Chapter 16: The Sorrow of Frost

Ainan pointed to the sky above the gnoll's head, and dozens of ice picks condensed by the ice magic fell from the sky, crackling and smashing as the gnoll man fled.

Each icicle was the size of a fist, and the tip was so sharp that it could easily break through the flesh of a gnoll and nail it to their bones, opening a large hole in blood.

That's not all, the falling icicles deal physical damage to the gnolls as well as magic blows.

The ice picks nailed into the gnoll's body quickly exploded, and clouds of ice mist burst out, not only freezing the injured gnolls into ice sculptures, but also causing the ground to condense into patches of ice. The appearance of these ice cubes is not a good thing for the gnolls, as they seriously hinder the gnoll's movements, slowing them down considerably.

"Kill!"

Sloane and Marcus led the charge with their weapons in hand, leading the charge towards the gnolls.

Not only did Ainan's magic inflict great damage on the gnolls, but it also froze the ground nearby, so they didn't have to worry about getting stuck in the mud, and the only thing they had to do was not to slip while running.

Why did you choose a gnolls as a target?

Of course, persimmons pick up soft pinch, do you need to say?

Swamp crocodiles are also generally only active in swamps, so as long as you don't set foot in their territory, you won't be attacked. As the army led by Lothar passes through here, as long as your brain doesn't make a mistake, be careful to avoid them.

Gnolls are different, if you don't mess with these jackal-like guys, they will come to provoke you, and it will be very troublesome if you don't take the opportunity to destroy them.

In the battle with the swamp crocodile group, more than half of the nearly 100 gnolls were killed and wounded, and there were only about forty people left, and less than twenty of them could stand up after Ainan's ice pick baptism, and these twenty gnolls were all wounded and had no fighting spirit. What's the use of Ainan asking for such an enemy if the two squads of Sloan and Marcus can't handle it?

Only at the beginning of the spell was the Icicle, and then Ainan ignored the situation on the Gnoll's side, and his attention was focused on the swamp crocodiles.

Sloan: They didn't want to provoke the swamp crocodiles, thinking it was a bunch of tough bones, but Ainan didn't think so.

It is true that if a human warrior wants to kill a swamp crocodile in the swamp, he doesn't have the strength of the middle rank, so he has to carefully look for opportunities. But what if it was another swamp crocodile that attacked?

The swamp crocodile that had just beaten away the gnolls was still wary of the new humans, and they never expected that the two dead companions would suddenly 'come to life'. The latter violently bit the other two adult crocodiles in the group and rolled like crazy.

The crocodile's sharpest and most famous attack mode - death rolling.

The dead companion is alive?!

The crocodiles didn't react for a moment, and by the time they realized that their companions were being attacked, it was too late, and the two bitten swamp crocodiles were lifeless under the roll of death.

At this time, a strange scene appeared.

The bodies of the two swamp crocodiles that had just died were stained with a layer of gray, and they could still pounce and bite like attacking their companions without any breath of life. Four swamp crocodiles that 'come back from the dead' slaughter into their former companions who haven't figured out what is going on yet, set off a killing feast.

The resurrected four-headed swamp crocodile felt no pain, and even if part of its body was torn off by the counterattack of other crocodiles, it was still sharp. They are so that those living crocodiles can't do it, and once they are bitten, a death roll can bite them.

In just two minutes, the swamp crocodiles, which had been crumbled by nearly a hundred gnolls, were wiped out in a cannibalistic battle - not to mention that these swamp crocodiles acted no different from when they were alive, in fact, they had become undead creatures.

That's how Frostmourn's power is, infecting dead or dying creatures with death energy, turning them into undead spirits, puppets of the sword-wielding.

"It's worthy of a magic weapon, and the ability is really weird. If this sword is entrusted to a non-human, it will cause a big mess. ”

Ainan flicked his sword, and the swamp crocodiles scattered in a flash of thought, and rushed towards the depths of the wetland swamp.

As the soil overlord in the wetland swamp, the efficiency of exploring the path by this group of swamp crocodiles will be dozens of times higher than that of humans. Even if Ainan doesn't do anything now, the swamp crocodiles will feed back the information, allowing him to easily grasp the dynamics around him.

Twenty miles a day?

Ainan smiled, the undead creature has no pain and will not be tired, the swamp crocodile can always run at maximum speed, and it is not a problem to explore two hundred miles a day.

Wouldn't it be too wasteful to just explore the way?

Looking at Frost Grief, who was absorbing the energy of death from the corpse of the dead gnoll, and his fingers stroking the death demon pattern on the sword, a thought flashed through Ainan's heart.

Forget about the gnolls, not to mention that humans have a bad impression of this human-eating humanoid, their own combat effectiveness is indeed not very good. In an environment like the Wetland Swamp, the most cost-effective should be an earth overlord like the Swamp Crocodile, after all, Frost Sorrow does not absorb much death energy, and the number of undead creatures that can be transformed is extremely limited, and not a single place can be wasted.

That's right, Ainan is planning to transform undead creatures. The magic sword of Frost Sorrow was not created as an ornament, but really to be used.

With Frost Sorrow's current ability, it can drive fifty undead creatures, and more than this amount of death energy will not be able to keep up. Fifty swamp crocodiles are enough to crush a large human army head-on in the current environment, and when used properly, it is enough to gain a lot of benefits for Ainam.

It was such a happy decision.

"Your Excellency Ainan, fortunately, those gnolls have all been slaughtered by us. Your Excellency, you are ......"

When Sloane and Marcus returned, covered in blood, they saw Ainan making quick markings on the map. Look at the area that had stretched dozens of miles from where they were to the depths of the swamp, enough to cover their results in three or four days.

Ainan didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "I used a little trick to find the way." Sloan, remember to go to the gnolls' camp and bring back any graveyard moss. ”

Otherwise, how can it be said that Sloan will do things, as soon as Ainan finished speaking, Sloan took out five gray plants like a trick, what is it if it is not cemetery moss?

Ainan glanced up at Sloanan and praised, "Very good." ”

Les Loann smiled.

Marcus looked straight at the side, no wonder Sloanan would fall behind him when he chased and killed the jackals before, he thought he was trying to be lazy, but he didn't expect it to help adults collect magic herbs.

A veteran oilman, it seems that I am still too young.
