wandering fairy

On the gray and rocky wilderness, a few low shrubs and a few lonely old trees scattered on the ground made a slight whirring sound in the wind, and the gloomy sky was still gray, as if it would never be seen The day the clouds opened.

Zakwei bit off the leg bone in his hand, crunching it in his mouth.It looked up at the gray between the sky and the earth closing together in the sky, as if a hopeless future was waiting for it.

The remaining [-] or so wolf man subordinates looked at him in awe, they trembled silently, and their frightened expressions were condensed between their brows and eyes.

They are afraid.

Fear of being killed and eaten by oneself as food;

Afraid to starve to death in this wilderness in a few days;

Fear of being killed by fellow men in increasingly violent infighting before they die.

It's been more than 20 days without any food, and it's hard to find even a mouse in this stony wilderness!There is no other way to survive than to kill one's weak companions for food.

But the one with the most ability to kill others is Zakwei. It is almost half a person tall. The row of manes from the neck to the back are like black steel needles standing up one by one, showing its frightening energy. His face was smeared with bright red and cold blood, which made his vicious long mouth and fangs even more terrifying!The mighty leather armor on it was thick and intact, making its posture even more majestic.And its left hand is holding the heavy-duty three-headed flail that has been blessed by divine magic. A dim yellow light appears on the handle as thick as a small tree and the three half-human long chains, and each of the three hammer heads emits a The round yellow rays of light, carrying a strong evil aura, proclaim the supreme authority of God Yenusu!It was this flail that crushed a Gnoll's skull this morning, turning it into food for Zakwi's mouth.Now on the ground there is only one spine, a few connected ribs and a layer of minced meat hanging from the bone.

It is the leader of this group of gnolls and the priest of Jenusu, the god of gnolls.

None of the gnolls rushed close to Zakwei, but the unbearable hunger in their bodies had turned into despair, anger and impulsiveness, forcing them to move forward slowly and hesitantly, trying to grab a small bone to fill them up. Stomach.

Zakwei glanced around. Apart from fear, the eyes of his subordinates showed a bit of anxiety and anger, and several jackals holding scimitars and shields glanced at each other, as if they were communicating in secret.

This is the harbinger of collective rebellion!

Zakwei sneered in his heart, how many well-equipped guys want to unite to rebel?Do you think the tattered leather armor on your body is harder than steel?court death!Under the blessing of God Yenusu, even if these twenty jackals fight to the death, they can only be their own rations!

But things can't be done absolutely, it's not difficult to kill these subordinates, but what about the days to come?Without his own team, he would be killed by other wolf man groups sooner or later!Every gnoll group has a strong leader who becomes a priest of Jenusu, and these leaders will not allow another priest who can threaten it to live!

It rubbed its stomach, and although the thin "military ration" hadn't filled its stomach, at least it wasn't hungry anymore, and left the rest to the subordinates to fight for.They must kill each other for this little food, and then the injured losers can be used as army food again.

It left the remains of the Gnoll corpses.More than [-] wolf men rushed forward, and suddenly became a group.

Soon, they fought hard, the machete slashed heavily on the companion who had fought together for several years, the hard wooden shield ruthlessly hit the head of the childhood playmate, and the sharp canine teeth clung to the biological brother The brave man roared and kicked away the greedy comrade-in-arms, the cowardly coward drew out his dagger and stabbed the strong man in the back...

Killing is as common as drinking water,

For those who would not kill have been killed,

The only way to survive is to get food.

You can only get food by killing your companions.

this is the truth

A Jackal man in leather armor held the remaining bones in one hand, used a large machete to cut a bloody path, and rushed out of the crowd.It is the brave of the team and an excellent fighter.It has charged ahead in every previous battle, unafraid of any large monsters or strange magical beasts, but it is not reckless, and it knows how to use powerful terrain and situations to help it win.Zakwei appreciated it very much. During the heyday of the team, he let it lead 30 gnolls to fight with him.It should be said that it is a very promising guy.

But the "future" is just the expectation in my heart.

Now it is struggling to run into the distance, trying to get away from the dozen or so powerful pursuers behind it.

Hunger strikes again, but instead of giving it strength and courage—its legs give way and it falls,

Another tall and strong figure galloped up, shouting the holy name of Yenusu, brandishing a heavy black flail and hitting the fallen person head-on!

The person who fell turned around, and the heavy cold light scimitar swiped, and the feet of the person came straight at lightning speed. It was too late to stand up, and the only way to save it was to attack it!

The visitor uttered a frightening roar, pointed at the fallen with sharp claws, and the power of the gods was immediately exerted on the poor opponent.The big scimitar stopped abruptly, because its owner was frozen by the "fixation technique", and the muscles of his whole body were stiff, as if he could not move like a statue.

The head of the black flail hammer shone with a round of dark yellow light, hitting the evil, angry and terrified face of the person who fell, causing blood to splatter and brains to burst.

The visitor held up a terrifying flail, and the hammer head was dyed in red and white, exuding a strong evil aura. Blood flowed down the protruding corners quickly, and it howled angrily toward the sky, " The huge destructive power of "sound boom" exploded in all directions like rolling thunder.

The gnolls, who are extremely sensitive to sound, covered their ears and backed away. Those who were chasing after it were caught off guard, and immediately rolled to the ground screaming, as if they had been hit on the head by a sledgehammer. .

Not far away, Zakwei covered his ears and watched what happened with great satisfaction. Two jackals were killed in this conflict, and two other weak and careless guys lost their ability to move, lying on the ground for a long time. Stop howling.

Howl, howl for your future, you are destined to become the "military rations" in the next few days.

Of course, what satisfies Zakvi the most is that his spouse, Layash, performed very well. He instantly killed the opponent with the immobilization technique, and then deterred the others with the sonic boom. Now no one dares to attack Before, it was devouring its thick spine.The ferocious eyes were stained red by the blood of the dead, like two natural bloodstones emitting a dark red evil light.

After the remaining nineteen gnolls ate the two dead gnolls, the team slowly calmed down. Fear and despair replaced anger and impulsiveness.They scattered separately, huddled together on the ground to resist the biting cold wind, and looked at each other with numb and cold eyes from time to time.Now no one can be trusted, only one's own vigilance can be trusted.

Layash twisted the two wailing gnolls and dragged their corpses to Zakwi, who knew that he only had to show respect to the leader.As a male, Zakwi would not kill himself who could bear offspring for him at this time.

"Where should we go now?" Layash asked in a deep voice: "To the west is Harmonwell Town, which cannot be conquered, to the south is the newly-built trade base of Welwach City, and to the east is the robbers of the god of natural disasters, Serotta. The brigade, and the flying stone desert to the north, I have to be the leader, what should I do now?"

"I don't know." Zakwei said blankly: "At this time, you should pray to our god! Only it can guide us on the right path."

Layash moved the skin of his long mouth, but hesitated to speak.

It prayed, but Jenusu didn't answer its question.

A stronger cold wind blew over, and the blood stains on his body began to dry.

It bowed its head to eat the remaining blood, patiently waiting for the blank future.

Zakwei raised his head, staring at a pair of green animal eyes, staring at the small figure in the distance.

It was a broad-backed, painted-faced badger slightly smaller than a wild dog, and its black and gray silhouette appeared and disappeared on the distant horizon.

Since living in this area, this is the third time I have seen it. The first time I saw it was near the town of Harmonwell. At that time, my team had a hundred or so gnolls, which can be described as a huge momentum.Unexpectedly, in less than three months, he has already fallen into this field.

Um?How did this badger gain weight?Is there food around here?

Zakwi excited, yes!There must be food, otherwise it wouldn't easily be here!Not so fat and strong!What kind of food will it be?rabbit?snake?mouse?Or a bug?

do not care!Even ants will eat as long as they can find something to eat!

It howled and hurriedly woke up the other gnolls: "Go! Go! See that big badger? Follow it! It must know where there is food!"

Druid led a team of more than 30 people to the edge of a valley, which was shallow and wide, like a slightly deeper plate.Except for the young mage Grimm riding a pony, the rest of the people were all wearing brand-new leather armor and carrying heavy backpacks, walking here from Harmonwell Town.Everyone stood very tiredly above the valley, waiting for the druid's order.

The druid still had short hair and was wearing a knee-length dark blue robe. His blue-green eyes were slightly closed and he was silent for a while. He pointed to the bottom of the valley and said to Tivedes who was wearing heavy iron scale armor beside him: "This is the place where we will ambush the remaining gnolls. According to the news from Budbey, there are less than twenty of them now, and they are extremely hungry and exhausted. On the other hand, we have been recharging our energy for many days, and we are all wearing The special leather armor I personally made. It is not difficult to wipe them out!"

Tiwedes pulled out the three-finger-wide, chest-high two-handed sword, and wiped it carefully.He looked at the faint film of light produced by the "magic weapon" attached to the weapon, and said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that they will fight back. If we die and fight back, we may lose a lot of people." Maybe in a remote place After staying for a long time, he didn't have the slightest excitement before the battle. Instead, he valued the lives of the soldiers more than victory or defeat.

The druid laughed twice, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, I have already prepared some new gadgets for those remnants and defeated generals. With the help of these things, our casualties will not be too great. Lelin, take my Get the box of gadgets for them."

Lelin took out a rectangular wooden box from her backpack and handed it over. Now her body has recovered [-]% to [-]%. Her light brown monochromatic skin has a warm texture, and her beautiful face exudes a charming heroic spirit. , the broad shoulders and strong arms contain powerful vitality, and the narrow and powerful waist and plump hips and hips show extraordinary explosive power.It is really a rare female hero.

Along the way, the soldiers around would peek at her from time to time, which made Le Lin, who had experienced a tragic history, feel very uncomfortable.However, as the "female slave" of Master Dong Hezi, no one dared to take her seriously for the time being.Except for the little mage Grimm.

Now this guy looked over with a serious look, and he didn't know what dirty scenes to think about.Since the town of Harmonwell, he has come over intentionally or unintentionally to strike up a conversation, and when talking about things with Master Dong Hezi, he always finds opportunities to bring the topic to himself.From what she likes to eat to what sports she likes, from what time she sleeps at night to what color she is interested in, and even asked how much the druid spent to redeem and heal herself.As if she was already a commodity for sale!

Le Lin turned around and glared at the boy impatiently. If it wasn't because he had a good relationship with the Druid and was the acting lord here, Le Lin would have found an opportunity to teach him a lesson!She is somewhat sure of dealing with a brat who doesn't even know third-order spells.

The Druid took the box and opened it, inside were some small wooden sticks two palms long.

"What are these?" Tywedes asked curiously, "Why are these wooden sticks as thick as a baby's little finger? Are they your new 'chopsticks'?"

The druid laughed and said, "How can that kind of thing be used to deal with jackals? You are all watching." Yan Bi took out these small sticks and threw them into the valley, and dozens of sticks the size of 'chopsticks' were thrown into the air. Fly away by itself.When they pierced vertically into the ground at the bottom of the valley, they had already spread out to the size of five mu of land.The sticks are spaced about 30 feet apart, but are most sparse toward the south, where the sticks are spaced more than 60 feet apart.

The Druid raised his right hand and drew small circles at the small wooden sticks at the bottom of the valley, chanting a spell in a low voice, the voice was vague, as if a person was muttering softly to himself.

Suddenly, the dozens of small wooden sticks changed dramatically, each of them swayed and swelled rapidly, turning into weird little trees within five or six breaths.They are less than two people tall, but they are as thick as a large water tank in a farmer's house!There are only four or five short, thick and thick branches growing from the top of the trunk, and there are only five or six leaves on each branch!

Grimm secretly glanced at the beautiful and fit Lelin from the corner of his eye, and said to the druid with a smile: "These trees are thick and short, they look very much like the bread trees recorded in "Natural History", but There are too few twigs and leaves. Do you want to use the fruit from this tree to lure the jackals?" He couldn't help laughing: "But the jackals are not vegetarian, hahahaha."

He laughed a few times, but found that everyone was staring at him without any intention of booing, so he shut his mouth in embarrassment.

The druid said indifferently: "Of course it's not a bread tree, it's a spell of our secret druids."

Grimm couldn't help interjecting again: "Could it be the stick method? I only heard that druids can turn a stick the size of a rolling pin into a tree person, but I've never heard that it can be turned into a tree, and your wooden stick The sticks are as small as 'chopsticks'. What are these trees used for?"

The druid smiled and said: "My secret technique is not to turn a stick into a treant, but to turn a big tree into a small stick first, and then process it with a special method. As for the use, I will talk about it later." Let me tell you slowly, now that everyone is gathering, I still have a spell to cast."

More than thirty people gathered together, and the druid took out a wooden sign about one palm long and three fingers wide.The shape of the card is slightly like a dagger, with a wedge-shaped and wide front end, and a narrow rear end with a wooden handle underneath.The entire wooden sign is as black as black jade, with a large vermilion rune painted on it. It seems that some small runes are matched, nested, and combined to form a seamless whole.The druid held the wooden handle and gently shook the dagger-shaped wooden sign, closing his eyes and concentrating.After three or four breaths, a slight rumbling sound suddenly came out from the wooden sign, like thunder.The runes on the card immediately fluoresced, like crystal rubies.

In an instant, the ground rumbled, and the surrounding soil and rocks quickly rose up, turning into a circle of irregular stone barriers as high as a person and as wide as a person, surrounding everyone inside.It encloses an area of ​​two mu of land, and the body of the rampart smoothly connects with the surrounding hills, making a natural transition, making the barrier and the ups and downs of the hills a seamless one.From the outside, it seems to be part of the hills, and there is no flaw at all.The inner wall of the barrier has a small step-like slope for people to go up and down.The soldiers were startled by the similarities and differences on the ground, and then looked curiously at the thick barriers around them. A few bolder people even took the lead to climb up the barriers along the natural steps and looked around down the mountain.

Grimm was stunned, and came back to his senses and hurriedly asked: "What kind of spell is this? Don't tell me it's 'turning stones into mud'. It can't be so fast, and it's impossible to make it so big at one time." !"

"Of course not." The Druid looked at him and said, "This is the 'Stone Wall' technique improved by our secret druids, but now it's not a wall but a thick stone barrier. Without it, it will be very difficult for the gnolls to find us hiding inside, so we can rest assured here and wait for work! Waiting for them to come over."

The Tiwedes knight on the side still asked doubtfully: "The wilderness is so large, are you really sure that they will come over? Even if they do, they will definitely go into the woods?" Although he Knowing the ability of a spellcaster is beyond ordinary people's expectations, but according to legend, druids don't seem to be good at divination spells.

But the Druid said confidently and proudly: "Of course, they are already coming this way."
