172. Chapter 172 The Last Demon Hunter IV
For a moment, the wood elves, mercenary groups and the snake king Sakya broke out in an unprecedented conflict in the forest. Under such circumstances, the mercenaries were at an absolute disadvantage - the hidden arrows came from without knowing where they were, and they were simply unpredictable. Under such rain of arrows, they had to face the anger of the giant snake...
In an instant, seven or eight more mercenaries died in a bad life.
The flames erupted, and without any preparation, they were directly slaughtered. Even if the huge snake head did not spit fire, it would be enough to kill the mercenaries who were blind. Nearly forty mercenaries who came one after another could not even get close to them, and the arrows shot out in a hurry could not pose any threat to it...
Brody was not a cruel person, but when he saw these humans being repaid, his heart was much more "happy" than "unbearable" - beside him, Lando had already leaned over with an original hunting team, and the wood elves on the side looked nervous. After all, this was their first active attack on humans.
For wood elves, such behavior can be called "radical". After all, they are peaceful and never want to participate in the fight - they just have to abide by the village chief's death order.
"Village Chief, humans have no power to resist, now..."
“Retreat, wait for the result here.”
Brody gave orders to Lando, and the latter left. Soon after, a team retreated to Brudy. There were many young faces among these wood elves. It seemed that half of the elves in the village were involved in the battle, and even Hugo was following Nata. The wooden elves team, which had a total of eighty people, looked at the battle between Sakya and the expressions of the mercenaries in the distance. Some were fear of Sakya, and some were inexplicably excited by the attack on humans.
They knew that now they didn't understand why the village chief ordered such a decisive order to attack humans - because before that, this old elf had always advocated avoiding humans.
"Why should I listen to that human?"
Lando finally couldn't help but ask all the words of the elves. In their eyes, even if Roddy saved the village, he was a human after all, and he shouldn't have let the village chief obey such a plan.
Brody narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head and whispered: "His identity is not that simple... and he cannot be considered human."
"What?"
Not only Lando, all the wood elves who heard this news were full of surprise, and Nata quietly raised her ears - although her face was still cold, she was still concerned about this problem... Although she was busy all night, she was always worried about whether to learn archery with Roddy, and the biggest obstacle among them was Roddy's "human" identity.
Because of this concern, it was difficult for Nata to make a decision. However, after Brody said such words, she suddenly felt a little shaken in her heart. The village chief never talked randomly... Is he not a human?
But before these wood elves could figure out the purpose of the village chief's words, the battle situation in the distance changed instantly—
"Bang!"
The Snake King Sakya, who was spraying with flames, was suddenly hit on the chin, and his strength even made his head rise directly.
"boom!"
Then a shocking explosion sounded, and the nearby trees shook neatly. The shock wave even made the wood elves a hundred meters away feel the amazing wave of air...
What just hit it was a wind cone and a fireball.
The head of the Snake King Sakya was impacted, and his huge body immediately shrank into a ball, then henked without any damage to find the target. The scattered mercenaries gradually formed a formation, and then suddenly rushed out of it. He held an ice blue sword in his hand, jumped up like thunder, and directly waved the sword and slashed at the snake's head!
This crazy and bold guy is Kevin, the mercenary leader. The snake king Sakya in front of him had no time to identify because he was blind and he was immediately slashed on the snake's head with his sword...
"Clam!"
The huge recoil force made Kevin bounce away the sword that he originally wanted. The sword enchanted by the ice only left a faint trace on its head. It was obvious that the opponent's skull was extremely hard - but if one blow failed, Sakya's counterattack arrived without hesitation. The ejected flames and the thrust of the snake tail directly blocked Kevin's dodging route!
He knew that the monster in front of him was difficult, so he jumped up again and avoided the thrust like a tearing air. Then he waved the long sword in his hand and suddenly released a "ice shield"!
The whistling flame was completely blocked by the shield. Kevin continued to fight Sakya without any damage. He no longer had the lazy look he had before, but instead laughed wildly: "What Snake King - but that's it!"
Then the scenery around his body was twisted as the elements condensed. The ice-blue long sword suddenly swung, "booming" and stripped away countless scales on Sakya's body, leaving a deep wound!
Advanced "Magic Swordsman" level 24, elemental magic and powerful physical attacks are enough for Kevin and Sakya to resist for several rounds without being at a disadvantage.
The wood elves who had originally planned to retreat directly in the distance were stunned for a moment. They could not believe that a human could fight against the snake king Sakya head-on, and even gain an advantage...
The battle situation reversed instantly, and the position of the wood elves immediately became subtle.
Brody frowned. If he had followed his previous personality, he would have chosen to take all the elves to retreat to the village immediately when he encountered such a situation. But Rody's previous warning echoed in his ears, and he didn't dare to leave just like this...
"These mercenaries only have malicious intentions towards the wood elves and have no room for mediation. If they are not solved, the village will suffer sooner or later."
If it were the words of ordinary humans, Brudy would not take it so seriously. But when he thought of the letter and necklace that Roddy brought him... he held the wooden stick tightly and understood in his heart that the choice placed in front of him at this moment... there was only one left.
"Everyone moves forward!"
Brody raised the wooden stick, took a deep breath, and loudly issued an order that he had never imagined in his life: "Optimize those humans and prepare to shoot!"
When the rain of arrows suddenly poured into the mercenary group and the snake king Sakya, Kevin, who used his long sword to cut several arrows, narrowed up quietly, snorted coldly, reached out to find the scroll he was carrying...
"Since you have come out on your own initiative, let's solve it together."
Kevin, who was supposed to be shocked, was attacked by Snake King Sakya and nearly a hundred wood elves, showed a killing sneer.
*******
"Click."
At the same time, Roddy, who rushed into the underground of the palace, finally found the door of the "classic room" with the illusion that appeared again - it was said to be the gate. In fact, the entire "classic room" was hidden in a secret room inside a wall. From the outside, he didn't know where the entrance was. In the illusion, the elf king reached out and twisted the switch under a sculpture, and a ray of light flashed, and then the entire wall slowly opened to the side...
Roddy twisted the old switch in an instant, and the door opened slowly without any accident.
He was not surprised by this, but he was always thinking about the three words "Classic Room" in his heart: the high elves' research on arcane is almost crazy, and the results it caused are also different. Many historical materials bluntly commented that this race angered the gods because it studied arcane to the extreme, and eventually led to the demise of the entire clan...
History is always written by the winners. Roddy does not completely believe in such "historical materials". He only knows that the "classic room" belonging to the royal family must be filled with countless precious books. Any book that has been obtained in this era may be enough to become a priceless treasure.
With this idea, Roddy raised his head—in reality, there was no movement inside the dark stone chamber. In order to prevent interference with the details of the illusion, Roddy also closed the "Peripheral Character Status Bar". Therefore, in the complete darkness, Roddy could not see the indoor scene in reality at all, but could see the scene in the illusion clearly—
But just in case, Roddy raised his hand and said, "hlukji'smier!"
The light of the ring lit up, so that he could see the messy "classic room" in reality at the same time, as well as Dukar and Abaddon who were walking in the illusion.
Raising his legs and walking past the corpses that had been rotten for hundreds of years, Roddy slowly raised his head. In the room in the illusion, the bookshelf around him were filled with secret books and books that could be called priceless at the time. The tables and chairs around him were exquisite and luxurious. The ground under his feet were images from high-elf epic stories. The ceiling above his head was pure black, with twinkling stars on it.
Dukar gently hugged Princess Eve, who seemed to be asleep, and came to the classic room. King Abaddon walked to a long stone table, raised his hand and twisted a mechanism. The stone table slowly opened from the middle. After opening the arcane lock core, dozens of large books stored inside were exposed...
"After all, these things ruined us."
As the last king, the high elf had only bitterness in his tone at this moment. When he shook his head and raised his hand, the invisible power grabbed the books representing the peak of arcane research in mid-air, and then threw them all on the stone floor beside him with waves.
The originally priceless books were now no different from garbage in Abaddon's eyes.
Dukal silently placed Princess Eve's body on the stone table, reached out her hand, gently tidied Princess Eve's slightly messy silver hair, and her fingertips streaked across her perfect and delicate face. She could see what he wanted to say, but in the end she pursed her lips and took out a strange-shaped leather notebook from her arms in silence, and slowly placed it beside Eve.
"Dukar, this will not end easily."
The High Elf King looked at his movements, with some indescribable complex emotions in his tone, unable to say whether it was regret or sighing, "Since we touched the limit of arcane, we should have expected that this day would come... Those orcs, those weird powers would never be obtained by them themselves. You shouldn't have stayed here with me, you could have-"
"I can't beat them now."
The demon hunter raised his head, and his pair of snake eyes emitted a faint red light, "But this does not mean that it will not work in the future... I will leave the inheritance of power here, and one day there will be a successor to obtain it, know it, and understand all the missions of this power."
