82. Chapter 82 Pretentious...failure
Behind Roddy, Nata, who was hiding in the darkness, wanted to leave directly, but when she saw this human figure looking alone, she felt that it would be unreasonable to kill her so much. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally raised her short bow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and aimed the arrow at the leopard's pupils that were looming in the darkness.
Nata's plan is very simple: take advantage of this opportunity to shoot the leopard to death, and then turn around and walk away... Anyway, there are prey everywhere, so the leopard's skin and flesh are cheaper than this human... It can be regarded as a reward for saving his life for this bonfire.
She thought this in her mind, but her fingers that were about to scatter the bowstring suddenly stopped at the next moment...
Nata's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly widened - in her vision, the human with chicken wings in her mouth actually picked up a short bow from her side, and her right hand had already held two arrows at some point!
When he stood up, turned around, and raised his bow, the long arrow was already on the bow window... His movements were casual and smooth, without any stiffness.
At the moment when the leopard suddenly burst out, the short bow that the human left hand in front of him had been pulled into a full moon.
The steel-tailed leopard roared out of the shadow, its muscles tensed, and rushed out three steps and jumped up!
Nata stared at the front with wide eyes. Everything happened in the flash was so fast that all the pictures left only afterimages in her eyes...
The human silhouette in the firelight did not move extra, but the right hand waving two phantoms appeared one after another.
The vibration of the bowstring was minimal, but the leopard's cry came to an abrupt end after it rang.
It seemed like the moment when time was still, the human body holding the bow sided, and with a slight difference, the beast that might have directly smashed his chest. After the leopard's huge and bloody body flew over, the guy actually reached out to pinch the chicken wings that were always in his mouth, and his mouth moved and continued to chew...
This posture seemed incredible to Nata, because he was like he was going to sit down and continue to eat after shooting two arrows.
"thump--"
When the leopard fell to the ground, Roddy had turned around and continued to flip the roast chicken above the bonfire as if nothing had happened. She sprinkled some salt she carried with her and whispered to words like "It seemed a little fading."
The "crackling" sound when the bonfire burned made the atmosphere appear quieter, but this "quietness" was inexplicably chilling in Nata's eyes... Her eyes turned to the leopard, and the bowstring that had been pulled in her hand was carefully retracted.
Nata's movements were very slow, as if she was afraid of making some noises - although she was reluctant to believe it, the facts in front of her caused her young heart to be unimaginable.
At this moment, the leopard that chased her to a desperate situation was lying not far away in front of her, and the warm body was completely stopped moving. If you look closely, you will find that this guy, who is much larger than Roddy, was actually shot in his eyes with an arrow, and his head was lying there as if there were horns on his head...
Nata witnessed the whole process of it being shot at close range, and the more she recalled the scene at that moment, the more she felt a sense of almost suffocating oppression. In the tribe, although her talent is not the highest, she is also at the upper level. However, after comparing the archery technique she once proud of with the person in front of her, she couldn't help but feel "shamed" in her heart, and her eternal frozen cheeks rarely showed a trace of depressedness.
I couldn't catch my prey for no reason, and was chased by a leopard. At this time, I was inexplicably hitting my self-esteem by a human who came from somewhere with terrible archery. This night was so long for Nata.
The human not far away hummed a song, took out a knife from the bag and divided the chicken, eating it with relish, as if there was no difference between killing the steel-tailed leopard and picking teeth. Nata felt that her legs were a little weak because of the stimulation of the scene just now, and she felt like she was exhausted and powerless. But after all, she remembered that she was a wood elf and she had a hunting mission, so she knew in her heart that leaving early was the right choice.
The humans in front of him are very powerful, and even brought to the point where Nata needs to look up to, but Nata does not need to have any interaction with humans after all. Thinking of this, Nata also had an impulse in her heart - she wanted to remember the face of this human, at least if she had the chance to meet her next time, she would never conflict with the other party.
No other thoughts remained in her mind. She raised her eyes, but she saw the other party tilting his head slightly, as if she was inadvertently glanced at this side...
Nata lowered her head almost immediately, avoiding looking at each other.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his state, Nata had an inexplicable illusion: the other party knew his existence from beginning to end, but she was always too lazy to point it out.
“ol’.”
As soon as Nata thought of this, a human not far away said something, and the sound was not small. She instinctively swept the bonfire in front of her, but found that the figure who was originally sitting there was actually...
Disappeared.
Her heart suddenly stopped for a half beat, and a premonition of extreme danger appeared in her mind. She turned around and wanted to escape from a distance, but unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she tripped for no reason under her feet, and her whole body fell forward uncontrollably!
Nata felt like she was going crazy because she obviously didn't see any obstacles under her feet!
This was not an accident or a mistake. She knew that she might have been conspired. With the light of her mind, she was about to kick her forward and roll out, but just as she stretched out her left foot, she was about to use force, when a foot that suddenly appeared next to her kicked her calf just right...
"ah--"
The next second, Nata, who was rushing forward, completely kicked in the air, lost all the points of leverage, and flew in the air and fell to the ground, looking like a dehydrated fish with an inexplicable sense of joy.
But before she landed, the belt between her arms and waist was grabbed by her hands that stretched out from somewhere in the darkness, and then she suddenly threw her out-
The scenery was rotating, but Nata breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The wood elf had a sense of balance that was similar to that of a cat, so the moment she was thrown out, she began to adjust the center of gravity. When she landed on the solid ground, her whole body had twisted from the rotation and stood steadily.
But Nata felt more and more strange in her heart, because she vaguely felt...the other party seemed to have done this on purpose.
After glanced around, Nata found herself standing next to the bonfire. The flames were burning quietly. The orange flame reflected Nata's face. Knowing that the short bow in her hand was useless, she immediately threw it aside, pulled out the dagger at her waist, and prepared to fight or escape.
The next moment, in the shadow in front of me, a slightly joking voice gradually came.
"Turn a leopard over, but you want to leave without even calling him? Alas, the wood elf is really-"
In the darkness, Roddy stepped out, and the "pretending" on her face seemed to be no longer worthy of a beating. The pure wood elf words in her mouth made Nata stunned... But in the middle of speaking, when Roddy saw the appearance of the wood elf in front of the bonfire, his words were stuck in his throat-
"No..." His tone became hesitant: "It's not such a coincidence..."
Roddy stopped, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at the small-sized wood elf girl in front of him. His brows frowned into the word "chuan", and his face showed a complex expression of indescribable emotion or helplessness. Then he coughed dryly and asked in a low voice: "Director--oh, no...are you...ah, you are Nata?"
At this time, Nata was ready to deal with all emergencies, and even thought of the "worst result" after the defeat. However, her imagination could not understand why such a situation occurred in front of her: a human who had never seen before actually spoke her real name in the standard wood elf language!
Nata began to wonder if she was in an unhelpful nightmare.
She looked at Roddy with a cold face, looking very calm, but in fact she had already become a mess in her heart. Nata suddenly felt that she was not leaving or staying... The millions of question marks in her heart finally turned into a sentence-
"Who is this human in front of you?"
"Uh... it should be you. Long time no see you - it's not right... Actually, we haven't met you yet, so it's the first time we've met you."
Roddy failed to show off completely. At this time, he no longer had the idle stroll like before. He lowered his head with awkward expression and took a few steps toward Nata. However, when he saw the other party retreating with alertness, he remembered that this was the first time he met the other party, so he said, "My name is Roddy, scout, from the Russiflon family."
He took out an emblem and shook it in front of the other side. The wood elf Nata looked at him, but there was no expression or response, but the dagger in his hand moved slightly down.
After saying this, Roddy looked at the wood elf girl in front of her, and her eyes seemed a little direct - Nata looked at him, but felt that the other party's eyes had no meaning of "consideration" or "covement". It was more of a kind of inexplicable emotion.
"Ha... I'm still the same, with a cold face, and I don't like talking like an iceberg."
Roddy shook her head and sighed to herself.
I really don’t know how I could have such a coincidence. The girl in front of me looked like a wooden elf girl, it was his “Ranker” mentor in the game!
Because of their bloodline similar to humans, their lifespan is only slightly longer than that of humans, and their appearance is similar to that of humans. However, at least they are mixed-blood groups with blood ties with high elves, so most of them have common characteristics of elves: handsome men and beautiful women. In Roddy's memory, he chose to advance his profession only in the third year of the service of Rift. At that time, he found the "iceberg mentor" in front of him in the wood elf village of Jingyu Forest, and since then he embarked on the path of a ranger.
The last time I met the other party was in 596 of Elon Calendar, when the other party was already the number one Ranger Hunter in the Wood Elf Village. Her strength was not very strong, but she did not continue to practice after crossing the 30th level threshold. In Roddy's impression, she was just a mentor-type NPC.
He had only had ten formal conversations with Nata. In Roddy's heart, Nata was just a symbol, representing the "mentor". As for the other party's appearance... in his impression, the pretty face was almost a mask, and he had never seen any other expressions. At first, he thought the instructor was serious, but later he would only doubt whether she had facial paralysis. Otherwise, how could she have not shown any other expressions for several years?
So in Roddy's heart, the other party was really a "three-no" iceberg and there was no way to communicate.
At this moment, he suddenly met the other party. Even though Nata was still young at this time, looking at the other party's expression that was similar to the relief, Roddy thought for a while, feeling that no matter how much he said, he probably wouldn't be interested.
He simply coughed twice and said, "Then... you are playing with you, say hello to Village Chief Brody for me, and said that the scorpion king named Ji and that was killed by me in the upper reaches of the village, and the poison bag was sold to Jige Town. That - cough cough, I'll withdraw first, goodbye, good night."
After saying that, he packed his luggage in front of Nata, leaving the corpse of the steel-tailed leopard, and nagging some Nata's words of confusion... and left.
"I will go to your village when I have time. That... just don't cum at that time."
The three horses were led by Roddy and disappeared into the darkness. Roddy's words echoed in the forest and gradually disappeared.
