Chapter 95: Yeguno's fangs
After the hyena swallowed the flesh torn from the neck of the middle-aged woman, its body began to change, and slowly turned into a two-legged standing, more and more like the gnolls standing next to the play.
As soon as it was halfway through, it was pierced by a strong acid arrow through its neck, "Hehe", and an ugly sound came out of its throat, and it fell unwillingly.
The other gnoll only felt that something flickered in front of him, and his awakened companion fell down with his neck clutched, and he was terrified, and when he looked around, there was nothing, and he was even more frightened, and he didn't even care about the corpse of his companion, and fled desperately.
Chen Mian, who was hovering above them with a phantom wing card, was a little speechless, and the timid gnoll looked around suspiciously, but forgot to look into the sky.
She fell, the energy of the phantom wing card was consumed, the card shattered, and disappeared into Chen Mian's hand.
Chen Mian summoned a falcon and told it to follow the gnolls who had run away, hoping to find the gnolls' stronghold.
Through the gap between the half-squatting corpses at the entrance of the cave, Chen Mian saw the two children shivering inside, hugging each other tightly, the older girl pursed her mouth tightly, and covered the boy next to her with one hand.
The scream that Chen Mian heard at that time should have been made by the little boy, but unfortunately the hyena had already bitten the middle-aged woman's neck at that time, and she had already swallowed her breath when she arrived.
She couldn't help but wonder if she would have come sooner if she hadn't gone to the lord's castle for dinner tonight, but unfortunately at that time she only wanted to negotiate with Lord Glass first.
Chen Mian gently cut open the cave wall with the hand of a mage, and moved the middle-aged woman's body away, she still maintained the stiff state she was in when she died.
Gently closing her eyes, Chen Mian crouched down to the entrance of the cave and said in his gentlest voice, "Come out, the monster has been driven away." ”
Seeing that the entrance of the cave was a big sister, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't control it anymore, and cried, she and the little boy crawled out and threw themselves on the middle-aged woman and cried, "Mom......"
Chen Mian went over and touched their heads, "It's okay, your mother has become a fairy, watching you from the side, do you want to see it?" ”
She cast an invisible illusion, transforming into their mother's appearance, and with the illusion technique, "Don't cry, you have to be strong to live, and your mother will protect you in the future where you can't see." ”
The two children saw their mother's phantom and their eyes widened, "Mom, have you really become a fairy?" ”
Phantom nodded, reaching out and hugging them virtually, "Good boy, mom is leaving." ”
The apparition vanished, and the little boy cried, "Mom, don't go. The little girl wiped her tears, "Mom, I will protect my brother as well as you protect us......"
Chen Mian cremated the body of the middle-aged woman and buried it to prevent her from being dragged out and eaten by wild beasts after her death.
Feeding one of them a magic berry, the little boy was not very clear about the concept of losing his mother, and was quickly distracted, eating the magic berry and exclaiming, "It's so sweet, big sister, I'm not hungry." ”
The little girl was a lot more sensible, and after thanking Chen Mian, she clearly told the beginning and the end. They are children from a nearby village who were attacked by jackals a few days ago, and only a few women and children escaped, but they have been chased by hyenas.
In the end, they were the only ones left, and they were stuffed by their mother into the hole that their father had dug out to hide his prey when he went out hunting.
Chen Mian spoke to Lord Glass, saying that he had found two survivors of the gnolls attacking the village, and that he would send them back later.
Lord Grass adopted many orphans in the wilderness, and the two children would not at least starve to death in the future.
Chen Miansai gave the little girl a small piece of gold and a few pieces of broken silver, and told her to put it away and take it out when she grew up.
Then use the summoning mount to summon the vulture horse, the two children are not heavy, and the vultures can be easily carried. Command the vultures to slow down and get them safely to the castle in the southeast.
After sending them away, Chen Mian called down the falcon that had been back for a while and was hovering above its head, and it found a large number of gnolls.
Chen Mian followed it on the witch's flying broomstick, and soon found that on the ruins of a village, many gnolls and hyenas were sleeping soundly, and only the hyenas and gnolls on the perimeter were looking around weakly.
The cowardly gnolls returned to the stronghold only to feel safe, and when questioned by others, it lied that the hyena had failed to awaken and that those who had escaped were killed by it.
This result caused a sigh of embarrassment, and sometimes the fierce resistance of humans can indeed hurt hyenas, after all, they are not as powerful as gnolls.
Chen Mian hovered over the ruins for a long time, checked the attributes of each gnoll, and found two different ones, one of them was wearing animal skin armor and the other was wearing chain mail, which was much better equipped than the other gnolls.
They drank on a high platform made of building rubble in the center of the ruins.
"Race Gnolls
Health 100
Attributes: Strength 22, Constitution 25, Agility 13, Intelligence 10, Perception 11
Skill rampant, multiple attacks; gnawing; Claw Strike"
The one in animal skin armor did not have the usual weapons such as grass and bows among the gnolls, but his teeth were sharper than those of the other gnolls, glowing black.
Chen Mian saw that it was on an equal footing with the big man next to him who was carrying a longbow and machete, much stronger than the other gnolls, and was obviously the leader of the gnolls, so he carefully checked its skills that looked no different from other gnolls, and only then did he find that its bite was poisonous, and the poison caused by Yeguno's fangs.
The attributes of the gnoll leader are similar to those of Yeguno Fang, except that his intelligence is lower, and he is more skilled in machetes and longbows.
Chen Mian was not sure that he could kill them all at once, and a sneak attack was unlikely, mainly because there was an unobstructed view here, and there was no place to block the view.
She thought for a moment, and went back to the periphery to wait for the little black who was hurrying over, and when it was almost dawn, it finally arrived.
Chen Mian pulled it back to the attached space and pulled out a few glass bottles.
It was a poison she had found at Grandma Vig's house, and had been identified one by one using identification. Three vials of drowsy poison, two vials of poison that directly kill, and one vial of paralyzing poison.
Chen Mian told Xiao Hei one by one that he should find an opportunity to go down to the well water and wine in the evening, and it was best to put poison that made people sleepy first, and the rest of the people were looking for an opportunity to use it when most of the people were asleep.
There was only one well in the village, not far from the high platform where the gnoll leader was staying. The barrels are piled up not far away.
After dawn, many gnolls went out with hyenas, and Chen Mian left Xiao Hei to familiarize himself with the terrain and summoned the falcon to follow the jackals who went out.
Chen Mian only killed a team of gnolls who found humans, and the others were not alarmed.
This group of people was wiped out half a month ago, and they escaped along the tunnels in the village, and they really didn't have anything to eat before they chose to venture out and go to Grasse Town.
Chen Mian used the soft stone technique to create a hiding hole for them underground, leaving the Divine Berry for them to hide here for the time being, and when it was safe to come and pick them up.
