"What is this?"

"Ahh ”

"Be careful, these monsters have a lot of strength!"

......

After abandoning the use of weapons, with the height of the desert kobold, he can attack the thighs of the camel man at most with his sharp teeth alone.

Humpmen with logging axes can easily chop their heads, and if it weren't for the all-round protection of the maniac's armor, several desert kobolds would have been "hammered off" on the spot when they first attacked.

In view of their own inferiority, these warriors of the Dragon Clan quickly gave up their way of attacking with their bodies straight, and decisively crouched on the ground, taking advantage of their agility and the strength bonus of the fanatic's armor to target their opponents' toes and ankles.

It didn't take long for the camel lumberjacks to appear with several heel wounded. Judged by the situation, they wisely chose to retreat, and even left all the Splithoof Oxen behind to attract the attention of the Desert Kobolds.

"Team One, Team Two, stop the attack, and capture those Split-Hoofed Oxen," Blatch immediately ordered, hiding in the canopy, "Team Three, cover their bodies and tails, be careful not to be exposed, and see where these camels can take us." ”

Using the sound spell, the voice of the desert elves clearly lingered in the ears of every member of the vanguard team, but the camels who fled in a hurry could not hear even a word, they only hoped to retreat as soon as possible and escape for their lives.

With the exception of the third squad in charge, the rest of the Dragon's Clan warriors all stopped their pursuit and began to pretend to hunt down the Split-Hoofed Ox, which was obviously easier to deal with than the Hunchman with a weapon.

"Those damned monsters," resented a camel lumberjack holding his co-workers, "they're killing the Split-Hoofed Ox, and we're going to have to go back and report to Lord Berber and have him burn those guys to death with the flames." ”

Originally, in this dense forest, or within the scope of the camel empire, the camel people were a race at the top of the food chain.

But who knew that such a monster suddenly appeared, fierce and agile with sharp teeth and claws, and dared to attack an entire team of camel lumberjacks, and at the same time won and drove away the opponent.

This is really – absolutely unforgivable, whether for the sake of racial honor or for the benefit of the Great Lumberyard.

The camel lumberjacks were very united in their belief at this time, that is, they should move in as soon as possible to rescue the soldiers.

They believed that even if a monster had sharp teeth and claws and was swift as the wind, it would still be vulnerable to the stubborn camel warriors, not to mention that Lord Berber was also a shaman capable of using elemental spells.

But what the lumberjacks didn't know was that not far behind them, danger was tracking them.

After receiving Bradch's order, several desert kobolds who were adept at stalking their prey were attached to the group of camels. Although they are not familiar with the roads in the dense forest, with their keen sense of smell, they are safe to lose even if they are far away.

And as they marched, the desert kobolds of the third team would occasionally carve clan-specific markings on the trunks of trees to point the way for those who were left behind.

After about an hourglass, the trailing desert kobold stopped—the camel lumberjack stepped out of the forest and into a walled enclosure made of logs.

Soon after they entered, the gates of the camp were quickly closed, and many heavily armed camel warriors ascended to the high platform behind the wall, their eyes blazing and their faces gloomy in the direction of the forest, as if they were wary of the strange monsters that were lurking in them and were about to appear at any moment.

The camp is a typical "Jamach", which means "village" or "village" in the camel language, and most of the camel people who live here are related to each other and belong to a Bactrian aristocratic family.

As lumbermill workers, the inhabitants of the area were dromedary, and the only Bactrian was Berber Twin Peaks, the administrator of the Jamah and the commander of the nobles' private army.

After reporting the sudden attack by the monsters, several uninjured camel lumberjacks were immediately taken to their Berber dwellings.

As an elemental shaman, and a Bactrian nobleman himself, the Berber lived in rooms much more "elegant" than those of other camels.

Small wooden cabinets and work tables were arranged in order throughout the room, and the stove hung on a triangular iron frame by the wall. The two iron rings on the wall were set with torches, and on the wall was a double-open bookcase with many leather scrolls and clay plates filled with writing.

The owner of the room sat cross-legged on the ground, and at his side lay a long, narrow table with a blue blanket. There was a clay tablet on the table, and Berber was now using a knife to modify the totem pole in his hand while comparing the contents of the inscription.

"What monsters have you encountered?" Berber asked, looking up after changing the last ornament for the totem pole.

Several camel lumberjacks waiting at the door hurriedly bowed and saluted before the eldest of them was selected to answer the elemental shaman's question, "Back to Lord Berber, those monsters are very strange, we have never encountered them in the forest when we were logging before. ”

"A monster you've never seen before?" Berber said, with a puzzled look on his face, "I've heard from your attendants that some of you are wounded—but not fatal—and the wounds are located in the ankles or calves. ”

The camel lumberjacks nodded desperately, "My lord, those monsters are small in stature, they can walk upright on their hind legs, they can also lie on the ground on all fours, and they are agile and powerful. ”

As they spoke, they handed over a logging axe with a broken handle, and the jagged section still had the imprint of blocking the gnawing of the desert kobolds.

Just by looking at it, Berber concluded that the lumberjacks in front of him were right.

The spacing between these teeth marks is not large, indicating that the attacker's mouth was narrow and his body size was not estimated. However, the incision is very smooth, and the wooden handle is almost bitten off, which indicates that the bite force is amazing, and from a certain point of view, it does confirm the saying that "great strength".

"My lord," an attendant walked in briskly, "the warriors formed a patrol and had just searched the dense forest around Jamah for a moment and noticed some strange footprints on the ground. ”

"How many?" Berber quickly asked.

If there are too many monsters that appear suddenly, it is likely to be related to the benthic motray. In that case, the matter becomes very troublesome and the level of danger increases.

The attendant had been prepared, and after listening to Berber's question, he immediately replied: "The number of footprints is not very large, and judging from the shape, there should be no webbed membrane between the toes, which looks very much like a lizard." ”

Berber nodded, if it weren't for the monster under the command of the benthic demon fish, then he was sure that it would be wiped out as soon as possible and the normal operation of this place supported by the logging industry Jamaher would be restored.

He quickly ordered: "Inform the patrol team to assemble at the gate, organize the young men in the walled city to join, and prepare to pull the net to search." I'll be there then, trying to clear the jungle of monsters before sunset. ”

Then the Berber said to the camel lumberjacks, "Those monsters know how to track you, and they must have some intelligence. He paused, "But just because you're able to get out of it means they're not very powerful." So we're going to track them back in reverse and catch them off guard...... You will lead the way. ”

After a few humpedaries nodded in agreement, they retreated together. Some of them went home and brought the leather armor of their ancestors to wear, while others went to the coppersmith's shop and borrowed grinding stones to sharpen the logging axes.

After they left, Berber Twin Peaks quickly came up with a number of totem poles with different functions.

Although he has also passed the enlightenment and is an elemental shaman, he can't compare to the masters, so in order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, Berber specially carries a totem pole to amplify his spells.

"You guys carry totem poles and follow me," Berber admonished several apprentices who were serving as squires, as he told several of his apprentices who were acolytes, "be vigilant before the battle, and remain calm during the battle......

With the arrival of Jamaher's top administrator, the noisy patrol assembled in front of the camp soon fell silent.

As a Bactrian hump, Berber was naturally much taller than his Dromedary compatriots, so he stood out from the crowd among the latter, "In groups of ten, each group must have at least two warriors, and search horizontally through the dense forest, and do not miss a trace!"

As soon as he gave the order, groups of camels with weapons set off and walked into the depths of the forest in an orderly manner.

Berber took a totem pole from his apprentice and opened his mouth to chant a spell calling on the elements. After a few breaths or so, the hem of his burqa moved without the wind - the air elemental had answered the shaman's call and was interacting with his elemental spirit.

"Swift wind, swift wind," Berber whispered in the language of the "spirit", "please hear my request, go through the woods, and help me ......"

Communicate with the elements, and unless they are the master shaman they love, the elemental spirits who can simultaneously translate their own words to the elements, any elemental shaman must whisper softly and slowly, as Berber does.

After completing the summoning of the Qi elemental, he still handed the totem pole to the apprentice for safekeeping, and he himself picked up a bronze short spear with a blade covered in steel, and walked into the dense forest after the Jamach patrol.

Thanks to the use of totem poles, Berber kept in touch with the Qi elemental he had summoned, and the latter became his eyes and ears, turning into a blast wind and shuttling through the dense forest, searching for the tracks of the desert kobolds.

"There it is!"

The elemental spirit in the depths of the soul received the information of the qi element and immediately sent a reminder to Berber, who immediately reacted and prepared to issue an order with the attendants around him to gather and gather the patrol.

But at this time, a sudden change occurred.
