Chapter Twenty-Four: Skinning Dwarves
It was already dark, the cold moonlight was quietly caressing the earth, and the terrifying screams lingered in the dense forest, making people can't help but feel creepy.
Jiang Ming walked in the forest for about two hours, and saw no living creatures except for trees. There was an eerie howl around him, and occasionally the leaves rustled and fell, as if to portend something.
"This forest looks like a rainforest terrain, why aren't there any other creatures?"
He kept a high degree of vigilance and walked slowly, thinking in his heart: the sound coming from the forest should be made by some kind of mutated creature, and there are no creatures in the forest, perhaps it has been preyed upon and wiped out by such mutated creatures.
Rumble!
There was a sudden loud bang in the sky, and a bowl of lightning swept through the night, disappearing in the northeast center of the forest, followed by the silent forest, and a strange wail.
"No, this lightning is not formed by natural weather, and the energy value contained in it is not weak, is it who is using the natural card to summon lightning?"
Jiang Ming shook his head, his eyes looked at the direction where the lightning fell, and the pace under his feet quickened. He had been walking through the forest for so long and had not found an exit. Lost, to be precise. Perhaps it is the star who summons lightning and can bring him good luck.
Skirting some large trees, he crept to the northeast, but was startled by what he saw.
Dozens of dwarves the size of five-year-olds lit a fire around a pot with soup attached to the skull and two palms. The dwarves were dark-skinned, with a crotch tied around their waists, shirtless, and howling and wailing from their mouths. One of the dwarves was taller than the rest of his companions, with a ghostly mask on his face, and seemed to be their leader.
This is......?
Jiang Ming didn't think that these dwarves were kind. In his previous life, he had never seen such dwarves, but he had seen them in the Star Warrior Records. Small in stature, he is considered an indigenous inhabitant, but he has been mutated by the influence of the arrival of the tree realm, and has incredible strength.
They're skinning dwarves!
Skinned dwarves, ready to say, are no longer of a human species. They have a lot of intelligence, live on the flesh and blood of animals, and even eat people. They believe in the demons of hell and believe that if they sacrifice enough tribute, they can obtain the power of the dark gods.
Is this a debarking forest? No wonder I can't find the exit.
Jiang Ming remembered that the Peeling Forest did not belong to any continent on the earth, and it was a special space that could only be reached through the teleportation of the Tree Palace. This time, he first unintentionally entered the breeding pasture of the Lada mother tree, and then entered the peeling forest, which can be described as a crisis.
However, he knew very well that the only way to leave this ghost place was to return to the Tree Palace through the teleportation point. The exact location of the waypoint may only be a matter of asking the skinned dwarves.
As soon as he touched the ancient book, Jiang Ming had an idea, holding five cards in his palm, and his eyes were fixed on the front.
"Whoosh!" Five cards fly!
The cards transformed into dozens of giant red nets, flying towards the skinned dwarves. The skinned dwarf in excitement naturally didn't have time to react, and with a howl, he was firmly trapped by the giant net.
"Can you understand me? I just need to know where the waypoint is. ”
Jiang Ming sprang out of the grass like a cat and shouted loudly. All that could be heard was the chirping of the skinned dwarves, and they had no idea what they were talking about. And, from the look in their eyes, you can see the beast-like hideousness. Obviously, they didn't understand Jiang Ming's language, and they didn't plan to negotiate with him.
Sure enough, the masked leader let out a high-pitched howl, and suddenly a red firework erupted from his mouth as if acrobatic. The giant net could not withstand the heat of the flames, and the wounds were red, and the thunderbolt burned off.
Seeing the abnormality, Jiang Ming's face turned pale, and he suddenly took out the sword of Hit, moved his steps, and flew like a series of actions such as stabbing and slashing.
But what shocked him was that the leader's agility was quite high, no matter how tricky Jiang Ming's movements were, he couldn't hurt him for half a point. On the contrary, the leader was clever, from Jiang Ming's crotch to his back, took out a detonator with his small hand, and blew it hard. With a muffled pop, a finger-sized steel nail whistled out.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Ahri "squeaked" and pounced forward. The red light and cold light flashed, and the steel nail was slapped to the other side by the claw.
Only this time, Jiang Ming's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his face turned pale with shock. Don't look at the small size of this skinned dwarf leader, but this action is no different from that of a special forces soldier, and even the speed of his low-level star warrior fifth layer is completely incomparable.
And the leader seemed to be extremely angry at Ahri's intervention, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and the movements under his feet became faster and faster, and from a distance, it seemed that countless short shadows swirled around Ahri, and from time to time a raging flame erupted from his mouth.
Ahri moved quickly, but he couldn't completely avoid the flames, and his fur was more or less stained with sparks, and a faint smell of burnt paste faintly emanated. It's just that Ahri was angry because of this, his body swelled to the size of a normal fox, his fur turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth squeaked.
Click!
Jiang Ming only felt the red shadow flash in front of him, and he didn't know how Ahri could see through the leader's true body, his claws tore the leader's throat, and the red blood stained the ground. Ahri kills the leader of the skinned dwarves, an act that greatly angers his companions trapped in the net. Their gaze was like that of a demon, and their howls grew sharper and sharper, as if cursing the vile intruder.
"That's right, ten runes burst out!"
As if he hadn't seen it, Jiang Ming turned out ten runes from the leader's corpse, all of them were in his pocket, and then waved Hit's sword mercilessly. In an instant, dozens of skinned dwarves were slaughtered, dropping a lot of runes.
He didn't feel the slightest guilt about it. Since the skinned dwarf has a grudge against him, Jiang Ming will not leave this hidden danger.
While cleaning up the corpse runes, Jiang Ming inadvertently obtained a crumpled map from a corpse, which was not very detailed, except for the mountains, it was a mess of trees, but for a few places were circled, it might be the location of the teleportation point.
Jiang Ming estimated his location, followed the markings on the map, and carefully walked through the grass, always in a state of readiness.
Along the way, apart from encountering two groups of skinned dwarves, there was no leader-level danger. Ordinary skinned dwarves only have simple melee attacks, and their speed is much slower than that of the boss, which naturally poses no threat to Jiang Ming. After a fierce battle between Jiang Ming and Ahri, they killed all the skinned dwarves and obtained a lot of runes.
Bypass a rugged trail and come to the first specially marked place on the map. It was a large black lake, and there was no life on the surface of the stagnant lake. The trees within a few meters of the lake are also withered, and only bare trunks remain.
This is not a waypoint?
Jiang Ming held his chin and looked left and right for a moment, but he didn't find anything similar to a teleportation point around, and he sighed in disappointment, preparing to go to another location.
However, as soon as he turned around, a strange scene appeared.
The lake behind it suddenly exploded like a pot.
Boom!
A huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the lake, and it became more and more cold under the moonlight. The black shadow resembles an earthworm more than ten meters long, with only a thin head and a pointed tail exposed on the surface of the lake. The earthworm monster's dark eyes revealed excitement, and its mouth suddenly opened, and a cloud of green liquid suddenly spurted out.
Bang!
All of this was between lightning and flint, Jiang Ming couldn't react at all, and his whole body was instantly covered with green liquid, becoming a green man.
Not good!
The green liquid did not corrode the surname, but it gave off a fishy smell. After Jiang Ming smelled this, his head was dizzy, and there was a feeling in his chest that he couldn't breathe.
There is no doubt that the smell of green liquid is poisonous!
Jiang Ming was a little flustered, and hurriedly drew out the ancient book, but as soon as his fingers touched the ancient book, his head was empty and he fell into a coma. In the same way, Ahri didn't seem to be able to resist the smell of fish, and his head tilted and fell on his shoulder.
"Who dares to come to the Great Lake of Slaughtering Monsters!"
At the moment of crisis, a figure appeared in the forest, shouting non-stop.
