307. Pursuit
Roy woke up to find a long sword hanging above his head, and in a panic he reached the Book of Judgment on his right hand, holding the Brass Cover of the Book of Judgment to his chest.
The sword stabbed into the cover of the Book of Judgment, sending out a series of sparks.
Roy hurriedly rolled to the left, and the elven hunter named Phil stabbed his sword against Roy's arm and into his wolfskin mattress.
Phil's skills are also extremely athletic, stabbing the air with a sword, and then drawing his sword and sweeping.
The marching tent was immediately cut through a wide opening by the sword, and Roy was cornered with a prayer book.
Phil slashed at Roy's throat with his sword.
Roy held up the Book of Judgment again, and Phil's sword pressed against the Book of Judgment and cut into the four fingers of Roy's right hand, and Roy couldn't avoid it......
Elven headhunter Phil finally showed a smile on his face that he was about to succeed.
The thrill of hunting is especially strong before killing an elf.
He even wanted to squint his eyes and wait for that moment to come, but before his long sword could cut off Roy's finger, the Book of Judgment suddenly erupted into a dazzling divine pattern, and Phil then saw a small hammer of holy light fly out of the Holy Light, and this silver-handled small hammer flew out of the pages of the Book of Judgment and landed on his chest in an instant.
Phil only felt like someone had struck his chest with all his might, and he could even clearly feel the shattering of his sternum.
A warm liquid gushed out of his throat, forcing him to open his mouth, and the sticky blood flowed out of his mouth, and he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and his hands were covered with sticky blood.
He found that he couldn't breathe at the moment, and his body involuntarily fell backwards, falling straight to the ground.
……
The target chosen by the headhunter was Woods, whose tent was located right in the middle of the seven tents.
The Headhunter felt that Woods was the most threatening young elf in the party, not only because of his physical strength, but also because of his wildness in the jungle.
Imitating the steps of a cheetah, he silently approached the tent and drew the dagger in his boots, and the headhunter could hear the even breathing in the tent......
The dagger in his hand had just been set up at the door of the tent, and the headhunter only felt that the curtain at the door of the tent was suddenly separated, and a giant bear rushed out of it, staring at the headhunter with furious eyes, and a bear paw with sharp nails swept towards the headhunter's chest.
The headhunter team's body retreated sharply, but unfortunately he couldn't completely avoid the giant bear's sweep, and was swept to his left shoulder by the giant bear, and suddenly the leather armor on the headhunter's shoulder was swept out of four holes, and red blood flowed out of it.
The headhunter team held the dagger with one hand, and also cut a wound in the giant bear's claws.
The giant bear's nearly 1,000-pound body pressed over fiercely, and the headhunter team rolled on the ground again and again to avoid the giant bear's fierce pounce.
The bear let out a low growl.
'Roar ......'
After rolling around twice, the headhunter got up from the ground in embarrassment, he originally thought that he had met a powerful opponent, and as long as he waited for his companions to deal with the other elves, everyone worked together to kill the giant bear.
He stole a glance at Phil, who was on an assassination mission in the tent at the very edge, and Phil fell out of the tent and fell straight on his back.
Blood poured from Phil's mouth, and the leather cuirass was smashed into a huge dent.
Frightened, the headhunter came to his senses in an instant, and he rolled sideways again, avoiding the giant bear's claw strike.
There was a series of screams from Sam's side......
Sabrina and Moira chase out of the tent, and Moira's stabbing saber is stuck in Sam's calf.
The phantom of the sword dancer behind Sabrina actually did the same thing as her, and the double swords twisted towards Sam's neck.
The headhunter was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and he quickly stabbed the dagger in his hand at Sabrina, forcing Sabrina to shift the target to him, and Sam dragged a broken leg back and kept back.
These headhunters also have the strength of a warrior, but they didn't expect the young people in the adventure group to be so powerful......
miscalculated the strength of the other party, failed in the sneak attack, and fell behind everywhere.
……
Proda strangled Claire's neck with a rope, and if she held on for another minute, she would be able to strangle the Silver Moon Elf, who was already powerless to struggle......
Claire's face was swollen like a pig's liver, and his hands tried to grasp the rope, but the rope had strangled his neck.
He couldn't even make a cry for help, his feet were carrying warm fur sleeping bags, and he could only let out a heavy gasp sound......
Claire felt like both of her eyes were going to bulge out of her sockets, and she expected a strong feeling of vertigo to follow.
At this moment, in the tent next to her, Miss Tiffany's hands that emerged from the sink quickly drew a magic pattern circle, and the clear water in the entire sink actually gathered in front of her, and then turned into a huge wave and rushed out of her tent, and the huge wave directly overturned Claire's tent, knocking Proda and Claire to the ground at the same time.
Proda, the headhunter, came out of the marching tent soaking wet, and before he could even dodge, an ice bomb exploded on his body, and in an instant his body was covered with a thick ice shell, and his limbs were frozen a little.
Miss Tiffany was wearing a suspender pajamas, her upper body poking out of the tent, and she was holding an ice spear in her hand.
The reason why she didn't get out of the tent was because she still had a fishtail on her lower body......
Claire also took the opportunity to break free of the rope and crawled out of his tent that had been knocked over by the waves, clutching her neck and gulping in the fresh air.
At this time, Kaka also pulled out his hunting knife, ran out of the tent, and saw the elf hunter covered in frost, touching him from behind, and before the ice shell on Proda's body broke, the hunting knife in his hand stabbed Proda's waist.
They had barely made contact when two headhunters were laid down by the young elves of the adventure group......
The headhunter protects Sam and is forced to retreat step by step in the face of Sabrina's overwhelming attack.
"Sam, let's run......"
When the headhunter saw that something was wrong, he shouted to Sam behind him.
Sam's calf was cut in the same blood as Moira's stabbing saber, and he limped as he ran.
As the headhunter blew his whistle, four argali, with huge horns on their heads, rushed out of the darkest part of the forest, and the two elven headhunters, who had been slightly injured, skillfully jumped onto the back of the argali, and the argali, avoiding Woods's giant bear, Miss Tiffany's ice spear, evaded Sabrina's interception, and fled west after a few turnback jumps.
The camp was in shambles......
Claire's tent, in particular, felt like another frost after a flood.
Claire was wearing a wet pajamas, squatting in the stagnant water to catch the scores soaked in the water, and the strangulation marks on his neck were very eye-catching.
Kaka also tried to summon the griffin over to pursue the two fleeing headhunters, but was stopped by Roy.
Woods got into the tent, and as the tent slowly fell, Woods' body slowly turned into an elf.
Woods changed into a linen outfit, came out of the tent, looked at the mess, and said angrily to Roy:
"Damn, these guys even dared to take the initiative to find them."
Roy walked up to Claire's side and was relieved to see that there was only some bruising on his neck.
"They must have found our whereabouts in that wood, and followed the footprints we left behind......"
"So I want to say it! In the jungle, we don't know if we're prey or hunters...... We must take the initiative! Claire's voice was a little hoarse, but emotionally stable.
"Then chase ...... We're going to catch up with them tomorrow morning, and if we dare to reach out to us, we'll take them all back to Fortress Town!" Roy said hatefully.
Then he walked up to the wounded elf, sat down on a tree root, looked at the wounded elf's somewhat excited face, and asked, "Can you tell me about those elven headhunters, anything you know?" ”
"I don't know where they came from, they suddenly appeared on the Pagisto Plateau more than half a year ago, maybe they had before, but we didn't find out, and they didn't do anything ......to us," the wounded elf said to Roy.
"During this half a year, they have almost become the strongest armed force on the Pagisto Plateau, usually those mine owners do not dare to provoke these headhunters, I estimate that they have at least dozens of headhunters in their hands, they are not only cruel and ruthless, each headhunter also has rich experience in jungle survival."
Hearing the injured elf say that there were dozens of members of the headhunter gang, Roy hesitated slightly.
"This time they came down from the plateau, there should only be a small team." The wounded elf said again.
Roy didn't bother to clean up the messy camp, just spread out a map, raised a cloud of holy light, and looked at the distance from here to the border line of the Pagisto Plateau.
"Then we'll find a way to intercept them before they return to the Pagisto Plateau." Roy said.
……
There were also two elven headhunter corpses left in the camp, one of which Roy had broken his heart with the hammer of judgment, and the other of which had been frozen into a lump of ice by Miss Tiffany, with Kaka mending it from behind.
Roy has a history of killing, so he didn't react too strongly when he killed an elven headhunter this time.
Miss Tiffany had also killed the half-blood elf, Abt, so she didn't have much to worry about.
Kaka, who followed behind to mend the knife, did not react.
In the adventure group, Moira is the only one who does not have this experience, and Miss Tiffany has been comforting Moira.
Woods and Claire dug two large pits in the woods, then wrapped the hapless elf headhunters in linen and buried them under two trees.
Roy also scraped a clean spot on the trunk of the tree, he didn't know the names of the elf hunters, so he could only carve the side faces of the two elf hunters on the tree!
After this toss, a morning star soon lit up on the horizon, and at the same time, a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.
……
While it was still dark, Kaka flew into the sky on a griffin......
He didn't want to put the remaining elven hunters back on the Pagisto Plateau, so he needed to know the whereabouts of these headhunters as soon as possible.
Kaka flew around the sky twice on a griffin, and soon spotted the elven headhunter in a wooded area.
After spotting the headhunters' trail with the children, Kaka rode his griffon back to the temporary gathering place of the expedition group.
"Roy, I found out that they were headhunters......"
Taking advantage of the griffin's low flight, Kaka jumped directly off the griffin's body and landed firmly on the ground.
Roy gathers the members of the party and begins to arrange the mission.
In fact, yesterday evening, Roy was still hesitating about this matter, whether to provoke this trouble, and Sabrina's advice to him was not to cause this trouble, so he ran to the battlefield and went to the scene to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, he actually saved a seriously injured elf, and when he heard that those headhunters had captured a group of elf children, Roy had been hesitating.
It wasn't until the headhunters raided the camp that Roy felt that he should give the headhunters some color, lest they get used to it...... You always have to run down the plateau.
The wounded elf is to remain in the camp, and no one will stay to take care of him.
The members of the party all mounted their horses. Under Kaka's guidance, he chased straight after the headhunters who were about to return to the Pagisto Plateau......
……
The road was not easy to walk, so Kaka could only lead everyone to avoid the woods as much as possible, and gallop forward on the grassy hillside.
Along the way, it was Sabrina who rode in the front.
Her riding skills are among the best in the group, and she is also a heavy warrior in the group, so she should be at the forefront.
The long flowing hair reflected a shallow golden glow in the sunlight......
Although the group of headhunters was also on the way, they were walking very slowly.
Not only were there a group of elven children in their team, but also a few stowaways, and when they realized that Roy's adventurer was chasing them from behind, Roy and they were not even five hundred meters away from them.
There is a very gentle grassy slope in front of it......
Roy urged the horse to run quickly, but Sabrina rushed forward first.
……
The headhunters also saw the young elves chasing from behind, and they found that the plateau argali, which could not outrun the war horses on this barren grassy slope, and saw the adventure group approaching quickly, and the headhunter team asked everyone to stop.
Then he turned and drew his weapon to meet the members of the Adventure Party who were chasing from behind.
The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out on this nameless grassy slope.
Sabrina, who was wearing a set of dwarven chain mail, rushed forward first, and Seruki's longsword slashed at the elven captain, and the heavy sword even carried a faint white sword aura.
Woods abandoned his horse at the same time, and threw himself into the grass, and when he raised his head again, he turned into a giant bear, and his paws grabbed at the face of a headhunter.
The hunters lined up on the grassy slopes, each with a long sword in their hands, and instead of disembarking from the back of the argali, they rode on the back of the argali, confronting the members of the adventure group.
