Chapter 174: Search and Extinction (Finale)
After a fight, everyone really needs to take a break.
On the one hand, it is to restore physical strength and treat injuries.
This time, due to the careful care of the two sword masters, there were no deaths, but there was still one family member who was seriously injured, and three others were slightly injured, and they all needed emergency treatment.
Luo Ming will not casually expose his Cangyan and healing ability, but Granty's glorious fighting spirit itself also has a little healing function, and it is not a big problem to deal with these wounded.
On the other hand, these people are also under a lot of psychological pressure and are about to reach their limits.
Of course, there are guys in this world who can be calm and abnormal for the first time, and even have a blushing face and a heartbeat. But there are also many people who find it difficult to get used to killing, no matter how many times.
Although most of these people have seen blood, they use prisoners to train their hands, or beat thieves half to death...... It's completely different from stabbing the enemy in actual combat.
Not to mention a few of Luo Ming's disciples, even those private soldiers are the same, at best, they have dealt with a few bandits and thieves, and it is the first time that nearly a hundred enemies have been killed like today.
Thanks to the fact that this time the enemy is a gnoll, although he also has some intelligence, but looks like a beast on the outside.
Otherwise, some people may already be mentally exhausted and have a psychological breakdown.
Fortunately, Luo Ming had already burned the corpse of the jackal, and there was no body to be seen, and after resting for a while, they finally calmed down.
Luo Ming secretly thought to himself, it seems that when he trains his private soldiers, he must also find such an opportunity, let them kill the beast first, and then kill this half-human and half-beast alien race, a little bit to adapt to the past, and finally face the enemy who is also a human on the battlefield, and kill mercilessly, and he will not waver afterwards.
When everyone had recovered somewhat, Luo Ming asked them to rearrange and line up neatly, and then, he swung several swords at the earth and stone that sealed the door, and then, with a palm!
"Broken!"
The previous swords had created a crack in the earth and stone, and it completely cracked under this palm, revealing the exit again.
A sultry smoke rolled out of it, and Luo Ming waited for a long time until the smoke cleared, and then cautiously walked into the cave, and everyone followed him.
At the entrance of the cave, there were more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, some of them had traces of being burned by the cangyan, and some of them stuck out their tongues and their eyes were round, obviously suffocating to death.
At the end of their lives, some of them tried their best to dig up earth and rocks in the hope of escaping, their nails were broken, their fingers were full of blood, some were pinching their necks in pain, and there was even a gnoll whose brain burst out, probably unable to bear the pain and slowly dying, so they committed suicide by hitting the wall.
In addition to the smell of toast, there are also some very embarrassing smells - most animals, including humans, are bound to become incontinent after death.
The crowd only pinched their noses, opened their mouths to breathe, and then slowly moved forward.
The firewood thrown in was not enough to completely deplete the oxygen in the cave, and maybe there were some gnolls in the depths of the cave.
However, even if they were still alive, most of these gnolls would not have much strength to fight against them.
After all, in a state of hypoxia, physical strength will naturally weaken a lot.
Then comes the tedious search.
Search and exterminate, it's that simple.
One by one, the gnolls, whether they were dead or half-dead, whether they were wounded or old and young, women and children, were all mended, their heads cut off, and then dragged out of the cave and piled aside, and later Luo Ming would clean up with Cangyan again.
And the food and belongings they hoarded were moved out of the cave little by little, these were Luo Ming's trophies, at most symbolically some of the goods that could not be taken away were returned to their owners, but most of them would be sold for money and then fall into Luo Ming's pocket.
He also has no sense of guilt about this, in this era, even if the bandits are suppressed, the goods and belongings stolen will rarely be returned to their owners, and those who are unfortunate enough to be robbed can only gain a bad breath.
What's more, these robbed people are not Luo Ming's own people, no matter how kind he is, he is a parent official in his own territory, and he will never give excess love to outsiders.
The gnoll group here can be said to have been basically wiped out by Luo Ming, even if there are a few fish that have slipped through the net and have not returned, they will definitely not develop in many years, and they will not become a disaster.
Next, if you want to destroy this nest, it is not difficult, it is nothing more than to fill in some earth and rock and bury it to death.
Or simply be vicious and put another fire in the deepest part of the cave to completely deplete the oxygen in the cave - because the hole is dug downward, it is difficult for fresh air to penetrate too deeply, and maybe ten years later, anyone who dares to go deep into the cave will suffocate to death.
In this way, there is only a little left of the task that is not yet complete.
Fragment of the Eye of the Arcane...... It's hidden near this cave. And in the fragments of this treasure resides an evil spirit, the one who has plunged himself into a strange dream, clearly powerful and ill-intentioned.
However, after Luo Ming broke free from that dream, he also taught the guy a lesson.
Most likely, because of this, the guy didn't try to attack himself with the power of dreams again...... It has no room to do so.
The Sword of Interception, that is one of the three major sword paths summed up by the second master who is a sword master.
Although it looks like a sword, it condenses the essence of the law of thousands of swords in that sword, and it is even more powerful when used in this world with supernatural powers.
That strange dream was taught a hard lesson by such a sword before it retreated.
That sword was not the level of Luo Ming's own beginner path, but a sword that was almost at the peak of his imagination based on his memory of the second master.
Because it was a sword that he had personally experienced, his imagination was very vivid, almost indistinguishable from reality.
Pure imagination is not helpful at all in reality, but who told that guy to rely on dream means to deal with Luo Ming? Then, it is natural to suffer because of dreams.
This kind of sword of interception is not used by anyone other than Luo Ming in this world, so he is also very sensitive to the aura of this sword.
The injury of this sword is definitely not so easy to dispel, Luo Ming just watched that sword, and he had nightmares for three days, and this guy will not be an exception.
There was just a breath of air, less than a hundred meters away from him.
"Come on, let me see what kind of character you are!"
No matter what kind of strong enemy he is, even if it is a legendary powerhouse, Luo Ming can at least fight back, at most, his strength is not good, and he is defeated by one move.
But using the power of dreams, Runwu silently attacks from places he doesn't expect, and once he doesn't realize it, he can't break free at all, and this is the enemy he hates the most.
Before you kill them all, why don't you torture them...... Cang Yan can burn the soul!
