Chapter 586: The Gnoll Leader (3/3)
Nineteen kilometers northwest of the Iron Tree camp is a dark wood, and the terrain of the forest is undulating, forming a forest valley.
In the place of the mouth of the valley is a huge wooden stake, and on the stake is a string of heads, the heads of beasts and the heads of the Holy Spirit warriors. Some of these heads have been dried, some have rotted, black and red maggots have burrowed in and out of the eye sockets of the heads, and some of the heads have become white dry bones.
Walking along the dirty path strewn with minced meat, dung, rotting grass stalks, and mud, you can see a small thatched hut, and the rough panting sound comes out with the smell of wild beasts.
This is Taniguchi's jackal guard.
The interior of the valley is shaded by a canopy, and the light becomes darker, and the smell of rot and decay in the air increases. Looking in from the valley mouth, in the darkness, there are dark red points of light flashing from time to time, and occasionally there is a strange laughter, if a mortal comes here to take a look, it will definitely be terrified, and he will never forget the scene here.
Not just mortals, in fact, when Ertumon received the oracle and came to this filthy gnoll lair, he felt that he would never forget this ghost place for the rest of his life.
When he reached the mouth of the valley, and the jackal guard stuck out his tongue and licked his face, pasting the inexplicable foul saliva on his face, he swore in his heart that he would never come close to the gnolls in his life after this mission was completed.
The Jackal Guard remembered his taste. With a strange smile in his mouth, he ran to the depths of the forest valley with small steps to report.
After about five or six minutes, strange laughter came from the depths of the valley. Immediately after, there was a large number of footsteps. After a while, a group of tall and stout gnolls rushed out, led by the gnolls who were nearly three meters tall, their hair was as black as iron, and the brilliance in their eyes was scarlet and scarlet, making people dare not look directly.
Ertumen didn't dare, he looked at it and lowered his eyes. Then he saluted and said humbly: "Zahu, I have come by the oracle of Kaus, the god of madness. ”
"I know you. Ertumen, Kaes's mouthpiece, what new ideas does Kaus have this time? The voice of the leader of the gnolls who shouted to be Zahu sounded muffled, but if you listened closely, you could hear it clearly.
"He wants you to get rid of that intruder camp not far away." Ertumen bowed his head. On the one hand, it is about showing humility and self-preservation. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid the stench that came out of the mouth of the gnoll leader, and by the way, he also hoped that the jackal saliva on his face would flow down his face as soon as possible, so as not to blur his eyes.
As for drying off your saliva, he didn't think about it, because as far as he knew, wiping off the saliva that these gnolls stick on your face can easily irritate them, especially when rubbing them in front of them.
Zahu snorted coldly: "Don't talk about Kauss, I also want to eradicate that ugly ghost who stretches out his feet!" Those ugly dog things killed my strikers! ”
In the eyes of the gnolls. They are the first perfect race in the world, and the gnoll woman is the most beautiful thing in the world. And all the other intelligent creatures were so ugly that they could barely look at it, including the pale-faced Winged Demon Divine Envoy in front of him.
Not knowing what to make of the Gnoll's worldview, Ertumen sensibly didn't hear him, and continued, "Leader Zahu, there is no doubt that you are very powerful. Although you volunteered to kill all the intruders, your actions did my master a great favor. So the host asked me to give this to you as a thank you. ”
He had to say that if it was God's reward, or if God was afraid that you would not be able to defeat your opponent and gave you some strength, then these arrogant gnolls would be furious, and then take everything from him and tear him to pieces.
Ertumen took out a small dark red bead, flicked his fingers, and the bead flew lightly towards Zahu, the leader of the gnolls.
Zahu took it with one hand, looked at it carefully, and then was overjoyed: "It turned out to be the essence of the wild, very good, very good, Kaus is really the most generous god in the world." You go back and tell him that those ugly ghosts will become poop for our gnolls in three days at the latest. ”
Wild Essence, when activated, can release a group support magic spell, which can increase the power of dark creatures within a hundred meters by more than 50%, and there will be no fear in the heart.
This thing, combined with the talent of the jackal, can squeeze out all the potential of the jackal, and the jackal will have unrivaled power in a short period of time, even the most powerful demon dragon in the abyss will temporarily avoid the edge.
Ertumen said no more, bowed slightly to the leader of the gnolls, and then withdrew from the filthy lair that he would never forget, and as soon as he reached the lair, he wiped his face madly before spreading his wings and leaving......
While the gnolls were planning an attack on Rollin's camp, Rollin was leading a group of warriors to set traps around the camp.
From the mouth of the gnoll captive, Rollin knew that the gnoll was ready to do something to them. The twenty warriors had come to inquire that the gnolls' attack would arrive shortly after.
Because of the successive hunting of powerful abyssal creatures, a lot of Force has been accumulated in the camp, and the range around the camp has reached three hundred meters, and the strength in the camp can maintain this purification scale for three months.
Of course, although this iron and steel tree camp is well developed, it has little potential, and the surrounding transportation is too inconvenient, and when the abyssal creatures are cleared, the warriors have to take these dangerous forest roads to find the abyssal creatures in the distance.
If the camp is on the banks of the Red Water River, then there is no problem, he can build a wooden boat all the way down the river, and when the time comes, there will be a bay crocodile mountain to escort them, and their purification area will become very wide.
Therefore, Rollin was not prepared to run this Wild Steel Tree camp as a permanent sentry, so he did not spend too much manpower to build any parapets around it, and knowing that the gnolls were ready to attack, he began to lay traps around the camp.
The traps are very simple, they are big pits, and there are no sharp stakes or anything like that at the bottom of the pits, only underground water, and the water is released by the priest and a lot of divine power is integrated. On the pit, however, there are runes that hide the breath.
These runes can not only hide the aura of divine power, but also give the cover on the pit a certain strength. It's absolutely fine for one or two gnolls to step on it, and once the number exceeds ten, the cover will immediately break.
For dark creatures, this kind of trap is like an oil pot, as long as it falls, it will definitely be fried by the holy water below!
What's more, Luo Lin sent people to cut down many thorns, and the dark aura on the thorns was all purified, densely covered with divine power. The thorns obscured most of the places where there were no traps, leaving a trail of death filled with traps for the gnolls to pass through.
It can be said that as long as the gnolls dare to come, it will definitely be the end of the total annihilation.
And Rollin believes that the gnolls will definitely come and take the initiative to attack. It's not just a matter of imagination, and he has a good reason for it.
First, the current situation is that the gnolls are strong and they are weak.
Second, in the process of dealing with the gnoll captives, Rollin found that this kind of thing is not very easy to use, and is arrogant, believing that he is naturally superior, and that other races are idiots and mentally retarded. This is confirmed by what the scouts heard.
Such gnolls, once they get angry, they will not use any tactics at all, they will not do anything like ambushing the outgoing warriors outside the camp, they will definitely directly use brute force to attack.
So Rollin was sure that these traps around the camp would come in handy.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, everything was ready, and the soldiers began to prepare food for dinner, and smoke rose from the cooking.
From the outside of the camp, it seemed that the camp was unguarded, and it was waiting for someone to ravage it.
In the woods outside the Ironwood camp, the gnolls have also arrived, hiding in the woods, waiting for the night of the abyss. (To be continued......)
