The bleak lonely moon hangs high in the night sky, and the cold moonlight pours down.

Inside the dense forest of tranquility.

Two black goblins and two hobgoblins with blood-red stripes on their faces flew between the trees.

These two goblins are different from the goblins of the Emerald Fields, they are more vigorous and more dangerous, and they are all wearing exquisite leather armor sewn from the hide of some kind of black beast.

Although they did not carry weapons, the sharp claws of the goblins were replaced by metal claws made of some kind of adamantine.

Moreover, their shoulder pads and wrist pads were also dotted with sturdy metal spikes, and under the bleak moonlight, the luster of mithril appeared unexpectedly.

Behind the two bear goblins, the two figures who were a few steps behind were two very strong goblins.

The two hobgoblin warriors were covered in light silver-gray armor that did not glow in the moonlight, and the exposed hair was scarlet the color of hell.

A hobgoblin with blood-red wings on his back did not carry any equipment except for a shimmering amulet in his hand.

The other Hobgoblin was holding a jet-black composite longbow, and the quiver fixed behind him was full of sharp arrows.

These four figures shuttled through the woods like phantoms, often passing by in the blink of an eye, and it was almost difficult for the naked eye to capture their traces.

"stop!"

Suddenly, the two-winged goblin flapped his wings and accelerated to fly in front of the two bear goblins, shouting to stop everyone's footsteps.

Then he looked at the dim amulet in his hand, frowned and said, "The position of the ranger has disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Another Hobgoblin holding a compound longbow stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Captain, how could his position suddenly disappear."

The item the high priest gave them was not a simple talisman, but a magic equipment that could be tracked.

As long as you find items or things related to the tracked person, you can accurately lock the enemy's position under the drive of magic until you are killed.

The five-star paw print pattern that the half-elf ranger left on the ground is the best tracking medium.

So even if the ranger's position is not so precise, they can roughly judge the opponent's travel route, and then gradually shrink the range until it is forced out.

"The reason the position disappeared is because the ranger stopped moving, which means that the other party must be hiding somewhere nearby."

The Hobgoblin captain looked at the amulet in his hand and gently flapped the wings behind him, his expression becoming more solemn than ever.

At this time, he finally took back his contempt for the Ranger and began to take the hunt seriously.

After all, a second-order ranger can disturb the camp outside the Heruk Hobgoblin, and the legion commanders have nothing to do with it, and finally have to turn to the Temple of the Almighty for help.

I have to say that this Ranger is very strong.

Moreover, he also successfully forced the four of them into a very passive situation.

Captain Hobgoblin can tell himself with certainty that the prey they are tracking is definitely hidden in a dark corner nearby, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

The bravery and fearlessness of the ranger deserves his praise.

Just don't know if the opponent's strength can be as strong as his fearless courage, Captain Hobgoblin thought to himself.

"What should we do? We are very passive." The goblin holding a compound longbow glanced at the two vigilant bear goblins behind him, and whispered to the captain beside him.

"The safest way is to stay where you are and wait for the arrival of the high priest." Captain Hobgoblin replied.

As long as the rangers hiding nearby don't move, they can't find each other's location, but again, the ranger can't escape.

Therefore, they only need to wait until the high priest arrives and cast the detection magic, and they can instantly detect the position of the ranger, and then launch a thunder strike.

A second-order ranger even let them dispatch such a luxurious lineup, even if they die, it is a commendable thing, the Hobgoblin captain thought to himself, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily evoked a strange sneer.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

Suddenly, the bushes not far away shook.

The vigilant four were instantly attracted.

"Don't move, it's just a crude method for the enemy to attract our attention. When we really go over to check, a sharp blade is likely to be stabbed from other places." Captain Hobgoblin sneered, signaling everyone not to act rashly.

Because this old-fashioned method is left to him to play.

Obviously, the ranger has begun to lose his temper, after all, all they need to do is wait for the arrival of the high priest.

So, following the instructions of the hobgoblin captain, the two goblins and the other hobgoblin did not care about the swaying grass not far away, but turned their vigilant eyes to other places, trying to judge the impatient Where on earth would the ranger strike from?

Just as a goblin bear turned around, a fiery flame suddenly erupted from the swaying grass behind him.

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

Immediately afterwards, a half-elf with flaming wings on his back waved his two double swords surrounded by flaming flames and charged forward in an instant.

"Pfft!"

The two sharp blades slammed into the back of the goblin bear who was caught off guard, and then, under the violent stirring of the half-elf, the blades left two long, narrow scars that were deeply visible to the bone.

The goblin bear wailed in pain, and he clearly felt that his heart was shattered by this scorching blade, so he was helpless.

He could only lock his two scarlet pupils on the figure of Captain Hobgoblin before he died.

If there is no reminder from the captain, he will definitely be alert to the shaking grass, and even walk over to check, so that he will not be the first to die in humiliation, this is the last thought of the goblin bear when he is dying.

The moment the bright fire flickered at night, everyone immediately reacted.

However, by the time they turned around, the goblin bear's corpse had tumbled slowly into the grass.

"Roar!"

The other goblin bear who was closest to him roared first, raised the sharp gold claws that flickered with cold light, turned into a black shadow, and appeared in front of Thorne in an instant.

- "Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Dragon Flame!"

Looking at the sharp claws that were about to slash into the face and into the abdomen, Thorne, who had been prepared for a long time, took a big step backwards, followed by a roaring flame like the breath of a dragon bursting out. Enraged goblins engulfed and ignited a raging fire.

In the dense forest of tranquility, a fireman with flames all over his body danced a tumbling dance to the accompaniment of mournful and mournful accompaniment.

He wasn't dead yet, just the dark hair on his body was ignited.

Thorne was about to pursue the supplementary knife, and suddenly noticed the echo of the bowstring and the whistling of the air, and a fatal crisis was approaching.

I saw his expression suddenly change, raising Mo Feng in his right hand, and slashing forward like lightning, a sharp arrow fell in response.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne's head twisted sharply, and the second arrow stabbed directly, leaving a hole in the hood he was wearing on his head.

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

Thorne didn't care about the bloodstain on his face that was cut by the sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air. With a move of his mind, his entire body disappeared without a trace.

"Boom!"

A high-temperature fireball erupted with fiery light and a loud noise where Thorne disappeared.

"careful!"

The Hobgoblin captain noticed the fireball escaped by the ranger and the disappearing figure of the enemy, and immediately reminded the fellow Hobgoblin who was holding a composite longbow not far away.

As soon as the Hobgoblin captain's voice fell, Thorne's figure appeared strangely behind him, and the two sharp blades flashed a deadly cold light under the cold moonlight.

Captain Hobgoblin's expression suddenly changed. Obviously, he did not expect that the target of the ranger's attack was himself.

- "Seven Rings Magic: Evil Gaze!"

Just when Thorne was about to kill Captain Hobgoblin, a mysterious force suddenly flooded his body, so that his movements began to stiffen.

——“Soul Soul School (Coping Skill): Perfect Spirit!”

Thorne, who was aware of the bad situation, saw a Hobgoblin covered in black robes who appeared not far away at some point, so he did not dare to delay, and immediately launched the Steel Soul Sect's countermeasures to resist.

Will saving throw in progress...

Will save succeeded!

You have successfully avoided the paralyzing effect of Evil Gaze!

Evil Gaze has no effect on you!

...

Just as Thorne was stunned, the Hobgoblin captain who reacted immediately moved away from his attack range.

At the same time, a large fireball also condensed in the palm of the Hobgoblin captain.

——“Three Rings Magic: Flame of Darkness!”

Although the black-robed hobgoblin who suddenly appeared was shocked that the half-elf ranger was able to avoid his magic, the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and a black flame flashing in the shadows soon appeared in His palms were condensed and formed.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Stance Skill): Fire Avoidance Technique!”

Seeing two fireballs, one black and one red, approaching in an instant, Thorne, who has the proficient level of "reflection dodge", rolled on the spot and dodged, and his whole body was also covered by a protective barrier against fire damage.

"Boom!"

The dark red fireball exploded next to Thorne first. With the blessing of "Blood of Flame" and "Fire Avoidance Technique", although the flame did not cause any damage to him, the loud explosion shocked his ears. make a noise.

"Whizzing!"

Immediately afterwards, Thorne rolled on the ground again, and the two sharp arrows sank deeply into his previous position. Just as he was about to get up and flee, there was a burning pain in his chest.

He glanced subconsciously and found that the flames filled with negative energy had been deeply imprinted on his chest.

He was all too familiar with this kind of injury.

Once in Talan Village, he was tortured to death by the flames cast by Mara's followers, so much so that he had to scrape the eroded flesh with a sharp dagger bit by bit.

"Roar!"

At the moment when Thorne was stunned, the flames had been extinguished, and the bear goblin, who had become naked, roared, exposing two sharp yellow teeth in his mouth and pounced towards Thorne on the ground.

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

Thorne's thoughts moved, and his body disappeared 20 meters away in an instant in the shadows.

The moment Thorne landed, the black-robed gnome who had finished preparing for the divine art looked at the figure of the Ranger, and the axe and blade holy emblem in his hand calmly pointed to his embarrassed figure.

——"Six Rings Magic: Frost Blossom"

Within the range where Thorne stood, dense solid ice thorns condensed under all the soil, and suddenly erupted from the surface, and the ejected ice thorns and gravel all enveloped Thorne's body.

"Pfft!"

Thorne, who responded in a timely manner, once again forcibly activated the teleportation technique of the Shadow Hand School at the moment when the two ice thorns stabbed the soles of his feet and thighs, disappeared on the land covered by the icicles, and ran towards the direction of the Merikai Temple.

"He can't run very far, catch up!" The black-robed Hobgoblin took the tracking amulet handed over by the Hobgoblin captain, and a group of four chased in the direction of Thorne's escape.

"Roar!"

Seeing the companion animal, Thorne rode on his back without hesitation, and quickly flew through the jungle with the low roar of the dragon beast.

However, he didn't go far when he found two familiar figures wandering among the trees.

Thorne, with a dignified expression, was slightly startled, and immediately signaled the Fulong Beast to fly to the two of them quickly.
