75.Chapter 75
No one is more familiar with the steppes than the orcs who live here.
As a high-ranking and knowledgeable witch doctor in the tribe, Sarota naturally knew that the swamp that only appeared during the rainy season, and that it was full of puddles and traps, and was not suitable for grazing at all, so the herdsmen would never come here - and from this, Sarota was even more convinced: how could this human in front of him be as familiar as his own home, a place that even the nomadic orcs did not want to approach?
Looking at Roddy who was circling left and right in front of him, he couldn't help but feel relieved, after the side effects of bloodlust disappeared, another blessing witchcraft was released, and the speed of the wolf was always maintained at the level of sprinting, because Roddy was dodging left and right, and the wolf had an advantage over the war horse on such a curved travel route, so the distance between the whole team and Roddy began to shrink again...
This made Sarota a little excited, but just when they saw the hope of killing Roddy, the terrain in front of them suddenly changed - this swamp was originally called flat, with occasional grassy slopes, and the height difference was not more than three or five meters, but when Sarota followed Roddy straight across a long slope, a huge .
Basin.
In the mist that appeared at some point, I could vaguely see that the earth in front of me formed a circle at the end of the field of vision, and the originally flat earth was sunken down to the middle, the area was not large, but the drop was extremely obvious. A casual lookout of Sarota has estimated that the diameter of its edge should be five or six kilometers.
Such terrain is not uncommon in the grasslands, but it is really strange to appear in the swamp of death.
Roddy in front of him was heading straight for the center of the basin, and Sarota led the team to chase after him frantically, and when he looked at the back in front of him, he noticed that there was a large pond in the center of the basin - in the pale white mist, the whole basin seemed to have huge eyes, and that pond was like a godless pupil, looking at all the strangers who broke into this place in the thick fog...
After the rain, the clouds did not disperse, the sky was overcast, and the fog floating in the center of the basin was getting thicker and thicker because of the condensation of water vapor, and the further forward he went, the lower the visibility, Sarota frowned and looked around, a little wary of this strange environment, and as soon as the speed slowed down slightly, a sharp arrow passed through the center of the team, and the sound of the wind made people shudder, but it made Sarota even more annoyed - at this moment, he lowered his body with a hideous face, reached out and touched the medicine bag on the side of the wolf, and shouted "Rush up!" , instantly made the team exert strength again, and rushed forward.
Sarota's wolf had a pouch containing various medicinal herbs hanging from it, and at this time, he directly grabbed a handful of dark blue herbs and stuffed them into his mouth - because of the limited conditions, the orcs did not have an "alchemist" or "alchemy laboratory", so the "witch doctor" who knew how to identify herbs could only use them in this most primitive way. At this time, the "Soul Grass" eaten by Sarota is the main material of the alchemist's "Mana Recovery Potion", although the effect is not as good as the large bottle of Elixir after the essence, but the effect of "Mana Recovery" is visible.
Apparently he was doing this because he was ready to go all out.
At this time, the ten wolves no longer cared about whether there were traps or mires under their feet, because of the basin, the road surface was already dry compared to before, so the team of wolf cavalry immediately dispersed slightly, and rushed to the front of the faint figure in the mist with all their might.
"It's been a long time."
Roddy, who was riding a horse and rushing forward, took a breath, and the smell of the dense fog reminded him of the haze that he once lived in the imperial capital - "Heh... That's what it smells like. ”
Exhaling the "Character Attribute Bar", his gaze swept over the "Health", the corners of Roddy's mouth pulled out a meaningful smile, and his body turned sideways for the war horse to gallop towards the side of the pond.
In the field of vision, there was no longer the smell of grass after the rain in the air, but it was a little stuffy because of the existence of the mist, and a slight fishy smell could be faintly smelled between the noses, and as the war horse galloped, the smell became more and more intense.
Twisting around and picking up a ball from the side of the saddle, Roddy shook it and threw it out as the war horse galloped past the side of the pond - this was all the meat left by the whole team, and with the acceleration brought by the high-speed running of the war horse, it splashed two or three meters of water at the moment it fell into the pond, and the movement was really not small.
The area of the pond under the dense fog is two or three square kilometers, and the calm water surface is like a mirror, but at this time, it is completely shattered by this large mass of dried meat.
"Drive!"
Roddy rushed past without stopping, and the footsteps of Salrota and the others chasing behind him were approaching, but his eyes glanced at the shaking water, and he silently muttered something in his mouth.
"Seven, six, five, four, three."
There was not much tension between the words, but there was a slight taste of nostalgia. It looked as if he had just dropped a bomb, and the horse had begun to slow down and run more than sixty meters in five or six seconds, and at the moment when Roddy counted "one", Sarota and the others were about to pass by the place where Roddy threw the minced meat.
The visibility in the dense fog was 100 meters, and the action that Roddy did just now Sarota also had some doubts in his eyes - it was not difficult for him to understand that this seemed to be some kind of trick to lure the animals in the water, but after thinking about it, Sarota really didn't know what powerful creatures could live in the pond on this grassland.
The beasts of the grassland, Sarota has seen almost everything she can see in her life, but what can appear in this pond that only appears during the rainy season?
As long as you don't fall into the water, there won't be any accidents at all.
Thinking so, the wooden staff in his hand was also ready, after all, he was a clever witch doctor who had experienced a lot of battles, and in order to avoid any possible situation, Sarota also deliberately slowed down a little and fell behind the group.
Then, the team sprinted to the spot where the meat was thrown from Roddy.
Perhaps it was too far away for the orcs to hear the countdown that had just ended on horseback in the distance, but they heard the sabine words that the creature stopped in place and shouted loudly with his hands in the shape of a trumpet—
"Come out, Shenlong!"
Shenlong?what?
There was a momentary pause in Sarota's mind, but in the next moment, he saw a bizarre scene that he had never heard of in his life...
The wooden staff in his hand was still raised in the air, the scene in front of him was still normal, and at the end of the field of vision in the thick fog, the human who had just shouted strange words stopped vaguely and was looking at him from a distance—but the next moment before he could react, he found that the pool of water beside him had exploded.
The pond where the water was still rippling was instantly torn apart by a huge black shadow, and when the sound of explosion sounded, a huge mouth the size of a wolf's body appeared in front of him extremely abruptly!
With a "bang", the wolf cavalry who couldn't dodge in front of Sarota's side directly hit the huge head, and the whole person flew out directly, but such an impact did not affect the huge, flowing head at all. The bloody mouth suddenly closed, and under the action of the huge bite force, a wolf cavalry who unfortunately passed by was directly bitten in the mouth by the wolf with the company!
The sound of bones shattering was clearly discernible, and Sarota's eyes widened as she stared at the other party's long dagger-sized teeth and blood-red mouth with flesh, and her mind went blank for a moment... But he soon reacted, grabbed the reins with both hands, and his body suddenly leaned sideways, almost grazing the mouth about the size of his own body and dodged - the whole team of ten people, at this time was directly bitten by one person, and six were lucky to dodge, while the remaining three were too late to dodge and hit the monster's head, and were thrown away from the wolf.
Before Sarota could turn back, the screams of the bitten wolf cavalry rang out behind her.
"Ahh
The heart-rending screams just came to an abrupt end, followed by the creepy chewing sound.
Sarota clenched his staff and looked back, his vision making him only frown: the giant beast that emerged from the water was like a giant turtle that looked like a crocodile but had a barbed carapace on its back!
In the "Animal World" broadcast on CCAV, such creatures have a well-known name - "snapping turtle".
Although it is a "turtle", the snapping turtle has an extremely fierce temperament, and Roddy is more aware of all the attributes of the "Zerik" in front of him, who is more than ten meters tall.
Rare Elite, level 15, a mess with high defense.
For the orc wolf cavalry, such creatures will lose any fighting spirit at almost a glance - the scimitars in their hands are not even much bigger than the longest teeth of the opponent, and in terms of rank, except for Sarota, theoretically none of these orcs can break through the opponent's defenses!
"Cunning human!"
Sarota now understood that she had been led into this unimaginable trap - the other party was clearly trying to kill her team with the help of this terrible snapping turtle.
But Sarota was not going to sit still here, he kept his forward posture and immediately shouted to the remaining five subordinates: "Rush out! Get out of here—"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a violent muffled sound behind him, and then the wolf under Sarota's crotch was directly shocked out by a sudden impact!
"It's—"
The vision swirled, and Sarota broke away from the wolf's back uncontrollably, and the five wolf cavalry around him, like himself, were swept into the air by this strange force, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
"Plop..."
Sarota, who had rolled out three or four laps on the ground, was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and when he turned his head and looked at the place where he had just run, he was horrified to find that the ground was torn apart along the claws of the snapping turtle that had fallen to the ground, and all the wolves beside him fell to the ground and vomited blood, whimpering in a low voice, and seeing that he could not stand up.
This guy can do magic?!
