718. Ironback Man-Bear
Generally speaking, the glazed beasts that rank among the second-level demonic beasts like to go out day and night, and go alone.
Only during estrus, the glazed beasts will appear in pairs in the mountains and forests, their biggest feature is that they have the ultimate speed and explosiveness, as a speed class two monsters, the glazed beasts in the jungle natural enemies are not many, even if the opponent is difficult to match, can also rely on speed to escape away.
Because the surface of the fur of the glazed beast has a luster like a colorful gemstone, it is loved by the nobles of the Grimm Empire, so this type of monster has a very high commercial value, and the glazed beast is one of the most interesting prey for adventurers and witchers.
They are intelligent and cautious, and rarely reveal their whereabouts during the day.
I didn't expect to see a glass beast here, and it actually bit a few moonblade fire wolves to death.
You must know that these moon-bladed fire wolves usually like to appear in groups, and the glazed beast can easily torture and kill a lone moonblade fire wolf, but if it is a group of moon-bladed fire wolves, the glazed beast usually chooses to avoid the battle and run away.
This matter is definitely a bit abnormal, the monsters in the Invercargill Monster Forest have been more irritable lately, and even this glass beast that usually stands at the top of the food chain has actually run out of the depths of the forest.
The cavalry retrieved the corpses of several Moonblade Fire Wolves, and brought them back to Dodan, where the fur could still be exchanged for money, and if they were lucky, they could even find the Demon Core from their skulls.
Aung San used his knife to cut off some of the vines hanging from the tops of the trees, opening a passage for the cavalry battalion.
The Moonblade Fire Wolf King in this territory didn't seem to want to provoke the cavalry battalion, and several Moonblade Fire Wolves stood on the commanding heights in the territory, coldly watching the cavalry squadron slowly pass through the Moonblade Fire Wolf King's territory along the edge of the mountain.
……
The cavalry squadron continued inside, and along the way, some bobcats could be seen chasing small beasts in the woods.
Some ferocious forest dragons in the bushes crawled out of their burrows and slowly crawled south along the branches in the canopy.
Everywhere you go, a flock of birds will be startled from time to time.
Once you enter the Invercargill Monster Forest, you can feel that all the animals are being forced to migrate south.
There are always some carnivores that follow from behind.
There was an extremely discordant bustle throughout the Invercargill Monster Forest, and the corpses of some small beasts could often be seen.
The cavalry marched up the mountain stream, and because of the rampant monsters here, Aung San did not dare to set foot lightly.
The squadron of cavalry walked through the forest for a full day, and at dusk Aung San found a cliff where all the cavalry set up camp.
Hunting can be said to be a pleasure, and with patience, you can always hunt small beasts that run out of the northern forest.
Instead of eating stewed meat for dinner, the cavalry unexpectedly encountered a herd of musk deer, and shot out with a random arrow, leaving a dozen musk deer in the woodland, skinning and cutting the meat, directly on the hot stone slab, roasting these venison to the core, sprinkling some salt, and the smell provoked a few carnivorous beasts lurking nearby.
The other bobcats and hungry wolves, everyone didn't pay much attention to them, and thought it would be okay to chase them away for dinner.
But when an iron-backed man-bear rushed out of the bushes, its huge body weighing nearly a thousand pounds, and stood up there was the ogre Gullitham, this man-bear was covered in dark fur, and only the pattern on its chest was a pure white crescent.
A deafening roar came from his mouth, and the entire valley reverberated incessantly.
That roar seemed to contain some kind of magic, and the moment it spread, it made people feel a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts. My legs are weak, and I can't take a step.
When the two huge forepaws of the man-bear landed on the ground, a powerful wave of qi erupted from its body, spreading out in all directions.
The air currents blew the low weeds around them and fell outward, and the body of the iron-backed man-bear would be tightly constricted like a spring at this moment, and the next second it would eject out, and the fat body would stir up waves of flesh.
Jumping like this can make it leap nearly a dozen meters away.
This iron-backed man-bear is definitely a second-level demonic beast, but it is usually supposed to live in the depths of the Invercargill Demonic Beast Forest, and it usually has no contact with humans.
It was not afraid of cavalry at all, and rushed forward as if it were a hegemon.
Although the target of the iron-backed man-bear was not those Gubolai war horses, its appearance caused the war horses to panic, and if it were not for the two aboriginal herdsmen trying to appease them, they would have blown up the herd and fled in all directions.
The man-bear opened a bloody mouth and slapped a veteran guarding the edge of the makeshift camp with four canine teeth half a foot long.
Its eyes were an almost insanely bloody color, and it looked extremely aggressive.
The ogre Gulitham stood up immediately, grabbed the bone-crushing stick on the side, and rushed towards the iron-backed bear without hesitation.
The ogre's body was usually the color of ash and shimmered with marble, but the moment he stood up, an inky totem pattern appeared all over his body.
Those magic patterns were usually completely hidden under its skin, and the moment they surfaced, a vortex of magical power quickly gathered on his body.
The surface of the skin is condensed into rock-like patterns, and the muscles are bulging......
Taking a step, a long howl came out of the ogre's mouth, and a red halo spread out from the ogre's feet, and all the cavalry present felt an inexplicable force injected into their bodies from their feet.
The second step out, the momentum of the ogre's whole person immediately increased a lot, and the phantom of an ogre ancestor appeared behind him.
The ogre's third step was to jump out, and he leaped high, holding the bone-crusher stick in both hands and smashing it into the head of the ironback bear that was rushing towards the crowd.
As he picked up the bone-crusher stick, the cavalry around him even heard a whining sound that broke through the air.
Aung San was still crouching in front of the fire, completely unresponsive, and by the time he realized that it was an iron-backed man-bear, his face was already pale with fright.
He stared dumbfounded, at the battlefield ahead.
Just now, the ogre who was still drooling at the corner of his mouth and couldn't move his eyes to the venison on the stone slab, now he rushed to the front as the god of war, barely giving the iron-backed man-bear any time to react, and the bone-crushing stick smashed the man-bear's mouth.
Although the thick fat around the iron-backed man-bear's chin neutralized some of the strength, the bone-crushing stick still smashed firmly into the man-bear's face.
It was almost an ogre's full blow, and the dull sound of bone cracking could be heard with great clarity.
The Ironback Bear was knocked to the ground by Gullitham's stick.
But the stick didn't stun it, it even just whimpered, and its huge body rolled on the ground to cancel out the force on the bone-crusher stick, and a pair of bear paws pounced on the ogre.
The iron-backed man-bear's counterattack was super fast, and the two thick bear paws with the phantom of ten claw blades instantly pounced on the ogre's chest. Former.
Although Gullitham raised the bonecrimp, the ironback bear's claws slapped against the bonecrusher and slapped it on his chest. Before, the ogre was forced to take a step back.
The iron-backed man-bear, with its physical advantage, swayed its fat all over its body, and a bloody mouth bit down on the ogre's left shoulder.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and there was hardly any pause on either side, and the cavalry on all sides could not intervene.
Only two steel arrows turned into white light, piercing the thick fur around the neck of the ironback man-bear, sticking it in its throat.
Its fur was quite tough, and although the sharp arrow was stuck in the neck of the ironback bear, it was not as easy as Samira had expected to pierce its cervical vertebrae, paralyzing it all over.
The thick fat on the neck held back the arrows, and the sharp teeth of the ironback man-bears cut through the skin on the ogre's shoulders.
Rubble flew, and blood peeked out of the ogre's shoulder.
The ogre touched his shoulder, licked the blood on his hand, grabbed the bone-crushing stick with both hands and pressed it against the jaw of the ironback bear with all his might, and fell to the ground with one person and one bear together.
The bone-shattering stick oppressed the iron-backed man-bear's mouth, but the huge body easily overturned the ogre.
When the ogre is unable to form an overwhelming advantage over the iron-backed man-bear in terms of strength, the ogre's attack methods are very limited.
The iron-backed man-bear rushed towards the ogre like a madman again, and the ogre's shadow of the ancestor was once again shown behind him, and without any means of defense, he rounded the bone-shattering stick and faced the iron-backed man-bear.
Just a second before the ogre touched the Ironback Bear, a heavy dwarven chain shield slapped into the Ironback Bear's face.
Surdak took a step, the blood-red crescent in his hand stabbing down from the side into the iron-backed man-bear's chest until the handle of the blood-red crescent moon completely submerged into the iron-backed man-bear's body.
The Ironback Manbear swung out his paw and grabbed Surdak at the chest.
The bone-crushing stick in the ogre Gullitham's hand didn't have time to withdraw, he decisively gave up the bone-crushing stick in his hand and smashed it on the bear's paw with a punch.
Two sharp swords flew past the ogre's ears and pinned head-on to the throat in the center of the Ironback Manbear's gaping bloody mouth, the sharp tips of the arrows peeking through the back of the Ironback Manbear's neck.
At this time, the cavalry around them also surrounded them with spears.
And the iron-backed man-bear twitched all over at this moment, lost control of his body, and fell like a mountain of meat.
The ogre also gasped for a fart. The strand sits on the iron-backed man-bear.
Aung San only then realized that although the battlefield looked a little tragic, it only lasted less than three minutes from the beginning to the end of the battle.
Such an iron-backed man-bear that was rampant in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest was actually hunted.
Usually, when these gatherers see this kind of magical beast, they basically run as far as they can, and many people can't escape, so they will basically be buried in the bear kiss.
He walked over with a look of surprise on his face, and saw that the iron-backed man-bear's body was not yet cold.
Surdak pulled out the blood-red crescent that had been inserted into the body of the iron-backed man-bear, and a stream of blood gushed out from the wound.
Aung San found that these people didn't seem to know the use of bear blood, but just let these precious bear blood flow out at will, and hurriedly took out the big wooden bowl that was distributed at noon, squatted next to the iron-backed man bear, and let the blood flow into the wooden bowl.
And shouted to the cavalry on the side: "Bring the iron pot quickly, this is a good thing, don't waste it......"
Of course, the cavalry of these barren lands quickly brought the large iron cauldron and filled it with all the blood that flowed from the chest cavity of the ironback man bear.
Aung San quickly pulled out his pocket knife and laboriously sliced through the fur from the iron-backed bear's belly.
Although it was only a palm-long mouth, he also felt very deeply how tough the fur on the ironback bear's body was.
Aung San put his hand into the belly of the iron-backed man-bear, and found the dark green gallbladder, which was larger than an egg, under the liver page, and easily peeled it off.
Cut open the gallbladder while it was hot, let the rich bile mix into the bear blood in the big wooden bowl, and then brought such a large bowl of fishy and bitter bear blood to Surdak, and said to him: "Lord Baron, drink it quickly, once this bowl of blood is cold, the effect will be gone......
Surdak didn't expect Aung San to toss for a long time, for such a bowl of bear blood that looked like it made people want to be sick.
However, he also knew that this unknown home remedy probably belonged to the potion formula in the hands of the local aborigines, and although this formula was very simple and barbaric, it had a very short timeliness, and it had to be drunk on the spot while the bear's blood was still cold.
Surdak didn't think much about it, holding the big wooden bowl, and poured such a large bowl of bitter and smelly bear blood into his stomach in one breath.
After the disgusting bear blood poured into the stomach, it immediately turned into a warm current, as if a green aura lingered in the body, and little by little penetrated into the limbs.
Aung San stood beside Surdak and said:
"These bear blood is the source of the power of the iron-backed human bear, and the moment they get cold, the source of power contained in them will completely dissipate, and everyone can drink some, but this bear blood can only feel the effect when you drink it for the first time."
Even if Aung San doesn't say so, the ogre is ready to drink a little.
As soon as Aung San said this, such a large pot of bear blood was immediately divided by the cavalry.
"The indigenous tribes here still have such customs?"
Surdak wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and rinsed his mouth carefully, removing the bitter taste from his mouth, and said to Aung San.
Aung San nodded: "The young people of the indigenous tribe of the Invercargir Warcraft Forest, if they want to become the captain of the tribal warriors, they need to kill an iron-backed man-bear alone, and drink the bear blood mixed with this bitter gall on the spot, this is a ritual that only the indigenous tribes here have, these are handed down from the tribe, and the warriors of our tribe will drink ......."
Surdak wiped the blood-red crescent clean and asked Aung San as he wiped it, "Are there any indigenous people living here?" ”
Aung San looked at the surrounding mountains and forests and replied, "There are some, but they are all very difficult, here they are both hunters and prey, and there is abundant food here, but there are often some demonic beasts rushing into the tribe, and some powerful beasts break into the tribe, and it is easy to eat everyone in the tribe." ”
After a pause, Aung San added: "They have little contact with the outside world, they think of themselves as wild animals, they have long been accustomed to the cruel way of life here, and unlike the indigenous tribes in the hills, their lives are more closed. ”
"You have a connection with them?" Surdak asked calmly.
Aung San hesitated for a moment before confessing: "Occasionally, there will be some, I know the elders of several tribes around me, and they are also willing to trust me, and I will provide them with some iron and salt for their livelihood every six months." ”
