Mu Xiaoqiao: "Alps! Haven't you come yet?!"

The fearless Alps: "Arrival soon! How is the battle?"

Boring Iron Fist: "There are more than fifty people in the Ice Skeleton on the battlefield. I don't know how many people are hiding, and they are constantly refreshing. Via's leg was shot, but his troops are pursuing the victory, and there are still eight players who are competing for us!"

Fearless Alps: "Has the boss fallen?"

Giant Bear Olaf: "It hasn't been beaten yet, but two elite monsters were killed. It seems that there may be no boss in this incident."

Mu Xiaoqiao: "Is Joel here?"

Fearless Alps: "He should have followed, he won't use team voice."

Mu Xiaoqiao: "Hmph, tell him to be careful, don't die, this game has not been resurrected!"

Fearless Alps: "You speak now and he can hear it."

Mu Xiaoqiao: "Ro, verbose! Do I want you to say it? Of course I know he can hear it!"

Fearless Alps: "…."

...

Joel always felt strange when he listened to their conversation. Not to mention that there were many nouns they didn't understand, and he could not understand what they said. What does this game mean that there is no resurrection?

But Joel stopped thinking about these things because he knew that even if he had to think about it, he would not understand it. He should just treat it as slander from the mercenaries.

But that so-called "backpack" magic is really convenient. Joel subconsciously reached out and touched the sword placed on his waist. Is this a common guy for mercenaries? It's true that it's different from the rust sword that a rabbit hunter can hold.

Joel ran for a while, and there was a paved gravel road from the cemetery to Lengxi Town. Because the cemetery was higher than Lengxi Town, the entire road would be covered with snow after winter. If you come and go, you would easily get hurt, so this gravel road was necessary. Joel looked at the sky and the Widow Mountains in the distance. Snowflakes were rustling in the gray sky. A lead-gray cloud in the direction of the Widow Mountains lowered and floated over. It was a sign of the coming of a blizzard.

When Joel ran to a point where he was breathless, he stopped and took a break for a moment. Only then did he find that a green strip appeared under the red strip in the upper left corner of his field of view. At this moment, the green strip had bottomed out, but it was slowly recovering. Is that... physical strength? Joel took a deep breath, and indeed the recovery speed of the green strip had accelerated.

What a convenient magic. Joel couldn't help but think.

At this time, he saw that the four squares on the left in the field of vision were flashing red, and his red stripes. This means that they are still alive and are fighting?

When Joel thought of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and the sound of fighting became louder and louder. As he approached the wall of Lengxi Town, Joel quickly climbed over a collapsed wooden stake and then entered Lengxi Town through the gap in the wall. Hearing the sound, they were fighting on the side of the church. Joel looked at the former home that had turned into ruins and gritted his teeth. It was not the time to be sad, but when passing by the broken houses, Joel could not help but look over: the blacksmith shop was the most preserved because it was stone, and only two walls were demolished; the tavern was burned by a fire, and the charred charcoal collapsed together.

It was rare to see the door post and the half-collapsed fireplace, and the stones in the fireplace were burned to the darkness; the former butcher shop was left with only a few charred pillars stacked together; Master Baru's shop also collapsed into a pile, Joel remembered that Hemi was clamoring to buy the doll that Master Baru had just made the day before he was killed; further forward was the woodcutter Noah's home, and then the fisherman Snow. The two families have been enemies for generations and have always quarreled; then... Then... Then Joel's home, the rabbit hunter Joel's home. There was only darkness left there, and that beautiful two-story building was gone, leaving only ruins.

Gods are above. Gods are above. Joel couldn't take his eyes away, but he felt something broken in his chest. Gods are blessed! Gods are blessed! Alu, Hemi.

He had to look away, he speeded up and ran along the cobblestone road towards the direction of the battle. Passing by the mall and walking through the well in the middle of the mall, Joel saw the road leading to the church, which was the most spacious road in Lengxi Town. Now the fire was shining on the road, filled with a layer of smoke or fog. The figures were circulating inside, and metallic light and blood-red colors kept flashing in the haze of the black.

There is the battlefield. Joel has never been to the battlefield, but at this moment he is not afraid. It is more of a strange feeling. It is hatred, a hatred that wants to revenge.

From here, Joel saw corpses lying there in a row, with kingdom guards in iron armor, snow robbers wearing fur, chain mail underneath the fur or other armors pulled from the corpse. Snow robbers will whiten their skin with white ash, so it is easy to identify.

Joel rushed to the corpse closest to him, which was the corpse of a snow robber, and there were still a tattered quiver on his back. There were still a dozen arrows left in the quiver, but they were all shoddy defective products. The arrows were made of bone fragments, with few iron arrows, and some did not even have arrows, just sharpening the wood. But at this moment, Joel could no longer care about that much. He picked up the arrow and put it in the quiver, took off the bow, picked up an arrow and put it on the bow.

The battle continued, but due to the influence of the white smoke, he could not see their faces and emblems even the few people closest to Joel could clearly see their faces and emblems. However, the Snow Bandits were easy to identify. The only ones in such places were covered with untouched fur. Joel aimed at the Snow Bandits with a deer skull on his head. This strange outfit reminded Joel that he had once approached the Widow Mountains. It was a terrifying experience.

Aiming and pulling the bow, Joel thought it was like this thousands of times before. As a rabbit hunter, Joel needed to have superb design skills to shoot the white rabbit in the snow. Calm, Joel took a deep breath, calm, just like shooting a rabbit.

Ding~ You are in the first battle. Do you need to turn on auxiliary aiming?

Joel was startled by the sudden prompt box, and the arrow on the bow also took off the strings. The arrow shot out in a direction that was very different from the original aiming time, and instantly sank into the sound of Bai Yan fighting with him. Joel quickly hid behind a collapsed stone wall, suppressed his anger, looked at the contents in the box, and assisted aiming? What kind of magic is that?

Although I don't know what it is, if I don't deal with this box, it will affect Joel's vision, so he reached out and quickly clicked on Yes. Then the box disappeared, but a faint red dot appeared in the middle of his vision.

"This, this is..." Joel was stunned for a few seconds and then adapted to the so-called "assisted aiming", which was indeed a very convenient thing. This time Joel drew an arrow from the quiver, and his movements were smooth. This time he got an arrow with a bone arrow. The movement was a bit wrong, and Joel realized that his movements had never been as smooth as they are now, and he was like a veteran on the battlefield.

But it doesn't matter. You have to clear these snow bandits first. Joel used an arrow to draw a bow and aimed at the head of the moving deer before. Joel slowly let out a sigh of relief, hit!

The arrow broke out of the air, and the harsh noise that cut through the air caused the deer to turn around, but the arrow hit the eye. After a brief wail before his death, he fell down with a bang. The two people fighting him looked in the direction of the arrow shooting, and then raised the weapon in his hand and greeted him.

The team voice rang again, and the fearless Alps said with a smile: "It's not bad, Joel, did you release this arrow just now? It's much stronger than Xiao Qiao!"

"The latter sentence is completely redundant!" Xiao Qiao said dissatisfied.

Are they those guys? After seeing the two men in iron armor say hello, Joel raised his weapon again and turned to join the war. The battle in the white smoke is still going on.

Bang. Suddenly, the sound of a stone slipping from behind came from behind. Joel reached out to get the arrow like a conditioned reflex. It was too late! Joel pulled out the iron sword at his waist, but it was pulled out with his left hand. When he turned around, a black shadow covered him, a snow robber hiding from a height of the ruins!

He was now screaming and waving the two beast bone axes in his hand falling from a high place. Joel quickly rolled to the side, and the snow bandit's axe slashed on the stone wall he had just used as a cover. Joel threw away his bow and held a sword in both hands. Iron tools were the most lethal to deal with such a guy wearing leather armor.

After the snow bandit stood firm, he quickly turned around. He was wearing a wolf's skin on his back, and his head was covered on his right shoulder, as if he was biting his shoulder tightly, but in fact he was fixed on his shoulder with a belt. Under the fur was a broken chain mail, and behind the chain mail was thicker fur armor, which made him look huge, but in fact the armor was not very heavy. His face was covered with a layer of white gray, which was a shamanic tradition believed by the natives who once ruled the Widow Mountains. They believed that if they did so, the Snow Mountain God would bless them and give them strength.

These are all what Joel heard from Master Baru. It was just some tricks to scare people. Joel looked at the snow robber calmly, and he also moved his pace alertly, not daring to step forward rashly, obviously knowing the power of the iron sword in Joel's hand.

"Roar!" The snow bandit monster roared and waved the axe in his hand, then rushed up. To be honest, it was indeed very powerful, and Joel was suddenly startled.

But that's all. Joel also rushed up directly, and the iron straight sword in his hand suddenly pierced out. The length of his arm, plus the length of the straight sword, directly pierced the snow bandit's chest. The strong arms that were wielding the two axes just now stopped like this. Then the two sharpened axes fell to the ground. As Joel pulled back the iron straight sword, the snow bandit's strong body also overwhelmed and fell to the ground.

Joel looked at the blood on the sword and on his hands. It was the blood that was squirting out of the sword. It was still steaming when the snowflakes were falling. Something was wrong.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Joel touched his chest, which was pierced by the sword, and there was still a wound. But this was no longer important. Joel reached out to pick up the bow on the ground, then walked to the body of the snow bandit, squatted down, and plundered his body. There was nothing else except a few dirty broken copper plates with the hexagonal gem emblem.

The hexagonal gem emblem is the emblem of the Principality, but this copper plate can also be used in the kingdom. Joel stuffed the copper plate into his belt, and there were several small bags of change sewn.

Joel retracted the straight sword back into the scabbard, reached out to pick up the wooden bow from the ground, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and slowly poked his head out from behind the stone wall to find the next target.

...

The hammer with the imprint of Libra symbolizing justice hit the bandit's log shield heavily, splashing deer skin, snow bandits wearing deer skin and antlers on their heads took a few steps back. The center of the snowflake pattern on the shield was charred, and it showed a Libra pattern.

"The attack of the priest is still as cool as ever!" Alps teased and bounced off an arrow with his shield, stabbed a snow robber in the shoulder with a straight sword on his backhand, and then pulled the sword backwards.

"The reinforcements from the enemy group have arrived, and four more players have joined the battle." Xiao Qiao reported through the team's voice that she was at the height of the ruins, the broken roof of the once-climbed building, which was the highest point of the battlefield, overlooking the church square.

"If the player increases, the scale of this battle may also be upgraded!" Iron Fist used a giant axe to force a snow bandit who also held a two-handed axe.

"Isn't that just right? If it's always a non-challenging scale, I won't be able to beat the boss, right?" Alps pierced a snow robber with a straight sword, kicked his body and pulled the blood-stained sword out of his body.

"What stupid things are you saying? The NPC team has begun to get tired, and even the NPC commander is injured, okay?" Xiao Qiao took the arrow and shot a snow robber who wanted to climb onto the roof.

"Our health has also begun to decline. It's better to retreat first and let the new players take the lead so that we can fill our state to deal with the boss." Olaf waved his hammer and hit a snow robber's breastplate with another hammer. With the sound of bone shattering, the snow robber flew out.

"The plan is feasible. Retreat!" Alps barely blocked the attack with his shield and retreated decisively.

...

From their conversation, we can hear that the situation of the battle began to be a little unfavorable. Joel fired another arrow, but he didn't know if it was shot, so he retracted back behind the bunker, and several arrows hit the stone wall he used as bunker.

The commander they said... Joel remembered that the priest named Olaf said that the one who fought with the Snow Bandits was Sir Via, who was a nobleman of Lengshi Town, and Lengxi Town was also within his jurisdiction. His badge was a sharp hunting spear. Joel had just seen this emblem on several corpses. I think those were Sir Via's subordinates.

When he reached out to get the arrow again, Joel found that there was only the last arrow left in his quiver, an arrow with a sharp iron arrow. "Are you lucky arrow?" Joel put the arrow on the bow, took a deep breath, and ran out from behind the cover. He walked the road almost every day, and no one could know the layout here better than him. Even if he closed his eyes, Joel could know where to find the cover.

Run, pay attention to avoiding the attacks of flying arrows. Because of the smoke, the distance cannot be judged by the eyes, but the distance has been recorded in Joel's mind. Several arrows passed by, and Joel hid behind a stone wall. This was once a silk shop, one of the few luxury goods stores in the town. Even Sir Via from Cold Stone Town had to come here to purchase silk. Now the shop has been looted, and only the solid stone wall is left standing here. On the other side of the stone wall is the Church Square.

"Joel, don't get close by alone. The Snow Bandit's reinforcements have arrived. I think the boss is about to be refreshed!" The Alpine's voice made Joel hesitate for a moment. He raised his head and looked around, confirming that the Alpine was not nearby.

Joel looked around and saw several corpses lying on the street, including snow robbers and soldiers. A soldier in iron armor near the stone wall died from an axe. The axe was inserted into his neck, which was the weakest place in the iron armor. But the most important thing was not the axe, but the quiver on his back, which were all high-quality arrows made of black iron wood, and even the feathers of the arrows were dyed black.

Joel stretched out his head and looked at it. There were still arrows shot from time to time, but now there was no need to care about it. Joel took a deep breath. After an arrow passed by, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his corpse's legs, dragged him over, leaving a dark red drag mark on the wet pebbles floor. During this period, an arrow hit the corpse's helmet, but it was just a wooden arrow without an arrow, and it was bounced away directly.

After pulling the corpse over, Joel turned him over, leaned against the stone wall, and untied his quiver. At this time, Joel saw the young face of the corpse. He kept his eyes open until he died, with a pair of light green eyes, with only fear left on his face. The kid had just started to grow a beard, but died in the hands of the snow bandit. "May you be with the gods." Joel gritted his teeth and covered his eyes, and then put the dozen or so arrows he had looted into the quiver behind him. On such a noisy battlefield, I wonder if the gods could hear the prayer.

"By the way, I'm just free now. Joel, I'm just teaching you how to use team voice, right?" Alpine's voice came again.

Can I use such magic? Joel wondered, I don’t remember what spells I learned.

"Call the team panel first? Just call the team panel to the system." Alpine said in a relaxed tone. Although he had never seen his face under the mask, Joel could still believe his expression.

But their mercenary slander is really endless. While thinking this, Joel tried to whisper: "Team, team panel."

Then a white box appeared in front of me. The vertical row on the left of the box was blocks with the avatars of the Alps, and their names were their backs. l, lv12? What does this mean? Is the rank of a mercenary?

Next to the name are their red bars, hp, green bars, and various strange small squares. Although I can understand a little bit, I still feel it is very complicated.

"Click on the settings option in the upper right corner of the box, and it is the gear chart on the left of the 'fork'."

Following the instructions of the Alps, Joel clicked several things that he could not understand in a row.

"Okay, after clicking to enter the command, as long as you set a specific voice command, you can use the command to perform the team's voice at any time. You can set the voice command anytime. Haha, although setting it is a little troublesome, it is very convenient to use!"

Joel clicked on the so-called voice setting. After the box flashed, a prompt appeared on the screen: Ding~ Please enter the voice command.

Voice commands? Probably spells or something? Joel frowned. In the mercenary's slander, is voice commands the meaning of spells? But what kind of spell should be set?

"Sorda." Soda is the legendary Scud Snow Rabbit. It is said that it will appear on the snow field under the Widow Mountains on the full moon night. It is said that it has survived for thousands of years, and even the natives of the Widow Mountains believe in its existence. Of course, this was not made up by Joel Hu, but recorded in the bedtime story bought from Mr. Baru, and it is also Hermi's favorite story.

"Ha, Company comes in, Company comes in, Joel, your voice is very clear! But remember to enter the voice command again after saying what you want to say to turn off the team's voice, otherwise you will remain in this state, which will be very troublesome." Alps said happily.

"I understand. Soda." Joel said with some discomfort. It always feels strange to speak to the air like this.

"Hmph, that's great. It seems that Joel has also begun to adapt to this game." Tiequan said with a smile.

Game? Is this what mercenaries call war? Joel thought to himself that although he was a group of good guys, he was still a bloodthirsty mercenary.

"But there are actually pure novices like Joel, which is really rare." The giant bear Olaf also said in a relaxed tone. Joel saw his red stripes flashing with a light green light, recovering at a slow speed. The three of them, except Mu Xiaoqiao, lost a lot of red strips, and the Iron Fist lost nearly half, followed by the Alps, with Olaf losing the least.

"Don't underestimate this pure novice. His archery skills are really amazing. I think he is also an archery expert in reality!" Alpine said in an exaggerated tone, which made Olaf and Iron Fist laugh with him.

"Joel, you must pay attention to your 'blood bar' when fighting. If the blood bar is cleared, you will die. After death, you will not be able to resurrect again. This game is 'one life'. If you die, you can only create a new account. All the levels and equipment you obtained before will be lost." Mu Xiaoqiao used the team voice to give Joel a guidance, and his tone was much more relaxed than at the beginning. However, Joel didn't quite understand what she said.

These mercenaries really couldn't understand the slander words. Joel frowned and thought.

"After all, it's the hardcore action game that's closest to the real one." Alpine said with a smile, but he felt a little relaxed when he heard his tone. "Even fighting is just the same as real. It makes me sweat every time. Those guys are simply scarier than monsters."

"Agree." Olaf said calmly, "Human-shaped guys are completely different from monsters in terms of difficulty. And the psychological pressure is also very high when fighting with them. After all, they are all human-shaped people. When fighting, they make people feel like they have become monsters."

"The monster you are talking about..." Joel was a little confused when he heard their conversation. Is this also a mercenary slander? Or is it a monster in the literal sense? But aren't the so-called monsters all existed in the era of magic? The era of magic has long ended!
To be continued...
