Because Nini is back, the security problem is temporarily solved.
The elf jumped up to the treetop lightly, and then came down immediately.
"No," she said, "the trees here are too dense, and the tree crowns seem to be competing for sunlight. You can't see the situation in the dense forest from the tree crowns. I can only use my hearing to warn."
Wang was speechless: "I suddenly understood what my uncle meant when he said 'trees can talk'. If this kind of dense forest cannot even guard the elf rangers from too far away, it will be a paradise for sneak attackers.
"The attacker suddenly speaks. To the person being attacked, it's like the tree suddenly speaks."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nini shouted: "Someone is approaching!"
Everyone's nerves suddenly reached their limit again.
Wang: "How far away is it?"
"The various movements in the woods are interfering with my hearing. It is probably very close. We will see it soon."
Xiaobai also said at this time: "I heard it, it is indeed very close."
The dwarf and Gotrek both clenched their weapons, and the king further confirmed the situation: "How many people are coming?"
"Just a footstep."
Wang frowned: "It won't be another high-level mage raiding alone like just now, right? It's unlikely that the religious group will send them one by one?"
The mage who jumped out just now probably saw that the rescue team had just finished resisting the water monkeys and was in a very disabled state, so he jumped out to pick peaches.
Unexpectedly, he was taken away by a legal order of death. Half of the battle between mages was an intelligence battle. What spells and equipment did the opponent prepare today? If any of this information is not clear, it may lead to death.
But now, the Death Ring of Law has been used up, and it will take twenty-four hours for the second one to come out. Another seven-ring mage who can use the finger of death may not be able to withstand it.
Flint asked the king nervously: "Should I place a death-proof barrier? I have another one!"
The duration of the anti-death barrier is very short, so one is usually placed when a battle is about to begin.
Before the king could reply, Shu spoke: "It's all the donors. You are here."
Then Li Guang, wearing a protective look, walked out of the woods.
Xiaobai was shocked: "The tree really spoke!"
Wang: "Look, I just said this for a reason."
Li Guang had a look on his face - well, with Wang's current understanding of the lizard man's expression system, he couldn't tell what kind of expression it was. Anyway, the muscles on Li Guang's face twitched, the corners of his mouth were pulled wider, and his nostrils were slightly backward. pull.
Wang speculated that this should be an expression of surprise, and he was ready to verify his thoughts through the lizard man's speech.
Liguang: "What are you talking about?!"
Wang: "It's a surprise!"
Liguang: "What the hell?"
Wang: "It's okay. Let's get down to business. What happened last night?"
Li Guang sighed: "Yesterday the elder ordered that all the young men get up at four o'clock this morning and set out for the ruins. In order to send out as many soldiers as possible, the warrior commander adjusted the sentries on duty at night. The first wave of sentries will be on duty until four o'clock. Click, and then the original second wave of sentries will be on duty during the day.
"At around three o'clock in the morning, in order not to miss today's morning class, I woke up much earlier than usual to breathe. As a result, as soon as I left the tent, I saw human-looking soldiers entering the village!
"I shouted loudly: Who are they? What did you do to the guards?
"That human used the miniature crossbow in his hand to shoot arrows at me! Fortunately, I am skillful in dodging——"
Nini suddenly raised her hand and shot an arrow. The monk who was talking also reacted quickly. He turned sideways to avoid the elf's arrow, and the bow and arrow rushed into the dense forest. The next moment, Xiaobai's ears twitched.
"I heard screams!" she shouted, "Nini shot someone!"
Elizabeth was shocked: "What the hell? I thought she was trying to verify whether the monk could really dodge arrows shot by a strong bow at close range without being caught off guard!"
Wang: "Nini would not do such a thing! Li Guang, you brought the 'tail' to us!"
Tachimitsu: "Tail? Oh, it's a metaphor? Sorry, as a monk, I'm actually not very good at counter-reconnaissance and detecting stealth tracking of my enemies. I mean, as long as they don't release hostility."
The monks trained in some monk monasteries have the ability to sense murderous intent, and it seems that the monastery to which Tateguang belongs also teaches this.
Nini fired her bow continuously, and five arrows flew into the dense forest.
Suddenly, Nini stopped.
Wang: "What's wrong?"
Nini: "It's a spell, maybe it's to protect against arrows."
Then someone's applause floated in the air: "Yes, yes, he is indeed the marksman of the elves, and his reputation is well-deserved. The three of us were in trouble before we even met."
Xiaobai: "The tree spoke again!"
Several people dressed as rogues came out of the woods - the fact that rogues appeared directly like this instead of launching a sneak attack showed that these people were confident that they could escape at any time.
To be honest, without Marika now, it is really difficult to stop these wanderers from escaping with Nini's bow and arrows alone.
Xiaobai might be able to try grabbing a tongue in animal form.
Wang began to pray in his heart that Marika would also see the smoke coming back - but he suddenly remembered what Nini had just said: the canopy of the rainforest was very dense, basically blocking all sight.
So Marika, who went to the lizardman village from the ground, probably couldn’t see the smoke?
At this time, the other party also ended his observation of the king and commented: "The leader of the legendary salvation team doesn't look like a particularly powerful mage."
Elizabeth said: "He is relatively low-key, but he is actually a very powerful archmage."
The leader of the rogues laughed.
Wang: "Are you the peripheral troops of the religious sect responsible for doing dirty work?"
The rogue snorted: "Why are we called peripheral troops? Like the mages and priests at the sect headquarters, we are comrades fighting for a noble purpose!"
Wang: "Does that mean your combat effectiveness is about the same as that of the mages and priests here? Then I really have to be careful."
The leader of the rogues frowned: "What do you mean? Our comrades sent information. You just happened to get a scroll of Banshee's Wail, and then you killed Lord Erwin. You were just lucky!"
Wang: "Really? But I just killed another Erwin classmate."
Wanderer: "How is it possible..."
Gotrek silently grabbed the head of the mage who was lying on the ground, then lifted him up, stood upright and took him in his hands.
The barbarian was very tall, so even though he was just grabbing his head with one hand, he still had the dead black-robed mage's feet at least thirty centimeters off the ground.
Wang sincerely praised: "Manzi, your posture is very good, very suitable for the current situation."
Gotrick: "High!"
The rogues looked at the mage in Gotrek's hand in shock. The rogue on the left of the leader suddenly stopped and shouted: "Your Excellency Wahid!"
The leader immediately glared at the guy.
Wang: "It turns out his name is Wahid. Just now he was about to pronounce the finger of death. In desperation, I used Phantom Killer to kill him first."
Wang deliberately said this. If the cult had information about the Death Ring of the Law, it would judge that the ring might not be useful at this time.
If there is no information, then there is no need to expose the ring. You can use the ring to get another one in 24 hours.
Several wanderers were greatly shocked.
The Finger of Death is a seventh-level spell, and it can't fight against a fourth-level phantom killer. For people who don't understand magic, this is equivalent to beating monsters at a higher level.
For veterans who are experienced in magic battles, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Veterans sometimes even use tricks to deceive their opponents.
However, the behavior of these wanderers was clearly not that of veterans familiar with magic battles.
The king showed a kind smile: "What are you going to do now? Are you going to take a gamble that I have exhausted my magic, or are you going to surrender now and give us the information about the cult? The timing of your appearance is not good, the lizard people were just now They plan to tell us what happened in their village this morning.
"In this case, shouldn't you provide some information as compensation for interrupting the exchange of information?"
Elizabeth also showed a kind smile: "Our wanderer should be back soon. Even if you can avoid the king's magic, you can't escape her pursuit. It's better to be captured and tell her what you know before she comes back. .
"If she comes back, it won't be up to you to say anything or not."
The leader of the rogues laughed: "Of course we chose to test whether you have any magic left!"
As the words fell, six more people came out of the woods, three of whom had wounds that had just been bandaged. It seemed that three wanderers were bandaging three wounded people just now.
I don’t know why another person has to help bandage it, why can’t I bandage it myself?
The leader of the rogues laughed: "There are nine of us! How do you deal with nine experienced rogues with outstanding combat capabilities?"
Elizabeth: "Scorching Ray!"
The hit rogue screamed and fell to the ground, his leather armor bursting into flames. He kept rolling on the ground, trying to put out the fire, and screams filled everyone's ears.
Elizabeth: "There are only eight of us now."
