Chapter 010: Dungeons & Dragons (5)

The damp smell did not cool the land, on the contrary, the trees easily inserted their thick rhizomes into the mud, sucking in the nutrients of Mother Earth. The dense vegetation covers the land in a thick green cotton coat, making it seem hot and dry all year round.

Hiss!

A stout viper that almost fused into the trunk stared at its prey, its dangerous, cold vertical pupils reflecting the rhizome-eating rodent below.

It moved slowly, crawling nimbly and silently with the help of the trunk of the tree. The dirt covered in it looked like an egg that had been fried until it was golden brown.

Distance, close.

In the cold pupils, a strong greed emerged. The muscles under the skin contract and bulge with a visible tendency to the naked eye.

Syllable!

The sudden sound of branches breaking instantly irritated the mouse, who instantly put down the delicious food in his mouth and rushed into the soft mud like lightning.

The duck flew like this, and the viper was naturally furious, but before it could react, the culprit who made the sound turned into a vague black shadow, ignoring the muddy ground that could not move an inch, and rushed in front of it with a few jumps.

The claws easily cut through the viper's skin, and with a frightened hiss, a bloody mouth bit its triangular head with great determination. Just listening to a scalp-numbing tear, the giant python in a different place fell to the mud, still churning.

The hook-like claws stepped on the prey that he had killed in an instant, and the hunter spat out the snake's head and feasted on the filthy mud.

A lone wetland sickle-clawed dragon, it can be seen that it has been hungry for a long time.

The close relatives of these velociraptors also preferred to live in groups, and a group of sickle-clawed dragons worked together to exist almost at the top of the food chain in this land.

Yes, almost......

Mutter~

Before he could swallow the food in his mouth, the scythesaur suddenly raised its head with a low roar, and glanced around with a wary expression.

Due to the movement just now, except for a dead and dim jungle, only the smell of blood mixed with the smell of dirt and blood remained.

However, the perennial struggle for survival in the wetlands has greatly strengthened its instincts, that strong smell of danger. You can't be wrong, yes......

Shout!

Lightning-fast spears pierced through the flanks of the scythe-clawed dragon with terrifying menace, a burning sting in its chest that sent endless despair to its face. Although it is only a dinosaur, it is also a dragon creature, and with a single blow of the spear, it pierces its own flesh and skin, and the remaining strength can easily tear its lungs. Such terrifying power is possessed only by those creatures who have recently broken into this land.

Knowing that he was powerless to escape, the sickle-clawed dragon's blood surged, and it actually roared angrily and rushed towards the few big men who were screaming and running.

As for the suspense, that doesn't exist.

A few minutes later, the sickle-clawed dragon lay dead in a pool of blood.

However, it is proud that despite this, its sharp claws still left more than a dozen hideous scars on those green skins.

Of course, for orcs, the wound does not exist......

The hunting team laughed at the most injured members while dividing and packing the corpses of the sickle-clawed dragons, and their skillful actions were not affected at all.

Before the smell of blood could dissipate and attract more predators, the hunters had left the devastated land the way they came. Before their laughter had completely died down, a few rats and insects had crept into the blood-soaked mud.

"I swear I'll never come back here when it's all over. Melrose walked out of the shadows with a look of disgust, carrying his mud-stained trouser legs.

Pulling out his right foot, which had lost his boots, the dwarf angrily shouted upwards, "I said you two, how long are you going to hide?"

Pushing aside the bushes, Lanlos looked at Melrose with an apologetic expression, and his little short legs: "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of you because of the rare opportunity." ”

This guy is absolutely sincere!

Clearly catching the evil smile on the corner of the mage's mouth, Melrose was so angry that his teeth itched, but after seeing the elf girl poking her head out from the other side, his expression instantly changed: "No, it doesn't matter, this is not difficult for the great Melrose." ”

Wen Lesa obviously didn't have the heart to pay attention to the gnome's boasting, and looked at the muddy ground crawling with insects and rodents, and undisguised it appeared on her face: "If you don't leave, we'll be lost." ”

"No, it won't. Lanlos smiled lightly, a string of imperceptible esoteric symbols fleeting in his eyes, "Now that I've found them, I can't afford to lose them." ”

With the help of Sagrete's detection ability, Lanlos took the lead in moving forward, and in order to prevent what had just happened again, the dwarf hurriedly moved his calves to follow. As for Wen Leisa, Xiu Li's brow furrowed slightly, and she bent her bow and arrows in one go.

Bang!

The arrows enticed with arcane magic instantly sank into the black and red mud, only to hear a dull popping sound and the roar of arcane energy tearing everything to shreds.

——————————————

The dragon-throated orcs almost made the most of this narrow and rugged mountain road on the cliff, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even the returning hunting team had to be strictly investigated step by step. After impatiently repelling the last guard guard, the hunting party finally arrived at the tattered stone gate.

Thick layers of moss piled up on top of the stone door, completely smoothing out the edges and corners of the sculpture, making it impossible to judge its appearance from the vague outline.

At the doorway, three heavily armed orc warriors were staring solemnly at the approaching hunting team.

"Stop, routine checks. ”

"It's a nuisance. With a grunt of dissatisfaction, the captain of the hunting team complied with the instructions and ordered his companions to lay down the prey that had been haunting with a faint stench of corpses.

The weather in the wetlands has seriously shortened the time it takes for food to stay fresh.

"Alright, let's go inside. After a few minutes, the sentry finally finished its inspection. It can be seen that they have become more and more perfunctory in dealing with impatient orc companions and smelling prey corpses for a long time.

Days of running were finally over, and several orcs cheered and rushed into the stone gate with their prey on their shoulders. After watching them disappear through the stone gate with envious eyes, the orc guards returned to their posts, and continued to count the time silently, waiting boredly for the arrival of their shift mates.

"The sun was so strong. Isn't it, buddy?" the lazy tone suddenly burst into his ears, and the eyes in the gaps in the helmets of the orc guards instantly became cold, but to his confusion, there was nothing but the mountain road covered with gravel and weeds.

"Hey, I'm here. ”

The voice is closer, it seems, from underfoot?

The orc lowered his head blankly, and what caught his eye was a head that was very large compared to his stature. In addition to the ridiculous little smiling face, the wooden cane that was only worthy of being a toothpick for himself made him laugh wildly.

"No one dared to laugh at the great Melrose anywhere. ”

Bang!

The purple glow was fleeting, and the arcane shock roll was wrapped in terrifying force and bombarded the orc's chest. The sturdy body was thrown away and slammed into the stone door. The massive depression in his chest and the constant flow of blood from the gaps in his armor took his life without any suspense.

"Ha, right in the bull's-eye. Blowing on the arcane crystal at the tip of the staff, Melrose glanced aside with obvious smugness. Unfortunately, he still underestimated his companions too much.

Silently, Winresa drew the Wind Blade, the sharp blade piercing the seams of the armor with precision, easily piercing the orc's throat. From stealth to kill, there is no extra time or movement.

Quiet, yet deadly.

This woman is much more powerful than she seems.

Melrose swallowed quietly, a slight thought of flinching uncontrollably, but a helpless smug look appeared on his face at the sight of the other mage's performance.

"Dear Mr. Lanros, I don't mind helping if you need it. ”

Compared to the blood and cruelty of these two, Lanlos's side was much more peaceful. The mage reached out and grabbed the orc's helmet, his fingers clasped through the slit, and pointed at the center of the other's eyebrows. What is amazing is that from the moment they got out of invisibility to the present, the two of them have maintained this action.

Opening his eyes, Lanlos lowered his palm and looked at the dwarf with a little teasing: "Can you say it again?" ”

I said...... !"

The orc, who had been motionless, suddenly fell to one knee in front of Lanloth, and the frenzy of smashing his knee frightened the gnomes.

Smiling lightly, Lanlos didn't explain too much, and nodded towards the orc who suddenly surrendered. Almost instantly, the orc warrior rushed into the stone gate. Not only did the orcs gasp frighteningly loud as they sprinted, but the metal armor that kept colliding echoed through the passage like gongs and drums.

Dominating human beings, although it is a magic system of confusion and control recorded in the book, but because of the various notorious and shady deeds of this spell in the circle, Melrose has really never seen anyone use it so openly.

"You're just going to let him go?" tempered his initial surprise, and Melrose quickly came to his senses.

Different from the casual and relaxed at the beginning, as the sound of the armor staggered faded away, Lanloth's expression became more and more serious: "Melrose, it's up to you here." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll let this guy in and deliver the false news of the Alliance's invasion, and a reorganized force will inevitably come out later, no matter what method is used, I need you to contain their attention, the longer the better. ”

"What? you're putting me in front of an entire orc army?!" Melrose's voice grew sharper with horror and rage.

"Don't think that our task is easy. Lanloth's voice grew deeper, "We're going to face an orc clan, an orc clan with a red dragon. ”

"If we don't find a way to disperse them, we can't go deep into Grimbaatar. ”

"But you're sending me to death!"

"Containment, not fighting, use your smart brains, you will have a way. Counting that the time was almost up, Lanlos nodded at Winlessa, and with a wave of his hand, the two of them disappeared in front of the dwarf at the same time.

"Bastard, you are abandoning, you are betraying!" the annoyed dwarf jumped to his feet, but no matter how much he cursed, the two elves would not appear again.
