Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
It's still the fixed process, or the familiar line. Grim is on the road of inspection again.
But today is clearly a little different.
As soon as you step into the gravel path, Grim notices something weird. Today ... these monsters seem to be extremely agitated, and their behaviors are very unusual.
The first stop of the tour, Killer Tree Forest.
Before approaching Killer Tree Forest, Grim was scared by today's battle.
The skinny bony wrinkles killer tree are densely packed with Scavenger Crows. They stared at each other with scarlet eyes, and couldn't help looking at Grim, but they were rather strange and silent, unlike their usual appearance.
To be honest, being stared at by hundreds of Scavenger Crowss at the same time, even the daring Apprentice Adept has to be creepy. However, what surprised Grim more was the silence of this group of Scavenger Crows. If you change in the usual times, the noise of a dozen Scavenger Crows's harsh and unpleasant sounds will be enough to stir the chickens and dogs within a radius of 1 mile.
But today ...
Looking at their posture, they look like they are waiting for the feast.
Grim's knowledge told him that these Scavenger Crows would be so quiet and patient only while waiting for food. It is said that in the wilderness desert, these guys can sleeplessly follow the travelers on the verge of death for days and nights, waiting for the moment when the other side falls.
Grim walked slowly on the gravel path with hundreds of Scavenger Crowss in the "climbing welcome", while the side was surrounded by bad guys with bad intentions.
"Can the chip scan the surrounding environment for changes? I want to know what's happening here!" I really couldn't stand this low-depressed, almost solidified atmosphere, and the Grim finally secretly gave the chip orders.
*Beep*, the real-time scanning task begins ... to establish dynamic monitoring of the surrounding environment ... Didi Di ... found unknown odor source ... southeast direction ... 500 meters away ... "
Unknown smell?
Grim was reminded to take a deep breath and taste slowly, and finally, a trace of **** gas was identified in the stale damp water mist. No wonder today's monster looks so excited! The **** gas that even they can detect, of course, they are ten times more sensitive than themselves, and they are certainly more agitated and restless.
Counting the days, today is not an "open day" once a month! Did someone sneak in?
With full questions, Grim swallowed up a bottle of Ailan Water, pulled hood and hurriedly headed southeast.
Ailan Water, a special sorcerer medicine made with wormwood, can effectively close the pores of the whole body and eliminate the leakage of its own breath. But the aging time is only 2 quarters.
…………
Whispering Garden.
In the once deserted and quiet abandoned garden, it has become a frightening battlefield at this moment.
Before approaching here, the terrible baby monsters cry and the screaming and screaming of the undead, as well as the loud swearing of human mercenaries, have spread far into the ears of Grim. Of course, what attracted him more was the strong, pungent **** smell. Grim approached the battlefield little by little under the cover of trees and wild grass. Soon, he found a location with excellent visibility to watch everything in the field up close.
The two teams are fighting.
The offensive side is of course the terrible baby monsters and necromancers gathered here, while the defending side is a squad of mercenaries with 17 members.
This is a capable and capable mercenary team. All members are physically fit and powerful. Their equipment is also pretty good, with both a strong shield made of hardwood, an arm shield and a round shield of small-type, plus almost a pair of bows and arrows, of course, hunting around the ordinary monster is of course not a problem.
Unfortunately, what surrounds them today is the most terrible monster of Whispering Garden-baby monsters.
baby monsters have no feet, they crawl on the ground with a pair of sharp claws, and drag a long umbilical-like thing behind them. They are evil and twisted. Although their bodies resemble human babies, their faces are covered with stacked crumpled dead skin, their features are squeezed together, and their looks are ugly and messy.
Amidst the high grassy bushes without knees, these dwarf Monsters are constantly digging up and down, the sharp cursing screams one after another. And every sound of the infant cry will cause the human mercenary to scream in panic.
Don't look at these baby monsters's short heads, but all of them have strength no less than 5 points, which is already comparable to an adult strong man's strength. And their sharp claws are even more terrible. Every time a volley flies past and is blocked by a shield, it will leave a deep claw marks on it.
But the most terrible thing is their baby cry Curse.
When Grim arrived, baby monsters were trying to break through the shield of human mercenaries with their bodies.
baby monsters climbed quickly on the grass with their claws, and then used a volley to slam into the shield surrounded by mercenaries, but each time they were guarded by the mercenaries with their arm shields. Come back. There was even a baby monsters that couldn't escape, and it was nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows shot by archers.
baby monsters, with its chest and abdomen pierced on the ground, is still fierce. While digging the earth with its claws crazy, it half-raised its body and issued a piercing baby cry at the nearest human mercenary.
The cry is sharp, and it may only be an unpleasant noise in the ears of others, but it falls into the ear of the mercenary with a large shield, but immediately he is caught in the terrifying "Word Curse" effect.
The huge mercenary dropped the shield violently, and both hands clenched his ears tightly, shouting in horror: "Come and save me ... I can't see anything ..."
With the roar, his closed eyes suddenly left two lines of blood and tears.
The grass fluttered loudly, and two more baby monsterss appeared, with ugly smiles on their ugly meatballs, and their mouths were opened with wrinkles and defects, and they were facing the "blind" mercenary. Screamed.
Blind + crazy + chaotic!
Even the official Apprentice Adept can hardly resist the Curse of the baby monsters, let alone these human mercenaries of mortal origin. Before waiting for the mercenary's companion to knock him out, he had knocked over everything in front of him frantically, and stumbled out of the shield wall.
"No ... Bazaer, come back soon ..."
A middle-aged man dressed like a captain of a mercenary screamed in the back, but it was too late.
If someone looks down from a high altitude, you can see a trembling rush of grass around the mercenary squad, and all the fast-losing grass line targets point to the mercenary who is running away.
"Bazaer!" A rough-faced brave man threw off the big shield in his hand, picked up the tomahawk, and rushed to the rescue, but was stopped by the captain stiffly.
"Don't go, Tucker! It's too late ..." The captain grabbed the arm of the brawny man, and looked distantly at the figure of Bazaer, full of sadness and helplessness.
Without his reminder, soon, in the grass in the distance, Bazaer running wildly is thrown to the ground by the baby monsters who are constantly rushing. The painful sigh of grief only stopped after a dozen pinching fingers, leaving only the horrible voice of the baby monsters who bite the flesh wildly.
Although there is grass cover, the mercenaries can't see the scene of baby monsters eating, but just watching the swaying dry grass and the horrible sound of soothing feet is still enough for their brains to make a more terrifying picture. Therefore, the determination and fighting spirit to adhere to the battle with Monster so far have inevitably started to fall.
Woo ...
Suddenly, a human-sized white-hot fireball blasted out from the center of the mercenary team, dragging a long black smoke tail, and the shell fell on the area where the baby monsterss swarmed and ate.
The next second, accompanied by a deafening blast, the horrible elemental flame swallowed up about ten meters of surrounding space and drowned everything in the raging flames.
With just one hit, the unprepared baby monsterss will lose almost twenty. The 14 baby monsterss in the center of the burst of element fireball were instantly reduced to ashes, while the edges of the explosion area were more or less burned by the flames. For a while, baby monsters screamed loudly through the sky!
fire attribute Witchcraft? !!
The Grim observing silently in the dark froze, and quickly glanced at the sight. Soon in the middle of the mercenary team, three suspicious targets with similar appearance and appearance were found.
The black hooded capes cover their bodies so tightly that no one inch of skin is exposed, but looking at their body skeletons, they should be 2 males and 1 female.
Three Apprentice Adepts going out?
Because the opponent cannot be seen visually, the specific strength cannot be estimated. Grim did not dare to act rashly, secretly took out magic talisman, and reported the situation here to Adept Tower.
In this moment, the baby monsterss who have suffered a lot have called out the undead with them life partner.
The undead who can live with monster are certainly not low-end goods like dead skeletons, but some conscious bodies formed by intense resentment and terror. They still have a humanoid appearance, but they do not have a real body. The talent characteristics that can be arbitrarily transformed between reality and reality make them ignore most of the physical attack and defense.
From the appearance, they are just a hazy phantom. The head is relatively clear and can clearly see the contours of human faces. The arms are a pair of sharp ghost claws, just like the essence, but the lower body is a blurry one. From a distance, it seems that the legs have been integrated into the void.
As soon as these guys rushed out of the jungle, the horrifying screams of ecstasy were heard all over the sky, and the temperature in the field suddenly became a bit cold.
With these dozens of horrible dead souls that have almost obscured the sky, the defense circle that was able to hold on just now collapsed.
The undead corpse rushed into the crowd unscrupulously, ignoring the sword, shield and spear in their hands, and caught cold blood on them with the cold ghost claws. Some more terrible dead spirits rushed directly into the mercenary's body, occupied them alive, and turned around to attack their companions.
With the gap they opened, the evil baby monsters continuously broke into the war circle, destroying the will of the mercenaries with their terrible Word Curse, and then dragged them one by one into the weeds to eat.
The scene became more chaotic and bloody.
