Aung San held a large wooden bowl and looked at the roasted wheat cakes floating in the soup and the large piece of boiled wild boar, and a strong aroma stimulated his taste buds.

He has not eaten much wild boar in the northern hills of the Dodan Gorge over the years, and he can even say that he is tired of eating it.

Every time it is nothing more than a barbecue on the fire, this way of eating is not new for Aung San.

The only difference is that the cavalry are more willing to add some spicy spices and salt to the soup pot than the gatherers, and the salty food is basically not too unpalatable.

Surdak tossed a piece of oily fat back into the soup pot.

The cavalry in the barren land were all dirt buns, and the food in those villages was very scarce, and sometimes they did not get meat for months, and probably only they thought that the most delicious thing about wild boars was their thick fat.

In fact, the wild boar climbs the mountains and mountains every day, and the fat layer on the wild boar's body is extremely limited due to a lot of exercise, and the cavalry feels that fat is delicious, followed by those fat intestines and internal organs hanging with net oil.

The cavalry in the back of the queue would reluctantly take out the lean meat from the soup pot.

Surdak tossed his fattest piece into the pot, picking out some ribs from the pot before walking over to Gulit with a large wooden bowl and watching him roast the two skinned ghost leopards.

When he saw Aung San snorting and swallowing a bowl of broth cakes into his stomach, he beckoned him to sit down.

Further north, you'll enter the Invercargill Monster Forest.

The forest of pine, oak, and oak trees in front of you looks deep and lonely, and there is even the howling of wild wolves in the distance.

Invercargill Warcraft Forest is a general term for the forests in the northern part of the White Forest Plane, which is in fact a collective term for the strip of forests that stretch from the town of Plantos in the east to the town of Nantu in the west, which stretches for 400 kilometers in the north.

The territory that the Grimm Empire has opened up in the White Forest Plane is basically a large area of land radiating outward from Wilkes City.

The town of Dodan is a border town in the northern part of the Occupation Zone, which is also the northern gateway to the Occupy Zone.

Surdak set his eyes on a mountain range to the north, looking at the Invercargill Monster Forest in front of him, and Aung San, the gatherer, had the best say in what to do next.

Surdak still doesn't understand what the beast tide is like.

He walked out of the Dodan Gorge and saw these beasts in the hilly terrain, which did not pose any threat to the northern walls of Dodan Town.

"Aung San, are these beasts the only ones in this hilly area?" Surdak put down the wooden bowl in his hand and asked Aung San beside him.

Aung San pondered for a moment before he said: "In addition to the wild boar herd, the most common sightings here are some colorful brocade doves, snowcocks, gray otter rabbits, hedgehogs and elk, and occasionally some black bears, wolves, lynx and other carnivores run in, and the indigenous tribes here basically rely on hunting for a living." ”

"There aren't so many beasts here, and beasts like ghost leopards and black bears won't easily run out of the Invercargill Monster Forest, unless they're dizzy from hunger."

"They are very territorial, and they know that the hilly terrain is the hunting ground of the indigenous tribes, and it is life-threatening to step on it."

"But now due to the approaching beast tide, the division of territory in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest has been completely chaotic."

"More and more animals are coming out of the forest, and the predators are coming out with them."

"The mountain in front is the territory of the black-maned beast king, that guy is very lazy, has a good appetite, eats everything, usually basically does not run out of the territory, only takes a group of its harem to dig kudzu in the forest, and also eats cassava and white-ringed canes, usually if there are other beasts running to its territory, it doesn't mind opening meat."

"The pine-striped boars in this hilly area all have some of that guy's blood in them."

"When we enter the Invercargill Monster Forest, we have to pass through the territory of the Mane Beastmaster, as long as we walk along the edge of the territory, there is a high probability that we will not meet that guy, he usually doesn't like to patrol his territory very much."

"As gatherers, few people dare to go to the valley to the east......"

Aung San climbed a pine tree, stood on the horizontal branches of the pine tree, stretched out his hand and pointed to a leafy col to the east, and said.

"There is a large group of moon-bladed fire wolves living there, the leader is a moon-bladed fire wolf king with four eyes, it is said that this group of moon-bladed fire wolves defeated the iron-backed man-bear who has been entrenched in this mountain range for a long time, and became the new king of this mountain, the moon-bladed fire wolf likes to live in groups, this wolf king has a large group of moon-bladed fire wolves, their territory is very large, and from that mountain col spreads widely, the mountains behind them also belong to them."

Surdak asked Aung San curiously, "In this Demonic Beast Forest, are there only these Maned Beasts and Moonblade Fire Wolves?" Even if they appeared in groups in the Dodan Gorge, ten times more numerous, they probably wouldn't be able to climb over the northern city wall! At most, these monsters are just adding some supplies to us. ”

Aung San laughed and said, "What you said is just these magical beasts in the edge of the Invercargill Demonic Beast Forest, in the early stage, some mane beasts and moonbladed fire wolves will run into the Dodan Canyon, and it is estimated that there will be no later." ”

Aung San said with a serious face: "The so-called beast tide is actually a colony of tens of thousands of ironclad ghost-patterned red ants in the depths of the Warcraft Forest. ”

"These ant colonies originally thrived in the Dark Worm Valley deep in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, but every ten years, the queens there would give birth to countless ghost-striped red ants, and they would crawl out of the nests almost at the same time, and they would eat everything in the forest and then spread to the rest of the forest."

"They don't go to the cold north, they only migrate south, and almost all the animals in the forest are food for their mouths, except for fleeing, these animals have almost no resistance in front of the army of red ants."

"At this time, the so-called beast tide is only in its infancy."

"When some new ants fly out of the nest, these ghostly red ants will form an army of red ants and spread everywhere in an organized manner."

"That's when they launch an organized attack on the Dodan Gorge, and they are so numerous that they will almost fill the entire Dodan Gorge."

Aung San said with a solemn expression.

Surdak took a breath of cold air, but he didn't expect that the real beast tide was the new queen expansion territory of the ghost-patterned red ants, and they chose to invade forward, so they naturally had to enter the hinterland of the occupation area from the Dodan Gorge.

Surdak then asked Aung San: "Won't there be?" ”

Aung San shook his head and said: "Ordinary ghost-patterned red worker ants do not have a magic core in their bodies, and the hard carapace on their bodies is useless, so they are worthless, and because they are good at spewing extremely corrosive acid, they are extremely damaging to the mercenaries' weapons and armor, and the price paid for hunting them often outweighs the losses, so not many adventure groups and mercenary groups are willing to come here to stop the ghost-patterned red ants, unless it is a bounty mission issued by Wilkes City." ”

"Only the ghost pattern red soldier ants belong to the category of second-level demonic beasts, it is not easy to hunt them, and in addition to the demon core, their hard carapace is still useless, and it is a completely worthless demonic beast material."

Aung San wiped his mouth, his eyes full of memories, and said:

"Every time the beast tide will have some ghost pattern soldiers and ants infiltrate the occupied area, Wilkes City will issue a bounty task, asking the mercenary group in the city to hunt red ants that invade the territory in the occupied area, the last beast tide, I accepted the employment of an adventure group, and I got three gold coins......"

Aung San said a lot about the beast tide, according to him, only the second-level ghost pattern soldier ants have some value, but a group of ghost pattern red ant army soldier ants are considered the main force of the battle, and it is not an easy task to kill a ghost pattern soldier ant.

The ghost pattern red ant will also enslave some low-level Zerg monsters, and cooperate with the ghost pattern worker ants, which is the so-called beast tide.

Once the beast tide formed by the ghost-patterned red ants is eliminated, the Invercargill Warcraft Forest will be in a Warcraft territory vacuum for a while, which is the best time for the Imperial army to expand the territory to the north, and at this time, it is very easy to enter the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.

However, the need to build a fortification in the Invercargill Monster Forest against the Monsters in the northern part of the forest has always been the biggest problem for the Bernard Legion.

And if you don't completely solve the ghost red ants, you will never be able to occupy the Invercargill Warcraft Forest in the true sense.

……

Surdak's cavalry took a break outside the Invercargill Monster Forest before entering the forest under Aung San.

This mountain range belongs to the territory of the Mane Beast King, but when the cavalry set foot on this woodland, they found that the entire forest area had become a mess, and many small beasts in the territory were migrating to the hills and mountains.

Some carnivorous beasts have become extremely irritable, they don't even kill for food, but purely for the sake of killing, and there are carcasses mauled to death by carnivores everywhere, and this has become a paradise for scavengers.

Aung San rode at the front, his horse's hooves stomping a piece of Bai Sensen's jawbone into the dirt, and he looked around warily......

In front of him lurked in the canopy of a large tree to his right, a large bobcat hunched over and ready to pounce, its location revealed by its two heterochromatic pupils, one red and one blue.

Samira held the withered painting in her hand, ready to shoot the great lynx with an arrow.

Probably sensing the murderous aura that permeated Samira's body, the big lynx, although a little irritable and bloodthirsty, quickly jumped from that tree to another with its beastly instinct to perceive danger.

The great lynx was light and agile and soon disappeared from the canopy.

Aung San glanced back at Samira and Gullitham, although he didn't know their true strength, but the beasts in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest could make him know them again, and it was the first time Aung San had seen an archer who could scare the big lynx away at a glance.

Aung San had been here many times, and every time he infiltrated the woodland, he had to fight the maned beasts in order to dig up magical herbs in the woodland in front of him.

Only this time, though, was he riding through the territory.

Although it only slipped past the edge of the Maned Beast's territory, it was impossible for such a large group of people not to make some noise.

He saw that the ogre seemed to be looking forward to meeting the maned beasts, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The ogre Gullitam walked in the line with a bone-crushing stick, looking at the top of the mountain with some unwillingness, a pair of bell-sized eyes full of longing.

According to Aung San, the Maned Beastmaster and his harem were in the forest, where kudzu always grows, and this magic grass is highly resilient, one of the Maned Beasts' favorite food, and the main ingredient for making primary healing potions.

"Head, are we going to hunt down that Mane Beastmaster?" The ogre wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked Surdak.

Surdak shook his head and said:

"Not now, we're going to the depths of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to reconnoitre, try not to cause conflict, and when you return, if you can seize the opportunity, I won't stop you......"

The ogre was a little disappointed, and muttered to Surdak:

"Eating its meat definitely strengthens your physique."

Surdak also knew that the ogre to improve his strength basically relied on eating the flesh and blood of some powerful demonic beasts.

He hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Aung San, what level of demonic beast does that Mane Beast King belong to?"

Aung San didn't even think about it, but said with great certainty:

"There is probably a third level, and the strength should not be underestimated, I have heard that there are no less than fifteen adventure groups destroyed in its hands, they always feel that the mane beast will not break through the shackles of the second level bottleneck, but the mane beast in this mountain range has definitely reached the third level of the first level."

"Let's talk about it first......" Surdak said decisively, no longer thinking about hunting.

If it's a lone three. Level Demonic Beast, this team still has a great chance of hunting, but in the face of a race, even if all the cavalry of the cavalry battalion are brought over, it will not be able to easily kill this Mane Beast King, and it will even let it escape into the depths of the forest.

With three. It's not a good thing for the level of demonic beasts to have a grudge, they will be full of hatred for the people of the empire.

Surdak's cavalry battalion will not be affected.

In the future, gatherers will have to grow an extra pair of ears and a pair of eyes in this forest, and unless they are hunted, they will never stop retaliating.

Under the leadership of Aung San, Surdak and his party quickly passed through the territory of the Black-Maned Beast King, and no matter how far ahead, they could not avoid the territory of the Moonblade Fire Wolf King.

Aung San originally wanted to take a detour, but at the edge of the territory, he happened to see a glazed beast more than three meters long pounce a moonblade fire wolf to the ground, instantly biting his throat, and there were five or six moonbladed fire wolf corpses next to him, it looked like they should have been bitten to death by the glazed beast.

When the glazed beast saw Surdak's cavalry, it let out a low roar, and its whole body turned into a white cannonball, and it pounced on Aung San, who was at the front of the group.

"Ding, ding!"

With two soft sounds, two stainless steel arrows fell to the ground in no particular order.

The glass beast let out a painful wail, but it was not injured in any way, but after being hit by the arrow, its body refracted in the air, jumped onto a large tree, and slipped away like a floating light.
