Another Life: Elf Archer

When the explosion sounded, Niannian not only covered his ears, but also closed his eyes tightly. He cursed countless curses in his heart, deceiving himself into thinking that this would remove the narrow sliver of light on the system panel from his field of vision. Keep the blood bar.

Every year I tried hard to remember where my resurrection point was, and finally traced it back to the Gothic mansion in Usher, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be stunned! Come down and walk on your own!"

Amidst the urgent urging, Nian Nian opened her eyes and saw a strange-looking big crab with a drill in the dimly lit cave. The wound on her waist hurt. She looked down and found a metal clip that looked like a crab claw. He was grabbing his waist.

Nian Nian glanced around and saw Dulcinea and Xiao Xuehua, who were also captured. He was pleased to find that there were no new blood stains or wounds on Xiao Xuehua's body.

If the little snowflake she finally rescued was killed by the explosion, she would dismantle the big metal crab and eat it with vinegar.

The thing in front of me said it was a crab, but it didn't look like it, because apart from the four crab-claw-like mechanical legs, there were two tracks underneath the big drill bit that was as tall as a person.

As if feeling the years of observation, the crab claws put her on the ground. The four mechanical crab claws rotated and retracted, sticking to both sides of the drill bit. The two tracks were instantly flattened, and they made two squeaks, turning into two. A metal band surrounding the tail of a drill bit.

The drill bit facing Nian Nian split from the center and turned into two identical semi-cones. The cones were empty and the tips of the cones were indented layer by layer, gradually becoming smaller and thinner, and finally landed on the waist of a certain young dwarf. Suddenly, it buckled with a snap, like an ordinary metal belt.

Nian Nian took one look at her and said, "Friend, your waist is quite thin."

This metal belt was a palm-wide ring, which looked heavy and slightly thicker than the waist. It just stuck on the young boy's hip bones, barely preventing it from falling off.

"Leave quickly! Stay and wait to die!"

The man was so anxious that he stamped his feet, turned around and ran towards the darkness without looking back.

Looking back every year, he saw that there were still sand and rocks falling down from the entrance of the cave where they had just fallen. He stretched out his hand and pulled Dulcinea: "Let's follow him."

Dulcinea nodded, stood next to Little Snowflake, patted its neck affectionately, activated the watch-like mount space, and took Little Snowflake back into it.

Time in this mount's space is still flowing, which may allow Xiaoxuehua to recuperate and make it easier for her to carry and move around on daily basis.

The tunnel was not wide, and the giant hammer in her hand was in the way.

Dulcinea twisted the handle of the hammer, and the head of the giant hammer shrank and was fixed to the size of a cantaloupe. She took a few more steps across the year. While on guard, she quickly walked deeper into the tunnel and looked back from time to time to look at the situation behind her.

Although this stranger saved them, he still didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. She couldn't disarm yet, and she had to protect Nian Nian.

The tunnel was getting darker and darker. Fortunately, the people running in it all had night vision and did not care about this small difficulty. In just two or three minutes, Nian Nian and Dulcinea caught up with the dwarf who was running in front. They were friendly. said hello.

"Good Samaritan, I don't know your name yet?" asked Nian Nian.

"Lasso."

The dwarf replied breathlessly, holding the big ring on his waist with both hands, as if he wanted to relieve some burden on his hip bones.

"A good name, people live up to their names." Nian Nian praised sincerely.

Russo looked away awkwardly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hesitantly: "Didn't I come to save you?"

"Yes." Nian Nian nodded.

"Yes, thank you very much." Dulcinea continued.

"Thank you, it's okay."

Nian Nian's attitude was very sincere, but Lasuo became even more embarrassed. He leaned on the tunnel wall and lowered his head without saying a word, moving step by step.

"What's going on?" Dulcinea also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, grabbing the corner of Nian Nian's clothes.

"He was the one who plotted against us." Nian Nian smiled without lowering his voice.

"What?? Were you the one who almost killed Xiaoxuehua?" Dulcinea immediately jumped in front of Lasso, raised the pumpkin hammer in her hand and smashed it down.

"I did not do it on purpose!"

Rasuo raised his right arm and made a loud sound, and the sparks caused by the collision of metals flashed in the darkness.

"Hmph, you craftsmen are the most cunning and annoying!"

Dulcinea glared at Lasso's metal armguard and raised the hammer threateningly, causing Lasso to shrink his head and take a few steps back in a hurry.

"For the sake of you coming back to save us, I'll keep this account in mind for now!"

Dulcinea finished speaking viciously, snorted coldly and continued to move forward.

"She's cute, isn't she?"

Nian Nian crushed the magic arrows in his hand, looked at Dulcinea's angry back, and smiled at Lasso.

"Not at all."

Russo shrank his neck in fear, looking quite regretful.

"Did you dig this tunnel?" Nian Nian looked at the regular tunnel and raised his hand to touch the solid wall. "This doesn't look like a temporary project that was completed recently."

"I dug through the foundation of the city wall from outside the city. When I came in, I found that there was a ready-made tunnel here, which I could use just in time."

Russo was very honest and explained everything from beginning to end.

His task was to dig a tunnel from the outskirts of Cherbourg through the city wall and stand by under the city wall. If the explosion of the airship was not powerful enough to cause the wall to collapse, or the collapse effect was not as good as expected, another blast would be needed.

He is also the coordinator in the city, taking care of those——

"Why don't you say anything? Who will answer?" Nian Nian tilted his head and asked curiously, seemingly innocently.

"That's right, who is going to pick you up? I have to find those guys who are causing trouble and give Little Snowflake extra food!"

Dulcinea gritted her teeth.When Russo began to explain, she slowed down, waiting for the two of them to catch up.

"Little Snowflake is a carnivore?" Nian Nian was very surprised.

"Of course, unicorns are a type of beast." Dulcinea looked at Nian Nian suspiciously, "You don't know?"

"The unicorns in the Jesus Forest have long been extinct, and only some records remain."

Nian Nian shrugged and flipped through information, something that only Alexander liked to do. She was a practical person.

"Really?" Dulcinea scratched her head, "But the Holy Church said that the unicorns they have are imported from the Forest of Jesus."

"Poaching?" I changed the word every year.

"Probably not. I also met special breeders, all elves." Dulcinea shook her head.

"Elf..." Nian Nian murmured thoughtfully, "This is really interesting, but why is it a unicorn?"

Russo and Dulcinea looked at each other, neither of them knew how to answer this.

"That's all, let's talk about it later," Nian Nian changed the subject, "It's been 10 minutes and no guard has caught up."

After the words fell, a dull explosion sounded in the distance, and Nian Nian said clearly: "You are not afraid of blowing up this tunnel."

"An explosion with a soul can't go wrong!"

When this topic was mentioned, Russo's eyes suddenly sharpened and he spoke resolutely.

"Then you can play blasting under our feet? What if we accidentally injure someone?"

Dulcinea stared at him, raised the pumpkin hammer in her hand again, and nodded with deep understanding.

Lasso's momentum weakened, and then he scratched his neck and said: "Explosions with souls will not cause accidental damage!"

"Should you tell those innocent people on the airship?" Nian Nian glanced sideways and said calmly.

"Those are calculated casualties, not accidental injuries." Russo replied casually.

Nian Nian and Dulcinea stopped and stared at him without saying a word. After a while, Russo broke out in a cold sweat.

"Okay, okay, I admit that, that airship was also blown up by me..." Lasso's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally sounded a little crying.

"Don't be afraid, we won't eat you." Nian Nian patted his shoulder and comforted him quietly.

"Yes, Little Snowflake likes to eat fat meat, not iron lumps." Dulcinea answered with a kind smile.

Russo was on the verge of tears: "I really regret coming to save you."

......

Although careful calculation showed that Nian Nian and Dulcinea were plotted twice by this guy, but neither of them made it difficult for the dwarf player named Lasso during the rest of the journey.

They did not ask again whose advice Russo followed to blow up the airship and dig a tunnel, whose order he followed to plot against them, and what his psychology was behind saving them in the end.

After being anxious for a while, seeing that Nian Nian and the other two people had indeed let him go, Lasuo breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully:

"In that case, let's go our separate ways later, right?"

"Okay, but do you know where this tunnel leads to?" Nian Nian responded.

"I'm not sure, it should be somewhere outside the inner city," Russo explained. "The foundations of the inner city and the city wall of Cherbourg are very deep, but there is a gap between the foundation platform and the city wall. I think this tunnel It is cultivated in this gap.”

"So, this tunnel actually goes around the inner city of Cherbourg?"

Nian Nian estimated the time it would take them: "We came in from the northern suburbs, are we almost to the south now?"

"There is a mining area south of Cherbourg. There is an underground tunnel between the mining area and the inner city itself for transporting ore. Is this part of that tunnel?" Dulcinea guessed.

"It all depends on who dug the tunnel and what it was used for." Nian Nian looked forward and narrowed his eyes.

"There...seems to be an iron gate?" Dulcinea and Russo also saw the distinctive wall.

"Let's go."

Nian Nian flashed behind the two of them and said unceremoniously:

"I'll trouble you if I'm in danger. I don't have much health. I'll run away when I encounter an enemy. You can deal with it. I'm afraid of death."

"Okay, no problem, I'll take care of it!" Dulcinea patted her chest and vowed.

She finally had a chance to repay Nian Nian, and now she just wanted to rush up to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire for Nian Nian.

"You are weak, you can fall to death if you fall." Lasso muttered, but he also raised the mechanical arm, which seemed to be equipped with weapons.

"It didn't fall, it was blown up by you. You have to take responsibility." Nian Nian stood behind him and patted his head condescendingly.

Facing the dwarves who are as young as boys and girls, Nian Nian has a great height advantage.

"Impossible, my explosions are all accurately calculated, they are -"

"It has a soul." Nian Nian leisurely snatched away his words.

"As long as you know."

Russo walked forward depressedly, opened the iron door suddenly, and was hit by a group of black shadows.

In the tunnel, the pungent smell of blood suddenly became strong.
