Chapter 16 First Battle
Is it the night elf corresponding to the glow elf, and he actually knows that I am the son of nature?
Link saw an introduction to this species in the library that guards ancient trees. The evil elves living underground split in ancient times with the battle between the gods. Because the sunlight is gone for many years, the skin becomes as pale as vampires. He is a famous evil creature in the chaotic camp and likes to kill.
Link stared cautiously at the night elves who appeared on their own initiative: "The family of the night, are the missing druids in River Valley Town related to you?"
"Our tribe lives deep underground, how can we get into evil with the guardians of the earth?" Although they are elves, they have a completely opposite aura from Iris, and they are more like demons encountered in the rifts in the southern part of the guardian land.
"Since you live deep in the earth, why do you appear near the settlements of humans?" Night elves are the vanguards of the chaotic camp. Like dark elves, they are deeply hated by the residents of the earth. Their appearance is often accompanied by death and slaughter. In terms of danger alone, they are better than corpse witches who have not been possessed by Shuanghan.
Link did not dare to be careless about the night elf who was famous for his cunning and betrayal, and secretly imposed a tree skin on himself.
"The patrol team responsible for this area disappeared ten days ago." The night elf gave a concise answer.
It was missing again, including Yuan Ye, it was already the third group. The druid Rey, who was stationed in He Valley Town, disappeared half a year ago, Yuan Ye disappeared almost three months ago, and the night elf patrol team disappeared ten days ago.
Link always felt that there was any connection between these missing people, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. The extremely dangerous night elves were several steps away from him. Although they were respectful and polite on the surface, who could guarantee that he would not suddenly pounce on him and stab him in the heart with another poisonous dagger. Just as the Glow Elf and the Pillar of the Earth is an alliance, and the allies of the Night Elf are the biggest enemy of the Son of Nature before the Undead appeared - the Demon. Whether in the camp or the Allies, they are all enemies. The so-called "living deep underground and not engaging in evil with the Pillar of the Earth is just a high-sounding statement.
"You mean the patrol team?" Link, who couldn't think of a solution, could only delay the time as much as possible.
"Yes, there is a whole team." The night elf raised his head slightly, a light flashed in his half-closed pupils, and the slightly raised corner of his mouth made Link's heart beat wildly.
Damn, wouldn't he find out that I'm just a novice who works hard outside, right? No, I have to scare him.
"Do you have clear evidence to dare to blatantly enter the surface and attack humans?"
The night elf's gaze moved down and landed on the ground. Link looked down and saw that it was the burnt dead body, with a scimitar shining on his waist.
The silver-blue luster made him frown. It was gold! Gonzalez had taught Link to identify it, but he couldn't make a mistake.
Essence gold is a rare ore buried deep underground, and is deeply loved by night elves. In order to compete for the ore veins, a hundred-year war broke out with the dwarves. A ragged beggar refugee could not have such a valuable weapon. The only source is the Night Elf Patrol Team that disappeared ten days ago.
Now that's bad, how can we continue?
Link was sweating profusely. This was not training. It was different from the confrontation between the Demon Lord and the encounter between Shuang Han. This time, no one could help him resolve the crisis. Even if Gonzalez said that he would not encounter life-threatening danger during the novice period, Link was still afraid.
Suddenly, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The missing areas are all located on the border of the Guardian Land, and perhaps these disappearances are related to the dead.
Link remembered the corpse witch possessed by Shuanghan. As an enemy general, he should not go deep into the opponent's base camp. After all, the Pillars of Earth are transformed by ancient gods symbolizing nature, and they are not comparable to him as a lich. What is the use of his meaningless temptation? By the way! Temptation!
I got it... He was not heading for the Pillar of Earth, but for me. Didn't he say that the undead and the Son of Nature are born enemies? If the future guardian of the Pillar of Earth can be removed in the stage of weak selectees, wouldn't it be to get rid of a future opponent and a major concern?
There must be still remaining undead nearby. It is impossible for a single corpse witch to launch an attack on both sides of the west and north at the same time.
Link was secretly happy for his guess.
That's right! That must be true!
"It is impossible to kill the night elves' patrol team with just a few human refugees."
"So?" It was obvious, and the night elf kept a weird smile.
"A few days ago, I annihilated a corpse witch on the northern border that intended to invade the guardian land. I think this is another one." Link told a small lie and attributed the record of eliminating the corpse witch to his name to intimidate the night elves.
For a moment, there was only the crackling sound of torches burning in the mine. After a moment of silence, the night elf finally spoke.
"Although such a request is a bit abrupt, please allow me to accompany you, and the blood of the night elf must not flow in vain."
Although it is in line with their vengeful personality, would it be a bit of a risky walk with a night elf?
Link is very conflicted. If you agree, you may be stabbed at any time. If you don’t agree, you may have to take the initiative. After weighing the pros and cons, Link chose a colleague with relatively less danger.
"Captain of Flynn City Fifth Patrol Team, Yatis." The night elves introduced themselves. Although their facial features were neutral, their voice and height would never make Link mistake him for women. Edgar's elves were generally taller than humans, and they were not less than 1.8 meters tall, even the night elves who lived underground all year round.
Well... do I also want to report my name? Natural Son is a divine messenger. He is much taller than a night elf civilian in terms of identity, so why should I just deal with it and give it a fake name?
Just as Link was considering whether to introduce himself, the night elf had already walked around him and walked towards the exit of the mine. He squatted down, groping on the ground, and walking and stopping.
Link followed and found that he was looking at the footprints printed on the sand, left by the refugees who had just escaped.
The sunlight in the morning still made Yatis, who was used to the darkness, very uncomfortable. He endured the pain of his eyes and identified the traces left by the refugees.
"The footsteps are messy, they are leaving separately." It takes time and effort to track them one by one, Yatis turned his head and looked at Link. Even the elf tracking technique of Mingguan Tianxia cannot track so many people at the same time in a short period of time.
Understanding the eyes of the night elf, Link activated the divine revival for the second time, and the Taoist sign pointed to the hill facing the mine.
"Come with me."
Incarnated as a white deer, he ran towards the direction pointed by Shen Qi.
After taking a look at him from left to right, Yatis pulled up his cloak to cover his face, followed Link, running at a speed that was no less than that of the white deer incarnation.
After a sprint, the two of them reached the top of the mountain without long. Between the lush forests, a man-made building could be vaguely seen.
As early as halfway up the mountain, Link felt the breath of the undead, from faint to thick, and was blown down from the top of the mountain by a gust of breeze. The night elves following behind also smelled the corruption in the air. He ran while loading the crossbow, his movements skillfully and smoothly.
The breath came from the tomb chamber built on the mountain wall. It looked a bit old. Two stone doors fell to the ground, and the other half open.
"I'm in the front." Needless to say, the night elf is an assassination expert, and head-on combat attracts the enemy's firepower. Link took the initiative to capture the live life.
Unlike the caucus chamber outside the town, the passage is filled with a strong sense of death. The passage is only two wide, with stone beds dug up the mountain. The bodies are placed on it, and they have turned into bones. Most of the clothes and burial objects are weathered, and only coins, necklaces and other gold and silver products are still intact.
Click...
Link's familiar voice came from the front. He slowed down and encountered the undead who sensed the breath of life at a corner. It was just a few bones, no different from what he had purified on the northern border.
With a big horn, the more you keep up, the two fronts immediately turned into white light and drifted away.
The narrow corridor and the mountain vibrated together, and the shaking lasted for several seconds before stopping. Link felt that the dead energy of the undead was getting stronger, and he could vaguely hear the voices from deeper.
There is more than one corpse witch? Well... it seems to be a little bit overwhelmed, but since there is a helper, you should be able to deal with it.
There was also a unique cracking sound from the skeleton in the passage behind. In order to avoid attacking from front and back, Link hit hard and purified the remaining few skeletons together.
Through another stone door, we entered a spacious hall. There were only a few sarcophagus here. A large pit was dug out of the ground in the center, filled with sticky blood, like boiling boiling water constantly bubbling, and from time to time, a corpse rolled up. Link looked carefully and saw that it was not a human, but a night elf!
The corpse witch floated directly above the blood pool, holding her hands high, and kept chanting spells in her mouth. Behind him were several wooden cages, with dozens of humans locked in it. Among a group of NPCs shouting for help, Link saw a familiar and unfamiliar face. He had seen it at one of the few family dinners. Although the game corrected the appearance of Asians, the charm of Shen Yun did not change. It was Yuan Ye. Link almost recognized it at a glance.
Although a deer came in, Yuan Ye also shouted for help with the crowd.
"Come out, my slave." The corpse witch waved her hands, and the night elves floating in the blood pool climbed out one by one, waved their weapons and rushed towards Link.
bite--
With his antlers, Link threw a sharp drop, picking away the first night elf that launched the attack, dodging the other two attacks. No matter how agile he was, he was still scratched by the fourth person.
The sharp blade actually broke the defense of the tree's skin, and the poison and death eroded the wound together. Link used the natural healing to remove toxins, and five of them had been used in eight spell positions.
The Corpse Witch knew that he was a novice when he saw Link's attack method. Just as the Corpse Witch let out a dull laugh for his good luck, Yatis, who had been sneaking, suddenly appeared from the shadow.
The dark dagger accurately opened a hole in the heart of the corpse witch and quickly cut off his head. The body of the corpse witch, who had not yet been transformed into the undead, fell down in a spell chanting posture. The sound of blood splattering caused the entire hall to fall into silence. The people trapped in the cage were extremely frightened, and the night elves' statements were not better than those of the undead.
With the death of the corpse witch, the controlled night elves fell to the ground one after another, and in an instant they turned into a pool of festering flesh and blood.
There is no danger indeed...
