Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

He Ying's explanation of the culture of the humanoid race was obviously fruitless, but neither party delved into it. Ron and others quickly went down the mountain, following the path pointed by the giant eagles. Try to track down the location of those gargoyles as quickly as possible.

In this area that may have been untouched for hundreds of years, all kinds of wild beasts and monsters almost blocked the few roads. Ron's team had to spend a lot of time to drive away or clean up in order to Ensure safe passage.

Just take the mud monsters that were specially mentioned by the giant eagles as an example. When the companions finally escaped from the gathering place of these gel-like creatures, each of them seemed to be wrapped in a layer of It's like a fishy, ​​sticky paste.

"I even have half an undigested skull here!" Yelena "teared" off a broken bone from her body in disgust, "If you ask me, Ron, you should just use magic to clean them off! This is too much Disgusting!"

"Isn't it the same thing to clean it with magic?" Ron casually summoned a stream of water to swirl among his companions to wash away the annoying mucus. "Look at the plants around you. Fireball spells or lightning beams may ignite them. It won’t end well then.”

Although setting fire to the mountain here would not lead to imprisonment, it would likely attract the attention of other monsters. Their first priority now was to hurry, and it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible.

"I don't like the slime either, but Ron is right." Quest raised his boots and rubbed the slippery gum on the tree trunk. "I don't know if you have noticed, but there is a small strip of slime not far away." There is wind blowing towards us by the stream."

Drivedor twitched his nose and took off his short bow vigilantly: "Something is emitting a stink, we'd better be careful."

The hunter's nose is very sharp. When Ron and others used the cover of the woods to hide their figures and gradually approached the open space by the stream, the sound of water in their ears gradually became louder, and at the same time, there were also some barking like dogs. .

"Is it an animal drinking water?" Yelena is far less interested in the souls of wild creatures than in the souls of humanoid creatures, and her knowledge in this area is also quite limited.

She quietly jumped up to a nearby tree like a leopard and observed the situation at the edge of the stream: "It looks like some jackals, they are gathering near the water, and some are in the water."

"It doesn't look like this is a creek. Those jackals can only show their heads. The water is quite deep."

"Are you sure it's just an animal?" Drayford raised his hand to summon a cloud. At this point in time, the occasional thick fog by the forest water was just a "natural phenomenon" and would not cause excessive vigilance. Hidden in the mist, the team silently left the woods and passed through the clearing without cover.

If it is determined that they are just ordinary jackals, Ron and others will choose to bypass them directly. No matter how ferocious the beast is in broad daylight, they will not risk taking their entire team as prey. What they have to worry about is the second scenario - some creatures with jackal heads but humanoid bodies.

That's the real beast.

"Being careful always pays off..." Ivy whispered softly. Through the cover of the fog, when everyone had brought these creatures into the range of bows and arrows, there was no longer any debate about their racial affiliation.

A creature that was immersing its entire body in water stretched out a limb that was only 40% similar to a claw and 60% more like a human hand, and wiped the water on its face.

"It's the Jackals!" Drayford whispered, "These guys are experienced hunters and robbers second only to the goblins. I suggest that we go around them and clear the traces to prevent them from being tracked."

"Their hunting and attacks are completely random and without warning. If we are targeted, we will have to worry about their attacks for a long time in the future!"

"That would be too slow," Quest shook his head, "And do you remember? Those giant eagles would go to that cemetery to steal corpses to feed themselves, and these jackals are probably no exception. No matter how careful they are, they will There’s no way to guarantee you won’t encounter them.”

"My advice is to get rid of them right here while most of them are still in the water!"

As Quist said, most of the jackals had their bodies submerged in the water, leaving only a few four-legged jackals on the shore drinking bath water and guarding their weapons. This was indeed the best way to attack them. opportunity.

A jackal broke out of the water, raised his hands above his head, and showed off his achievements to his companions: he caught a delicious salmon. However, gnolls are not a race that knows how to come first, first served. Other gnolls immediately swarmed up. Some dived into the water, trying to believe that they had such good luck; while others simply rushed towards the accomplice who had already gained something. Trying to directly enjoy the fruits of other people's labor.

The chaos didn't end until a jackal that was stronger than the others of its kind appeared. The jackal that looked like the leader didn't even bother to do anything. It stretched out its snout and bit the salmon in the opponent's hand. In the mouth.

The jackal, which was beaten by a group for accidentally showing off, was naturally unwilling to give up the fish meat it had obtained. However, under the threat from the leader's throat, in order to keep its hands from being bitten off, it could only do its best to prevent its hands from being bitten off. Reluctantly, he let go of his hand and watched eagerly as the leader swallowed the meat whole.

The strong gnoll who "once again upheld the dignity of the leader" licked his mouth contentedly, looking around at his fellows who bowed their heads because of his gaze, but he did not notice that in the thick fog that slowly drifted out of the forest, an arrow enchanted with strong acid was gradually aiming at his heart.

"Chi——"

The arrow of the goblin hunter was the order for Ron's entire team to start the attack. When the gnoll leader's gradually darkening vision was still on the arrow that sank into his chest, the bright lightning had exploded in the entire stream.

The gnolls who had not yet recovered from the small commotion just now fell into chaos. They were in a panic and found in horror that the water that was cool and comfortable just now suddenly became so numb. The strong current went from feet to head. Those gnolls who were impatient to climb up the dry bank to fight back often had their legs stiffened and slipped into the potentially fatal stream, unable to struggle anymore.

The flaming sword in Ivy's hand easily singed the flesh of the jackals on the shore, while Questor wandered along the shore. Those jackals who were lucky enough not to be paralyzed would be beaten with sticks if they got close enough. For a moment, the whole stream was filled with the heart-wrenching howls of injured jackals.
