Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 51 - hunter and prey



Covered by night, the forest swayed with silver-white moonlight.

Thorne’s vigorous figure is moving rapidly.

In the vast wilderness of the Emerald Wilderness, facing the gnoll’s pursuit, only experienced rangers can easily get rid of them.

However, it is obvious from Thorne’s relaxed expression and the sneer that the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, that his purpose is not so simple.

collapse!

Suddenly, in the pursuit of the two sides, Thorne suddenly turned around and pulled the composite longbow that he had already held in his hand. The echo of the bowstring reverberated slightly in the silent night!

However, the strange thing is that there is no explosive sound caused by the arrow cutting through the air.

Um?

Seeing the four Flynn gnolls behind them, after hearing the echo, they did not have such a high-energy reaction as expected.

Their galloping bodies were only subconsciously paused, and then their hideous faces were still locked on Thorne’s body.

Thorne raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately turned to continue running.

When he turned around just now, he actually pulled only the empty string, and he didn’t catch the deadly arrow at all.

Although he has the mobile shooting expertise, in this rapid running, the arrow’s hit rate is actually not as accurate as imagined.

With such an attack destined to do little damage, Thorne felt no need to waste the few arrows left in his quiver.

He originally thought that these gnolls would disperse subconsciously after hearing the echo of the bowstring.

In this case, the flanking formation maintained by the four of them would suddenly be disrupted.

And Thorne can take the opportunity to rush up and take the lead to solve one of them at a very fast speed when they can’t reflect it.

However, it is obvious that Thorne miscalculated the gnoll judgment of these few Flynn with abnormal brain circuits.

I don’t know if the other party has long noticed that there are no arrows on Thorne’s longbow, or they are not afraid of the threat posed by Thorne’s bow and arrows at all.

Whatever the reason.

Thorne didn’t think about it so much for the time being, but walked forward intently, preparing to introduce the four gnolls into the terrain that was beneficial to him.

He can face the siege of a dozen kobolds alone without fear, but facing the attack of the four Flynn gnolls in front of him, Thorne has no chance of winning.

These four gnolls are all Mara believers who have participated in at least three hunting ceremonies, so their strength is probably above the extraordinary rank.

So Thorne needs favorable terrain.

Obviously this kind of dense forest that affects the speed of movement is the best choice for Thorne.

This terrain can severely limit the rapid dash of the Flynd Gnoll.

As a ranger, Thorne is best at doing things like leaping between tree poles and shooting enemies with a longbow.

At this time, the chase between the two sides did not last very long. In the rapid running, Thorne’s keen intuition could vaguely hear the shouts from the players in Talan Village.

Whoosh!

Entering the dense forest, Thorne’s light body leaped to a tree that was not very high.

The 24-point agility attribute, combined with his athletic expertise, enables him to stand on top of a tree branch with ease.

The balance skill of about level 5 made Thorne’s body steady on the treetops without shaking at all.

Roar!

Seeing Thorne leaping up the treetops, the scarlet pupils of the four Flynn gnolls looked at each other.

One of the gnolls, whose occupation is a ranger, jumped up, and also jumped on the branches, chasing after them.

The other three formed a flanking attack around the trees, ready to attack Thorne who had fallen branches.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Gnoll Ranger’s agility attribute is obviously very high, at least 18 or above. After he jumped up the tree pole, he was very agile and chased in the direction of Thorne.

Thorne glanced at the Gnoll Ranger behind him, clenching the composite longbow, constantly weaving through the branches of the woods.

Whoosh!

When the Gnoll Ranger was about to approach Thorne, Thorne jumped hard again, jumped more than five meters away in an instant, landed firmly on the branch of another big tree, and quickly took out an arrow.

collapse!

19 points of strength allows Thorne to fully draw the composite longbow.

call out!

The whistling arrow, with the turbulent sound of the air, slammed into the gnoll ranger who had just emerged.

puff!

The sharp arrow pierced through the Gnoll Ranger’s shoulder precisely, and the strong impact almost made the Gnoll Ranger who grabbed the branch fall to the ground.

Thorne glanced at the other three gnolls that had chased him under the tree where he was standing.

Put away the composite longbow, and make a powerful leap.

Clang!

Then Thorne took advantage of the jumping neutrality and pulled out the Dark Cinder Sword from his waist.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Enhanced Skill): Sword of Red Lotus!”

In the dark night, the long sword in Thorne’s hand trembled slightly, and a burning flame suddenly erupted, reflecting his delicate face jumping in the air.

The Gnoll Ranger, whose shoulders were pierced by arrows, had just stabilized his swaying body when Thorne’s figure appeared above him.

The flaming long sword slashed fiercely at the head of the Gnoll Ranger.

clang!

The sharp metal claws on the Gnoll Ranger’s hands struggled against Thorne’s heavy dark red sword.

The flames on the long sword are spreading towards the lush mane of the Gnoll Ranger!

puff!

Seeing the blocked attack, Thorne was not surprised, but quickly pulled out another short sword. The sharp blade penetrated the black animal skin armor of the Gnoll Ranger and completely sank into his chest.

bump!

As soon as the blow was successful, Thorne immediately retracted his weapon and kicked the Gnoll Ranger away.

The Gnoll Ranger’s heart had been shattered by Thorne’s dagger, so it was only a matter of time before death, save for a few scrambles on the ground.

At the moment of kicking the gnoll ranger, Thorne’s eyes swept the corner of his eye to another gnoll who was climbing up quickly, trying to approach him.

So a wooden holy emblem slipped from the sleeve of Thorne’s left hand, and along with Thorne’s soft whisper, the holy emblem flashed a faint green glow.

——“One Ring of Divine Art: [Powerful] Entanglement Art!”

A pale green light shrouded the large branches, and the gently swaying branches began to surge wildly, turning into countless tiny thorny vines to cover the fast-climbing gnolls.

The gnoll, who was climbing up, didn’t have time to avoid it, and was instantly wrapped around the sturdy tree by rattan like a zongzi, unable to move at all.

Roar!

Click!

At this time, another gnoll who had already climbed to the adjacent tree jumped violently, accompanied by the sound of branches breaking.

The gnoll roared, waving metal claws from the dense branches, and suddenly appeared behind Thorne.

It’s a gnoll rogue!

Thorne’s face changed, obviously the attack of the gnoll rogue made him unexpected, and he didn’t even notice when he was approached.

Clang!

Thorne, who was too late to dodge, held off the deadly attack of the gnoll with his sword.

Then he jumped back, immediately opened the distance, took the opportunity to fall to the ground, and with the help of his condescending momentum, he waved the long sword in his hand and slashed at the other gnoll on the ground.

clang!

The dark red long sword fell from the sky, hitting the metal claws of the gnoll, creating bright sparks.

The long sword slammed so hard that it almost made the gnoll kneel on one knee.

Roar!

–violent!

Suddenly, the gnoll who fought Thorne roared angrily.

There was a crackling sound, and the gnoll’s body suddenly increased in height, instantly bouncing off Thorne’s long sword, and another metal claws also took the opportunity to slash across Thorne’s chest.

The profession of this jackal turned out to be a barbarian!

Feeling the burning pain in his chest, Thorne secretly said a fluke.

If it wasn’t for the protection of the tough bark of the tree skin technique, the gnoll’s attack would at least seriously injure him.

So Thorne did not dare to be careless, and immediately distanced himself from the barbarian.

His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the barbarian who was rushing over again, took a deep breath, and the short sword in his left hand suddenly jumped out of orange flames.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame Star!”

The hot flame suddenly burst, and a dazzling white light erupted.

what!

The barbarian who was caught off guard was stabbed by the dazzling white light, and his charging action was immediately blocked.

puff!

The gnoll, who had been temporarily blinded, had just recovered, and Thorne’s swift long sword approached his neck with a fiery sound of breaking through the air, and then mercilessly crossed a cold light.

The shaggy head of the barbarian soared into the sky under the surging blood.

Then Thorne glanced around vigilantly, frowning slightly, he didn’t find any trace of the gnoll wanderer who had almost succeeded in the sneak attack just now.

So he tightened the long sword in his hand, his legs suddenly exerted force, and rushed towards the other gnoll who had escaped from the entanglement technique.

clang clang!

The two figures collided, and the symphony of gold and iron could be heard incessantly, but Thorne was even better thanks to the strength of the bull and the grace of the cat.

When Thorne’s two weapons were blocked by the opponent’s claws, Thorne’s eyes turned cold, his right foot exerted force, and he kicked the gnoll’s lower body fiercely.

Ow! ! ! !

The gnoll’s legs tightened, and a heart-piercing scream cut through the thick night.

puff!

Thorne’s sword took the opportunity to slash the gnoll’s throat, ending his agony.

The darkness of the night, with the fall of the third Flynn’s gnoll, became extremely peaceful again.

Thorne stood quietly with his sword, his eyes narrowed.

Swish!

The leaves that fell on the ground flicked gently, and the faint footsteps were caught by Thorne.

——“Steel Soul School (Stance Skill): Bright and Pure Body!”

When the shadow suddenly appeared, Thorne pretended not to know, but immediately activated the clear body of the Steel Soul Sect to lock the gnoll wanderer.

The so-called Steel Soul faction swordsmanship is to use his witty mind and sense of the battlefield to fight his enemies.

For the Martial Daoists of the Steel Soul Sect, time seems to be lost relatively slowly in their eyes.

The function of the clear body is to concentrate all of one’s own spirit on one person, while ignoring other opponents.

The enemy locked by you, his attack methods and combat actions will be clearly displayed in front of your eyes.

When the clear body locked on the wanderer, the scene in front of Thorne quickly became blurred and distorted, but the body of the gnoll wanderer came into his eyes very clearly.

Even the drops of blood dripping from the face of the gnoll wanderer, Thorne could see clearly.

And the deadly attack launched by the gnoll rogue towards him seems to be less fast than before.

Just as the gnoll wanderer grinned, waving the claws that gleamed with cold metal in his hands about to penetrate Thorne’s chest.

Thorne squatted down slightly, claws brushing past his hood.

The two sharp blades in Thorne’s hand were all sunk into the gnoll rogue’s body.

The blood-red pupils of the gnoll wanderer suddenly dilated.

He didn’t seem to understand until he died, when he was about to feel the thrill of the sharp claws tearing the opponent’s body, why things suddenly reversed.
