Chapter 50: The Strange Wolf's Lair
"Keith, Lauren, you go ahead and reconnoitre, and signal as soon as there is any change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that Ryan couldn't get better for a while, Negro simply sent two rangers to keep watch.
Scouts are not warriors after all, and what they do best is not fighting. As Negro scattered the group, the camp became quiet. Ryan glanced behind him, barely seeing any of the team members under the cover of the night.
While marveling at the high quality of the reconnaissance team, Ryan gradually picked up his pace. Time passed, and he quickly crossed most of the camp, looking at the only cabin made of stone in front of him, Ryan's heart beat a little faster.
This is apparently the ogre's room!
For some small tribes, the ogre is not only the highest fighting power, but also the leader of the ruling clan, and their lair is not only stronger than other ogres, but also gathers the wealth of most of the tribe.
Stepping into the room, Ryan was stunned. As a foul smell came to my face, I saw that the room was in shambles, and a huge body lay in the center.
Trolls!
Scold! Ryan jerked the flame manipulator out, so nervous that he nearly threw the crystal ball out. Trolls are very difficult monsters with regenerative abilities that are the most powerful of all giant creatures. No matter how brutal the battle is, as long as the troll's heart is not destroyed, it will be able to grow back into a troll after a while.
Of course, if you lose your head, your brain will also reorganize, so the troll's intelligence and will are almost at the bottom of the giant creatures.
The troll in front of him had apparently been dead for a long time, and his dark green skin was already showing signs of decay. Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and after retracting the flame manipulator, he slowly approached the troll.
Sure enough, the troll's chest was occupied by a huge hole, and maggots and flies were constantly wriggling in it. Pouting in disgust, Ryan quickly looked away, just in time to see the troll's slump head.
With a frown, Ryan's mind suddenly had a bad conjecture, and he flipped the troll's head over with his foot, and the wrinkles between Ryan's foreheads deepened.
The back of the head was gone, and the back of the troll's head seemed to have been hit by a grenade, and the huge wound extended to the spine, and the skull was empty, and there was no trace of the brain at all.
Putting aside his suspicions for a moment, Ryan focused on the furnishings of the room. The rummaging marks weren't too obvious, and it was clear that the creature knew a lot about the place. The few fine chests that had been used to store valuables were empty, and only a few useless miscellaneous items and coins remained, most of which were copper and silver coins.
Whoa!
A loud chirp suddenly resounded in the night sky, and Ryan was startled, and immediately rushed out. It's an arrow!
"What's going on?!" Just came to the location of killing the wolves, and saw Negro and his party appear in front of Ryan, who hurriedly asked.
"Keith, they've found out, come with me." Waving at Ryan, Negro scurried into the woods.
Ryan saw that he didn't look in a hurry, obviously not in a battle, and while relieved, he happened to look at the corpse of the troll that had been torn to pieces. The same as the back of its head, gone!
"Negro, you'd better come and take a look." Following Negro to an open area, the team member who had questioned Taylor was holding torches and waving to the two of them at the entrance of the cave not far away.
Following Keith into the cave, everyone froze. I saw the corpse of the gray wolf lying in the open cave, and the pungent rancid stench greeted me.
"We didn't do it." Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Keith hurriedly waved his hand.
Ryan walked past Negro and took a closer look at the corpses, paw prints and bite marks bewildering him more and more.
"They were killed by their own kind!" The experienced Negro came to the same conclusion as Ryan, surprised and at the same time at a loss.
"Gray wolves cannibalism? I'm not dreaming, am I? The scouting team members looked incredulous and whispered a discussion.
"Where's Lauren?" Ignoring the team's conversation, Negro apparently noticed that this was unusual, and hurriedly confirmed the whereabouts of the other team member to Keith.
"We found a trail not far ahead, and Lauren went to check it out first."
"Call him back, we have to get out of here, here's the trouble." Before Negro could speak, Ryan's deep voice was serious.
Instigating trolls, missing brains, cannibalism... Ryan had already guessed the black hand behind these strange events, and their brows did not relax as they looked at the dark passage ahead.
It all points to a creature, the Mind Devourer! These small monsters have a terrifying special ability, not only do they possess extremely disgusting spell-like abilities, but they can crawl into creature mouths, devour their brains, and steal their bodies.
Most of the time these monsters live in the dark underground, and this cave is probably their passage to the surface.
"Lauren?" Keith was about to go to find his companion, but found Lauren walking slowly from the depths of the cave with a torch.
Without replying, Lauren, whose face was extremely pale, looked at Keith blankly. The latter was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ryan: "Wait! ”
Reconnoiter!
Lauren

"You're hurt?" Ryan asked in a deep voice, his right hand silently resting on the hilt of the flame manipulator.
"Ah, yes, yes." Lauren hesitated for a moment, replied very stiffly, and then continued to slowly approach the group. The strange behavior of his companion suddenly made everyone nervous, and Ryan shook his head at Negro, and under the latter's shocked expression, he directly pulled out the Morning Light Blessing and rushed forward.
Blessing!
The sudden bloom of golden light was very dazzling in the dim cavern, and Lauren's gaze touched this golden light, and his face suddenly became extremely frightened, and a sharp strange cry echoed throughout the cave.
The people who originally wanted to stop Ryan suddenly stopped in place, as if a cold current surged from the bottom of their hearts, and they trembled.
With the blessing of the spell, the shrill cry did not cause discomfort to Ryan, who let out a low cry and the flame operator also burned into a raging flame.
While!
Slash -4
Blazing-2
The Morning Blessing was blocked by Lauren's short bow, and the Flame Operator slashed a crimson arc through the air, ripping through the leather armor with precision, leaving a charred wound on Lauren's chest.
"Ahh With a wail, Lauren jumped up behind him, and before he could land, his right hand flew around his waist, and in the blink of an eye, he took out the arrow and pulled the bowstring.
"Be careful!" Negro reacted quickly and rushed forward like a wind with a dagger, but Lauren's shooting speed was too fast, and he was powerless, so he could only shout to remind Ryan.
The half-elf didn't chase after it with a single blow, only to see him throw out a phosphorescent mushroom, and the magic power instantly devoured it.
Dancing Lights!
A huge ball of light suddenly appeared in front of Lauren, and as Ryan moved his mind, the ball of light slammed into Lauren's face.
The Dancing Light Technique had a miraculous effect in this dim cavern, almost to the point of dazzling the flash technique, and with the fact that it hit her face directly, Lauren exclaimed, and the arrow in her hand was already out of sight.
