Chapter 906 Hunter and Prey
Time flies, time flies...
Same day, six hours later
Game time PM16:43
Northwestern Continent , the outskirts of the Golden City, two hundred miles north of the caveman settlement, in the wilderness
"The last six."
Run Hiran was hanging upside down on the branch of a dead tree, his eyes blessed by [Eagle Eye Vision] were sharp and cold, unblinking. Staring at the few animals nearly a kilometer away that looked somewhere between a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Velociraptor. Among the dragons, the body is covered with a large number of lead-gray horny creatures. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised: "Dispose of it within half an hour~"
In his arms, he held a long bow of emerald green with a texture like emerald. , the half-animal elf Baicao·Yelu leaning behind the tree Nodding slightly, he took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back and asked softly: "Still the same old rules?"
"No, I'll trouble you to be the bait this time."
Zi Lan did not turn around to look at Baicao; He grinned and said: "Those guys have been tortured by us for so long, and their physical strength has dropped to an ideal level. It doesn't matter even if they perform abnormally, I will resolve the battle before they bring you into their attack range."
Baicao glanced at the handsome, inverted face next to him (Zi Lan was still hanging upside down on the tree at this time), frowned and said: "The last two sentences are redundant, I am just cooperating with you, no matter what It can be a sniper or a decoy. If you don't perform well, you better pray that you don't miss."
[Oh, this girl has quite a strong sense of self-esteem. 】
Perceiving that the other party seemed a little unhappy, Zhou Lan quickly rubbed the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "Well, I don't mean anything else, just..."
"Yeah."
Baicao interrupted Hiran noncommittally, and said calmly: "I will launch an attack in thirty seconds, and then move clockwise around here, and the rest will be left to you."
The latter smiled dryly and nodded, saying "oh" and knowingly stopped talking.
Although the two of them have been working together for almost two days and nights today, Hiran's understanding of his partner has not deepened much. This is because the communication between the two is too business-oriented. Apart from the most basic battle planning, we almost didn't even have a serious conversation, so after these two days, the relationship between them turned back and forth, becoming even more awkward than before.
Baicao's rather cold personality accounts for about 30% of the reason for the current situation, and the remaining 70% is basically Hiran's own fault.
In a nutshell, this person is all about mission contribution and has never gotten close to Baicao. Naturally, a girl like him will not take the initiative to chat with Hiran. , so these two days passed without any embarrassment.
But fortunately, although it is a bit subtle that a man and a woman have been alone together for two whole days without the buds of friendship sprouting, Baicao's skills are indeed quite good, at least better than Hiran thought before. Not only was he not intimidated by the group of nearly fifty dragons, but he was also flawless in his actions and could always perform his duties perfectly.
That is to say, the partner can complete as many sniper kills as possible while serving as a decoy to pin down the target.
After two days, a total of forty-one sub-dragon species [Iron Howler] fell under her arrows, including thirty-two mid-level and nine high-level ones, which can be said to be quite powerful. .
But despite this, Baicao has never launched a sniper attack on six [Iron Howlers] at the same time with the goal of annihilating the enemy. It's not that she can't do it, but the risk is too high to make it worthwhile. [ The Iron Howlers have almost the greatest strength, almost the fastest speed, and almost the strongest physique!
And low intelligence does not mean that the hunting level is low. On the contrary, [Iron Howler], who lives almost by instinct, can be called cunning in battle, even if it is faster than them. Lan and Baicao might be 'hunted' if they weren't careful.
As a ranger who is relatively light and fragile compared to other professional systems, once he is stuck or trapped by these cruel monsters, at least nine out of ten will die.
Baicao felt that he would not be the nine who died, but he still broke into a cold sweat in his heart, and couldn't help but despise Zhou Lan.
The reason is very simple, that is, in this kind of two-ranger hunting battle, the risk that the bait side has to bear is several times that of the sniper side!
It’s not that she needs to be taken care of as a woman, Baicao is just a little unhappy with Hiran’s behavior of passing the responsibility for the last high-risk bait to herself after taking countless low-risk baits.
【Contain six at the same time until he kills all the enemies...】
Baicao took a deep breath, put the unattractive feather arrow in his hand on the bowstring, used his vision with the blessing of [Eagle Eye] to the limit, and firmly locked on an arrow that was looking around vigilantly, with a strong physique. The largest dragon made quick calculations in his mind.
The conclusion is that if Hirarashi's sniping skills are similar to his own, or slightly inferior, he, as the bait, will have to persist for at least 7 minutes without being caught in order to escape danger.
The definition of 'out of danger' is that the number of enemies is reduced to three, of which at most two are high-level.
【Acceptable. 】
Squinting his eyes slightly, Baicao, who was quite confident in his own level, ended his thinking. After letting his mind go for about 3 seconds, he released the bow string, and at the same time, he shot out like a bolt in the strong wind. Swinging to the west like catkins, they appeared more than ten meters away from where the two men were hiding in an instant, and another round of sharp arrows was sprayed out.
"Roar!!!"
With a deafening roar, Yalong, whose left eye was directly pierced by a [Splitting Wind Arrow], immediately locked onto Baicao nearly a kilometer away, his huge figure It rushed out like it was weightless, and together with the other five others of the same kind that were attacked one after another, they carried the billowing smoke and dust and roared towards the petite demon, flying at lightning speed!
It’s really fast! The kind that shortens the distance between the two parties to three-fifths in the blink of an eye!
“How could it be!”
Baicao, who tried to slow down the speed of his prey through rapid-fire techniques, simply calculated the average speed of the six [Iron Howlers] and his face suddenly froze, and he did not hesitate in the next moment. He jumped up hesitantly, and while resonating with the surrounding wind elements, he fired several [Crazy Arrows] to quickly push his body towards the evacuation route, while shouting to Hiran who was still hanging upside down on the dead tree like a bat. : "Five high-level ones! Let's go!"
"It's not necessary."
The latter didn't even look at Baicao, and didn't even let the other party hear what he was saying as if he was talking to himself. He gently opened his high-quality face. The epic-level longbow [Hundred Flowers Killing], smiled.
Buzz——
After a sharp explosion, Zhou Lan, who falsely flicked his bow string, appeared between Baicao and the six birds in the distance that were flying south at high speed. Iron Howl] in the middle.
No... in fact, there should be five [Iron Howlers].
Because just after the explosion, one of the ferocious sub-dragon species, which Baicao judged to be a high-level and the largest one, fell to the ground with a crash. A huge head rose into the sky, and the neck with a smooth cut gushed out. A lot of blood, just like that, he died under an unexplained beheading.
Of course, although it seems a bit unclear, this incredible phenomenon can still be explained clearly.
You can launch an attack without arrows, and it is an active skill without any foreshadowing or light and shadow effects - [Void String]
The cooling time is two hours, which can greatly improve yourself in a short period of time. A skill that deals critical damage - [Wind Reading]
A skill that increases the critical rate of your next attack by continuing to gaze over time - [Eagle Eye Vision]
Stand still for ten minutes, a talent that doubles the damage of the next three attacks - [Evil Sniper]. When the user has more than three buffs stacked on him, a weapon trait that doubles the effect of a random buff - [Discount] Ye】
With just one blow, Hiran directly increased his personal contribution to the current regional task by 200 points.
"How could it be!?"
Exactly the same exclamation, exactly the same content, but referring to a completely different object. The half-beast elf who had already turned around and was preparing to cover Hiran's evacuation glared. With wide eyes, he stared in disbelief at the headless [Iron Howler] who was already dead and collapsed, his beautiful amber vertical pupils filled with shock.
However, that shot just now was just the beginning.
Zi Lan, who was standing between Baicao and Yalong, raised his hand and touched it on his waist, and there was a very slender and compact one between his fingers, exuding bursts of sweet smell. A light purple arrow, and this 'short arrow' disappeared strangely the next second it appeared in Baicao's field of vision.
"Ouch——"
The enchanting purple blood burst from the eyes of the Yalong whose left pupil was taken away by Baicao, and then the poor [Iron Howler] fell headlong He fell to the ground, gasping for air, and finally lost his life after a muffled explosion in his chest.
The same is [Rapid Fire]. Hirarashi seems to have completely omitted the four steps of setting the string, drawing the bow, aiming, and firing. The moment he took out the arrow, he sent it to where he wanted to send it. , I don’t know how many times faster than Baicao’s stylish and high-value shot just like a waving afterimage.
The skill called [Rapid Fire] + the sophisticated consumable [Flower Spider] allowed Hiran to complete a double kill in just a moment.
Then——
Throwing up the long bow in his hand, Zilan, with his hands free, simultaneously took out a total of eight feather arrows from the quivers on both sides of his waist, and then He actually raised his left foot and put his toes against the bow. His hands filled with arrows simultaneously clasped the bowstring, and completed an incredible scattering in a series of explosions.
And because the [Rapid Fire] effect is still there, the duration of this series of actions is neither scientific nor magical - two and a half seconds.
[Strong Burning Impact Arrow]!
Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff -
A total of eight dazzling fires exploded on the four pigs' [Iron Howl], which were suddenly advancing, all at their knee joints that were not protected by horns. The momentum of these sub-dragons, who turned a blind eye to the tragic death of their kind, stalled!
To be precise, the momentum of three of the dragons stagnated, and the strength of the last one was only mid-level, inferior in size, size, height, and stature (yes, it is actually the same thing) Compared to the other three of the same kind, [Iron Howl] lost its balance after being suddenly hit by an arrow in the knee, and fell directly to the ground.
So Hiran, who originally planned to waste the last second of his [Rapid Fire] state, just threw out a [Spider Web Arrow], trapping the stalled mid-level dragon. In situ.
At this point, the only three remaining high-level sub-dragons have completely focused on Ji Lan, and Baicao, who is further away, also gave up the plan to leave with a complicated mood, half-kneeling on the ground and unstringing his bow, ready to go at any time. Preparing for support has been approached by the enemy to a distance that is enough for an ordinary ranger to reverse the identities of 'hunter' and 'prey'.
However...
Run Hirarashi is not an ordinary high-level ranger. He is the 59th pick in the personal combat power rankings of the Innocence (it was 58th two days ago). Strong, the best among millions of players, a well-deserved T1 level macho!
Even if his appearance, body and personality are not very strong, at least his strength is!
So instead of keeping the distance, Hirano made a move that was infinitely close to suicide in Baicao's eyes, that is, he went straight towards the three who had just been slowed down and were fighting at close range. The high-level sub-dragon that could take Hiran to rebuild his character with at most two slaps rushed over!
Then Baicao saw the man dodging the powerful and heavy attack like a monkey with the blessing of an unknown skill, while calmly climbing up the [Iron Howler] in the middle. On the shoulder, use the bowstring that shines with the cold light to draw across the side of the latter's neck——
Poof!
A gap with a depth of at least twenty centimeters burst open, and the location was naturally the neck of the sub-dragon.
[Bow Blowing] + [Broken Blade String]
With a flash of blood, the life of the third high-level sub-dragon was taken away.
“Roar!!!”
At the same time, the other two [Iron Howlers] raised their thick upper limbs at the same second like mirror images, trying to smash Hiran and the corpses of his own kind into pieces.
And Hiran also split into two like a mirror image, standing firmly on the shoulders of the Yalong corpse that was smashing to the ground, grinning at the enemies coming from both sides, back to back.

……
Ever since, Hirarashi, who split himself into two through [Shape of Wind], gave himself a new set of [Rapid Fire] + [Reading Wind] buffs. In addition, he had never interrupted from the beginning, so he directly The fully stacked [Eagle Eye Sight] once again triggered the weapon special effect [Folding Leaves], and activated [Void String] which did not require arrows.
Like a breeze blowing——
Two headless dragon corpses collapsed.
The hunter who landed on the ground shrugged his shoulders, shot an arrow behind him without looking back, pierced the head of the last prey in the spider web, and bounced the other two arrows between his fingers. bag.
“This is a glorious encounter for you~”
The hunter laughed and made a mischievous face.
