A gentle breeze blew through the valley. (Book House)

On a hill not far from the Ogre Valley, Rhodes stared at the valley in the distance with a frown.

"The smell of blood."

As the breeze blew, the air began to fill the air with a strong smell of blood, and it seemed that the Iron Sword Mercenary Group had already fought with the group of ogres in the Ogre Valley.

I thought about it for a moment.

A cold look appeared on Rod's face, and he was ready to leave.

The smell of blood in the valley ahead was too strong, and such a strong smell of blood would attract a lot of fierce beasts in the wilderness, and the longer it dragged on in an event like this, the more detrimental it would be to a scattered person like Rhodes.

The strength of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group is not weak.

Since they dare to do this vote, they have a certain certainty, and as time goes by, their suppression of ogres will surely become more secure, and at that time, even if there are many adventurers watching, the overall situation has been stabilized.

While thinking, Rod quietly felt in the direction of the valley.

When he reached the outskirts of the valley, his expression stiffened at the sight of him.

Corpses, a lot of corpses.

The open ground around the valley gradually saw the corpses of various races, goblins, kobolds, cavemen, and a few lizardmen, all seemingly slaves captured by ogres.

There are many types of monsters running over from the Grizzly Hills.

Ogres are among the larger and more intelligent races of these monsters, and many high-level cannibals will even establish their own territories in places far away from humans.

The foodie Rod had known before was an ogre.

His population has its own territory further north, where creatures of many races can coexist peacefully, or rather, the concept of a population has been blurred.

They all assume that they are intelligent beings.

And not only ogres.

In that place in the north, humans will not be so hostile to foreign races, and many races live together in harmony, forming a place called [Northern Shelter], where the human Bantu patriarch is even elected by various races to a similar status as the leader of the alliance.

The ogre's strength and intelligence are not bad.

The ogres in the savage region do not have a mature social system, but their racial characteristics still make them superior to other races, and vulnerable groups such as goblins and kobolds are often enslaved by them.

"There are not many traces of battle!"

Rhodes took a closer look at the bloody scene, and although it looked tragic, there were not many signs of battle in reality.

Other words.

This is a one-sided slaughter!

Kobolds, goblins, cavemen, and other creatures were the ones who were slaughtered.

From their corpses, Rhodes also found some clues.

These unlucky creatures were enslaved by the ogres at the beginning, and it is estimated that they are almost hungry, and they basically have no equipment such as leather armor on their bodies, so they should have been deprived by the ogres.

They themselves are almost weakened.

Faced with a well-armed and well-trained mercenary group, the battle ended almost in a single moment.

Rhodes saw that many corpses had been killed by a blow from spears and other sharp weapons.

He could even imagine the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment nailing a group of enemies with a single charge and a spear throw.

Airplanes!

There were some strange sounds around.

Some of the scavenging birds that had been in the open space immediately scattered as if frightened.

Rhodes also dodged and found a boulder to hide.

Soon.

He saw a group of interesting creatures.

It was a group of very agile little creatures, swift and with sharp claws, running and jumping from valley to valley, and with the same ease as some of the most astute assassins.

"Harnick! ……”

Rod clenched the decapitation sword in his hand with a somewhat solemn expression, and his body was even more hidden.

In front of him is a group of cat demons!

They're not the elegant, sexy catwomen of the orcs.

It's a race of monsters in their own right.

They are alongside goblins, minotaurs, and zombie undead, and are known as the four strongest races in the Gran Forest in the Pattiman region, and these creatures are rarely seen in other regions.

There are also many types of cat demons, among which the more common ones are the secret curse cat demon, the luminous cat demon, the bloodthirsty cat demon, and the fickle cat demon...... There are also some very tricky xenospecies, such as the gardener Ruhl, Harnick, etc.

The Ponse region on the other side of the Grizzly Hills is also home to some of the cat demon tribes.

Now.

In front of Rod's eyes is a group of cat demons.

————————

The group of cat demons numbered about forty or fifty, and it seemed that they were heading straight for the valley, and the leader of them was actually a rare Hanik.

Harnick is a mutant cat demon.

They tend to have a high level of intelligence, and Harnik is most talked about for its superb "demon-breaking ability", so it is also known as the "natural enemy of the spellcaster".

Harnick can be partially immune to spells.

The high-level Harnik Cat Demon is not only immune to spell damage, but can even absorb spell energy.

In [Silent City], this kind of cat demon can be sold for a sky-high price.

The group of mad mages in Silent City were very curious about this kind of demonic creature, especially after a powerful legendary mage presented the "Harnick Cat Demon Creature Observation Report".

In that report, it was speculated that Harnick was born from the "resistance" in the bloodline of the Great Arcanists of the Nether era after experimentation.

It is also speculated that it may be possible to trace the bloodline of this creature.

This leads to the extraction of some special mana that has been lost by the ancient arcanists.

Those wealthy wizards don't care about any biological rights, let alone any so-called human rights awareness, and they once caught such creatures on a large scale.

But this rare xenomorph is not weak in combat.

So far.

The fall of the high-level mages in Silent City because of the Harnik cat demon has exceeded double digits.

The high-level Harnick Cat Demon's combat power is absolutely terrifying.

Rare and powerful.

This is the impression that Harnick Cat Demon left on the world.

"Gollum ......"

Rhodes swallowed, he wasn't interested in catching any Harnick cat demons, creatures that could make the madmen in Silent City suffer, he didn't want to provoke it.

"But...... It actually attracted a Hanik, what is the secret in this valley......"

He was getting more and more interested.

Hanic was already intelligent creatures, they knew how precious they were, and they would not easily appear in front of people, and now they took the risk to run out, believing that it would not be because of the treasure in the valley.

"Let's go inside!"

After the group of cat demons had all entered the valley, Rhodes quietly walked around in the other direction.

He's ready for battle!
