Chapter 38

It was completely dark, and the gloomy woods became cold, wet and more dangerous.

Victor and Nelson galloped through the woods one after another. The dark and complex environment could not slow them down at all, not only because Victor had a dark vision, but also because the howling of the distant jackals clearly pointed out the direction for them.

"Nelson, we have company, 40 yards on the left, two, 35 yards on the right, one." Victor gently said to Nelson that the x-3 constantly compared the changes of the environment, which doomed the ambush of these jackals to failure.

The breeze surrounded the short arrows shot by Victor, so that the sharp short arrows were as fast as lightning and silent. They shot through the eyes of the two jackals and directly into their brains. The two orcs each gave a cry and fell to the ground.

The Jackal lying in ambush on the right heard the scream of his companions dying and knew that their ambush had been exposed. He took Victor's loading crossbow and rushed over with flail.

Stamina 12, spirit 10, perception 13, life 9. Victor collected the data of the Jackal while loading the crossbow arrow. He was not worried that the strong Orc could hurt him.

Sure enough, Nelson flew the Jackal directly with an axe. The unlucky guy didn't even scream and fell ten meters away.

The battle had just begun and was over.

Victor's high perception and Nelson's high physique form a perfect complement in this complex and dark environment, which can produce such sharp combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why Victor didn't bring ordinary guards in, because ordinary guards will only become a burden to them in the dark and cramped environment. If someone is injured again, it will slow them down.

"Wait! There seems to be something wrong ahead."

Without stopping, they went straight ahead and walked out 50 meters, but Nelson was pulled by Victor.

Victor frowned. He only heard the howls of jackals fighting one after another 700 meters ahead, but he didn't hear the cry of black feather.

Victor took a deep breath, turned on the super sense and super limit at the same time, and focused all his attention on the sound source. X-3 eliminated those irrelevant sound signals one by one. Soon Victor captured the sound of black feather, 1200 meters to their left, and was still approaching. It was obvious that the alchemical crow was approaching them quickly.

"There's a trap ahead! Go left."

At this time, we must race against time. Victor can only explain to Nelson as he walks.

"In the cry of the jackal in front, I didn't hear the sound of weapon collision or the cry of black feather, so it must be a trap. I just enabled my talent ability. I heard black feather in this direction, about 1200 yards. Nicole should be over there!"

It was indeed a trap arranged by gorash. He ordered his jackal slaves to howl there in order to distract the humans who were chasing him. Unfortunately, the wise old ogre didn't know that Victor's perception was sharper than that of a knight, which made his wishful thinking come to naught.

"Sir, if you move 1200 yards in this direction, the jackals who set traps can raid us from behind."

Nelson frowned and pushed forward. It's OK. If he gets caught in the situation of back and forth attack, the Lord will be in danger.

"Your Excellency, although you have extraordinary skills, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to take care of your safety if we are attacked from behind. Therefore, you'd better go back and call some people. I'll support Miss Nicole alone first." Nelson hoped that Victor would give up his adventure. Nicole would certainly save him, but the Lord's life safety was more important.

"We already have reinforcements!"

Victor smiled as he sped along. "I just sensed that the Bruce knight was right behind us."

"That's great! Why don't we go back and meet Lord Bruce first?" Nelson was overjoyed and stopped to suggest to victor.

Nelson is certainly happy to hear that there are strong reinforcements, but they have seen through the trap and changed their way, and Bruce may not be so lucky.

"Bruce values noble etiquette and knight creed. He won't meet us unless he has to. And whether he falls into the trap of jackals or follows up to protect us, the problem you just worried about has been solved, hasn't he?" Victor was so worried that he couldn't go back and meet Bruce again.

Seeing that Victor had made up his mind, Nelson stopped talking nonsense and opened the way in front with two battle axes.

After a while, they met the oncoming black feather. When he saw Victor's "quack", he shouted and rose and fell in front of Victor, flying up and down like a dance.

"Nicole is right ahead. In addition to the old ogre, there are four jackals hiding there. Let's go." Victor mastered the meaning of black feather through its action.

When the two men rushed forward under the leadership of Heiyu, the howling jackals suddenly became silent, and then the howling became a miserable wail.

Victor and Nelson looked at each other. It seemed that Bruce had really broken into the trap and was killing there.

Regardless of silence for the unlucky jackals, they moved forward for hundreds of meters. Finally, Nelson heard the sound of battle in front of them.

Four strong jackals blocked their way. Victor's pupils narrowed. One of the four jackals was very tall, obviously a fierce jackal.

Without any hesitation, Victor opened beyond the limit, beyond the sense, and without interruption. He directly entered the state of apocalypse, and everything slowly and clearly appeared in his mind.

The two short crossbows in Victor's hand were raised, and the two crossbow arrows flashed in the air and disappeared into the eyes of the ferocious jackal. Unfortunately, it was a ferocious monster after all. It clamped the short arrow with its eyelids in time and was not directly shot dead.

Suddenly, Victor shot him blind, which made the Jackal angry and scared. But at this time, he could only roar there loudly and wave his claws around crazily and in vain. Under his terrible strange force, the thick trees at the mouth of the bowl were broken as soon as he grabbed them.

A general idea, this fierce jackal enough to compete with Nelson was abandoned by Victor.

The breeze surrounded Victor's body and made him sweep forward like the wind. A jackal smashed the flail in his hand at Victor, but hit it empty. Then it felt cold in its ribs. When it looked down, blood was gushing out of his body. After a wail, the Jackal fell to the ground. Just now, Victor's dagger crossed the gap between his ribs and divided his heart in two.

For a moment, four jackals died and one was disabled, while Victor disappeared into the trees ahead like a wisp of smoke.

Other jackals looked around in disbelief. They tried to lock the human like a ghost. A violent drink woke them up. Another human warrior with double axes and big stature rushed towards them with red eyes.

Nicole was beaten back by gorash again. She staggered back, half knelt on the ground and gasped heavily. The deformed round shield on her left hand was completely scrapped this time, and her left arm had lost consciousness. I'm afraid the arm bones had cracked.

Are you dying?

Under the fighting spirit, the two fire elements were still motionless, which made Nicole feel a burst of despair.

Nicole didn't expect that gorash, who was badly hurt, would be so fierce.

At first, she followed the old ogre's blood all the way, but the old ogre seemed to notice and took her in circles until she was led to this place.

Here, Nicole found that she had been surrounded by gorash and some jackals, and the hunter had become prey.

After Nicole killed two jackals, the old ogre said a few words to the other jackals. The jackals scattered, and the old ogre began to attack Nicole himself.

After a fight, Nicole realized that the old ogre was more terrible than she thought. Even if it had broken an arm, she couldn't cope with it. The heavy wooden stick, in its hand, is light like a straw. The powerful and heavy attack is delicate and accurate without leaving a flaw. It keeps Nicole out of the circle steadily, so that she can't cut into the effective attack range and can only defend passively.

Gorash waved a heavy stick to repel Nicole again. If the old ogre didn't seem to be afraid of something, I'm afraid she would have been killed by gorash.

The crow that had just circled and chirped overhead had left. Nicole knew it was Victor's pet black feather.

It should have gone to report to victor. Nicole thought sadly.

Gorash carefully observed Nicole's movements. Now he has determined that the human female has no ability to resist and is about to become its night snack.

Thinking of this, gorash's smelly saliva flowed all over his chin. In the battle with Bruce, he not only broke his arm, but also vomited out the food in his stomach. Now he is in urgent need of food.

When you recover, you must eat the Scarface! Gorash thought bitterly.

After gorash brought the human female warrior here, he ordered several jackal slaves to kill her, but after two jackals died, the other jackal slaves began to cringe under the hint of scar face, their original leader.

Gorash knew Scarface was testing it. If it couldn't show its strength as usual, the fierce jackal would lead his men to turn his master into dinner.

Jackals have never been a kind race. When dealing with them, we must always be careful of their counterattack.

Gorash had to do it himself, and when he showed an overwhelming advantage over Nicole, the flickering jackals became respectful again.

In order to prevent these greedy and ferocious guys from stealing food, gorash rushed them to the periphery to be on guard.

The old ogre walked to the female trainee knight who was half kneeling on the ground. He wondered why human beings sent only one female soldier to chase him, and the crow that had been circling and chirping in the sky made him feel uneasy. Therefore, instead of directly killing Nicole, he was alert to the surrounding conditions. He thought it might be a trap.

Gorash was ready to end Nicole's life. When he held up his wooden stick and smashed it directly at the human female, he suddenly heard the scream of Scarface. His face suddenly changed. Then there was a sharp pain in his left eye, which made him scream "ow". Then gorash saw the human noble standing 20 meters away, filling a crossbow.

Gorash's intuition told him that the nobleman must not fill the crossbow. It resolutely gave up killing Nicole, but waved a wooden stick and rushed at Victor with an evil wind.

Victor broke through the Jackal's interception. After passing through a bush, he saw a scene that frightened him. Before he could load another crossbow, he shot a short arrow just filled in his hand at the old ogre.

The short arrow, like a bolt of lightning, blinded the old ogre's left eye, and the monster didn't give Victor more time. He rushed straight over and smashed the stick in his hand at him.

In the state of apocalypse, Victor skillfully dodged gorash's crazy attack. The wooden stick falling like raindrops could not touch victor at all, which made gorash more crazy. He roared and waved the wooden stick desperately, and the large pieces of soil and Bush shrouded his figure with victor.

"No!"

Nicole's eyes are about to crack. She can't see Victor's current situation. Despair and pain fill Nicole's heart. Tears mixed with blood flow from the corners of her eyes. The strong emotion drives the fighting spirit to run crazy. The original motionless fire element node finally resonates late.

The four elements cheered and gathered around Nicole, giving her unparalleled strength at this moment.

Nicole, like a detached arrow, snatched at gorash, and the bright long sword with a fierce howl cut down the old ogre's neck.

With a "bare" sound, the ugly head of the old ogre was cut off, and its face still retained a crazy and ferocious look. After the headless body was kicked out a few meters away by Nicole, dark red blood gushed out of the disconnected neck, forming a small blood pool on the ground.

Victor retreated from the apocalyptic state and was spotless. He smiled at Nicole, who was looking at him. He was about to speak, but Nicole held him tightly.

Nelson killed all his opponents, rushed over, saw this behind the scenes, and quietly retreated back.

Bruce put away his sword and took a long breath.

At the moment of Nicole's outbreak, Bruce sensed the activity of elements even though she was thousands away. He knew that Nicole had become a real knight.

However, looking at the bodies of more than a dozen jackals lying around, Bruce frowned and couldn't help but swear.

"Shit."
