Chapter 167: Awakening (2)
Before the humans could think in detail, the gnolls were already sharpening their knives and eager to attack, when a whizzing sound of wind sounded, and a short spear with a metal tip and wooden branches struck Gray, tearing open the warrior's chain mail, leaving a wound that was not shallow.
When we first met, these guys were not friendly at all.
The wounded Gray took a few steps back, glanced at the wounds on his body, and then stepped forward again, shouting angrily, "Kill these filthy scum! ”
On the other side, the gnolls didn't say anything, most of them were wearing light armor, and they landed on their hind legs, shaking the chain hammer and pounced straight up.
The fight is imminent.
According to Caesar's testing device, the individual combat ability of ordinary gnolls is equivalent to that of a normal human soldier, weaker than that of elite soldiers, and completely incomparable to these adventurers with specialized abilities in all aspects.
However, the gnolls are superior to the outnumbered and have a natural advantage, and they have dark vision, and they can also move freely in the dark curtains, which is difficult for humans to reach.
So from the very beginning, the adventurer team felt the pressure, and these armed and lightly armored gnolls were much more difficult to deal with than the average idle gnolls.
"Boss, do you want to disperse them?" At this time, the only spellcaster in the camp stood up and asked the regimental commander.
The reason why this team is more advanced than other adventurer groups is that they are experienced, they work well with each other, and they have such a mage.
Spellcasters, wherever they are in Eladia, are a rather rare class and the core of the high-level adventurer community.
It was a young man, not of high rank, a mid-ranking mage who had just emerged from his fledgling stage, with fine black hair, a pale complexion, and a typical southerner face.
"Don't."
The leader is a middle-aged warrior, although his energy is no longer as strong as that of a young man, but he is thoughtful and experienced: "The night is still very long, and now is not the time for you to make a move." ”
Under his guidance, the people formed a circle with each other, in a defensive position, maintaining a tight and steady formation, killing and injuring the gnolls who pounced on them like a meat grinder.
But as time went on, not only did this not work, but the situation became more and more critical.
One of the characteristics of low-level species like gnolls and kobolds is that they have a high reproduction rate and a short reproduction cycle, so after all these years of accumulation, even the Black Dragon Lord doesn't know how many wolf cubs there are under Hogg, anyway, now there are constantly jackals jumping out of the jungle, almost inexhaustible, constantly joining the attack on humans.
By this time, the regiment of twenty-five had already begun to suffer casualties.
"With a stinky sac."
Looking at the dense gnolls, the leader of the human race finally said that after a detailed understanding of the distribution of monsters in the north, they temporarily purchased many targeted small props in the northland countries, including the stinky sacs used to deal with a large number of gnolls.
It's just that until then, the regimental commander had been pressing, and for adventurers, every penny had to be carefully calculated and used on the blade, so it wasn't until he saw that the gnolls reached a certain number and the stinky sac bomb had the greatest effect, and he finally ordered his team to cast it.
The most significant advantage of the gnolls is their keen sense of smell and the ability to easily distinguish every smell in the air, but this is also their biggest weakness, Eladia has existed for so many years, and humans have already figured out a whole set of means to deal with all kinds of monsters.
Every member of their team carried these bits and pieces, but they could make a huge difference at a critical moment, so when they threw the stink sac made from the liquid secreted by the skunk and the pickled herring juice on the ground and stepped on it, the smell of fainting was immediately emitted.
The murderous, unintelligent, and unsuspecting gnolls were instantly struck a second later, and the never-ending attack collapsed instantly, whimpering, falling backwards, and then running in all directions, these guys were not afraid of death, but the stench was unbearable for them.
Of course, there were some clever fellows among them, who, after taking two steps back, immediately began to howl in the sky.
"Woo-woo-"
Because of the fact that adventurers have continued to step into the nest of Black Wing in the past few years, the clans under the command of the Black Dragon Lord have gradually become accustomed to it, so now, not every adventurer will alarm the upper leaders, and many of them are solved by the clan that discovered those adventurers at the first time.
It is only when confronted with unsolvable enemies that the beasts of these Blackwings' Lair will warn and call for support from other clans.
Like now.
"Get out of here now, get rid of them."
The regimental commander held his breath and ordered in a deep voice, the stink sac would not only cause great harm to the gnolls, but also affect the humans, of course, this was not the most important thing, but he saw through the intentions of these beasts: "They are calling for support. ”
Instead of continuing to be attacked, the pressure on the adventurer team dropped sharply, and just after giving a sigh of relief, they followed the leader's orders and began to retreat, preparing to burrow into the jungle to get rid of the gnolls.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The howl of the jackal seemed to wake up something, and after only a moment, the entire Blackwing Nest shook slightly, which was not an exaggeration, but the ground was really shaking, like an earthquake.
Whether it was the gnolls fleeing to hide from the stench, the humans preparing to retreat with their weapons, or the other Blackwing clans, they all felt an indescribable sense of depression rise in their hearts.
Really, something really rose from the nest of the Black Wings, it was a huge shadow, the wings behind it seemed to cover the sky, the bright moon was dim, and the terrifying aura froze time.
"Boss, is this our goal?"
Gray's face turned pale as he looked at the behemoth that could only be described as a "seat", his legs couldn't help but tremble a little, and he looked back to see that his companion Solato, the thief, was retreating at this time.
"I think, yes."
The regiment leader's heart was cold, even if he didn't see his true face just by visual inspection, he could judge that the other party's size was at least twenty meters long.
Martha is on top, twenty meters of black dragon, what is that concept?
You must know that the size of the black dragon is only a little larger than the white dragon, and it is a fairly small dragon species among the five-colored dragons, the green dragon in the old stage can reach twenty meters, the red dragon can reach thirty meters, and the black dragon is only about eighteen meters.
And what is a twenty-meter black dragon?
Extremely old black dragon?
Cologne?
The head of the regiment didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this moment, what dragon slaying warriors and evil dragon treasures were left behind by him, life was the only thought in the hearts of this group of people now, he could not suppress the panic in his voice, and urgently asked the spellcaster for help: "Quickly cover up the breath, let's go!" ”
They tried to turn back, turned around and began to flee, but the black dragon jumped slightly, spread its wings, and the crimson flames immediately tore through the night sky, and before they could take two steps, the strong wind pressure tore the adventurers to the ground.
The black dragon was approaching in an instant.
The terrifying beast half-erected, looked down condescendingly at the almost limp human, and said, "I'm glad to see you, human. ”
