1403. Hunters

tent

Under the stars

The murmuring of the river is sparkling in the light of the campfire.

Countless herds of cattle gathered here, and a few young herdsmen and girls squatted by the river to draw water, laughing and scolding from time to time.

Aphrodite sat beside Surdak and seemed to enjoy such a wonderful evening.

Gulit Thum's snoring could be heard on the grass not far away......

……

In the early morning, herders have already begun to drive their cattle away on their own, and they continue to chase the abundant water and grass north.

According to the information exchanged last night, the herders had decided that the demon legions would not easily cross the Kandar Mountains into the Great Meadows, so the cattle could continue to nibble on the grass there as they continued north.

The herdsmen looked at the lonely marching tent on the other side of the river and saw that Surdak had gone far on horseback.

A red sun slowly rises over the horizon.

In the morning breeze, on the grass that rose and fell at that time, the two-headed ogre trotted away with a big stick.

The herdsmen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the ogre was not as terrible as the rumors, and thought that he was going to plague a few cows, but they did not think that he would leave without a sound.

This was the first time Surdak had gained some new insight into the Great Meadow.

He had a bad impression of this great meadow, and thought it was like an endless green sea, and it was the kind of sea full of dead silence.

Now it was much more vivid, and his eyes began to chase the clouds in the distance, perhaps the few flowers on the edge of the sky were flocks of sheep that could not be seen at a glance, and he suddenly had a new definition of richness.

There is no doubt that Warsaw is a plane of abundance.

It is said that there are abundant resources hidden in the 100,000 mountains north of the Gandaur Mountains, and the Bussman family did not expand one step in its heyday, because the Kempato basin is more rich in minerals, and Handanale is a simple pasture in the eyes of the Bussman family, and is surrounded by mountains, bordering Epson County to the south, where most of the fresh meat and dairy products of the province of Evorsen are supplied.

Further north, Surdak also saw a team of adventurers, there were only seven of them, but they carried thirteen Gubolai horses, and the remaining six horses were carrying large and small luggage, but I don't know whether those goods were mostly Warcraft materials, gold and silver goods, or both......

The leader of the group rode his horse and waved at Surdak in the distance.

Surdak didn't intend to communicate with them, just took a casual glance and continued in the direction of the tree farm camp.

It wasn't until he saw the majestic Mount Gandar in the distance that Surdak found that the great meadow was coming to an end, but he couldn't figure out the specific direction of the forest camp, so Surdak took Gulitham to find a higher dirt slope and look into the distance.

But there was a lot of grass in front of him, but there was not a single caravan in sight.

"It may be that we have taken a wrong course, and it would be nice to meet a caravan at this time......," Surdak said with a sigh at the two-headed ogre.

As the commander of the Western Route Army, he couldn't find the location of the forest farm camp in the big meadow, and if this was spread, it was estimated that it would make the nobles of Bena Province laugh for a year.

Looking at the parchment map in his hand, Surdak decided to go further north.

In fact, it was precisely because he didn't see a caravan along the way that Surdak realized that something was wrong, after all, there was a free market opposite the forest camp, and many infantry soldiers in the Western Route Army had black devil skins in their hands, even if there were no black devil skins, then they were not short of money, and after nearly two months of long travel, seeing the free market opposite the camp, there must be a wave of revenge consumption.

This means that there will be caravans coming and going between the forest camp and the city of Handanar.

But along the way, Surdak didn't even see the tail of the caravan, not even half of the rut marks.

The two-headed ogre stood beside Surdak, he didn't care where the camp was, he would always find it if he walked along the foot of the mountain, it was nothing more than an extra walk.

He stood on a mound with a wide view, almost as far as the eye could see, a depression with puddles, or the occasional lone tree growing on a meadow.

This is not to say that Gulitham wants to find water in a puddle and shade under a lonely tree, his eyes are on whether there is prey nearby.

Unfortunately, the further north you go, the fewer animals you see along the way.

Two days ago, small herds of antelope could be seen hiding in the grass, but now it seems that not even a single rabbit can be found.

Gulitham touched the scones in his satchel and licked his lips, he wanted to tell Surdak that he should have a barbecue tonight.

This is a large meadow near the Kandar Ear Mountains, and in the distance there is a touch of color on the tip of the mountain.

The grass under his feet grew almost as high as his chest, but here he couldn't even see a hare.

Just as Surdak looked at the watery depression two miles away, the ogre's gaze fell on that place.

The two looked at each other very tacitly, and there was a kind of excitement in the eyes of a hunter discovering his prey.

Surdak did not ride his horse, and Gullitham leaned down, and the two of them crouched in chest-high grass and groped in the direction of the puddle.

"Did you see that?" The good brother Brain Flower asked Surdak in front of him with some suspicion.

Surdak said calmly: "No, I just feel that there is something hidden in the grass in the puddle." ”

While brewing a magic spell, Brain Flower whispered, "Then go and see ......"

……

In the grass lurked a green-faced, fanged demon with dark bony armor and half of his body hidden in the wet muddy water, surrounded by tall reeds.

He had been hiding near this puddle for nearly a day and a night, just to catch a few prey that had come to drink water.

Now the prey in the grass is getting harder and harder to catch, in fact, he wants to go inside again.

It's just that once you walk into this vast meadow, you will become the most eye-catching target.

He didn't know how many human adventure groups were hidden in the great meadow to the south, but he did know that there were many hunters who walked in and never came out.

Of course, there are evil spirits who come out with their prey on their backs, but in the depths of the meadow, they can't find trees, so they can't make bacon, and once the prey dies for a few days and can't be disposed of in time, the meat will become stinky, in fact, evil spirits don't like to eat rotten food.

He expected that the legion's higher-ups would agree to send a demon hunting group into the meadow, so that they could defeat the adventurers with a numerical advantage and transport the prey out of the meadow in time, but once the hunting group's target was too large, it would be pursued by the heavy cavalry stationed in the forest camp.

In this great meadow, as long as the heavy cavalry of the empire is lined up in a charging formation, it will become formidable......

He lay his body in the wet muddy water, and even his face was stained with some rotten stinky mud, so as to hide the smell of his body, otherwise the prey would not dare to approach the puddle.

Several black beetles crawled between his arms, burrowing into the cracks of the skeleton, and he quickly moved, rolling the small beetles into a pulp.

His patience became less and less, and after waiting for more than a day, he didn't even see a shadow, and he didn't know what he had gained from hunting his companions nearby.

Suddenly, the grass on the other side of the puddle showed signs of stirring, and it was definitely not blown by the wind.

Just on the opposite side of the puddle showed a head, followed by another head, almost next to each other, the two heads were so large that their faces were even painted black. The totem pattern is only ten meters away from the blue-faced demon.

This is a distance that only needs to be two steps away for a three-meter-tall green-faced demon......

Seeing the strong body poking out of the grass little by little, the bronze bell-like eyes kept scanning around, and the upper body was actually wearing black heavy armor.

The blue-faced demon who was about to run out suddenly suffocated, and he hesitated at this moment, just because the target on the opposite side was actually stronger than him.

It's just that his arm flicked the reeds and grass on the side, and the prey on the other side of the puddle had obviously noticed him, and just when his eyes fell on him, the green-faced demon's whole body tensed, and the fist sword in his hand came out of the muddy water, and the tip of the sword swept through the grass, and immediately cut a clump of grass.

And like a cheetah, he scurried out of the grass and scrambled over puddles.

……

Even if Gulit is a cat, it is difficult for him to completely hide in the grass.

He was too tall, and his belly was more like a round rock.

He and Surdak touched the puddle together, and the moment he cleared the grass, he saw the grass on the other side of the puddle swaying violently, and a green-faced and fanged demon was hiding in the reeds, and the horns on either side of his forehead were almost half a foot long, and the terrifying grimace shot out a devouring gaze.

Then, before Gullitham could react, he saw the blue-faced demon draw his fist sword from the muddy water and reflect a dazzling light.

The good brother Brain Flower applied the 'Petrified Skin' buff magic to himself almost in the next second, and he recited the spell more fluently than he spoke Imperial Chinese.

Then there's the 'Ice Armor'......

Gulitham felt the 'aura of enthusiasm' appear under his feet, and a wave of power poured into his body along his legs, and at the same time, a strong battle intent erupted from his body.

At this time, the evil spirit on the opposite side had already pounced.

……

The blue-faced demon stepped over the puddle of mud in front of him and stabbed the sword in his hand towards the ogre with all his might.

It's just that he didn't expect that the big man in front of him didn't have any intention of dodging, the ogre actually stood up straight from the grass, with a layer of ice armor hanging on his body, and he waved a big stick with both hands, and also smashed down on the top of the blue-faced demon's head.

In the face of the fist sword stabbed by the demon, the ogre was not ready to dodge.

The blue-faced demon was so angry that he didn't want to dodge the big stick that fell from his head, and stabbed his fist sword towards the ogre's chest.

At this time, whoever instigates is destined to be beaten passively.

He knew that if he flinched, he would most likely be smashed into a puddle of mud by the big man on the other side.

At the moment when the blue-faced demon's fist sword was completely stabbed out, and his body rose into the air.

A shield held up by holy light appeared in front of him, and although the shield was wrapped in holy light, the surface of the shield was clearly the face of a demon general.

The blue-faced demon shuddered uncontrollably because of the face that made him tremble, and his fist sword stabbed into the demon's shield.

The fist sword that was supposed to pierce the shield only pierced the tip of the sword a little.

The Constructed Warrior standing behind the shield resisted his onslaught, and just to the bottom left of the shield, a broadsword poked out and plunged into the gap between the knees of his right leg, and purple blood gushed out......

The demon only felt that the tendon connecting the kneecap had been severed, and the leg was completely powerless, and the body fell uncontrollably to the left side under the severe pain.

And Gullith's powerful stick smashed down from above, and instantly landed on the shoulder and neck of the blue-faced demon.

The exoskeleton from the shoulder and neck can be said to be the thickest part of the blue-faced demon bone armor.

But the moment that great force penetrated, the outer bone of his shoulder blades began to crack, and a stream of blood spurted out, and the blue-faced demon fell fiercely into the grass next to the puddle.

Surdak took two steps, stepped on the back of the green-faced demon, held the long horn on his left side with one hand, and forcibly lifted the demon's head, the broadsword in his hand burst out with a layer of rich holy light, and cut it against the gap between the neck and the outer armor of the skeleton, and the head of the green-faced demon was cut off at once and carried it in Surdak's hand.

The bones wrapped in countless muscles in the neck, and a streak of blood gushed out several meters away, making the entire puddle purple-red.

From the outbreak to the end of the battle here, there was only a few breaths of time.

Before Surdak could throw the head of the blue-faced demon into the sealing box, he saw several evil spirits emerging from the grass not too far from the puddle.

Without even thinking about it, Brain Flower threw a fireball at the nearest demon, and the fireball exploded in the face of the demon warrior, and the big stick in the two-headed ogre's hand immediately smashed into it.

The two-headed ogre suffered from the evil spirits by the Samosto River, so this time he used all his strength as soon as he made his move.

The demon was forced back by the fireball, and he held a short spear in his hand, and saw the two-headed ogre smash it down with a stick, holding the black iron short spear in both hands to block the big stick.

Behind Gullitmu, the phantom of an ogre ancestor suddenly appeared, and the big stick even had the sound of a gas explosion breaking through the air.

smashed it down, and it directly smashed the short flying spear into a dent, and the demon warrior's feet were also deep in the mud.

Surdak dragged the shield in his hand and slammed it into the demon warrior.

In the midst of a dizziness of the demon warrior, Surdak threw a strange spell in his throat, and the words of runes cracked down with the broadsword......

'Saint Ray'

A thunderbolt of holy light fell from the top of his head, and countless silver runes appeared from the exoskeleton of the demon warrior, and then he fell into the puddle.

Immediately after that, the two demon warriors behind were also cut down by Surdak and Gullitmu......

In fact, after the little flag leader of the blue-faced evil ghost was killed, this evil ghost team was not the opponent of the two second-turn powerhouses at all.

The battle is completely crushing in strength.

Seeing that their companions had been killed one by one, the two remaining demon warriors immediately turned around and ran towards Mount Candarur.

Where would Surdak let go of the fat that was brought to his mouth, and when the whistle sounded, a demonic warhorse waded through the dense grass and galloped behind him.
