Chapter Ninety-Three: The Manticore

The group walked through the narrow path between the swamps and continued to the south, the surroundings became dark, and it was late in the evening, and there were no players coming, and the road seemed a little deserted.

A few minutes later, Nie Yan and the others entered the entrance of a swamp, and there were two towering watchtowers next to the road, where two NPC hunters armed with bows and arrows were guarding.

"Ahead is the area where the manticore is active, and it is forbidden to pass, so you should go back quickly." An NPC hunter stopped Nie Yan and said.

"We are adventurers on our way to Ogmat, to find the eyes of the Manticore King and heal the injuries of the village chief Munda." Nie Yan said according to the language of the task.

"I see, respected brave, the manticore is some dangerous creatures, please bring the medicine to relieve paralysis, I wish you a smooth journey." The two hunters stepped aside and said.

Nie Yan stepped into the dungeon.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and the cold air was filled with the smell of blood and rancidity, and the bones of animals could often be seen scattered everywhere in the vicinity.

The gray swamp smells of rotting corpses everywhere.

A scorpion lion nest appeared in the field of vision of Nie Yan and others, scorpion lions are social creatures, they often gather more than a dozen or even dozens together, hunt together, and feed the next generation, a scorpion lion lair often has only one leader-level male scorpion lion, and the rest are ordinary female scorpion lions. The manticore lion is a creature with brown fur and sharp claws, very similar to a lion, with a scorpion barb on its tail, covered with toxins, and if it is hit by the tail of the manticore, it will lose a certain amount of blood per second, and it will have a certain probability of paralysis. If you don't bring an antiparalytic potion, the manticore will most likely paralyze you to death.

Under normal circumstances, the shields in the team will not have any problems if they pay attention to the use of antiparalytic potions.

"How many manticores are there?"

"I scouted it, and there were about fifteen or sixteen." Nie Yan said, he wandered at the front of the team, responsible for some reconnaissance work.

"Fifteen or sixteen, my God."

"When we were on easy, normal difficulty, we would encounter five or six together."

The team members looked at each other, the blood volume of the scorpion lion is very thick, especially the scorpion lion above the leader level, it is even more powerful, in the past, they were besieged by five or six scorpion lions, and they would often be in danger, and they would pounce if they were not careful.

And in the manticore lion lair in front, there are a full fifteen or sixteen! Even if their caste increases by 10%, they can't deal with so many manticores at once.

Nie Yan used super insight to take a look at the surnames of the scorpion lion leader and ordinary manticore.

Manticore Lion Leader: Level 3 Boss with 1830/1830 HP.

Female Manticore: Level 3, HP 620/620.

Since it is an expert-level dungeon, even if it is an ordinary monster inside, the amount of blood defense, etc., has increased a lot, fifteen or sixteen manticores, if they rush over together, they will definitely have to destroy the group.

"The manticore seems to be acting together, do you have any good ideas?" The half-awake fox looked at Nie Yan and said, he admitted that Nie Yan used crossbow arrows and three arrows to lure monsters in a row, and he was indeed very skilled, but that trick didn't seem to be useful against these scorpion lions.

The sharpness of the manticore lion is definitely not comparable to that of the dryad.

"If it were given to you, how would you deal with these manticores?" Nie Yan looked at the half-awake fox and asked.

The half-awake fox frowned, he refused to show weakness in front of Nie Yan, and thought for a while: "I have a way." ”

Encountering so many manticores acting collectively, what else can the half-awake fox deal with? I underestimated him a little just now.

"Oh? What do you do to get rid of them? Let me do whatever I want. Nie Yan said, stepping aside, he had to find a way to establish his prestige in this team, otherwise if someone in the team disobeyed him, he would not be able to command properly, let alone face the Manticore King.

If the half-awake fox has nothing to do about how to clean up the scorpion lion's lair, Nie Yan will make another move and speak with facts, and then the people in these teams will naturally be convinced, since the half-awake fox has a way to clean up the scorpion lion's lair, then Nie Yan will be happy.

"Okay." The half-awake fox thought for a moment, and began to mobilize the players and arrange the formation, after all, it was fifteen or sixteen manticores, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and looked at Nie Yan and said, "My people can't compare to you, please go and lure the manticore lion over." ”

Nie Yan took a look at the formation arranged by the half-awake fox, using nearby stones and growing shrubs as obstacles, so that the melee was stuck in the position, the mages occupied high positions, the priests were more hidden, standing in several relatively safe positions, and the paladins could support at any time.

The half-awake fox does have a hand when arranging the formation, which can make the team play a great lethal role.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Nie Yan asked uneasily, if they were facing the enemy, they would only have the share of destroying the group, unless the half-awake fox had something to rely on, he would dare to deal with so many manticores at the same time, he also wanted to see, after all, it was the elite group of the Holy Roman Empire, how could there be no special means?

The half-awake fox nodded earnestly.

"Okay, then I'll go and draw the blame." Nie Yan responded, ran towards the manticores, held the crossbow arrows in his hand, found a suitable attack position, and swished out several arrows, two of which hit the bushes in the distance, and the last arrow hit the nearest female manticore.

The three manticores were the first to discover Nie Yan and pounced towards Nie Yan, and the other scorpion lions were attracted by Nie Yan's previous two arrows, and suddenly found that they had been deceived and chased after them.

The three manticores in front and the large number of manticores behind opened up a large distance, which was the best that Nie Yan could do.

"Not bad." The half-awake fox did not hesitate to praise Nie Yan, Nie Yan moved quickly, reacted sharply, and some special skills were even more amazing.

He secretly thought to himself that if he extended an olive branch, he could take Nie Yan for his own use, become his subordinate, and give Nie Yan a position in the Holy Roman Empire at that time, but at the same time, after coming into contact with Nie Yan, he also vaguely felt that Nie Yan was not like the kind of person who was willing to send people under the fence.

Nie Yan ran back, and the three manticores pounced on him.

"Wild waves, block them!" The half-awake fox gave an order, and the wild waves are the chief shield warrior of the Holy Roman Empire, and the main MT in the team, in his previous life, was also a famous shield warrior, but most of their brilliance was covered by the half-awake fox, and the half-awake fox took the chapter of courage in the early days, and at the peak he was dressed in a Granary god costume. At that time, there were few people on the entire server who were opponents of the half-awake fox, so some players ignored the elite group behind the half-awake fox. But without a superb team, how can there be a powerful half-awake fox?
