Chapter 0171: Temporary Camp
As the closest human city to the Greenland Forest, Blue Hills also has a small team of demon hunters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the news reported back by the vultures, this team of demon hunters had left the station 7 days ago, and after hiring some local mercenaries, they plunged into the Greenland forest and have not returned.
This also means that before their wizard squad entered this world, the demon hunting squad was already operating in the Greenland Forest!
Mary did not dare to delay, and soon sent the news back to the wizard's camp and informed Grim, who was capturing the monster in the depths of the forest.
At the time of the notification, Grim was leading his team of golems to encircle and suppress a group of ogre tribes.
This ogre tribe has a total of 27 members, including 22 adult ogres and 5 ogre cubs. With the Ogre's 3-meter-tall and 500-pound body, combined with a powerful strength of up to 14 points, all adult males have quasi-witch strength. Even the slightly weaker female ogre has a terrifying strength that is not inferior to that of a high-level apprentice.
If such an ogre tribe were to be encircled and suppressed by the indigenous people, it would probably take a well-armed and well-trained warrior to do so. And even if the encirclement and suppression are successful, this team will probably have to pay a terrible price of nearly half of the casualties.
However, when this task falls into the hands of a wizard, it can be so easy!
If it's just a simple strangulation, then Grim only needs to send out the Flame Lord to take them out of the nest. But in that case, the idea of obtaining a living sample would be frustrated!
So Grim used only a bottle of debilitating potion to pollute the ogre's water source. Then, taking advantage of their great loss of strength, Grim summoned 6 terrifying rock pythons in one go and captured them.
The adult male ogre has 16 points of constitution and 14 points of strength, coupled with a super ability to regenerate flesh and blood, with such strength, it is actually already comparable to a poor body refining quasi-witch. Unfortunately, when they were contaminated with those debilitating potions specially formulated for their race, their physique and strength both dropped to less than 10 o'clock, and their strength was greatly reduced.
However, the quasi-witch-level rock python golems have 16 points of strength and 18 points of constitution, and when the ogres are infected with the epidemic one after another, they will come out of the nest. He didn't attack the enemy, but he relied on his rock-like body to drive all the ogres together.
Grim only appeared at this time, casting a stober spell with a voodoo scroll, and 27 ogres fell to the ground, smashing shallow pits into the ground with thick sticks and boulder sticks in their hands.
Commanding the rock python to open its large ring and swallow the sleeping ogres into its stomach one by one, Grim had time to process the information stored in the transmission crystal.
Demon Hunter Squad...... 7 days before entering ......
This message also caught Grim's attention.
According to the time calculation, the demon hunting team entered the Greenland forest even before the wizards arrived. So it's very likely that their purpose is not to target the wizard camp, but to have another mission.
It can't be that some indigenous spellcasters are hiding in the Greenland forest to attract those demon hunters, right? Although this idea is a bit absurd, based on the professional characteristics of the demon hunters, it is really possible for Grim to guess it!
So, while sending the rock python to send the captured ogre back to the camp, Grim summoned 10 wind breathers and quickly scattered into the surrounding mountains and forests, looking for the traces of the demon hunter knight team.
The Wind Breath is a low-level golem made by Grim with a primary crystal nucleus of the wind system, and its strength is relatively weak, and its appearance is like a whirlwind more than 1 meter high. Their strength, physique, and spirit are all below 5 points, but their combat strength is a mess. But their only good thing is that they are agile and can fly.
In fact, this is also nonsense, it is really strange that a small whirlwind condensed by a cloud of cyan air cannot fly!
Grim attached a trace of spiritual power to each of the 10 Storm Breathers before releasing them. As they float silently above the treetops, their cyan bodies can almost blend into the blue sky background, and they are not easy to attract the attention of enemies.
That's why they're the sentinels that Grim made specifically to act as flying eyeliners!
10 Wind Breath Monsters are 10 different spiritual perspectives, and the information sent back is also massive. If Grim's mental power is used alone, it may only be able to support a relatively vague visual tracking. But now with the assistance of the chip, Grim simply no longer used his mental power to direct the flight path of the Wind Breath Monster, but handed it all over to the chip.
The chip directs the Storm Breath to repeatedly search and inventory over the forest, searching for the largest area with the most optimized flight path. And Grim just needs to find a safe place to rest, silently waiting for the chip to bring him good news.
At nightfall, the chip really brought him good news.
The team of Demon Hunters has found it!
…………
In a col 80 miles from the wizard's camp, three or four bonfires were lit.
Although there are too many dangerous monsters in the forest that are not afraid of fire and are even attracted by the light, the knights who have trekked dozens of miles of mountain roads after a hard battle need these.
The mercenaries quickly set up their tents, then sat around the campfire and began to prepare a sumptuous dinner for themselves.
A wild boar caught on the road was peeled, entrailed, washed in the creek, and then put on a stick and grilled on a slow campfire. The experienced mercenaries used brushes to evenly spread the mixed sauces and spices on the sticks while turning the sticks.
The roasted golden boar meat is constantly overflowing with amber grease, dripping on the charcoal fire below, and the rich aroma that fills the room.
The whole camp was filled with the joy of the great victory!
The camp was busy with hired mercenaries, while the 13 knights of the Demon Hunter Team helped each other remove their heavy armor and simply deal with their injuries.
Today, they successfully found the evil man's lair hidden deep in the Greenland forest, and blocked the 7 evil spellcasters inside. After a fierce battle, they managed to kill 6 evil spellcasters and capture one alive. And although the knight squad was all wounded, there was no heart-wrenching death, which undoubtedly made the knight leader who led the team breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the 4 auxiliary mercenaries who died in battle, they were never included in the casualty list by the knight leader. These profit-seekers who see the eyes of money, as long as they go back and reward them with the remaining gold coins, this group of mercenaries will only be grateful to Dade, and will never be dissatisfied.
This is the most dangerous job that mercenaries have been doing since ancient times!
Therefore, since they accepted the employment in Blue Hill City, they have already had the realization in their hearts that they will not be able to turn around smoothly. Now that the mission has been successfully completed, and the knights have promised a rich reward, the pain of losing four teammates is quickly replaced by the desire for a better life in the future.
The camp was full of laughter and jubilation.
In stark contrast to the knights and mercenaries, there is a thin figure with tightly bound hands and feet. Seriously, he was just a teenager who was still a teenager! Chronic malnutrition had made his body look extremely thin, and his abdomen was shriveled under the torn gray cloth robe, revealing ribs.
His exposed skin was covered in blue-black ecchymoses and countless tiny scars, and a rope was strangled through his mouth, stuffing it with a rough gravel. It's all to prevent him from secretly casting spells!
Unable to hold a spell and unable to cooperate with gestures, this made him completely lose the ability to resist when he had just awakened that strange power. He could only lean crookedly under the roots of a tree, scanning every smiling face in the camp with a hateful gaze.
These are his enemies!
It was this group of people who threw him away with no fixed place to live, leaving him with no home to return to, and he could only wander all day long in the barren mountains and forests that were inaccessible like a lonely ghost. Had it not been for some kind "companion" who had introduced him to that forest hut, I am afraid that his ultimate fate would have been to become a meal in the mouth of some beast in the Greenland forest!
Unfortunately, the good days of stability did not last long, and the forest camp set up by a few of their wandering spellcasters was destroyed by the demon hunters who tracked them down. And his companions, those who had been with each other for half a year, fell under the swords of the knights.
The knights are the murderers, and these mercenaries are accomplices!
Looking at their smiling faces, his heart felt like a fire was ignited. Anger, sorrow, hatred...... These extreme emotions slowly flowed through his heart, making him grit his teeth so that the tears did not flow out.
As long as I have a chance to escape, I will definitely use the most cruel and crazy means to kill them one by one!
He roared wildly in his heart, but he knew it was just his own delusion.
Immediately, desperate thoughts consumed his heart again!
At this moment of great suffering, he opened his eyes suddenly, raised his head in surprise, and stared motionlessly at somewhere above the camp.
It's a bit unusual there!
This...... This is an elemental fluctuation peculiar to the wind element!
Over the noisy camp, in the dark night sky, there was nothing there. However, this young man relied on his awakened elemental talent to perceive a special wind elemental convergence there.
The convergence of natural elements is impossible!
Because until half an hour, there was nothing unusual there. The wind elements can't just come together for no reason!
However, in the next second, the boy clenched his teeth so that he did not scream.
Because three special wind elemental convergence points appeared in the sky, and they were slowly cruising there.
Seem...... It seems to be scouting something!
There is a change! This camp is about to change!
Hope ignited in the young man's eyes, and he began to quietly observe the surroundings of the camp.
Soon, he made an even bigger discovery.
