Chapter 305: Ambush

Seeing Uncle Hobbit Pete running down the mountain with two little short legs, everyone was speechless for a while, saying that the righteousness is thin and cloudy, bastard!

"Whew, everyone wait a minute, I'll go ahead and explore the way."

Scouts are a very important role, but unfortunately the team members have not been able to gather at present, and Qin Fen can only go into battle in person. He walked through the trees, and after ten minutes he found the cave halfway up the mountain. However, Qin Fen did not choose to attack recklessly, but sent two bat-like vampire guards to fly inside to explore the reality.

After a while, the exact news came:

"There are indeed scaly horses inhabiting that cave, large and small, almost thirty of them."

After ascertaining the situation, Qin Fen retreated quietly. The difficulty of B-level missions is not high, but it is not low, and carelessness can really lead to injury or even death. After all, adventurers are not born supreme, and they can only be said to live in a dream if they push all the way or something......

"That's the basics." Qin Fen nodded and said, "Before that, let's eat something first to improve our state." There's going to be a tough battle to fight later. ”

Jack scratched his head, dandruff fluttering: "Boss Qin, you don't really plan to push sideways, do you?" Wouldn't it be too impulsive? ”

The word 'impulsive' is actually very euphemistic, and Jack's eyes are clear: If you don't die, you won't die, and if you die, don't pull me!

Even if the individual strength of the scaly horse is not very strong, once the number of some creatures increases, after a qualitative change, the threat level will soar exponentially!

"You're thinking too much." Qin Fen's eyes were empty, "I asked you to eat more, because I was afraid that something would happen, and you had the strength to run away." ”

“……”

Lunch was settled in two minutes. A bottle of salted boiled water, two compressed biscuits, that's all there is to it. Approaching the big war, it can be simple. In addition, for the sake of insurance, Qin Fen also dug a pit nearly one meter deep in situ and buried debris and other garbage deep into the ground.

Then he spoke again, his gaze sharpened suddenly, and his tone became quite serious:

"It's okay to follow me, but everything has to be done as I say!"

Everyone is naturally meaningless, at least so far, Qin Fen's 'performance' as the captain is still remarkable.

"Okay, I'll assign the task next......"

As the saying goes, "sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter", and the necessary preparations are still needed before hunting and driving the scaly horses. As Qin Fen gave orders one by one, everyone acted quickly. For example, barricades, tripping horses, such as laying mines, etc.

Then, Qin Fen found what he was looking for on a collapsed dead wood:

Several white, tender, chubby ivory insects.

This is the larva of the large beetle, which at first glance looks like maggots that have been enlarged and give off a very strange smell. Of course, more importantly, according to the information provided by the hobbit who asked, insects are included in the recipe of omnivorous scaly horses, and they occupy a very important place, which is a very rare 'delicacy'.

Since he had shown such a huge amount of "sincerity", Qin Fen had reason to believe that the scaly horses would be very interested in the gift he had prepared. The saying that people die for money, birds die for food, and that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there must be a truth in it.

After Qin Fen stirred all kinds of food into a fragrant food, he helped the others quickly deal with the matter at hand, and then the group waited silently. Because the creatures in the Misty Mountains are very strange, except for the half-orcs, who are cold and cold, and the other creatures are almost reluctant to act in the daytime. So much so that the misty mountains at night are noisier than the hundred days.

…… It is a very clear river, with a steep cliff on the left and a wide grassland on the right, just below the cave where the scaly horses are. It's a river, but it's actually a slightly more spacious stream. The width is about 13 meters, but the river is quite shallow, at most it can only reach the waist of a person, and the river beach is full of rocks, and you can see some gray waterfowl staying on the rocks in the water, staring at the water surface slowly. After a long mouth, he quickly pecked down and pecked small fish, shrimp and crabs from the water.

But all this happened in silence, with almost no birds chirping, only the occasional rattling of water.

"It's a waste of life." Jack, who was hiding in the jungle not far away, looked at the time and said very decadently: "We have been waiting for four hours, and we see that the sun is about to set, why haven't those scaly horses come yet?" ”

"They're coming." Qin Fen said in a deep voice, "If you look closely at the stones next to the river beach, you can see that the surface of many stones has been rubbed very smooth, it should be because some large creatures often scratch itches there, I found a few scales just now, it should have fallen when the scale horse rubbed itchy." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Fen paused for a moment, and then said:

"In addition, although the scaly horse is an omnivorous creature, there is no doubt that it is still very difficult to eat meat, and it must only feed on grass roots and leaves. To secrete and digest these fibers, you need a strong gastrointestinal secretion system and water ...... And this is the closest stream to the Scaly Horse Cave. ”

"In nature, while rabbits don't eat the grass around their nests, most other creatures don't. There's no reason why the scaly horses shouldn't come here. ”

Sure enough, not long after Qin Fen's words were finished, there was a "rumbling" hoof sound in the distance.

Burning clouds had already appeared in the sky, and under the faint golden light, there were about thirty scaly horses in front of everyone, which were not much different from ordinary Mongolian horses at first glance, but they were one size larger. He has a pair of fleshy wings on his back, and there are scales like green fish scales under his ribs, but he has no ability to fly. Legend has it that these scaly horses have unicorn blood, but no one can say what they really want.

Hidden in the woods, Qin Fen aimed at a scaly horse and quietly launched the Insight Technique.

Name: Scaly Horse (Elite Unit), this is a social creature that inhabits the outskirts of the Misty Mountains, omnivorous, usually mild-mannered, and angry when attacked.

Weight: 410kg

Attributes: Strength 35, Speed 55, Health 1500

Passive Skill: Iron Hoof Trample (Active). Charge at the target and stomp on the enemy with front hooves, dealing 100 base damage + damage equal to the difference between the strength of both sides. This damage cannot be critical.

This scaly horse, if tamed, would make an excellent mount, with considerable speed and health, but it is clear that the cute hobbits are not capable of taming it.

That's where traps come in. The trap is laid out on the very basis of the need for these scaly horses to come here.

Don't forget, werewolf scientists are scientific research talents, and they rarely participate in training except for basic attribute enhancements, but dedicate all their time to scientific research. In "Tales of the Night", he is a forbidden scientist who has studied the black magic of resurrecting the dead and enslaving corpses, and has developed a terrifying "blood poison" that makes the entire blood clan tremble.

In a sense, he was a genius. And when a genius is guided by rigorous logical thinking ability, stepping on the shoulders of the giant who dominates the eons and moving firmly towards a certain goal, the achievements are often enormous. If it weren't for the rules of the Domination, he would have been able to create horrific viruses that were no less than plague, cholera, and the Black Death!

Let's get back to business...... At this moment, this guy has a special potion in his hand, the medicine bag is stuffed in the rock crevice, and when the scaly horse arrives, it will start to attack.

It is a powerful emetic agent, not a poison, and has an effect on most mammals. Given that the biosphere environment of Middle-earth is not much different from that of Earth, and that scaly horses are extremely similar to horses on Earth except for their size and some physiological structures, werewolf scientists are 80% sure that the drugs they have configured will be effective.

Once the effect of the drug is onset, it is even worse than the pregnancy reaction of lactation, enough to make the limbs of these scaly horses weak and their eyes black.

What, you say these scaly horses will find the water poisonous?
