221. Wind Fox
Roy knew the young half-blood elf hunters, but wondered how they were here, so he asked them:
"Why are you here?"
A few young half-blood elves hesitated, you push me, I push you, everyone pushed for a long time, before a half-blood elf stood up and said to Roy:
"That...... Roy, we want to join the party. ”
"You'll have to tell Instructor Nora about this."
Roy is a little helpless, no matter how this kind of thing is, he can't find his head, he is a newcomer who has just joined the adventure group and has not yet been a full term, and these half-blood elf hunters really can't figure out what to do.
"Instructors, they are camping downstream, I'm going to take a shower, you go to her and talk about it, but it may not be successful, Instructor Nora shouldn't have any plans to recruit new people!" Roy said to the young half-blood elf hunters.
The half-blood elven hunters grimaced.
Roy didn't want to worry about it, Instructor Nora couldn't be persuaded in a word or two, he squatted down by the waterhole and washed his face, ready to wash the dirty clothes he had changed into.
The half-blood elven hunters could only walk downstream along the stream.
When Roy had washed his clothes, had a good shower, and changed into dry clothes and returned to the camp, he happened to see the young half-blood elven hunters leave the camp with their heads down.
You don't have to ask to know that Instructor Nora must have rejected them.
Roy walked into the camp, and Instructor Nora was talking to the other instructors about it, and when he saw Roy coming back from outside with his wet hair, he said to Roy:
"Roy, I heard those elven hunters say that you told them we set up camp here?"
"Well, I saw them next to the waterfall upstream, and they told me they wanted to join the party, so I'll ask them to come and ask you......" Roy replied honestly.
"The next time you encounter this kind of thing, just refuse it directly, we are the Castletown Elf Academy Adventure Group, and we only recruit teachers and students from this academy."
Instructor Nora said to Roy.
"Got it, Instructor Nora." Roy said hurriedly.
Scarlett Magician sat next to Instructor Nora and protested to Instructor Nora:
"Nora, hearing you say this, I found out that I am the only one in the adventure group who is not from your Elven Academy, and according to your recruitment conditions, I still can't meet the recruitment standards......
"Speaking of which, Scarlett also graduated from the Elf Academy." Instructor Eleanor said from the side.
Scarlett Wizard and Instructor Nora are close friends, and they often quarrel with each other.
Sabrina was practicing swordsmanship by the stream, with Instructor Virgil instructing her, and Miss Christine sitting on a boulder by the stream, staring intently at Instructor Virgil with big blue eyes.
Roy hung his freshly washed wet clothes on a clothesline pulled up outside the tent and prepared to lie down in the tent for a while.
Guide Marjery saw that Instructor Nora had finished talking, and hurriedly came over.
Instructor Nora gathered all the members of the party and sat down together.
Wizard Marjery said to Instructor Nora: "Tomorrow a little further ahead, the caravan will enter the next village, if you are not prepared to buy magic herbs, it is useless to follow the caravan into the village, there are often wind foxes in this mountain range, if you don't want to camp in the village, we can go separately with the caravan tomorrow morning."
The caravan will be in the village for a day or so, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to wander around the neighborhood, and I know of several Windfox hideouts.
The morning after tomorrow, we will rush to the Tiger Leaping Gorge in front, and I will meet at the entrance of the canyon with the head of the caravan Sindeji, and the caravan will wait for us at the entrance of the canyon. ”
Instructor Nora discussed it with several other instructors a little and felt that such an arrangement as Marjery's guide was still feasible.
Next, the Marjery guide will introduce you to the Partington Wind Fox, this kind of monster is not a product unique to Partington, in fact, other planes also have this kind of primary Magic, the northern part of the Wind Fox on the Partington plane is turquoise, the leather belongs to the wind element affinity, and the gloves made of this wind fox skin are very popular among the elf archers.
Elven hunters love to hunt wind foxes.
"Gru, your gloves should have been replaced with a new one a long time ago, whether you can get a new pair of gloves depends on our luck tomorrow!"
Instructor Fergill, who was sitting next to Sabrina, quipped to Instructor Gru.
Instructor Gru looked at the gloves on his hands, which were indeed very worn, and said, "I must hunt two wind foxes tomorrow!" ”
"Then it's decided, we'll set off tomorrow morning to hunt wind foxes in the nearby jungle."
Instructor Nora decided.
Early the next morning, the adventure group did not follow the caravan and continued south, and the attendants in the caravan also told the instructors that there were often wind foxes in the vicinity......
Led by Marjery's guide, the group descended into the jungle on this side.
……
At the edge of the oak forest, a chipmunk jumped down from a fir tree, its fluffy tail was like a dandelion-like parachute, which greatly slowed down the momentum of the fall, and the moment it jumped to the ground, the two front legs landed first, and the body immediately formed a ball, and after the hind legs landed on the ground, it kicked forward sharply, and the body turned into a phantom and rushed under an oak tree.
The golden oak tree grew more than thirty meters tall, almost reaching the waist of a fir tree, and its huge crown was covered with green acorns.
The chipmunk's mouth was almost full, and then it crouched down in front of the roots, looked carefully to the left and right, and found no other beasts, and then began to dig hard to bury all the acorns in its mouth.
Suddenly, it smelled a faint smell of foxes, and its flower-colored fluff stood up at the roots, and its paws grabbed the trunk of the oak tree violently, and scurried towards the top of the tree.
A wind blade flew from the grass behind it, drawing a spiral trajectory in the air, and I don't know how many barren grass leaves were broken, and just as the chipmunk climbed to the top of the tree, it stabbed its body with precision.
The chipmunk's soft body was suddenly cut into two pieces and fell to the forest meadow.
An adult wind fox with a blue back came out of the grass, grabbed the upper body of the chipmunk that had been cut in two, and swallowed half of the chipmunk into its stomach after chewing it a few bites.
The remaining half was also bitten off by the wind fox and swallowed it in a few bites.
It was just about to turn around and burrow into the wild grass, when it suddenly looked at the golden oak tree next to it, its slender eyes narrowed, and its body fell down, almost touching the ground.
The figure of Instructor Gru appeared on the branch of the oak tree, and his battle bow was full.
Adult wind foxes can almost grow to more than sixty pounds, its body has the wind element affinity, good at using wind blade magic, although they are suspicious and timid by nature, but their nature is also very ferocious, especially adult wind foxes have almost no natural enemies in the woodland.
Many times, when the wind fox encounters an elf hunter, it will fight first, and even if it can't be defeated, it can escape......
At this moment, when the wind fox saw Instructor Gru, he didn't choose to run away at the first time, he tried his best to lie down and hide in the grass.
The life demon pattern on his neck suddenly lit up, and in an instant, a cloud of wind blades condensed in his mouth, and the moment the wind fox spit out the wind blade, Instructor Gru also took advantage of this to almost shoot an arrow.
Instructor Gru hadn't even thought about how to dodge the Wind Blade, because he wasn't fighting alone.
When the wind blade shot out of the wind fox's mouth, there was an extra figure with a shield in front of Instructor Gru.
An ice spear also shot at the wind fox against the turf......
After spewing out the wind blade, the wind fox twisted its body nimbly to the side, and the arrows shot by Instructor Gru almost grazed its hair, and all of them sank into the dirt.
It's just that the wind fox didn't find the ice gun, and when it did, the ice gun was already close at hand.
And under the control of Scarlett Magician, this nearly two-meter-long ice gun was not meant to shoot through the Wind Fox at all......
Just when the wind fox's body twisted and dodged the ice gun, the ice gun actually exploded with a 'bang' next to the wind fox, and under the snow and fog, the wind fox rushed out of the ice mist with countless ice slags all over his body.
Under the threat of death, its body almost burst out to its full potential, and its legs kicked the ground violently, and its body rushed forward seven or eight meters......
Although his speed did not decrease, his ice-covered body was obviously unable to continue to twist his body in the air.
……
Roy held up his small round shield and blocked the incoming Wind Blade for Instructor Gru, who nearly fell off the tree.
Instructor Gru then jumped down from the tree, drew his bow and arrows, and shot them at the Wind Fox one after another.
Unfortunately, the wind fox was running too fast, and Instructor Gru landed three arrows in a row on its body.
I watched the wind fox flee in the direction where Miss Christine was hiding.
At this moment, Miss Christine stood up from the grass with a nervous expression, and aimed at the oncoming wind fox, her forehead instantly filled with sweat.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Sabrina emerged from the grass beside Miss Christine, clenched her heavy sword, and whispered to Miss Christine.
Miss Christine was just worried that an arrow would put her in danger.
So I didn't dare to shoot the arrow in my hand all the time, but now with Sabrina's comfort, I immediately had courage......
An arrow shot at the wind fox.
The wind fox was covered in ice slag, unable to twist in the air, and was hit by the arrow, which passed under the wind fox's neck, and the tip of the arrow came out of the wind fox's belly.
The ice-covered Wind Fox slammed into the grass and rolled on the grass for a long distance, just in front of Sabrina's boots.
Sabrina stepped forward, grabbed the shaft of the arrow, and lifted the not yet dead Wind Fox from the ground.
Seeing that the part of the wind fox's chest suddenly became a tide, Miss Christine on the side hurriedly took out a silver dagger from her waist and wiped it on the wind fox's neck.
The wind fox whimpered, and the wind blade in its mouth was already half formed, like a small half of a wind ball in its mouth, and then exploded with a bang, blowing up the wind fox's jaw to shreds......
Wind Fox's counterattack before he died scared Sabrina.
It also made her very embarrassed, and the two young ladies were splashed with fox blood, but the two didn't seem to care too much, looked at each other and smiled, and put on the posture of a winner.
……
Then Instructor Gru, Scarlett Magician, Instructor Nora, and Instructor Virgil came from all sides one after another.
Instructor Nora saw the wind fox with half of his head missing, frowned and held it in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "How did you make it look like this?" How did it blow up its head? ”
Instructor Gru was also looking at the arrow holes on Wind Fox's body, and said to Miss Christine:
"It's only a little off, and if it can pass through its heart, it probably won't have the strength to fight back.
Both of you are going to take this lesson this time, and don't come near any prey until it's completely dead.
Be sure to wait until it's completely dead before cutting off its head, so that you can be safe. ”
Miss Christine was taught, nodded, and whispered in agreement.
Sabrina's face was also slightly red, and this time it was clear that she had made a mistake of common sense that had implicated Miss Christine.
Instructor Eleanor came out of the grass and beckoned to everyone:
"Let's hurry up, I've found another ...... in the jungle over there"
Instructor Nora's eyes lit up, and he stuffed the wind fox into his magic waist bag and said to everyone, "Let's keep up the good work and try to hunt another one!" ”
Several instructors have a lot of experience in hunting in the jungle, and several of them cooperate with each other to encircle the surrounding area.
The Gru instructor will wait for the prey to be delivered at the best shooting spot.
In just one day, the adventure group hunted and killed four wind foxes, except for the first one, which was shot by Miss Christine's supplementary arrow, and the other three wind foxes all died at the hands of Instructor Gru.
From the prey picked up, it can be seen at a glance that the level of archery has been high, and almost all the wind foxes shot by Instructor Gru are shot through the heart with an arrow, and there is only one arrow hole on the body.
Instructor Nora looked delighted.
In the evening, I also reviewed with everyone and studied what was not done during the day......
However, after all, they are just some junior demonic beast wind foxes, and their own value is not high, except for the wind attribute fur that is sought after by the elven archers, there is nothing else valuable on the body.
Instructor Nora didn't plan to stay in this area, so he stayed here for one night, and then led by Majerry's guide, to the entrance of Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The members of the adventure group arrived at the entrance of Tiger Leaping Gorge at noon, and the caravan had not yet arrived.
It is known as Tiger Leaping Gorge, which means that the canyon is very narrow, and the crevasse overhead is so narrow that even a tiger can jump over it.
Ahead is a large mountain forest, and the caravan horses cannot pass through the steep mountain forest without taking the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and there are some harpies hiding in the crevices of the rock wall of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but those guys will only fly out to hunt if they are hungry.
They rarely fight the idea of passing elven caravans, and generally prefer to catch large herbivores in the mountains and forests.
But speaking of which, these harpies are more or less a threat to be entrenched here......
It's just that there are many stone caves on both sides of Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the residences of these harpy banshees are not fixed, and elf hunters usually can't catch them.
