Half-elf Ranger

The sun was setting in the west, the sky was half-bright and half-dark, and the dirt road leading to Yuanshan Town was glowing with red light. On the dense tree branches on both sides, there were also a few birds homing in, making bursts of hoarse calls. .

At this moment, a black shadow in the sky swooped down from far to near, and quickly approached the jungle. Suddenly, the sound of birds flapping their wings echoed in the swaying jungle.

Tweet!

A loud eagle roar cut through the sky, and after circling over Thorne's head, the Dire Eagle slowly landed on his shoulder.

Thorne caressed the eagle's head lightly, looked into the spiritual eyes of the Dire Eagle for a moment, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, rest well."

The Dire Eagle nodded humanely, quickly unfolded its wings, and after circling a few times above Thorne, it turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky.

"What's the matter, is there any problem with the ruins of Yuanshan Town?" Andrina looked at Thorne who was looking forward and thinking, and couldn't help but ask.

After starting from Talan Village in the early morning, the three of them were busy on the road almost all the time, and did not stop to rest too much.

In Thorne's words, in this wasteland, the night is the most dangerous, and there are often all kinds of nocturnal predators and ferocious beasts.

So they had to rush to the ruins of Yuanshan Town to spend the night before it got dark.

Now it is less than half a kilometer away from Yuanshan Town, but Thorne is standing here without any plans to leave. Is there any danger?

Andrina looked at Thorne with some worry.

"There are about twenty gnolls living in the ruins of Yuanshan Town. I'm thinking about whether to clean them up, or to avoid the edge for a while and wait until the next day to go around."

Thorne glanced at her and said in the direction of Yuanshan Town.

It is not very difficult for him to clear more than twenty gnolls. The only thing that makes him afraid is that he is afraid that after killing all these gnolls, other predators will be attracted.

At this time, this place was already in the emerald field, completely out of the scope of Winter City's strength.

The intelligent races in the wilderness act here without any scruples.

The law of survival of the Jade Wilderness is to feed the weak and the strong to survive.

Goblins, kobolds, gnolls, trolls, ogres, lizardmen, etc., and even hill giants in bad luck are not surprising.

Therefore, every decision he made in the wilderness had to be carefully considered.

"I think it's better to spend the night in the ruins of Yuanshan Town. The town is so big, there is always a place to hide, at least it's better than the wild." Andrina said softly after thinking for a while.

"Okay, then you wait here for a while, I'll clean up first." Thorne heard no objection, and immediately took off the compound longbow behind him and said to her.

"Wait a moment!"

Thorne was just about to leave when Andrina stopped him.

"Anything else?" Thorne asked, pausing and turning.

"Why do I always feel that you think of the two of us as a dragging oil bottle? How can I say that I am also a dragon vein warlock, is it worse than a ranger like you?"

Andrina pointed to Trundle and said with a displeased expression.

"Let's go together then." Thorne was stunned, then said lightly.

...

Swish!

Along with the slight footsteps, three figures appeared near the jungle in the ruins of Yuanshan Town.

"This is Yuanshan Town. It looks more like a military town. I really don't understand how it fell."

Andrina glanced at the towering city wall and whispered in front of Thorne.

Thorne looked up at the stone city wall nearly 6 meters above the front, but was not surprised.

Although Yuanshan Town has been captured by gnolls, except for the destruction of the town's gate, the surrounding protective city walls are still relatively intact.

"A city wall of this level can't resist the attack of the giant on the hill. Don't be surprised. It won't be too late to be surprised when you get to Twilight Town," Thorne said to Andrina.

Because he noticed the scattered footprints of the hill giants on the ground, it is obvious that the gnolls even hired the hill giants to attack Yuanshan Town this time.

The hill giant has a height of nearly 3.5 meters or more, and the strength attribute is at least 25 points after adulthood.

When these idiots were attacking the city, their favorite attack method was to stand in the safest place, lift up a stone the size of a millstone, and smashed it at the soldiers guarding the city wall with a whistling sound.

As long as there are enough stones, they are heavy-duty catapults that can move flexibly. With the city wall of about 6 meters in the far mountain town, the hill giants can smash rocks into it at will.

This threat is deadly enough for Yuanshan Town.

Among the six towns in the Emerald Wilderness, Twilight Town has the highest city wall, with a height of nearly 12 meters and a thickness of about 2 meters.

And because it was built by the river, the river water of the Emerald River was also introduced, and a 3-meter-wide moat was excavated, in which many ferocious piranhas were kept in captivity.

As long as you dare to jump in, your kung fu will turn into a pile of bones in a while.

Thorne looked in the direction of the city wall, took an arrow from his quiver, pointed to the two gnoll guards dangling on the city wall, and said to Andrina:

"The jackal with the mace will be handed over to you to deal with, is there a problem?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Andrina glanced at him, smiled confidently at Thorne, and immediately took out a ruby-encrusted staff.

collapse!

——“Second-Level Spell: Yoof Ma’s Acid Arrow!”

puff!

An arrow pierced through the air, accurately piercing the gnoll's chest, the gnoll wailed, fell to the ground and soon died.

Another gnoll holding a mace saw the abnormality of his companions, and was about to let out a wolf howl to summon other companions.

An arrow flickering with a faint green light followed immediately, hitting his face. With the strong acid corrosion, most of the head of the gnoll guard was quickly melted.

go!

Thorne put away his longbow, raised his long sword, and rushed towards Far Mountain Town first, followed by the troll Trundle, and Andrina a little slower.

After Thorne entered Yuanshan Town, he just casually glanced at the various collapsed buildings inside, and immediately ran to the place where the twenty or so gnolls lived.

Because he had let Dire Eagle detect the approximate location of the gnoll in advance, it was very convenient to find it.

Ow!

In a relatively complete courtyard, the two gnolls guarding the gate saw Thorne appear, and immediately roared and called their companions, then raised their mace and bone crusher to meet Thorne.

Thorne didn't have the slightest fear. The gnolls living here were just a small group wandering in the wilderness. Their strength was not very good.

puff!

A cold light flashed, and the gnoll just raised the mace in his hand, suddenly felt his right arm empty, and then saw his arm fall to the ground together with the mace.

Ow!

A painful roar sounded, and bloodthirsty anger burst out from the eyes that looked at Thorne.

Thorne turned slightly, dodging the gnoll's dying pounce, and the dagger in his left hand pierced the gnoll's heart from its back with precision.

Then Thorne kicked the Broken Arm Gnoll away, again dodging another Gnoll Bone Crusher's smashing sound.

He flexibly detoured behind him, waved his long sword and leaped violently, and a gnoll's head rose into the sky.

Ow! Ow!

Apparently, the wailing of the two gnolls guarding the door before they died successfully alerted the other gnolls in the room.

They took up their weapons and charged towards Thorne, even those without weapons stretched out their sharp claws and ferocious fangs.

Get out of the way!

At this moment, Andrina's voice sounded behind Thorne.

So Thorne chose to retreat without hesitation.

- "Three-ring spell: Fireball!"

Boom!

A dark red fireball the size of a washbasin, exuding scorching heat, exploded in the crowd of jackals.

The high-temperature flames were raging, mixed with the impact of the explosion, blowing the surrounding gnolls upside down, and the dense manes of the whole body burned with surging flames.

...

From the moment Thorne stepped into the courtyard to the end of the battle, it was a massacre by the gnolls without any resistance.

Thorne led Andrina into the room in the courtyard, and looked at the four gnoll cubs who were hiding in the corner and kept roaring.

"If you want to survive in the wilderness, you have to learn to be cruel, you go and kill them!" Thorne pointed at the wolf cub with his long sword and instructed Anderina.

"This..." Andrina looked at Thorne hesitantly, only to see that his delicate face was full of murderous intent when looking at the wolf cub.

Then she looked at the wolf cubs hiding in the corner, and found that these little guys were staring at her with fierce eyes, and they were roaring threateningly from time to time.

The struggle in Andrina's eyes flashed away, and she gently raised the staff in her hand to point to the four wolf cubs hiding in the corner.
