Facing the gnolls who were looking around blankly, Ryan didn't spare his hand to shoot another arrow. With the blessing of the class trait "Rival", he successfully took the life of another Gnoll.

"Look, there!"

"That damn guy, if I'm not mistaken, isn't he exactly the human we're looking for!"

At the cost of the death of two of their companions, the remaining three gnolls finally found the location of Ryan hiding in the woods, and they all roared furiously.

The Gnolls are an extremely warlike race. In this regard, they are clearly different from kobolds. After noticing Ryan's hidden position, instead of flinching, he roared and threw himself at Ryan.

Meanwhile.

Rick, whose hands and feet were tied up and hung from a log, also noticed Ryan.

Ryan!

Rick's eyes widened in disbelief, he never thought that Ryan was not dead, knowing that there were nearly twenty gnolls in that situation.

It stands to reason that no matter how rich Ryan's hunting experience is, he should have been caught a long time ago.

How can it be......

Rick felt incomprehensible in his heart, this was obviously a mortal situation, how Lane escaped in such a critical situation, and still acted as if he was not injured.

But!

Now is not the time to think about this.

"Hey, Ryan," Rick shouted, "help me and take out these abominable gnolls!" ”

The plan failed.

According to the original plan, Rick wanted the gnoll to kill Ryan, and then then Ryan's childhood sweetheart would have no reason to refuse his pursuit.

As a result, neither purpose has been achieved now.

But.

Never mind!

At least with Ryan's character, he would never guess that he did this by himself, so as long as he can survive now, he will have a chance to get rid of this nasty guy in the future!

Sou!

While Rick was thinking about this, Ryan had already shot an arrow, but unfortunately the gnolls were already on guard, and the arrow did not have the best effect.

"Why did he ignore me?"

Seeing that Ryan's blow failed to cause a kill, so he actually took the initiative to walk out of cover, Rick felt something strange for a while.

Rick instinctively wanted to shout again, but another arrow was shot mixed with the gnoll's wail after being hit by the arrow, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence back in fright.

"300 experience in hand."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

When the experience required for early upgrades is not particularly high, Gnoll is simply the best choice for gaining experience.

"Kill him!"

"This abominable human, he killed three of our brothers!"

The wildness of the gnolls was vividly reflected at this moment, and they were getting closer and closer to Ryan's position at that time, the overall attributes of these gnolls were not very high, but it would undoubtedly be very troublesome if they were allowed to come to close range.

The Ranger, after all, is not a character who is naturally good at hand-to-hand combat like a warrior.

Faced with two gnolls that pounced, Ryan hurriedly shot an arrow.

The purpose of this arrow is not to inflict damage, but to temporarily confine a gnoll.

- Trap Strike!

A twisted cloud of thorny vines bound a gnolloin, who didn't expect Ryan to play yin, and roared angrily.

"The rest is your turn."

Ryan set his sights on the remaining gnoll.

In any case, close combat is inevitable.

And the agility of this body has reached a total of 19 points after counting all the bonuses, and it is only 1 point less than the transcendent attribute of 20 points, but the physique and intelligence are a little less, and the whole is actually reasonable.

Again, the focus is on overcoming nervousness!

Gnolls are much more ferocious than kobolds, but their attacks are driven by instinct. At this moment, the gnoll raised the mace in his hand and hit Ryan, and his movements looked like he was full of flaws.

Ryan rolled on the spot as he stabbed the dagger hard into the gnoll's calf.

[Hit the target, you deal 3 damage to the target!] ]

The gnoll bent his legs and stumbled forward.

Golden opportunity!

Ryan quickly got up, holding down the gnoll's body with one hand and stabbing the dagger hard into the back of the gnoll's heart with the other.

[Hit the target, you deal 10 damage to the target!] ]

[This attack is judged to be a critical attack, and the target takes +6 damage!] ]

[Target dies, you take out a Gnoll, gain 100 XP!] ]

Ryan looked at the last of the gnolls.

Trap Strike is not just a simple control skill, if the target unit is not able to break free immediately, the thorny thorns on its vines will also deal damage to them from time to time.

At this time, no matter how fierce and aggressive the character of the jackal is, it can also be seen to panic at this time, it feels that the human in front of it is like a different person compared to just now, and the composure and calmness when he does it is not at all like what he should have at his age.

"Hey, wait!"

"Don't kill me, I can offer you a treasure!"

Ryan didn't talk.

There is no point in talking too much nonsense with a gnoll at all. If it's a kobold, you might be able to talk to them, but the gnolls are different, and the treasure in the gnoll's territory is worth half as much as the kobolds at the same size, thank goodness!

Ryan raised his hand and struck a blow, turning the last gnolls into a piece of experience of his own.

"Whew...... Yes, saved," although I don't know why I haven't seen him for a while, Ryan seems to be a different person, but the gnolls are indeed dead, which makes Rick in the distance relieved, "Thank you, Ryan." Thanks to you for saving me, I would have died here. ”

Speaking of which, Rick still has some lingering palpitations.

Obviously, the whole plan was specially designed for Ryan, but at that time, he actually forgot to pay attention to his surroundings on a whim while watching in secret.

It's just unlucky!

"Quick, cut the ropes for me," Rick groaned as he urged Ryan, who was walking towards him, "These gnolls are so ruthless, I feel like my skeleton is about to break." ”

"By the way, Ryan, I haven't had time to say sorry to you yet," Seeing that Ryan didn't say a word on the road, Rick thought that the other party was angry with him, and hurriedly spoke, "I really didn't know that it was the territory of the gnolls." I'm glad you're okay, otherwise I'd have been living with guilt for the rest of my life. ”

"By the way, can you tell me how you managed to escape from so many gnolls? At that time—"

But Rick didn't finish his sentence in the end.

His eyes widened and he looked at a dagger stuck in his chest in disbelief, "Ryan, you're ......"

"The moment you do that, you should think about the consequences," Ryan said, drawing his dagger, "So, goodbye, Rick, your soul may drift through the River Styx into the Batto Hell or the Bottomless Abyss. ”

"But no matter where you are, it's where you should be."
