The moonlight shines, and shadows are spread on the rocks. The Great Spirit of the Spring stood beside the spring and gazed at the water, like a statue.
As Titus introduced earlier, the "Great Elf of the Spring" in front of him is very big in every sense of the word. His height is estimated to be more than 2.4 meters, probably around 2.5 meters. No gaps were exposed in the heavy armor, only the lower half of the face, slender ears, and blond hair flowing down from the back of the helmet were exposed.
A white deer, a man in golden armor, a girl pushing a bicycle, and Shangluo. A strange team came out of the dense forest, but it did not attract the attention of the big elf.
"Let's stop here." Bai Lu turned around and returned to the forest. As the "guardian" of this heroic parade, it was quite a show of honor for her to personally lead Shangluo for a short period of time.
But there may be another reason, that is, Shangluo's current progress is much slower than others. Bailu hoped that everyone could finish on time, so he led Shangluo along the way.
"Yeah" Shangluo calmed down and listened to other places in the forest first. It was quiet on Lu Liang's side, and there was no sound of cannons on Wen Yuan's side. Only occasionally, a burst of "strange" gunfire could be heard - the sound was unusually loud, almost like the sound of cannons. One shot after another, and before each shot, a colorful rainbow light could be seen shining through the dense forest. The light lasted only a moment before disappearing, followed by the sound of gunfire.
Apart from gunshots, the loudest noise was from Han Xingzhi in the north. But instead of the sound of fighting, there was the roar of some strange engine.
Somewhat worried, he still made a call.
"Strange sound? What strange sound? Everything is normal here." Han Xingzhi asked. But a strange roar was already coming along the channel.
"So are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine. It's just that I didn't successfully attack the elf just now. It seems that the threat of the Qi Practitioner was too high, so I forced myself to do it. Please be careful. Wait, Mr. Fox has something to do with me. Ah, I understand, go ahead. Turn left. Do you hear me? Turn left, and be careful not to hit the cypress tree!" He shouted, as if giving an order to something.
Everything does seem to be fine on the other side. It seems that only the immediate problem remains unresolved.
"Okay, get ready."
He first looked back at Karin: "You know how to fight later, right?"
"Understood, it's the moon. When Mr. Titus was explaining the strategy to you, I was listening next door."
The most important thing in conquering the Great Elf of the Fountain is the moon - even now, the Great Elf is staring at the moon in the water, looking at it in trance.
The battle with the Great Elf of the Fountain is simple. Just make her look up and see the moon, she will freeze, and then take the opportunity to chop off her fingers.
Shangluo saw the target: the finger of the great elf Yongquan. Different from humans, as Lothian elves who are 2.5 meters tall, they have a pair of "elf hands" that are mentioned repeatedly in legends. And those hands, each hand has six fingers.
There are no deformities, no defects, but flawless six fingers, as natural as the five fingers of the human form. With the help of six fingers, Lothian elves can use the harp to play "elven songs" that are difficult for humans to perform. The elves' sword dance is also based on six fingers. The most important difference is magic.
I can barely learn the Elf Song and Elf Sword Dance. But elves use six fingers to cast spells, and the six-finger gestures cannot be completed with five fingers anyway, so they can only imitate them as much as possible. As for the sign language used to communicate between elves, it was the language of the wind that was completely elusive to the Romans.
That finger not only has a practical purpose, it also has a symbolic meaning. That is a symbol of the elves themselves: prehistoric humans used ocher as paint to create murals in caves, and they left their handprints on the cave walls, which remain to this day. Those who left traces of five fingers were Homo sapiens, and if there were traces of six fingers, they were left by the Lothian elves.
According to the strategies summarized by the Romans. As long as one finger is cut off, the human will can be slightly awakened. Cut off two of them, and the command spell the elf placed on this body will become ineffective.
In addition, after cutting, the elves will no longer use sword dance to fight - with the blessing of anger, they can be three times stronger even if they use unsystematic slashing.
"The extra finger is between the ring finger and the little finger." Karin answered, "Actually, I can feel that finger occasionally. I also occasionally experience phantom pain in my hands because that finger is missing."
"Good. So are you armed?"
"No." Karin shook her head, "But I will hold her hand for you. I have a feeling that mine should be able to hold her hand. But I don't want to see the blood. It's scary. And Knife. So after I help you catch it, I'll ask you to handle it." She didn't even dare to say the words "cut" or "cut".
"Okay. So...who's going to kill the monster?"
The Great Elf of the Fountain will not take the initiative to attack. Because she is only here to protect the forest king, she will even protect lost humans. If they don't take the initiative to attack, the Great Elf of Yongquan will not block their passage at all, and will only be summoned by the Forest King when he needs it.
Karin didn't answer. She was a little scared.
Apollonia was pretending to look at the scenery.
"Come in." Shangluo tugged on Jin Jia's arm.
"Okay, I'll go." Apollonia took a step -
Suddenly, the big elf's head turned stiffly.
"Hey, it really doesn't work. This armor is too threatening. You are the only one left."
The Great Elf of the Fountain does not only know how to defend unconditionally, but only when it looks harmless. Han Xingzhi was like this before, and there was no need to ask the other two people. Jin Jia couldn't get close to him either. But only Shangluo can attack monsters.
"Okay, I'll do it."
He slowly walked behind the great elf Yongquan and walked over slowly.
The moon illuminates this place as brightly as day. He could see his way clearly without the help of additional lighting.
Although he knew that the other party was unlikely to have any reaction, Shangluo was still a little nervous.
He peeled away the clumps of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme on the ground with his toes, and walked slowly behind the fountain elf. Her cascading blond hair hung down from her back to her waist.
"I'm offended!" Shangluo slammed open the flap, lit the blade, and stabbed the elf's right hand violently - the "sixth finger" flew out. The wound did not bleed, but was burned and sealed. The big elf was shaken violently, and his whole body collapsed. He was half-kneeling by the spring, but he held his left hand to his chest.
There was no time to aim at the other hidden finger. It was useless to cut off the hand. The sixth finger had to be cut off accurately. He retracted his sword without aiming at the sixth finger, and before the big elf could get up to counterattack, he suddenly thrust forward. The blade penetrated the elf's heavy armor like a hot knife cutting through butter, passing through the chest.
This is the standard process of opening monsters. If you cut off a finger with a sneak attack from behind, you can directly enter the second stage. Of course, if you move quickly enough, such as recruiting some invisible assassin to cut off two six fingers at the same time, this process will be over immediately.
The big elf fell silently towards the spring water, but turned over in the air, fell into the spring water on his back, and disappeared in the clear moonlight.
"Prepare to defend! The monster is on!" He quickly ran back to the team.
More will come out later around 12 noon, and there will be others in the afternoon
