"Can I ask more about the series of Orion disappearances before Captain Ducky entered the Eternal Winter Forest?" Instead of rushing to take on the task, David asked a series of questions: "And what is the situation of Captain Ducky's men?" ”

With these questions, David kept talking to the sheriff, and soon determined that the sheriff in front of him named Shane was not a pure brainless NPC, but a living 'person'.

The other party has their own life and their own ideas, and they are not mechanical tools just to complete the work of publishing tasks.

As for why this sheriff triggers a dialogue similar to that of a game NPC when he sees him, it is all based on the basic common sense of this continent.

David learned from Sheriff Shane about some basic common sense information that he hadn't asked from Assegos.

There are many cities on the entire continent of Yanera, and these cities are their own countries and are not affiliated with each other.

In other words, the continent of Yanela is still in the era of city-states, and there are large areas of disorder between forces.

At the same time, there are various races on the continent of Yanera, such as humans, forest elves, dark elves, mountain dwarves, crypt dwarves, half-orcs, half-demons, and so on.

Some of these races are scattered throughout the continent, while others have gathered into tribes, villages and towns to form their own forces.

Generally speaking, it is the own business that is in charge of itself, and no one cares about things that are not within the scope of the territory - which has given rise to a special group of adventurers.

Adventurers are similar to mercenaries, and there is almost no difference between the two, both of them earn money by accepting various commissions, while the composition of adventurers is very complex, and there are all kinds of races.

But adventurers have a few things in common: they have extraordinary abilities and love to wander around!

Generally speaking, nine out of ten adventurers are adventurers who are not unfamiliar faces of locals and can still appear to have never been in trouble.

"By the way, you're a bard?"

"Your vision is amazing, how do you see it?"

"I've been a sheriff for many years, and I've seen some adventurers, handsome young men like you who can speak well, and who are basically bards."

David smiled, drank all the drinks Sheriff Shane had invited, and prepared to take a closer look before heading into the Eternal Winter Forest to investigate what was going on with Captain Dutsy and his men.

"Good luck!"

David nodded, smiled and left the small inn with Laura.

Standing on the largest gravel road in Eternal Winter Town, David ignored Laura's question: "Bard? ”

"What? Can't I just be a bard? David pointed to his face, is there a problem with pretending to be a bard for his charisma?

"Do you know how to play the piano? Or can you sing? ”

"You want to hear me sing?"

"Speaking of which, I've never heard you sing...... Maybe later when I encounter enemies or beasts, you can sing and cheer me on. ”

"Nice suggestion, that's it!"

After a brief turn around the town of Eternal Winter, he followed the information Davy had asked for from Sheriff Shane and headed towards the depths of the Eternal Winter Forest.

The two men were so bold that they did not rest in the town for a night, waiting until the next morning before entering the forest.

They didn't think there was anything in the forest that could threaten them, as for the element that caused Dutch and his team to disappear en masse......

"You think we're going to meet the Predator? Or do you encounter an alien? ”

Laura looked at the portrait of Captain Dutsy that she had received from Sheriff Shane, and the Terminator's sense of immediacy finally reminded her of where she had seen this 'plot'.

"Predator, right?"

The squad led by the Governor of the Forest California, this is obviously the plot of the Predator, although there are some slight changes, but the general direction has not changed.

"If it's an alien, we shouldn't be touching Ducky, it should be Ripley."

"Is Ripley on the list?"

"Nope."

The two of them walked freely through the forest, and the thick snow did not make them feel any difficulty, and neither of them needed to look closely, and they could find the most correct route with only their eyes and feelings.

Both David and Laura have a wealth of experience in the wild, and with the improvement of their respective qualities and the knowledge of a large number of 'hunters', their abilities in this area have been greatly strengthened.

It can be said that both are experts in survival in the wild, which is why Laura stayed here with Davy, not only Laura is more adventurous.

"It's getting dark." Laura looked up at the night sky with a beautiful aurora, she didn't expect to see such a beautiful view here: "Continue on your way or rest for the night?" ”

"Go ahead, I have a hunch that I will find something in the near future."

"Hope your feeling is accurate!"

David's sense was accurate, and after another hour of walking, David and Laura found clues to Ducky's team.

It was a few soldiers who had died horribly, and the broken bodies were left there, one of them stripped naked and hanging from a nearby tree.

David glanced around, and instead of finding Dutchy's body, he found the Predator hiding in the shadows preparing to scare him, and Dutchy's head hanging from his waist.

“……”

David felt speechless, this Predator thought that he couldn't find him if he was invisible? Naive!

Glancing at Laura, who secretly replied with a 'I found it too' expression, she grabbed the mechanical bow that had been transformed into her hand without warning, and took out an arrow from her ring.

Draw the bow!

Infuse the Light!

Holy Light Shot!

Rumble!

The whole set of actions was smooth and in one go, and the moment Laura let go, the Predator had been hit solidly by the Holy Light Shot, and the huge Holy Light infused on the arrow burst out with a dazzling light, which not only caused heavy damage to the Predator, but also lifted the Predator's stealth state.

Looking at the flickering light and electricity on the Predator's body, it seems that this powerful arrow has broken the Predator's stealth function.

The fallen Predator did not lose consciousness, and his excellent combat awareness allowed him to launch a counterattack at the first time, and the plasma cannon on his shoulder sent out a beam of light, although it did not hit David and Laura, but it became a barrage, blasting dust, snow, and sawdust from tree trunks everywhere, trying to cover his next move.

The Predator's response can't be said to be bad, if it's an ordinary adventurer...... Well, ordinary adventurers may be directly attacked by him, like Ducky's team.

At this time, facing David and Laura, his resistance was all meaningless dying struggles, and the barrage formed by the Dao plasma beam, as well as the dust and snowflakes in the sky, could not stop Laura at all.

The Predator, completely unaware that he had been 'marked', was hit by several arrows in quick succession, one of which smashed the shoulder cannon with precision.

The Predator, who was no longer able to stand and knelt on the ground, looked at the approaching human, the woman who seemed neither tall nor strong, actually knocked herself down so easily, which made him have a huge doubt in his heart: The women of this planet, how can they be so strong?

However, in the next second, his doubts were broken by a strange and loud voice:

"You're my little apple, I can't love you too much......"

The loud, high-pitched voice could be heard far away in the silent night, but that wasn't the point, the point was that the Predator and Laura were in a state of confusion at the same time, and Laura even shot the lore that could kill the Predator in front of her.

“……”

After taking out the arrow again, it was still an arrow full of holy light, and after perfectly controlling the strength, the arrow exploded the Predator's chest, killing the enemy while leaving a whole corpse.

"Fill it with wine and let you stay...... Hey? David was singing happily next to him, when he suddenly felt something, and looked at the Predator who had just been shot by Laura in surprise: "It seems that this plan has a trick." ”

"You've upgraded?"

"I'm so good, how can I level up so easily." David closed his eyes and felt it carefully: "I just feel that I finally have a connection with the ground under my feet, and I no longer resist each other as much as I did at the beginning." ”

"That's good news." Laura just remembered that David should have killed the Predator, but her whole brain was buzzing just now, David's singing voice was terrible, but fortunately it didn't affect anything: "In addition, you sing very well, don't sing again in the future." ”

"......" David had just decided that he would act as a bard on the continent of Yanera.

I didn't expect that I would be forced to be laid off after only being a bard for less than a day: "I just used the shadow magic to sing, and it didn't have any effect? ”

"No, the effect is so good, even I have been affected." Laura then understood why the Predator's whole person became sluggish, why his brain suddenly became inflexible, and it turned out that he was really affected by David's singing: "However, when did you master the shadow magic?" ”

"Temporarily extracted from Shadow Space." The consequence of learning to stealth is to let David know how to 'connect' with the Shadow Space.

Now that he knows where that world is, it is not difficult for a spellcaster like him to take some energy to come over.

He wasn't prepared to store the Shadow Energy in his body, it was all used and pumped, and it was not difficult for David anyway.

However, unless he can solve the problem of indistinguishing between friend and foe as soon as possible, he will not have a chance to continue to use the shadow magic to sing.

Especially when David and Laura, returning to Eternal Winter with the Predator and Dutchy's corpses, learn that the entire town had a collective nightmare last night, and he knows that his career (bards) has indeed come to an end.

Speaking of which, the main character I had in mind was the Bard......
