Chapter 246: Return: Unexpected
"Richard, you are a senior adventurer, can you give me a detailed introduction to the monsters in this world, the kind that are more harmful to human society. ()”
While drawing rune traps, the white wolf asked the adventurer behind him if he wanted to know more about this world.
"Seniors can't be talked about, if you want to talk about monsters that are more harmful, the first one is still human beings themselves, for example, this destruction sect, the harm of these guys to human society is obvious to everyone. ”
"What about the others?"
"The others, the second in line is probably the rat people, these guys live in the underground world, but they covet the resources on the surface all the time, they like to burrow out of the surface in the fall, looting everything they can see, farmland, warehouses, residential areas, these three places are their favorites, plus these creatures are murderous, the area they have breached, basically turned into ruins, and there is not a single living person left. ”
"Well, anything else?"
White Wolf knew about nezumi creatures, and the first goblin king he saw underground was a nezumi slave, but so far, he hadn't come into contact with any other nezumi.
"The less harmful than the rat man should be the vampire, you are not a human, you may not know much about it, vampires are a creature that feeds on human blood, they are day and night, they can freely switch between bats and humans, the people who are sucked by these guys basically do not live to the next day, in addition, they can also through some rituals, the transformation of ordinary humans into their own kindred, or blood servants, as long as there is a vampire in a small town, this place will often have homicides, become panicked, not peaceful。
"Oh, blood-feeding creatures, interesting. ”
Hearing the name of the vampire, the white wolf couldn't help but laugh, this creature is also famous in his own world, this creature often appears in various ways, as well as in film and television works.
Among them, the most frequent appearance is the vampire girl, in Japanese-style fantasy works, such as anime and games, this creature often appears, their appearance is as perfect as the elf, but because of its special way of eating, to some extent to meet people's curiosity**, its popularity is even higher than that of elves.
"After the vampires, there are those greenskins in the north, commonly known as orcs, more formally, they can be called desolate invaders, these guys live in the harsh environment of the north, which is called the northern hell, where the terrain is very dangerous, volcanoes, deserts and ice fields may appear in the same area at the same time, and it is not suitable for human survival, but orcs can survive. ”
"These green skins, I don't know when they suddenly united, and without any warning, directly declared war on the northern kingdoms, this war has been fought intermittently for more than a hundred years, and it has not ended to this day, you can imagine how miserable the life of the people in the north is. ”
"After more than 100 years of fighting, it was quite miserable. The white wolf replied.
"The disasters in the north are not only these, the northeast direction there is the Chaos Sea, this sea is very weird, usually the storm does not stop, it can roll up five or six meters high waves casually, no ship can sail on it, but there is a half-human and half-fish creature living in the Chaos Sea, called the Kraken, whenever there is a giant tsunami in the Chaos Sea, they will come ashore to loot. ”
"Kraken plus orcs, the humans of the north are indeed quite pitiful. ”
"The north is the worst, and in addition, there are the eastern countries, and further east on their side is the realm of chaos, where some ancient creatures live, you can't imagine how desperate it must be when an army has to face a coalition of giants tens of meters high, irrational crazy savages, and harpys. ”
At this point, Richard paused, then continued.
"From ancient times to the present, there have been many people in the East who have tried to conquer Chaos, but only one person has succeeded in the end, he has become a saint of the Church, in fact, most of the time, humanity is on the defensive, and can only rely on heavy walls and giant crossbows to defend the eastern border. ”
"These are all forces that pose a greater threat to humanity, and some of them have been out of the category of beasts, so, you think, it is not easy for us humans to survive until now. Richard said with a smile.
"I can understand that. The white wolf replied.
If what Richard said is true, then it is not easy for human beings, and they have to face many enemies at the same time.
For the Goblin Kingdom, just a devil fog made the white wolf put a lot of effort into using a variety of tactics, which barely managed to occupy an advantage in the war, and it can be imagined how much pressure the human country is facing.
"In addition to these, there are also some real beasts, such as ghouls, griffins, and thunder lizards, these creatures are scattered in our territory, very fierce, and it is often very costly to exterminate them. ”
"There have been many plans for the de facto genocide of these creatures, or their domestication for use in wars against other races, and it is not without them that these plans have been carried out, and some results have been achieved, as evidenced by the griffin knights of the Empire. ”
"However, no one has ever succeeded completely, and the most disgusting of them are the ghouls, who are like maggots on tarsal bones, as long as there are corpses, they will definitely appear, and no matter how much they are encircled, they cannot be completely destroyed. ”
"We're dealing with ghouls now. The white wolf sighed.
"Didn't you already dispose of their bodies?" Richard didn't react
"I did dispose of the bodies of those people, but the bodies of the villagers were nowhere to be found. The white wolf continued to carve the trap.
"Can't track the taste?"
"This rain, all the smell has been washed away. The white wolf shook his head helplessly.
"Then we have to be careful, there must be at least forty or fifty people in this village, and if their bodies are not properly disposed of, there may be a dozen ghouls, who will attack the living creatures at all costs in order to survive. Richard said.
"That's why I draw so many rune traps. The white wolf raised his paws, his blood had dried up, and every wall of the house, and the land in front of it, had been painted with secret rune traps.
"You don't have to worry too much, with your strength, it's more than enough to deal with a dozen ghouls. Richard sensed the white wolf's anxiety and spoke out to reassure him.
"Yes, but I always have a sense of foreboding"
"Maybe you're overthinking. ”
"I hope so. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden "snort" sound outside the door, which was the sound of the trap being touched, and although the rain was loud, it could still be heard very clearly.
"Prepare to fight!" the white wolf let out a long howl and ran out of the house, as Richard and Dory drew their steel swords from their waists.
As soon as he opened the door, the white wolf smelled a fierce fishy stench, which came from all directions, filling his nostrils and making him sick to his stomach.
Biting his tongue, he finally restrained the vomiting **, the white wolf walked out of the house, looked around, and now he finally figured out where the fishy smell came from.
On all sides, on the roofs of the eaves and on the ground next to the walls, there were slimy ghouls everywhere, they had completely surrounded the place, and all eyes were focused on the white wolf who had just escaped.
There were a bunch of ghouls in the back, probably hundreds, and the white wolf didn't know where such a terrifying number came from, only that he had to leave the place with a few people quickly.
There are too many ghouls, and the previous plan to guard the house no longer works, but fortunately, there is a backup plan, which the white wolf decided from the beginning, if the number of enemies is too large to resist, and he can't guarantee the safety of the three humans, then he has to quickly escape with them, this is the last resort.
"Don't stay in the house any longer! Bring your things! We need to get out of here!" the white wolf turned and shouted to the two men in the room.
As soon as the white wolf finished shouting, the ghouls gathered around him, crawling on all fours, crawling in strange positions, making "whirring" sounds from their mouths, and with each breath, they would spit out the stench of rotting corpses.
Hearing the white wolf's shout, Richard was stunned for a moment, and then decisively picked up the package, and dragged the Holy Light Priest who had fallen to the ground by the way.
"Aren't we here anymore? are all these traps laid out in vain?" asked Dory, surprised.
"The plan can't keep up with the change, hurry up!" Richard gave Dori a hand, and Dori finally reacted, picked up the Holy Light Priest, and ran out of the house.
The white wolf has been on fire with the ghouls**, and now it is raining heavily, and the white wolf makes good use of these raindrops, and in the blink of an eye, the raindrops condense into ice picks, and under the impetus of the wind element, the ghouls rush to the ground at a very high speed.
Ghouls' defense is very poor, their muscles are like soft mud, and the ice spikes that fall from the sky easily penetrate their bodies, and in an instant, the white wolf's small-scale water elemental magic killed more than a dozen ghouls, temporarily solving the immediate crisis.
"It hurts!" Dori had just carried the priest's body out of the room when an ice pick hit her head, but her skull was hard enough to break through the skin.
Dolly and Richard lifted the priest of light onto the white wolf's back, and the two of them sat down with ease.
"Hold on!" the white wolf reminded the two of them loudly, and then jumped to his feet and jumped onto the roof, where the surrounding scene could be seen more clearly, but everything that caught his eye made the white wolf frown.
The number of ghouls was clearly much higher than his initial estimate, and there was still a large area of black pressure on the outskirts of the village, and the most conservative estimate would be in the thousands, and if the estimate was exaggerated, the number could be in the tens of thousands.
