Chapter 11 The Weird Formation

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air breaks the tranquility of the rainforest night.

Arthur and the others all slept very lightly and woke up instantly, but the few people who were aiming to sneak in secret did not want to cause any extra trouble and lay there without moving.

The huge banyan tree leaves are tightly hiding its figure. If it weren't for the deliberate search, no one would have discovered these people hiding on the tree.

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air became increasingly dense, and there was a scream in the middle. The sound became clearer, as if it was coming here.

A figure staggered and ran into Arthur and his team's vision, followed by the second and third routes. There were five people who were running for life. They were wearing light leather armor that adventurers used to wear, with leather pockets around their waists and weapons in their hands.

Their identity can be easily judged from this piece of equipment - the slave hunter. It seems that they were discovered and chased by the elf hunter before they succeeded.

The elves hated these people to death, and they would not end up falling into the hands of the elves. Arthur would not feel sympathy and rescued them. They deserved it, just want not to implicate them. But these slave-captured people were so desperate that they ran to the place where Arthur and the others hid.

The sharp arrow broke through the air, and with a scream, the figure running at the last one fell to an arrow. Before he could get up, two or three arrows shot on his body, and he died.

"Run apart, run out one by one!" the figure running in the front shouted.

As he shouted, the three people following him did run in different directions, but one of them ran towards the banyan tree where Arthur and the others were hiding.

Arthur and his men's hearts were raised, hoping that he could escape and lead the pursuit of the elves. Just as the slave hunter was about to jump over the banyan tree where Arthur and the others were hiding, an arrow shot on his thigh. He fell forward, and then got up and ran away two or three steps and was shot one after another. The body fell on the root of the tree, covering the hole where the dwarf was hiding.

Arthur sighed softly and had quietly held the "Wolf Kissing the Blue" short sword. Fighting was inevitable. When the elves collect the corpse, they would definitely find the hole and the dwarf under him.

An elf hunter ran over and flipped the body. He confirmed that the guy was dead and turned to other directions to help. After a while, Arthur and the others waited for the elves to clean the battlefield. During this process, Toren squatted in the tree hole and did not move.

The battlegrounds were cleaned up by seven or eight elves archers and one elves wizard. When the elves wizard appeared, Arthur felt a little surprised because there were few elves wizards taking on patrol missions.

The situation was even more strange. The elf mage took out an octagonal magic weapon similar to a mirror, and after activating it, it emitted a red light cover toward the corpse of the slave-catching man in the distance. The corpse of the slave-catching man was quickly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flesh and blood seemed to be swallowed by the red light. Soon there was only a mummy wrapped in clothes left on the ground.

This way of dealing with corpses is too strange, because the general way of dealing with elves is to bury directly under the tree as nutrients for plants.

Joan pushed Ellani gently, and Ellani's eyes were filled with horror. It was obvious that she had never seen an elf deal with a corpse like this.

Not far away from them was Arthur. Arthur was thinking at this time. The red beam of light and the way the flesh and blood of the corpse disappeared was familiar, which reminded him of the blood-colored light shield in the Burial Eagle Valley. The effect of the mirror magic weapon in the hand of the elf mage was very similar to the reduced version of the blood-colored light shield magic array.

After dealing with the corpse in the distance, the elf mage came under the banyan tree again, and the red beam of light once again covered the corpse lying at the entrance of the tree hole.

A cry of pain came out, and the corpse suddenly bounced up. Toren jumped out of the tree hole like lightning, and the crescent battle axe in his hand hit the elf mage and slashed it down.

Before the elf mage could fully react from the sudden change of the corpse, Torun's axe blade had already arrived in front of him. While staggering back, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it. The faint light slashed from the battle axe flashed by, and the elf mage's arms flew out in one go.

When Toren attacked, Arthur and Huey also pounced down from the tree almost at the same time, while Joan chose to cover Ellanie's eyes.

The battle ended very quickly, and the combat power of these elf shooters was too average, and the elves leading the team were just the strength of intermediate elf warriors. Seven or eight elf shooters were killed in the blink of an eye.

Arthur and the others had already shown up and could not keep a living mouth. The two of them were like ghosts and rushed in different directions. Not long after, the two returned to the banyan tree. Alanni was bandaging the elf mage with broken arms. The two of them came back and said nothing, but everyone knew that there were no living elf warriors nearby.

"It hurts quite hard when I touched it on my body. I couldn't help but rush out." The dwarf explained and handed the mirror magic weapon to Arthur.

Arthur held it in his hand and studied it carefully. This was an octagonal golden magic array plate. The front of the array plate was etched with complex magic array patterns. There was a light red bead in the center of the array plate. If you input magic power into the array plate, a red beam of light will be shot out from the beads.

Arthur tried to point the beam at the corpse of an elf, and the body quickly shriveled in the continuous exposure of the beam. The disappeared flesh and blood energy was absorbed by the beads through the beam. After Arthur shone three corpses in succession, he suddenly found that the red color in the bead in the array plate seemed to be a little deeper than before.

After sucking all the elves on the ground, Arthur was convinced of his guess, "This magic array plate is used to absorb life energy. I guess the bead in the middle will turn completely dark red after absorbing the energy."

"It has something to do with the Dark Magician?" asked Qiong.

Arthur shook his head gently, "This is not a dark magic equipment. What the dark magician needs is the soul of the creature or the corpse itself, and extract the life energy in the corpse and store it. As far as I know, it is useless to the dark magician."

"He may be able to provide some useful information." Huey pointed to the elf mage on the ground.

"There are limited things that he knows at his level, but he should know a little bit." Arthur's eyes had turned to the elf mage on the ground. Toren left this survivor at that time and was of some value.

Knowing that Ellanie couldn't see the scene of the interrogation of the same clan, Joan took the initiative to hold her hand, "Let's go and guard it, hoping that no one will come to die again."

It is much easier to let an elf confess than to pry open the orc's mouth. Arthur still has to silence after asking something.
