Chapter 7: Successive Encounters
Looking at the dozen or so triangular heads, as well as the vertical snake pupils, Levi felt a little bad, because the enemy this time is obviously not the same style as before, although the number is less, but the triangular head usually means that it is poisonous!
"One, two, you two retreat, Xiaobai, you also retreat, I'll try their strength first."
As he spoke, Levi put the short sword back on his waist, re-mounted his bow and arrows, and after aiming slightly, he randomly chose a poisonous snake and shot it directly, because these poisonous snakes all look the same on the outside, a green poisonous snake of water!
The wooden arrow hit the target accurately, but after it hit, Levi noticed that his arrow had shifted significantly, sliding to the side along the smooth scales.
“-4。”
The white numbers popped up, and Leaviston felt nervous, because the scales of these poisonous snakes obviously had a considerable degree of defense against arrows, but he didn't know what kind of defense they would have against other attacks.
Levi immediately gave the order: "Follow me back first, and see how fast they move." ”
After saying that, Levi immediately turned around and ran, and Xiaobai and the two hounds followed closely.
Not to be outdone, the group of snakes attacked by Levi swayed their bodies and chased after them, but they were obviously not as fast as Levi's.
Levi ran forward, looking back from time to time, but fortunately it was a flat area, and there was no grass to cover him, so he could clearly see the movement of the snakes.
Running dozens of meters away, looking at the group of snakes that were obviously a long distance away from him, and they were also scattered among each other, Levi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and stopped.
"Xiaobai, attack the first poisonous snake!"
After hearing Levi's order, Xiaobai immediately jumped out and slapped it over, but the attacked poisonous snake did not die, it was not to be outdone, and returned to Xiaobai's front legs with its head straight, and Leviston found that Xiaobai's bitten front legs had all turned green.
“-2,-1。”
"I'll go, what's the situation?"
Levi immediately noticed that something was wrong, he directly opened Xiaobai's status bar, and found that there was now an additional negative state in it: poisoning, health continued to decrease, and there were 4 seconds left.
Although with Xiaobai's palm again, the poisonous snake that bit Xiaobai has hung up, but more poisonous snakes have already sprung up, although Xiaobai is still there eager to try, but Levi has no intention of continuing this battle after a quick calculation.
"Xiaobai, come back quickly, let's withdraw!"
Xiaobai roared unwillingly, but still obeyed Levi's order, quickly turned back, and began to escape with Levi, although the poisonous snakes refused to give up, but their speed was still too bad, and soon Levi and the others were gone.
It wasn't until he could no longer see the group of poisonous snakes that Levi breathed a sigh of relief, and he checked Xiaobai's status bar again, and found that although he was only bitten by a poisonous snake, Xiaobai directly lost 5 health.
"The first bite has 2 HP, and then I lose 3 HP due to poisoning, that is, the Viper's skill lasts for 5 seconds, and I lose a total of 3 HP."
After a little calculation, Levi came to the conclusion that he could no longer provoke them in the short term, because even if he was alone, his hound would not live for 10 seconds, and even the most warlike Xiaobai, once he fell into the snakes, he would soon be besieged to death.
Levi looked at his half-empty quiver, "Looks like I'll have to take a detour unless I find a way to replenish my arrows." Well, but the experience points are quite a lot, and a poisonous snake has 2 points, which is comparable to three or four ordinary goblin minions. ”
Although he fled in embarrassment, he was a little unhappy, but according to Levi's current strength, there was really nothing he could do, there were only three subordinates, and all of them were not humanoid, so he really had no room to operate.
Fortunately, however, Levi's plan did not delay him too much, and he continued to make his way up the river with a lion and two hounds, and soon made a new discovery: dozens of smoke curled up in the distance, apparently cooking.
Levi's spirits immediately perked up, since he had finished creating the character, he had been thrown directly into this strange place, with no novice guidance, no reception of NPCs, and even no information, some were just monsters in the wild, and this situation that was completely out of his control really made him feel very uncomfortable.
But now that he had found a village, he could finally rest, inquire about the news, take on the mission, and even further, expand the size of his subordinates a little, and recruit a few more available subordinates.
"Roar!"
"Wow!"
Levi's body, which had just ignited hope in his eyes, immediately stiffened, he turned his head to look in the direction of Xiaobai's roar, and the grass surged again, and then more than a dozen monsters that looked like a hybrid between humans and beasts had appeared in his sight.
"Isn't it, again? Xiaobai, I know that every time you yell like this, there must be nothing good about it... ”
Although he complained like this, Levi's hands did not stop, he had already neatly put on his bow and arrows, aiming at the monsters that were approaching here more than a hundred and ten meters away.
The new monsters are about 1.456 meters tall, and they don't look like any human women with a thin physique, and they're covered in thick hair.
Although the clothes are tattered and only some animal skins are wrapped in key parts, it definitely looks very typical of humanoid monsters overall.
However, there is one thing that people will never confuse with humans, and that is their heads: most of their members do not have human heads around their necks, but instead have the heads of some canines, just like Levi's hunting dogs, only more hideous, and occasionally mixed with a few strong, fat monsters with a pig's head on their necks, which seem to be the leaders of them.
"System Prompt: You are under attack from the Faction of Doom - the Beastman Faction Wandering Squad!"
"Beastmen? It looks like it's very different from the kobolds in other games, but luckily I didn't choose this faction when I created the character, and I see it much uglier now than I did back then! ”
Seeing that the beastmen armed with inferior spears and crude sticks had begun to run over, Levi did not panic in the slightest, and his right hand was still firmly on until the first beastman entered his attack range.
"Whoosh!"
A blood flower instantly erupted on the forehead of the leading beastman, and at the same time, a white "-6" also appeared, but the blood-covered beastman did not have the slightest fear, but became more ferocious, he howled angrily, made a muffled sound similar to a barking dog, and then ran more quickly.
Levi still didn't move, didn't even give any orders, but fired a second arrow when the first beastman was less than twenty meters away from him.
The wooden arrow hit the running target accurately, and another white number jumped out, but the beastman only shook his body, and then rushed over, and it didn't seem to be particularly badly injured, at least not threatening his life.
Levi made a decision immediately, and never made any more attempts, but directly put away his bow and arrows, turned around and began to run wildly: "Run!" ”
His two attacks caused more than ten points of damage to the beastman, but it still had the strength to kill itself, just looking at its vitality, it was obvious that it was at least a first-order soldier of the beastman, not to mention that there were a few pig-headed people who ran relatively slowly, but their height and weight were one level higher, and their vitality was definitely more tenacious, this was definitely not an opponent that they could deal with at the moment!
Listening to the noisy footsteps and shouts not far behind him, Levi couldn't help but have a headache: "Except for the goblins with the hottest chickens, whether it's the viper group or the beastman wandering team, it's not something I can deal with, and the difficulty of this start is a little higher." Or is this the reason why I squandered my initial points and chose the expensive Xiaobai? ”
But squinting at the big white cat running happily next to him, the regret in Levi's heart immediately dissipated: "Forget it, there is no regret medicine, even if it is Xiaobai's shape, it is worth the price." ”
"And I'm a little skeptical, even if you replace Xiaobai with 2, or even 3 Empire's 2nd-order soldiers, I'm afraid there is no way to take the 1st-order beastmen who are more than a dozen at every turn, the gap between the 1st-order soldiers and the 1st-order soldiers is not so big as this, not to mention a few obviously stronger guys inside...
Although the situation was very embarrassing, the only thing that made Levi feel a little relieved was that the beasts behind him could not catch up with him for the time being.
Xiaobai and the two hounds No. 1 and No. 2 are not to mention, they are both four-legged and run naturally fast, and Levi also focused on agility when he established the account, and his movement speed is naturally not slow, once his long legs run, he is still a lot faster than those guys behind him who are mostly about one meter five or six.
The only thing that gave Levi a bit of a headache was that he had run at least seven or eight hundred meters, and these dog-like guys were still chasing, and wouldn't it be terrible if he encountered a new enemy in the process?
Levi had just finished secretly slandering himself when he noticed a few shadowy figures flashing in the woods in front of him, and he doubted his luck for the first time: "Damn, isn't it, I'm such a crow's mouth?" ”
But soon Levi noticed that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, because the few figures in front of him didn't seem to be enemies, because they were middle-aged men dressed as hunters, and they were humans!
"Hey, guys, help!" Far away, Levi was the first to shout, and ran directly towards the other party, because he had already recognized their identities from the appearance of those men, judging from the bows and arrows behind them, as well as the rabbits, pheasants and other prey they were carrying, they should all be first-order soldiers of the empire-hunters.
Several hunters turned around when they heard Levi's shout, and then they were all startled, because they found that just a few dozen meters away, there was a snow-white lion chasing a human!
After measuring the size of the lion a little, one of the leading hunters immediately threw down the prey in his hand, turned his head and muttered a few words to his companions, and then he took the lead in drawing an ebony longbow from his back, "Hey, boy, run faster, let's kill that lion!" ”
The other hunters, though a little slower, soon followed suit, and John was right, for though the lion looked fierce, its gorgeous pure white fur was certainly worth a lot!
