Chapter 462: Catastrophe on the Prairie

"Ivita, watch your back!" shouted Cejon.

After being alerted, the companion turned around and tried to resist, but the action of "turning" was not an easy thing for the Centaurs to do, and they could not be as fast as other humanoids.

Seeing that the monster was about to pounce on his companion's back, Saijon, as the leader of the scout, could only throw the spear in his hand forward with great force, accurately piercing the monster that was sneaking up behind his companion, but also put himself in a state where he had no weapons to use.

However, empty-handed centaurs can still exert great lethality, as they still have strong hooves to work with. Sejon's front hooves were raised high, kicking a monster in front of him to the ground, and then running again, successfully breaking away before the monster's encirclement could be formed.

Another fellow centaur who had run to help Evita pulled Sejon's spear from the monster's corpse, "Leader Cyron, continue!" and his companion threw the spear at him.

"Move closer to me!" the leader of the scouts, who took the spear, flew a monster in front of him into the air, and began to rescue the centaur scouts who were fighting on the battlefield.

First 'Mza', then 'Taika', then 'Ivita' and 'Hadan' beside her, and more and more people gathered around Sejon. But 'Bora' and 'Mohr' were gone, and another of Sejon's people whose faces were unclear also fell.

The abominable monsters swirled around the corpses of their clansmen like vultures, stabbing their branch-like arms into their bodies, frantically sucking their blood.

"Die, you twisted evil creatures!" Sejon led his companions into a furious charge at the enemy, one monster after another torn apart by spears and iron hooves, and after two charges, the entire battlefield gradually subsided.

When the battle was over, Sejon and his companions gathered around the dead, "O free spirit of the wilderness, three great warriors have fallen into your arms today. Their deaths are full of glory because they have resisted the spread of evil with their lives. "We pray to you, noble spirits of the wilderness, that their bodies may rest in the earth, and that their souls will find their way home under the guidance of the wind......"

While his companions were cleaning the battlefield and burying the dead, Sejon picked up a monster with his gun and put it in front of his eyes to observe it closely.

It is a plant that resembles a dryad, but is infinitely more evil than the dryads in nature. When stationary, these monsters look like some withered normal bushes, but as soon as a living creature passes near them, they gather their branches together to form humanoid monsters with only heads and limbs.

This is also the reason why Saijon and his party were separated by monsters when the battle broke out.

The priests of the clan call this monster the 'Blight', an evil creature created through magic. All blight monsters are inevitably conceived by a 'Mother Tree of Gantias', which not only bears seeds that can give birth to blighters, but also transforms the surrounding healthy vegetation into new 'blighters' through its evil powers, and transforms the entire area into a dark and corrupted land full of thorns and poisonous weeds.

When the first blight monster was discovered, the 'Whitemane Clan' of Saijon began to search for the location of the 'Mother Tree of Gantias', and they also informed the many races living in the Hanhai Grasslands, as well as the elves of the 'Lothlin 'Lotsilin', hoping that everyone could work together to destroy those evil monsters at the root.

However, the entire Hanhai Grassland was too large to make the search quite difficult, and the locations where the various races lived were scattered, and it was difficult to communicate with each other.

In the case of the Whitemane Clan itself, the centaurs have a natural advantage in speed, but it will take two or three days to reach the nearest human settlement to the clan, let alone other races.

At this time, more than two months have passed since the discovery of the first blighted monster, and there are more and more traces of the blighted monster on the Hanhai grassland, but the location of the 'Gantias Mother Tree' has still not been found. Moreover, the mother tree may be hidden in a cave leading to the ground somewhere in the grassland, if that were the case, it would undoubtedly make the search several times more difficult, and it would require other races to explore. Centaurs are physically limited and have difficulty moving in underground caverns.

This is not the most worrying thing for Saijon, the priest of the clan once said that the birth of the 'Mother Tree of Gantias' must require a great druid who is proficient in natural magic to take care of the tree throughout the whole process.

There are many settlements in the Hanhai grassland that advocate nature, but there are extremely few that really have a great druid, and the settlements that Saijon knows are not even ordinary druids. The halfling village called Sweet Sugar Cane, with a halfling druid who turns into a raccoon, is already a source of pride for the little men.

In the entire Hanhai Grassland, only those elves who have a long lifespan have many great druids. In this way, the whole thing becomes even more confusing.

The leader of the scouts, Saijon, threw the monster on the spear to the ground, and looked in the direction of 'Lotsilin' with a sad face, "If there is more than one 'Mother Tree of Gantias', then the entire Hanhai Grassland will usher in a monstrous catastrophe. He muttered.

"What's the matter, Chief Saijon?" asked Mza, as he walked over.

"Nothing. Saijon didn't want to share his worries with his companions, "Help me get Ivita over"

Ivita was the daughter of the patriarch and was very skilled with a bow and arrow. She wasn't originally a member of the Scout Guard, but she volunteered to join the search team because the Blight Monster incident had left the search for someone understaffed.

She had played quite well in the previous battles with the blighters, but she did not perform well in this close-range encounter, and the death of the clansman Bora was also inseparable from her helplessness at the time.

The young centaur was tormenting a cluster of alfalfa with a sad face, and the blooming purple flowers were crushed by her hooves, sinking into the fertile earth.

"Leader Cyron......" Ivita walked over with her head bowed.

What do you say? Our scout leader is suddenly in trouble. He really didn't know how to comfort people, but he didn't want the young man in front of him to fall into too much self-blame.

"In addition to bows and arrows, you should also practice the use of other weapons so that you can cope with more combat scenes. "Spears and scimitars are fine, both of which are suitable for our men." ”

"Got it, Chief Saijon. Ivita replied softly.

Alas, it seems like I'm criticizing this, but that's not what I meant to be, "Take a good rest and don't think too much." You don't know when this disaster will end, and you can only save more people if you hone your martial arts skills. He tried to soften his stiff tone.

"Well, I will!" the young female centaur seemed to regain a little of her state.

After Ivita left, Mza, as his deputy, walked up to Saijon again, "Fortunately, only the most common monsters exist among these monsters, if there are any more ones that can shoot needles and attack with vines, we are likely to lose more clansmen like last time." ”

"No matter what kind of evil monster it dares to desecrate the Hanhai Grassland, it will eventually be wiped out by the creatures that live in it. Saijon said firmly, "Let the people bandage their wounds, and we will rest and continue our departure." ”

At present, there is more than one kind of 'Blighted Monster', and the one that attacked them at this moment is called 'Withered Monster', which has the largest number and a relatively single attack method, so it is relatively easy to deal with. In addition to this, there are two other evil creatures known as the 'Withered Needle' and the 'Withered Vine'.

Both of these monsters are much larger than normal 'Wilted Monsters'. The Withered Needle Monster resembles a hunchbacked humanoid covered in clumps of pine needle-like spikes, and the fierce pine needles that shoot are so threatening that they can easily pierce the leather armor of their people, causing a lot of damage.

Although this monster also appears to be made of plants, it cannot be mimicked like other types of 'blighters', so it can be identified from a distance.

As for the 'Withered Vine', as the name suggests, it is no different from a normal vine when it is stationary. It can cover an area with a radius of about 6 or 7 meters with its body and entangle every creature that enters it, and it can also transform into a human form made of vines and pounce on it like a python to hang its prey.

Even with the strength of Saijon, it would be difficult for him to break free if he was completely entangled by the withered vine monster.

I just hope that more races and individuals can join the battle to destroy the evil monsters, the scout leader thought to himself.
