Chapter 326 325. Ambush

On the thick branches of a huge ancient tree, a forest frog that almost completely blended into the environment was staring closely at the figure passing below.

Its muscles are tensed, waiting for the prey to come closer, and then its long tongue will shoot out and take the prey's life in an instant, making it a delicious meal.

However, this time the prey stopped just outside its attack range.

Then, there was a slight sound of bowstring, and the forest frog was startled, thinking that he was exposed, but the arrow was not aimed at him.

Seeing this, the forest frog, which was originally about to jump away, suppressed the impulse and decided to continue observing the next move of the prey.

But the next second, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from its side without any warning!

The forest frog tried to jump and dodge, but it was too late. The arrow pierced its head and killed it instantly.

Its body stiffened and it fell from the high branch.

Pelagor walked slowly to the still twitching corpse of the forest frog and pulled out the arrow neatly. He did not collect any materials, but just paused for a moment before continuing on his way.

The purpose of his trip was to investigate the spread of the "madness" phenomenon in the Shenmu underground city.

In their last operation, they successfully transformed five tree spirits, but were accidentally discovered by a magical pet, which forced them to keep a low profile for a while to avoid any accidents.

Therefore, it is impossible to continuously monitor the status of the dungeon.

Although in theoretical deduction, the first step of the plan should go smoothly, it is ultimately just theory.

At the gathering point, Pelagle and his companions encouraged each other verbally, but they lacked confidence in their hearts and were secretly worried about possible accidents.

Seeing that so much time had passed, they finally decided to send Pellagel to sneak into the lower level to confirm the progress.

The reason for sending only him was due to our trust in his superb skills and also to minimize the losses in case of any accidents.

After walking another spiral, Pelagle finally returned to the sixth floor. From a distance, some mycelium caught his attention.

He has excellent eyesight and can clearly capture these tiny creatures even from a distance.

These recently appeared mycelium reminded him of the Puji magical pet.

To be on the safe side, he decided to avoid the area and take a detour.

However, since he had been targeted by Lin Jun, he obviously couldn't "get around" anymore.

Half an hour later, Pelagle came to a small slope, and a little further ahead he entered the range of the migratory trees.

However, he stopped.

In the direction of the small slope, a seemingly natural rock shadow moved slightly. This almost imperceptible abnormality did not escape Pellagel's eyes.

Without any hesitation, Pelagel drew his bow and arrow like lightning!

The bowstring hummed, and an arrow did not shoot straight, but drew a strange arc, bypassing the cover in front, and with a "puff", it accurately penetrated the abdomen of a half-demon!

"Ugh!"

A cry of pain was heard, and Pellagor's second arrow was already on the bow.

He still didn't know the specific identity of the ambushers, but even if he faced a whole team of elven rangers, he was confident that he could fight to the end with the help of the terrain and archery!

However, the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted——

Behind the small slope, countless round bubbles were surging and wriggling like a bursting dam tide, rushing towards him!

The number is far more than the total number of arrows in his quiver, and they are still coming out in an endless stream!

Even though I don't know the specific intentions of these approaching people, as an archer, staying away from close combat is an instinctive choice.

With a few nimble leaps and falls, Pelagel quickly jumped onto the branches of a huge tree nearby.

On the way, he also twisted his body and narrowly avoided several acid mushroom cannons and a scorching fireball.

The fireball came from a lizardman mage. His companion had just been shot through the abdomen by an arrow. Eager for revenge, he impulsively jumped out of cover and cast a spell.

"Idiot looking for death!" Louisa, who was watching the game at the back of the team, gave this comment.

No matter how many times I emphasize that you should hide yourself and let Puji take over first, there are always some fools who can't remember.

Sure enough, the moment Pelagel stood firmly on the branch, he turned around and shot a shot as fast as a meteor!

The arrow did not have any fancy arc, but it was shot with absolute speed and precision. The lizardman mage had no time to react before the arrow pierced his head.

As the lizard man fell, the Pujis he controlled suddenly became sluggish.

This sudden change made Pelagle, who was originally feeling pressured by the number of enemies, see the light and see hope of breaking the deadlock!

His bowstring sounded again, and two arrows shot out in an arc, injuring the other two guys hiding behind the cover, but not killing them outright.

At this time, the Pujis also fluttered up, forcing him to move and jump at high speed among the branches of the giant trees to avoid them.

Just as he set his sights on the next giant tree and leaped up, Jida, who had giant blades in both hands, chopped off the tree trunk with one knife. The giant tree tilted and collapsed, and Pelage in mid-air suddenly lost his footing and fell down.

Looking at Jida rushing towards him, he showed amazing calmness at the moment of falling, and the bowstring vibrated, shooting two arrows in a row!

One arrow accurately pierced Jida's head, and the other arrow penetrated deeply into its knee joint.

However, Jida had no real joints, and the arrow in the knee had almost no effect on his movements.

The reconnaissance Puji on the head was not a vital point. Although he had lost his observation ability, Jida still followed the preset charge trajectory and slammed into the falling elf!

The heavy impact was so loud that it made one's teeth ache. Pelagle was knocked away like a kite with a broken string, and hit the trunk of a tree in the distance heavily. Then he slid softly to the ground, and the longbow in his hand flew out of his hand.

One of its legs even brushed against Jida's giant blade during the fall. Under the dual blessing of [Sharpness LV10] and [Claw LV10], the flesh and blood body that had not been specially strengthened in defense seemed so fragile that it was easily cut off.

Pelagle, who fell to the ground, was quickly caught by the Pujis.

"The enemy is actually an elf! This is the first time I've seen this!" Baroque, who was shot in the shoulder, ran to Jida with a grin, looking at the elf who was tied up, with disbelief in his tone.

Then he turned to envy: "You have made a great contribution, right? I wonder how many contribution points you can get as a reward this time!"

"Mmm! Mmm!" A vague but excited voice came from inside Jida.

"I don't understand at all! Where's Ergen? Could he have been shot to death?"

"He said," Ergen's voice came from the side, and he seemed safe and sound, "he had never felt so powerful before, so invincible."

Hearing this, Baroque looked at the mighty Jida beside him and nodded sincerely: "That's great... It's a pity that I don't have this talent..." There are indeed only a few people who are qualified to control Jida.

It was the first time to control Puji in actual combat, and even the injured people were excited.

The elves were clearly diamond-level in strength. They were a bunch of gold and silver, but they were able to defeat the other side... although most of the credit went to Jida...

The elves were captured, and Louisa wrote down the various problems of these recruits and asked them to reflect and correct them afterwards.

Lin Jun did not participate in the entire battle. Apart from Louisa who was present, there was also an elite Puji team on standby further away, but it seemed that they were of no use.

Picking up the bow dropped by the elf on the ground, it seems to be a skill weapon!

Next...it's time for a heart-to-heart talk. (Updated on the first day)
