Chapter 35: Monster Raid
As the adventurers who were in the forefront of the reconnaissance reported the situation, the caravan stopped and marched, orderly in a circle outside with horse-drawn carriages, and the adventurers with weapons in their hands stood on the periphery, ready to resist the onslaught of the monsters.
"The wolf beasts are taller and more threatening than ordinary wolves, those who do not have the ability to protect themselves, please hide behind cover, don't panic, we will ensure everyone's safety. ”
The voice of the adventurer captain echoed through the crowd over and over again, directing the hired adventurers to stand in formation and let the merchant travelers hide in a safe place.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen a demonic beast yet, is it similar to a demonic beast?" Zhou Lie heard that there was a demonic beast attack, but instead showed a strong interest and wanted to find out.
"Warcraft are beasts that mutate because of magic, they are stronger than ordinary beasts, and they are full of wisdom, this is not an animal that can be seen, if Your Highness wants to see it, when the battle is over, let people bring a few intact corpses to see. Randy on the side explained, preparing to stop Zhou Lie's actions.
"What's so good about the dead, naturally you have to look at the living, I think you have walked this path, you should also have the means to protect yourself in the Warcraft." Zhou Lie didn't take what Randy said at all.
"Although I can protect myself, it doesn't mean that I am willing to go into danger myself, which is not a wise move. ”
Zhou Lie pursed his lips, although he said so, he was not willing to have zero contact with the danger, originally he planned to stand on a high place and take a look from afar, but now he was surrounded by carriages and carts, and there was nothing in the center to give him a foot, and he couldn't see the battle situation outside at all, he could only see frost flames flying in the sky, and at the same time there was a shout of killing and roaring.
"Do you think the adventurers outside won't be able to stop this attack? The sound of the battle outside has continued for a long time and there is no sign of stopping, Zhou Lie asked a little worriedly.
"Not to mention such a terrible thing, and soon a pack of wolves, isn't it simple for those adventurers. When the businessman on the side heard Zhou Lie's words, he was so frightened that he quickly denied it.
"I don't want to doubt their strength, but it's been delayed for too long, so I'm a little worried. Zhou Lie spread his hands and said.
As if to confirm what Zhou Lie said, a huge wolf-like demonic beast crossed the wall surrounded by the carriage and entered the circle.
This is indeed a beast much bigger than an ordinary wolf, covered in purple electric hair with roots and roots, like needles, standing upright on all fours, there is actually a person as tall, that bloody mouth, it looks like it can swallow an adult directly.
The giant wave jumped into the car formation, and with a wave of his claws, he knocked many adventurers away, and his huge body rushed left and right in it, bringing great panic to the people inside, but fortunately, some adventurers were also left in the car formation, and their job was to protect these merchants from being attacked by the demonic beasts that broke through the defense line, and at the same time let them feel at ease.
A bald man with a heavy hammer jumped up, jumped almost two people high, and slammed down with both hands, and the hammer smashed into the head of the giant wolf, and even smashed its head down and paused.
The wolf's attack threatened the wolf, roaring and pounced on the newly landed man, trying to swallow the other man in one gulp.
A precise feathered arrow shot into the wolf's eyeball, buying the big man time to escape, and the wolf fell backwards in pain, roaring deafeningly.
Without giving the giant wolf time to react, the other adventurers rushed towards the giant wolf with their weapons in hand, spears into their stomachs, scimitars slitting throats, and chains made of stainless steel firmly suppressed it in place, unable to move.
The giant wolf, who was still majestic a moment ago, was already covered in blood at this time and fell to the ground, Zhou Lie squatted beside the giant wolf curiously, picked up a wooden stick and poked his paws, and found that the other party was no longer moving, so he put his mind at ease and planned to observe it carefully, after all, this kind of thing may not have a chance to see it in the future.
"Hasn't this guest seen a demonic beast before?" Zhou Lie raised his head and looked at the source of the sound, it turned out to be the big man with a giant hammer, if he hadn't taken the lead, I don't know how many more people would have been killed or injured.
"It's the first time I've seen it, but this wolf doesn't seem to be any different except that it's a little bigger than a normal wolf. ”
"Little brother, you don't know, the magic power on these monsters is all hidden in his flesh and skin, ordinary swords can't kill them at all, and they can only use weapons made of Mithril to break through their defenses, and the fur and bones of these monsters are good materials for making armor. ”
"These beasts can also use magical power?" Zhou Lie was a little puzzled.
"Well, ordinary demonic beasts also use magic to strengthen their own strength, and some high-level demonic beasts can manipulate the elements like magicians, those are very terrifying, and they don't dare to crusade if they are not fully prepared. ”
"Oh, is there a magical beast that can transform into a human form?" Zhou Lie asked curiously.
"I haven't seen it, and even if the monster can transform into a human form, they don't understand human language, it's just a bunch of beasts who only know how to kill. Dahan replied with a laugh, it seemed that it was because of Zhou Lie's outstanding imagination that made him feel comfortable.
You can't transform into a human form.,It doesn't seem to be the same as the monsters and monsters in the East.。
"By the way, since only Mithril can harm these magical beasts, wouldn't your adventurer's weapons be very valuable?" Zhou Lie suddenly realized this problem.
"Haha, this doesn't worry about you, little brother, like me, those who use blunt weapons are naturally better than steel spirits, and those who use swords and spears only need weapons made of Mithril, as long as they become adventurers, the union will issue certain subsidies and supplies, and the adventurers who are really poor can also rent weapons from the union. So don't worry, we don't have the weapons to deal with these monsters. ”
"I see, thank you for your advice. ”
"I don't dare to give advice, I just see that you are different from those scared quail-like businessmen, so I am willing to talk to you, how is it, do you yearn for the life of our adventurers? Go to the union and report my Guildford name, and say that I recommended it, absolutely no problem," said the big man.
"No, I'm just curious about the appearance of the monster, and now I'm content to see it. Zhou Lie smiled, "But it seems that the battle outside is not over yet, aren't you going to help?"
"My duty is to guard the inside of the formation, and they will do the things outside, and I don't trust them when I break in like this, and what if a monster suddenly breaks in during the time I'm away, we won't move unless they call for help. Guildford patted his hammer and said, "After all, you still have to trust your partner's ability, don't you." ”
"That's right. Since the other party said so, Zhou Lie also decided to believe a few adventurers on the periphery.
Gradually, the shouting and killing outside subsided, the roar of the monster completely disappeared, and the horn whistle, a symbol of safety, blew to tell the merchants that the convoy could move forward again.
The wall of the car was removed, and the outer battlefield entered Zhou Lie's field of vision, blood was lost everywhere, monsters and humans were mixed together, and the adventurers left behind picked up the identity cards of their dead partners. The corpses of their companions were removed from the road, the corpses of the monsters were put to good use, and the furs were cut off as their trophies and placed in the car.
The wolf beasts that died outside were smaller than the monsters that rushed into the car formation, but for ordinary wolves, they were still behemoths, Zhou Lie didn't know how these adventurers won the battle under the attack of the wolves, he could only rely on the bloodstains on the scene, and the tiredness and pride on the faces of the surviving people, to guess the treacherous battle, but in any case, this group of people deserved his respect.
Then, among this group of adventurers, he saw an incredible, but very reasonable figure, a blue-haired girl was sitting in the back of a board cart, looking at the sky, her face was covered with black things, I don't know whether it was coagulated blood or splashed dirt, the wide mage robe shrouded in the petite body, let Ran worry about whether she would trip over the hem when she walked.
"Layla?" Zhou Lie walked up to the girl and called softly.
Seeing Zhou Lie's familiar face appear, Layla's dull eyes regained their brilliance, and then she couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart, and she cried out and threw herself into Zhou Lie's arms. The people around looked at this side curiously, and then they all pretended to ignore it, but Zhou Lie felt embarrassed to death.
patted the girl's back and let her cry for a long time, and when he finally stopped crying, Zhou Lie asked softly what happened.
"Someone died in battle for saving me. Layla said sadly, then held up a silver medal with the name of an adventurer engraved on it.
"I didn't notice that a wolf ran up behind me and tried to sneak up on me, he helped me block the attack, but I was bitten in the neck, I killed the wolf as soon as I could, but he still died, he was only sixteen years old, and he told me a few days ago that he wanted to earn money to go back and buy cake for his sister. As she spoke, Layla's tears burst out of the frame again, crying into tears.
Zhou Lie could only pat Layla's shoulder, not knowing what to say to comfort her, because Layla was not only sad because of the death of a little friend of her age, but also because he couldn't fulfill his wishes, and Zhou Lie was helpless in the face of this situation.
"Little girl, do you know where he lives?"
Guildford was also attracted by Layla's movements, obviously hearing what Layla said just now, and at this moment he squatted down, holding the sign, and asked softly.
"Well, he told me that he lived in the town of Rhine, by a lake with large willow trees, and the house in the middle of three windmills was his home. ”
"That's fine, the union will give a pension to the families of the adventurers who died in the war, and you will give it to the little girl, and remember to help him bring a cake to his sister and help him fulfill his wish, so that the brave boy can rest in peace. ”
Layla nodded and whispered, "I will, I will." ”
"Well, that's a good girl. We adventurers are in the business of fighting for their lives, and in case of death, only our companions can fulfill our last wishes, and this boy is lucky enough to meet you, the lovely Valkyrie, who believes that his soul will be redeemed because of you. ”
