"Chief, why did you come to the bank of the river again?" After the group was freed from the mud and dirty water, the convoy formed by the carriage slowly moved towards the upper reaches of the river again. Although walking downstream along the river is also a way to get out of the wasteland, the problem is that it has to be the river flowing out of the wasteland. Unfortunately, all the rivers in the wasteland are inner 6 rivers, and if Chen Kai and the others go downstream of the river, then they will enter the hinterland of the wasteland, which is a truly terrifying place.
"Isn't that obvious? Walk along the riverbank closer! Although Chen Kai said this, he actually knew very well how dangerous it was to walk along the riverbank, especially after they had just eaten a water elemental spell of the ninth order, the Water Dragon's Fury, and he was even more apprehensive in his heart. However, after a certain distance, Chen Kaixian's road on the bank of the wasteland river is relatively flat compared to the more rugged wasteland. Of course, the biggest reason why Chen Kai had to choose to walk along the river bank was that he wanted to avoid a gathering place of intelligent creatures in the wasteland, and this was what Chen Yi and the others told him in the communicator.
The intelligent creatures in the wasteland are definitely not just humans and the rogue bucktooth rabbits who have failed to rob, the least thing that has intelligence is that they can use tools. Although I don't want to admit it, the swamp monster clan that makes Chen Kai and them disgusted can actually be regarded as intelligent creatures, even if their intelligence is sometimes only equivalent to that of a child of three or four years old, and they are not necessarily as smart as Chen Kai's war horse, that is, Ral. Of course, what makes Lal no better than the swamp monster is that it can't speak, and can only use hissing and body movements to express itself.
The intelligent race in this wasteland is naturally not a low-fighting existence like swamp monsters, in fact, if this kind of guy called Goblin by the player appears in the wasteland, they may not survive for more than a month. At least in some ways, the rogue bucktooth bunnies are stronger than the goblins, at least they are the most intelligent creature-level monsters in the game world, though not necessarily the most numerous and powerful. Chen Yi: The intelligent creatures they encountered were not swamp monsters, nor rogue bucktooth rabbits, nor even any monsters that Chen Kai had ever seen.
The Orcs are the most numerous and complex race in the game. Because he is not entirely made up of one race. In fact, it is estimated that even the orcs themselves are not clear how many groups there are in the entire orc clan, at least the orc clans known to outsiders include minotaurs, lion people, werewolves, tiger people, rabbit people, fox tribes, and so on. As for Chen Kai, the intelligent race they needed to bypass was very unfortunate, although they may have been members of the orc clan in the past, but now they have long been expelled. Because they were banished from all orc tribes and still had a tradition of cannibalism, the gnolls, in fact they were not even included in the orc family in the first place, because their bodies only looked like people. Of all the orcs, the Gnolls are the only ones who have not seen any resemblance to humans, even if they are considered the ugliest pigmen, at least some of them are slightly passable-looking and have a slight resemblance to ugly humans.
Only the Gnolls have always looked like that from the very beginning to the present, ugly and hideous, and they feed exclusively on humans, or rather like to eat the most. This is why Chen Kai would choose to walk along the dangerous river bank rather than follow the established path, because if they did, they would unfortunately pass through the edge of the gnolls' territory. Chen Kai didn't want to meet those ugly gnolls. Therefore, he chose the dangerous river bank of Guò, at least in some sense, the river bank was far safer than the territory of the gnolls.
"Hurry up! Fourth! Can you not talk nonsense! We need to hurry up and get through here! Is that all you want to feed the crocodiles? Chen Kai said in the team channel, and his eyes never left the river. It's just that just when Chen Kai's eyes were fixed on the riverbank, Fei Yun suddenly heard other voices in their ears.
"And what's the sound?" Fei Yun elbowed Zhao Tiezhu, who was busy cleaning up the broken branches on the road to prevent them from getting stuck in the spokes of the wheels.
"Huh? What the? What a sound! Zhao Tiezhu just threw out a branch that looked large, and the carriage often encountered such things on this river beach, which is why the group did not like the river beach One of the reasons why there were too many debris affected by it.
"Haha! Fresh human flesh!! Just as Zhao Tiezhu threw out the branch in his hand, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he saw more than a dozen black figures rushing out of the small bushes on the bank of the river. Lunged at them.
"Damn! Why are there jackals here, too! Chen Kai looked at the dozen or so black shadows that rushed out wielding bone weapons, his face changed suddenly, he didn't hear the howl of the gnoll, but there was no doubt that he had seen the target rushing towards him. It was a dozen or so gnolls who looked very robust, at least more robust than the scattered gnolls in the rest of the moor. The most important thing was that he saw that these gnolls had a brass V-shaped pattern on their chests. The leading one has silver-white lines. The former means that they are at least elite-level beings, and the latter represent commander-level guys.
"That's not a good sign!" Guan Yu rubbed his head, there was still some mud and sand on it that had not been completely cleaned, but now Guan Yu didn't have time to clean it. He was well aware of the threat posed by the gnolls. Although their combat effectiveness may not be high, they are unusually cruel and ferocious.
"It doesn't matter if he's a good omen! I only know that dead jackals are good gnolls! Without hesitation, Su Xinghe pulled out the giant sword from behind his back, and the blades of the giant sword quickly collided with the claws of the jackals. Look at the sparks flickering on the blade. Su Xinghe knew that the other party's claws, whether they were hardness or sharpness, were not much different from his giant sword.
"Pillars! Block them! Don't let them get close to the wagon! Chen Kai's giant sword roared towards the body of a gnoll, but the other party quickly dodged away. The sharp greatsword didn't even touch the other's fur,
"How can these guys move so fast! Are you sure they're gnolls and not something else? Zhao Tiezhu tried to hit a gnoll man with his shield, but the result was a pounce, and the opponent's sharp claws directly cut several holes in his armor.
"Oh! Damn it! How can these guys' claws be so sharp! The claws I used to kill were as dull as wood! The corners of Zhao Tiezhu's mouth hissed lightly, and several blood marks slowly seeped out under the torn armor behind him.
"Nonsense! How high the defense of your previous armor was! Now this body is ordinary iron work! The corners of Su Xinghe's eyes kept catching the movements of these jackals, and their swiftness made the group feel unprepared.
Of course, this kind of surprise is not enough for them to be unable to catch these gnolls. It's just that they can't solve a few at the beginning. A few gnolls quickly crossed the defensive line that Chen Kai had hastily constructed, and then pounced on several carriages. Their claws gripped the carriage of the carriage as fast as they could, and then everyone heard the sound of wood breaking and the frightened screams of the dwarven women and children in the carriage. Anyone who suddenly sees a few more paw prints on the carriage will be nervous, especially when they appear with the sound of sawdust flying.
"! Where did this scum come from! Armand's voice was filled with rage, as he couldn't aim at these fast-moving things. These gnolls are faster than the running wolves, and at least Armand can easily aim at the wolves and shoot them, but he can't target them. The gnolls were so quick that by the time Armand raised his gun, the other had already rushed in front of him.
The only thing Armand could do was pick up the Dwarven King's cannon in his hand and place it in front of him, and then the musket that made Fei Yun salivate have a few more scars on it. Although Armand's muskets are made of very strong materials, the claws of these gnolls are also very sharp, and the result is that the solid musket has a few more marks on the body that make Armand scratch his head.
"Pillars! Block it! I'm cǎo! Why is this guy rushing at me! When Fei Yun shouted at Zhao Tiezhu, he saw that the gnoll man with silver lines on his chest was roaring and rushing towards him with fresh meat. Seeing the other party's sharp claws that were more than thirty centimeters long, Fei Yun felt that the dagger in his hand might not be long enough and hard enough.
"Ahh Fourth! Ask for your own blessings! I'm very busy right now! Zhao Tiezhu's eyes also saw the gnoll leader who rushed towards Fei Yun, although the other party's level was about the same as them, it was a relatively middle level in this wasteland. Most of the wasteland creatures have a minimum strength of more than the fifth order, while the seventh order is almost all elite and commander level, of course, those above the half-lord level are above the eighth order. The gnoll leader that Fei Yun needs to face is a level 78 monster, the only problem is that he is just a monster with a silver-edged elite avatar and a ruler template.
Of course, it was just that this word was a little bit problematic for Fei Yun, because the moment the dagger collided with the opponent's claws, he felt that his arms were about to be broken. What frustrated him was that he had to use the Violent Kinetic Energy skill to burst with tremendous power and power in an instant, allowing his hands to swing fast enough to attack and block quickly enough to stop the gnoll in front of him from tearing his body into delicious strips of meat.
"Bell, bell!" The continuous crash came from between Fei Yun's dagger and the gnoll's claws. And the continuous blessing of violent momentum caused Fei Yun's arms, who had gradually adapted to this skill, to begin to tear and bleed. The constant frenzied swings made Fei Yun's face hidden under the thief's mask begin to become hideous, and even his breathing began to become heavy. In fact, Fei Yun's body had already begun to become overdrawn, because the use of violent kinetic energy was too heavy a burden on Fei Yun's body. Although he worked hard to exercise his body, the burden on his body from the skill of violent kinetic energy was definitely more terrifying than Chen Kai's power explosion, because it was not a blessing skill that could be used sustainably. For every second Fei Yun used violent kinetic energy, he needed to pay nearly ten more points. And his overall lì value can only last a maximum of thirty seconds of fighting.
"Pillars! I can't hold it anymore! The dagger in Fei Yun's hand swung faster and faster, but the strength in his arms became lighter and lighter, because his arms were almost unable to bear the consequences of the continued use of violent kinetic energy. If he continued to use it, then the muscles in his arm would shatter. It's not just bleeding out, as it is now.
"If I can't hold it, what can I do!" The shield in Zhao Tiezhu's hand kept blocking the attacks of the two gnolls, and he couldn't even make a counterattack, so he could only let the claw marks on the shield get more and more. If it weren't for the fact that this shield was a saint-level shield of the Dwarven King's Guard, perhaps there were already too many claw marks on the shield to pierce the shield claws. Of course, these traces will slowly heal themselves over time. If Zhao Tiezhu could stimulate the true power of the shield, then there would be no traces of these at all.
"Please! You're mt, and at this time you actually said there was no way! Oh! Damn, I really can't hold it anymore! Lao Tzu's body has bottomed out! Fei Yun's face instantly turned white, although there was still a small amount of body value at this time, Fei Yun already felt that his eyes were dazzled and his whole body was weak, and the violent momentum was no longer able to be maintained at this time. Then the dagger in Fei Yun's hand was directly knocked away by the claws of the jackal, and then he heard a voice that made him extremely depressed.
"Human! I'm sick of your resistance! You must know that if you exercise too much, the meat will get old! The gnoll's claws were draped with drops of Fei Yun's blood, and its hideous face was slowly licking its bloody claws with its tongue.
"Die! You slag that deserves to be thrown into the furnace! Armand still had a stinky streak of blood on his face, left for him by a gnolla who had fallen on the wagon. Of course, there was a large wound in his chest, and the claw marks on the wound almost cut through his muscles, exposing the bones underneath.
However, despite the severe pain in his chest, Armand still managed to reload his musket. Then he raised the musket in his hand and aimed at the gnoll leader who was about to plunge his claws into Fei Yun's chest. With a huge gunshot, the gnoll commander who was standing in front of Fei Yun was hit and flew backwards violently, and was directly knocked to the ground.
"Thank you! Armand! I owe you once! Fei Yun lay on the ground and raised his finger at Armand, who now didn't even have the strength to stand up. Armand, on the other hand, kept panting with his musket, and then tremblingly took out a bottle of healing and trauma medicine from the pouch on his waist and sprinkled it on himself. It's just that the next moment, the potion in his hand rolled uncontrollably to the ground, because a gnoll man behind him was slowly raising the claws in his hand.
"Your attack hurts me! Dwarf! So I'm going to tear off your meat piece by piece and eat it!" "The gnoll commander had a bleeding wound on his waist, and this time the bullet from Armand's musket did not explode as directly as before, but a dud. This dud would not have much of a problem in normal times, but now it is quite deadly.
"!" Fei Yun's face became extremely ugly when he saw this situation. The only thing he could do was pull out the crossbow at his waist and pull the gnoll claws before they landed on Armand. It's just that these crossbow arrows shot were gently flicked by the other party with their claws, and these crossbow arrows were instantly knocked out.
"Don't worry! Mankind! You'll be the next one to be eaten! Maybe the meat on your arm is a little old, but I can eat somewhere else! Kindness! Maybe I can try grilling it! The expression on the gnoll's face was extremely hideous. And as his words fell, the power in his hand plunged into Armand's head, as if it was going to penetrate his head directly.
But just as his claws were about to hit Armand's head, the three muskets rang out, and the gnoll leader had three more holes. A trickle of blood trickled down Armand's head. And the gnoll man behind him had an extremely hideous expression on his face. Unfortunately, the next moment his body fell from the carriage, because a bullet shot directly into his eye exploded its head.
"This guy is definitely the most aggrieved gnoll leader to die!" Fei Yun slowly crawled to Armand's side, picked up the potion on the ground and stuffed it into Armand's mouth. Then stuff the rest into your own mouth. Feeling the lacerations on his arms gradually healing, Fei Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least I'm not the one who died!" Armand smiled wryly and began to hiss, as Fei Yun sprinkled the powder of the wound medicine on his wound as he spoke.
"Hey! You should at least remind me! Armand clutched his grip on the painful wound and inhaled as the effect of the powder on the wound made him feel unusually painful.
"Remind you that you don't feel more pain!" Fei Yun slowly sat up with his arms propped up, he didn't have the strength to fight now, and of course he didn't need to fight now. The dwarves killed the gnolls with their muskets, and the remaining gnolls were terrified, especially when they knew they would die if they continued to attack. Therefore, the remaining gnolls quickly fled towards the bushes, and Chen Kai and the others did not even have the ability to chase after them, because they left too quickly. (To be continued......)
