, and they were eager to find Suzanne and complete their mission. In order to atone for his sins, he will rashly believe in the traces left by Susanna, and if he is a little more careful, he may not know what things will turn out of.

Susanna's figure folded, in the sound of a clear whistle. Shoot straight at that headache-inducing henchman, and if she doesn't kill the elven archer on the opposite side, she won't be able to turn defeat into victory. The little guy also rushed out of the hole in the tree, screaming and following Susanna, I don't know if it was to sprout an instinctive fight**, or to protect Susanna, don't look at it is only one year old now, but the speed of running is not much worse than Susanna. This is what usually makes Ricska and the others complain, and the little guy can't care about it when he is happy, so he can only let little Sharyl use beauty tricks or use silk vanilla to seduce.

When Susanna's figure activated, the distance between her and the other party was still a hundred meters away, and the elven archer was as heavy as water. He drew his longbow lightly, his hand loosened, and an arrow shot out, the bowstring still humming and trembling. The elven archer grabbed the bowstring and pulled the longbow as if she were not afraid of being scratched by the bowstring, and another arrow, and as soon as the arrow was shot off the string, her fingers grasped and twisted. He pulled the longbow away again, and in the blink of an eye, he shot three arrows one after another.

Suzanne only rushed out a dozen meters. The first arrow had already been shot at her throat, but it couldn't hurt her if someone else was trying to distract her, and in the dazzling light of the sword, all three arrows turned into bursts of pieces.

The elven archer didn't expect three arrows to kill Susanna, her hands flew like butterflies, and the bowstring opened faster and faster each time, not only the arrows, but even the bowstring was tense again and again, and the bullet made a screaming sound, at the same time, the other three elven archers also launched a quick attack on Susanna, and in an instant, Susanna's body became the target of the elven archer everywhere from head to toe.

Seeing the arrows flying like raindrops, Suzanne did not retreat but advanced, her fighting spirit had been released to the limit, a little golden light faintly appeared in the dazzling white light, and the sword light on the long sword stretched out more than ten meters away like a match, and the whole person turned into a comet and shot forward.

The elven archer smiled contemptuously, this time she replaced it with a green arrow, which hung limply to the ground when it was placed on the bowstring, but when the bowstring was fully opened, the arrow was straight, and then her fingers loosened, and the green arrow flew upwards into the canopy and disappeared.

Suzanne flew forward like a devastating devastation, and all the branches and leaves that she touched along the way turned to powder, and in an instant, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, and at this moment, a green arrow shot down from the canopy above Suzanne like a poisonous snake, piercing Susanna's protective fighting spirit, and hitting Susanna's vest.

Suzanne was wearing azure soft armor, an arc of electricity flashed on the soft armor, and the green arrow was bounced out violently, but the arc did not disappear, from one to two, two to four, and finally countless arcs of electricity enveloped Susanna's body like water lines, swimming rapidly, and her figure did not pause at all, and continued to fly forward.

The elven archer had already shown a smug smile, but now her smile had stiffened, and she cried out, "Azure robes!!"

Suzanne liked the robe given to her by Béeri very much, and knew that this kind of treasure was rare but not sought, and she was reluctant to wear it in normal times, and if she wore the blue robe when she was attacked that day, she would not be so easily injured, and now she took out all the things at the bottom of the box, so as to ensure the success of the battle.

The battle between the strong is a race against time, and Susanna's sprint speed is extremely fast, she is stunned, the distance between Susanna and her has been shortened to more than thirty meters. The elven archer quickly woke up from the shock, and pulled out a green arrow with his backhand, aiming at Susanna, no matter how amazing Susanna's momentum was in sprinting, she had no intention of backing down, her left hand holding the bow was frozen in the air, and the slender fingers of her right hand gently carried the arrow, which seemed extremely stable, but full of the demeanor of a master.

The green arrow shot out silently, suddenly turning into a huge green net, and head-on Susanna.

The sword was in full bloom, like an explosion, and the green net was very tough, maybe it could trap ordinary high-level swordsmen, but it could never trap Susanna, who had reached a critical point in strength and was desperate, and the green net was torn into countless pieces as soon as it came into contact with the sword.

The elven archer gasped, she already knew that she had underestimated Susanna, but she didn't know what psychology was. Faced with the rapidly shooting sword, she did not dodge immediately, but gritted her teeth and muttered, "Good!

Suzanne however

And what the other party meant, she only cared if the ambush was successful or pointed at the other party's chest. She was sure that as long as the other party hesitated a little longer, she could kill this headache shooter on the spot.

Seeing that Suzanne was less than twenty meters away from herself, the elven archer gave a contemptuous look and let out a cold snort, and several shots were defeated, her pride did not allow her to bear a series of defeats. So she was hitting back at Suzanne with her own contempt, and then her figure flickered, and a dozen identical shadows appeared on the spot, shooting in more than a dozen directions.

Susanna's sword flashed, and one shadow was shattered, but the others were unaffected. Still speeding rapidly, Susanna's heart sank to the bottom, she never expected that the other party would unleash magic, and at her speed she could catch up with a few shadows. But what if it wasn't the real body? She had used all her strength just now, and she couldn't fight for a long time at this rate, and if she let the other party successfully pull away, her situation would be extremely dangerous.

Suzanne slowed down, and the little one had already caught up from behind. It hissed excitedly, firmly following a shadow and emitting a faint arc of electricity. Shoot straight at the target it identifies.

The arc hit the shadow, of course, with the little guy's attack power, it was difficult to have an effect on the strong, and the shadow continued to gallop forward as if it didn't feel anything.

Susanna's heart swelled with ecstasy, if the phantom was attacked, it would be shattered immediately, then the little guy must have attacked the real body! Her body suddenly accelerated, and a few ups and downs chased the shadow, and with a stretch of her arm, the sword had already stabbed out.

The elven archer let out a reluctant scream, her heart was full of remorse, she would not have fallen to this point if she had run away as soon as Suzanne was close, but unfortunately, she was too proud to flee in the face of a series of failures, she tried to do something to fight back, even if it was just a look.

The elven archer stopped suddenly, her face aging at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and the longbow in her hand was not equipped with arrows, but she resolutely pulled the longbow, which was the archery used by the elven marksman to die with the enemy, and it was not an arrow that was shot, but all her life force.

But it seemed to be too late, Susanna's arm stretched, and the dazzling sword slammed into the elf's hand, Susanna's sword was indestructible, although the elf's longbow was not ordinary, but compared with Susanna's sword, it was still too fragile, just once, the longbow was broken several times, and the upside-down fragments jumped on the elf's face, drawing several deep blood marks, and the arrow that ended up with the end never shot out.

The elf had no time to feel the pain, and in the blink of an eye, Susanna's sword stabbed straight into her chest and out of her back, and her proud life was frozen in the blood.

Susanna's figure did not pause, and continued to sprint forward, the corpse of the elven archer had been torn into pieces by the sword, Suzanne shot out of the blood like a murderous god, and her eyes were locked on the next elven archer. In some ways, Suzanne is very similar to Anfei, enemies are just enemies, men and women, just like she never expects the enemy to show mercy when she is attacked, she will not show mercy to any enemy, even if it is just a corpse, she needs time, before those few druids can come to the rescue, she must deal with all the elven shooters!

Perhaps it was because they were too sad and angry to see their leader killed, and the elves ignored Susanna's fierce momentum, and did not retreat, but desperately pulled their longbows, and arrows rained down on Susanna, but unfortunately, this kind of attack was no different from suicide.

Susanna's strength has reached a critical point, only half a step away from the peak powerhouse, her protective fighting spirit is not so easy to break, and the azure robe provides her with extremely strong defense, it can even be said that even if she stands there as a target for those few elven archers, it is difficult to take substantial damage.

The elven archer locked by Suzanne seemed to know her fate, and tears flowed from her big eyes, but her hand did not relax, and the arrows shot at Suzanne one after another.

Suzanne let out a clear whistle, mixed with the momentum of thunder, flashed past the elven archer, and a fountain of blood erupted behind Susanna, and the elven archer's head flew diagonally far away, and the headless corpse shook for a moment, and fell limply to the ground. And Suzanne had already rushed out more than twenty meters away at this moment, her eyes were murderous, staring at the next elf shooter.

The elven archer's courage to fight to the death suddenly collapsed, and with a scream, she threw away the longbow and turned to flee into the distance, but she and her leader made the same mistake, if you want to escape, you should have fled earlier, and now it is too late, and in a few ups and downs, Suzanne caught up with the elven archer, and with a flick of her wrist, the sword swept past the elven archer's waist.

From the other side of the valley came the roar of the druids, and Susanna froze at the elven archer, who had been cut in two and was struggling on the ground, before turning back and charging in the other direction. There is only one elven archer left on the other side, and her goal has been achieved, her fighting spirit is too depleted, and she is no longer suitable for continuous fighting, she must find a place to rest, and when she comes back, it will be the death of those druids.
