The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 306 Dog Head Deep in the Hills

After six days, Kerr and the others finally arrived at the Nagan Hills, and then began to search for the existence of the Korrik kobold tribe living near the hills.

During these six days, Allen and Kerr discovered many tribal ruins and a few surviving small-scale settlements, but they rarely saw tribes with more than a hundred people. In this evil god's chaos, the tribes around Mansha City were severely devastated. Because there were no overly powerful tribes, once the demon army grew in size, it came and went like a fish in the sea. They wiped out the surrounding wilderness natives at will.

It was also because of the connivance of the tribes in Mansha City in the early stage that the demonic army overflowed in this land. If it had not been for the strong intervention of the Temple of Nature in the end, I am afraid that even Mansha City would have fallen in this evil god's chaos.

You know, when the Temple of Nature recalled the Temple Knights who were sent to the wilderness to help other tribes quell the large number of demon armies summoned during the Evil God Rebellion, and swept and cleared the demon army within a thousand miles of Manshacheng, the other party was on this land. There are already more than 15 legendary demons and a demon army of nearly .

Later, the temple paid a heavy price. Several Mansha temple knights such as the Ranger Goddess, the Peace Goddess, and the Sprout Goddess were almost wiped out. The remaining natural temple camp knights also suffered heavy casualties, and there were more than 5 legends and demon legends. They died together, and 11 legends were seriously injured, including Master Oscar, a natural healer whom Allen knew. Only then did the evil army's corrupt situation around Mansha City gradually be curbed.

Then, under the strong request of the Natural Temple, the major tribes in Mansha reluctantly mobilized manpower and resources to eliminate the demon army around Mansha City. As a result, countless adventurer missions and temple missions appeared in Mansha City.

Demons above the legendary level were almost killed and severely injured by the strong men of the Temple of Nature at all costs, and were driven out of Mansha City's sphere of influence. The organic army of demons was also defeated by the Temple Knights and the Wilderness Support Army. . The remaining small demon army was defeated. The Temple Knights were unable to completely clean them up due to their numbers, and the tribes in Mansha City were unwilling to allow their troops to continue to be consumed in Mansha that did not belong to their territory. The city can only leave these tasks to the temple believers and adventurers.

The central plain of Mansha, which was once bustling and lively, with the smell of human habitation almost ten miles away, has returned to desolation. In the past, the land reclaimed by Xue from the civilized world lost its owner's care, and the crops in the land were gradually replaced by weeds. Only a few remaining plants can prove that they were once planted on this land. What is.

The kobolds of the Korrik tribe are lucky. Their tribal settlement is not built on the wilderness ground like other wilderness natives. Instead, they use their own mining talents to build the settlement on a decent building. Within the heart of the tall mountain.

This mountain, known as Sheep's Head Mountain, looks like a goat without horns. Within the mountain, there is a vein of stardust and sand that extends deep into the ground.

Stardust sand is a necessary auxiliary material for making magic equipment. It also has the effect of improving the purity of metal and removing impurities. Therefore, it has wide commercial value and great demand. Of course, its disadvantage is that as a commonly used material, it is widely distributed, and its price is not too expensive, only slightly higher than the value of refined iron.

After discovering this vein of stardust sand, the kobolds of the Korrik tribe settled down in the Nagan Hills. They mined stardust sand and sold it to Mansha City in exchange for daily resources. They lived a comfortable life. not bad. Because of the long mining time, the entire mountainside of Yangtou Mountain was excavated by the kobolds. Later, the kobolds, who were too lazy to endure the harsh sun, wind and rain outside the mountain, simply gave up the village on the ground and moved the entire tribe to Inside Sheep's Head Mountain.

No one could have imagined that the decision made by the Korrik kobold leader who knew how many years ago would now help the kobolds of the Korrik tribe to escape this catastrophe.

The terrain of Sheep's Head Mountain is not outstanding in the mountainous area of ​​​​Nagan Hills, so it is difficult to attract the attention of outsiders. At the same time, after the Collik tribe opened the mountain belly, they closed the ten excavated mountains in the past few years. Counting the mine exits, only 3-4 relatively spacious, strong and hidden entrances and exits are left for the tribesmen's daily entry and exit.

After discovering that the demon army was ravaging the entire wilderness plain, Korrik's dog-headed leader Wutikul Korrik strictly prohibited the tribesmen from going out to reduce their risk of being exposed.

Anyway, there is an underground river leading to the outside world within the mountain, which can provide sufficient food, and the wealth accumulated by the tribe over the years allowed Wutikul to wisely lead the elite of the tribe when he sensed the recruitment of the Evil God Rebellion. , went to Mansha City for a round of large-scale purchases, and the food supplies purchased were enough for their tribe for two years.

The only troublesome thing is that fruits and vegetables are not easy to preserve. The reason why intelligent creatures will develop diseases if they do not eat fresh fruits, vegetables and meat for a long time has long been discovered by mages, druids and other scholars who are good at research. This makes us Tikul had to travel frequently around Sheephead Mountain to hunt and collect a certain amount of fresh food to supplement the elements needed by his tribe.

It was precisely because he had to appear in the wilderness outside from time to time that Wutikul finally made his wishful thinking. At the end of the Evil God Rebellion, his traces were exposed. Also because of the concealment of their village and the nearly 400 tribesmen in the village, the small team of demons scattered in the Nagan Hills became coveted.

An underground settlement that is so hidden and has many complicated underground passages is exactly what this group of middle and low-level demons who are hiding from the wilderness like bereaved dogs need to stay.

"Uncle Patriarch, there is a group of demons about fifteen miles southeast of us. There are 37 demons in total, including 10 mid-level demons and the rest are low-level demons."

At this time, Irene finally gave full play to her professional talents and became the eyes and ears of the Ker team. She used her hidden ability and keen perception to help the team detect any danger in advance.

This is also the help that Allen hoped for after discovering the talent of this little guy Irene.

"However, their movements are very strange, as if they are trying to block an artificially dug cave. At this time, many demons are destroying the structure of the cave and making it collapse."

The advantage of Irene's Shadow Walker is that it is more concealed. It achieves better concealment effect at the expense of part of the shadow's combat effectiveness. After she had just detected the demon army, she boldly approached the opponent's position and observed it carefully, but not a single demon noticed the abnormality.

"Cave?"

Allen frowned. They wandered around the Nagan Hills for several days and found no kobolds at all.

When accepting the mission, the dwarf registrar gave Allen a signal flare, saying that after it was launched into the sky at Nagen Hills, kobolds would naturally come to contact him. However, after Allen sent the signal bomb into the sky as requested, he waited for a full half day and did not see any kobolds coming to contact him. This made Allen and the others completely blind.

"Walk!!"

Allen and the others didn't know the location of the Korrik kobold tribe at all, but he knew that the kobolds had a talent for mining. Therefore, when he heard that there were artificially dug caves, the first thing he thought of was Korrik. of kobolds. If it were Allen, if the devil discovered the existence of their tribe and he was not sure of defeating him, what would be the best way to defend himself?
  It must be a mine! !

The mine was dug by the kobolds themselves, and they must be familiar with the main branch passages in it. The kobolds can take advantage of this to give themselves a certain advantage; at the same time, compared to the towns and villages on the ground, the mines are In fact, it is easier to defend and conceal. As long as you can control several main passages and throats and use elite warriors to guard them, it is suitable for the weak to defend the strong, so that the opponent cannot take advantage of their numbers.

After thinking about this, Allen no longer hesitated and took Cole and the others to the location where Irene found the enemy. While running, Allen told Cole and Tom his judgment and asked them to Understand the reasons for your thoughts.

What happened next was simple. When the Green Lake Adventure Team suddenly came out and rushed straight into the enemy's unprepared rear wing, they dealt a heavy blow to this demon team that was mixed with too many low-level demons.

Allen still did not take action. This time he took Kerr and the others into action. For the two tasks he received, Allen had already made up his mind not to take action until the critical moment, leaving Kerr and the others to act on their own.

Without Xiao Bai's mount, Linus could only use the third-level magic of summoning a smoke pony when the team was charging, summoning a mount made of smoke, and carrying him and Tom on his back. Charge together with the team.

The third-level divine spell is the highest-level divine spell that Linus can cast after being promoted to level 6 Druid. If it weren't for Xiaobai, Linus would not be willing to waste a third-level divine spell at the beginning of the war. Bit. You know, Linus, who was only at level 6 at this time, could only cast three third-level magical spells at most in one battle.

Of course, the smoke pony's movements are not too bumpy, which makes Linus's spellcasting movements more likely to succeed. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that he has been tossing on Xiaobai's back these days. Before Kerr and the others fought against the devil, a blessing technique of oak power covering an area of ​​almost 3 meters was swayed on Kerr and the others, while the three sword dancers Shusheng and Bulin, who were known for their agility, had already arrived. One step away from Linus's magical range.

The power of oak is a divine spell that can enhance a warrior's strength, but at the expense of the individual's agility and speed.

With the blessing of divine magic, Kerr and Bush, who were already outstandingly powerful mad fighters, became even more explosive. They directly smashed the first demon they fought against to the ground, except for a few mid-level demons. The Horned Demon and the Flo Demon barely held on to the attack.

"KAP...MOM..."

Another divine spell was cast, and the bushes on the ground changed. The second-level divine spell summoned the tree spirit to take effect. A vivid coyote-like creature with entangled bush branches shook its head, and then moved towards the demon team ahead. Rushed over.

Irene's figure has been hiding in the shadow plane, wandering around the demon army. Low-level demons passed by but failed to detect her existence. Irene also looked down on such prey until a meat Wings was torn open by an unknown partner, and the Flo Demon falling from mid-air in a panic came into view. Irene unfolded her body skills and rushed over quickly, but she did not bring anyone with her. The sound of wind.

"puff!!!"

The eyes and throat of Flo Demon, who was dragging his fleshy wings and falling into a rage, burst open almost at the same time. Dark red blood with a sulfur smell overflowed from the wound, and occasionally a little milky white brain matter could be seen. When Flo Demon fell forward in confusion, the figure of Irene, a girl, just appeared in front of everyone for a moment, and then pulled out a phantom and disappeared into the crowd. When someone wanted to track her location again, No trace can be found for a long time.

The battle ended quickly, and Allen basically didn't interfere. Kerr and her team paid the price of everyone suffering minor injuries to kill this not-too-small demon army. Empty. A few demons wanted to escape into the hills, but they were stopped by Allen and Irene, and none of them were let go.

"Boom!!"

Bush's heavy hammer hit the chest of a horned demon that was squirming and trembling on the ground, directly smashing the opponent's chest and the armor made of unknown bone materials into pieces. After confirming that it was completely lifeless, this Only then did he put down the heavy hammer in his hand.

"Bush!!!"

In the distance, Kerr's sharp, crackling roar came, and then a gust of breeze blew, and a chestnut bloomed on Bush's bear head, which earned Bush a naive smile after being bullied.

"I just warned you, when you hit someone with a last hit, look for a place where it has no protection, and don't destroy the armor and weapons on the demon!!"

Kerr and Tom were so heartbroken that a good piece of bone armor was lost under Bush's heavy hammer. Although they didn't know how much the bone armor was worth, the excellent defensive power of this bone armor alone , I think it should be a bit oily. But now, this thing has turned directly into countless pieces of gray-black broken powder and broken bones, which are worthless no matter how you look at them.

As an adventurer, searching for loot is also an important course. Other partners can only think about fighting and killing, but as the captain of the adventure team, there are also Cole and Tom who are in charge of the team's finances. Even after the battle is over, They couldn't be idle. While they were commanding everyone to search for loot, they also had to order everyone to collect the heads and horns of these demons, so as to prove that they had killed the mission target.

Allen watched from the side. At his feet was a Bagula demon. Allen used a dagger to easily and skillfully scrape off the dark fur, and hung it upside down on the Kuzhen tree nearby. As one of the low-level demons, the Bagula Demon looks very similar to the Samsara Demon. They are both beasts running on all fours, so Alan watched Kerr and the others cleaning up the battlefield and had nothing to do, so he just wanted to try if he could Use your cooking skills to make this demon into a delicious dish. In Feynman's world, few people seem to use demons as food. In addition to collecting certain materials from demons, most of the demon's other torsos and corpses will be gathered together and burned. Otherwise, the demons that escape from the abyss will come from the abyss. As their bodies decay, they will pollute a large area of ​​land around the bodies, and then no plants from Feynman's world can grow on this land.

However, the longer Allen studied cooking, the more he felt that there was never anything in this world that could not be used as an ingredient. If there were such animals and plants, there was definitely no right way.

The Bagula Demon in front of him is one of Allen's experiments. Allen had been thinking about these things as early as in Green Lake Village, and he had already achieved certain results.

Demons possess energy that is very different from Feynman's world. The abyssal power from the abyss is a good medicine for demons to enhance their strength and essence. However, for the creatures in Feynman's world, this abyssal power is comparable to the most poisonous in the world. Once the poison enters the human body, it is like the maggot attached to the bone, constantly devouring the life source of the creature.

After countless experiments, Allen found that most of the power of the abyss in demons exists in their hearts and blood. As long as they find a way to drain the blood and spinal cord in their bodies and remove their internal organs, the abyss in the demon's torso will Eighty-nine percent of the power has dissipated, and the remaining power of the abyss is not very harmful to a healthy individual.

Moreover, although the power of the abyss is harmful, it is not necessarily a bad thing if a small amount of the power of the abyss is absorbed into the body of a living thing. The living creature may compete with the power of the abyss through its own immunity, and then stimulate its hidden potential and obtain a slight increase in strength.

Allen reached these conclusions through the current research through several self-experiments and observations.

He now has a seemingly whimsical idea to see if he can develop a dish that retains a certain amount of the power of the abyss, and then feed it to the low-level warriors in the clan who have not advanced for various reasons. By letting the low-level warriors themselves The confrontation with the power of the abyss finally gave him the opportunity to advance.

The blood-drained and internal organs-removed Bagula Demon in front of me can be absorbed and eaten by professionals above mid-level as long as it is placed on the fire and made into barbecue. It can even activate the vitality in the body in a short period of time. The effect of becoming stronger and faster.

These effects themselves do not have much side effects, but the consumption of anger, fighting spirit and other advanced energy will be larger, but there is no problem of weak period.

However, such meat is time-sensitive. If it is not eaten after half of the magic is produced, the power of the abyss contained in it will slowly disappear, and finally converted into an inexplicable biological toxin. Although it is not fatal, it will There are many negative effects, such as causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.

"Sister Ker, I will definitely not do this next time!"

Bush's skin was rough after being dunked, and he didn't feel any pain at all. He touched the place where he was hit on his head, raised his head and responded honestly.

"I believe you are the only one who has the undead!"

Kerr gave Bush a blank look, then drove Bush away, roughly broke off the horns of the horned demon, then skillfully chopped off the horned demon's head and threw it into a pile of demon heads.

On the Horned Demon, this thing is still somewhat useful, but on the Vlo Demon, the pair of skeletons supporting the flesh wings are both light and strong, and are an auxiliary material for making weapons. Soon, Kerr and the others packed up these usable things and gave them to Allen.

Now in this team, only Allen has a dimensional bag. Kerr and the others cannot let themselves become bloated for the sake of these materials and heads. Originally, they already had a small bag with them, containing several scrolls, potions, and some daily necessities needed for battle. If we bring the trophies with us, everyone in the team like Kerr and others will have to carry a big bag.

After finishing what should be done, the only thing left was to reopen the blocked artificial cave.

Without being able to contact the kobolds, the tasks that Allen and the others took in the government affairs hall were of no value. In order to maximize profits, Allen had to find traces of the existence of these kobolds, unless they were really killed by demons. .

It didn't take long for the demon to fill up the cave, so Kerr and the others quickly cleared out the collapsed area at the entrance of the cave, revealing a deep passage with no end in sight.

"Barrington, Shusheng, you two go down together, pay attention to the noise, and come up quickly if you find anything wrong."

Cole was now able to direct things in a decent manner, and she no longer needed Tom to remind her from time to time.

It would have been enough to leave the exploration to Irene, a shadow walker with innate escape skills, but in order to reduce the risk, Kerr simply let Barrington and Shusheng serve as targets for attracting dangers that may arise in the dark, and at the same time, they can also help take care of them. Eileen can cover Eileen's escape when danger is discovered.

"Remember, whenever you find a situation that you can't handle, just withdraw it."

Although this was not the first time for Erin, the little sister, to act alone, situations like this at least made Kerr very uneasy and she kept warning her.

"Don't worry, I know!"

Irene's tone had always been gentle, but at this moment her words contained a power that could calm people's hearts. After looking at Kerr with focused and soothing eyes, she walked towards the cave with a smile. After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Irene's figure had disappeared, and Kerr and the others could not find any trace of her existence.

Barrington inlaid a fluorite on the front end of the shield and relied on it to provide lighting after he got into the cave. Shusheng drew out his two swords and put his wings behind Barrington. The two of them covered each other. They followed Irene's footsteps seemingly slowly but actually very quickly, and headed into the cave.

A long time passed, and Kerr and others outside the cave gradually began to become anxious as time passed. Every minute passed, they felt like they were on pins and needles, and they couldn't rest at all. Allen looked aside and frowned.

This is the nature of young people. They are not calm enough and they still need to be sharpened! !
  In the perception of Kerr and the others, it seemed as if several months had passed. In actual time, only a little more than a magic hour had passed. Just in front of Allen, the Bakura demon barbecue was sizzling in the bonfire, and the golden and crispy skin gave off the smell of ripeness. When I smelled the tempting aroma of meat, there was finally movement at the entrance of the cave.

"Shu Sheng, is that you?"

The figure was still hundreds of meters away in the dark passage of the cave, and Kerr's excited voice rang out.

"Yes, Captain Cole."

Not long after leaving Green Lake Village, Kerr was announced by Allen as the captain of the team. Not long after, everyone added the word captain when calling Kerr.

After hearing Shusheng's familiar voice, Kerr and the other team members outside the cave finally let their hearts drop. After breathing a long sigh of relief, Kerr continued to shout: "Is there anything? Discover?"

"We met people from the Korlik tribe at a pass deep in the passage. They sent a steward to come out with us."

Shusheng's answer made Allen relieved. He found the kobolds of the Korlik tribe. At least the mission of the government affairs hall was not in vain.

For many tasks in the Government Affairs Hall, the task reward distributors and supervisors are tribes recognized by Mansha City among the wilderness natives. Although they do not have the strength of large tribes, they are part of the foundation of the wilderness and are absorbed into Mansha. If you come into the system of the Sasha Alliance, you can get limited protection, and you will also assume certain obligations.

For example, almost a quarter of the city guard soldiers in the city are provided by these tribes, and only this part of the soldiers can be fully mobilized by the city guard.

"Dear guests, thank you for lending a helping hand to our Korlik tribe at this time. On behalf of the leader of my tribe, Mr. Wu Tikuer, I pay tribute to you."

The kobold who came looked very alert and smart at first glance. He was wearing an old suit of mail and held a spear in his hand that was higher than his head. At this time, the spear was used as a long crutch by the dog head and was leaning on the ground. Using the body with various traces of the battlefield fighting, he slightly bent his body and lowered his head to salute Kouer and the others.

Kerr looked at Allen and saw that Allen had no intention of talking, so she could only walk up to the kobold and stretch her shoulders.

"Hello, warriors of the Korrik tribe, we are the adventurers of the Green Lake Adventure Group, and we have accepted your support mission."

"If possible, I hope you can send a messenger to guide us to find the remaining demons in the Nagan Hills."

"The demon that originally existed here has been killed by our team members. You can check it out."

"..."

Although it was the first time for Kerr to deal with her employer as an adventurer, she spoke with great enthusiasm and did not lose the limelight at all.

"OK……"

The look of awe in the kobold messenger's eyes flashed away. He knew very well how strong the demon army that had blocked their cave entrance was. Now seeing the pile of burning bones, it was clear that this adventurous team was capable. sharp.
