Chapter 55: Komodo dragons
It wasn't until everyone had gathered in the hall that Liana said, "Anne and I fell asleep last night after we came to take over Kennan and Campbell's vigil. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info And Anne and I both fell asleep at the same time, which was almost impossible, and Martin didn't come down to take over the vigil afterwards. I suspect someone may have done something to us. ”
After Liana said that everyone became nervous, after all, the means that can make oneself lose the ability to resist without knowing it are too terrible. But at this point, Martin explained, "I guess it may be a natural cause." ”
"Oh, what do you say?" Kenan, who knew what was going on, naturally picked up when he saw Martin come out to explain.
This is, Martin took out a manual about the Twilight Forest, and turned to a page, "Here is a paragraph about the special phenomenon of the Moonlight Spring, which says that the Moonlight Spring will release fog at night from time to time, and all creatures within the range of the fog will fall into a deep sleep until the next morning. ”
Liana snatched the book and flipped through it, "Why didn't you say such important information earlier?"
Martin spread his hands regretfully, "The above does not summarize the pattern of the appearance of fog, and there is no evidence that fog can have a harmful reaction to the human body, so I don't think this is a big problem." Besides, it's the only place within a 50-mile radius that is the best place to camp, so there's no reason why I shouldn't camp here. ”
Liana opened her mouth but found that she couldn't refute the other party's words, but fortunately, Kenan came forward to persuade her to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere. Fortunately, the injuries of the gold coin have been much better, and everyone can continue on the road as long as they stay for another day. Therefore, there was not much conflict.
That night, the fog did not rise, and everyone was convinced that what happened last night was indeed an accident, so they suppressed the unpleasant events one after another. Embark on the road to Coolum again.
In the next few days, Kenan and the others had good luck, only encountering sporadic beasts, and occasionally encountering a lone monster could also be avoided without danger, which can be regarded as surprisingly lucky. On this day, at noon, Martin took out the map and gathered everyone, "This afternoon we are going to cross the most difficult part of the Twilight Forest, the following part of the journey is the sphere of influence of the jungle goblins, although they are also some green-skinned dwarfs, they are much smarter than goblins and kobolds, they not only have a relatively clear social division of labor and a strict social system, but also have a formed army of off-duty and professional soldiers with a clear division of labor. And there is a special battle formation training, which is much stronger than the kobold who can only rush up in a mess. While there are no Dragon-Vein Warlocks among them, the larger goblin tribes will have one or two Goblin Priests who will use magical totems to boost the morale of the army and increase its combat effectiveness. This is a bit of a hassle, but the Goblin Priest's personal abilities are mediocre, just releasing a simple lightning chain or training a few Timberwolves. Therefore, be careful when encountering them. It's best to get rid of the sacrifice first," the crowd nodded after listening to Martin's account.
As a result, Kenan and the others had just walked less than ten miles when dozens of sharp arrows suddenly shot from both sides of the road, and the sharp arrows struck everyone with the sound of the wind.
"Enemy attack!" Martin shouted, propping up his armor to protect himself. And Kenan and the others are not slow, they have been walking in the Twilight Forest for so many days, and they have experienced a lot of battles large and small, and after hearing the sound of breaking the air, they immediately subconsciously propped up their shields, and then looked for targets to prepare for a counterattack.
"Martin, aren't you on to detect malice around the clock, how did you get ambushed?" Kenan rolled over and jumped off the horse, crouched on the other side of the horse, and asked Martin loudly as he shielded the attack with the horse.
"The other party cast the fog of war to isolate the detection spells, hell, it must be a war priest. ”
Before Martin could finish speaking, dozens of sharp arrows shot over, but this time the target was no longer aimed at Kenan's people, but at the horses, because the horses themselves did not have any protection, poof, after dozens of sharp arrows piercing the flesh/body, the horses ridden by Kenan fell to the ground one after another.
"The other side is about 100 meters to the left, Gold Coin and Kenan are going to deal with the other party's soldiers, Liana and I are going to deal with the other party's priests, and Anne and Campbell are hiding on their own. Martin shouted, then drew his crosssword, using the trees as cover, and charged towards the fog to the left. At this time, the gold coin slowly disappeared and quietly touched the direction where the sharp arrow came.
Seeing this, Kenan did the same, using trees to cover his figure, and attacking in the direction where the sharp arrows came from. It wasn't until he had advanced about 80 meters that Kennan saw the assailant. The attackers were a group of green-skinned people about 1.4 meters tall, who looked a bit like goblins, but they were much taller than goblins, and their bodies were also muscular, so they looked much more powerful than the group of cowards. At this time, about 30 goblins wearing animal skins and holding wooden bows and arrows lined up in a line, constantly firing bows and arrows forward, while more than 30 goblins with scimitars and spears and wearing rudimentary leather armor were guarding on both sides. And a goblin with a feather on his head as a decoration, a large string of beast teeth hanging on his chest, and a wooden staff with a beast skull as a costume in his hand is chanting a spell on the surrounding goblins, and a stream of light continues to flash on this group of goblins, obviously some buff spells. Obviously, this goblin is what Martin called the Goblin Priest. Six distinctly taller goblins rode a giant creature that looked like giant lizards, dressed in slightly elaborate leather armor and standing guard beside the priest with a scimitar in their hands.
"Komodo dragons. At the sight of the monitor lizard, Kenan's eyes shrank and he immediately recognized the creature. This creature has been featured in the encyclopedia, and usually lives in swampy areas, with wide paws that make them walk on the ground in swamps, and the scales on their bodies are also very hard, probably stronger than the brown python they killed before. And it can also spit out corrosive smoke in the mouth, which can be regarded as a bully in the swamp. However, although this creature looks fierce, it is a herbivorous creature, that is, it lives by eating various plants, and its temperament is relatively docile, and the lizardmen who live in the corrosive swamps in the southwest like to use this distant creature as a mount. Although this creature is not as fast as a horse, it has a lot more stamina than a horse, and it can be snatched to make up for the loss of mounts.
Thinking of this, Kenan quickly pulled out a dozen or so cards with a group of scarring sorcery cards such as Shattered Blades, Acid Splashes, and Flame Bombs, and threw them into the goblin queue. In an instant, fire and acid flew together, and blades of light and crushed ice shot out. The goblin group that was killed at once was in chaos, although these witchcraft were not very lethal, but they successfully disrupted the opponent's formation and caused the opponent's panic. At the same time, more than a dozen burst crystals flew out from Kenan's left and above at the same time, flying into the goblin chaotic formation, and suddenly a violent explosion came from the chaotic ranks, and a large piece of stump and flesh flew into the sky. Seeing this, Kenan also threw ten burst crystals into it, and suddenly a large pile of minced meat flew up. Before the explosion stopped, Martin rushed out from behind the tree on his left, swinging his crosssword and rushing into the group of goblins where few people could stay standing.
