Chapter 20: The Eerie Forest and the Power of Terror
Probably the most common monsters in the Beechcraft Forest are the aboriginal orcs who live here.
This humanoid creature is generally two to two meters five in height and weighs more than four hundred pounds, and has an extremely strong physique and terrifying strength.
If it was before the "Divine Skill" was completed, Nanshan would definitely not want to have any substantial close contact with the orcs, even if he successfully promoted to level 9, his attributes were already close to three times the standard of ordinary people, and he didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with this kind of powerful monster.
If you slash someone with a knife, it doesn't hurt, and if someone smashes you with a stick, a quarter or a fifth of the blood will be gone, and fools know how to choose.
Even if the orcs can't keep up with their agility and can't keep up with their reaction speed, Nanshan hates to meet them in the forest. Because, the orcs with the habit of simple tribal activities are generally infested in groups, and they rarely give people a chance to go head-to-head when they take the initiative to attack humans, and they almost all rush to the top.
Before, if he kept taking drugs, he could deal with two or three at the same time, but once the number was too large, there was no way.
But now, Nanshan said that as long as the number of one-time appearances does not exceed ten, the other party can come as many as he wants, and there is no need to run.
Of course, for the sake of insurance, Nanshan still prepared more than a dozen teleportation scrolls before this, some of which returned to the city directly, and some of which were randomly teleported, to ensure that even if they were surrounded by the half-orcs of the brigade, they would be able to escape smoothly.
Still using the fastest way to travel, Nanshan tore off the random teleportation scroll that he had opened, and when he reappeared, he was already surrounded by countless ancient trees.
"The atmosphere here is really eerie enough, and I don't know if it's because of the environment itself, or if it's the residual dark power......
The entire interior of the forest was quiet, lacking the infinite vitality that should be in a normal natural state, and the light was dim, Nanshan couldn't help but gasp as he looked around through the faint light that came down from a height of more than ten meters.
With the exception of some pristine rainforests, it is rare to see such a dense and old vegetation cover on Earth.
The space below ten meters is fine, the occlusion is not serious, and you can see the traces of many large and giant creatures passing through. The branches that grew along the way could not stop the progress of these monsters, and they were either broken by the force of immense force, or they turned into rotting soil under the broad soles of their feet, and they used their brute force to brutally carve out a clear path directly through the narrow dense forest. But at a height of more than ten meters, after there are no traces of the frequent activities of large creatures, the countless branches and leaves extending from the canopy of the trees are densely covered by the sky, and only a very small amount of light can be transmitted down, so that people will not be completely blackened.
"Fortunately, I came out in the morning, the density of monsters has been greatly reduced, if I had come over yesterday afternoon, it would have been the most dangerous time."
Nanshan observed for a while, and found that these paths were all in the direction of Beach City, obviously, to find out where these monsters were, all they had to do was to keep walking in the opposite direction.
He didn't have to wait long, and soon Nanshan saw a small group of half-orcs next to a hill with slightly lower vegetation density.
"Hey, these guys seem to be a lot weaker than the ones I saw last night......"
Nanshan felt strange, according to his eyesight, none of the seven or eight half-orcs who appeared here were more than two meters tall, as if they were minors, and their eyes also had a rare clarity, not as fierce and terrifying as the red-eyed half-orcs he saw last night.
These should be ordinary orcs in a normal state, and they have not been completely controlled by the dark forces, so their bodies and strength have not changed greatly.....
Nanshan guessed in his heart, too, it is impossible that those crazy orcs who risked their lives to attack the city came out of thin air, such a wave of leeks cut, no matter how many of them are not enough, there must be more normal orcs as their base, slowly being affected and transformed by the evil force.
But it seems that this has nothing to do with the purpose of his presence here.
Nanshan scratched his chin, looked at the half-orcs who were happily playing in the forest, and smashed them with a fireball technique very decisively.
Under the remote control of the psychic power, the scorching fireball bypassed several large trees blocking its path, landed in front of the head of a half-orc in the right place, and then exploded!
In an instant, the flames that had been compressed to the limit began to expand, and the high-temperature energy that raged not only blew the orc to the ground, but also completely stunned the other orcs. Living in the depths of the forest, it was the first time that they had been attacked by humans, not to mention, it was still this kind of magic attack that they had never seen before. As if they had blown up a pot, several orcs were stunned for a moment before they could react, some screaming to drag their fallen companion to safety, others looking around in panic to find the location of the attacker.
However, it is obvious that they have not yet been able to find the location of Nanshan. As a master of jungle adventure, Nanshan's methods of hiding and hiding are also first-class, how can people casually find him shooting black guns from a distance. Having reached an advanced level of wilderness survival skills, he easily let him use the cover of trees to avoid the searching eyes of these orcs for the first time.
Aside from the faint smell of a human being in the downwind area, all they saw was another fireball.
Bang bang!
The fireball flew accurately in front of the hapless orc and hit it hard, and not only that, but the flames and shock waves from the explosion were also blown up by the other two companions who tried to rescue the orc.
Wow, ah.....hhh
With an angry roar, these orcs finally determined the location of Nanshan from the direction where the third fireball came from, and immediately separated four orcs to outflank them.
It's a pity that Nanshan doesn't care about these half-orcs running over at all, the so-called thousand birds are not as good as a bird in the forest, the important thing is to kill the other party's living force.
The fourth fireball was still shot in the direction of the orcs who were about to hang up.
Just halfway through the flight, Nanshan's spiritual power moved, and after the fireball technique turned around in midair, it immediately changed its original direction and shot at a half-orc who was closest to the fireball's range, directly blowing it to the ground.
Sure enough, these orcs were no match for the orcs who appeared last night, both in terms of size and life.
The reason why Nanshan changed his goal was that the intelligent assistant in his mind had already prompted him to kill the orc.
can only carry three fireball spells, these orcs are really useless......
Looking at the three half-orcs who were only a dozen meters away, Nanshan shook his head, without any idea of flying a kite, but chose to stand in place, releasing the fireball in a leisurely attitude.
However, at a distance of 20 meters, with the speed of most people's movements, it only takes less than three seconds to cross it with all their might, and even if there are trees in the middle, it will not take more than four seconds. Even if the orcs were a little slower than most humans, they would only be enough to unleash two rounds of fireball at most.
It's almost the difference between life and death.
Seeing the human being close at hand, the half-orc who desperately rushed to Nanshan's body, couldn't help but show a hideous smile, it believed that as long as this stick went down, it could get rid of this thin and short guy.
Because the companions behind will soon be able to catch up.
No matter how powerful the opponent's spells are, they can't resist their siege.
But at the moment when the bone stick in his hand was about to fall, the half-orc suddenly saw the calm smile on Nanshan's face that had not disappeared.
"Goodbye!"
With the sound of words.
I saw that in front of the palm of his left hand, which had reached the height of the half-orc's chest, Nanshan suddenly burst into a dazzling red light, and the next moment, endless flames poured out from it, with an irresistible terrifying force, pushing the half-orc who was nearly two meters tall and weighed four hundred pounds out entirely.
Not only did the momentum stop abruptly, but it could be seen that while it was still in mid-air, the unfortunate orc had already turned into a flaming torch.
As the center of all the high-temperature deflagration damage, the half-clothed beast skin chest was directly sunken into a large black hole, even if it could still be alive after landing, it was impossible to stand up again.
