Chapter 463: Monsters in the Lair (1)
Finding the nest of a monster is not a simple matter, especially the big-eared monster's hearing is extraordinary, and Leng Huo and the others should be even more careful and careful.
As a result, the sea pillar with heavy footsteps was immediately excluded, and Mogen was injured and was also arranged to stay. Originally, Tie Dun was still enthusiastic and ready to show off his skills with the past, however, Qiu Yang directly shattered his dream.
The shorthorn clan is not only a horse lover and an atmosphere destroyer, but also a natural enemy of sneak attacks. Count on them to be scouts, rather than expect the big-eared monsters to come to the door themselves.
The big-eared monsters have always been a swarm of swarms to rob, but this time they are unusual, and the leader does not appear, making the cautious Qiuyang very worried about the safety of those left behind.
Not only did he not allow Tiedun to follow, but he also deliberately left two wind spiders to assist them in their defense. After all, if the big-eared monster poured out of the nest, it would be difficult to protect the wind horse beast from harm with the strength of the three of them alone. And if they have two more wind spiders in their hands, they will be much safer.
As a result, the power to attack the Big-Eared Monster's lair immediately weakened a lot. However, they have two sword masters, which is enough to protect themselves. At that time, whether to advance or retreat, you can choose calmly.
Leng Huo watched coldly and found that Qiu Yang was a person with a very contradictory personality. On the one hand, he is very protective of his teammates, and can be said to be a bit of a bad guy, but on the other hand, he can become very impulsive and belligerent when he faces monsters. It can be guessed that Qiu Yang must be a person with a story behind him.
After making the arrangements, the three of them followed the footprints left by the big-eared monster all the way.
At this time, it is the middle of winter. The weather is dry, with little rain and snow. The floating soil on the ground is thick, which makes the footprints very visible. For Cold Fire, who had lived in the wilderness for a long time, there was nothing difficult about this tracking.
In the miscellaneous wood jungle, the only thing that caused trouble to the three of them was the clumps of bushes, which interfered with the speed of everyone's progress at all times.
The gray and black bark of the tree wraps around the vigorous trunk, and the curvy branches contain the energy of the whole winter, and once the spring breeze arrives, the dull and dead jungle will immediately burst into endless life.
At this moment, the sparse woods made it more difficult for the three of them to hide, but fortunately, the big-eared monster was frightened by Leng Huo and the others, and did not turn around at all along the way, and ran straight towards the direction of the nest.
Following the obvious traces, Leng Huo and the others had advanced into the woods for about seven or eight miles, and finally heard a noise. The sound was like a high-pitched, piercing scream, as if it were a group of frightened monkeys.
Qiu Yang suddenly raised his hand, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and squatted slightly.
Leng Huo immediately stopped, drew his sword, and scanned his surroundings vigilantly. Ziyan's figure flashed, and she had already left the place, and when she reappeared, the bow in her hand was like a full moon, and the arrow had been wound, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
However, there is no danger here.
After a few seconds, they were stealth, lying on an irregular low dirt slope looking at the source of the sound. A filthy camp appeared before their eyes.
Big-eared monsters don't have a habit of hygiene, in fact, it's a common problem for almost all monsters.
Inside the camp, the simple dwellings made of sticks, branches, and dead grass were only protected from the rain. In the center of the camp is the black ash that has been burned to ashes, the remains of the campfire used by the big-eared monsters to keep warm. There was a large iron pot hanging under the huge 'human' shelf, and I don't know where it was snatched. Inside the pot are the stumps and severed arms of animals or humans, which are extremely disgusting.
Twelve 'majestic' big-eared monster guards walked aimlessly through the camp. They are 'well-armed' and have a thick, dirty fur that provides a slight defense against swords. In addition to bows and arrows, their weapons even have a short sword and two short spears, which can be called "rich".
The screams were not made by the guards.
In the center of the camp, a strange monster stood. Its body was round, and its six tentacles supported it like legs. There are also four tentacles on it, as if they were four arms. At this moment, one of its tentacles pierced into the head of a big-eared monster, sucking its brain marrow.
The miserable big-eared monster twitched and trembled, but was powerless to resist. Looks like this unlucky guy is the one who ran away and came back to report the news.
In an instant, Qiu Yang's face was as pale as frost, his eyes were gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "Heart Eater! No wonder the leader of the big-eared monster didn't appear, it seems that he has been killed by it!"
Ziyan is not a person who likes to talk, but she can't remain silent at this moment, she looked at the monster with some horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Qiuyang, the Heart Eater is a fourth-order monster, and we can't win." ”
Leng Huo was also a little frightened, and added in a low voice, "Not only that! The Heart Eater is also a top-notch existence among the fourth-order monsters. An ordinary fourth-order monster doesn't even deserve to lift its shoes!
The two abilities of the Mind Eater, Soul Whip and Dominate Creatures. These two abilities are properly coordinated, even if the two of us have advanced to the Sword Sect, we may not be able to win with confidence. Among all the Sword Sect-level professions, only the Marksman of the Emerald Shadow Forest can perfectly deal with this monster. ”
Qiu Yang's face showed a look of struggle, obviously not calm, "But we have only heard that this heart eater is very powerful. Wouldn't it be against the way of a warrior to retreat without a fight now! Today we have retreated in front of the Mind Eater, and in the future, we will be able to run away in the face of a stronger enemy in the defense line of the gods?"
"But if we fight hard, we have no chance of winning! Even if we bring all three wind spiders over, they will all be given in vain, and we may even be controlled by the mind eater in turn, and they will attack us on the spot. Qiuyang, Captain, retreat!" "Purple Smoke is not a cowardly person, but the Mind Eater is far from being comparable to the Blood Spider.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them would give up easily, and then, the two turned their eyes to the cold fire and asked him to make a statement. Cold fire headache.
He thought for a moment, tapped his forehead, and came up with a compromise plan, "That's it! I and Qiuyang can last for about five minutes." We're only going to fight for two minutes, trying to kill as many Big-Eared Monster guards as we can that are controlled by the Mind Eater. Two minutes later, we immediately fled and informed the mercenary guild to change the mission, which is also our small help, how about it?"
Purple Smoke nodded in agreement. She's not unreasonable, she's just not willing to hit a stone with an egg.
Qiu Yang is not a fool who insists on sending him to death, he frowned and thought for a moment, and immediately said categorically: "That's it!"
"Purple Smoke opened the bow to lure the monster over, and cooperated with the cold fire to kill the big-eared monster guards. I'm going to test the depth of the Mind Eater. We only fought for two minutes, and if things didn't go well, we would retreat immediately. "Qiuyang is such a person, he has some moral cleanliness, but he is not inflexible.
