Chapter Forty-Nine: The Ogre Camp
"Our destination is just around the corner. "www.biquge.info The leader of the reconnaissance team is a brown-haired young man named Negro, a level 6 mid-level wanderer, after several hours of silent travel, he led everyone to a high slope with a wide view, pointed ahead, and said to Ryan, "Although the ogre's camp has been destroyed, most of the corpses and food reserves have not been taken away, this has basically become a gathering place for wild beasts, everyone be careful, be careful not to be discovered by the wolves foraging for food." ”
Moving forward, Ryan looked down. In front of him was an open meadow, with a large bonfire in the center, but the flames had long since been extinguished, and only a pile of ashes remained. The tattered corpses had long since stinked, and the ruins of the humble wooden huts had been reduced to piles of rubble. With the gift of dim vision, he could clearly see in the distance several gray wolves tearing at the most intact corpse.
When I looked closely, it was the charred half of a troll.
Unexpectedly, what the old mayor said was true, Ryan frowned, and felt puzzled for a while, it stands to reason that Lu Zelin's temptation for trolls is far greater than that of these ogres. And trolls don't have brains, but they don't have brains. According to Taylor, this tribe has ogre wizards, and their strength is not much weaker than that of the high-ranking warriors. A few trolls, where did they dare to challenge this group of ogres? And it seems, they still won!
Swallowing his saliva, Ryan steadied himself and whispered to Negro behind him, "The range of the recording crystal is only ten meters, we have to go further." ”
"No! These gray wolves are social beasts, and they can attract a dozen or twenty wolves to support them with a casual howl, and the risk is too high... ”
Hearing Ryan's request, an experienced scout member immediately retorted, but was interrupted by Negro waving his hand: "No problem. ”
"Negro! Isn't that vexatious? Our task is only to bring him to determine the authenticity, can't that prove it? The team member spoke up for everyone, and Taylor's distrust of the scout team kept them haunted, and Negro's face became embarrassed when he saw his subordinates directly pick it out.
"No, you misunderstood." Seeing this, Ryan shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and explained to everyone, "Mentor Taylor doesn't distrust you, he just thinks that the ogre camp was attacked by someone else, and since he has the ability to destroy this camp, it proves that that thing is more threatening than the ogre. If you don't know what's going on on the ground, you can't jump to conclusions. ”
"Ryan is right, the mages are here to help, and you all put away all those unfounded worries for me." Ryan's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and Negro quickly spoke, and under the persuasion of the two, everyone finally agreed to Ryan's request.
The half-elf took out a small pouch from his body, held up a small part of the powder with his magic power, and sprinkled it evenly around him, and the already imperceptible body odor completely disappeared. This is the powder that was used to cover up the smell of blood, and it was made by Ryan on a whim after cleaning Lancedel's room with the help of his mentor's alchemy device.
Although it is simply kneaded and crushed in a certain proportion of the tranquil flower and the root grass, its effect is very useful.
Contemplative powder
Use: 3/5
Effect: Targets a medium creature or a 2 m3 radius per use, absorbs most non-magical flavors, repels insects, and focuses +1 on mobs within the radius, lasting 5 minutes.
Many mages in previous lives liked to use it when transcribing spells or crafting spell scrolls, and a +1 focus went a long way toward increasing the success rate.
Similarly, its ability to repel smell has led to its high sales among stealth professionals.
Reconnoiter!
Gray wolf
Medium-sized beasts
Health: 12/12
Special: sensitive sense of smell, tripping and falling
Difficulty: Average
Tripping: When the Gray Wolf hits the target with a biting attack, it will attempt to trip and stumble the opponent, without triggering an opportunistic attack, and failure will not cause a counterattack.
Four stout gray wolves were fiercely snatching the troll's corpse, unoblivious to Ryan's approach. The latter stopped in the bushes more than ten meters away and slowly took out the recurve bow that had already been wound.
Each class that reaches level 3 will give you a bonus feat, and considering that this mission is mainly defensive, Ryan specially chose a ranged attack feat.
Precision Shots: Your ranged attacks are incredibly precise and will be more likely to trigger special effects.
Its effect is similar to that of precision strikes, which greatly improves the accuracy of the shooter's shots, making it easier to deal higher damage, and making it easier to hit heavy hits, blind effects, etc.
The arrow bent the bow, and as the recurve bow made an extremely subtle sound, the arrow that flickered cold light got closer and closer to the bow.
A breeze blew, and there was a soft sound in the treetops overhead, and the gray wolf, who was eating, paused, looked around, and then found nothing, and once again buried his head in biting the piece of meat.
Shout!
Several arrows tore through the air, causing a faint shrill roar, and with a soft pop, it directly pierced the head of one of the gray wolves, and fell to the ground without saying a word. The other six arrows shoot the two next to them into hedgehogs, and their fragile health is instantly reduced to zero.
The last gray wolf saw his compatriots fall to the ground one after another, and immediately panicked, and was about to raise his head to the sky and howl to call his companions, when a pitch-black figure burst out from the side!
Whoa! The fur on his neck was pierced in an instant, and Negro pulled the dagger fiercely, and as a large amount of blood gushed out, the gray wolf's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Battle Settlement: Kill the Gray Wolves (4) together and gain 106 XP.
As soon as he reacted to this battle that ended in an instant, Ryan heard the prompt, and then did not hesitate to throw all his experience points on the mage, and the experience value of the suffix became 706/1500.
There was still half of the mage level to be raised, and Ryan couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
"Ryan, hurry up, if your companion doesn't go back for too long, those gray wolves will definitely be alert, and it will be us who will become prey when the time comes." Negro urged Ryan for the first time, but he didn't have time to clean his body, and he looked terrifying when he was covered in blood.
Needless to say, Ryan immediately took out the crystal ball, and as the magic power poured into it, a faint white light emanated from the inside of the crystal ball, and in an instant, Ryan's surroundings were enveloped.
With only a record range of ten meters, Ryan had to walk slowly around the camp.
Watching the half-elves move around the camp little by little in order to record the details, coupled with the huge area of the camp, beads of sweat gradually appeared on the foreheads of the members of the reconnaissance team, and a tense atmosphere spread nearby.
