Leader of the Ark Raiders

Her steps were very light, like a leopard waiting to be hunted.

"Smells of blood," Platinum said, his voice calm and cautious, "follow me."

The two walked forward slowly.

Only then did Shen Cangye realize that the ubiquitous birdsong in the dense forest had disappeared, leaving only deathly silence.

This means that there may be predators around.

What dangers are there in the forest?

beast?

Or... an Ursus soldier?

Shen Cangye stepped lightly, his hand was already on the dagger hanging on his left waist.

Turning around a bush, Bai Jin stopped abruptly.

The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, and when the front foot steps down, she has already drawn her bow like a full moon.

Almost at the same time, Shen Cangye heard the sound of the bowstring being tightened from the other side of the bush.

Shen Cangye stepped forward to push aside the bushes.

I saw the corpses of three unnamed beasts about ten meters away.

In the middle of those corpses sat a man.

33. The Forest of Elafia

It was an Elafia girl holding a crossbow.

This is judged from the small antlers on her head.

The girl with antlers has long dark golden hair. She is wearing a dark green coat with a dark green shirt inside and a white knitted vest embroidered with traditional Sami patterns.

But all of this is covered in mud at this moment.

The situation of the Elafia girl is a bit embarrassing.

She held the crossbow in her right hand and pointed it at Platinum, while her left hand was hanging limply, with blood on her cuff, she must have been wounded.

"Forest guard..." Shen Cangye subconsciously said.

Shen Cangye knew that this girl was also one of the people who should have become an operator of Rhodes Island.

But at this moment, she is not an operator of Rhodes Island, nor is she called Forest Watcher.

The Elafia girl frowned immediately when she heard the word "forester".

Her loaded crossbow turned to Shen Cangye immediately, "Who are you? Poachers?"

The deer's voice was hoarse, with an undetectable tremor.

"Put down your weapon." Platinum's voice was cold.

She took a step sideways and stood in front of Shen Cangye, "Otherwise I will penetrate your head first."

Shen Cangye looked down, and his heart shook slightly.

He understood the source of the bloody smell that Platinum said——

The girl with antlers has a bear trap in her left foot.

The blood had solidified, but it still oozes out from time to time, dripping into the ground.

The chain on the other side of the trap is connected into the ground, and that is why the hunter of the ranger is immobilized.

Perhaps it was precisely because she fell into a trap set by poachers that made her so hostile.

"You are injured." Shen Cangye said.

"It has nothing to do with you, hateful poacher!"

Shen Cangye's words immediately aroused an angry resistance from Elafia girl.

She was like a wounded little beast, she could only rely on the low growl from her throat to intimidate those predators who could easily tear herself apart.

Benedict!

A black arrow shot out from the string, and the next moment it appeared on the tree pole next to the antler girl.

It wasn't until the feather arrow made the sound of hitting the target that the few strands of blond hair cut off by the arrow on the forest guard's forehead slowly fell down.

"I said, put down the crossbow." There was a bit of chill in Bai Jin's voice, "Don't point your arrows at him!"

The knight killer took another arrow, and she took a step forward, exuding sharp killing intent all over her body, "You can't even pull the trigger now."

On the opposite side of the assassin, the Elafia girl is obviously strong in the outside world.

Due to blood loss, her forehead was covered with sweat, and the hand holding the crossbow was constantly shaking under the influence of the pain.

Holding the crossbow was only her last struggle.

She really can't even aim.

"Put down the arrow, Platinum." Shen Cangye said.

The Kuranta girl was obviously taken aback, "Why?"

Shen Cangye said: "If you don't put down your weapon first, I can't get close to her——she's injured."

"You don't want to help her, do you?" Platinum narrowed his eyes, "I advise you to give up your stupid and cute sympathy, she obviously doesn't need your help, her arrow can kill you!"

"No, put the arrow down." Shen Cangye insisted, "Listen to me this time, Platinum?"

The assassin glanced back at Shen Cangye, and reluctantly lowered his bow.

She stared coldly at the forest guard, "Listen, if you dare to touch him, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

Shen Cangye slowly approached the forest guard and said softly, "Don't worry, we are not poachers, we are just passing tourists."

"Well, tourists who feel the beauty of nature with bows and knives, don't trust us." Platinum added, his tone sour as if he had drunk lemon juice.

"Don't scare people." Shen Cangye glanced at the assassin.

Platinum's momentum collapsed, and he muttered "It's really sympathetic" in a low voice, and then fell silent.

Shen Cangye took out the prepared medicine box from the mountaineering bag he was carrying, and walked towards the forest guard.

The girl with antlers held the crossbow vigilantly, her gaze never leaving Shen Cangye's body for half a second.

"When did you get injured?" Shen Cangye asked.

The deer was silent.

Shen Cangye didn't expect her answer, and said to himself, "Your clothes are completely soaked, you should have been here last night, it's been so long, and if you drag it on, you'll get seriously infected."

He took a step forward slowly, "Let me treat the wound for you, can you?"

"Don't come near me!"

The forest guard was like a frightened little animal. In a panic, she pulled the trigger with all her strength.

Of course not aiming.

The arrow grazed Shen Cangye's cheek and cut off a few strands of hair.

"you--!"

Shen Cangye heard the sound of Kuranta Assassin pulling the string behind him, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop, "Wait, Platinum—"

He turned back to the ranger, "I mean no harm. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."

With that said, Shen Cangye opened his medicine box and showed the contents inside.

Immediately he put down his backpack and took off his coat, leaving only a single piece of clothing on his body.

He untied the dagger from his waist and threw it on the ground, "Look, I don't have a weapon."

Shen Cangye threw the dagger at the forest guard, "If you still feel uneasy, take this."

Bai Jin's resentful voice came from behind, "Doctor Shen, why don't you have such patience with me? You are always fierce..."

Shen Cangye smiled wryly, the girl with antlers in front of her didn't move, she didn't pick up the dagger on the ground, she just stared at the person in front of her with her bright eyes.

Shen Cangye approached slowly, walked in front of the forest guard, he half knelt down and lowered his head to check her injury.

The sharp serrated teeth of the trap almost completely pierced into the flesh, and it was unknown if she had hurt any bones. It was a miracle that she didn't pass out from the pain.

Shen Cangye tried to break the trap, and the Elafia girl gasped immediately, her body trembling with pain.

"Platinum, help me find tools to pry open the trap." Shen Cangye said humanely behind him.

"Well, why is it so troublesome! You are so interested in her..." Bai Jin pouted and rummaged through Shen Cangye's bag.

A few minutes later, Platinum threw a heavy object over.

"You brought this kind of thing with you when you came out to play?"

That was the multi-tool set that Shen Cangye carried in his bag.

"In order to knock you unconscious with the hammer on top when being pranked." Shen Cangye shrugged.

Bai Jin laughed again, "When I tied your shoelaces yesterday, you didn't do that, why? Reluctant?"

Shen Cangye glanced at Bai Jin. Seeing that the forest guard had no weapons, the latter had already put down his vigilance and leaned leisurely against the tree.

"If you say you are reluctant, then you are reluctant." Shen Cangye didn't intend to spend too much time talking with Bai Jin, and lowered his head to fiddle with the tools, but heard the low laughter of the Kuranta girl.

Shen Cangye had never been in contact with old-fashioned animal traps before. After observing for a long time, he finally figured out the structure of this trap facility and opened it.

34. Sign the labor contract first, thank you

Shen Cangye took off the trap, and watched the forest man again, her lower lip was bitten, her eyes were watery, but she insisted on not making a sound.

Shen Cangye cut off the stocking on the girl's leg with antlers, and skillfully cleaned the wound.

The trap was covered with rust, and Shen Cangye didn't carry the vaccine that needed to be refrigerated, so he left the wound open.

"Hand," Shen Cangye said, "Your hand is also injured, right?"

Xiaolu looked at Shen Cang, the doubt in his eyes had disappeared.

She hesitated for a few seconds, and finally just stretched out her hand obediently.

"How did you get injured?" Shen Cangye asked while cleaning the wound.

The Elafia girl lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "I was chasing a group of poachers, but I didn't catch them. I fell off the mountain over there, so..."

"Do you have any companions? Where are they?" Shen Cangye asked.

The forester struggled to make a swallowing movement, and she said: "The forester's village...it rained heavily last night, I'm afraid they couldn't come out to find me."

"Thirsty?" Thinking that the forest guard might not have eaten for a long time, Shen Cangye said, "Platinum, pass me the thermos next to my backpack."

"Huh!? Isn't that my caramel milk tea?"

"I'll do it for you next time."

The assassin slowly took out the thermos, with displeasure written all over his face.

Shen Cangye poured a cup of steaming milk tea and brought it to the mouth of the forest guard.

Xiaolu sniffed subconsciously, but timidly turned his gaze to the knight killer standing behind.

"Don't worry, that Kuranta has a sharp mouth, didn't you see that her arrow only hit the tree trunk?" Shen Cangye said to himself.

For a moment, the sound of teeth grinding came clearly.

"Shen, Cang, Ye!" Bai Jin said viciously, "I'll see you soon!"

The forest guard turned his gaze between the two in front of him before carefully taking a sip of the milk tea.

Then she reluctantly took the cup with her right hand and gulped it down.

Shen Cangye poured another glass, and the girl with antlers couldn't wait to drink it down again.

She was really thirsty and hungry.

Shen Cangye inexplicably felt like feeding baby deer in the zoo, "It's okay, drink more, you need to replenish some energy."

After a while, Shen Cangye thought for a while and said, "This kind of drink actually has no effect on replenishing electrolytes. I still have to take her to the hospital to get some salt water."
