When you are thinking about it, time will always pass quickly, and before you know it, the sky is gradually getting dark.

Because this time I was riding a horse and I was not in a hurry to rush, Roddy took a route that he had planned before - passing through a low-level biological area in Jingyu Forest, and checking out if he could get a few animal furs, so that he could earn some extra money while taking shortcuts.

"It's not easy to live a budget-oriented life!"

Roddy sighed that although this journey to the Orc Kingdom has gained a little, there is not much that can be exchanged for money. The big problem of "fund" can never be avoided. More than 30 people eat and drink every day is not a small amount. Although the remaining money is enough for them to eat for a month, there is no fixed income industry, which really makes Roddy feel unsure.

In the evening, the guy who is now a level 8 soldier of the Legion walked into Jingyu Forest carelessly, and found a flat and safe ground before midnight to set up a tent, leisurely raised a bonfire, processed the turtledove that was shot down casually, and put it on the fire and roasted it.

Roddy, who was used to being alone, did not seem to feel withdrawn. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy this freedom alone in the jungle.

"If you can have a built-in mp3 player, just play some songs and listen to it."

"There is no cumin in this place. It's a headache, and there are no peppers...tsk tsk."

On a quiet night, the orange bonfire, the young man who was talking to himself with a relaxed face. This scene is very familiar to Roddy. He spent countless nights like this. When he thinks of this, he can't help but sigh.

Looking at the roast chicken on the bonfire, Roddy carefully checked the fire and figured out his plan to change jobs at level 10... If nothing unexpected happens, he should have come to Jingyu Forest, because his original tutor lived in this forest.

But now it is 588...what is that tutor doing at this time?

Thinking of this in his heart, he reached out to fiddle with the bonfire. However, just as the dinner in front of him was about to be completed, the "rustling" sound from not far away was destined to be unhappy for Roddy's dinner.

***

The darkness of the forest is not completely invisible. On the contrary, under the silvery moonlight, leaves, branches and soil covered with fallen leaves are clearly identified by the naked eye.

For the wood elves Nata, the jungle is far less terrifying than humans’ eyes. Even from a certain perspective, dense bushes can bring a sense of security to the wood elves. Unlike other elves, the "wood elves" have a deep connection with humans in blood, so they are not firm vegetarians, and they also need to make a living by hunting in the jungle.

As a young generation with great strength in the village, Nata is still a "novice" who is too young after all - novices always make mistakes, and unfortunately, Nata made many mistakes today, which led to her unprecedented critical situation...

Because of her poor and unsociable personality, Nata never likes to go out hunting with her companions in the village, so every time she goes out, she chooses to leave the team alone and act alone.

In the past, Nata would hardly miss her hand, but today she was obviously very lucky: first, when she shot a wild boar, she was dragged by the wound by the other party because the arrow was skewed three centimeters, and then three kinds of prey failed to succeed due to various incredible mistakes. This was a bit furious for the young Nata, and her emotional disorder made her make the most mistake...

She accidentally broke into the territory of an adult steel-tailed leopard and annoyed the other party.

For Nata, who is not strong enough, the "steel-tailed leopard" is not something she can afford now, so she immediately chose to escape - but she never thought that the leopard was chasing her relentlessly and pursued her all the way to the present!

She ran for two or three kilometers, and the black shadow behind her was still chasing behind her. Nata, who was running in the complex forest, felt that the other party seemed to be trying to exhaust herself to death. She had a short bow and there were five arrows left in the arrow bag. Although she still had room for counterattack, she knew that her shooting had lost the opportunity now. If she chose to fight to the death, she had almost no chance of winning!

Her gasping sounded more and more rapid, and her legs became numb and heavy. In the darkness, the forest in front of her could not find any obstacles to get rid of the leopard behind her, which made Nata feel a little chilled. However, just as she was thinking whether she should go out and turn to fight head-on, the orange light at the end of her vision made her suddenly raise her eyebrows.

Is it a bonfire? Is there human adventurers here?

Wood elves do not raise bonfires outside the camp. They themselves are very particular about the use of wood and never take materials from living trees. Therefore, when they see the flames here, wood elves Nata instinctively associates the only possibility - the guy in front of them should be the "human adventurer" mentioned by the elder.

Her mood was a little relaxed, and she knew the characteristics of the steel-tailed leopard being afraid of the flames, so at this time, Nata's running direction immediately changed, and she turned toward the fire that was jumping in the forest - she believed... When the steel-tailed leopard noticed the flames, she would definitely choose to stop chasing.

As for whether the leopard will attack the unknown caravan or adventurer, Nata is not worried at all. She doesn't intend to have any interaction with the other party, and she doesn't even have any curiosity at all.

The wood elves were originally almost silent when they ran in the forest, but because they had been running for too long, Nata, who was circling left and right, had a very obvious footsteps at this time, but what was even more obvious was the increasingly unconcealed sound of flesh placing on the ground behind her...

The steel-tailed leopard began to accelerate.

Although there were still forty or fifty meters away, Nata could already see the figure in front of the bonfire - what surprised and disappointed her was that there was only one person in this camp.

Not far away, the reins of the three horses were randomly tied to the tree. It seemed that because of the movement, they were all swaying the horse's hooves uneasily. But even though the horse made such a clear warning, the guy sitting in front of the bonfire still seemed to have no idea. He was holding a few big leaves in his hand, sang a strange "song" while sang a strange "song":

"only you—can accompany me to the Western Paradise, only you—can subdue demons and ghosts..."

Nata frowned, and suddenly slowed down quietly after turning a giant tree, and her steps suddenly became lighter. Then she jumped forward, and her figure disappeared silently behind the shadow of a bushes.

At this time, she had arrived twenty meters behind the human being barbecued. Nata believed that with her sneaking skills, the other party would probably only think that there was some movement beside him, and would definitely not realize that she had come to the other party's back.

As his eyes turned to the darkness in the distance, Nata breathed a sigh of relief - the steel-tailed leopard, who had been chasing behind him, stopped, and the huge figure with a slightly raised tail looked at the bonfire and hesitated, with wide eyes wide open eyes as if searching for something. However, at this angle, Nata, Roddy, the bonfire and the steel-tailed leopard were in the same line in order... So the first thing the leopard could see was the bright flame, and then the Roddy was humming the song, and he could not find Nata's figure...

The huge leopard was lying low on its body. The unique ambushing posture of the cat proved that it did not give up its desire to attack. Obviously, after losing the target of Nata, its anger did not subside. Instead, it directly turned its hunting target to the human in front of the fire.

The so-called "fear of flames" is just a fear in instinct, but the adult leopard has a higher intelligence and will naturally not be scared away like other animals - and what it understands more is that the "new prey" in front of him has no helpers and no threats. It is as delicious as a lamb falling from the sky... It cannot be spared no matter what he says.

It was only a matter of a moment. The steel-tailed leopard has grown up, and its physical fitness, confidence and strength are at its absolute peak, so when it slows down, sneaks into the shadows, and gradually comes to the edge of the bonfire lighting range, it has proved its determination to kill this human being next.

So, on this quiet night, the wood elves and leopards who broke the silence were forced to impose an unrestrained battle on the young man sitting in front of the bonfire at this time--

He even had no room for protest.

...

Roddy's mood was actually quite subtle at this time.

I have been in the forest for too long, so the vigilance that I never gave up made him realize the source of the sound early. If it were in the past, I would have probably said that he would have no matter who the other party was, but how many arrows were shot out.

However, the reason why he hasn't taken action yet is that Roddy's level is high enough to be afraid of all creatures within a radius of twenty miles; the second is that Roddy heard the light footsteps from the wood elves in Jingyu Forest - and coincidentally, Roddy's mentor was also from this race that lived in the forest.

Thinking that he would deal with this race in the future, he did not react too aggressively.

However, when it comes to that "mentor", Roddy has not met with the other party several times. The old virgin who always had a cold face just assigned her promotion tasks and taught her the most basic skills. After her Ranger level was promoted to level 30, she never saw her again.

In my impression, the old virgin, like a cube, ignored everyone. Now when I recall it, I realized that I almost forgot what the other person looked like.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Roddy listened to the footsteps gradually lowering in her ears, and couldn't help feeling helpless: it seemed that the wood elf couldn't handle the guy chasing him, so she could only run to the bonfire to divert her attention - she had no grievances and became a "shield", which made Roddy inexplicably feel a sigh of "destined for a lifetime".

However, he didn't complain much, and he quickly made a decision in his heart: then he pretended to be a slap in front of this wood elf, and then he was close to the other party - anyway, he would come in the future, give people a "good impression" first and make the "reputation" come up!

Yes, it was decided so happily!

Roddy tore off a chicken wing, blew it, opened her mouth and bit off a piece of meat. She seemed to think it tasted pretty good, so she nodded, and then... she bit the chicken wing and stood up slowly.
Chapter completed!
