One, two, three......

The gnolls returned to the camp in search of prey, and the strong leader with a scar on his face found the corpse outside, and he couldn't help but let out an angry roar in the sky. It had fought adventurers, and the intelligence of its humanoids had made it aware that adventurers had attacked their camps, and that these adventurers had mercilessly slaughtered the offspring of their race, just as they had ruthlessly eaten the poor humans. The number of enemies was small, and they fled immediately after discovering that they were back.

The twelve gnolls gradually gathered.

This is a medium-sized group of gnolls, with more than half of them being adult gnolls, one-third of warriors, and a small percentage of newborns. With their talents, they domesticated three coyotes to serve as helpers in their hunting and as a reserve in times of scarcity. For the Gnoll, hunger can overwhelm a qiē, and the weakest of the people in the group can be turned into food when needed.

They are natural warriors, scouts, and can track the smell of blood.

The leader of the gnoll came to the corpse of the she-wolf, there was not much difference between the male and female in the group, only the size of the zài physique, the male gnoll tended to be a little stronger, and the female gnoll only had some noticeable characteristics during the lactation period. It leaned over the she-wolf's fangs and sniffed it, which was stained with Sauron's blood, and then lifted the she-wolf weighing two or three hundred pounds with one hand, and let all the gnolls smell it.

The memory of blood can last for half a day, and they are able to track the smell of blood within a kilometer.

Revenge!

It's the instinct of humanoids.

Just as humans avenge their eaten companions, they avenge their dead wolf cubs.

One after another, wolf howls rang out.

The gnolls begin to follow the smell of blood, they are not the most powerful creatures in the wilderness, but they are definitely one of the most ferocious and annoying. The instinctive talent of wolves allows them to form a group, obey the arrangements of their powerful kind, and their innate bestial instincts make them naturally hunt and kill prey. Adult gnolls have creature level 3, and as long as they successfully advance to the second order, they will be close to the second order, and they will hunt even more dangerous creatures when they are hungry when they move in groups.

What determines the size of a gnoll population is food, and with enough food, a she-wolf can give birth to more than a dozen wolf cubs in a year.

If food is scarce, only the chief has the right to mate.

This ensures that the strongest offspring is born, and the other Gnoll members cannot give birth to offspring, and they need to be raised together.

This is very similar to many wolf packs!

………………

Inside a dense forest.

Sauron's figure is moving rapidly, in the wilderness only the ranger can easily get rid of the gnolls, and they have the ability to track the smell of blood, and sooner or later they can find Sauron's traces. And that's just the gnolls of the material plane, and there's even a kind of gnoll in the outer plane called the 'bloodthirsty', which can track the smell of blood within a radius of ten kilometers. These creatures are dangerous predators and assassins, and their diets include lower dragons.

A group of gnolls rushed into the dense forest, chasing after them based on the smell of blood left behind.

Sauron needed more favorable terrain.

He can face more than a dozen kobolds at the same time, but he can't face more than a dozen gnolls at the same time.

Stamina is gradually depleted during running.

Sauron's 20-point constitution guaranteed his stamina, but after chasing him for a kilometer or two, the gnolls began to slow down. The dense forests are very much affected by speed, even the gnolls can't sprint at high speeds, and Sauron is also affected, but he has excellent bounce and reflexes due to his extraordinary agility. His sense of balance, which is beyond the limits of ordinary people, allows him to avoid most obstacles, and when there are bushes in front of him, he can even jump up and leap over the tree poles.

It's as if one has been blessed with a light body technique, and the other has to run on the ground.

The terrain in front of me gradually opened up, and a mountain peak appeared in front of it, a cliff of ninety degrees vertical, and some faults three feet wide. Sauron jumped to his feet, then grabbed the rock with both hands and climbed. Like a climbing maniac who had challenged the limits of human beings in his previous life, Sauron climbed all the way up the cliff at an unusually agile pace, and then stood at a height of about twenty meters above the ground. The area of activity here is small, and you can climb all the way to the top of the mountain, which is not very high and is bare rock.

Sauron applied a little ointment to the wound on his shoulder, and began to load the bolts, placing them one by one into the small pocket around his waist, where he had been holding a throwing knife.

To deal with the gnolls, avoid open terrain and sneak attack by being surrounded by them.

A group of gnolls surrounded him, and the high-ranking warriors would also take a few hits, not to mention that he was a second-order thief.

Traps only work well in specific areas, wilderness adventures rarely take too much time to set traps, and wanderers fight in the wild more like warriors who rely on agility.

That's why there is an advanced branch of the wandering swordsman, a very powerful group combat class.

The bushes in the distance shook, and then a strong gnoll came out, led by a gnolll with a scar on his face, from the forehead of the wolf's head to the side of his face, and if he deviated a little more from his eyes, it would be gone.

"It's finally here."

Sauron slung the crossbow around his waist and pulled out a bloody wolf head from the dimensional pouch, which was the head of a gnolll cub, and he left to pocket one.

"Whew! Oh! Oh! ”

One after another, the wolf howls rang out, and the gnolls who were tracking below instantly had blood-red eyes, howling and pounced on him, trying to climb the wall and tear him to pieces. (Taunt success!) ）

Suck!

A bolt of crossbow fired, and the gnoll man who was in front of him staggered, tumbling and crashing into the cliff.

Sauron calmly reloaded his crossbow bolts, then hid behind a rock, then took aim again at the jackal, shooting an arrow at its head.

Right in the middle of the brain, the crossbow bolt was nailed directly into it.

A row of numbers jù emerges:

"Kill the Gnoll Warriors! ……”

"Deal 36 critical damage! …… Target Death...... Gain 320 XP on kills. ”

Range within twenty meters.

The basic attack strength of the strong crossbow can reach more than 20 points, and it can be killed instantly when it hits the vital point.

The gnolls climbed quickly, but the 90-degree vertical cliff was not so easy to climb, and before the few that rushed over could climb over, Sauron had already loaded his crossbow bolts and shot an arrow condescendingly. The jackal in the climbing state had no space to dodge at all, one head was shot in the neck and fell down, and the other was hit in the forehead, and the other was shot through the skull and killed on the spot.

"Whew!"

The leader's wolf howl sounded, and the other gnolls finally realized that the terrain was very unfavorable to them, and some began to hide in the blind corner of Sauron's range, while others outflanked from both sides, climbing along the side of the mountain, preparing to sneak up on the sides and above to surround Sauron.

"Damn. The response is really fast. Sauron put the crossbow away.

He threw the head of the gnoll cub down, and then climbed up the cliff, although the gnoll was not very intelligent, but he would not wait for him to shoot one by one in a daze. If the opponent attacked, he could still kill five or six first, but surrounded from the flank, Sauron had to shift his position.

Able to jump straight up to the second floor, Sauron jumped to his feet and landed on a rock, then landed on top with a 360-degree spin. He quickly picked up the crossbow bolt and shot it at the climbing jackal, who was alertly dodging, and the bolt hit the rock.

Sonorous!

Sauron wasn't surprised, he pulled out his scimitar with his backhand, looked at the gnolls surrounding him on all sides, and rushed towards the one that came closer.

The terrain here is good.

He can shoot the gnolls slowly when they are gathered together, and if they are scattered, he can break them alone, at least without having to face three or five enemies at the same time. It's a pity that they didn't master the 'woods' specialty, otherwise they would have been able to play to death in the woods. Elven Ranger's favorite thing to do is to leap between tree poles and shoot enemies with his longbow.

A killing experience of nearly three hundred points, killing half of it is enough for him to work part-time!
