Chapter 16: The Green Forest Gang
This is a young woman wearing a thin pale yellow dress and a pair of high-heeled high heels. It's just that her outfit is so representative, which also makes Ryan frown from the first moment he sees her.
Here's the trouble.
Nine times out of ten, this woman is a dancer working in a tavern somewhere, or, about to be sold to that place......
But.
Anyway.
At such a time, in such a place, she appeared in this place, and absolutely nothing good would happen.
In the distance, the woman was also a little surprised to see Ryan and Aithea, as if she didn't expect to see someone else here, "I'm sorry, two, I'm ......"
Shout!
A sharp arrow of pure steel grazed the woman's ear, striking a man in a green hood and a brown woolen outfit behind her.
"Young lady, I think, we'll talk about what happened to you later."
Ryan spoke in a deep voice.
He doesn't like this kind of trouble to take the initiative to find the door, not the feeling that he takes the initiative to find the other party, but the matter has come to this point, and he has to choose to strike first.
Aren't the good people who do it, when they see themselves and Althea—especially the latter! It's hard to guarantee that some additional ideas will pop up.
Sharp steel arrows pierced the neck of the man in the green hat, causing him to collapse limply on the ground, and the sudden change made the male accomplices who followed him angry and rushed towards Ryan together.
Ryan stood in front of Athea, who had already recognized the other person's identity. This man comes from a gang called the "Green Forest Gang", and the shadow of the Green Forest gang can often be seen in the suburbs of the city or in small places. In terms of overall strength, this gang belongs to the category of third-rate people who are relatively famous and have many members. Interestingly, though, the highest leader in the Greenwood gang is a Tieflin.
As for these people who came, they were just a group of low-level rookies who had taken up the warrior or wanderer profession, and after having the sub-class of "Fairy Wanderer", Ryan naturally didn't take them seriously.
[Hit the target, you deal 10 damage to the target!] ]
[This attack is judged to be a critical attack, and the target takes +4 damage!] Receive an additional bonus from the "Fairy Rover" subclass, +4 damage you deal (Psychic Damage)]
[Target dies, you take out a Green Forest Gang, gain 50 XP!] ]
Only 50 experience.
Ryan was a little disappointed that he had risen in the class level at the beginning, but the more difficult it became to move up later on. For example, it takes 900 XP to level 3, but if you want to raise your class level to Level 4, you need 2700 XP, and when your character's attributes reach the "Advanced" and "Part-time" criteria, you will need more XP to move up to one level.
"Kill him! This woman is the woman that the boss has a crush on, and if we don't succeed in bringing her back, the boss will skin us! ”
At this time, more and more people from the Green Forest Gang rushed out, and Ryan glanced at the number and found that all of them added up to only five in total, so he had a plan in his heart.
"Looks like we're going to consume a spell slot."
Ryan calmed down.
A Class Level 3 Ranger with a total of three one-ring spell slots, now is clearly the best time to use them.
However, just as Ryan was about to take control of the first few members of the Green Forest Gang who rushed to the front, and then deal with the others, there was a sudden sound like broken glass beside him.
The next moment, Ryan saw a scene that made him quite jaw-dropping.
I saw that Althea held one hand flat, and a blue-white ray shot out from her palm, which was obviously the "cryo ray" that can cause more damage (1D8) among the mage's many tricks.
Ryan remembered that ten days earlier, Althea had told him that she had learned the trick of light. This is a very basic low-level trick, and the difficulty of getting started is relatively low, but the cryo ray is almost comparable to the first ring spell in terms of both practical level and memory difficulty.
It's only been a long time!
The cryoray was learned by Aithea the night before her departure, and although it was a lot of consumption for her now, seeing Ryan's stunned expression, Aisia still felt inexplicably relieved.
This scene also brought a lot of shock to the Green Forest gang that came up in the follow-up. Thinking that before they even had time to do something, two of their companions had already died, and negative emotions such as fear and retreat began to flood their hearts, and they could no longer bear the intrusion of these negative emotions, and they all retreated.
"Ryan—"
The corners of Athea's mouth turned up slightly, and she was about to brag to her childhood sweetheart, but she saw that Ryan didn't seem to pay attention to her, and pulled the reins of the horse, "Athea, stay here, I'll go and kill all these people." ”
"Hey—"
"It's nothing, don't worry about me," Ryan muttered, "they've remembered what we look like, and if we don't clean those tails." It's hard to guarantee what will happen later. ”
All right.
That's right.
But can't you praise me?
It's so angry!
Althea thought to herself.
"That ......" The woman looked at the three corpses lying on the ground, as well as Ryan who was chasing away, and couldn't help but raise her head and said, "Thank you." ”
"Thank you, I'm just killing one," Althea glanced at the woman, "By the way, what's your name and why are you in this place?" ”
……
Probably because Ryan was riding a horse under his crotch, the disparity in speed made the remaining Green Forest gangs have a fire of survival in their hearts.
"It seems that it is not possible to make a decision here today," a shorter man scolded, "Brothers, this time he only came alone, why don't we fight him directly!" ”
The man seemed to be the leader of the Greenwood gang, and at his command, the other gang members pounced on Ryan, while the diminutive leader took two daggers from his waist and waited for an opportunity to pounce on Ryan after his accomplice.
Ryan shook his head.
The career of the physics department is sad in this place. This little boss knows how to use his men as cover is undoubtedly a very clever move, but unfortunately unless they find a way to close the distance in an instant, this method alone is not enough.
Ryan took off his longbow and placed an arrow on it.
Ranger isn't proficient in spells, but it's enough to clean up these unlucky guys!
Hail!
In an instant, an arrow made of stainless steel shot towards the gang with a rain of thorns!
