Chapter 41: The search party encounters a werewolf
The combination of the Ranger and the Druid is truly seamless, with the former having an unrivaled recon advantage and the ability to slash with a sword, while the latter can be seen as a combination of magic and heavy troops.
Whether it was the distant dragon era or the world war with the dwarves, whether it was the civil war between their own people or the era after the rise of mankind, these two forces will always be the patriotic tools of the 'spirit' spirit race.
After the Elder of Garriville City, Christina, gave the order, Krees, along with the members of the two guilds, rushed into the search for the vampire's lair.
The eyes of the 'elves' are much better than those of humans, especially in such dark moments, and they can make the most of their strengths without the need for night vision or any other equipment, and they can accurately identify all kinds of specific things that are trying to hide in the darkness like owls.
Krees took the lead in the way, followed by two rangers, followed by several druids.
The whereabouts of vampires are not difficult to pinpoint, because the smell they leave behind is so strong that anyone with a nose can easily spot the clues, but there is another distraction that is constantly causing problems for the curious who try to follow them: inhaling too much of these smells will soon lead to a coma.
Thankfully, the druids were prepared, and they read out the magic they had already prepared in their minds, and a special fragrance immediately filled the air, which quickly combined with the strong vampire stench, so that it no longer had a stunning effect.
The forests outside the city of Calriville have been getting thinner and thinner in recent years, and in response to this, there are rumors that it may have been caused by the eucalyptus that Elder Christina insisted on planting.
This is a cause for concern, but in the current situation, it's a good sign, because too dense a forest can seriously interfere with the speed of searching, and the nests of vampires will become very difficult to find.
Krees's heart knows very well that in the Danse Forest, the best place for vampires to hide is underground, and the entrance to the underground is usually hidden by the roots of huge trees or simply inside the hollow stumps.
The crowd searched for the peculiar scent, but finally lost all traces in front of a small stream, which was a little frustrating.
It was a moonlit night, because the dark clouds in the sky were constantly disturbing it, and all the people who stayed by the brook tried their best to find a way to keep the track going.
Just as everyone was looking for it with all their hearts and minds, suddenly from the depths of the forest came several terrible howls from far and near.
One of the druids immediately shouted, "It's a werewolf."
As soon as the words fell, dozens of black shadows sprang out in front of the big guy, and those shadows all had two blood-red 'colored' gems hanging from their heads without exception.
Several rangers and druids hurriedly shrunk into a small circle, using the most fragile backs to form an inner ring.
At first, these mad werewolves in the Danse Forest only attacked lone travelers, but over time, they slowly developed to the point of daring to challenge four or five people to travel in groups.
They also seem to be increasing in power, from being powerless against the Rangers or Druids to being almost one-on-two.
Some of the "superstitious" people thought that it must be the god of the forest who was dissatisfied with the performance of the people he had created, so they sent werewolves as messengers of punishment to warn everyone, and some xenophobic people believed that it was because of the indiscriminate deforestation of humans that caused the sudden anger of the werewolves.
Anyway, when a catastrophe is coming, there are always many rumors that are rampant, and they are as dedicated as clowns, even when it is a matter of life and death, they still tirelessly try to draw people's attention to themselves.
The beasts that Krees and the others encountered were obviously extraordinary, they seemed to be one size larger than their kind, their fangs and claws were constantly flickering in the moonlight, and they were not blindly rushing and bumping, but they formed a larger encirclement network on the periphery of the 'spirit' protection circle according to the current situation.
The first wave of werewolf attacks is tentative, they 'straight' up, raise their sharp front paws, kick their back 'legs' violently, and pounce on their prey in the inner ring.
Of course, the Ranger and the Druids don't sit still.They cooperate with each other.Each of them has magic bark on their bodies.And in order to make the Ranger 'shoot' arrows more threatening.The Druids also use additional power spells on these companions.With the help of this magic, even a person without the power of a 'chicken' can be transformed into a brave man who can lift a thousand pounds in an instant.
The werewolves' tentative 'sex' attacks were largely ineffective, as the sharp claws could not break through the protection of the magic bark, which was layered on top of each other, and would constantly mend itself.
Once the attacker has been defeated, it's the defender's turn to show their might.The rangers' arrows and the druids' fire magic weapons have been effective.The powerful arrows and the flames that threaten the 'yin' creatures quickly knock out several werewolves who are not agile enough to fall to the ground.
The surviving beasts were apparently psychologically affected, howling and slowly retreating, and after a distance, suddenly turning around and disappearing into the forest, as if they were not prepared to care about their fellow who had been knocked to the ground.
The Druids and Rangers take a no-do approach to the beasts of the forest, they don't kill critters for their livelihood, they don't try to wipe out the mad werewolves with their own skills, they are the moderates of the 'elf' spirits, they advocate a peaceful and natural life, and believe in the philosophy that everything has a cause and effect.
For the werewolves who fell to the ground, Krees and the others were obviously moved by compassion, and they used the magic of healing wounds, and used the power of nature to help these "lost" and crazy werewolves to restore their health.
It's a pity that the things in the world are basically a copy of the farmer and the snake, and the werewolves that Krees and the others encounter happen to be the beasts of beasts, and their strength is far greater than that of their kind, and their intelligence is also very amazing.
The werewolves who fell to the ground were all right, and the werewolves who seemed to be retreating just now were just a dragger, and they quietly turned around and outflanked them as soon as they made sure they disappeared from the end of sight.
Just when the kind-hearted druids and foresters were engrossed in practicing their philosophy of life, the werewolves who pretended to fall to the ground suddenly stood up one by one.
This time it was very deadly.There was no protection of the magic bark.There was no mental preparation.Kreese and his party suddenly fell into total passivity.Behind them had been cut off by the werewolf who had just feigned retreat.And in front of them was a cruel drama that treated kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.
He took out three special arrows from his waist and shot them into the sky above the forest as fast as he could. In an instant, it was as if three rounds of fiery red sun had risen, shining up for miles around him as if it were day.
Seeing this, one of the remaining druid companions followed up with a comprehension, and from his fingertips burst flames of flames, which seemed to have a pair of discerning eyes, and were thrown in a neat line towards the passively beaten werewolves.
Now it's a real deal, there can be no more acting ingredients, dozens of beasts that have lost their prestige are scorched by the flames at once, and their mad souls are finally freed and freed.
There were only two people left in the bustling search procession.Krees couldn't help but feel sad, a few tears fell from his eyes.The lucky fellow druid was also deeply confused, because he had to wrestle between the philosophy of peace and the necessity of killing.
The three sun-bright arrows were now silent, but the light they emitted still made all the creatures in the vicinity tremble.The three-headed vampire who had captured Duke Albert for amusement also noticed the vision in the 'lair'.
They smiled and said to Xiao Ah who was hanging upside down: "It must be your sharp-eared friends who have found this place. It looks like we have to work hard for a while.
With that, three scrawny demons turned into abominable bats at the same time, flying up the natural tunnel.
'Want' to know what's going on, and listen to the next time.
