Another Life: Elf Archer

"bluff."

Four words floated down from the tree behind Nian Nian and reached Nian Nian's ears.

Nian Nian cursed Simil's nagging today. Fortunately, this person knew how to lower his voice, basically ensuring that only she could hear it among the creatures present...?

His expression remained unchanged every year, and he still looked at the giant gray wolf not far ahead with the same smile.

There were still blood drops dripping down from the belly of the giant gray wolf. Originally they could be connected into a small string, but gradually others could only see a few full blood drops slowly seeping out and falling onto the grass blades with a clatter.

The wound is already healing.

Not only did they see it every year, but Zimo and others could also tell that the wound on the wolf's abdomen was probably almost healed and gone.

Several people looked at Nian Nian in confusion, as if asking her why she didn't hide in the tree and kill the wolf in a sneak attack, but she decided to jump out and expose herself.

"Your arrows will not be endless," the giant gray wolf said, facing Nian Nian, "your people will die more before you kill me."

A slight smile and willingness to speak every year is a good sign.

Her right hand has been holding a bone-white arrow in the quiver on her waist, but under the cover of her cloak, others will only see her standing with one hand holding her waist, arrogant and proud.

"Although my arrows are not endless," Niannian pointed upward with his finger, "I do have help. And -"

"My people?" Nian Nian glanced at the surrounding creatures. "My people are still in the tree. These people have nothing to do with me."

The giant gray wolf twisted its neck. It remembered that the man who scratched its eye with a knife had also said that the people in the tree had nothing to do with them.

So are they really two people who have nothing to do with each other?

"Then why did you save their people so many times?" Zimo alone was rescued twice every year, not to mention his brothers who were protected by the ice wall, and the first dog in danger from the wolf's mouth. bud.

"It's easy!" Nian Nian shrugged, "We are all on the same road after all. Why not save him if he can?"

"If you had left here alone at that time, I would not have chased you, nor would I have ordered my tribe to chase you." The giant gray wolf spoke again, still questioning the motive of Nian Nian's attack.

"I know, but in that case," Nian Nian raised his right hand to cover his chest, making a look of heartache, "my conscience might be a little depressed."

As her right hand was raised, there was also a white bone arrow in her hand.

When Nian Nian exposed her right hand from the cloak, the giant gray wolf's eyes were focused on the slender bone-white arrow in her hand, with a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.

"Hey, don't use this indiscriminately!" Simil's voice quietly reached Nian Nian's ears again, "There are too many people seeing it and we can't explain it. If you don't want to be treated as a bug, don't do it." Use those two kinds of arrows in front of people!"

……

Nian Nian really wants to fly up with an arrow and shoot down Simir. She is not sure whether these demon wolves will hear Simir's words. If these words are heard, how can she use force to deter them?

"Don't worry, no one can hear me except you." Perhaps feeling the resentment he felt year after year, Simil added quietly, "You haven't seen such monsters, have you? These are childish ghosts and wolves. They sound like cubs and move like ghosts. The people of Zimo are quite lucky. These demon wolves must have been looking for food, so they are interested in playing tricks on them."

"Speaking of which, why are you attacking these people?" Nian Nian, who got some information, asked, "Don't you look like you are hungry and want to eat?"

The recent experience of dealing with the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer, as well as the tragic consequences of making wild guesses, taught Nian Nian a very important communication principle - especially when communicating with these monsters - that is, speak directly. explain.

Rather than guessing, it's better to just ask.

Sure enough, the giant wolf was very accustomed to this communication style every year, and he answered unambiguously: "We are just patrolling the territory on a routine basis. We will naturally expel unfamiliar faces when we see them."

"Expulsion?" Zimo couldn't help but said, "You wanted to leave half of us to make rations for you!"

"Of course you have to pay tolls when traveling through our territory." The giant wolf also turned his head and looked at Zimo, "I thought you humans would be familiar with this situation."

Zimo, who had already decided to devote himself to the banditry business, was speechless. After all, he had already killed more than a dozen groups of players who entered the mountain under the pretext of collecting "tolls".

Is this retribution?Zimo didn't want to admit this.

Nian Nian also thought that Zimo's Prisoner Dragon Village seemed to have some bad records. He shook his head and said, "Those who kill people will always be killed."

As Nian Nian said these words, a series of sounds of ice cubes breaking were heard. Six men with knives ran over in a few steps and joined the people here:

"The ice walls on both sides are going to collapse! Do you want to let that person again-"

The six of them suddenly saw the years of leisure and swallowed back the words that followed.

"Look," Nian Nian spread his hands towards the giant gray wolf, "They don't even know my name. I'm really just doing something brave."

More than 50 demon wolves quietly approached Nian Nian and Zimo's group, and silently surrounded their leader. If they hadn't heard the sound of the grass being stirred, even Nian Nian wouldn't have noticed them. move.

"In that case, you can take your people and leave." The giant gray wolf knelt on the ground, seemingly not planning to take action rashly, "but those who have nothing to do with you must stay."

The wolves behind the giant gray wolf also sat down, just looking at Zimo and others with eager eyes, with no intention of giving their attention to Nian Nian, even though Nian Nian was the one who really killed him. A companion of one of them.

Except for the unlucky wolf who was hit in the back of the head by an arrow every year, most of the remaining wolves were injured. Although there were minor injuries and serious injuries, none of them were fatal.

"Thank you." Niannian answered with two words very respectfully, and then asked a question, "Then what will happen before you are willing to let these people go?"

"No need to worry, I'm just collecting routine tolls."

Nian Nian turned his head and looked at Zimo and asked, "Why don't you just pay the fee?"

"What to pay for?" Zimo's face looked unhappy, "Gold and silver? Magical weapons? Clothes and shoes? Or human life?"

Every year I ask the giant gray wolf again: "Do you like anything else?"

The giant gray wolf's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered something.

It stood up and walked slowly in the direction of Nian Nian. It stopped more than five meters away from Nian Nian. It looked at the somewhat wary Nian Nian and asked:

"Is Yu Tao okay now?"
