Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Oh, poor horse."

The team immediately rushed down. Sera looked at the blood and flesh residues on the ground that had not been completely washed away, and shook her head with regret.

"There is not even a bone residue left. It seems that the creature we are looking for has a good appetite." Victoria looked at the ground where the outline of the horse was clearly pressed. Obviously, the hunter was eating here.

"But it is obvious that its brain is not smart, or more focused? It will not even choose to eat all the meat on the packhorse and then gnaw the bones."

Ivy looked around and soon found other carriages and horse wreckages-some of the carriages had a lot of wood piled on them, but now these woods have been scattered in the fields. I think they are Sulina's goods.

And these horses pulling the carriages are "better" than the first one that was eaten up. The ferocious monster only picked some flesh and tendons.

"There's a body here!" Driver asked the others to see what he had found. "Did you see it? That big guy probably doesn't like eating people!"

When everyone gathered around, they saw the body of a young man with gray-green skin, a sloping forehead, a protruding lower jaw, and exposed teeth. A sharp claw ripped him open, and his internal organs flowed all over the floor. These days, the small creatures nearby have been messing with him.

"Orc... This guy fought a desperate battle with the monster to protect his employer's property," Sera whispered, "May there be a place for you in Valhalla, and your heroic battle with the monster will be repeated again and again in front of Grom's temple."

Ron: "..."

He didn't quite understand this custom or belief. Although the orc guy was indeed brave, over and over again? Being killed by the monster that killed him in his lifetime? This doesn't look like a blessing, does it?

"Don't worry about her," Ivy whispered, "Only she and the orcs can understand this culture."

See, this is not a problem of time travel.

"Don't make noise, bring me a handkerchief," Victoria leaned over, took the handkerchief handed over by Ivy, and picked up something that looked like both a needle and a nail from the corpse of the orc.

"What is this?"

Ron looked at it curiously, a fantasy technique that uses a needle to stimulate one's potential?

"I guess it's a tail nail," Victoria said solemnly, "There is a detailed description of this creature in our guard manual. If I'm not mistaken, the one who attacked them was not a griffin at all, but another ferocious monster!"

"Roar--!"

When a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by thunder, a roar like that of a wild beast resounded through the wilderness.

Under the dim sky, Ron saw some huge creature with wings on its back flying slowly from a low altitude. Even though it was still far away, he could feel the sinister malice in the other's eyes.

"Scorpion tail lion! Sure enough!" Victoria immediately got ready for battle, "Ivy, get ready to meet the enemy!"

"No need for you to say!" Ivy's tower shield has been set up.

Driver looked at the flying monster, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Among the spells he obtained from nature, there is such a spell that can help him better inflict trauma on the prey. Knowing in advance that he might face some kind of monster, the goblin hunter prepared this spell today.

"Humble ants, dare to break into my hunting ground and steal my prey!"

When the manticore flew closer, looking at the abnormally huge lion body, waving dragon wings, human-like face and the slender tail with spikes, Ron officially identified it.

Manticore, this is an indisputable monster. It has a head similar to that of a humanoid creature, a lion's body and a pair of dragon wings. The towering mane extends to its back, and the end of the slender tail is covered with clusters of spikes. Manticore can shoot these dangerous spikes when hunting, piercing any prey within the attack range of the tail.

And the most important point is that this thing usually hunts in groups!

"It should be a lone one, hunting all the way here," Victoria whispered, "If they were in groups, we should have known that there was a lair of the Scorpion-tailed Lion here."

This is a relatively flat wilderness, and there is no way to hide such a large monster.

"Even if there is only one of me, you can't compete with me at all!" The Scorpion-tailed Lion's voice became three times louder after hearing Victoria's words, "One, two, two and a half! Very good, two and a half human flesh and blood! I will thank you for your gift!"

"Try to say it again?!" Ivy threw a bottle of scorching fire glue out, but it was a pity that it was raining heavily now. Although the viscous fluid in the bottle spontaneously ignited in the air, it quickly extinguished and caused almost no damage to the Scorpion-tailed Lion.

"Pathetic half-human, you dare to resist!" The Scorpion-tailed Lion was enraged, and it immediately swooped down, and a pair of sharp claws slammed on Ivy's shield.

"You stitched monster, are you worthy of calling me half-human?!" Ivy's temper was not good, and she immediately fought with it. Beside her, Sera and Driver rushed forward from the left and right to attack her. Victoria's blessing took effect at the same time, and Ron's freezing ray was more powerful due to the cold rain, leaving a string of ice crystals and wounds on the manticore's leather wings.

"Roar! Enough!"

The manticore soon couldn't resist, and the dragon wings behind it suddenly raised a whirlwind, blowing away the little guy who was obviously the smallest but posed the greatest threat to him, and at the same time took himself into the air.

"Careful! It's getting ready to use its tail spike!"

Ron shouted in a deep voice, and at the same time, magic missiles shot out from his hand, hitting the manticore.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-" Several people quickly hid behind Ivy and Victoria, and with a series of sounds of gold and iron intersecting, most of the tail spikes were stopped.

Victoria glanced sadly at the shield in her hand that was about to fall apart, and threw it aside.

"You really have to change one!" Dreyfudo yelled with bared teeth. Just now he was hiding behind this unreliable shield and was hit by a bullet in the thigh.

"I want it too!" Victoria didn't care to argue with this guy and threw a healing spell at the goblin, "Knock it down quickly!"

"I want it too!" Drayford rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the opponent's claw from the air, and fired two arrows with his backhand, causing sparks to appear on the manticore's scales.

This is the first time they have faced this kind of flying monster, and the terrain is also very unfriendly to them. It is difficult for Ivy to protect everyone, but the manticore can continuously swoop down from the air to the relatively weakly armored Ron and Ser. La and Dreyfudo made them miserable, and it was very difficult for the barbarians to even touch each other.
