Chapter 35: The Gnoll Tribe
On the first day of the march, there was nothing to say.
There are no alien settlements near the Mentor's Castle, only a few wild beasts, and the occasional ferocious beast.
Most of the beasts are small creatures such as foxes, deer, monkeys, and squirrels in the forest, and although they have become fierce under the influence of the chaotic qi, they are placed here in size and have limited threats.
Ferocious beasts are predatory beasts such as wolves, wild boars, black bears, and leopards, which are larger and more aggressive after becoming ferocious.
Although these ferocious beasts are ferocious and murderous, most of them have instincts, and it is impossible to see a large army rushing forward to seek death.
But since it's the majority, it means that there are still a small number of brainless people.
It's just that I didn't meet these brainless ones on the first day, and the journey was quite quiet.
After marching for about five hours, Li Qing estimated that he had left the Mentor's Castle for about fifteen kilometers, and said to the dragon guard on the side:
"Let's get ready to set up camp!"
Long Shou took out a small horn and puffed out his cheeks and blew violently, and the crisp sound of the horn spread.
An Yiqiu, who was only about 100 meters away from the Chinese army, heard the sound of the horn and immediately ordered the troops to stop.
Four or five minutes later, the Chinese army and the forward converged, and Li Qing stretched out his hand and waved:
"Prepare to set up camp!"
An Yishou immediately ordered the ten men in the forward to be divided into two parts, one left and one right, and the dragon guard commanded the Chinese army to start clearing the nearby weeds.
Li Qing took out a section of wooden fence from the space in the palm of his hand in the shock of the three Xie brothers, and asked his subordinates to move to the edge and arrange it in a large circle.
The shelf was already ready, and there was a sharp wooden stake under the center, and after taking it out, the pointed wooden stakes were smashed into the dirt with a sledgehammer, so that the supports on both sides were also inserted into the soil, and a simple camp fence was built.
The army will definitely not be able to stop it, but it can block the beasts and buffer the camp troops to prepare for defense.
"Your Excellency Li Qing, you are ....."
Li Qing replied casually:
"As you can see, it's a spatial artifact that can be decorated."
"It's so convenient, isn't it?"
Xie Zhu sighed.
Although there is a god domain that can carry his subordinates with him, it is troublesome to open and close the door of the god domain, not to say that it is open and open, and there is a certain buffer for opening and closing the god domain once, and it cannot be opened and closed frequently in a short period of time.
And more importantly, it is safe, the Divine Domain is opened, and the enemy can also rush into the Divine Domain to destroy.
Therefore, if you are facing a dangerous enemy, you can't rashly open the Divine Domain at this time.
At this time, the advantages of space relics such as lightness and convenience are highlighted.
After the fence was nailed and the troops were in place, Li Qingcai summoned the gate of the Divine Domain, and one by one the people walked out of the gate of the Divine Domain with tables and chairs, followed by a group of people carrying the rice and vegetables that had been cooked.
Others need to bury the pot to make food when they set up camp, Li Qing only needs to let the subordinates in the divine domain cook the food first, and then directly carry the food out to eat after setting up camp.
There are even tables and stools.
When the three Xie brothers saw this scene, they thought that they needed twice as fast logistics as less than ten soldiers, and they were very envious when they went out to experience the front and tail, and they also had to protect the logistics materials.
After eating, resting for a while, all the tables and chairs were moved back, Li Qing pulled out the fence again and put it into the space in his palm, and the troops continued to set off.
Nothing was left in place except for a few food scraps and messy footprints.
"Roar!"
A swarthy, muscular body with smooth skin like a lion, a four-meter-long ferocious beast suddenly rushed out from behind a black bush and threw a senior infantry company with a shield to the ground.
"Bang!"
The thick wooden shield pressed the chest of the senior infantryman, and the sharp sharp fingers pressed directly into the wooden shield, and the fierce beast opened its big mouth to reveal its sharp fangs and bit the infantry's neck.
At the critical moment, An Yiqiu, who had the fastest reaction, directly started the hero skill charge, and the whole person was wrapped in an invisible wind, like a galloping carriage crashing into the shoulder of the ferocious beast at a super speed.
There was only a dull crashing sound, and the four-meter-long ferocious beast was knocked crooked and bitten into the air.
At the same time, the other infantrymen who had reacted approached in a long snake formation, and the two nearest infantrymen had raised their shields and slashed down.
The fierce beast's sturdy body twisted to avoid two knives, and the other claw pressed towards the senior infantryman, and the sharp claws were directly inserted into the armor ring of the chain mail, pulling the soldier up, and dragging the soldier back two meters in a leap, opening his mouth to bite the infantryman's shoulder, and biting his fangs into the lock ring to lock the retreat.
An Erqiu roared angrily, and an invisible wave exploded.
Heroic Skill - Shock Roar, the warrior roars with anger, shocks the surrounding enemies, and is terrified if the will is not strong enough.
After transforming into a hero skill, the skill priority has been strengthened once, and then through the enhancement of the hero's specialty, the shock priority of this skill is very high, even this kind of powerful and ferocious beast cannot be exempted, and he was stunned on the spot.
Anerqiu and the surrounding infantry immediately swarmed up, preparing to leave him behind.
But at this moment, there was a sudden roar in their ears, and in the next second, they only felt a streamer flying from a distance, and then the entire body of the violent beast that was shocked fell back violently, and then let out a terrible scream, jumping several meters high.
When I looked closely, a finger-thick steel arrow was inserted between the shoulders and chests of the ferocious beast.
The power of this arrow was very powerful, and it shot directly into the shoulder and chest of the fierce beast, revealing only the arrow feathers less than five centimeters long.
Li Qing looked at Xie Zhu who put down the arrow on the side in surprise, and raised a big finger:
"Awesome!"
Xie Zhu smiled and didn't speak, but directly shared his attribute panel.
Hero Skill: Charge a blow, charge for 1-5 seconds, +50% extra power per second of charge, up to 250% extra damage, depending on the weapon and the enemy's rank and defense, there is a certain chance to trigger penetration, armor piercing, and critical hits.
Tier 1 Hero Feat: +10% bonus power per second charged.
Tier 2 Hero Feat: +20% bonus power per second charged.
Hero Skills: Sniper (Rare), Passive Skill, 100% Range Increase.
After reading the attribute panel, Li Qing was surprised:
"Fierce!"
There is nothing else to say, the combination of these two hero skills can only be said to be fierce, and the explosive force after five seconds of charging is simply an explosion, which can be called a boss killer.
Xie Zhu focused the two advanced hero specialties on increasing the power of the charged strike, and according to the rank increase mechanism, if the hero specialty points that were later promoted to the third, fourth, and fifth orders were still the same on the charged strike, the power of this move would reach the perverted level.
It's worth mentioning that not all ranged heroes can go this route.
There are four sources of Manifest Destiny heroes like them to choose from in their Hero Skills.
One is that the ordinary skills learned by themselves are transformed into hero skills, and the vast majority of heroes are this one.
One is related to one's own bloodline, and if you don't awaken your bloodline, you naturally have no choice.
One is related to his own experience, and occasionally when choosing hero skills, he will brush out some hero skills related to recent behavior, such as Xie Zhu's second passive skill sniper, which can't be learned, only if he meets the conditions of a certain experience, plus the luck comparable to the European Emperor.
The other is to inherit the skills of heroes.
As we all know, there are two kinds of heroes, one is normal heroes, and all hero skills are on their own.
The other is called inheritance heroes, which have a complete set of powerful hero skills inherited with the profession, and there are no weak inheritance heroes, at least four or five stars.
The hero skill of Charged Strike is not difficult to brush, and more than fifty percent of the heroes of the archer route can be brushed.
The second Sniper passive hero skill is rare.
Stacking a charged hit with the Sniper's 100% bonus range is what makes this great.
And the rare passive of the sniper can also be strengthened with the hero specialty, and if it is strengthened once or twice in the future, the range will be increased to two or three times, then it will be a real sniper.
With a good bow, you can snipe someone's head at a distance of one or two kilometers, that's the real outrageous.
Xie Zhu's charged blow directly shot this ferocious beast, and when Li Qing rushed over, An Yiqiu had already suppressed it with his subordinates.
It took a closer look to feel how fierce this ferocious beast was, and the length of four meters literally didn't feel anything, but as long as you thought about the fact that the second floor was less than three meters, you knew how big this thing was.
Xie Zhu charged a blow and injured its vital point, and at this time it was lying on the ground and convulsing, blood flowing out along the wound.
Li Qing observed from a distance and motioned for An to kill with a knife.
Ferocious beasts don't have to be tamed.
It's not that he can't, it's just that it's too difficult, too time-consuming, and extremely unstable, and he doesn't have that effort.
An Yiqiu charged his strength and slashed at the neck of the ferocious beast, and the blood flew away.
When it was confirmed that he was completely dead, Li Qing used the space in his palm to put away the corpse.
However, it was not directly refined, but first purified the chaotic qi in its flesh and blood, so that the flesh and blood could be eaten normally.
After a brief bandage of the wounded infantryman, the team moved on.
Time passed, and they unconsciously entered the deeper part of the plane fragments, the surrounding trees became denser and more lush, and they encountered more and more unknown creatures, but most of them did not show up after seeing their numbers, only occasionally a few brainless dared to rush in, and all became their trophies.
Li Qing was going to go north first, until he reached the northernmost part of the plane fragment, and was ready to take a look at the super-large plane fragment that the northern mentor said, and then turn right and return.
About fifteen hours after their departure, the procession passed through an extremely dense primeval jungle when suddenly a half-dry river valley appeared before them.
The valley is thirty or forty meters wide, mostly dry gravel, except for a small stream less than a meter deep in the center of the river that meanders into the distance.
As the team entered the valley, they were startled by several unknown black figures drinking water.
A few night crows fluttered their wings over their heads.
"Look, there's a fire there!"
Li Qing followed the direction pointed by An Yiqiu, which was extremely far away on the right side of the river valley, and on the right side of the river valley, that is, on their side, there were several fires of different sizes flickering.
"There are alien tribes here?"
Li Qing immediately came to his senses, thought for a while, and said to Xie Zhu beside him:
"Are you good at field reconnaissance?"
Xie Zhu shook his head and said:
"I'm not good at it, but my brother can do it."
A warrior who had been standing beside him in leather armor and weapons with two short swords stood up and said:
"I take the Min Warrior route, and I usually work as a scout in our squad."
Li Qing looked at him for a moment, nodded and said:
"I'm sorry for you."
"It's a trifle!"
Xie Jin shook the short sword behind his back, turned around and touched the valley.
Li Qing found that after he turned around, his steps became lighter, and at the same time, his figure quickly became blurry and imperceptible under the cover of night, and he guessed that it was some kind of skill to conceal his whereabouts.
However, although the figure was no longer visible, Li Qing's powerful soul made him super perceptive, and he could vaguely detect a figure in the darkness ahead.
"I still have to have a professional scouting hero!"
Although Xie Jin's concealment ability is strong, he can't hide a powerful existence with a higher rank than him.
However, if the concealment skill can be converted into a hero skill, the effect will be greatly enhanced, even if the existence of the two levels is high, it is difficult to detect, if it is some people who do not have high perception, it may not be perceptible to the third or fourth order.
However, this is a plan for the future, and Xie Jin's ability is completely sufficient at this stage.
After resting on the spot for almost half an hour, at a certain moment Li Qing suddenly felt something and turned his head to look in a certain direction, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and a cloud of white light condensed more than twenty meters away from him, slowly rising to illuminate the surroundings, and also illuminated the distorted silhouette of a humanoid figure in the darkness.
The figure that was slowly approaching paused, and the blur on his body disappeared, it was Xie Jin.
He asked in surprise:
"Your Excellency Li Qing, can you sense me so far away?"
Li Qing shook his head:
"I didn't perceive you, but suddenly on a whim, I felt as if something was over there, so I shone it with light."
Xie Jin exclaimed:
"It's better than it feels."
"Really....."
He waved his hand and did not delve into the question, but asked:
"Did you find anything when you just went there?"
Xie Jin took the kettle handed by his brother Xie Heng and took a sip, wiped his mouth and said:
"There is indeed a seemingly large alien community over there, it is the forest jackals, and there are some kobold servants, the scale is still quite large, I turned around and found that there are fifty or sixty large tents that can accommodate more than a dozen people, and there are more than a dozen larger wooden houses in it, and there is a stone hall in the innermost, which should be where the leader lives."
"So much?"
Li Qing pinched his chin and pondered.
According to Xie Jin's reconnaissance, if it is full, the number of jackals and kobolds will be hundreds or thousands.
This is even more powerful than the more than 4,000 skeletons that challenged the fifth level before.
The skeletons are all zero-order, and there are definitely a lot of first- and second-order among these gnolls and kobolds, and there are definitely wild monster heroes, and the frontal wild victory is not big.
But it's not a big problem, I can't hit it head-on!
Thinking of this, Li Qing took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to Xie Jin:
"Here, map the terrain around the gnolls."
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment:
"The terrain around? What about inside? ”
"Yes, the surrounding terrain, the more detailed the better, don't worry about the inside."
"Uh, okay."
Although he was a little confused, he still picked up the pen and began to draw.
