The first time I dodged the big tree during the thunderstorm and looked for the rhythm of death

"Damn, Nith Sabi!" Cui Xue raised his knife and cut off the head of a pitch-black goblin in front of him, and couldn't help but curse at the same time. The head gurgled and rolled down the slope, its squinted eyes still shining with a fierce light, though its body had fallen straight down and could no longer move.

Lao Ji, who had vicissitudes of life and white hair on his sideburns, chuckled, and couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the young man in front of him skillfully solve a goblin. Three months ago, when Cui Xue was rescued outside the valley of the two rivers in the south, this trance-like, sleepwalking guy was even scared to death of harmless tree spirits.

The blade was dripping with dark green blood, Cui Xue shook the handle of the knife, and briskly inserted the blade into the weeds on the ground twice, and then put the blade into the scabbard made of elk skin with a bang.

"Boy, the tricks are getting sharper and sharper!" the bearded Jack patted Cui Xue on the shoulder, and then laughed. originally thought that the rescued handsome young man could do some chores at most, but who knew that he was already a pure 'killer' and 'ranger' in just three months.

Cui Xue shook his head nonchalantly: "Practice makes perfect." Unfortunately, the knife was not made of steel, and it was still not fast enough. After saying this, Cui Xue looked at the river in the distance, smacked his lips, and said secretly in his heart: "It would be nice if there was iron sand in the river." ”

Jack laughed, knowing that Cui Xue had started talking nonsense again. What is steel? It's unheard of. He didn't know where Cui Xue in front of him learned so many new words. However, witticisms such as 'cool and explosive', 'I'm drunk too', and 'awesome' are also very interesting.

"Let's go! Walk through the woods in front of you to Linzi, the capital of Linzi Kingdom. However, I'm afraid there are trolls in the woods!, everyone be careful!" the leader of the group, Ranger Tongyue, beckoned. Some of the party were reluctant to enter the forest when the sun was already in the west, but they moved their steps.

It was a ranger unit of about thirty horsemen. In this world, the rangers receive bonuses by eradicating non-human races such as goblins and orcs. Unlike bounty hunters, they only target bad races that are hostile to humans.

Goblins have multiplied in large numbers over the last hundred years, becoming a scourge on human territory. Although the combat power of goblins alone is no more than that of a ten-year-old child, when they appear in groups, they are bandits with incredible destructive power. Goblins are everywhere, and not a single grass grows. Plague the crops and kill the livestock. The most annoying thing is that these goblins are cunning and good at camouflage, so they are very difficult to remove.

Orcs are a collective term for maned people, werewolves, and mountain charms. Werewolves are a formidable enemy of humanity in the grasslands to the north, and ordinary rangers cannot confront them head-on. But in the great forest on the outskirts of the human kingdom, there are many pig-looking and stouting maned men. These manes are brutal and much more difficult to deal with than goblins.

And in the forest, even more terrifying than the maned people are the tall, turquoise trolls. Trolls are powerful, adept at using axes, and their favorite thing is to eat human flesh.

Cui Xue shuddered and scolded: "Niang Xipi, trolls, it's really green and violent!" After speaking, Cui Xue couldn't help but think that if Hulk was in this world, would he smash all the trolls to pieces.

With a pull on the reins, the horses scrambled towards the trees in the distance. Cui Xue was on horseback, leaning down slightly, feeling the feeling of the air sliding across his cheeks. In Cui Xue's words, this reduces the friction of the air and speeds up the horses.

The rangers laughed at Cui Xue for nonsense at first, but slowly, almost everyone learned Cui Xue's example. Only the eldest Tongyue still straightened his waist, so there was no suspense that he fell last again.

Although Lao Ji has white sideburns, he is actually only in his early fifties. He was the oldest guy in the group, but he was also Cui Xue's best friend.

"Xiao Cui. Lao Ji said softly on horseback: "What kind of barbecue did you make last time, it tastes good." If you catch game again today, how about you do it again?"

Xiao Cui is Cui Xue's nickname, he likes this nickname, because it reminds him of a celebrity that everyone doesn't know, and he has a sense of intimacy and mystery. Hearing Lao Ji's request, Cui Xue glanced at his lips and smiled: "When you arrive in Linzi Country, you can get the money for drinking flower wine!"

Lao Ji cut off: "What should I do, wrap it up on me!"

In the blink of an eye, the horses rushed from the field into the forest, and their speed naturally slowed down. After a while, it was dark. It wasn't because it was dark, but because of a sudden cloud that obscured the sun.

The experienced ranger captain Tong Yue secretly said that it was not good. There's nothing more terrifying than a dark forest.

"It looks like it's going to rain!" Lao Ji said to Cui Xue: "Be sure to follow everyone closely, don't get separated." The forest in the rain is too terrifying!" Lao Ji knew that although Cui Xue was clever, he had no experience after all, so he told him.

As soon as the words fell, a huge lightning bolt slid over everyone's heads, and a loud rumbling sound was heard.

"The gods are angry!" I don't know who said it.

Cui Xue sneered: "It's just a collision of dark clouds, there's nothing to make a fuss about." ”

Tong Yue pulled his horse's head and shouted, "Everyone, go to the big tree in front of you to take shelter from the rain!"

", hiding from a big tree in a thunderstorm, this is the rhythm of looking for death!" Cui Xue grabbed Lao Ji's reins: "Don't go! Although life is short, you don't have to be in a hurry! This is not how you look for death!"

Lao Ji knew that Cui Xue was a little 'abnormal', so he didn't care and said, "If you want to get drenched in the rain, you can go by yourself!"

Cui Xue glared: "If you go, I won't make you Brazilian barbecue!"

Lao Ji is a glutton, although his life is not very rich, but it is delicious, he couldn't help licking his tongue when he heard this, and scolded: "You are really a pervert!" But the horse still followed Cui Xue and stopped in a rare grassland in the woods, obviously going to follow Cui Xue in the rain.

Everyone ran to the bottom of the tree, only to find that Cui Xue and Lao Ji were still in the wilderness in the distance, and couldn't help laughing.

Jack was also very familiar with Cui Xue, so he laughed and scolded, "You two idiots don't come over quickly?"

This is the first time Cui Xue has encountered a thunderstorm since joining the rangers, and he doesn't know why this group of people hasn't been struck by lightning before, but he doesn't want to risk it. He spread his hands and said nothing.

"Why don't you speak!" Lao Ji felt a little embarrassed when he was scolded as a 'stupid', and said angrily.

Cui Xue said in a low voice: "During the thunderstorm, try to speak quietly, otherwise the thunder god will hear you and think that you are mocking him." His thunder fire will strike you!" Cui Xue tried to make his point in a way that Lao Ji could accept.

Sure enough, Lao Ji stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and he really didn't speak.

Maybe it's because the air is clean and not polluted, the lightning in the sky is unusually bright, and the blue thunderbolt reminds Cui Xue of the guy in the movie who is wearing blue clothes and underwear and flying around.
