Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 228: trade

The 'Little Frog' Tavern in the early morning was dark and dank, and the smell of wine and baked goods from the night before was still lingering. The room was almost empty, with only a few scattered guests sitting on chairs covered with animal skins drinking stuffy wine.

The tavern owner was yawning as he bustled in the hot tub by the counter, beer mugs clinking in his hands.

At this time, the tavern owner suddenly noticed a dark shadow coming down the stairs from the corner of his eyes. He saw that his movement of wiping the wine glass stopped for a while, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Then he looked up and said with a smile, "Is the recovery going well? Mr. Thorne."

Thorne, who walked down the stairs, first glanced at a few scattered people in the tavern, and stayed on the man in black sitting in the corner for a moment, then turned to look at the tavern owner, thanking: "It has recovered. ,thank you very much for your help."

In the battle in the underground space, although it was a successful end, he was kicked in the chest by the nightmare summoned by the death knight, resulting in several broken ribs and burns. feast'.

So Thorne was extravagant, and asked the well-known tavern owner to spend 700 gold coins to help him buy a bottle of advanced healing potion. Thorne naturally kept in mind the help of the tavern owner.

"Don't be so polite." The tavern owner smiled heartily, wiped his hand on the canvas apron, then took out half a bottle of light cyan juice from the counter, filled a glass and pushed it in front of Thorne, and said casually:

"Did you know? The 'Tower of the Dead' in the center of the town, which had been shrouded in shadows for many years, suddenly and strangely disappeared a few days ago, and the whole twisted tower collapsed suddenly, killing two unlucky people who couldn't walk with long eyes. Egg. It's so weird!"

The 'Tower of the Dead' turned into a pile of ruins?

Thorne's calm expression hidden in the hood fluctuated for a while, then he took a sip from the beer mug, and replied calmly: "I don't know, you know, I have been staying in the guest room for the past few days. Inside."

"Are you going to leave Twin Towers Town?" The tavern owner continued to keep busy with the clinking beer mugs, and couldn't help asking again.

"Yes, I'll be leaving today." Thorne drank the slightly sour apple juice in the beer mug and put it on the table.

"Then, I wish you a good trip!" The tavern owner breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Thorne and said sincerely.

"Thank you for your blessing, I accept it." Thorne took out ten gold coins from his pocket, piled them up on the table, pushed them over, and showed a smile.

"One gold coin is enough, if you don't want this much, it's not easy for you adventurers." Seeing the shiny gold coins, the tavern owner hesitated, and finally took only one of them and pushed it to Thorne. In front of him, he refused.

"Yes." Thorne gently moved his hand to the hilt of the sword, and said to the tavern owner in a faint voice: "I'm very sorry, I may have to disappoint you, I'll be right after this is done. Go, and promise you never to come again."

The tavern owner noticed Thorne's serious expression hidden in the hood, and glanced at the room subconsciously, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately shrank his whole body under the counter.

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Walk!”

When the tavern owner hid, Thorne's thoughts moved, and a cloud of shadow energy quickly wrapped his body, and then disappeared without a trace in place.

"court death!"

The man in black who was hiding in the corner noticed the shadow energy cloud that suddenly appeared in front of him, his savage face showed a stern look, he kicked the table in front of him, and rammed in the direction of Thorne's appearance.

"Crack!"

Thorne slashed the table in half with a sword, and stared coldly at the man in black in front of him: "Mara admirer, you are really patient."

A few days ago, not long after he lived in the guest room of the tavern, he felt the palpitations of being peeped in secret, and immediately knew that he was being watched, so he stayed in the guest room and hardly stepped out of the door.

Now, if you want to sneak to the Wild Skull Mountains to fish in troubled waters, you have to stalk the Mara believers here and plan to follow him all the way, or else when he gets there, all the crazy hunters will greet him.

"Roar!"

The Mara worshiper, who was recognized by Thorne, responded with a deafening roar, which sounded like the madness and excitement of a hungry and ferocious beast stalking its favorite prey. .

A few scattered guests in the tavern heard the terrifying roar, and immediately reacted, and with the collision of the chair and the wine glass, they hurried to the exit.

Druid's transformation?

Thorne unexpectedly glanced at a large black cheetah that the man in black transformed into.

The size of the black cheetah in front of him is close to the size of a tiger, and the elegant body can see obvious muscle outlines, which has an explosive beauty.

From this, he could see that the opponent's strength attribute had even exceeded 20 points, and it should have been blessed with a Druid's strengthening magic.

Facing the large cheetah whose pupils were flashing with scarlet rays and roaring at him like a demonstration, Thorne clenched the sharp blade in his hand and moved his footsteps slightly, slowly pulling a distance away from him.

He didn't dare to turn around and run away, because this was equivalent to exposing his back in front of its eyes, which was no different from taking the initiative to die.

Thorne, who has lived in the Emerald Wilderness for a long time, knows that in a short-distance burst sprint, there are almost no beasts that can surpass a cheetah, and what's more, this is a large cheetah that has been greatly strengthened by magic.

The moment he turned around, the large cheetah in front of him would instantly pounce on him, and then use his powerful jaws to mercilessly bite his throat.

Therefore, the only way to take the initiative to attack is the best defense.

——“Steel Soul School (Stance Skill): Bright and Pure Body!”

Thorne's pupils shrank slightly, and the moment he activated the Steel Soul faction skill, he took a deep breath, swung his long sword and slashed towards the cheetah's neck.

"Whoosh!"

The cheetah turned around and jumped lightly, nimbly avoiding Thorne's scorching slash, and at the same time, his scarred face showed a mockery to him.

"Roar!"

Immediately afterwards, the cheetah roared, and then the muscles of the whole body became vigorous, wrapped in the stench of the nose and the cold killing intent, and rushed towards Thorne, and the sharp fangs pointed directly at his soft throat.

Thorne stood still, and was very calm in the face of the cheetah's swooping.

"clang!"

I saw that he first waved his long sword to slay the demons and slashed a scorching sword light in the mouth of the cheetah. The sharp blade collided with the two strong teeth of the cheetah, and the cheetah retracted its head in pain.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne took the opportunity to retract his sword to block a flickering cold light claw, leaving a bloodstain on the cheetah's claws as hard as iron.

The second claw attack followed by the cheetah was blocked by another short sword drawn by Thorne's left hand. sound.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the sturdy and tough long tail of the cheetah with fierce eyes also took advantage of the situation, and the leopard tail like a leather whip tore the air and howled with a strong wind. The swipe of his tail left a burning pain in his chest.

Watching the roaring large cheetah vigilantly, and feeling the burning pain in his chest, Thorne was secretly glad he didn't recklessly use the Desert Wind Sect's "Flame Star" to blind his eyes, otherwise it would be more than this pain , but a wound tearing flesh.

In the face of the attack of the beast, it would be better if the attributes were not crushed, but this cheetah surpassed him in both strength and agility with the blessing of magic, and also had a skilled "multiple attack". Claws, sharp teeth and long tails are the deadliest weapons.

"Roar!"

In the dimly lit bar, the roars of the beasts sounded frequently. In a confrontation, the cheetah, whose sharp claws and big mouths were bleeding at the same time, seemed to be aroused by the most primitive fierceness, taking advantage of Thorne's repeated retreat. Kung Fu, swooped at him frantically again.

"boom!"

Thorne, who was backing up continuously, suddenly jumped up, dodging the cheetah's swooping, but also landed steadily on a table, looking down at the cheetah in front of him condescendingly.

- "Shadow Hand School (Strike Skill): Shadow Blade Technique!"

Then, with a thought of Thorne, he waved the two sharp blades in his hand and slashed the cheetah that could fall to the ground. The two sharp blades flashed a cold light in the air, and when he was about to approach the cheetah, he suddenly turned into The four shadow blades surrounded by shadow energy made the cheetah, who was about to attack, noticeably pause.

"Pfft!"

The two blades made of shadow energy were resisted by the cheetah's claws and dissipated in the air. The other two real blades hit one of the cheetah's eyes and neck respectively. With Thorne's force, they sputtered out. Hot blood.

A beast is a beast after all, only the skin of the beast can't resist the stab of the sharp blade in his hand.

As the two blades were pulled out at the same time, the pained cheetah let out a mournful wailing. Thorne took this opportunity to jump on the cheetah's back, and his left hand caught the swept tail in pain and grabbed it violently. Tight, and then use all your strength to press its body down.

At the same time, the long sword in the right hand also slashed a few scorching sword lights, and the cheetah's body suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, turning into the original appearance of the man in black.

The target is dead!

Gain 1000 practice points through your understanding of battles!

...

"At least it's a druid of level 8 or above majoring in transformation." Seeing the experience prompt, Thorne guessed.

After scavenging on him, he walked towards the entrance of the tavern, preparing to go to the Wild Skull Mountains north of Twin Towers Town.

Thorne left the tavern as the rusty wind chimes collided with a 'tinkling' sound, and then noticed a familiar figure in the crowd looking at him.

"Why are you here?" Thorne looked at the figure of the female player Alvey, put the two sharp blades in the scabbard, and said, "You didn't mean to live in seclusion in that farmyard for the rest of your life."

"The incident in the tower has been resolved, and no trouble has come to my head, so I will come back naturally." Accompanied by the vigilant captain of the barbarian, Alvi walked over to Thorne and whispered, "I am interested in doing a Is there a deal?"
