Chapter Twenty-Three: Haslath (Ask for Recommendations)
The night in the forest seemed to come earlier than usual, the sun was faintly gone, the forest was already dark, and after a while there was no road in sight, Bird and the others just gave up the idea of continuing to hurry, lit a bonfire and sat down to rest.
"Captain Pablo, this seems to be a bit off the beaten path," Mandel, the robed wizard, said to Pablo, taking advantage of the firelight, and glancing at the slate in his hand a few more times. For ever since the old hunter was gone, it had been Pablo who had led the way in the forest.
Babloh didn't look at Mandel, just stared at the campfire and said, "This road is safer, although it looks a little far, but it will go relatively fast."
The bonfire was blazing, and the sparks were constantly floating everywhere, and Mandel saw that Pablo was watching the bonfire intently, stirring up the fire, and the sizzling barbecue on the bonfire made Mandel suddenly feel a little hungry, so he no longer dwelled on Pabloh's problem, but was ready to have a dinner and rest early to prepare for tomorrow's trip.
In order to prevent the beasts from attacking at night, the bonfire burned very large, and the other dozen or so emperor ** members took turns to be on duty at night, so it should be safe and worry-free. I don't know if it was too quiet in the forest or because the snoring was a little loud, and the ups and downs made it difficult for Bird to sleep, and Bird was a little difficult to sleep.
He heard a small sound, as if someone was eating, and he could clearly hear some sucking sounds. However, what attracted Bird was Captain Pablo's suddenly tense body, but the snoring did not stop.
Obviously, Bazel, the captain of the emperor's **, also heard the voice, turned around and stood up, walked in the direction where the voice was, and shouted the names of the team members on duty.
Having reached the edge of the campfire, and a step further into the darkness, Bazel stopped, turned around and lit up the team members who were sleeping near the campfire, trying to see if the team members on night duty were asleep.
Just as he turned around and counted the number of people, suddenly a black shadow swooped down from the sky behind him, directly entangled him, but at the critical moment, Bazel shouted "enemy attack", and immediately woke up several people who were sleeping lightly.
The Poet of the Absurd was one of them, and when he raised his hand, a fireball flew in the direction that Bazel shouted, but after Bazel shouted "Enemy attack", he fell into a coma and fell to the ground.
The fireball that flew over did not hurt him, but there was a wail, along with the fireball splash brought by the firelight, everyone saw a white horse-faced monster, of course, the firelight also shone on Bazel who passed out on the ground, and the two sharp-eyed and woke up first Emperor ** members quickly ran in the direction of Bazel, trying to take advantage of the monster being injured by the fireball, to save Bazel.
"Be careful!" Captain Pablo roared angrily at this time, and everyone thought he was talking about the two emperor ** members who went to save Bazel, but they didn't know that they were actually talking about someone else.
When everyone's attention was attracted by the place where the fireball shone, suddenly three black shadows jumped down from the tree, just jumping on those who had just been awakened by the wake up or were about to get up, and directly rolled up several emperor ** members, and then ran towards the tree or the nearby dark jungle.
Only then did everyone realize that the appearance of those monsters, the pure black fluff of the white horse face was about the size of an adult, and the most noticeable thing was the monster's tail, the extremely long tail was full of agility, cyan snake scales, and the monster's tail was a living snake, constantly exhaling a long crimson tongue, helping to observe the enemy behind the monster when it ran.
"Hasras, this is Hasras," Mandel shouted to remind Bird that this was a monster that lived in the jungle and only appeared in the dark night, Hasras, who was good at moving at high speeds and using guò campfires to find prey.
"Watch out for its tail, that's something more deadly!" Mandel roared, accompanied by several other Haslaths jumping from the tree, and the members of the Emperor ** reacted quickly, drawing their long swords and fighting with them.
And Bird also jumped down in front of a Hasrath, Captain Pablo had already prepared, and before Haslas landed, he directly held the giant sword with both hands and stabbed directly at the monster's abdomen, Haslas reacted quickly, and the long snake tail opened its mouth and the purple fangs bit directly at Captain Pablo's hands.
Captain Pablo swung his sword sideways and slashed at Hasrath's long snake tail, Bird reacted quickly at this time, and also drew the long sword in his hand and stabbed it in the direction that Captain Pablo was supposed to stab, Haslath was shocked and wailed, turned around and fell to the ground.
Bird glanced at the robed wizard Mandel and the absurd poet at this time, and the two were helping the emperor ** to deal with the endless stream of Hasrath from the woods, and the spells were flying extremely dazzling, and each spell that flew out was accompanied by a wail.
Haslath in front of him wanted to get up and fight back, Bird and Pablo joined forces, one stabbed the monster in the abdomen, and the other slashed the monster's viper tail, the monster also knew that he was in danger now, and the long claws scratched towards Bird and the two, and the poisonous tongue tail also sprayed venom at the two, but the two still gained something, the giant sword still pierced directly into the monster's abdomen, directly penetrated, and the snake's tail was cut off by Bird's sword, and the snake's head actually flew towards Bird, with vicious fangs.
At this time, Bablo withdrew his giant sword and shot again, directly blocking the snake's head, just when Bird breathed a sigh of relief, a fireball flew towards the two of them, the target seemed to be the two of them, at this time Bird was already defenseless, could it be that the robed wizard Mandel and the absurd poet knew their wizard identity and wanted to kill themselves at this time.
Pablo also raised his greatsword at this time, making a gesture of vigilance. The fireball flew towards their heads, and suddenly there was a wail, and a Haslath rolled straight over their heads like a lit straw, and Bird could feel the heat of the fireball slipping overhead.
It turned out that the other Haslath saw that his partner died at the hands of Bird and the two, and he was unwilling to take revenge on the two while the two were not paying attention, and Bird was also immersed in the joy of joining forces with Captain Pablo to kill Hasras, and did not notice the Haslath above his head at all, but the person who released the fireball noticed.
Directly fired a fireball and saved the two people.
