Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Gnoll Camp

After taking Barka over, Vane and Walker were about to climb down the mountain wall together, when Barka approached them with some twists and said, "That Wayne, can you collect a copy for me when you collect the loot?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as Vane heard Barka's words, he realized why Walker and Barka seemed so excited. For Vane, he and Walker were just scavenging for something they could use, and there was nothing to fuss about. But for Walker and Barka and even Kaliya, who grew up listening to adventure stories, collecting loot seemed to symbolize their own adventures and victories in battle. For them it is an item of some special significance. Thinking of this, Vane thought for a moment and thought that perhaps he should also collect some loot.

So he replied to Barka, "Don't worry, the loot we have collected will be distributed when we return." It's indispensable for you and Kaliya's share. ”

Hearing Vane's words, Kalia's eyes suddenly lit up, after all, she had also listened to adventure stories for more than twenty years, and she also had the idea of collecting loot, but she didn't say it. Barka was no longer squirming, and he turned to Vane eagerly: "That's great, you go quickly, don't worry about here, I'll take care of everything." Including Kaliya. ”

"Wait for good news from me and Walker." Vane turned and let out a long breath. He didn't expect something to go wrong here, but it's not too late to realize it now, as long as he pays attention to it later.

Climbing down the mountain wall, Vane and Walker, who had been waiting there for a long time, set off with shield weapons in hand towards the camp of the gnolls in the swamp. Although the distance was not too far, the two of them still bothered themselves and walked cautiously. Vane uses a magic spell to detect the surrounding lifeforms, which were originally used to check the physical condition of those in need of healing, and in this case, Vane uses it to detect hidden creatures. This will ensure that they will not be attacked by swamp crocodiles or anything.

In the swamp, the most dangerous thing is the sneak attack of the swamp crocodile. They tend to disguise themselves as dead wood or rocks, and when their prey passes them, they suddenly attack, biting the prey and tearing it apart and swallowing it.

The bite force of the swamp crocodile is so strong that even Vane and Walker can't stop the bite of the swamp crocodile even if they are wearing plate armor. You won't die if you're bitten once, but you'll definitely get hurt. If Barka is bitten, the swamp crocodile may not even be able to tear up the prey, and it will be able to swallow him whole.

Cautiously coming to the vicinity of the gnoll camp, Vane stopped Walker who wanted to enter, this is a fatal thing after all, and the most important thing is to ensure his own life as much as possible. Vane raised his eyes to look up at the gnolls who had fallen to the ground, and according to the divine feedback, these gnolls were really dead.

Only then did Vane put his mind at ease and said to Walker, "Alright, let's go in." ”

"Great, I can say that to you." Listening to Vane's words, Walker put his shield behind his back, and the tomahawk hung on his waist and rushed into the gnoll's camp like the wind.

Following Walker's lead, Vane entered the gnolls' camp. When I came to the gnolls camp last night to poison them, it was dark and I couldn't see the whole picture of the gnolls camp. When I observed the gnolls camp in the morning, it was far away, and I could only see that the gnolls had all fallen and there was no sign of movement, and the specific situation was also not seen. Now when I come to the Gnoll's camp to take a closer look, I can see the whole picture of the Gnoll's camp.

In the center of the camp was a bonfire, and on the ground above and on the ground were the roasted corpses of humans, some of which had been torn apart and completely blurred. There were no women among the corpses, and it appeared that they had been eaten. It is the habit of the gnolls to eat the females first. Because for them women are a little bit more delicious.

Farther away from the bonfires were broken straw huts, which formed a circle around the campfire in the center. The largest of them was the shack of the gnoll chief. Basically all the looted items are there. Right now, Walker was rummaging through there.

The caravan vehicles had been vandalized by this time, and debris was scattered all over the gnoll's camp, and judging by the unburned debris in the campfire, the wooden vehicles had been used by the gnolls as firewood to light the campfire. As for the goods, what can be eaten is put aside, and what cannot be eaten is thrown everywhere. But that's a good fit for the gnolls. For the gnolls, only what they can eat is the most important thing.

There was just one thing that Vane couldn't understand, and that was that these dead gnolls were more or less wearing metal armor, and they also wore metal weapons and shields around their waists and backs. Although it may be the equipment and weapons of the caravan guards who were attacked, this is probably too much. There are only about 200 guards in total, and how many weapons and equipment will they carry? How did this tribe of gnolls manage to ensure that every gnolls carried at least one weapon?

Before Vane could figure out these doubts, Walker, who was looting the leader of the gnolls in the distance, had already shouted to him, "Hey, Vane boy, look what this is." ”

Hearing Walker's shout, Vane quickly walked over to Walker and said, "Let me see what good things you've found." ”

"Look, this is a gnoll tooth necklace that only a gnoll leader has." As soon as Vane walked in, Walker held up the necklace in his hand to show Vane. For Walker, it was a testament to the fact that they had cleared out a horde of gnolls. Although there are only more than twenty and less than thirty, it is also a good achievement. After all, there were only four of them in total, and being able to clear out more than twenty gnolls was quite remarkable.

"Oh?" Vane took it and looked at it, and found that there were only more than twenty and less than thirty teeth on the necklace, which meant that there were only so many gnolls in this tribe in total. It's just that there are still more than thirty gnolls on the ground of the gnoll leader's grass shed, which means that more than thirty gnolls have died recently, so the gnoll leader removed the extra teeth from the necklace.

You must know that the number of people in each gnoll tribe is the same as the necklace of the gnoll leader, and every gnoll or newborn gnoll who joins the gnoll tribe will have a tooth pulled out and handed to the leader to prove that he is a member of this tribe. If the large tribe splits into a small tribe, the gnoll leader will give the same number of teeth of the detached gnolls to the leader of the new tribe.

This is the custom of the Gnoll race, which they use to keep track of the number of members of their tribe. If any of the gnolls saw a gnolren necklace carrying a gnoll necklace of another race, it would surely provoke the gnolls' anger and would fight to kill the alien creature carrying the gnoll necklace.
