12. Explosion

The next day, Silvermane led his men into the forest in high spirits. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It left only a handful of female gnolls and cubs to watch over their new caves, and most of the brutes, scouts, and the lame Counsellor of its indispensable side, joined the large army, armed with nearly a hundred men—twice as many as the last time they entered the forest.

It is said that it is better to see than to hear. Silvermane had heard the scouts describe how good the forest was, and although it believed it, it still had to make a discount in its heart, but when it saw the elk that had been driven by and the herd of wolves and rabbits, it couldn't help but get excited in its heart.

This is their natural pasture.

It was almost certain that the guys it had last met in the forest weren't trolls. After walking for most of the day, not a single troll was encountered on the road, not even a totem stake or a thatched hut, and looking at the fat prey everywhere, it was hard for Silvermane to imagine that the brutal predators would ignore it—it had seen the trolls with its own eyes, and those green demons crossed the border like locusts, and wherever they passed, there would inevitably be a hell full of death and bones, where could it be as comfortable as it is now.

The echinoderm jackals had never been in the habit of going deep into the treasure mountains to return empty-handed, and at the command of the leader Silvermane, the hunters poured out of the nest - rather, the hungry stomachs were driving them, and soon, the echinoderm jackals began to hunt everything they saw, making the originally quiet forest become a chicken and a dog for a while.

"Great!"

It was the cry of a brute of the spiny-skinned jackal, the equivalent of warriors of other races among the gnolls, and the most fierce hunter of the tribe, who opened its bloody mouth and bit down on the elk's throat roughly, feeling the warm blood slip down its sharp teeth into its throat, and there was a particularly exhilarating feeling of comfort.

It greedily tore off a tender piece of meat from its prey, swallowing it in the dying screams of the elk, a feeling of fullness that seemed to have been reborn filled its whole body with strength.

It's only mental, of course, but it does make them willing to do anything for it.

With a cheerful howl, the gnolls dropped their dead elk and looked further away - these gnolls didn't think about whether the food in front of them was enough, and their greedy personality only urged them to hunt for more food.

Wait, what's that......

A strange figure was reflected in the small eyes of the gnoll brute, a deer-like creature - it almost recognized it as a mistake, but soon, the gnoll realized that the other party was very different from the prey lying in a pool of blood beneath him, although it had the body of a deer and four hooves, from the waist up, it was a woman's posture. She had green hair, but it was more like a mixture of green vines and flowers than hair, and she had a small face of soft melon seeds, frowning lightly, hiding behind the trunk of a tree and watching the gnoll's rampage melancholy.

Ha ha.

The gnoll licked his blood-stained paws and grinned.

It's not known what this strange creature tastes like, but she at least looks delicious.

Milune was terrified by the monster that was closing in on him, and it found itself, no doubt.

Trying to hide behind the trunk of the tree to avoid its sight, but failing to do so, Milune immediately spread his hooves and fled in the opposite direction of the terrible monster that had been chasing it, having killed the elk with the utmost brutality, and was now planning to kill himself in the same way, if it was overtaken.

Run, run.

Mirune was desperately urging her hooves, she didn't want to be food for the pursuers behind her, and her sisters would be sad.

Mirune ran fast, thanks to her familiarity with the forest, and just as she felt like she might be able to escape from the beast's grasp, and breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't heed the other man to throw a stumbling rope that bound her hooves and caused her to fall to the ground.

In an instant, the monster chasing her was already in front of her, with a condescending gaze declaring death and victory.

"Truly, abruptly."

Milune couldn't understand what the ugly monster was saying, but its teeth and drooling were reflected in Milune's blue eyes. She shouldn't have been naughty and sneaked out to play alone, and Mirune had deeply regretted it.

Who will save me, who will save the daughter of the god of the forest!

She prayed silently and closed her eyes.

And just when she was deeply discouraged, an arrow suddenly shot out of the forest, and pierced into the throat of the gnoll brute who was about to commit murder, the brute's body froze, and it subconsciously stretched its hand to its pierced throat, but before its claws could reach the end of the arrow, its body fell straight down.

“?”

Milune saw this scene almost with empty eyes.

She was taken aback by the sudden death of the monster, but she quickly turned her head and looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, only to see three figures emerging from the trees in the distance.

They have purple skin and pointed ears, and Mirune once peeked at them from a distance with her sisters, but the sisters said that they were dangerous outsiders, feeding on nature destruction and hunting, so she should never approach them.

But at this moment, it was those people who saved her life.

She wanted to thank her, even if it was just a trivial word, but the Night Elves were in a hurry, and they had a mission more important than listening to thanks, and they quickly disappeared from her walk.

Milune could only watch them move away, and she saw one of the Night Elves wink at her.

Maybe the Night Elves weren't as bad as the sisters said they were, she thought.

But to Silvermane, the leader of the echinoderm gnolls, the Night Elves are not only enemies, but also enemies who have shot him blind in his left eye. You can imagine how he felt when he saw the purple-skinned creatures reappear and shoot his people, his injured left eye prick like a pinprick, pricking its nerves and urging it to take revenge on them.

Silvermane threw down the steak that had been gnawing so hard just now, lifted its axe, and said only one sentence from beginning to end: "Kill them all!" ”

The gnolls roared, and they charged the Night Elves upwind.

Since this forest is such a wonderful hunting ground, the echinoderm gnolls should take possession of it. The greedy wolves have long since taken this forest into their own hands, and those who stand in their way have only one fate, and that is to kill them all, and leave no one behind!

Acanthic gnolls are impatient with inferior or evenly balanced battles, and once the war is deadlocked, their motivation will turn negative. But on the other hand, if it were to be in a battle with too many people and few people like the one now, the echinoderm gnolls would show amazing mobility.

They were in groups, each with their own division of labor, and they surrounded Ravenkes, Jia Lei, and Fitz, who had been sent by Jian Chen to act as bait.

"Didn't you say last time that there were only a few dozen enemies, no matter how you look at it!" Jarey complained loudly that Fitz's description did not match the actual thing.

But Ravenketh interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense, run!" ”

If the enemy had only one or two, these two strong warriors might have stayed behind and pretended to have two tricks with each other, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, but now that the tide of surroundment was more than a hundred gnolls, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Of the three, only Fitz was armed with a bow and arrow, so he was the only one who could cause a little trouble for the other party on the way to escape, but he turned around from time to time to shoot two arrows while avoiding the encirclement, creating a hole in the encirclement network and causing a lot of trouble for the jackals.

For this shooter, Silvermane's resentful gaze had already locked on the enemy in the left eye, and it pushed the brute in front of him hard, and roared, "He's mine!" Then he quickly slashed off Fitz's arrows with his axe and chased him in the direction he had fled.

For a while, the two sides chased after me, and formed a noisy straight line in the vast forest.

In terms of height, the Night Elves have a great advantage in long legs and steps, not to mention the short legs of the Gnolls, but also with curved legs, but the short legs also have the advantage of short legs, if only from the explosiveness of the body, the physical condition of the Gnoll is more suitable for this chase than the Night Elves.

Luckily, Raven Keith didn't really have to race against the jackals.

In fact, this time Silvermane led its people into the forest, and it had gone too far, and the location where they encountered the Night Elves was actually not far from the place where the trap had been set, and after this chase, Ravenketh and the others quickly arrived at the place they had set up.

Running past the Chimera perch where the explosives were planted, Jare even turned around and gave a thumbs up to the hidden bushes on the other side.

"I really hope this guy can't do such a stupid thing," Although with the IQ of those jackals, since they have already chased here, they must not be able to detect anything, but Chen Jian still feels that there are some places where he should be more cautious, but the people who need to hear the lesson have already crossed the dirt slope and rushed into those rock-stacked bunkers. Jian Chen glanced at the gnolls who were approaching in a mighty way, and secretly said that there were really a lot of them in his heart, and then turned around and looked at Connie, who had already ignited the rocket on the string: "It's almost." ”

Connie didn't answer, and instead of answering, there was a strong cracking sound of loosening the bowstring.

As with the results of many previous rehearsals, it was a frighteningly beautiful arrow without any mud, only this time the arrow was replaced with a rocket.

Jian Chen's gaze followed the flame, and it landed on the explosive bag covered with grass ash without mistake, and in the next second, the air waves, powder, and strong light swallowed everything.
