Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 137: Trail of the Gnoll Leader

"Tsk tsk tsk, face... It's not a small change after half a year."

Ashmore put the two long swords in the scabbard behind his back, and did not answer Thorne's question, but looked at him carefully, swaying back and forth, tsk tsk amazement.

When the corner of his eye swept across the burning gnoll corpse on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in his golden eyes, and then, like a curious baby, he spit out a series of questions:

"The power of flame? Cursed Swordsman? Or Sword Singer? Or Sword Master? Our Shilipo Sword God in Waterfallshang Town is finally willing to upgrade his level? Isn't what you are after the most perfect advancement? How about it? Did you succeed? ?"

"You are still talking so much nonsense." Thorne was a little impatient with Ashmo's eyes, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Tell me the reason why you are here."

Today, Waterfall Town is being besieged by gnolls, but this guy suddenly appeared behind the enemy. From the contents recorded in the notebook he just dropped, Thorne probably guessed the opponent's purpose.

However, looking at the embarrassing appearance of his fight with the gnoll, it was obvious that he failed, so Thorne wanted to understand a little more to see if it was still feasible.

"It's still that familiar stinky face, it hasn't changed at all." Ashmo murmured softly and sat on the ground.

The half-blooded winter wolf, who had just been kicked and aggrieved, ran over and got into his arms, showing a humanized expression seeking comfort.

Ashmo rubbed the head of the half-blooded winter wolf indiscriminately and began to complain, "I'm not here because of you."

"What do you mean, what does this have to do with me?" Thorne's eyes flickered, looking down at Ashmore and asked.

But when he just finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. He forgot to talk to the guy in front of him, so he couldn't be too curious.

"Since you left, the dirty work of scouting the enemy in the field has all fallen on me, judging the number of enemies, tracking enemy tracks, understanding the enemy's intentions, giving directions to the caravan... I have to get it all sorted out. Chu, it's so annoying.

Shit, almost got caught tracking a bunch of ogres the other day, you know? Twenty stinky ogres chased me, scaring me into a bush.

As a result, he was lying on a large mass of feces pulled by some wicked animal. In order not to be found, he didn't dare to move.

Ugh! Look at me. I do such dirty and tiring work every day. I want to build a small house by the waterfall just like you, and look at the scenery through the window every day when I have nothing to do. How pleasing it is.

That guy Carlos is not allowed to live or die. He is just a broken house. He is full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and racial harmony.

Unlike you, who has been missing for such a long time, no one dares to reclaim your hut. It is different if you have a backer. I have pity on us, the oppressed low-level labor force. "

Ashmo sat on the ground and kept rubbing the furry head of the half-blooded winter wolf, while complaining non-stop, pouring down all the grievances and bitterness he had experienced in the past six months.

"He...is a player from Waterfall Town?"

At this time, the sorceress Andrina came out of the bushes, came to Thorne's side, pointed to Ashmo who was sitting on the ground and complaining about the wolf, and asked with a strange expression on her pretty face.

"Let's go, don't pay attention to him." Thorne glanced at Ashmo who was still nagging, and waved to Anderina with a sullen face, motioning her to follow.

The way to deal with the talker is actually very simple, that is, just ignore him. This is also the tried and tested method when Thorne often deals with Ashmore.

So, the two ignored each other and walked directly towards the waterfall town.

While walking Thorne meditated in his heart, when he counted to three, a voice that did not disappoint him rang.

"Hey, wait a minute, we're having a good chat, why are you leaving?" Ashmo pushed the half-blooded winter wolf away, got up and chased after him, blocking in front of Thorne and Andrina:

"I have news about the leader of the gnoll, how about it, do you want to join me for a big ticket?"

After Ashmo finished speaking, his golden eyes were uneasily patrolling back and forth between Thorne and Anderina. In the end, he couldn't help but stare at Thorne's face with ambiguous eyes.

"Who is this beautiful woman beside you? Didn't you introduce me?"

"Let's talk about the gnoll leader first." Thorne resisted the urge to go up and give him a kick, and said slowly.

"If you don't introduce me to give me a general understanding, how to start the plan against the gnoll leader?" Ashmo insisted with a serious expression on his face.

"go!"

Thorne's expression sank, and he directly pulled up Anderina, who was about to introduce herself, and turned away without hesitation.

He has been with the player Ashmo for nearly half a year, and he still knows him well.

Although he usually does not speak properly and likes to talk nonsense, but when it comes to more important things or battles, he has never been vague, otherwise he would not be alive until now.

When he was in Fallstown, he was mainly responsible for the reconnaissance, and Ashmore served as a supporting role for him.

This guy is a bit more talkative, but his attitude towards work is very serious except for occasional nervousness. The cooperation between the two is not bad, and there are almost no mistakes.

Moreover, this guy is also born with extraordinary agility, and has acquired the powerful "quick escape" talent.

Leaving aside other abilities, the ability to escape is definitely first-class, and the speed of running at full strength is beyond even Thorne.

I didn't expect that I haven't seen each other for half a year. The first contact has changed so much. Pushang Town is now resisting the attack of the gnolls. This guy is still here and has no sense of tension. Thorne suddenly felt a little helpless to him.

"Is there any problem with meeting between your friends and introducing each other? Besides, am I so shameless? Or are you guilty of something?"

Andrina was pulled by Thorne's arm, looking a little displeased.

"..."

Thorne was speechless by the sorceress's words. It wasn't that he didn't want to introduce it, but he was afraid that Ashmore would make an inch. Annoying.

"Just kidding you, in fact, I also hate the kind of people who keep nagging, let's go."

Seeing Thorne's deflated expression, Andrina suppressed a smile and shook the arm that was pulled by Thorne.

The two had not gone far when they were stopped by Ashmo who ran over again. He calmed down and was about to speak when he suddenly caught sight of Thorne preparing to draw his sword, and then he smiled solemnly. said:

"Actually, the battle at Waterfall Town is coming to an end, and it will end soon. You probably won't be able to help much now, because this is just a tentative attack by the gnoll."

"Then tell me the news about the gnoll leader." Thorne's expression slowed down, and he asked calmly by pressing the hilt of the sword.

As long as it is a large gnoll tribe with Yenogu fangs, it doesn't care about the sacrifice of gnoll warriors.

Because they have enough hyenas to transform in large numbers at any time, before launching a large-scale attack, the gnolls will choose to conduct tentative attacks during the day to find out the reality of the settlement and the approximate defensive strength.

"Ask me and you've found the right person." Ashmo glanced at Thorne proudly and said:

"Although the gnolls didn't pay much attention to this attack, their leader followed, and I accidentally discovered it by accident."

"You said that the big votes are big, do you mean to kill the gnoll leader?" Thorne heard the words and expressed his guess.

Now that the gnolls have made a tentative attack, they have a good chance of launching a large-scale invasion in the next few days.

If their gnoll leader is killed at this time, this group of gnolls will fall into chaos and infighting without command, and naturally have no intention of attacking Waterfall Town. Thorne is relatively clear about this.

"That's right, I originally planned to sneak in and complete it by myself, but I was accidentally discovered, and then what just happened." Ashmo said with a little frustration.

"So, what rank is the strength of this jackal leader, what is his occupation, how many guards are there, and how many spellcasters are there, do you know?" Thorne asked again.

"Uh...I don't know, I just glanced at it from a distance, and then I was chased all the way here." Ashmo looked a little embarrassed.

"So you don't know anything other than the other party's location." Thorne glanced at him helplessly.

This guy doesn't even know what the strength of the gnoll leader is, so he dares to take the risk alone and try to kill the opponent, which really fits his character.

"That's right..." Ashmo nodded, sitting on the ground and continuing to lick the wolf.

"How far is it from the location of the gnoll leader?" Thorne pondered for a moment and asked again.

"Not very far, northwest, about 2.5 kilometers." Ashmo answered truthfully.

"Then please, let your magic pet go over to scout the specific situation." Thorne turned around and said to Anderina.

There was no way, his ferocious eagle had already been released by him, and he went to find its original owner, and reconnaissance could only fall on the magical pet.

In fact, animal companions are very easy for Thorne to obtain. The reason why he has not had a fixed pet is mainly because it is inconvenient to carry.

If there is something that can be carried around like a sculpture and can be summoned at any time when you want to use it, it would be the best, but I have never encountered a suitable one.

Andrina nodded slightly, her mind moved, and the invisible little devil appeared, looked at Thorne dissatisfied, and immediately turned into a bird and flew in the direction Ashmo said.
