While everyone was eating, there was a wordless chat, and soon Ba Naogan remembered two more things. He said, "You know so much about monsters, have you ever seen something like a scorpion that is not a scorpion?" and told them about the monster corpse found in Oak Ridge.

Tagore knew what it was as soon as he heard it: "You're talking about Stoga." In ancient times, they were considered to be monsters that had risen from the realm of the dead, of course, this was just the superstition and legend of the ancients, in fact, this kind of monster was the most disgusting. And if you come across these things, it's dangerous. ”

"How?"

Rabindranath Tagore said: "Either these things don't appear, or when they do, they must be tens of thousands of them coming out together." And this guy is not afraid of death, he doesn't know what fear is, like a death squad. Although it is only a second-order demonic beast, the ants bite the elephant to death, and no matter how powerful the demonic beast is, it can be avoided in front of them. It's not once or twice that we've hunted in the Warcraft Forest, but I've only heard that we haven't seen these Stokas, and your companions can only be said to be unfortunate when they encounter these guys. However, if there were no traces of corpses or anything like that, they should have retreated in time. Hey, I can only hope that God will bless them all in safety. ”

Ba Naogan remembered what he saw that day, it was indeed as if it had been cleaned by an army of demonic beasts, and even so many good haode oak trees had been destroyed into broken branches and leaves. After thinking about it, he asked again, "One more thing, do you know the Nightmare Unicorn?"

"Of course the Nightmare Unicorn knows. Gordon said, "Why, you don't have any plans to catch such a unicorn, do you?"

Luo Dao: "What, there is a difficulty?"

“haha。 Gordon laughed, "You want to catch the Nightmare Unicorn." It's as hard as catching a golden scarab. ”

"What do you mean, is it hard?"

Gordon waved his hand and said, "It's not very difficult, it's almost impossible." Let me tell you this, in our industry, there are some magical beasts that are listed as legendary prey that cannot be encountered, such as the golden scarab and the nightmare unicorn. Let me ask you, who of you have seen the Lord of the Sands, Darbands, and who has seen the Ice Phoenix on the Holy Snow Mountain?"

Vane shook his head: "No, these are only heard in legends, and I don't know if there is any." ”

Gordon laughed: "I think the Yujian Nightmare Unicorn is the same as these two magical beasts, they are both legendary holy beasts. No one has ever seen it. You want to catch them. Think it's possible?"

"This ......" Ba Naogan didn't expect this to be the case.

Gordon said: "Interlacing is like a mountain, if you take this task list, it is purely to cause trouble for yourself, or give up as soon as possible." ”

A mercenary said, "But it's on the task list." I've seen nightmare unicorns in the area of Sacred Elephant Mountain. ”

"It's. Gordon said, "We came from the Elephant Hill a few days ago. We didn't see it anyway. Whoever can encounter this holy beast. That's definitely lower than the odds of winning the lotto. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be depressed when they heard this, and they didn't expect to encounter trouble when they came to the Warcraft Forest, not to mention that even the task was not going well. I took a big task list, and this is the result.

After chatting for a while, after everyone finished eating, the two sides dispersed and went about their own business.

A companion said to Ba Nao: "Commander, according to them, we have to give up our mission to catch the Nightmare Unicorn. ”

Ba Nao sighed: "That's the only way." Let's not talk about this for a while, the task of finding blood lipids is also a big task list, so let's get busy. ”

"It's the head of the regiment. ”

In order to complete the task list of blood lipid stones, Ba Naogan and the others also carefully studied and understood the formation principle of blood lipid stones, so he immediately led people to find places where blood lipid stones might be generated.

The slope is not large, but it is not the only one in the nearby mountains that has red blood pines, especially in the swampy areas where fog barriers appear in the early morning and evening, or areas with water and mud, which are the most likely places to turn trees into fossils. Because the saprolite mud will wrap it in the middle of the tree's complete decay and deposit it in a closed environment isolated from the outside world, which is the basic condition for the formation of red blood pine fossils.

From dawn to day, and from dawn to daylight, the next day to find daylight, this kind of desperate search method has been searched for several days, and there is no trace of blood lipidstones. Everyone is discouraged and frustrated, and they always feel that everything seems to be not going well.

In fact, there is no way, it is impossible to find blood lipids so easily, otherwise everyone can find them, and it is worthless. And there is not much skill to find this kind of fossil, especially for those laymen, who can only find a way for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse and hit a big luck.

On this day, Ba Naogan organized a team to lead a team to continue to expand the scope of searching, but inadvertently found an accessory for a piece of armor. This accessory happens to be a piece of armor on the arm that is painted with the heraldic insignia of their Weeping Blood Mercenary Regiment.

"This must have been left behind! They had passed through here, and the regimental commander was still alive. The companion who picked up the armor shouted excitedly, and hurriedly brought the thing to Ba Naogan.

"That's right, that's right, they're still alive. Ba Naogan was also excited: "Great!"

Everyone was very happy and hurriedly said, "I don't know when they passed here, but it shouldn't be long." By the way, look for the traces, look for the marks on the ground, and see where they went. ”

Everyone squatted among the grass and searched carefully, and the footprints of one or two hundred people were not difficult to find, and they were soon found.

"It's going west. To the west, isn't that continuing to walk deeper into the Monster Forest?"

"Is this weishenme?" everyone was a little puzzled: "If they want to find us, it stands to reason that they won't go any further." Even if they have the same thoughts as us, and they have the same intention of continuing to complete the mercenary mission, they should stay in the Qingbaipo and Shiling Mountain area for a while to find blood fat stones or something. But there were traces on the ground, and they had been gone for days. ”

Luo Dao: "Anyway, there is finally another clue." Commander, do you have any predetermined goals for us to go west?"

Before he could open the map, Ines said, "From here, 450 kilometers west is the Holy Elephant Mountain. ”

Bimoye said: "At our speed, it will take more than ten days to walk from here to the Holy Elephant Mountain. If they really want to go to the Holy Elephant Mountain, they are still halfway there. ”

Ba Nao said: "Holy Elephant Mountain, that's where we Jihua is looking for the Nightmare Unicorn, and it's also the biggest task order of our trip. He thought for a moment and said, "Go back, everyone pack up the things in the camp and go to the Holy Elephant Mountain immediately." What about you, Ians? It's even more dangerous at Elephant Mountain. ”

Ines said, "I've happened to this too, and I'll go with you." And I'm here to find the water of the holy spring, and it's the same everywhere I go. ”

"Alright, let's go. ”

Return to the camp where they were grouped with Gordon. It just so happened that Gordon and the seven of them were discussing something in the camp. Tagore saw that they were leaving. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What, the blood lipid stone you are looking for has been found, do you want to leave?"

One of the mercenaries replied, "We haven't found the Lipid Stone, but we have found clues to our lost companions." I'm going to look for them now. ”

"Oh. ”

Vane cleaned up. He asked curiously, "Why didn't you go hunting today?" It's all here. ”

Tagore said: "That's right, we haven't found the ironback centipede for the past few days, and we are trying to find it in another place." Ay. That's it, everyone has to go anyway, it's better to walk together, and take care of each other on the road. ”

"But we're going to the Holy Elephant Mountain. Vane said, "Didn't you come from that place?"

Rabindranath Tagore said, "It's okay, the suspected ptero-eared spell dragon we found is also in that direction, just on the same road." On the way, with the help of hunters who know how to war, you can also be safer. ”

As for the skills of Tagore and Gordon, Ba Naogan also knows a little about them these days, and with their help, he will save a lot of trouble, so he agreed: "Let's go together." ”

After packing up his things, Gordon came over with a dirty piece of wood: "By the way, aren't you looking for blood lipolites? We found this in the mud swamp over there this morning, I don't know if it's or not." As he spoke, he threw the things in his hand over.

What looks like wood is still a little heavy on the hand, but it's still much lighter than real stone. Ba Naogan touched some of the dirt on it, and saw that the rotten wood was full of blood-red crystals, and it smelled of a strange thing, just like the description of the blood lipid stone they were looking for.

"It's really a lipolite. Ba Naogan took the blood lipid stone and said, "What are you?"

Gordon said: "Yes, the things will be given to you, and we will pay off what we owe you on the giant unicorn." ”

Ba Naogan said, "Thank you so much. However, the blood lipid stone is very valuable, and it is much more valuable than the giant unicorn fairy. ”

Gordon smiled heartily: "Hey, we don't understand this, we just know that this is what you need, so I helped you find it by the way, but I didn't expect to find it." Don't say anything more if you're polite, it's better to find your companions, let's get on our way. ”

"Hmm. When Ba Naogan saw him say this, he was not polite enough to earn, and then led the people all the way to the west.

......

(I saw a post in the post bar saying that I saw some similarities in this book.) Well, I was inspired to write this novel from two games, Heroes of Might and Might and Magic and Diablo, and I borrowed a lot of content from these two games as settings. In particular, "Invincible Heroes" gave me the urge and idea to write Western fantasy, so I have to pay tribute to these classics here. ）

(Gargoyle (dripper, gargoyle)

A half-human, half-beast drip spout on the roof of a medieval Gothic building used to direct the flow of water on the roof to keep it clean. These monsters have hideous faces, bat wings and tails, and demonic appearance, and people put it at the door to ward off evil spirits. Legend has it that necromancers pour life into these statues to make them move, and they have stone-hard skin, are invulnerable, and have a weakness of photophobia. Derived to Zuihou, this monster has completely lost its original practical and religious value, becoming a purely ornamental item. "Heroes", "Might and Magic" and other series often appear in the "gargoyle" refers to it, people fantasize that the ancient and mysterious stone statue absorbs the essence of the heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon after a long time, because of the hard stone, it is even set in "Might and Magic 6" to completely defend against physical attacks, and the protagonist of the Hollywood cartoon "Night Dragon" is also Gargoyle, and is set to only move at night, and it will become a stone statue during the day.

Geryon

Tall as a mountain, with three bodies and three heads and six arms, he was one of the four sons of the Italian king, nicknamed the "Golden Sword", a wealthy man known as Shijie (the Italian was later divided into Spain and Portugal). Geryon had a herd of brown and red cattle in his care with a giant and two-headed dog, Ottius, and one of Hercules' twelve missions was to bring them back to King Eurystheus. After defeating the giant and two-headed dog Ottius who guarded the herd, Herclis was pursued by Grimon, who shot him in the abdomen at the junction of the three torsos of the hydra with an arrow soaked in the blood of the hydra Shdra, killing him.
