Chapter 62 - 62 Finally Entering the Dangerous Hinterland
Fang Ping could not care less. He ran first. Using the cover of the trees, he turned around to look at the Warriors.
The Warriors ran into the circle of light. The large hunting dogs still wanted to chase after them, but they realized that they could not enter no matter what.
Several bats flew over and were also stopped in the air. As if they had hit an invisible wall, they swayed and fell to the ground.
A Warrior entered the circle of light and saw that the large hunting dog was blocked outside. Just as he was about to take a breather, he realized that a dense rain of arrows was shooting at him. He scrambled and ran.
!!
Elsa had already retreated far away, and many Rangers retreated with her.
On the other hand, Captain Shockley was still standing where he was. Many arrows hit him and broke on the spot or bounced away, making clanging sounds.
Captain Shockley also raised his hammers one after another. Anyone who looked at him would have a green light on their body and a portion of their injuries would recover.
This should be to prevent someone from being instantly killed.
Most of Fang Ping’s team retreated a hundred meters away. Even the Elf Archers could not shoot.
Fang Ping looked outside the circle of light. More and more wild beasts and Elves had gathered.
Captain Shockley was still standing on the spot. His body was also covered in a golden light. It was a Forbidden Blessing Spell. He could not withstand the attacks of so many Elven Archers.
Fang Ping could only see his back. He was facing the direction Mendes had left in just now. He did not know what kind of story there was between them.
Captain Shockley had just mentioned Canaan and said that Mendes had betrayed humanity. However, the characteristic hint was that Mendes was an Elf, and he looked like an Elf.
Mendez had said that he had been killed and that he was dead. What did that mean? And what did he mean by the failure of the fusion?
Fang Ping recalled that when he first came to this world, everyone around him was abnormal. At that time, he had been in low spirits, so Fang Ping did not think too much about it.
However, after leaving Canaan, Fang Ping realized that the people around him were still very normal. According to the three principles of normal abnormality, no one around him seemed to be problematic.
Canaan seemed to be the only one that was different, not this world.
Also, at the Silver Moon Riding Carriage, Tang Jie’s strange performance, his Awakening with one Awakening Stone, and the rapid comprehension of the Skill Crystal, did this have anything to do with Canaan?
While Fang Ping was thinking, the wild beasts and Elves outside the circle of light began to slowly retreat, away from the circle of light and into the darkness again.
Captain Shockley also turned around and walked over with steady steps.
Fang Ping thought about it as he walked into the team.
“Fang Ping, you’re good! I let you be the commander!”
Fang Ping only came back to his senses when he suddenly heard someone talking to him. It was Andre.
Andre walked over and patted Fang Ping. “Not bad. Continue to work hard. Being a commander is much better than being a soldier.”
“Ouch.” Fang Ping felt a sharp pain in his back from Andre’s pat.
“Be gentle. I was shot in the back.”
An arrow was still stuck straight into Fang Ping’s back.
Fang Ping now knew the disadvantage of having high attack power. Small wounds would be ignored.
Andre helped Fang Ping put down his backpack and grabbed the arrow. “Bear with it.”
“Um… ah… ah? Did you pull it out?”
“I pulled it out.” Andre extended the arrowhead in front of Fang Ping. There were still red bloodstains on it.
Fang Ping felt as if his back had been pricked by a needle. He tried his best to reach out and touch his back. The bleeding had already stopped.
Having a high attack power is wonderful.
“Tell me, how are you going to thank me?”
Fang Ping saw someone walking over. It was quite familiar. That’s right, it was the person who had just used Instant Strike on him.
“If it wasn’t for my Instant Strike, you would probably have died from all those arrows just now. I spent thirty energy points to save you.” He raised his chin and looked at Fang Ping. Fang Ping took a look. His name was Shawbael.
However, he had indeed saved him. Fang Ping bowed and said, “Thank you.”
“I heard that you…” Shobel was about to say something when Elsa interrupted him.
“Everyone, line up and leave the Dark Forest now.”
Under the envelopment of the halo, wild beasts and Elves could not chase after him. However, since it was a skill, it definitely had a time limit.
When the time limit is up, it was hard to say what would happen when facing a large group of wild beasts and Elves.
After lining up, Qing Niao came to Fang Ping’s side. He looked rather neat.
Qing Niao was the only one without armor. The clothes on his body were tattered by the large hunting dog. He had just changed into them.
The armor of others could not be changed casually.
“Fang Ping, your command just now was not bad.” Qing Niao gave him a thumbs up.
“No, it’s my first time giving commands. I don’t know anything about warfare.”
“If you hadn’t discovered the large hunting dog in advance, we would have been surrounded by them just now.”
“Mm, alright.” Fang Ping was not interested in such fancy praise. He quickly ended the topic.
Qing Niao sighed. “Unfortunately, an accident happened. This mission couldn’t be completed, and we couldn’t bring back the corpses of the beasts we just killed. It was equivalent to a wasted trip.
“I was thinking that I could earn a sum of money from this mission. Even if I can’t afford armor, I can get a better weapon first.”
Qing Niao waved the mace in his hand. “This is very useful, but it doesn’t have any characteristics. It’s still a little weak.”
“Yes, let’s see what the subsequent arrangements are. Elder Su and Teacher Su will think of a way to let us earn money. After all, many people don’t have weapons.”
The price of a weapon was four to five silver coins. If it was a weapon with special characteristics, the price would double and it would cost more than ten silver coins.
For example, Fang Ping’s Space Staff, which was bound with soul fragments and could be upgraded, usually cost more than 50 silver coins.
Fang Ping’s Space Staff only had one effect, which was to speed up the return of energy. The price was also low. A better weapon would only be more expensive.
Almost half of Fang Ping’s team were working students. Few working students had good weapons.
“Yes.” Qing Niao nodded.
On the way out of the Dark Forest, the journey was very calm.
Looking back at the battle just now, Fang Ping still felt a little baffled.
Without income, a lot of energy was consumed, and basically all the Warriors drank healing potions. It was really a losing deal.
After walking out of the Dark Forest, Fang Ping realized that the sun was only slanting. He went in in the morning and came out before noon. How fast.
When they were close to the Dark Forest, Elsa raised her hand and clenched it. “Sit down.”
He sat in the wilderness and looked at Elsa.
“The situation this time is special. Our mission can’t be completed.
The traitor Mendes was once a Human. His goal was still unclear, but he was extremely hostile. The Dark Forest was extremely dangerous now.
