Section 21 Severed finger river beach
As night fell, several sneaky figures cautiously walked through the canyon.
As a pioneer, the ogre's eyesight is not good, especially at night, and many times when he almost trips over a rock under his feet makes Duran once again deeply doubt his future.
From above, the Ogre Canyon is in the shape of a line, but in the center of the canyon, there is a shallow river, which twists and turns, dividing the canyon into east and west.
The stone huts of the ogre tribe were built on the high ground on the east side of the canyon, and if you want to avoid passing through the stone huts, you can only cross the severed finger river beach in the iron mouth and take advantage of the night to quietly travel among the reeds.
Although there are two masters of golden power in his hands, Duran has already been addicted to the power of the fox and the tiger in the iron skin, so it is naturally best to be able to bypass a large number of ogres silently, especially the leader of this group of ogres is unfathomable.
Duran estimates that Tyrant Brooke's strength is even higher than that of the dragonman lord Andrew, after all, dragonman mages are relatively common, and two-headed cannibal mages are too rare.
Of course, the rarer ogre has now become a follower of Duran, and Duran wonders why a violent and brainless race could have given birth to something as strange as Ironhide. However, this kind of thinking is destined to end in desperation, and Duran can only irresponsibly blame it on the evil taste of the god Sivi (the pioneer of the Land of Order, the original god).
The rock golem's tall body is not easy to hide, which is why Duran decided to cross the Severed Finger River beach at night. If his estimate was correct, the knight of the Burning Blood Oath would need to reach the West Mountain Pass until at least tomorrow evening. And he only needs to get out of the Ogre Canyon, and the West Mountain Pass is in front of him.
Time is very favorable to Duran.
"Master, the front is the severed finger river beach." Ironhide's timid voice came from the front.
Duran frowned and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Not daring to light the torches, Duran and the others could only follow the light of the early moon Fanya. Abu was very relieved, and at the moment he was very comfortable lying on the back of the No. 1 puppet and fell asleep, without a trace of nervousness.
Duran jumped off the rock golem and stood side by side with Ironhide.
In front of you are endless reeds, and behind you is a shallow river beach, and the light of the early moon is soft and delicate, turning the white sand on the river beach into bright pearls. The surface of the river is gentle, and the slight waves seem to be large shards of silver scales on it, accompanied by the gentle fluctuation of the waves.
The wind blows over the river, skirts the tranquil beach, and becomes the gentlest caress when it reaches the reeds, like a lover's hand, full of doting and pampering.
Duran was fascinated by the sight, but that wasn't a reason for them to stop.
"There's something in the water?" Duran asked in a low voice.
His perception was good, and he could vaguely feel some throbbing creatures in the reeds and in the river. Unfortunately, the light was too dim, and Duran tried to use his visual skills, but the feedback was very small.
"Yes, master." Ironhide replied respectfully, "There are often Kazbi living in the reeds, and there are aquatic slimes in the river. Neither of these monsters is particularly powerful, but it is a bit disgusting. ”
"I fetched water for him for a while, and once I was besieged by a group of Kazby, and although they couldn't hurt me, these nasty guys always pricked me with their tails...... As you know, it still hurts. The ogre lowered his head in embarrassment.
Duran sighed and shook his head, being bullied by a group of Kazby...... This guy is a waste of firewood, and there is no lower limit.
Kazby is one of the most common wild animals in the continent of Fanan, and this thing is as vigorous as the cockroaches on the earth, and it is ubiquitous and surprisingly fecund. They are social animals, and when they get entangled, they often pull up turnips and bring out the mud. Attacking a Kazby, its three aunts and six women will never miss the opportunity to besiege you.
However, the strength of this animal is actually very low, and it is only level 5 in level, which is basically a cannon fodder monster for novices to level up.
The barbs on Kazby's tail are their only weapons of attack, and the poor creature is incapable of protecting itself. Anyone with a little strength can easily kill more than a dozen litters without panting. Ironhide is also an ogre with the power of gray iron, and he is actually afraid of the reeds because of some Kazby.
Ironhide himself was a little embarrassed, and he could clearly feel a look of disappointment in Duran's eyes.
"Why do I always lack courage?" Ironhide fell into deep self-reproach and shame, "Isn't it just a bunch of little Kazby? How would I be afraid of them when I'm so big? But...... It really hurts......"
For the witty iron sheet, Duran is powerless to complain, and he is afraid that he will be besieged by Kazby because he plays as a striker.
Duran waved his hand and motioned for Iron Sheet to retreat: "Go back, Lao Tzu will open the way." ”
After saying that, Duran took a few steps forward, muttered a spell in his mouth, and immediately activated his stealth skill.
Under the moonlight, Duran vanished in an instant, leaving only a faint shadow that silently crept into the reeds.
"It turns out that the owner is an assassin!"
Tin Hide's heart was apprehensive, and he watched as the two rock golems quickly entered the reeds, and hurriedly followed.
……
Duran went deep into the reeds, and due to the stealth effect, the Kazbis in the reeds could not see him. However, these low-level monsters have been able to survive and multiply on the Fernan Continent for so many years, so they naturally have their abilities.
In the moonlight, a Kazby's nose suddenly moved, as if it smelled something strange. The little thing, which looked not far from a hare, jumped up violently, and who knew that a shadow suddenly appeared, and a hand grabbed the Kazby by the neck.
"Zz......" Kazby's voice was suddenly choked in his throat, and Duran mercilessly ended its life with an oak thorn.
A faint yellow light submerged into Duran's body, and Duran left Kazby in satisfaction and continued to stealth, beginning to search for the next lone Kazby.
As long as it's fast enough to keep the creature from screaming and calling for its companions, Kazby won't be a disaster. A single Kazbi can give Duran 3 XP, which is a bit lower, but it is easier to obtain, and there are many Kazbi in the reeds.
Duranso went on a killing spree and cleaned up Kazby from the reeds.
When the fortieth Kazby died at Duran's hands, a faint white light finally appeared on him.
"Upgraded, level eight, not far from the power of gray iron." Duran casually dropped Kazby's corpse, if it was a real hare, of course he wouldn't mind using it as food, but it is known that Kazby's meat is not only sour but also slightly poisonous, and ogres may be able to feed on Kazby with their strong physique, but Duran is an out-and-out human, not so strong in stomach and digestion.
The Kazby in the reeds was almost chased by Duran, and the iron and rock golems had already crossed the reeds during this time, waiting quietly for Duran on the beach of the Severed Finger.
Abu continued to fall asleep, but Ironhide was a little curious: "Does the master have any deep hatred for Kazbi?" Why is he so keen on killing these pesky little things? ”
Just as the ogre was thinking, Duran stepped out of the reeds, his body stained with a lot of blood, and his physical strength was also exhausted.
At this time, most of the time of the early moon has been consumed, and the blue moon on the distant horizon is eager to try, Duran waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
Killing Kazby gave Duran's strength another point, and each additional point of strength before the West Mountain Pass increased the success rate of Duran's plan.
The Severed Finger River Beach was so shallow that it could only submerge One's knees, and the two behemoths slowly trudged over under Duran's command, alarming a large area of aquatic life.
Among them, the aquatic slime is the most active, and these lower creatures are constantly jumping up from the water to try to attack the creatures that provoke them.
However, the rock golem's skin is harder than steel, and with the water jets of these aquatic slimes, it can't hurt One and Two at all. The level of the slime is even lower than that of Kazby, and the experience is even lower, so Duran naturally has no interest in killing it himself.
The two rock golems ran over the river and reached the other side of the river very smoothly. The rock golems are so defenseally fortified that the slimes can't do anything about them, so it's no surprise that the Iron Sheets who follow them become the object of the aquatic critter's wrath.
The ogre's skin, though also very hard, has not yet reached the point of ignoring the column of water. What's more, Ironskin's skin is known for its beauty and charm, and it is inevitable that it will be inferior in defense.
"Master, I'm surrounded!" Ironhide stood in the middle of the river, watching in horror as a large group of aquatic slimes surrounded him menacingly.
"Are you surrounded by a pack of mountain hungry wolves?"
Duran's voice came from the shore.
Ironhide took a step forward, trying to chase away the goo, only to find that the number of aquatic slimes seemed to be accumulating.
"No, it's a bunch of aquatic slimes." Iron Hide stubbornly begged for help: "Master, can you ask those two puppet brothers to do a favor......
"Don't even think about it!" Duran's voice came: "One, two, let's go." ”
Ironhide wailed, "Master, you can't just leave me like that! ”
Duran scolded angrily: "Get out, don't call me master!" A bunch of slimes can surround you, so what's the use of you! ”
The ogre suddenly felt a grievance in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: I didn't resist when you forcibly accepted me as a follower before.
Seeing the figures of Duran and the rock puppet gradually disappear from his field of vision, Iron Hide suddenly became a little anxious: "In the past ten years, I was regarded as a waste by the people of the tribe and abandoned by them. Am I going to be abandoned by my master again today? ”
"Ironskin, you're not a piece of waste, you have to muster up courage." A voice said to him.
The ogre gritted his teeth, and suddenly his eyes flashed red: "I want to see how the master deals with Bald Bell, I can't just fall like this!" ”
Ironhide closed his eyes and ran wildly, a large splash of water splashed on the surface of the river, and countless slimes flew out sideways. Ironhide ran wildly in spite of everything, and the ogre's tall body finally did his part, and almost in a matter of seconds, he was rushing onto the dry river beach.
"Good job, Ironskin, but that slime on your ass doesn't seem a little happy."
Duran joked as he stepped out of the shadows.
The ogre was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look over.
I saw a reddish-brown aquatic slime hanging on his buttocks, this guy has some use with other slimes, and there is a pair of crab-like claws on his slimy body!
"Master, this is ......" Tin Hide swallowed with a shudder.
Duran blinked: "Don't worry, this is a red pincer slime, you can hit him for ten ...... with one person"
Before the words fell, the red pincer slime's huge claws suddenly opened and clamped fiercely on the ogre's huge buttocks!
"Whew...... Yes! ”
The ogre's heart-rending voice suddenly sounded on the ground.
(There was something in the evening, so the second was updated earlier~ By the way, I asked for a ticket, the new book is very needed)
