Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 31: annihilate

rustling...

It was unusually quiet in the dim sewers.

Two burning torches on the walls bring a touch of warmth and light to the space.

The two half-rat, half-human rat-men flashed and dangled their long and narrow mouse eyes, gazing at the pitch-black passage ahead from time to time.

"You stay for a while, I'll go to make it easier." One of the rat people, who was touching his lower body, looked around and whispered to his companion next to him.

"Lazy people have a lot of **** and pee, hurry up!" Another rat man scolded, shaking a few residual beards at the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand to signal the other party to hurry up and get out.

After finishing speaking, he complained a little boredly: "Damn gnoll! It really picks the time to attack."

Just after the Rat Man finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Before he could take out his weapon, a strong arm covered his mouth.

Immediately in the red channel reflected by the torches, a sharp dagger slashed through a cold light, instantly slitting his throat.

The scarlet blood spurted out far away, and was still escaping. Thorne grabbed the Rat Man's neck hard, and didn't let go until the corpse stopped twitching.

Thorne was all too familiar with killing this kind of skinny rat man. Nearly 50 people from the dead rat gang were quietly killed one by one using his dark concealment ability.

But today is obviously not going to work, because he doesn't have that much time to waste here.

Then Thorne gently dragged the corpse away, leaving only a bloodstain covering the ground.

"Huh! Where's the human?" After a while, another rat came over, humming a little tune.

Seeing that there was no figure, he first looked around, and clearly felt that something was wrong. The Rat Man immediately alerted and pulled out the short sword around his waist, and slowly approached the front of the passage.

The strong smell of blood and the scarlet blood on the ground!

The Rat Man's face changed greatly, and he wanted to call someone when he opened his mouth.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Thorne appeared behind the Rat Man. He first lifted the Rat Man's chin with his hand, and the upper lip collided with the lower lip, making a clicking sound, and forcibly holding back the words he was about to shout. .

Then Thorne's dagger flashed a cold light again.

There were more and more bloodstains on the ground, and the rat people who were struggling frantically began to get smaller and smaller.

Target dies!

Gain 10 practice points through your understanding of battles!

...

Thorne gently put the corpse of the rat man on the ground, and the figure disappeared in a hazy shape again.

He has killed two Rat Men in a row. In this narrow sewer, the smell of blood is easy to spread, and the Rat Man's keen sense of smell will soon detect the abnormality.

This sewer space was once the den of the Dead Rats, who dug many habitable caves in the walls of the sewer.

One of the favorite things for these cunning, deceitful guys to do is change into human form and haunt the sleazy little bars and casinos down town.

In addition to stealing money and alcoholic beverages, the most important thing is to track the drunkards who are drunk on the street and drag them back to the nest to serve as the next day's ration.

Thorne didn't quite know where the rat-men had migrated from.

He had already wiped them all out, but after just over a month, the Rat Man appeared again.

Skaven cling to the sewers of large cities like parasites, knowing that they are weaker than most of the races that rule the surface.

So in order to survive, they feed on humans in the slums and steal their belongings.

Human sewers inadvertently protect the Rat People from both surface-dwelling creatures and creatures deeper below the surface.

From the footprints in the corner just now, Thorne can probably judge that there are at least ten ratmen and dire rats.

As for whether there are other places, Thorne is not clear for the time being, which is why he came to investigate alone.

If there are not many, he will clear them all directly. If there are too many, he will have to consider whether to abandon those players or make a strong charge. Of course, casualties cannot be avoided.

...

puff!

A sharp dagger pierced the heart from the Rat Man's back.

A rat man who sensed something was wrong due to the movement outside the cave, just got out of the cave, and was instantly killed by Thorne who was hiding in the dark.

Thorne gently put down the Rat Man's body and quietly approached the other caves of the Rat Man again.

This is already the eighth rat man that Thorne has killed,

He glanced at it just now, and found that there were at most a dozen rat people in this sewer space, and they were still within his range.

So Thorne decided to kill them all alone. After all, it was all experience, and he naturally didn't want to miss it.

At this moment, a bright fire and chaotic noise in a cave not far ahead caught Thorne's attention.

That location used to be the hall where the Dead Rat Gang used to gather. From the firelight and the faint voices of the Rat Men, Thorne judged that the Rat Men in the hall should be eating together.

So Thorne quietly touched it again.

Arriving near the hall, Thorne did not rush to attack, but chose to hide in the dark and look at everything in the hall.

Looking around, the most conspicuous thing was a roaring bonfire in the middle, which brightened the faces of every rat man inside, and at the same time, the stench attached to them continued to spread outward along with the smoke of the bonfire.

There are two dead human corpses near the bonfire, and two huge fierce rats are greedily gnawing away with their big mouths showing two sharp front teeth.

Six Rat and two Dire Rat, Thorne glanced and immediately confirmed the exact number in the hall.

Thorne hid not far away, and gently took out the compound longbow and an arrow behind him.

collapse!

The soft reverberation of the bowstrings did not attract the attention of the ratmen who were immersed in joy.

puff!

The arrow made a sound of breaking through the air, driving the air to suddenly appear from the darkness, and hit a vicious rat that was eating.

squeak...

The head of the vicious rat was instantly penetrated, screamed, and after a few struggles, it died.

In the face of the unexpected surprise, the rat people were just stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, pulling out their weapons or turning into giant rats and rushing out.

puff!

There was another sound of an arrow piercing flesh, and the last Dire Rat was killed by Thorne again.

Seeing that the rest of the Ratmen had all rushed over, Thorne sneered at the corner of his mouth, put away the composite longbow, and pulled out the double swords around his waist to meet him.

- "Awesome momentum!"

When the Rat Man was about to surround Thorne, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted around Thorne, which made a group of Rat Man tremble and almost lost their weapons.

puff!

The unusually sharp Dark Cinder Longsword was the first to disembowel the two Skaven closest to him.

Then the dagger in Thorne's left hand shook slightly.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame Star!”

In the dark night, a group of crimson flames danced on the dagger, and then suddenly burst, bursting with dazzling white light.

what!

The rat people who couldn't rub their hands covered their eyes and screamed, and then all of them subconsciously changed into giant rats and tried to escape.

Seeing that they wanted to run, Thorne snorted coldly, and a wooden holy emblem with a five-star paw print suddenly slipped out of the sleeve of his left hand.

A pale green light flickered slightly in the darkness.

——“One Ring of Divine Art: [Powerful] Entanglement Art!”

Thorne waved his left hand gently, and the nearby bryophyte seemed to feel a mysterious energy, and began to grow wildly, and then turned into a row of thorns covered with thorns to wrap around all the mice around.

Seeing that the remaining giant rats transformed from rat people were all entangled in vines, Thorne waved his two weapons and ended the battle with the screams of the giant rats.

"Go and tell your master that the danger has been lifted, let her bring someone here!" Thorne put away his weapon and said lightly to the empty mid-air.

As soon as the voice fell, a dark red little devil with flapping wings appeared. It looked at Thorne in surprise and disappeared into the darkness again.

the other side of the sewer.

Leaning against the wall and closing her eyes, Andrina suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then said lightly to everyone: "Let's go, the danger ahead has been lifted."

After speaking, he walked in first, and the troll Trundle immediately followed.
