Chapter 287 When colleagues meet, they are extremely jealous
…
A wood elf is riding on the back of the white tiger.
She was wearing the leather armor of the Wind Chaser and was holding a long bow in her hand. The quiver on her back was already empty, and her exposed thighs also had a few scars.
"This is Yue Yao among the Wind Chasers!"
Relevant knowledge quickly emerged in Matthew's mind.
The Wind Chasers are the troops of Jade Cangting who are responsible for conducting external battles, maintaining peace in the territory, and resolving conflicts in the fringe areas.
Yueyao is a very special elite among the Wind Chasers. They are composed of rangers and scouts. They spend at least two-thirds of the time wandering on the edge of the territory throughout the year. Their main job is to arrest stowaways and human traffickers.
, monitoring the movements of evil forces around the forest can be said to be very hard.
The man riding a white tiger, Yue Yaoyi, appeared.
Two more similarly dressed rangers jumped out of the jungle behind her.
It's just that their grades are obviously lower than the elf women on the white tiger's back.
The mounts under his crotch were just two bobcats that looked panicked.
These three elves are obviously being hunted.
But as soon as the leader of Yueyao saw the shadows of Matthew and the others, he immediately patted the white tiger's neck and ordered sternly:
"I'll lure the enemy away!"
"You take those innocent people away first!"
The remaining two Yue Yao did not hesitate.
They directly carried out the order of the white tiger elf and ran towards Matthew and the others at extremely fast speeds.
And in the process of running.
Leader Yueyao turned around and looked at their path with a serious expression.
At this moment, a wolf howled!
Everyone who heard this howl couldn't help but get a lot of goosebumps.
Immediately afterwards.
An extremely huge beast roughly knocked through the bushes and some low trees.
They surrounded the leader Mingyue Yao!
Frost Winter Wolf!
Matthew's eyelids twitched. This was a giant beast active on the Yunshang Plateau. The average height of each individual was more than two meters, and its body length was more than four meters. It had very terrifying hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
The swarm level of Frost Winter Wolves is level 20.
This is a terrifying existence that may choose to retreat even if it encounters a giant dragon of the same level!
"Should we start a war!?"
Although Matthew was ready to fight, he still asked Carmela for her opinion before doing so.
After all, this is Carmela's territory, and she is leading this trip.
Listen to whoever leads the way.
This is one of the basic terms of the underground alliance contract.
"Of course you can't just ignore it."
Carmela's voice sounded in the hearts of the two of them:
"But as long as I take action alone, don't expose yourselves and remember to disguise yourself."
"Never show your strong fighting power!"
Luo Lan smiled slightly:
"Poets don't need to pretend, I'm not good at fighting."
"Let me see what I can do... Well, let me play the flute for you to entertain you!"
Matthew looked at him with some confusion.
The latter happily took out a brown instrument from his waist. This instrument was somewhat similar to the green piccolo he was accustomed to before, but there were many differences in details.
"This is my new musical instrument. It is said to have originated from the Soviet Union."
As Luo Lan spoke, he started to show off.
Now that we have agreed to disguise it.
Matthew didn't take out the Skull of Augustus, he just stood beside Lorraine and held the shovel firmly in his hand.
Among the three.
The only one with full firepower is Priest Carmela.
But I saw her walking forward with long strides. As she walked, she opened her hands and muttered something in her mouth.
A few seconds later.
Countless lights symbolizing divine magic fell on Carmela.
Her body size increased by one and a half times, and her already dazzling bald head became even more conspicuous. What was even more terrifying was that the muscles on her body were bulging under the blessing of divine magic, giving people an extremely explosive feeling.
Immediately afterwards.
The brilliance of divine magic fell again.
A series of buff halos and a pair of extremely thick heavy armor appeared on Carmela's body.
A pair of thick and long flails also appeared on her hands!
"The Great God of the First Moon!"
"Carmela will always fight for you!"
A flame-like golden light ignited on her body, and the haze of the entire black forest was dispelled by this golden light!
See this scene.
Matthew couldn't help but glance at the data column.
…
"Tip: Your ally Carmela used the legendary magic "Total Protection"!
Carmella used the legendary magic "Arm of the God of the First Moon!"
Under the blessing of the current state.
You noticed that Carmela's strength is as high as 26 points, and her armor is as high as 24 points..."
…
What kind of humanoid tank is this?
Matthew was stunned.
Of course, Matthew was not the only one who was shocked.
The two Yue Yao who rushed over were even more shocked by the strange changes on Carmela's body.
But very quickly.
There was a hint of ecstasy on their faces:
"It's Master Carmela!"
"We are saved!"
"Lord Jasmine, this is none other than Master Carmela..."
The voices of the two Yue Yao just sounded.
The pounding footsteps completely covered it up!
Carmela's activation also made a huge noise like a tank.
Her speed was not very fast, but every step she took went a long way, so she immediately reached the side of the Yue Yao leader with support.
Compared to the Frostwinter Wolf.
Carmela's physique still appears to be a head shorter.
But she rushed forward without fear, and fiercely pulled out the flail in her hand. The end of the flail actually had a special effect of lightning, and there was a crackling sound in the forest——
Meet the first round.
A giant wolf that couldn't dodge was beaten to pieces by Carmela.
It howled and fled away.
However, under the paralysis of the lightning special effects, the giant wolf would fall down every three steps it took, and soon it hit an ancient tree helplessly. Its hard fur became soft, and it obviously lost its combat effectiveness.
"Ouch!"
The giant frost wolves make warning sounds to each other.
They quickly distanced themselves from Carmela, but it didn't seem that simple to get them to retreat.
"Master Carmela!"
The elf on the white tiger looked at the priest beside him who looked like a god.
Carmela nodded slightly:
"Drive these beasts away and return them to their own land!"
Said.
She rushed towards the tallest wolf in the pack!
That is the leader of the Frost Winter Wolf.
Carmela's thinking is very clear. The most correct way to fight against the wolves is to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Just kill or even injure the leader of the wolf pack.
Then the opponent's desire to fight will be seriously affected.
Carmela's momentum is quite amazing.
The wolf was obviously suppressed by this momentum.
Its eyes dodge, obviously not daring to confront the priest head-on, so it can only choose to retreat a little.
at the same time.
The alpha wolf also ordered the other giant wolves to cover for him.
Yet the more it retreats.
Carmela pushed harder and harder.
The shackles in her hand were swung out one after another, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt lightning on the wolf's fur.
quickly.
All Frostwinter wolves dare not approach Carmela.
The eyes they looked at this heavily armored priest were full of fear and confusion.
During this period.
In fact, several giant wolves tried to attack various parts of Carmela's body.
However, although Carmela did not dodge.
The giant wolves also returned without success.
Because they can't bite through Carmela's heavy armor at all!
On the contrary, it was the lightning chain flail in Carmela's hand that had a clear suppressive effect on these beasts.
that's all.
Carmela is approaching step by step.
The giant wolf of frost winter is retreating steadily.
The others followed behind.
Seeing this scene, even Matthew couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
"Is this how top priests fight?"
"Isn't this better than some dull human shield profession?"
No wonder Carmela kept herself and Lorraine from taking action.
This guy's fighting power is completely comparable to that of a legendary dragon!
Compared to the leisurely Loren and Matthew.
The three Yue Yao looked much nervous.
They followed Carmela closely, as if they were worried that she would be attacked by surprise.
But in Matthew's opinion.
The elves were a little worried.
Carmela obviously still has reservations. She seems to only want to drive away the giant wolves, not kill them.
If you really have murderous intentions.
The giant wolf that was attacked first would never survive!
"Wait...where is the giant wolf that was attacked first?"
A warning sign suddenly occurred in Matthew's heart.
Immediately afterwards.
He felt that there seemed to be cruel eyes watching from behind.
Matthew didn't hesitate.
Turning around is a monster immobilization technique!
Silently.
The giant wolf, which was hidden behind the tree and had just exposed half of its body, was firmly held in place by Matthew's spell.
"This guy still wants to make a sneak attack?"
Matthew has a bad look in his eyes.
He raised the shovel, intending to give it to the opponent, but was embarrassed to find that the guy was too tall.
Even if you jump up, it will be difficult to hit the vital parts.
Fortunately, it's at this time.
Luo Lan, who was playing the flute seriously at the side, threw a note in time.
The orange note fell on the giant wolf.
The latter instantly shrunk many times!
Became only the size of a puppy!
Matthew's heart moved. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly came to the shrunken giant frost winter wolf.
Then he stretched out his hand.
He held down the head of the little wolf who was still trying to resist!
…
"Tip: You used "Animal Taming" on the Frost Winter Wolf!
Domestication failed!
The Frostwolf refuses to be your close companion!"
…
"Eight seconds left..."
Lorraine reminded.
Matthew knew that he was prompting to shorten the duration of the musical note, so after nodding lightly, he hit the little wolf on the forehead with a shovel mercilessly!
Matthew used the back of the shovel.
Although it didn't hurt anyone, it was a dull pain, and the little wolf howled after being beaten.
But there is still a bit of unruliness in its eyes.
Without any choice.
Matthew had no choice but to hold the wolf down with one hand and put the sharp edge of the shovel against its neck with the other hand.
The instincts of the beast are temporarily in effect.
The little wolf's eyes suddenly became much kinder.
Matthew used "Tame the Beast" on it again.
The little wolf howled.
Then he weakly agreed.
…
"Hint: You have successfully tamed a "Frost Winter Wolf"!
The Frost Winter Wolf is not loyal enough to you and cannot be promoted to a close partner yet!
Warning: The Frost Winter Wolf may betray at any time!"
…
The next second.
Seeing that Luo Lan's shrinking musical instrument was about to expire.
Little Wolf actually tried to run away from Matthew one step ahead!
There is no hint of betrayal in this guy's eyes!
Matthew sighed softly.
In an instant, he raised the shovel high and raised the knife in his hand.
Give it a stab.
A neat cross-section appears on the neck of the giant frost winter wolf.
The former's head rolled around on the ground, quickly grew in size, and his brains dripped all over the ground. It didn't stop until it hit a tree.
"Why bother!"
"Wouldn't it be nice to be my partner?"
"You have to be an immortal, right?"
Matthew skillfully took out the body bag and stuffed the head and body of the Frost Wolf into it.
"Stuffed to the brim!"
Matthew felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The corpse of the giant frost winter wolf is indeed huge, one wolf can hold up more than a dozen people!
Done all this.
Only then did Matthew look ahead again.
Fortunately, the movement behind was not noticed by the elves.
Perhaps the battle between Carmela and the wolves was too eye-catching, attracting all the attention of Yue Yao.
They quickly moved around.
Occasionally use bows and spells to harass the alpha wolf.
The retreat of the wolves and the sound of the flute heard in the forest made the alpha wolf upset.
It originally thought that the weird priest in front of it was the biggest problem.
But it soon became apparent.
The reason why the wolves were slower than usual in fighting organization was all because of the harassment from the poet behind them!
The other party's flute sound blocked the communication between the alpha wolf and the other giant wolves.
Sometimes.
The orders I gave were even misinterpreted by the music into the opposite meaning!
This situation makes the alpha wolf angry and panicked.
After escaping Carmela's lightning chain shackles again, the alpha wolf could no longer control his violent temper. He jumped onto the large branch next to him and let out a penetrating roar in the sky!
It is summoning all the frost wolves nearby to come closer to it!
However, this wolf howl did not last long.
But a white light lit up on Carmela's body.
The bald red-robed priest also opened his mouth:
"Get out of this woods!"
Her voice was so loud that it drowned out the roar of the wolf!
What's even more terrifying is...
Every syllable she burst out turned into waves of sound.
These sound waves pounced on the Frost Winter Wolves very specifically.
that moment.
All the giant wolves showed painful expressions!
Their ears even began to ooze blood!
See the situation.
All the giant wolves began to retreat.
Carmela didn't stop them.
She just held the weapon in her hand high and continued to exert a deterrent effect on the wolves that were evacuating in a hurry.
quickly.
Most of the giant wolves have evacuated.
Only the alpha wolf was still standing on the huge branch.
It faced everyone and actually uttered human words:
"The God of Hunting remembers you!"
Finish this sentence.
Then it turned around and left in a hurry.
…
"Tip: You have been marked by the leader of the Frostwinter Wolf!
You have the "Attention of the Hunting God".
The attention of the God of Hunting: The God of Hunting and the hunter clan living on the Yunshang Plateau will regard you as an enemy. When you approach their territory, you will likely be ignored by the hunter clan and the Frost Winter Giant Wolf Clan.
Costly attack.
Your "knowledge (god)" has gained new information!"
…
Hunter clan.
This is a very ancient humanoid race.
They live in the crisis-ridden Yunshang Plateau, and fight against all kinds of terrifying monsters on the plateau day and night.
The creed of the Hunter Clan is "Life lies in hunting."
For this reason, they do not distinguish between men, women, old or young, and everyone in this tribe is on the road to hunting more powerful monsters.
This is a crazy race that makes ordinary people blush.
And behind this enthusiasm for hunting is the God of Hunting's uninterrupted protection for his people since ancient times.
Yes.
Never stopped.
Even after the promotion of Tianlun Palace.
In order to promptly respond to the sacrifices and prayers of the hunter clan, the God of Hunting is the only alternative among the gods of Tianlun Palace who takes the initiative to descend into the divine form!
He decisively reduced himself to a demigod and escaped the blockade of the natural disaster mage.
This courage is truly extraordinary.
Because of this, the God of Hunting is one of the very few gods in Tianlun Palace who still has a broad base of believers in the main material world.
He can respond promptly to the prayers of the hunter clan.
This is much stronger than other gods.
Although the God of Hunting, who had been reduced to a demigod, did not dare to be too presumptuous under the pressure of the Seven Saints Alliance, the activities of the Hunter clan have never stopped.
This also has something to do with the fact that they have been hunting in inaccessible places.
under such circumstances.
The hunter clans that continue to this day have an impressive set of traits:
They are strong and tough, cruel and aggressive.
They are extremely xenophobic, so xenophobic that they may kill anyone who is not from their own clan.
In fact.
Except for the Frostwinter Giant Wolf and his own people.
The hunter clan regards all life in this world as prey.
The only difference is the strength or weakness of the prey.
In recent years.
The activity range of the hunter clan is getting closer and closer to the civilized settlements of humans and elves.
Because part of it borders the Yunshang Plateau.
The Garden of Fallen Leaves has become an area highly populated by hunter clans.
They have come to regard this territory as their hunting ground.
Anyone who breaks into them will become their prey - whether they are elves, humans, or other races!
"call……"
Matthew blinked, quickly freeing himself from the knowledge that flashed through his mind.
He saw Carmela return to her normal form.
And the three elves Yueyao were walking towards the two of them behind her.
"Master Carmela, thank you so much!"
"When this restoration is completed, I will definitely come to thank you!"
The leader of Yueyao who was riding a white tiger kept thanking him.
Her face is extremely beautiful, but traveling around all year round makes her look a little haggard.
Carmela waved her hand:
"It's easy, Captain Jasmine."
The white tiger elf touched the back of his head in embarrassment:
"Just call me Jasmine."
"I'm still just a trainee captain."
now.
Her eyes suddenly looked at Matthew and Lorraine:
"Who are these two?"
Carmela replied calmly:
"They are all my patients."
"patient?"
Jasmine looked a little surprised:
"But they all look healthy!"
Carmela smiled slightly:
"Many diseases are invisible to the naked eye. Even though they both look healthy, they are actually very ill!"
"I must take them back to my herb garden as soon as possible. Only in this way can I save their lives."
Jasmine is still a little confused:
"is that so?"
The white tiger under her crotch suddenly growled at Matthew.
Jasmine quickly patted Bai Hu's head to calm him down.
Bai Hu stared at Matthew several times, and it took several seconds before he stopped.
"I'm sorry, Master Carmela, we have a rule that any new face that appears near the Garden of Fallen Leaves must be registered..."
Jasmine said a little embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, just register. They are all my patients and their backgrounds are very innocent."
Carmela seemed extremely calm.
Jasmine immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, she waved her hand, and the two Yue Yao behind her walked towards Matthew and Lorraine respectively.
“Just register the basic information.”
Jasmine reminded.
"Name, occupation, purpose of visit."
A Yue Yao asked Luo Lan.
Lorraine blinked:
"My name is Eli and I am a poet by profession. What is your purpose here? Obviously, I am here to treat a disease."
Matthew almost choked when he heard this!
Fortunately, he and Luo Lan didn't say the same thing.
He just happened to want to use the pseudonym "Eli" too!
"And you?"
Another Yue Yao looked at Matthew.
Matthew quickly replied:
"My name is Lumière, and my occupation... my occupation is..."
He is still thinking about it here.
That Yue Yao looked at the shovel in his hand and rounded it up for him very considerately:
"A farmer by profession?"
Matthew was stunned for a moment:
"Roughly the same."
"The purpose of coming here is to see a doctor just like the poet, right?"
The moonlight quickly wrote on a huge leaf.
Matthew nodded repeatedly.
Probably for Carmela's sake, these two elves were just a symbolic formality.
Soon it was time to say goodbye.
"You must always be careful when walking in these woods!"
"It was when we were on a mission that we encountered an ambush from a large force of the Hunter clan, and that's why we were chased here by the giant Frostwinter wolf."
“This area has become very unsafe—
We heard that the Scourge Cult occupies many nearby underground caves, and they seem to be conducting some very evil experiments.
Since Mr. Mozon disappeared, the vampires in the south have become restless. There have been several cases of abnormal animal deaths recently. The real culprit behind the scenes has not yet been found, but I suspect that it is related to those vampires.
Also, on our way to evacuate just now, we unexpectedly heard the wind in the dilapidated forest telling us that a group of tomb robbers with malicious intentions were approaching the area!
Their purpose is most likely..."
Speaking of which.
Jasmine suddenly paused.
She seemed to realize that she said something she shouldn't have said, so she could only change the subject abruptly:
"Be careful with everything."
"Well, farewell, Master Carmela!"
The three elves quickly left.
Watching their figures disappear into the dark forest.
Lorraine couldn't help but ask:
"The group of malicious tomb robbers they are talking about are not referring to..."
Carmela suddenly made a silent gesture.
Lorraine's response was also very quick.
He shut his mouth in time.
After a few seconds.
Under Matthew's curious gaze, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the direction where the elves disappeared.
The elf riding the white tiger left and returned.
To Matthew's surprise.
The other party actually came for me!
But when he saw the elf woman coming to him with a blushing face, the white tiger under her crotch could not stop roaring.
"Hello, Mr. Lumiere."
Jasmine said bluntly:
"I just noticed that your expression was a little uncomfortable, so I turned back here because I have something to say to you."
"My grandfather is a human being and he is also a farmer. I believe that there is no distinction between high and low in any occupation. There is no need for you to feel inferior just because you are a farmer."
"This amulet is given to you to wish you a speedy recovery."
Said.
She took off a crescent-shaped jade pendant that shone with white light from her chest and handed it to Matthew.
Matthew subconsciously took it.
This amulet feels warm and moist to the touch.
There is still a vague fragrance.
"Roar!"
The white tiger suddenly let out a strange cry.
"I know, I know!"
Jasmine blushed and said to Matthew:
"Miranda said she likes you very much."
"I also think you are handsome."
"So, after Master Carmela cures you of your illness, can you go on a date with me?"
Matthew didn't expect it to be this script and didn't react at all.
Because of this, Jasmine gave the wrong answer.
She lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then said shyly but courageously:
"The Enmat clan I belong to is a branch of the wood elves, and there is no ban on intermarriage with humans."
"Although I am only the trainee captain of Yueyao now, I will probably be promoted soon. I have saved a lot of money, so you don't have to worry about financial issues."
"That's right, and I also like children very much. After we get together, we can have several..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller.
His head was simply buried on his chest.
"Ho ho ho!"
The white tiger seemed extremely dissatisfied.
"What? Just snatch him home? That's not okay, Miranda, you're going too far!"
Jasmine's face turned red as she patted Bai Hu's neck.
"It's time for me to go, Mr. Lumiere."
"Anyway, don't throw away this amulet, I will come to find you."
Finish these two sentences.
She stroked the white tiger's head gently, and the latter reluctantly carried the elf girl away again.
The three of them looked at each other.
Matthew looked at the amulet in his hand with some uncertainty:
"The elves shouldn't do any mischief, right?"
Carmela shook her head:
"Captain Jasmine is a good girl. She has many advantages: diligent, hard-working, gentle and capable."
"If you want to develop a relationship with her, I won't object, but it must be after this action."
Luo Lan sighed:
"Poor elf girl."
"It's rare to fall in love with a human being, but it turns out that the scumbag even gave her a false name."
"Wait a minute, I suddenly have creative inspiration..."
Matthew's face darkened.
He was about to say something, but suddenly got stuck.
Immediately afterwards.
His eyes also became slightly out of focus.
"What's wrong?"
Lorraine and Carmela asked at the same time.
next moment.
Matthew quickly came to his senses.
His expression became very serious:
"Something's wrong."
"The elf girl named Jasmine just now, the "malignant tomb robbers" she said did not refer to us!"
