Chapter 38 Meeting Again
Tony knelt on the ground, only to feel a churning in his stomach, and began to retch again.He had already vomited out what he had eaten in the morning just now, but he still couldn't recover.

"Drink some water." El handed the water bag to the boy.

"Oh, thank you... Ugh—" Tony covered his mouth, took a few deep breaths, tried his best to swallow back the little gastric juice left, took the water bag and poured a big mouthful of water.

"I have never played such an exciting game since I grew up."

The boy's face was as pale as paper, but his expression had calmed down, and he was still in the mood for joking.Behind him, three mercenaries were lying on the ground like dead dogs, and the carriage that flew into the air had already been smashed into a pile of firewood.If it hadn't been for El to run the four of them out in time, I'm afraid they would all have turned into meat sauce by now.

"Normal people don't play like this." El curled his lips, looking at the "car accident scene" and was speechless for a while. "Did you offend a disfigured girl?"

"Hehe, it's a long story." Tony smiled wryly and shook his head. When he saw the bow and arrow behind El, his eyes lit up: "Are you Miss Tiana's friend? I have a... ...The classmate got separated on the mountain, and Tiana is looking for her. There are still many kobolds on the mountain, can you please help her?"

"If it's just a kobold, that woman should be fine." El said nonchalantly.Based on his understanding of Tiana, the girl in her prime is definitely a perverted evildoer. Compared to the cursed sect they have dealt with before, a few kobolds are really not a problem.

"But..." Tony was still about to speak, but suddenly his eyes blurred.The unscrupulous businessman girl who also wore the crimson academy uniform jumped out from behind El, and leaned in front of him, with sly eyes shining in her two big eyes, staring closely at Tony, with an inquiring look on her face.

"This classmate, what grade are you in?"

"Senior Laurana, hello." Tony smiled dryly, with a drop of cold sweat on his face: "I didn't expect you to be here."

"Since you know my name, you should also know that as the chief of the fifth grade, it is my job to keep in mind the files of all the college students." Laurana narrowed her eyes and turned cold: "Mr. Stranger, tell me I have your student number."

"Senior is as serious as the legend says." Tony laughed, stretched out three fingers calmly, and made a gesture.

"The college stipulates that you are not allowed to participate in any dangerous activities such as rewards and arrests." Laurana's face became more gloomy.

"That is to say, senior sister, aren't you here too?" Tony stretched out five fingers with a smile.

"I came to Hongshiling to complete my academic thesis, and I have already obtained the approval of my tutor." The unscrupulous businessman gave a grandiose reason without changing his expression. "Don't tell me, you also got special approval?"

"It turns out that senior sister also wanted to finish her thesis. It's really a coincidence." Tony glanced at the signboard on the carriage behind the girl that hadn't been completely put away, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.He gritted his teeth, and flipped the five outstretched fingers twice in front of the girl's eyes.

"It can't be helped if it's for school." Laurana grabbed Tony's hand, her face turned from cloudy to sunny, and she suddenly became friendly.

El stood aside, watching the smiles on the faces of the two humanoid foxes as bright as the sun, and their eyes meeting and sparking fierce sparks in the air, he felt his scalp go numb.In a few words, the two seemed to have reached an agreement.Laurana no longer pursues Tony's true identity, but changes her aggressive attitude.

"Let's get to know each other again, senior, you can call me Tony." Tony withdrew his hand, stood up unsteadily and said.

"Tony?" A gleam flashed in Laurana's eyes. She clapped her hands and nodded with a smile, "Mr. Tony, it seems that your carriage can no longer be used. If you don't mind, you can also take our carriage."

"Thank you so much, but we still have two companions who haven't come back." Tony turned to look at El: "This gentleman..."

"El."

"Mr. El, thank you for your rescue just now, but I am still a little worried about Miss Tiana. After all, she and my classmates are girls." Tony said anxiously.

"Okay, as you wish, Mr. Tony." Er rubbed his nose and said reluctantly: "Uncle Bruce, please take Miss Laurana and her guests to go on, I will go to the mountain to see Look."

"Go, it's okay." Bruce stood next to Laurana with a chain hammer in his hand, and smiled: "Young man, you must be tolerant of ladies, that is the real gentleman's demeanor."

"Don't mind your own business." El snorted coldly, his face turned red rarely.Bruce has rich experience as a noble guard, and he can see through his little thoughts that can't be concealed at a glance.

In the forest, Tiana carefully avoided the kobolds' search with the unconscious holy nun on her back.After applying the levitation technique, she could barely walk with Maryvian on her back, but if a battle broke out, the girl behind her would become a deadly burden.So she took extra care and walked as lightly as possible.The "refract light" spell that conceals its tracks creates a faint distortion of the surrounding light, only slowed down so that it's not noticeable.

Kobolds' eyesight is greatly reduced during the day, and it is not difficult to escape their eyes.The trouble is that, like their similarly-named distant relatives, they use their sensitive noses more often than not when searching for prey.

The corpses of the pack horses attracted the attention of these kobolds. They gathered in a circle and devoured without caring about their appearance. The strong smell of blood spread in the air, temporarily affecting their sense of smell.But at the same time, these kobolds also happened to block the way down the mountain, which made Tiana a bit in a dilemma.

If alone, she has many ways to deal with these kobolds who are in the way, but now she has a comatose girl on her back.In such a dangerous environment, no matter where you hide her, it is not safe, but carrying her on your back will affect your spellcasting action.

Tiana thought for a moment, then gently placed Wei'an behind the tree, squatted down herself, and slowly drew lines on the ground with her fingers.

Just as she was starting her plan, the group of kobolds who surrounded the mountain road suddenly made a noise.A kobold gnawing on its thigh bone inadvertently raised its head to look around, and was suddenly shot in the head by a flying feather arrow, pulling its body backwards involuntarily due to the huge force.

Before they could react, one after another kobolds were shot through their heads.The slender white-feathered ebony arrow looks like a shrunken spear, flying from a distance with a terrifying sound of piercing through the air.

The kobold guards carried simple wooden round shields with hard scales growing on their bodies, which could effectively protect against ordinary arrows and flying stones, but they were meaningless in front of such excellent arrows dedicated to the human army.The iron triangular arrows of the white-feathered ebony arrows easily penetrated their bodies, tearing apart the flesh and blood in them.

El wandered like a wolf in a zigzag path to approach his prey, moving quickly from side to side, deftly dodging stones and metal projectiles thrown by the kobold guards.While dodging, he was still shooting with his bow, and every time he drew his hunting bow, a kobold would fall with its head up.

The reason why the expensive white-feathered ebony arrows are used is because the kobolds are standing on the hillside, condescending and have an advantage. It is difficult for ordinary thornwood arrows to effectively kill them at this angle.After all, it is to save people instead of hunting, and time efficiency is the primary factor that needs to be considered.

Thinking that the arrows shot would be stained with the smell of kobolds, and even if they were recycled, they might not be able to be washed clean, and El felt a little twitched in his heart.So he sped up his speed again, and after shooting the ninth arrow, he had already charged up the hillside, and amidst the panicked barking of the kobold, he drew out his ax and slashed over.

The kobold guard who bore the brunt of the brunt became fierce at the moment of life and death. His red eyes opened his mouth and he was about to pounce on him and bite him, but he was cut into two by El, and the blood mixed with internal organs splashed everywhere. The few kobolds left immediately dispersed.They ran fast on all fours, fully expressing their bullying and fearful nature.

El wiped his face, shook his hands in disgust, and at the same time, his eyes emitted a faint blue light, and he looked into the jungle on the hillside.

With little effort, he found the familiar figure under the tree not far away.In the blue world of the Eye of True Sight, there is a wonderful glimmer of light in the otherwise empty woods.The girl in a tattered robe knelt on the unfinished magic circle, staring at him with a puffy face.

"I can solve the trouble myself." Tiana said with a straight face.Although she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't know why she didn't want to show it on her face. "So you did something superfluous again, Mr. Al."

"I know you are brave and invincible, but no matter what, this kind of danger should not be borne by girls." El touched his chin and sighed, which was what he and the girl said when they were fighting against the cursed priest.

"Brave and invincible?" There was a black line on Tiana's forehead, what kind of description is this?
"This is revenge for you leaving without saying goodbye." El smiled and walked over, reaching out to the girl: "Do you still need me to pick you up? Miss Viper?"

"unnecessary!"

Tiana jumped up, shaking Al's hand away.When she left last time, because she didn't plan to meet again, the letter she wrote to El was mixed with a lot of personal feelings and girlish thoughts.

Originally, Tiana had decided to hide this memory in her heart, but she never expected that the two would meet again so soon due to a mistake.Thinking of the ambiguous language in that letter, the strong sense of shame stimulated the girl into anger.
