218. Shadow of the Mist
Instructor Fergill, who is a swordsmanship instructor, wiped the neck of a sheep-headed monster with the elven sword in his hand almost as soon as he came into contact with the sheep-headed monster.
And Instructor Eleanor also explained to Roy the way a ranger fights, light, flexible and coordinated, she swims freely under the blows of two sheep-headed monsters, like a dancer dancing on the tip of a knife, the dance steps are gorgeous, and the elven sword in her hand almost turns out sword flowers.
Instructor Gru is another extreme way to fight, standing on a tree branch and not giving the sheep-headed a chance to get close at all.
When Eleanor, Fergil, and Roy blocked the five sheepheads, and only one sheephead really chased after him, Instructor Gru no longer dodged, he stood on the side of a large tree, facing the rushing sheep-headed monsters, Gru drew the short bow in his hand.
Just as the sheep-headed monster leaped forward, Instructor Gru shot the arrow in his hand just right.
An arrow wrapped in the power of the wind elemental turned into a white light, and in an instant, it pierced through the center of the sheep's eyebrows, and a streak of blood flew out of the back of the head with the arrow.
The sheepshead's body also fell backwards in midair, and then fell heavily on the forest meadow, blood flowing all over the ground.
A lot of times the fight is like that, one touch is on the verge and then it ends quickly.
These sheep-headed monsters are apparently the natives of the Partington plane.
Generally speaking, after entering a certain plane, the elves will not deliberately suppress or kill the local aborigines, and the elves pursue the way of nature.
"There's a big misty jungle here, maybe it's an exception, and when we get back, I'll probably tell the news to the villagers of Tinas Village, sorry, I may not be able to keep it a secret for you." Margery whispered to Instructor Nora.
"Roy, in the Partington plane, these sheep-headed monsters are synonymous with danger, and they may be able to strike you a fatal blow from where you can't see at any time." Instructor Eleanor said to Roy: "So when we meet them, the best way is to kill them directly, if there are too many sheep-headed monsters on the opposite side, then we must evacuate decisively, without any hesitation and luck, although they only have primary intelligence, but their perception is not bad at all." ”
Instructor Virgil said that the head of a sheep-headed monster was cut off, wiped the blood, and a piece of skin was peeled off the sheep-headed monster, wrapped it simply, and put it in the magic waist bag.
Guide Marjery walked over from behind and said with some surprise.
"Of course, that's what we're supposed to do, and even if you don't, we'll say it." Instructor Nora said.
……
Seeing the corpses of these sheep-headed monsters, Roy even had a little evil thought.
Instructor Virgil took out the sheep's head that had been stored in his magic belt bag and placed it in front of Majerry's guide.
Instructor Eleanor looked at Instructor Nora who was wet and said with a smile:
"We didn't find the clue for the blue ice deer, but we ran into a couple of sheep-headed monsters, and now they're buried here!"
In the misty jungle around Hantan, it is likely that there is still a tribe of sheep-headed monsters, this group of sheep-headed monsters ran to the edge of the jungle to hunt, but their luck was a little bad, and before entering the misty jungle, they met Eleanor's group.
Everyone gathered around again, looking at the bloody sheep's head, Sabrina and Christine even covered their mouths, holding back the intense nausea.
He wanted to remove a little bit of meat from the sheep's head and make a kebab.
Looking at the small round shield on Roy's arm and the sacred scepter standing beside him, Instructor Eleanor remembered Nora's intention of bringing Roy closer to the party, and she had brought Roy into the group just to allow him to take the place of the priest of the Temple of the Moon.
"Roy, you're not the kind of warrior with strength, and you don't have enough strength to make effective kills against enemies with blunt weapons, so I suggest that you use sharp weapons like scimitars, swords, and spears as much as possible when you don't have enough strength."
"So, most of the sheep-headed monsters on the Pattington plane are north of Padstow now?" Instructor Nora asked again.
The team had just encountered a group of sheep-headed monsters, and Roy actually rushed to the battlefield with a shield, making the instructors forget that Roy himself was a priest.
"When fighting, you have to be consistent and silky, so that your opponent has no chance, you are now learning elementary martial arts with Nora, and then you will also learn intermediate martial arts and advanced martial arts, preferably with elven bow skills."
Roy hurriedly and seriously explained to Instructor Virgil: "Instructor, the battle just now was too sudden, and I wasn't even ready, otherwise I would definitely be able to smash that sheep's head!" ”
"Roy, beginner martial arts training is a course that all combat officers must learn, but learning various martial arts courses later has a lot to do with what kind of path you want to take in the future. Before taking each course, you need to understand the usefulness of learning this martial art, for example, practicing bow can improve your body's flexibility and balance, which is not only great for archers, but also for rangers and swordsmen, but for sword dancers, bow is not a compulsory course. ”
Obviously, Roy's performance just now fell into the eyes of the three instructors.
"That's great!"
"Got it, Instructor Eleanor."
"O Battle Priest! It's a relatively unpopular combat class, and we can't give you any advice at all, because we don't know much about it ourselves! ”
For the elves, the blasphemy of the moon god is the most intolerable, followed by the fact that these sheep-headed monsters seem to like female elves very much, and in order to be able to get elven women, the sheep-headed monsters even ignore life and death.
Instructor Nora turned to Instructor Eleanor and asked her:
"Eleanor, you must be scouting around! What did you find? ”
Instructor Eleanor pointed to the bottom of the tree.
"No, I didn't find any information other than the sheep-headed monsters we killed!" Instructor Eleanor spread out his hands and whispered, "After entering the misty jungle, I have a feeling as if the whole forest has abandoned me......"
"It used to be, but then there were several rapes and murders in the villages near Padesto, and the sheep-headed monsters even held moon worship ceremonies in the tribe, and everyone drove these sheep-headed monsters to the north of Partington, in fact, there were several expeditions on the side of the moon temple, but because of the long distance, the expeditionary force had to announce ......the withdrawal of the army halfway," the guide Majery explained to the group.
Instructor Nora relieved Instructor Eleanor.
Instructor Virgil and Instructor Gru began to dig a pit under a tree next to it, Roy hurriedly ran over to help, the root system next to the big tree is very developed, so it is not easy to dig a deep pit, this time it is necessary to bury six sheep-headed monsters and a wild boar, so the three of them have to work hard to dispose of these sheep-headed monsters.
Instructor Gru pulled out the arrow that had been shot into the sheep's head, rinsed it with water, and put it back in the quiver, and was sitting under the tree resting, when he heard Instructor Eleanor say this, he hurriedly said to Roy:
At the beginning, the elves entered the Partington plane, saw these sub-human tribes of sheepheads, and planned to educate these sheepheads......
"Sheep's head? I've never heard from the villagers of Tinas Village that there are sheep's head monsters around here! ”
The elves could not tolerate these sheep-headed monsters for two main reasons, the first was the matter of faith, the sheep-headed monsters worship the moon, and on every full moon night, the sheep-headed people will hold a grand celebration in the tribe, almost all night carnival. The second point is that they are greedy and bloodthirsty, and they love to be lustful by nature, and at the end of each carnival, the sheep-headed people will contribute to the reproduction of the tribe.
Roy hurriedly wrote it down.
Instructor Eleanor reconnoitred around and found no other sheep-headed monsters, so she dug a pit with everyone to bury the corpses while waiting for Instructor Nora and them.
"These sheep-headed monsters are the natives of Partington?" Instructor Nora asked.
"Instructor Eleanor, you may have forgotten that I was also a trainee priest of the Liberty Temple, so I'm going to become a combat priest!"
The three instructors looked at each other, some of them not knowing what to say.
The group left the misty forest and returned to the village of Tinas along the dense forest.
……
There are also sheep-headed people on this side of Tinas Village, probably because there is a cold pool here, and a large area of mist shrouds this mountain forest.
Instructor Eleanor was taken aback: "Do you want to be a Templar of the Moon Temple?" It's impossible for a half-elf to join the Moon Temple, so give up on this idea! ”
Roy humbly was taught, and the sheep-headed monster in front of him just now was solved by Eleanor's instructor.
Roy explained.
In fact, Roy was also annoyed just now, because he was too hasty during the battle, not only did he not cast the 'Power Blessing', but he didn't even have time to open the Demon Pattern Structure, so he was so embarrassed by the sheep's head monster.
Guide Marjery was surprised and said: "It's really a male adult sheepshead, these guys were driven to the north of the Partington plane by the elves of Paddestow a long time ago, I didn't expect this remnant sheep-headed tribe to live here......"
Instructor Virgil wiped the blood from the blade of the sheep's head on the hairy carcass of the sheepshead.
Instructor Eleanor patted Roy on the shoulder and said to Roy:
"Instructor Virgil's advice is for you to win in an easier way, but what I want to say to you is that in the fight, all your movements are too stiff because of nervousness, and nervousness is precisely the most useless thing, Roy, nervousness does not allow you to win the battle, so you need to overcome this fear."
In the tumbling white mist, a huge ice-blue moose suddenly ran out, its antlers were like a flower tree, with countless ice flowers printed on its body, and a crystal clear ice path under its feet, surrounded by a faint wind and snow.
The three instructors sat under the tree, tasting a sweet and sour berry they had just gathered, while discussing the battle they had just taken.
Instructor Eleanor pointed at Instructor Gru and said to Roy with a smile, "If you want to learn the bow technique, there is a good teacher who can help you do some foundation in advance." ”
These sheep-headed monsters are a subhuman race, not even as intelligent as the fishmen who live by the sea, they do not have a language of their own, but they live in groups, they can make simple tools and animal skin clothes, and they have learned to use fire.
Because the Marjery guide was walking with Instructor Nora, there was no fear that Instructor Nora would get lost in the Misty Jungle.
"Maybe it's too cold on this side of the Misty Jungle, and the plants in the jungle are also in a semi-dormant state, so they don't have any memories left in their bodies."
Because Instructor Nora is a half-blood elf, the Luna Temple priest is reluctant to join Instructor Nora's adventure party, so Instructor Nora finds Roy.
Speaking of the Goddess of Liberty Temple, in fact, the instructors also heard that the Statue of Liberty Temples in various parts of the Elven Continent were gradually disappearing, but obviously this was not a good topic, so the instructors took the initiative to keep silent.
"How can there be sheep-headed monsters here, doesn't it mean that the sheep-headed people on the Partington plane have long since died?"
"It turns out that you came out a long time ago, and we were still worried about you just now, and it seems that you didn't find any clues about the blue ice deer?"
But after the elves who preached knowledge paid a heavy price, the elves found that the sword was far more useful than books.
Roy thought for a moment before he said to several instructors:
"I think I'll be a warrior in the future, I want to fight with a war hammer in my hand and a shield at the front of the battlefield......"
Of course, these are not the reasons why the elves slaughtered them.
"How can you kill it!" Instructor Eleanor was also wiping the longsword in his hand with a handkerchief, and said casually, "Most of the sheep-headed natives have just been driven to other parts of the Partington plane. ”
Then he added, "This will give you a noticeable improvement in battle." ”
Seeing Instructor Eleanor taking Gru, Virgil, and Roy outside the Misty Jungle, and even drying the leather armor on his body, Instructor Nora shouted to Instructor Eleanor:
"That's pretty much it, at least south of Padstow, it's hard to see sheep's head up to the griffon barrier." Wizard Majery replied.
When burying the last sheep-headed monster, Roy leaned over its wound and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a smell that could not be concealed.
At present, sheep-headed monsters are rarely seen near the city of Padstow.
It wasn't long before Instructor Nora and another team came out of the misty jungle.
It's a pity that there are very few trophies that everyone can harvest from the sheep-headed monster, they are only sub-humans, not even a primary magical beast, only the sheep's head with horns has a little collection value, if you are a little more reluctant, the gun under the sheep's crotch can also be used in medicine, but only human herbalists will buy these, this thing is not popular in the elven world.
Instructor Virgil suggested to Roy.
It emerged from the misty jungle, the white mist receding in both directions.
Seeing the group completely disappear into the depths of the jungle, the male blue ice deer slowly turned around and returned to the misty jungle.
It's just that all this, Instructor Nora and the members of the adventure party don't know.
When they returned to the village of Tines, the caravan had already completed the deal with the villagers, and the head of the Sindeji regiment was camping outside the village, preparing to rest for the night and set off for the next village tomorrow morning.
