Elf Archer of Life in Another World

The long camel caravan drew a curve on the golden land, and the trajectory of the curve overlapped with the undulations of the sand dunes. Even if it was confirmed that the camel caravan was heading west along the straight line on the map, every year it still felt like it was in the original place.

The illusion of the ground spinning.

Although there were many camels, the group of more than a thousand people had even more supplies. Everyone had just left the customs, and their minds were still immersed in the magnificent scenery of the desert yellow sand. Their fatigue had not yet arrived, so they all followed the crisp sound of the camel.

Walking with the sound of camel bells, leaving fleeting footprints on the soft yellow sand.

The team was clearly divided into three parts.

The front team is the Qilin Army that joined from Yumen Pass. According to the smiling young general named Zheng Qi, there are five hundred people in total, all taciturn and armored men.

In the middle is a caravan traveling around the world. The three hundred players are equally divided between men and women, chatting and laughing in twos and threes. The laughter that breaks out from time to time blows into Nian Nian's ears along with the breeze.

Finally, there is the 500-man guard of the envoy Song Qing. They are all taciturn and the muffled footsteps of the ground are uniform. Song Qing himself is not here, he is also in the lively area. Although there is no noise, he will chat with those around him from time to time.

We exchanged a few words with each other and looked quite relaxed.

Every year, I am at the end of the caravan and at the front of the guard, sometimes bickering with three feet of water, sometimes just quietly admiring the never-before-seen scenery around me.

"This is what the desert is like." Nian Nian put his hands on his eyes and looked up at the cloudless sky.

"Isn't it amazing?" Sanchi Shui smiled, not knowing why he was so proud.

"Well, it's very desolate, there's not even a root of grass." Nian Nian looked around and said with a flat mouth.

"Are you still afraid of running out of food? We have brought a lot of fodder. I believe the camel brothers don't mind sharing some with you."

Sanchi Shui chuckled and patted the thigh of the camel next to him, causing the camel to look back at him and pause slightly in his steps.

Every year I rolled my eyes at the blue sky and decided to ignore the three feet of water.

The day I stayed in Jinchang City was not idle.

When you arrive in a new place, there are many fresh and unseen plants around you, so for every year... you have to pick out a leaf and try it, right?

As a result, this taste of these slightly salty, juicy plants in the North instantly cured Nian Nian's sweet taste. She diligently "trimmed" the branches and leaves of the thin and colorful tamarisks on the roadside, and squatted down again.

A large basket of gray-green nameless shrubs was dug on the ground.

Qi Youfeng and Sanchi Shui were passing by and were attracted by Nian Nian's "hard-working" figure. After asking about the reason, they also helped her prepare dry food.

Unexpectedly, by coincidence, the young city guard who used to go to the city wall for sightseeing every year changed his guard and returned home. He praised the three people passing by, and finally added: before leaving:

"You don't have to be so hands-on. We have already prepared the fodder for the camel team."

"Camel caravan?"

"forage grass?"

Sanchishui and Qi Youfeng were stunned. Niannian, who was holding a blade of grass in his mouth, also squatted on the ground and looked back at him.

"Ah, yes, that one, the one you are digging is called Salt Claw, which is for sheep and camels to eat..."

Food for camels?

Sanchishui turned around with a basket of salt claws in his arms, looking at the little nian nian squatting on the ground that was less than his thigh high, and suddenly felt that his vocabulary was a bit lacking.

Qi Youfeng chatted with the young general for a few words, and after sending him away, he looked helplessly at the "forage grass" in his hand, and after thinking about it, he put it into the willow basket.

Every year, he was unconscious, digging grass diligently and drooling into the willow basket.

"Well, I said, this is for camels to eat."

I can't stand Three Feet of Water anymore. Although it is not impossible for people to eat this food, it still feels a bit awkward for a big living person to compete with animals for food rations.

"Oh." Nian Nian nodded, turned to look at him, and said calmly, "What is a camel?"

Nian Nian was choked and speechless by pretending to be stupid. Sanchi Shui turned around and walked away holding a basket of forage, probably intending to put it into the mouth of a real camel.

Nian Nian scratched his head and turned around to continue saving food for himself.

She looked at Qi Youfeng who was squatting next to her. When she found that this man was just digging grass quietly, she breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

"A camel is an animal that is common near deserts. It looks a bit like a big horse, with a hump like a raised hill on its back."

After hearing Qi Youfeng's popular science, Nian Nian nodded, thought about it, and said thank you softly.

"I was worried before," Qi Youfeng stopped what he was doing. "Now it seems that my worries are quite reasonable. Even though I knew the time was not right, I was still too impatient."

Every year he lowers his head and speeds up the digging of grass.

"It's a pity that time can't be turned back. It would be great if you could pretend to be stupid."

Qi Youfeng stood up, pulled up Nian Nian, dusted off the dust from the hem of her cloak, smiled and nodded her forehead: "You are really frustrated by your behavior. I can only hope that you

Get used to it as soon as possible, and at least get used to the feeling of being taken care of."

I hold the willow basket tightly in my arms every year, and my whole head is almost stuffed into the pile of gray-green salt claws.

"Let's go back, I will be behind you."

"Watch the road carefully."

Her feet tilted, and Nian Nian's thoughts were drawn back to the sea of ​​sand beneath her feet. She looked at the pair of men's hands holding her arms, and subconsciously turned her head sideways.

"Don't worry, I will be behind you." Qi Youfeng's lips curled up slightly, and his smile was like a ray of breeze falling in the desert.

"Oh, oh, what a flower protector."

San Chi Shui made a fuss and was about to make some more jokes when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front of the team. The sound of camel bells suddenly became chaotic. The originally long camel team gradually piled up somewhere in front.

After the three of them walked a few dozen meters, a small dreamlike oasis fell into their eyes, lying at the end of the sand dune. The sky-blue water was surrounded by sparse green vegetation, like a jewelry pendant with poor inlay technology.

That piece of sapphire is as moist as the sea and as calm as the night.

The people of the Qilin Army have already stepped into the oasis. From the excited discussions among the players in the caravan ahead, Nian Nian knew that it was time to take a collective rest.

Three feet of water rushed down the sand dune directly into the small lake in the oasis. I put my head in it and bubbles bubbled. After a while, I raised my head, shaking the water droplets, and pushing away the people who came to drink water with disgust.

camel.

"Don't be so stingy. I'm sure the camel guys won't mind giving you a sip of water." Nian Nian followed and laughed when he saw this scene.

"Who competed with them for water?" Sanchi Water fell into the small lake. "They can only drink my uncle's bath water."

"Three feet of water!"

"Get out of here!"

"Get out, get out!"

Others who also came to the small lake immediately laughed and cursed. Some people squatted by the lake and had a water fight with three feet of water, while others imitated three feet of water and jumped into the small lake to swim.

"Childish." Nian Nian muttered and hid aside with "forage grass" in his mouth.

She is not familiar with the players in Xingtianxia, ​​and these people's attitude towards her is relatively cold, which can be said to be relatively polite. She doesn't want to ask for trouble by chatting with her every year.

Bored Nian Nian glanced around and saw Song Qing, Nian Nian and Zheng Qi from the Qilin Army nearby. He listened to their conversation for a while, curled his lips, and threw in these useless polite words.

Deep in the desert.

At this time, we can see the difference between the regular army and civil society.

The Qilin Army and the Envoy Guards remained quiet. The soldiers took turns going to the lake to fetch water, and then sat on the ground to eat dry food. After eating, they either inspected weapons, led camels to the lake to drink water, or checked the supplies on the camels' backs.

"Are the people in this Qilin Army all NPCs?" Niannian asked Qi Youfeng beside him in a low voice, biting the blade of grass he had just picked off.

"They are soldiers, but not generals. Look carefully at those two people over there." Qi Youfeng raised his chin slightly, indicating that Nian Nian would turn his gaze.

Although they are also wearing armor, there are two people who are indeed dressed in a more special way, with two colorful tasseled spears in their hands. These two people are sitting together and talking, and their expressions are indeed much more lively than those dull soldiers.

"Doesn't that mean that there are hundreds of people in the Qilin Army, but there are actually only three living people?" Nian Nian was surprised.

"Well, I think so. But this also shows that these three people are probably masters in the Qilin Army."

Qi Youfeng glanced at Zheng Qi, who was chatting and laughing with Song Qing, and secretly thought that he could talk politely to these two people for ten minutes without being talked about. This person should not be underestimated.

"So he is a great general who can fight well?" he summarized every year.

As her curiosity subsided, she turned her attention to the small lake again, but immediately frowned at the sight.

"What's wrong? What's the problem in the lake?" Sensing the change in Nian Nian's expression, Qi Youfeng raised his voice slightly and asked.

"The color of the lake water is wrong. There is a strange red color seeping up from the bottom of the lake." Nian Nian stood up, looked at Song Qing and the others who had their attention drawn, and said with certainty.

Zheng Qi immediately turned his head to look at the lake, but found nothing strange. Song Qing and Shi Sui knew Nian Nian and immediately ordered everyone to stay away from the lake.

Zheng Qi didn't ask any more questions. A harsh whistle sounded and he gestured to the other two players in the Qilin Army. Soon the entire Qilin Army and the envoy guards stood neatly outside the oasis.

On the sand dunes, even the camels assigned to them were lined up quickly.

At this time, the Xingtianxia players had just squeezed out their dripping clothes and left the lake. They were still in small groups and walking towards the sand outside the oasis.

Standing on the sand dune, Shi Sui frowned, but he had nothing to do. After all, these were living players, and they would definitely not be able to give orders and prohibitions like NPC soldiers. He had no way to forcefully order everyone to obey.

"Put your plan to create an accident for the Qilin Army aside for now." Shi Sui tilted his head and whispered to Song Qing, catching the words Nian Nian curled his lips.

This is the discovery of the Qilin Army's advantage. You don't want to let these people die in vain, right?

"We have already left the oasis, I don't know"

Zheng Qi walked over from the Qilin Army. Before he finished speaking, he heard several sad animal gulps. He followed the sound and turned his head. The camels that had not had time to be taken away by Xingtianxia players suddenly fell to the ground, and

The surface of the lake, which was like sapphire just a moment ago, has begun to boil. The windless waves roll automatically, dyeing the lake a bright red color, like a pot of blood that becomes brighter and brighter as it boils.

Zheng Qi quickly turned around and blew two whistles. After hearing this, the Qilin Army soldiers retreated again.

"Holy shit!" Song Qing also quickly asked his guards to retreat. Fortunately, the guards were all NPCs. He only needed to say something to the general who led the team, and the soldiers would quickly execute it.

Xingtianxia players do not have such convenient operability.

The people who were frightened by the camel's screams and the strange water in the lake had different reactions. Some people turned around and ran away, and some people stood there blankly until Sanchi Shui and a few other people rushed over and shouted loudly, and pushed these people again.

, they finally found the use of their legs.

"This, what is this!"

The frightened people trembled and looked back at the lake shore. The fallen camel had turned into a pile of broken bones with an ominous light. The small lake was clearly filled with dense scorpions, and countless scorpions were crawling like red.

The waves of the lake rise and fall.

"No, whatever this is, it seems to be coming for us!"

The players in the caravan subconsciously ran towards the position where the Qilin Army was lined up, panicking for a sense of security. Just when they thought they were safe, they looked back and saw that several lone camels were being eaten by swarms of poisonous scorpions.

They were turned into white bones, and looking at the direction in which the scorpions were moving, they were actually following their footsteps.

When Xingtianxia's people wanted to run further, they saw a man standing out from the Qilin Army. The gray-black armor on his body was full of scratches from swords, and he showed a perseverance and unyielding determination.

"Unite the army!" The man's colorful tassel spear touched the ground, and his rough and powerful voice penetrated everyone's eardrums.

Song Qing was immediately horrified because he found that his 500-man guard had started running quickly without his orders, standing neatly behind the Qilin Army, waiting with blazing eyes for the gray-armored general's next move.

instruction.

"Deploy formation! Sword and shield!"

Clang clang clang clang, more than two hundred infantrymen ran out, each holding a huge animal-faced copper shield. The soldier behind the shield knelt down on one knee and inserted the shield in his hand deeply into the yellow sand. The shields were connected

, spliced ​​together into a low wall, protecting the players of Xingtianxia behind them.

"Lance! Flying fire!"

Four hundred more soldiers rushed out, holding spears about two people high, with a copper pipe as thick as a finger underneath the spear blade.

The spear was placed in the recess where the shield was connected. The spear tip was downward and plunged into the first wave of red scorpions. Just when everyone was sighing at the futility of the effort, a fire dragon spurted out from the tip of the spear.

There was a sudden crackle in the air, and a strange burning smell filled the air.

The four hundred spearmen were automatically divided into two rows, front and rear. After the front row attacked, they stepped back and reloaded with kerosene. The back row immediately stepped forward, thrusting their spears and breathing fire dragons.

"Longbow! Rockets!"

"Sword and shield! Retract your wings!"

Following the gray-armored general's two orders, three more rows of longbowmen were lined up behind the spearmen. The arrows were placed in the fire tank in front of them. The arrows soaked in grease immediately burned and were shot towards the water that was pouring in like sea water.

among the scorpions.

The shield-bearing infantry who received the new order began to push their shields forward slowly. Only the two sides of the shield wall slightly accelerated their speed, seemingly forming a semicircle and annihilating the scorpions in their pockets.

From the moment the army was joined together, the four orders before and after it only took a few breaths. Before the players in Xingtianxia could react, the flying fire pikemen had already changed their positions three times.

Sui didn't know whether he wanted to wait and see what was going on, or he was just like the others who couldn't react in time. He didn't say a word at the moment, just staring closely at the battle situation being constructed by the Qilin Army in front of him.

I looked around Nian Nian and wanted to help, but I was afraid that I would go up and destroy the formation on my own.

Nian Nian walked up to the Qilin Army player named Zheng Qi and introduced himself: "I can help too. I can also shoot arrows."

Zheng Qi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "I know you can archery, and I also know you are very good at archery. You can go directly to the long archer team."

"Eh? Can I just go there?" Nian Nian was pleasantly surprised and turned around to rush into the military formation.

"You can use all the archery skills you are good at. Mu Shi will give you appropriate orders individually when he sees it."

Zheng Qi quickly added, hearing Nian Nian's words "Okay, okay" from afar, he shook his head and smiled as he watched this enthusiastic little girl sneak into the formation.

Sanchi Shui was also itching. He also approached Zheng Qi and asked, "What about me? Is there anyone rich enough to give me a shield?"

Zheng Qi was helpless: "That's not ours, it's the soldier's."

"Then what can I do?" Sanchishui saw Qi Youfeng sneaking into the military formation, but it was obvious that he was just to protect Nian Nian, not to kill the enemy.

"This..." Zheng Qi was embarrassed.

"San Chi Shui, you have to prepare to fight." Shi Sui's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Sanchi Shui turned around in surprise and found that Shi Sui had a serious face and his eyes were still fixed on the group of scorpions in front of the military formation.

"These scorpions have become resistant to fire. I'm afraid this military formation will soon be unable to suppress them."
