"Whew~~~~" A terrible roar sounded from the swamp, and the roar had a strong penetrating power, through the barrier of heavy trees, and spread to every piece of land in the nearby swamp. The cry is peculiar, it is someone imitating the roar of Hydra, one of the overlords of the swamp.

Hydra is a creature unique to the swamp, never leaving the Whispering Swamp, this kind of monster in the entire 100,000 square kilometers of the Whispering Swamp, there are less than thirty of them, but each of them has the strength of the legendary level or above, and their strength even made people associate them with the dragon clan for a time, and they were called Hydra by some people, so we can know their horror. This creature is not particularly huge, with a body length of about forty or fifty meters, and a height of less than ten meters at its highest point, but it has a power that is not commensurate with the reminder, and can make the boulder crack and shatter with a flick of its tail at will. Their biggest feature is that they have nine necks and nine heads, but there is only one consciousness, this consciousness is carried by nine heads, as long as there is one head left, it can ensure the integrity of its consciousness, and at the same time they have a strong recovery ability, belonging to one of the most difficult to kill monsters in the Yala world, even if it is a dragon, it will feel tricky to deal with this creature alone, and no sane creature is willing to fight this kind of monster, especially in the swamp. In the swamp, although the hydra looks bulky, it is actually a natural hunter, at the top of the food chain, and once the hydra attacks a prey, no monster can escape. Therefore, the roar of the hydra is the sound that all monsters are afraid of, and once this roar appears, all monsters will instinctively feel fear and quickly flee the area.

In fact, as soon as the cry of the hydra was remembered, the originally calm swamp fell into chaos, and a large number of demonic beasts were disturbed by the roar and began to flee in the direction away from the hydra. But there's not just one place where the roar comes from. Six or seven of the same roars, one after the other, came from different positions, and these sources were faintly in a circle, encompassing an area of about five or six square kilometers. Forced by the roar. A large number of large and medium-sized demonic beasts fled towards the center of this surrounded area in a panic, even if the original natural enemies passed by, they couldn't take care of it, and all the demonic beasts and beasts were frantically fleeing for their lives.

And so, the hunt began.

Lizardmen and elves. They are both darlings of Artemis, and they are both excellent races that are good at hunting, but the hunting methods they are good at are completely different. The way the elves hunted, like themselves, was full of elegance and romance, and every time they went out hunting, they only needed to bring two bows, a pot of arrows, and a small satchel to go into the jungle alone. Staring at a cunning prey, track it all the way, and finally use its will and strength to shoot the prey in the jungle and then go in search of another prey. They are more like poets than hunters, walking alone in the depths of the jungle, writing poems belonging to the jungle and elves with bows and arrows. Watching elves hunt is like admiring a beautiful work of art, every movement, every step. All are elegant and stunning. But the lizardmen are different, the lizardmen hunt in the form of a team, disturbing the prey in various ways. Then the division of labor and cooperation to round up and kill, just like a fierce jungle war, in this war, each hunter is only a small component, whether the hunt is successful or not, more depends on the mutual cooperation between the team. Rather than looking at each person's individual strengths. Watching the lizardmen hunt is more like watching a grand dance show, where everyone plays their part and contributes to the show.

What is unfolding in front of you now is such a scene. Hundreds of large and medium-sized monsters of different shapes ran wildly in the swamp, behind them, the sound of the high tree nets continued to hear the sound of the ropes, and countless lizardmen smeared with camouflage paint, closely following the beasts in the tree nets, like cats playing with mice, calmly and coldly consuming the physical strength of their prey. During the escape of the beasts, there were constantly demonic beasts that triggered the traps set by the lizards in advance, and fell to the ground wailing, and the wails of the victims aggravated the panic of the beasts, and the speed of escape was further accelerated. At this time, several members of the lizardfolk who were surrounded on all sides would automatically stay behind and cut the neck of the prey with a clean and neat technique, completely relieving the prey of the pain. And the hunters chasing behind the group of prey are not idle, they are not only chasing, on the way to track, there will always be some feathered arrows flying out of the dense branches and leaves of the tree net, accurately sinking into the necks of the last few monsters of the herd. The prey of the arrow fell down with a wail, but the monster in front could not find out that the monster behind it died at the hands of the hunter because of the direction problem, and still maintained the fear of the hydra and fled, and the hunting team continued to rely on bows and crossbows and traps, almost without danger to compress the number of prey a little bit.

"Actually, it's still dangerous, hiss. In the upper world at the top of the tree, Gallantis stood in the center of the hunting grounds, where all the prey would eventually arrive, and explained to the maidens: "Although these fleeing monsters are panicked, they are still very sensitive and hiss, and if they find out that something is wrong, they will be violently attacked by the angry beasts. Hiss, although the clansmen are all on the tree web, but most of these are Warcraft, many of them have long-range attack means, hiss, overwhelming long-range attacks are smashed head-on, and the hunters will be greatly damaged. Moreover, if such a large number of demonic beasts are allowed to escape, the hunting in the next few years will not be so easy, they will have a long memory, and they will not be able to deceive them next time. ”

Although they couldn't see the details of the hunting ground, the girls could still roughly tell what was going on with their voices and energy sense. The first time I saw the lizardman hunting scene, only the word amazement can describe the feelings in the hearts of the girls. It never occurred to them that hunting could be done like war, and victory could be won through tactics and cooperation.

"Is this your original plan?" Pannis, instead of standing with the girls, he stood on a flat, thick branch away from everyone, and asked Granel beside him, "Conduct a normal hunt, and use a large number of clansmen and demonic beasts to lure the lurkers out of the quagmire, so as to confirm the specific strength of the lurkers?"

"yes, we think it's relatively safe, hiss. Grannell explained: "It doesn't matter if someone is caught by the lurker, hey, the instant lethality of the lurker is not high, and it shouldn't kill the clansman in a short time, hiss, we still have time to rescue." ”

"That's because you're aiming for the average lurker. Pannis smiled, shook his head and said: "If you take the demigod demonic beast as the goal, I'm afraid you won't think so, with the strength of the demigod demonic beast, even if you only rely on the power of **, you can easily strangle a gold-level professional with your tentacles in a few seconds, not to mention that there are still many silver-rank ones in your hunting team, if the lurker is really led out unprepared, your casualties will be very large." ”

"I thought so, hiss. The old lizardman was very helpless, and said with his tail lowered: "But there is no way to do it, after all, this demonic beast appeared in our hunting ground, and it is likely that its appearance is related to the entire lizardman clan." ”

"I haven't asked in detail yet. Pannis asked, "What the hell is going on, isn't it said that the lurkers are all in the South Swamp, and the North Swamp is not suitable for them to live, why did one suddenly appear here, or is it a special demigod-level lurker?

"Hiss, the existence of this lurker has not started recently. The old lizardman sighed and explained, "About four or five months ago, there was evidence that it was already lurking in this hunting ground, hissing. However, since it was the end of the year during the hunting period, no one would come to the hunting grounds, so there were only two disappearances, hiss, and only the remains of them that had been eaten were found afterwards. It was also from these two disappearances, hiss, that I began to suspect that it was done by the lurkers, but the others were not very convinced, hiss, and most people thought it was just an ordinary Warcraft attack and did not pay attention to it. ”

"I don't pay attention to it. Pannis said thoughtfully, "So it's only now that you're preparing to deal with it?"

"Yes, hiss, until more than ten days ago, when the hunting break had just ended, a four-person exploration team entered the hunting ground to do the preliminary exploration work of the hunting, hissed, and disappeared. "There are so many clues left behind this time, so many that I can be sure that this is the lurker, hiss, and the others will have to choose to believe my experience." ”

"So, how did they get here?" Pannis asked, "It can't be that they came by themselves, even if they are lurkers of the demigod level, it is impossible to run all the way from the South Swamp to the North Swamp, and it is even more impossible to run over without being detected." Do you have any clues about this, and why do you say it has to do with your entire race?"

"No, but the lurker's larvae aren't large, hissing, and the juvenile size is the size of two fists of an adult lizardman. The old lizard said, "If someone were carrying lurker hatchlings, hiss, it would be possible to bring them from the South Marsh." ”

"So you suspect that your people smuggled it here?" Pennis frowned, "but ......"

"No, quite the opposite, hiss, I don't think the people would do such a thing, the only one who does it could be an outsider. The old lizardman suddenly lowered his voice and looked in the direction of Galantis before whispering, "In the last six or seven years, every year, some mages from the country of mages have come to the high priest from outside. ”

"I see. Pannis narrowed his eyes and said softly, "This is the real reason why you didn't ask Alcmene for help in the first place." (To be continued.) )
