Chapter 100: The Gnolls
With a "boom", an arrow shot out of a pine tree covered with heavy snow, and the target was the little Lori on the sleigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The arrows sounded like the trumpets of war, and one after another shot out of the pine trees, most of them aimed at the wounded lying on the sleigh.
Elan warned because he sensed the murderous aura, and Fred smelled something, his face changed suddenly, and he loudly reminded the team that there was an enemy.
The enemy who ambushed everyone is very good at seizing the opportunity, and everyone has experienced physical labor not long ago, and the body is in a relatively lax state.
Grabbing the arrows flying from the air and taking them in his hands, Elan shouted again: "It's the Gnoll!
The arrows that Elam held in his hand were made of bone, sharpened and tinged with a hint of cyan, due to the application of Vera aloe vera juice, which has a strong anesthetic effect.
Vera aloe vera is a tall, leafy plant that grows near lakes, streams, and coasts, but only in small numbers.
Elan himself used it a lot, so he immediately recognized Vera aloe vera juice, and the bone arrows and Vera aloe vera juice were often used by gnolls as regular weapons to ambush their prey.
It doesn't have to think about it so much, just by the arrows, the strong smell of jackal feces, everyone immediately knew that the ambush was a jackal.
The quality of the team was evident at this moment, the men of the Black Swan Castle surrounded the wounded, horses and servants in the middle, the perimeter was blocked by sleigh carts loaded with supplies, and the combat-ready guards held their shields and stopped the arrows flying at them one by one.
Fred and Hetty rushed out and stormed the gnoll's ranks.
The people on the side of the Sheriff's Department, Elan, estimated that the guards were not trained in this area, and they quickly panicked and scattered to find a place to hide.
Many of the wounded were shot by the arrows of the jackals, and both those who were hit by the arrows and those who were not hit by the arrows were immediately fallen into the snow without snorting.
Seeing this, Elan scolded secretly: The jackals use the refined Vera aloe vera juice, doesn't it mean that the gnolls have low intelligence?
Because the line was relatively long, not everyone could be protected, and Elan was close to his sleigh cart, and the rain of arrows that fell in front of him was thrown by him with his sword, and all the arrows lost their strength and fell to the ground in all directions.
The attack of the arrow rain is very fierce, if Elan uses a shield, his vision is easily blocked by the shield, in case the arrow is missed and shot behind him, isn't the little Lori dangerous!
Elan could tell from the duration of the rain of arrows that there were quite a few gnolls who had ambushed them this time, and that he had traveled far distances on several occasions when he had gone out to hunt before, and had accidentally encountered them.
Jackals are not easy to mess with, and whoever they fight with is a group beating, and the adult gnolls are not weak, on the contrary, they are very strong, which shows how much pressure the jackals will bring to the opponent.
The gnolls began to attack, and the sound of "whooshing" sounded all over the woods, sounding the same as the howl of a wolf, but the gnolls and wolves were two different creatures.
The snow covering the pine trees kept falling with a "whoosh", and more and more gnolls emerged from under the pine trees.
This group of gnolls came too suddenly, and the first thing Elan had to do was to try his best to resist the previous waves of attacks of the gnolls, so that after the gnolls knew that it was not easy to mess with here, the gnolls would naturally have the idea of retreating.
It was too late to run into the protective circle that Sienia had built, so Elan could only protect the little Lori on the sleigh behind her, and not let a gnolls run past her.
Soon, several of the adult gnolls charging towards the team rushed in front of Elan.
Adult gnolls with gray-green skin, nearly seven and a half feet tall, with the same head as a coyote, and judging from the skull, the gnoll lived like a hyena, with yellow teeth and blood-red eyes, and the eyes that looked at Elan were full of residual heat.
Elan knew exactly what that look meant, and the gnolls ate warm-blooded creatures, and preferred to eat sapient creatures.
Because gnolls prefer to listen to the screams of intelligent creatures, which means that they eat their prey alive, it is precisely because of this that the gnolls will smear the arrows they use with Vera aloe vera juice.
With a bang, a gnoll's stone axe attack slid past Elan's shield, and Elan's shield followed and smashed into the gnoll's face, and the force of the smash was so great that the gnoll's eyes burst out.
At the same time, the gnoll man who was attacking with a stone spear, as soon as the stone spear and Elan's sword came into contact, it followed Elan's movements, and led it to the neck of his companion who was about to attack Elan, and the gnoll who was pierced by the stone spear through the neck, took a step forward, and lay on the snow.
And the spear-wielding gnoll with a bewildered face, the long sword swung by Elan, slashed through his throat, followed by blood immediately sprayed out of the wound, and the spear-wielding gnoll clasped the wound on his neck and fell.
There were four gnolls rushing towards Elam, and the fourth gnoll ran last, and it saw Elan's figure leaping high.
Then Elan knelt on the shoulders of the fourth gnoll, his thighs tightly clasped around the gnoll's neck.
With a "click", Elan strained his waist and spun his body, coming behind the gnoll.
The gnoll's cervical vertebrae snapped at the sound, and its head was pinched by Elan's legs, turning to a position directly behind him.
In the chaotic battle, only a few people noticed the situation on Elan's side, and they were all people who cared about little Lori.
Sinia, Christina, and the two female barbarians were shocked by the fact that Elan had dealt with four adult gnolls in a few breaths.
Especially Sinia, she was just going to run over and take little Lori to her side, but now it seems that she doesn't have to do this, not to mention, she vaguely feels that there is a more dangerous existence among the gnolls, and she must be careful with this.
Xenia wanted to rush into the gnoll team and slash hard, but then the ordinary people on her side would be in danger.
After Elan cleanly eliminated the four gnolls, not only did he not bring fear to the gnolls, but instead made the gnolls who saw this scene become more and more crazy and angry.
Elan didn't want to be besieged by the gnolls, so he decided to send little Lori to a protective circle on Sinia's side.
