Gnolls are evil humanoids with coyote heads, dirty yellow or reddish brown fur, and an insatiable thirst for blood.

While they look similar to tigermen like Chen or fox demons like Lebet, gnolls don't belong to the orc race.

Born from the demonic power of the demon lord Yenogu, they are monsters transformed from hyenas, with the filthy blood of the lower realms flowing through them, and are enemies of all civilizations.

"The Gnolls embody Yenogu's dark impulses, whose only vision is to turn the world into ruins, driven only by destruction, bloodlust, corruption, and slaughter."

As an astral species, Jerry is quite aware of this pure destroyer that exists in every world.

When the adventurer and Chen Zhou caught up with the caravan, they unexpectedly found that they had already reached the end of the road.

Gnolls don't leave anything alive or anything to eat.

As a result, they were greeted with blood, wagon wreckage, broken blades, and scattered goods.

and nearly 100 gnolls, hyenas, and magical beasts called "Wolves" that mutate after the tide of magic are lurking here.

"OMG!"

Gaita turned around and ran in an instant!

This number of gnoll legions is no longer on the scale that a few adventurers can deal with!

However, it is useless to escape against the formed legions of gnolls, most of whom have spears, flails, and longbows in their hands.

Arrows rained down.

Stein raised his shield and shouted, "Lebet! ”

In the face of a rain of arrows that will shoot everyone into hedgehogs in the next second, only the caster can win a glimmer of life!

The fox demon didn't speak, and the moment he realized that the gnolls were ambushed, he had already begun to cast spells.

As a Nine-Tails, he is not as capable of serving as a turret as a regular warlock, but his talent in illusion and enchantment cannot be matched by even the most gifted mages.

The shadows converge in the hands of Lebet, turning into a bridge between the shadow realm and the physical plane.

As he smeared through the air, a black band of light formed around them.

"This is the 2-ring magic shadow path of the illusion school, which will connect the shadow plane to a certain extent, and those black light bands are the barrier between illusion and reality, and the degree of strength is a fight with the force wall technique!"

However, since these barriers had to be fully manifested, the black bands of light that were connected into a ring also sealed the way for everyone to retreat.

Including Gaita, who just ran away.

"My shadow path will only last a minute, and you must be prepared to flee during this time."

Anyway, Lebet, who is a spellcaster, will definitely be able to escape, and he can also piggyback his employer by the way, but the other three will die without trying to find a way.

But without even thinking about it, you can know that the gnolls must have surrounded them, waiting for the spell effect to end.

As long as blood is in front of them, they are tireless and do not fear the caster.

"Is Gajilan so messy?" Seeing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but be curious, "You can even meet the Gnoll Legion even if you rush to the road?" ”

Stein's face was bitter: "It's not always like this, otherwise a few of us would come over to investigate when we are crazy, and even if there are gnolls, there are only about a dozen." ”

"Isn't it because of taxes and conscriptions, coupled with the tide of magic that hyenas and corruption breed, so many gnolls appeared!"

Gaita, who was blocked from retreating, looked desperate: "Even if I die and become a ghost, I must go to Sheadan Castle to make trouble!" ”

"Then I have to warn you, even if a halfling like you becomes a ghost, it only takes a few magic missiles to destroy." Lebet quipped with a light-hearted face.

The halfling was even more desperate.

Time passed, and the shadow path of the duration of the second soon loomed.

Unlike the somewhat nervous Stein and the flustered Gaita, the half-elf archer adjusted his Starfolk compound bow with a nonchalant face: "Don't tease him, you have the heart to joke, you must have an idea." ”

Lebet smiled knowingly, of course he had a solution.

"The head and tail of the Shadow Path spells must be connected to the solid, but they can bend at will, meaning that they can become an end-to-end ring on their own when twisted."

Hearing the fox demon's statement, Chen quickly thought of the appearance of the Mobius ring.

"What does this have to do with running away?" The halfling was puzzled.

"It means that the shadow path can ignore the limitations of solid support points and exist independently in the air."

The halfling noticed that this was not from the Warlock Lebet, but from the Druizen.

Although the fox demon was a little surprised that this druid had a brain, he continued to explain against the clock: "Next, I will drive the Shadow Path to the sky, and then use a few more times to connect to different directions while we are still in the air. ”

In this way, as long as Lebet casts invisibility on a few more people, the gnolls will not know which direction they are going to run.

Knowing the other party's escape strategy, Gaita immediately clapped his hands.

It's no wonder that spellcasters are highly prized among adventurers, and they are indeed capable of providing a solution to save everything in a desperate situation.

"But why don't you use invisibility on us first?" Stein was still a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'm going to start using the invisibility technique, I won't help you make up for it when the effect is gone, of course, the later you use it, the better."

As he spoke, Lebet was about to cast an invisibility spell on his employer on the spot.

And the latter couldn't help but raise his own doubts: "I also have a question, isn't it just a hundred or so gnolls, why do you want to run?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the adventurer immediately fell silent.

Why run?

Of course, it's because if you don't run, you'll die!

"Are you still planning to fight them?" Gaita turned her head and urged, "Give me the invisibility first, we can't waste any more time." ”

It's only about twenty seconds before the "Shadow Path" loses its effectiveness, and it's too late to make everyone invisible if you don't hurry up.

"I do want to try...... Don't give me invisibility. ”

He felt that he could use the gnolls as a target for his magic.

Seeing this, Lebet no longer persuaded him, and the client couldn't blame others for finding his own death, not to mention that the tiger man might really be able to fight his way out of the encirclement surrounded by jackals.

Therefore, he decisively performed the "Invisible Technique" for the four of them one after another.

With this spell, as long as the recipient does not take the initiative to attack, and the luck is not enough to plug his teeth when he drinks cold water, he can escape safely as planned.

Chen Zhou, who had learned a new spell and planned to try it, calmly recalled the details of the "Prismari Instructions".

At that moment, a faint cry suddenly came from the bottom of the wreckage of the overturned truck, which sounded like a human baby.

Stein frowned, and subconsciously made a decision: "I'll stay with you." ”

Their initial ambush was too hasty, and there might have been people from other caravans surviving!

When the gnolls are weakened, they search for isolated settlements, mutilating their inhabitants and devouring them as they recuperate.

Gnolls: Endless hunger

Gnolls remind the world of the horrors of the Abyssal Tribes, and the pain that even the shortest demonic invasion can inflict on the world.

Every time the demon lord of Yenogu entered the material plane and swept the land, he would leave countless corpses in the world. When the ruthless King of the Gnoll plunders the land, hordes of hyenas will follow him, devouring their prey until the flesh of Jenogu's prey leaves them plump and bloated to immobilize. Then, in the midst of this feast of flesh and blood, the hyena became a gnoll; They accepted the terrible mission given by Yenogu - to kill and destroy anything in their path.

Yenogu endowed its followers with an unquenchable supernatural thirst for brutal destruction and the flesh and blood of intelligent beings. A gnolll will feel a constant thirst for flesh and destruction, and only when it kills and eats sapient creatures does this desire disappear temporarily. Other prey may also provide temporary provisions, but it does not alleviate Yenogu's hunger.
