Chapter 41: Lucky and Unfortunate Vog
Powerful dragon wings fanned the air currents to blow the dust off the ground, and Terrence landed steadily.
"I remember there's a gnoll stuck here at the entrance to the cave?"
"Where did it go? Ran away? Or did it go down? β
Terrence looked at the fresh claw marks at the entrance of the tree hole, which had been left by the struggle so violently, that the claw marks were as deep and deep as if they had been carved into the dirt around the tree hole.
If the jackal is timid, it will be fine to run, but if it goes down, Terrence is very worried about the situation of the kobold below.
In terms of individual strength, kobolds are very difficult to beat gnolls.
In particular, these gnolls seem to be from the city, similar to mercenary gnolls.
The mercenary jackals who are professional in combat are much more powerful than the gnolls in the ordinary gnoll tribe, and I don't know if the kobolds below can withstand it.
Terrence looked at this hole that was too small for him, and he couldn't go down, and he couldn't help, so he could only do it in a hurry.
Stretching out his mental strength, Terrence tried to see how deep the hole really was.
Go back and call your fish-man to come and have a look.
They can't just do physical training at home, such as cutting trees and fishing, and fighting is necessary to become stronger!
After a while, the spiritual power extending out of the cave seemed to sense a breath of life crawling out.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Confused, Terrence quickly withdrew his mental power, and then sat at the entrance of the cave and waited for the creature that had just crawled out of the hole.
After a while, a gnoll crawled out with difficulty, and I don't know if it was sweat or something else, its hair was sticking together, and it was completely soaked.
Terrence reined in the dragon's tail and his own breath, and blocked the hole with his dragon claws with a stone as the jackal crawled out of the hole!
Before the gnolls could react, they only knew that a dark shadow had just swept past them.
Then, Terrence unleashed his dragon power and aura with all his might.
Terrence didn't use the dragon's roar, but used a means that frightened the gnolls more than the dragon's roar, and used the dragon's claws to easily lift him up who was stunned by the dragon's might.
Terrence grinned widely, the sunlight blocking through the leaves of the forest fell on the dragon's teeth, and the viscous saliva almost made the sunlight almost flash into the gnolls' eyes!
"Whew!"
Terrence exhaled, the smell of the dragon's mouth almost blowing the gnoll man who was being picked up like a chicken by Terrence with his mouth!
"Noble and great dragon!"
"Please stop torturing me......"
After experiencing Terrence's methods, the gnolls were visibly frightened by the yellow fluid that flowed out of their lower bodies.
Then he was disgusted by Terrence and threw it on the ground.
"Shame on you, you're scared to pee?"
With this in mind, Terrence began to inquire about the following situation.
"How many more gnolls are down there?"
"Have you seen a kobold down there?"
"Why did you come up?"
The gnoll was confused by the series of questions, and for a moment he didn't know which one to answer, so he fell silent on the spot.
This was thought by Terrence as proof that he wanted to see death as if he were at home, and a mouthful of dragon breath gathered in his mouth on the spot.
"O great dragon! I don't know which question to answer! And I don't know the answers to many questions! β
"If you don't know the answer, you can die!"
Terrence directly breathed instantly, and the thunder and lightning breath that had just gathered was moderately powerful, and exploded a deep pit directly next to the jackal, and the dirt splashed everywhere and hit him, and the last psychological defense line was also "shattered" by Terrence's breath.
"Great dragon! I say! I'll say everything! β
With the mentality that he wants to live and knows even if he doesn't know, this gnoll confesses everything he knows below.
According to him, the depth of fifty or sixty meters is indeed very deep, and the other is a pool of water under the entrance of this tree hole.
Terrence thought it was a puddle formed by raining rainwater that collects into the hole and flows down.
The pit may have been dug by the kobolds themselves, and the water storage pit was made by using rainwater to facilitate daily water extraction.
In addition to the puddle, there are many tunnels, and the jackal is confused below, and falling into the puddle makes his body feel a little cold, so he wants to climb up and check the situation again, but he didn't expect to run into Terrence again.....
"Why did you choose to go down?"
"Great dragon! Actually, I could faintly hear the wailing of my companions, so I wanted to go down and help......"
"In the end, it didn't help anything, and it came up again? And then you ran into me. β
Taking the words of the gnoll in front of him, Terrence was speechless.
However, his words did reveal another piece of news, the first jackal to go down made a wailing cry for help, which should have suffered a loss, so this obviously shows that the kobold inside still has a few brushes!
After all, this is the tunnel he dug out, and he is the owner of the tunnel, and if he can't deal with a single gnoll if he occupies the territory, Terrence will reconsider whether to include him under his command.
Terrence pondered for a moment, which also gave the terrified gnolls on the ground some respite.
When Terrence finished thinking and turned around, the gnoll knew that he might be finishing his calf today, and fell to his knees and begged Terrence not to kill him.
"Now, stupid gnolls give part of your soul and surrender to me! I am your new master! β
"My name! Terrance! β
Terrence plans to take this gnolll and take a picture of it, maybe he can use his identity as a jackal, and then sneak up on the first jackal who goes into the pit to fight the kobold he is about to fight.
"I, Vog, am willing to give my life and everything to surrender to you!"
"Great True Dragon! My lord, Lord Terrence! β
After Vogg the Gnoll swore "willingly", Terrence watched with satisfaction at the fragments of his soul floating out of his body, and then opened his mouth to swallow it.
The slave pact was established, and as with the fishmen and goblins, Terrence finally added one more of his dependents.
"Very well, Vog, go down and find them now!"
"Remember, when you see the kobold, you say that you are a dependent sent by me."
"When you see your former companion, bring him out of the cave for me!"
Terrence clearly gave his orders to Vog the Gnoll.
"But ......"
Seeing that Vog was hesitant, Terrence felt that he didn't want to go down.
After all, he had a history of coming up from below without any help, and Terrence inevitably had some doubts about his ability to do things.
"But what!?"
Terrence questioned and quieted Vog's voice.
"But how do you convince kobolds that I'm your dependent?"
"My fellow gnolls may have fought against him, and if I were him, I would have had a hard time trusting another gnoll, and calling himself a dependant of you, Lord Terrence."
Terrence: "... β
Hearing this, Terrence shook his body, picked out the smallest dragon scale, and then plucked it and handed it to Vogg.
"Dragon scales, this is the proof."
"Alright, let me go down!"
Although Vog pointed out the negligence in his words just now, it is undeniable that this somewhat timid gnolla in front of him does have his unique and naΓ―ve observation ability.
Terrence was not angry, nor would he be angry about it, on the contrary, he felt that the gnoll in front of him might be able to be cultivated in addition to being a little unlucky and timid and fearful?
