Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 344: hunting ritual

Under the bleak moonlight, the cold night wind blew by, the branches and leaves of the trees swayed in the wind, making bursts of rustling noises, and all kinds of small insects were unwilling to chirp among the flowers, trees and grass roots, endlessly.

At this time, near the Emerald Tower, with the surging light of the array, a dozen ferocious figures under the moonlight appeared instantly.

"Ow!"

What followed was the howl of the gnoll.

This horrific roar was like a symptom, and all kinds of wild roars sounded near the Emerald Tower.

These strange sounds are very mixed, whispering, roaring, screaming and even human laughter and crazy shouting, they all combined together and resounded throughout the town of Falls.

Twelve floors of the tower.

"They have come." Andrina listened to the creepy roar, looked at the ferocious figures in the crystal ball, and a magic light floated in her hand. start up.

Then Andrina came back to her senses and looked worriedly at the goblin wizard Malvasa opposite: "Three Tier 4 hunters, all other occupation levels have reached Tier 3."

"Then put them all in." Hearing Andrina's report, Malvasia's pale red eyes hidden under the brim gradually brightened, and then she instructed the communication circle beside her:

"Vek's, control the protective energy of the tower gate. You can't let them break in so easily, but you can't make it too difficult for them to get in, so as not to scare them away."

"Wick's got it!"

The teleportation circle flickered, and the voice of the mind flayer Vel'Koz, who was guarding the element pool, floated out.

"Thorn, the enemy has arrived at the gate of the tower, get ready for battle." Then, Malvasia instructed the communication circle again.

"Thorn received!" A simple reply from Thorne came from the communication circle.

"Is this really okay?" Seeing that everything was ready, Andrina finally couldn't help but ask her worries.

After all, three of the hunters this time have reached the Paragon, and the four of them, in addition to the towers that can provide defense, only Thorne can barely resist.

Therefore, she was a little uneasy in her heart, if she failed tonight, what unimaginable consequences would occur.

"Whether it can be successful or not depends on whether Thorne's two swords are sharp enough." Malvasa glanced at the picture of the crystal ball, sighed slightly, and smiled and comforted:

"You can just deal with the enemy with peace of mind. Don't cause Thorne to fall into a fatal crisis because of your distractions and mistakes. After all, the pressure he faces is the greatest, and we must not make any mistakes here."

"I see." Thinking of Thorne, Andrina seemed to recall something. She reached out and stroked the strands of her hair, and the corner of her mouth involuntarily raised a sweet smile, and then nodded lightly.

near the gate of the tower.

A thin old man leaning on crutches and covered in black robes walked to the gate of the tower, surrounded by many hunters.

"Why don't we choose to directly destroy the entire tower?" The boar man carrying the big hammer walked to the old man's side, looked at the towering emerald tower, and expressed his doubts.

He believes that if the entire tower is cut off at the middle, they will not break into the interior of the tower so laboriously.

The thin old man's cloudy eyes looked at the boar like an idiot, and said lightly, "Then go and smash this gate open."

The Rat Man standing beside the old man heard his instructions, and a playful flash flashed in the rat eyes of the Boar Man.

"Okay!" The boar replied happily, then walked to the gate with the two long-handled fine iron hammers in his hands.

"Break it to me!"

The wild boar roared, and two steaming white air spewed out of the huge pig nose. I saw his whole body's explosive muscles contracted suddenly, and two basketball-sized fine steel hammers slammed towards the door with unmatched momentum. up.

"Bang! Bang!"

However, just as the two whistling hammers were about to approach the gate, they were suddenly blocked by an almost invisible force field barrier. Following two dull sounds, the splashed force field barrier suddenly burst into two turbulent waves. The wave of air directly responded to the wild boar with the most vicious counterattack.

"boom!"

Two turbulent air waves slammed into the wild boar man with a thunderous force.

The sturdy, giant-like boar threw his long-handled hammer out of his hand, and with a wailing sound, he drew a perfect parabola and fell into the spiky brambles near the tower.

The two hunters immediately ran over to help the wailing wild boar.

The skinny old man ignored the moaning boar man, but leaned on crutches and accompanied by the rat man, walked to the gate, stretched out his withered left hand, gently stroked the almost invisible protective force field, and muttered to himself. Said: "It turns out that it is a barrier to rebound."

"boom!"

Then, the crutches in the thin old man's hand gently smashed towards the ground, and an invisible magic light instantly hit the protective barrier of the gate.

"Crack!"

This continued for a while, and with a faint sound, the protective barrier of the gate shattered.

"It seems that such a rough technique is nothing more than that." The thin old man took a breath, glanced at the door disdainfully, and whispered to himself.

"Pig's head, the gate's rebound barrier has been lifted by the blood master, do you still want to try its hardness?" Noticing the abnormality of the gate, the Rat Man who was playing with the dagger lit up and smiled at the wild boar that was still bleeding from the corner of his mouth. said the man.

"Very good!" The boar man grinned and responded to the rat man's ridicule with his own actions.

"Bang! Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, the long-handled iron hammer in the hands of the wild boar smashed the gate of the middle tower again, and in this deafening loud noise, bursts of dazzling sparks erupted.

However, it did not leave any traces on the dark cyan gate. Instead, it directly responded to the attacker with two lightning bolts jumping with dark purple arcs.

Two thumb-sized lightning strikes precisely hit the stunned Boar, and the jumping arc quickly spread to the burly body of the Boar.

"what!!!"

A pig-like roar resounded again.

"Om!"

Seeing this, the skinny old man pointed at the boar with the crutch in his hand. Under the influence of the spell, the crackling arc disappeared without a trace.

"This is a hunting ritual in response to my lord, don't overplay it." The thin old man gave the smiling rat man a cold look, and said lightly, "Go and remove all the magic traps on the gate."

"Yes!"

The grinning Rat Man noticed the lanky old man Sen Han's gaze, and the long and narrow Rat's eyes shrank abruptly, and immediately walked honestly towards the gate of the tower.

A group of hunters all stood there patiently, watching the Rat Man's nimble hands clink on the gate.

This continued for a while, and the Rat Man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and made a gesture of getting it done.

"Don't move! Let me smash the gate!" The gray-faced boar man took heavy steps and walked up again.

"It's a magic brick that has been warmed by energy. You can't break it. Don't waste your efforts." The thin old man's voice was very soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The wild boar who was eager to try heard the old man's unquestionable words and immediately calmed down.

"Boom!"

With the activation of the Rat Man, the gate of the tower slowly rose with a dull loud noise.

The pitch-black interior space also caught the sight of all hunters.

The skinny old man turned his attention to the Rat Man.

The Rat Man understood, turned into a shadow, and disappeared into the deep darkness of the tower.

after awhile.

"Let's go."

The thin old man's turbid eyes flashed a bright light, and then he left a sentence and walked in first.

So all the hunters followed the old man's footsteps and walked in.

"Boom!"

When the last gnoll entered the tower, the gate closed again with a dull loud noise.

The back road was suddenly blocked, and all the hunters cast their scarlet eyes on the skinny old man.

"Hunters of Mara, welcome to the Emerald Tower in Waterfall Town, I wish you a happy hunt tonight!" Suddenly, at the entrance of the spiral staircase on the first floor of the tower, a man shrouded in a black cloak appeared. silhouette.

As soon as the voice fell, a holy emblem engraved with a five-star paw print in the black shadow's hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light in the deep darkness, dazzling the eyes.

"Guilun's believers, you will soon taste the fear of being a prey. With a stalker of the way of silence as a sacrifice, and all the people in the town of waterfalls as a foil, you will surely usher in the best of my lord. A great gift."

The thin old man noticed the red light emanating from the skull artifact engraved with oozing claws in his hand. He quietly watched the dark shadow that appeared, and evoked a cold smile.

"Then I look forward to your challenge at any time, I hope I won't let me down."

Just when the skinny old man was about to make a move, the black shadow that suddenly appeared twisted a bit, left a sentence, and disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow in the darkness twisted again, and the Rat Man waving two daggers with flickering cold light appeared where the shadow disappeared.

Unfortunately, the target has long since disappeared, so this sneak attack was doomed to be futile.

"Prepare for the ceremony!" Seeing the disappearance of Gui Lun's followers, the skinny old man slammed his crutch **** the ground and said solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, these hunters with conservative strength above the third rank all scattered and formed a strange formation.

With all kinds of strange howls echoing in the hall, all the hunters raised their sharp blades or sharp claws and drew blood on their hideous cheeks.

Drops of scarlet blood slowly slid down the sides of all the hunters.

Afterwards, they all knelt down on one knee, with pious and bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, chanted in unison the blood song praising Mara, the **** of hunting, and began to pray.

Hunting Ceremony!

It starts at this moment...
