Chapter 8: The Desperate Alchemist

But before Hogg could think of any way, Hogg's opportunity soon came by himself, recently the riverpaw gnoll tribe is preparing to launch a large-scale hunting activity, in fact, Hogg has rarely participated in this kind of hunting activities recently, but this time Hogg is planning to go out for a walk to try his luck to see if he can get some scarce herbs, and this so-called hunting activity is not just to hunt wild animals, many times the gnoll people will also hunt other humanoid creatures, such as kobolds, fishmen or something, Of course, human beings are also one of the objects of hunting, especially the merchants on the road from the Western Wilderness to Stormwind City, although the Rhine King of Stormwind City has issued a decree a long time ago, merchants can ask the local garrison for escort when they are traveling in various places, and only need to pay a small commission afterwards, this condition is very favorable, but there are still many merchants who are unwilling to pay this commission in order to save costs, and there are also some unscrupulous merchants who smuggle prohibited items, such people of course dare not ask for military escort.

Hogg's chance is a smuggler, this smuggler named White is actually a teacher in the town of Mooncreek in the western wilderness, but the teacher's salary is not enough for him to feed his family, so he starts to make some contraband through his alchemy, and then sells it through his student Jesse, but Mooncreek is too small, and his brother-in-law Sheriff Hank also begins to suspect him of making and selling contraband. In desperation, he decided to go to Stormwind City, but his luck was a bit bad. Along the way, White and Jesse carefully avoided the checkpoint check, but crashed headlong into the gnolls who were hunting, Jesse was directly hit by the gnolls in the resistance and was killed, and Wright was bound by the nets of the gnolls slave catchers at the beginning of the battle, so he had to surrender to the gnolls to save his life, of course, White's goods were all taken away by the gnolls.

Of course, even if he surrenders to the gnoll, it is difficult to say whether White saved his life, after all, there is never such a thing as preferential treatment of prisoners in the dictionary of the gnoll, and for useless captives, the gnoll did not kill him immediately, just because the living captives can be exchanged as slaves and goblins of venture capital companies for some rare goods that are usually difficult to buy, and at the same time, when the gnoll tribe does not have enough to eat, the captives can be used as food, and it is only a matter of time before they fall into the hands of the gnolls and die. So although White surrendered to the gnolls, he actually made up his mind to escape.

And the gnoll's guard of White also highlighted a carelessness, and he didn't even search White's body, but just tied White's hands back, and let White follow the gnoll man on foot, and White happened to have a paper cutter on his body to solve the current dilemma, he found that the gnoll next to him didn't pay attention to him, so he pretended to fall to the ground, but secretly held the paper cutter in his hand, so he began to slowly cut the hemp rope tied to his wrist, and soon he felt that the originally tightly tied hemp rope relaxed, But it still looks tied on the outside.

However, although White's small movements were not noticed by the gnolls around him, they were discovered by Hogg not far from him, but Hogg deliberately kept quiet, but quietly followed behind White, pretending to look around at the scenery, and then quietly observed this sneaky human with the corner of his eye.

White cautiously followed the gnoll team in the forest, while moving to the edge of the team, and soon came to the left flank of the gnoll team, from here you can vaguely see a river, this river is located at the junction of the Elwin Forest and the western wilderness, as long as you cross this river White is safe, but now White is also beating a drum in his heart, there are fish people in the river, these little men who like to waw wow wow, although the strength of the single body is average, but the fish are numerous, and they can be beaten and never single-handed, And having a home advantage in the water has a considerable impact on his escape plans.

However, he still has a secret weapon in his hand, which is a bottle of fine potion he used to make, an underwater breathing potion, with which he can quietly cross the river from the dark bottom, and the characteristics of the fish-people's eyes make it difficult for them to find themselves underwater. So he made up his mind to go, and by the time the other gnolls found out that the human captive had dared to escape, he had already run twenty yards away, and now that he was getting closer and closer to the river, he took out the potion in his arms and was about to drink it, but he was hit the back, and he was interrupted drinking the potion in front of him as soon as it was dark, and the next second the potion in his hand was rudely snatched away by a big furry claw.

It was Hogg who snatched the potion, he had been paying attention to the actions of this human captive, and Hogg had already found out when White had just run out of the team, but Hogg still waited until White ran twenty yards away before launching the warrior's stunt charge, and then directly knocked White unconscious and used disarming to snatch the potion in the hands of this human.

Looking at the potion in his hand, Hogg's eyes flashed a fine light, so he quietly put White to the ground with a punch, and then stepped on White's body, and said to the gnoll slave catcher who ran over: "This human escaped, but I captured him, so according to the rules, he is my slave." ”

This slave hunter who chased him out was obviously more rigid, or maybe he couldn't turn the corner due to lack of intelligence, so he actually confronted Hogg and said: "He is the slave of the chief, not yours, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Hogg had already grabbed the neck of the gnoll slave catcher in front of him with one hand, grabbed his feet off the ground and raised it above his head, ignoring the gnoll man who was suffocated because his neck was stuck, and said to the gnoll man viciously: "Now I have the final say here, I say that my slave is mine, understand?" ”

Seeing that the unlucky gnoll slave catcher was about to roll his eyes, Hogg threw the slave catcher in his hand to the ground,

Then he said to the rest of the gnolls who were looking in this direction, "You hear me too, and if any fool thinks of an opinion, I don't mind letting it understand too!" Seeing that the other gnolls were bowing their heads in fear, Hogg couldn't help but laugh (Laughing?). He grabbed White from the ground, and carried it on his left shoulder like a sack of wheat, and walked back into the group, and the gnoll team moved slowly again.
