Chapter 470: Survivor (I)
The Raven 'Corn', who had been on guard at high altitude, led Barrett and the others to this closed battlefield. The corpses scattered around made everyone vigilant, and judging from the traces that remained, this battle should not have been born for too long, and if Barrett was right, it should have been born within the last day. &1t;/p>
"I'll go up there and see if there's anything else suspicious. The little mage raised his altitude and flew high into the air. Others drew their weapons and cautiously walked through the corpses. &1t;/p>
"It's a shame, but I'm actually quite fond of the centaur race. The merchant walked behind the red crab and said with regret, "I used to go to a Centaur tribe called 'Bloodspear' and stayed there for most of the month. The inhabitants of that tribe are relatively easy to get along with, but only if you can understand the nature of creatures like centaurs. ”&1t;/p>
Ariel looked at one of the corpses of the centaurs, who were in a very miserable state, "I don't know if these fallen warriors are from the Bloodspear Tribe." Red crab, you look? You were with me at the time. ”&1t;/p>
"It's been so long, I can't remember anything. The bodyguard shrugged his shoulders casually, "But the plump breasts of those centaur girls are really impressive." He chuckled, then looked at the disgruntled Bear Grove, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this right now. ”&1t;/p>
It was a rather tragic battle, with about eight or nine centaur corpses and more of the monster known as the Blighted Monster. &1t;/p>
Because it is very likely that the future journey will encounter these monsters that are wreaking havoc in the Hanhai Grassland, Barrett carefully observes their characteristics. &1t;/p>
The most numerous monsters on the ground are small humanoids not much taller than halflings, their bodies appear to be patchwork of dry bushes, their heads have no obvious facial features, and only two eye-like tree stripes grow. Some of the smaller monsters have four pointed claws on their arms, while others seem to have their claws folded together to form a sharp tip like a spear head. &1t;/p>
On the bank of the nearby river lay two other monsters covered in pine needles. This kind of monster can't help but remind Barrett of the Needle Demons of the Nine Hells, but they are much taller than the Needle Demons, similar to the size of the barbarian himself. The monster is a little hunchbacked, and its two arms are much longer than those of humans, as if it can use its upper limbs to assist in walking like an ape. &1t;/p>
Almost all of the Centaur corpses were nailed with pine needles shot by two monsters, and it was evident that they had inflicted considerable damage on the centaurs during the battle. &1t;/p>
Barrett snapped a pine needle from the body of one of the monsters and placed it in front of his eyes, the length of the pine needle was about the same length as his index finger, and the tip was quite sharp, like a sharpened wooden arrowhead. &1t;/p>
The barbarian pinched the pine needles with his hands and turned them around twice in front of his eyes, but suddenly felt that the two fingers that touched the tips of the pine needles were slightly numb, as if these needles also carried a certain paralyzing toxin, and only skin contact could have a certain effect on people. He casually put the pine needle into the space ring, and put his slightly numb finger in the river to wash and wash. &1t;/p>
After inspecting the battlefield as a whole, there was one thing that the barbarians were particularly concerned about: &1t;/p>
Several of the corpses of the centaurs on his ground bear obvious signs of entanglement. Among them, the most miserable centaur looked like he had been tightly strangled by the Titan Python in the Misty Forest, his limbs were extremely unnaturally twisted, and the bones of his spine and chest cavity were also broken in large quantities, and he must have been squeezed by a huge force before he died. &1t;/p>
However, it is clear that the two monsters that appeared on the ground are not able to cause such serious damage, which means that there are other types of monsters involved in this battle. What kind of monster?&1t;/p>
The halfling, Druid Cad Oak Leaf, told them about the monster's invasion of the Hanhai Grassland, but he didn't tell them how many types of monsters there were. &1t;/p>
"That centaur was killed by the Withered Vine Monster. Grov the Bear saw the confusion in Barrit's eyes, "The 'Withered Vine Monster' is a large monster composed of countless vines entangled, and when it spreads out, the entire area is under its control, and any creature that steps into its realm will be entangled in its body, and once it can't break free, it will end up like that." ”&1t;/p>
After the bearman finished speaking, he began to dig into the ground with his huge claws, as if preparing to bury the corpses of these centaurs, "The Withered Vine Monster has a lot of intelligence, and it is the only existence among the monsters that can speak. More importantly, it seems to be able to communicate with the 'Mother Tree of Gantias' and listen to the orders of the Mother Tree from a distance. He told everyone the basic information about these monsters. &1t;/p>
"You've met them before?" Barrett walked over to the bearman, watching as he dug a deep pit with its claws extremely quickly. &1t;/p>
"Just two months ago, a gathering place of the Visnats was attacked by a large number of blighters. The bearman picked up a withered carcass of a centaur and lowered it into the pit, "I happened to be wandering around the gathering place at the time, so I was involved in that battle. ”&1t;/p>
"How do these monsters fight?" Barrett tried to help Grove dig a pit, but there was no shovel or hoe in the spatial ring, and the brute hesitated for a moment, and symbolically filled the pit where the corpse was placed with a few handfuls of earth. &1t;/p>
"The small 'Withereds' are very agile and numerous. They swooped in like ants, entangled with the Visnats of the congregation. The second pit also took shape in an instant under Grove's giant palms, "They climb onto human bodies and pierce their hearts and eyes with their claws, sucking their blood." ”&1t;/p>
"As for the 'Withered Needle Monster', there were less than ten of these monsters at the time, but they shot out needles like a torrential rain. Many people fell under their attack, and the situation was critical for a time. But these dangerous needles couldn't penetrate my fur, so they couldn't hurt me much. There was a hint of pride in Grove's tone, "I turned into a giant bear and rushed down into the middle of these monsters, tossing them to the ground one by one, and then turning back into a bear man, splitting them all in half with an axe. Grove waved his paw twice, "But those pinprick shots do hurt." ”&1t;/p>
"And then?" asked Jean, the guide who was tending to the horses. &1t;/p>
"Then I got entangled in one, or two, or maybe three, 'withered vines'. The bearman's tone became low, "Countless vines crept close to the ground and spread in all directions, grabbing my limbs and climbing up my arms in an attempt to strangle me to the ground. I broke free from one spine after another, chopping off one slice after another. But there were still more vines entangled, imprisoning me in place, squeezing my strength little by little. ”&1t;/p>
"Just when I was about to take it anymore, the Visnates used their lit flaming arrows to return the color to stop the blight's onslaught. Some of these flaming arrows shot around me, igniting the abominable vines and freeing me from the entanglement of the Withered Vines. ”&1t;/p>
"So, flames are a good way to deal with these 'blighters'?" Barrett asked. &1t;/p>
"Yes, withered plants burn more easily, and so do those monsters. Grove nodded in response, "But this season, the Hanhai Prairie often rains constantly, making everything wet. Moreover, flame is a very dangerous energy, if it is not used well......"&1t;/p>
Just then, the little mage Krees descended from the sky. He came to Barrit's side, frowned, and asked, "I've got something interesting, you say, will there be any survivors of this battle?"&1t;/p>
...... &1t;/p>
