Ranger Legend of Azeroth

v2 Chapter 1: Footsteps echo in the dark

In the middle of the night, in the dark forest, everything is silent.

In the dark night sky, the full moon has quietly slipped into the clouds tiredly, only revealing a little bit of faint light that is not obvious.

In the night sky thousands of miles away from the clouds, countless stars like children's eyes blinked curiously with their ever-curious and clear eyes, and looked at the earth that seemed unusually deep in the darkness.

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter…

In the darkness, at the end of the bluestone path, there was a faint and rhythmic sound of leather boots hitting the ground. The sound is approaching from far away, gradually getting louder and getting closer.

A moment later, a black fuzzy figure stepped out from the corner of the woods on the bluestone path. It was too dark to see the appearance of the person who came, but it was absolutely certain that the person who came was a woman.

Under the dim starlight, this black figure showed a tall figure and a perfectly proportioned silhouette, which easily reminded people of an extremely beautiful woman.

The black shadow walked out of the woods, and suddenly stopped at the corner of the path paved with bluestone slabs. Obviously, she seemed to be beginning to feel that something was not quite right here. She turned her head suspiciously and looked around, but found no danger.

Sombra frowned, something really wasn't quite right here. Since walking on this bluestone path, the insects on both sides of the road have always been loud or small.

The chirping of these unknown insects is like a love song belonging to the dark forest night, and only when I pass by, those little insects will stop singing from time to time.

However, after turning this corner, there was not even a single bug chirping in the place ahead, it was so quiet. It was eerily quiet and uncomfortable.

Seeing that the figures coming out stopped, in the shadow of the jungle on both sides of the bluestone path, a dozen or so black figures in black cloaks moved slightly, and soon they all lowered their bodies even lower, like a dozen or so black shadows. The stone was motionless.

"Could it be that I'm suspicious?" Shaqier stopped to observe for a while, and said to himself.

This is already the core area of ​​the dark forest, not very far from the settlement of the dark elves. Because Shaqier doesn't like crowded places, she moved to a place a little farther from the village. Although this place is a little far from the village of the dark elves, it is also the core area of ​​a dark forest, so it should be quite safe.

Because the edge of the dark forest is often patrolled by dark elf patrols, it is impossible for human slave catchers to come here to capture elves, and it has never been heard that there are human slave catchers who can enter the core of the dark forest .

"It seems that my paranoia has been committed again!" Shaqier laughed at himself, and started to walk forward while talking.

Shaqier is a candidate priest of the Black Temple, but also a captain of the Black Temple Guards.

The Dark Temple garrison not only guards the Dark Temple, but also patrols the core of the Dark Forest. When necessary, the Dark Temple Guard will even patrol the periphery of the Dark Forest with other elves under the control of the Dark Elf Queen. .

Generally speaking, though, Dark Temple troops usually patrol the dark elf heartlands, such as in cities or around villages. Most of the troops led by the Dark Elf Queen are responsible for patrolling and guarding the periphery of the Dark Elf, because they are responsible for the safety of the entire Dark Elf group.

The dark elf kingdom in the dark forest can only be regarded as a small principality compared to the human kingdom. Because the population of the dark elves is not very large, not even their compatriots from long ago, a third of the population of the moon elves. Except for the capital, Tenaris, which is a large city, the other dark elf settlements are villages.

Shaqier is the captain of the temple guard of the Dark Temple in a nearby elven village, and also a candidate priest in the main temple of Terenas in the capital, and this path paved with bluestone slabs is also one of the routes she often leads patrols.

This bluestone slab was paved with a path, one end leading to the nearby dark elf village, and the other end reaching the vicinity of her residence.

Tonight she had just finished changing posts with her teammates and was going back to her residence to rest, but for some reason tonight, she always felt restless tonight. Ever since I came to this corner, this feeling has become more intense, and I always feel as if something bad is about to happen.

Although she has always felt restless, she has no idea what caused her restlessness. It was also because she felt restless that she stopped at the corner.

It's just that after she didn't find anything abnormal, she could only laugh at herself for being suspicious. Shaqier laughed at himself, never thought that if he walked alone on this extremely familiar road, he would have a day of fear.

Shaqier relaxed his guard and continued to walk along the bluestone path.

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter…

In the silence, the slight but rhythmic sound of the little leather boots hitting the bluestone slab sounded again.

The sound got closer and closer, and Shakier's blurred figure became clearer and clearer.

Dark purple flowing long hair was draped behind her, and a few strands of hair around her long ears fluttered gently against the cool night wind as she walked. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The eyes are as beautiful as autumn water, it always looks around the road. If it wasn't for the nervousness in her eyes, then she must be looking forward to it!

Maybe it's because of nervousness, maybe it's because of walking a lot. On Shaqier's creamy white face, traces of crystal clear sweat could be faintly seen. The cool night breeze could only take away the fragrance from her body, but it couldn't help her wipe off the crystal-like crystal.

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter…

The sound of lonely footsteps echoed in the darkness.

Suddenly, the leaves on a big tree above Shaqier's head rustled in a rush, breaking the tranquility of the night. The urgent and chaotic sound of the leaves is like a grumpy beast crippling on it, and the frantic rustling of the leaves is like they are wailing in pain.

Shaqier looked up nervously, and at the same time, his right hand quickly grasped the handle of the single knife hanging at his waist, and quickly assumed a defensive posture.

In the core area of ​​the dark forest, although no human slave hunting team has ever appeared. But it doesn't mean that the core area of ​​the dark forest is not at all dangerous.

If there is a forest, there will be beasts, and if there are beasts, there will be danger. The Dark Forest is just a forest in the jungle of the Apatis Mountains. Beasts from outside will often break into the Dark Forest, threatening the safety of Dark Elf civilians and children. That's why, in the core area of ​​the dark forest, the garrison of the dark temple is also patrolling.

But this time, what Shaqier saw was not a grumpy beast, but a huge net that covered the sky and covered the sky.
