After the thorny bushes of Elsa Village disappeared, the ground was littered with corpses, making the place look like hell.
Smashed, stacked, and broken bones of wild animals were everywhere. From the smallest mouse to the largest bone-armored elephant, most of the common and uncommon animals in the forest were basically piled up here. Under the command of Village Chief Brody, the Wood Elves had begun to deal with the aftermath in an orderly manner. Speaking of which, the Wood Elves were both happy and sad. The happy part was that they could spend the entire winter eating meat, but the sad part was that one of the Wood Elves had fallen to the ground due to the impact of the double-horned rhinoceros, and the corpse was nowhere to be found.
However, this was already the best outcome. Elsa Village was finally protected, and for the Wood Elves, this was much better than being homeless and suffering heavy losses. Brody also directly announced that Roddy would be the "eternal friend" of the Elves of Elsa Village.
Roddy understood that with this announcement, the Reputation Value of the "Wood Elves" directly jumped from "Indifferent" to "Friendly".
After this battle, the way the Wood Elves looked at Roddy had completely changed. No amount of nonsense could compare to a convincing action. All the Wood Elves had seen Roddy save Elsa Village with their own eyes. So, the disdain and disdain in their eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by deep gratitude and curiosity.
Feeling the faintly discernible gazes on him, Roddy secretly broke out in cold sweat. "Turning the tide" sounded easy, but there was also an element of luck involved. If there was another Beast Tide, he really wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, when he thought of the arrow that killed the Level-18 bone-armored elephant, Roddy was satisfied because that was the highest damage he could achieve at the moment. Combined with the skills, the ring, the arrow, and the epic-level short bow that had the highest damage value, Roddy's [Focus Shooting] just now had a critical hit damage of 12049!
Previously, the Green Short Bow's normal damage was around 200. Now that the [Ice Crystal Spike] had been upgraded, the normal damage was close to 500. Combined with the [Exploding Arrow], [Focus Shooting] and [Eagle's Eye Ring], the total damage was increased by 35%. In addition to the 10 times critical damage after hitting the eyes, the miracle of an instant kill with one arrow was displayed in front of everyone.
Roddy flipped through the battle log. Although his level wasn't high, his strength completely crushed the wild beasts of this level, so the "Battle Log" panel was filled with red numbers of critical hits. Taking a rough look around, most of the attacks dealt around 3000 – 5000 critical damage to the head. These normal beasts that were below level 15 were all instantly killed.
This was the case with the Beast Tide. The scary thing was the "quantity", not the "quality". Unless there was a sub-dragon or a true dragon, the truly powerful magical beasts in this forest would never be reduced to running around with the Beast Tide. There was a huge difference between "wild beasts" and "magical beasts". The Scorpion King and the Chimera Beast were both magical beasts. Even though their levels were low, they were tyrannical and difficult to deal with. Although the bone-armored elephant was Level-18, it was still a wild beast. Under the normal panel, there was no extra attribute bonus. In Roddy's eyes, this creature was nothing but brute strength.
That was the summary of the battle. After that, it was time to check the rewards. At this time, the clue of the [Profession Advancement Mission] in the mission panel had changed to "Talk to Chief Brudy". Apart from that, the additional [Crisis of Erza Village (Completed)] also gave Roddy a generous amount of EXP.
Turning to the [Reputation Bar], the "Wood Elf (Erza Village)" reputation value jumped to "Friendly". The two Reputation benefits of "Open Trade" and "Open Missions" were definitely a pleasant surprise. Speaking of which, the fur and claws of these wild beasts in front of him were also a considerable amount of profit.
However, at this time, Roddy's mind no longer had the idea of "leaving after making a profit". Now, he was no longer a simple PVP player. If he encountered such a situation at the beginning of his transmigration, Roddy would definitely be the first to rush to loot the corpses and loot the resources. But now, all Roddy could think of was his scouting team and the newly added temple guards …
There wasn't much time left. If he didn't hurry up and develop enough forces to take root in the kingdom, he was afraid that what awaited him would be the same ending as in history.
With such thoughts in mind, Roddy had unknowingly set his sights much further. In the past, ideas like "opening a trade route and distributing taxes" were something that Roddy couldn't even be bothered to think about. But now, he was constantly under the heavy pressure of the word "military expenses" …
Without money, everything was just empty talk.
However, the troubled Roddy didn't know that within a few minutes after the battle, the Wood Elves were looking at him with gratitude and curiosity, but also with a hint of "respect".
Previously, they said that they were going to clean up the battlefield, but after the "Wall of Thorns" disappeared, they all came to the bone-armored elephant at the same time. After pulling out the fragments of the arrow and understanding the fact that the elephant was indeed killed by a single arrow, even the veteran hunters couldn't help but sigh at Roddy's strength …
The Wood Elves admired the strong and were rarely pretentious. So even Randolf, who was quite critical of Roddy, could only put on a dark face and feel ashamed of his inferiority.
All the mockery and disdain he had for Roddy had now become a complete joke in front of this arrow. The feeling of being slapped in the face made his face burn. He avoided looking at Roddy, but he still mustered up his courage to look for Sally. In his heart, he was thinking of doing his best to redeem his image.
But when he looked around, he was surprised to find that Natha was constantly shuttling through the carcasses of the beasts, silently looking for something.
At first, Randolf was a little puzzled, but then he realized something strange. All the carcasses that Natha was looking at were all shot in the head. Randolf thought of a certain possibility, so he chased after Natha and quietly looked at the carcasses …
Whether it was a reindeer, a wild boar, or a buffalo, all of these carcasses were accurately pierced through the eyes and brains.
If it was just one or two corpses, it would have been fine. But from 30 meters to 110 meters, twenty-six wild beasts had all been shot in the eyes!
After looking at the carcasses, Randolf's back was completely soaked in cold sweat. It wasn't difficult for him to understand that these beasts were the 'battle results' of Roddy's astonishing speed of shooting.
He suddenly froze on the spot and looked at Natha's actions. He had roughly confirmed Roddy's' identity '. The Steel-tailed Leopard that chased after Natha was probably killed by this human.
But after thinking about it, Randolf suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
Although he didn't succeed in pursuing Natha for so many years, Randolf understood her better than ordinary people. So after thinking about this relationship, he roughly understood why Natha was interested in this human.
Because she was too competitive.
As one of the people who watched Natha grow up, Randolf could be said to be very clear about her personality … He remembered when he was 16 years old, he was praised by Village Chief Brudy because he hunted a wild boar by himself. At that time, when Natha was 13 years old and had just qualified to join the hunting team, Randolf wanted to show off and specially went to her to praise himself. Unsurprisingly, she gave him the cold shoulder.
At that time, Randolf didn't care, but who would have thought that three days later, Natha would actually drag a wild boar's carcass back to the village …
This incident almost made her lose half of her life, and one of her arms was completely broken. But Randolf remembered that Natha didn't even shed a single tear. She just glanced at him coldly and then fainted at the village entrance due to excessive blood loss.
From then on, Randolf understood Natha's deep competitive nature. She didn't want to lose to anyone. As long as she found a goal, she must achieve it!
Randolf was very clear about Natha's only goal all these years, and that was to become 'the strongest hunter in Ersa Village' … But now, Roddy appeared out of nowhere, and his archery skills were almost dozens of times better than all the hunters in the village. Under such circumstances, what would Natha think?
Based on Randolf's understanding of her, perhaps the goal of 'Ersa Village's strongest hunter' had been completely replaced by 'surpassing Roddy' …
Thinking of this, Randolf felt only bitterness in his heart.
Where did this human pop out from ….
Looking up, Randolf wanted to talk to Natha, but he happened to see her walking towards Roddy with a bundle of arrows pulled out from the carcass …
*****
Natha's mood was very complicated.
She tried to keep her mood calm, but no matter how hard she tried, her heart was beating very fast. Natha frowned, trying to think of something, but then she found that all she could hear were the scattered words left in the depths of her mind more than a month ago …
"My name is Roddy, a scout from the Lucifron Family."
This was the self-introduction he said to her.
"Still the same, cold face, and doesn't like to talk like an iceberg."
What is an iceberg? Natha didn't know, but she thought it should be a cold mountain … Why did he say "the same"? Has he seen me before? Why don't I have any impression …
"When I have time, I will go to your village. That … at that time, don't shoot me."
This was what he said before he left. Natha didn't take it seriously at that time, but she didn't expect that he really came and did such an earth-shattering thing …
In her field of vision, the human sitting on the tree stump with his back facing her was raising his hand to draw something in the air. He seemed to be a little distressed. Natha held the arrows pulled out from the carcass of the beast and walked forward. A lot of indescribable complex emotions were mixed together … admiration for Roddy's archery, curiosity for Roddy's identity, gratitude for Roddy saving the village, and a firm determination to become stronger.
Just as Randolf guessed, Natha's mind was filled with the scene of the Bone Armored Giant Elephant being killed in seconds. 80% of the excitement in her heart came from the desire to have such superb archery and strength.
But when she stopped and stood four meters behind Roddy, she opened her mouth three or four times, but unexpectedly didn't know what to say …
Because she had almost never communicated with others, Natha who had been cold for too long seemed to have forgotten how to speak. But in the end, the desire to be strong prevailed in her heart. This Wood Elf who had always been cold and silent finally stuttered the name of the guy in front of her …
