Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Chang'an City.

The members of the Christmas Clown Troupe who were warmly invited did not follow the guide directly to the northwest gate as some people expected.

When they heard the officers and soldiers' suggestion, they neither answered nor asked questions. Instead, they simply stopped in the middle of the street, leaving the officers and soldiers in full armor at a loss.

Nick raised his hand to control the airflow to isolate the conversation of their group. Worried about being disturbed by other wind saint mages, Nick turned his head and snapped his fingers at Dion beside him.

There were three flower seeds in Dion's palm, and he flicked them into the air. The flower seeds broke into stems in an instant, and grew into three delicate and budding red roses. They hung upside down in a triangle and slowly rotated above their heads, with a layer of light pink.

The transparent mask also took shape, adding an unbreakable layer of insurance to the confidentiality of their conversation. (Note 1)

Both are elves, and they choose archers who prefer force every year. Dion is a priest who prefers magic. He is currently level 68, but this is just a level number, which just shows his carelessness in leveling and upgrading. In fact,

Except for Nick and Nian Nian, probably no one knows how terrifying he looks when he takes action seriously.

Everyone sitting on the floor was silent for a while, until Nick spoke calmly:

"cy was taken advantage of."

They had just arrived here and were about to find someone, when someone came diligently to act as a guide. Even the big rat in York wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy going on here.

And this is definitely not what Nian Nian wants them to find her for.

Although she often acted willfully with Nick, she was not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble for everyone, so it could only be that others wanted to use their time to disturb Nick and others.

"This man knows us well."

Sarah also added. If they had not understood the relationship between these people, they would not have adopted such a blatant trap to make them consciously go to the place expected by others. Even if they knew the calculation, they would definitely go.

.

Perhaps it is because they saw through the plot here and discovered that Nian Nian was actually being used as bait, and they wanted to find back this first and youngest member.

"It seems we should first find out what happened here." Dion turned his eyes and suggested. The guards had already surrounded the mask and were still dispersing the crowd who wanted to watch.

"Sarah, send a message to cy later, saying that we are going to travel around China and meet her when we have time. By the way, ask her if she has any good sightseeing suggestions."

Sara nodded. She knew that Nick wanted to hide this from Nian Nian so that she would not blame herself for implicating everyone.

"We really need to understand what is going on here, including the details of this world mission. Just listening to the conversation between the two women, it seems that there is some unexpected turmoil here in the Huaxia District."

Nick said, looking at his team members one by one, thinking about which people to assign to find out information from local players.

But... although Sarah has a delicate mind, her appearance is too weird. Also conspicuous are the clown York and the dwarf Kraft. The twins themselves are very weird, and John, who can only memorize the Bible, cannot be compared with ordinary people.

People communicate normally, look around...

"Why is there no normal person around me?" Nick gritted his teeth, and for the first time he disliked the composition of his mercenary group.

The other seven people who heard this all turned their attention to Nick's right hand. Ever since he left the river, the knife in his right hand had been flying around his fingertips all the time, and the sharp blade had taken away several pieces.

The skin, flesh, and entire hand were already dripping with blood.

"I'll go." Dion shook his head helplessly. Among these people, he was the only one who looked normal from appearance to words and deeds.

"Well, remember to work with your mouth, not your vagina."

"Nick!" Sarah glared at him warningly.

Nick gave up the last word, stood up and waved his bloody right hand. The soundproof wind wall and a few drops of blood fell at the same time, but the three red roses were still hovering above his head.

"Let me confirm Cy's safety first." Looking at Nick who was losing his composure, Dion said helplessly, reminding him of his role.

Nick retracted his left leg, turned around impatiently, and stared at Dion with "Why didn't you tell me earlier" written all over his face.

"leaf."

Dion took the small green leaf from Nick's hand. It was this year's new leaf on the birthday tree every year.

"gort." Dion whispered softly, using his finger to draw a vertical line and two parallel diagonal lines crossing it on the front of the blade. (Note 2)

As he stroked his pen, there seemed to be a thin rattan tentacle curling out from the leaf, twisting and plunging into the air before disappearing. A blink of an eye passed, and Dion looked at the small light yellow flower that retracted from the air.

He nodded to the nervous Nick and gently brushed off the words he had just written on the leaves.

Knowing that Nian Nian was safe for the time being, the others were slightly relieved. Nick even left the young leaf directly to Dion. Dion also nodded and said that he would check Nian Nian's situation from time to time.

"Then..." Nick smiled kindly at Dion, and pushed away the muscles of his cheek stiffly.

...

It was the first time I saw Nick smiling at Dion. It was still such a kind and non-sarcastic smile. Everyone including Dion was a little uncomfortable. Dion coughed lightly and raised his hand to recall the three flowers that were still spinning above his head.

The red rose collected the flower seeds returned to the palm.

"I know. But how to deal with these people?" Dion turned his back to the guards who came up to him again, raised his eyebrows and looked at Nick, who was smiling stiffly, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Don't worry about them."

Nick put away his smile and opened his arms wide. Suddenly, a strong wind blew around him, causing the soldiers to stagger. There were vague things like nettles and burrs rushing towards their faces, which frightened everyone and quickly protected their fragile eyes and ears.

Mouth and nose, looking awkwardly for shelter from the wind.

When everything calmed down and everyone managed to open their itchy, red eyes, the seven people with different appearances and weird behaviors had long disappeared.

The scorpions gradually became less afraid of fire. This was quickly noticed by the gray-armored general of the Qilin Army named Mu Shi, who immediately issued a new command.

"Lance, pen blade!"

The Spitfire Lancer who was filling the back row with kerosene immediately stopped what he was doing, clamped the barrel of the gun with his left elbow, and quickly clasped a disc with a toothed edge under the tip of the gun with his right hand, with the disc pointing slightly outward.

The protrusion, if you look closely, you can see that the disc's sharp teeth are shining with cold light.

The pikeman who had been replaced by a pen gun stepped forward again, mounted his gun on his shield, and the shieldman immediately moved slightly to the left and right, letting the iron gun shaft fall from the gap between the two shields. When it hit the ground, the tip of the gun rotated, and the gun flew.

The tip and the blade of the pen raised up a series of whirlwinds, crushing the scorpions in front of them, and the red fragments of limbs and armor suddenly dyed the already dark animal head and shield red.

Fire attacks could not be used, and the longbowmen were ordered to stop. Nian Nian, who had just joined the team, felt disappointed.

"Do you have any range skills?" Qi Youfeng, who followed him into the formation, reminded him softly.

Nian Nian understood it immediately, found a gap unobstructed by human figures and stood there, pulled out a wooden arrow and put it on the bow string, aiming it condescendingly at the group of red scorpions.

Six rays of green light flew, landed on the edge of the shield and then rushed out of the scorpion group. Wherever the arrow light passed, the red scorpions were all twisted into the whirlwind. The originally colorless whirlwind was also filled with countless red particles from shallow to deep.

, six piles of red hills were formed in the distance where the whirlwind dissipated, and the ground in front of the shield-bearing infantry finally revealed the color that the sand sea should have.

Nian Nian's bow and six arrows were actually more effective than those hundreds of spearmen shooting at once. Everyone behind her who witnessed this scene cheered for joy, even thinking that she might have killed the entire scorpion group.

Unfortunately, this was not done every year. The scorpions that were briefly forced back came from the small lake in the oasis again, densely crawling over the hills built by their companions, and in the blink of an eye they once again approached the shield formation.

Get up defense.

Looking at the scorpion group and situation that seemed to be exactly the same as a few seconds ago, Nian Nian frowned slightly and dispersed the whirlwind formed by his fingertips. Instead, the icy blue shimmer jumped and enveloped the other six wooden sticks that had just been put on the bowstring.

arrow.

Nian Nian felt that these new red poisonous scorpions seemed to be much larger than the previous ones. She was not sure if it was her imagination, but she still cautiously changed her skills, and then six rays of cold light flashed out and froze her.

He grabbed the scorpions in front of the shield and built an ice wall outside the shield wall that was already dripping under the scorching sun.

Every year, I stared at the red scorpion shadows in the ice wall carefully, and the more I looked at them, the more frightened I became. Then my eyes widened, and I looked carefully against the direction in which the scorpions were coming. Finally, I fixed my eyes on the small oasis lake.

center.

"Is there a problem?" Qi Youfeng asked in a low voice. He did not have the same eyesight as Nian Nian, so he could only judge the situation based on Nian Nian's reaction at this time.

"Yes! Big problem!"

Before he finished speaking, Nian Nian ran back to the sand dune where Shi Sui and his friends were, and eagerly grabbed Shi Sui's sleeve.

"There's a big guy in the lake!"

Nian Nian, who was already frowning, was shocked when he heard this. Song Qing and Zheng Qi, who were beside him, surrounded Nian Nian and asked hurriedly: "Are you sure?"

Nian Nian nodded, quickly organized the words in his mind, and said: "The frozen poisonous scorpions melted directly, and the subsequent poisonous scorpions gradually became larger, and a huge tail needle was vaguely exposed in the lake. If the stalemate continues like this,

I guess that big guy will get out!"

"Why are there still poisonous scorpions?"

"Then run away quickly! What are you waiting for!"

"That's it! We can't help you, so we'd better leave quickly!"

Song Qing and the others were not the only ones who heard Nian Nian's words. Others in Xingtianxia had just been gathered here by Shi Sui's organization. At this time, they all spoke out to persuade Shi Sui to retreat.

"Hmph! If you run away, do you want us to take the rear?"

Zheng Qi's eyes were like lightning, scanning the players who were already thinking about quitting, and stopped them in their tracks.

Players in Xingtianxia can escape because there are people from the Qilin Army and the Envoy Guards in front of them to bear the stings of the scorpion swarm. And once everyone retreats, the tide of scorpion swarms will soon catch up.

Everyone who can't run as fast as a camel.

Even if these thousand soldiers can fight and retreat, how can we be sure that these poisonous scorpions will not chase them a hundred meters or even a thousand meters away? Will the people at the rear still be injured or killed?

"We can't escape, we can't retreat. We have to press forward as soon as possible to block that thing in the lake." Shi Sui also understood Zheng Qi's anger at this time and immediately expressed his attitude.

Zheng Qi snorted lightly, turned around and ran back to the Qilin Army. It seemed that he wanted to inform the other two comrades of the observation results every year.

"How to block it? Just press it up like this?" Song Qing turned around and asked.

"Press, but don't kill. The more you kill, the faster the big guy will come out."

Shi Sui said with a worried look on his face. After hearing the sound of "Spear, retreat", his face suddenly brightened, and he understood that Zheng Qi, a smart man, had also noticed this.

"Then did I get into trouble just now..."

After hearing these words, Nian Nian suddenly felt uneasy, and other people in Xingtianxia also looked at them with uncomfortably complaining looks, unaware that they had previously cheered for Nian Nian's huge lethality.

"No, it's thanks to you that we were able to discover that guy in the lake early. If we really let the Qilin Army kill him slowly, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before we discovered anything strange about the scorpions."

Shi Sui smiled at Nian Nian and touched her head approvingly. Song Qing directly said that he would give Nian Nian a red envelope as a bonus later.

Qi Youfeng's gaze passed coldly across the faces of the Xingtianxia players, his eyes as sharp as knives, and he immediately suppressed many dissatisfied whispers.

Shi Sui also saw the threat in Qi Youfeng's eyes, but he just ignored it and calmly turned around and began to give instructions.

"Everyone is ready to assist the Qilin Army in suppressing the scorpion swarm. After removing the shield soldiers in melee combat, they will assist in the advancement. The assistants will take turns to add buffs. Pay attention to consumption and skill range, and reserve some vitality for the final explosion. Those players who are good at shooting will follow.

Longbowmen in the military formation, you can do whatever they do. Players in Mingtang prepare, the most important step depends on you."

The central glowing earth formation of Mingtang can mobilize the yellow sand to cover the lake, and the amplification effect after the five elements are connected must be able to fill up the entire small lake in an instant. But the problem now is how to get the players of Mingtang close to the small lake.

And stand in a suitable position.

Although the compass in the hands of the players in Mingtang can stay in the air for a short time or be thrown a certain distance, it is not a flying saucer after all and cannot be too far away from the players themselves. And in the position they are in now, it is impossible to put the compass in any way.

Sent to the lake.

"We can go around to the other side of the oasis, but we need protection. It would be best if we could allocate a few teams of shield soldiers to that side." A dozen players in Mingtang quickly discussed it and immediately suggested to Shi Sui.

"You guys should try to form your own team first. We don't have enough time. I'm afraid the Qilin Army won't be able to mobilize the manpower."

Understanding that the situation was urgent, the Mingtang players immediately dispersed. Except for Sanchishui who was still guarding Shi Sui, the other melee professions in Xingtianxia immediately stood beside their familiar Mingtang friends. After balancing their manpower, they prepared to escort these people.

Bypass the scorpions and go to the other end of the oasis.

Shi Sui nodded, and a team of more than ten players immediately ran towards both sides of the shield wall.

However, Sui, Songqing and Niannian who were observing the situation suddenly secretly screamed that something was wrong, and the remaining people who had prepared to provide skill assistance also immediately exclaimed loudly.

Xing Tianxia's team was bypassing the shield wall. The scorpion group that was charging straight at them split into two in an instant. They were about to cross both sides of the shield wall and hit Xing Tianxia's player team head-on.

"Is this, is this really coming for us?"

Three flowers are because the number 3 has special magic power in Druid culture. Repeating the same pattern three times in a wheel shape is an enhancement of magic power.
