Chapter 36: The Black Horned Beasts

The wind was gentle, and the feeling on the cheeks was no different from the usual feeling. It's just that the taste is a little weird, as if there is an inexplicable aroma in the air, I don't know if it's because of these black and purple grasses. Or because of psychological reasons, in short, Shen Mu felt that it was a bit strange here.

"Everyone's on alert!Madman, take someone to the front to take a look!" As the captain of the team, the 'Wild Wolf' was the first to enter the battle mode, picked up the hunting bow behind his back, and held his breath to wander around, threatening to explode a fatal blow at any moment. Having escaped death in the Mixed Metaverse many times, he knew that no place here was safe.

The others were not slow to react, and before they could fully recover from their discomfort, they grabbed their weapons one after another, leaning on each other to form a protective formation to be on guard. It waited for more than ten seconds, and only after the 'madman' and the others withdrew to give a signal of safety, did they relax slightly.

"Everyone come here!" The 'wild wolf' did not delay for a minute, and immediately took out the map after putting away his bow and arrows, quickly made a mark on it, and said: "We are here now, remember the coordinates here, and we will return here in fifteen days." If you leave the team, you'd better get it back. ”

After speaking, he made another mark on the map: "This is the target of our operation, an underground ruin of a different world civilization, with a five-star danger level." It's about 200 kilometers in a straight line, and we plan to arrive in three days. There will be two forests and a canyon in the middle, and you may be attacked, so be careful. Okay, you get it, right? Rest on the spot and set off in five minutes! Then you, clean up the blood on your body immediately, if the smell of blood attracts the beast, I will be the first to chop you!"

The 'wild wolf' pointed at Shen Mu and glared at him.

Shen Mu was stunned by his glare, knowing that he was definitely not joking. Immediately, he hurriedly took out the hand towel he had prepared with him to wipe the blood on his face. But the blood stains can be wiped clean, and after a few wipes, the more they wipe, the more they wipe.

At this time, a female water magician next to her, perhaps with good intentions or out of a heart that did not want to be implicated, cast a spell and summoned a burst of water guns to spray Shen Mu from head to toe, and only after the clothes on her body were soaked were soaked can the blood stains be washed away, and then sprayed with some deodorant, you can cover the remaining faint smell of blood.

During this whole process, no one ever mentioned a teammate who died in the spatial passage, as if he had never been the person. This was the most terrifying place for Shen Mu, and at this moment he could be regarded as having a personal understanding of what it means to have a human life that is not valuable.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Shen Mu hurriedly set off without even having time to change the clothes on his body. Rushing at least 200 miles in three days, the speed of travel must not be slow, it can be regarded as a fast journey. But in this way, it will be difficult for Shen Mu, he is a first-level auxiliary priest, and his physical fitness must not be comparable to that of the combat department. After half an hour of galloping, my legs couldn't stand it. But Shen Mu could only grit his teeth and continue to hold on, he knew that he would never be left behind at this time, and once he fell behind, no one would wait for him.

For this situation, Shen Mu had already considered it before, so he specially prepared a magic potion that could increase endurance and speed. However, this elixir is very expensive, and Shen Mu only bought three bottles in total with limited funds, and the preparation was only used at a critical moment. But I didn't expect him to overestimate his current physical fitness, and he was a little unbearable at the beginning. But the problem is that if you use the stamina potion now, what will you do in the future? If you don't use it now, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with it in less than 20 minutes!

Shen Mu, who was sweating profusely on his head and panting out of breath and his legs, was hesitating to drink a bottle first. But at this moment, a tearing beast roar was suddenly heard, and a black beast emerged from the bushes next to it.

The beast's whole body was as black as ink, with a dog's head and a leopard body, two thick canine teeth exposed, and a black horn on its forehead that shimmered with the luster of Vajra.

The beast was so fast that it seemed to rush into the crowd in the blink of an eye, raising its horn and pounced on a female thief.

"Be careful!"

"Spread out!"

To say that the strength of these stowaways is not very strong, they are all second-order and third-order, but they are all very experienced in combat. In the face of the sudden attack, the female thief quickly stepped back, and the shield warrior who was always vigilant next to her immediately raised her shield to meet it, and the two magicians simultaneously issued an instantaneous control spell, and the female thief also threw out two daggers with a folding step.

With the skillful cooperation of several people, it didn't take a few minutes for this fierce beast to be killed. Shen Mu has been watching from behind, and it is useless for him to shoot if no one is injured. It can be seen that the combat power of this fierce beast is not strong, but the speed is relatively fast, at best, it is only second-level, so it is strange that it can survive in the face of the siege of four second-order professionals?

"Oops! Everyone get out of here immediately and speed up!" Just as Shen Mu was about to step forward to take a closer look at this fierce beast, the wild wolf came over and broke out in a cold sweat after only taking a look at the corpse of the fierce beast, and roared hurriedly.

"It's ...... Blackhorned Beast!" "There were still some people in the team who didn't understand Leng who couldn't react immediately on the spot, and some people recognized the origin of this fierce beast, and they couldn't help but turn around and run away in a cold sweat.

"As for being so nervous, this thing doesn't seem to have a good fighting power?" asked someone else, puzzled.

"Fool, don't you know that blackhorns have always lived in groups?"

When he heard the word 'group dwelling', Shen Mu felt a cold air rushing down his back to the top of his head, and without hesitation, he directly took out a bottle of endurance potion and poured it down, and then ran away with the large army.

Those with a little common sense know that the most terrifying things in the Mixed Metaverse are never those high-level beasts with super combat power, but those fierce beasts that are not of high level but live in large groups. It's like a pack of wolves on Earth, a lone wolf isn't scary, but a pack of wolves can keep even the bravest warriors out of reach.

Run, run desperately, a team of centaurs ran nearly three kilometers in just five minutes. However, the facts have once again proved a truth, man cannot outrun the beast.

Dark figures were moving rapidly through the dense woods, accompanied by a low roar, and a faint smell of blood began to permeate. The beast's sense of smell is often several times or even dozens of times that of humans, and the distance of three kilometers does not allow them to shake off the pursuit of the blackhorned beast, and the time is much lower than they expected.

"Besieged!"

"There are almost two hundred, and the number is still increasing!"

"What to do? Too much?"

"Don't panic, keep in formation!" The wild wolf is worthy of being an experienced old hunter, and at this time he can still maintain enough composure, standing in front of the team and raising his arms, he commanded: "Knight, the warrior is in front, the magician is in the middle, the thieves and assassins are on both sides, and all of them are in a triangular knife formation and follow me forward." Old Motou, find the Black Horned Beast King for me, if I can't find it, we all have to die here today!"

No one would joke with their lives, so the wolf's orders were carried out immediately. Two tall and strong shield warriors charged forward like tanks with heavy tower shields more than a man high, four knights and six blade warriors on both wings. Shen Mu was dipped in the light of the spell system, and was protected in the middle, which was a relatively safe position. Of course, safety is only relatively speaking, surrounded by hundreds of blackhorned beasts, no place is safe.

The attack came faster than expected, perhaps due to the Blackhorn's habits. The reason why blackhorned beasts, which are not very strong in combat, are terrifying, in addition to the fact that they live in groups, the more important thing is their grudge-bearing character and fighting style that is not afraid of death.

Several blackhorned beasts pounced on them and were quickly killed, and the smell of blood permeating the forest further stimulated the madness of the beasts. With a series of strange roars, the blackhorned beasts began to attack wildly.

Dozens of them pounced together, and the two shield warriors couldn't defend at all, and the second line of defense composed of two knights and six blade warriors fought desperately to barely resist it. But this was only the first wave, and when the blackhorned beasts began to attack like a tidal wave, the smuggling team's defenses immediately became precarious. The mages hiding in the middle of the team are also desperately trying to deal damage, such as the Fire Wall Technique, the Ice Storm, and the Ten Wind Blades...... All kinds of mass damage spells are still out, trying to divide the group of blackhorned beasts as much as possible.
