Path of light

Chapter 224 225. Trap

In the early morning, the morning fog in the forest has not cleared away.

The weeds are covered with dew, and a beam of light shines on the leaves of the weeds from the morning mist. The crystal dewdrops exude a faint luster like crystals.

The elves passed by in the grass, and the dew would wet everyone's trouser legs. The wet trousers clung to their calves, making people feel cold and uncomfortable.

Instructor Eleanor was hiding in the weeds. Her body was lying in the weeds, and even her hair was wet with dew. She did not dare to move and blended in with the surrounding weeds.

In front of her eyes, several adult dire wolves, which were larger than rhinoceroses, followed the caravan's footsteps silently.

Instructor Eleanor carefully counted them and found that there were seven dire wolves in this group.

Seven dire wolves were deadly enough to the caravan in front of them, but that was not all of the dire wolves following the caravan.

This is already the third group of dire wolves passing in front of Instructor Eleanor, and of course it is also the largest group. There is even a wolf king among them. Just now it even looked suspiciously in the direction where Instructor Eleanor was hiding. One glance.

Instructor Eleanor's stealth skills allowed her to blend in with the grass, but the wolf king's instinct for danger actually made it glance in the direction where Instructor Eleanor was hiding...

Fortunately, instructor Eleanor was calm enough and hid in the grass without moving at all...

Once discovered by this group of dire wolves, she probably wouldn't be able to withdraw from the adventure group safely.

When all the dire wolves passed by, Eleanor counted sixteen dire wolves. She couldn't help wiping the dew from her face, quickly detoured to catch up with the caravan, and told the news Tell instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora was startled. She had guessed that there might be a few dire wolves following the caravan. She was also thinking about setting up some traps along the way, and then setting up an ambush somewhere to hunt down these dire wolves one by one.

If the adventure group fights dire wolves head-on, they can probably stop two dire wolves.

If three dire wolves rushed up at the same time, the pressure on Instructor Nora, Instructor Vergil, and Instructor Eleanor would be extremely huge.

Once unable to stop it, it would become extremely troublesome for the Dire Wolf to rush towards Instructor Gru, Miss Christine and Scarlett Magician behind the team.

But now there are no longer a few dire wolves behind them. If sixteen dire wolves rushed up at the same time, they might tear their adventure group into pieces in an instant.

Of course, these dire wolves don't just focus on the adventure group. The biggest fat in their eyes is the caravan and the accompanying mixed-blood elves.

Instructor Nora quickly told Captain Hindeji about this matter.

Captain Xin Deji also looked horrified. Why did so many dire wolves come all at once? The caravan had passed through this Warcraft Forest several times before and had been attacked by dire wolves, but those dire wolves had not formed a large scale. There were also several warriors in the caravan, and there were also mercenary groups accompanying them at that time, so The first few times I passed through this jungle, I had no trouble.

But now, sixteen dire wolves appeared behind the team, which was really a big trouble.

Maybe this group of dire wolves will eat them elves until no bones are left in their faces. Thinking of this, Captain Sindji wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at Instructor Nora nervously, and asked Instructor Nora Asked:

"Instructor Nora, do you have any good ideas here?"

Instructor Nora also looked embarrassed.

Because just now, the adventure group had differences of opinion for the first time.

…

Instructor Nora wanted to run over to Captain Sindji to discuss how to deal with the dire wolf, but Instructor Vergil did not agree to do so. He wanted to leave the caravan quietly before everyone knew the news.

"If we leave by ourselves, we won't have so much trouble." Instructor Virgil said to everyone in a low voice.

Instructor Nora frowned and said seriously: "If even we give up, who else will be willing to save them?"

The instructors fell silent collectively, and even Scarlett Magician, who had been standing by instructor Nora, did not immediately express support at this time.

On the contrary, Instructor Gru, who had always been silent, stood up and said:

"Nora is right. If even we think we can give up on these compatriots, then how will Roy, Sabrina, and Christine choose when they encounter the same problem in the future?

We are elves and we will not give up any of our companions easily. They are also our companions. "

Instructor Gru pointed at the large troop walking in front and said solemnly.

At this time, Roy also plucked up the courage and said, "I want to stay and deal with those dire wolves together!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Sabrina and Miss Christine said almost simultaneously.

"The minority obeys the majority, so I also choose to stay. Virgil, you have no choice. Come with us to find a way to deal with the group of dire wolves behind us. As long as they don't rush up at the same time, we still have some chances." Instructor Eleanor patted Instructor Virgil on the shoulder and said to him.

…

It was under such circumstances that instructor Nora came to find Captain Sindji.

Obviously, Captain Shindeji hopes that Instructor Nora can come up with a solution to the problem.

"I will lead the adventure group to try to defeat them one by one. I hope these dire wolves will not rush up at the same time..." Instructor Nora said to Captain Xindji: "The caravan must also be prepared for battle. In addition, I want to start from these Among the mixed elves, select some capable elf hunters to fight with us against these dire wolves."

"I'm going to find someone right now. In the past few days, I've also made it clear that there are indeed many experienced hunters among these mixed-blood elves."

Captain Shindeji said immediately.

…

Afterwards, he hurried towards the large army and continued to communicate with the elf hunters in the team of mixed-blood elves.

I have to say that this kind of thing needs to be done by specialized people to be more effective.

Under the lobbying of Captain Xindji, nearly thirty mixed-blood elf hunters expressed their willingness to deal with this group of dire wolves together, and they are all experienced hunters. They usually hunt wind foxes and poisonous spiders in the jungle. Wait for the low-level monsters. Usually when you see dire wolves, you almost always avoid them.

Now I can only bite the bullet and stand up.

The weapons used by these mixed-blood elf hunters are almost all forest bows made of hardwood, and the arrows they are equipped with are some feather arrows with fine steel arrow clusters. However, this kind of hard bow cannot shoot against dire wolves unless it hits their eyes. Wear their tough leathers, especially with their bristles as hard as steel needles.

"Who is good at setting traps? We can set some traps along the way." Instructor Nora asked the gathered mixed-blood elf hunters.

One of the mixed-blood elf hunters stood up and said:

"We will all make some simple traps, but it takes a little time to set them up. Moreover, these traps may not be very effective against dire wolves. They have explosive tempers, but they are not mindless..."

"As long as we can trap them in a trap, even if it's just for a short while, then we have a chance to kill them." Instructor Nora said confidently.

"Okay, then let's go ahead and set up a few traps, wait for the large army to pass, and then use these traps to deal with these dire wolves." The mixed-blood elf hunter said to Instructor Nora.

After saying that, he quickly ran to the front of the team with a dozen of his companions.

Instructor Nora then looked at Instructor Eleanor.

"Okay, stop talking. I know what you want me to do. This is my job." Instructor Eleanor agreed without letting Instructor Nora speak.

"Roy, Sabrina, you two still have to protect Gru, Christine and Scarlett in the next battle. You'd better act together and don't spread too thin. Wait. If we start fighting next time, Virgil, Eleanor and I probably won’t be able to take care of you..."

Instructor Nora warned Instructor Gru.

After saying this, Instructor Nora walked into the mixed-blood elf hunters, asked them what they were good at, and then assigned tasks to everyone.

…

The mixed elf hunters stood up one by one and began to introduce themselves.

The hunting methods of these mixed-blood elf hunters are relatively primitive. Generally speaking, they use traps and bows and arrows. They will rush in to finish off the monsters when they are dying.

The group of hunters who had just left were better at making traps, and the elf hunters who stayed behind were better at archery.

There are only seven mixed-blood elf hunters equipped with waist knives, but they are all rangers in the jungle, which is not enough to confront these dire wolves head-on.

One thing that makes Instructor Nora very gratified is that these mixed elf hunters have good archery skills and have rich jungle hunting experience.

At this time, Instructor Gru and Miss Christine took out the spare combat short bows they carried with them and lent them to two mixed-blood elf hunters with the best archery skills. Even their spare combat short bows were inferior to those of mixed-blood elf hunters. The hardwood forest bows commonly used by elf hunters are much stronger.

Instructor Nora asked these mixed-blood elf hunters why they didn’t buy a better hunting bow.

The answers from the mixed-blood elf hunters immediately made Instructor Nola's chest feel a little tight. She never expected that in the southern part of the Partington plane, the hunting bows and war bows used by the elves were actually regulated. Even if the hunters wanted to buy Can't even buy it.

Only a few mixed-blood elves had served in the army and brought back the longbows used in the army...

…

The atmosphere inside the caravan was a bit solemn. Apparently everyone knew that a group of dire wolves were following them.

The mixed elves were all walking around the marked forest roads.

On the tree, a group of elf hunters were setting up traps in the forest. These traps were not animal traps. The animal traps of the elf hunters were not enough to contain these dire wolves. They all arranged some net bags on the trees, although these net bags could not hold them. The bite of dire wolves can still cause a lot of trouble to these dire wolves.

After the large group passed through the trap area, instructor Eleanor ran towards the dire wolves behind.

She needs to introduce one of the wolves into the trap area in advance...

She did not stare at the smallest wolf pack, nor did she challenge the wolf pack with the wolf king. Instead, she aimed at the pack of six adult dire wolves. Obviously, they seemed to be in a cooperative relationship, and there was no such thing in the pack. The presence of the alpha and the she-wolf.

Instructor Eleanor ran towards their group of dire wolves until they reached the range of the arrow, then squatted on a tree and shot an arrow at the dire wolf walking in the front.

Instructor Eleanor's archery skills are also very good.

Rangers are like this. They are also good at close combat, a little good at archery, and a little good at tracking and reconnaissance...

The arrow was wrapped in the element of wind and flew silently towards the dire wolf at the front, and instructor Eleanor chose to hide the trajectory of the arrow among the dense branches and leaves.

The arrow passed through countless dense branches and leaves, and after shooting through a leaf, it suddenly appeared in front of the dire wolf. The dire wolf didn't even have time to dodge. It just shook its head violently driven by instinct, and looked up at it. At the first moment, the arrow penetrated its jaw and entered its mouth.

That was the most vulnerable part of the body's fur, and it shot right through the dire wolf's mouth.

The dire wolf at the front let out a pitiful whimper, and its companions immediately rushed toward Instructor Eleanor on the tree branch.

Instructor Eleanor grabbed a vine that had been prepared long ago, jumped up, and ran forward.

Sure enough, the six dire wolves became furious in an instant, and the manes on their necks and backs exploded. The dire wolves, which were slightly larger than rhinos, ran in the jungle, which was also extremely terrifying.

The other two wolf packs were not far away from the six dire wolves. They just fell far behind and watched the changes, but did not rush up together...

Instructor Eleanor let go of the tree vines with her hands, and her body flew forward more than ten meters with the help of inertia. She stepped on the horizontal branches of a big tree with her feet. She just stepped on it and jumped up again. Her body was extremely nimble. , the dire wolves behind could only follow the back of instructor Eleanor. Although they kept closing the distance, they could not catch up easily.

When Instructor Eleanor rushed into the ambush circle of the trap and saw some symbols painted on each tree, Instructor Eleanor ran forward according to the safety instructions.

The six dire wolves seemed to have smelled the danger ahead. At this moment, instructor Eleanor stopped on a big tree in front, picked up the long bow in his hand, and pointed it at the dire wolves chasing after them again. Shoot an arrow.

Although this arrow has no lethality, it is full of provocation.

The six dire wolves could no longer control the anger in their hearts, and rushed forward with a roar. When they rushed into the forest clearing, they found that dust suddenly rose in the clearing in front of them, and a large net fell overwhelmingly above their heads. .

The dire wolves immediately fled around, but at this moment, a layer of sharp ice crystals grew out of the ground beneath their feet.

‘Ice Trail’

Scarlett Sorcerer's ice magic covered the entire forest glade. The dire wolves didn't notice it when they ran in, but when they were about to turn, their claws immediately felt a sting, and they were also driven by inertia. , fell down on the icy path one after another.

A large net fell down instantly, covering five of the dire wolves firmly in it.

Only one dire wolf got out of the net by luck. Just when it was furious and thinking about turning back to save its companions, an arrow with wind element was shot through the air, and it happened to be stuck in its forehead. .
