Chapter 208 Hongfeng River Valley Gnoll
Standing on the edge of the forest, the three looked down at the river valley below.
Here is like a cliff rift. A mountain wall of more than ten meters suddenly appears on the edge of the forest. Below is a large river valley. Several small rivers meander and converge in the valley full of cobblestones, forming a river six to seven meters wide.
Jerry said: "I heard Uncle Doug from the Dog Ears say that in the river valley, you can often encounter some magical animals that slipped out of the misty mountains."
Sydney nodded: "Fantastic Beasts are very valuable!"
Ted: ?
Along the way, as long as there is free time, Sydney will pick herbs and so on. It can be said that no opportunity to generate income will be missed.
"Is there nothing unusual here?" Ted asked.
Sydney shook her head: "Supposedly this season, the valley shouldn't be so quiet. We've been looking here for a long time, but haven't seen any animals come to drink water?"
Ted asked Ansu to check it out. It was flying in the sky with a wide field of vision.
Ansu: I knew it was me. Without me, the team would have to break up!
Sure enough, he found out. A few minutes later, Ansu suddenly sent a message, and Ted quickly connected to the vision.
The scene in front of him stunned him!
It turned out to be a group of humanoid creatures about 1.67 meters, stooped but very strong, covered in spotted fur, and with a jackal head!
This is the Gnoll!
Such well-organized humanoid alien creatures are the targets of unusual attention in the Ministry of Magic of various countries, such as murlocs and kobolds, all of which have detailed investigations and records.
Once there are gathering points, lairs, etc. somewhere, there will often be an official wizard team to clear them.
Because these inherently evil humanoids are often very dangerous, there will be organized killings, aggression and the like.
Ted heard from Arthur Weasley that the British Ministry of Magic even specially organized a "clearer" team, which is composed of the best strikers. It is specially designed to remove this kind of extraterrestrial, very dangerous humanoid creatures.
And these are the more dangerous gnoll race in the Ministry of Magic materials.
Eight years ago, a group of jackals suddenly appeared in Northern Ireland. Forty or fifty directly slaughtered a remote town overnight, causing more than a hundred deaths! They are eaten right away!
The Ministry of Magic clearly stipulates that wizards can kill creatures like jackals directly.
And now, they're ambushing a herd of deer!
This herd of deer seems to have run out of the mountains. The leading stag is white with black spots, and the antlers are majestic and very handsome.
When Ansu found out, the herd of deer had already been ambushed. More than 20 deer were trapped in a place with water on one side and a mountain wall on the other. Then, seven or eight thick gnolls held large knives and screamed excitedly. Called and rushed over.
The white stag headed by it was very powerful, its antlers glowed with green light, and it resisted four or five gnolls like a powerful warrior, but the remaining two or three still rushed into the herd, holding their knives. Hands up and down...
"Ansu, help!" Ted ordered, cutting off the visual connection.
"Follow me quickly, we have met the enemy!"
Ted and Jerry are two wizards after all, there are many ways to travel quickly—such as using Gone~
So the three arrived at the scene in less than five minutes.
At this time, Ansu landed on a big rock by the river and was combing his feathers. The eight jackals on the ground were lying down. They were not dead, but their eyes were wide open, their pupils were dilated, and their red tongues were drooping to one side. deep coma.
These gnolls were all "killed" by Ansu!
Don't underestimate it!
If it is counted now, it is at least a level 10 magical animal, and it is the kind with extremely strong natural abilities.
It is still easy to use special psychic illusion to bring down a few unsuspecting gnolls.
The big white buck stood in front of the severely damaged herd, looking at the three of them warily.
Ted moved aside: "We have no malicious intentions. I can help you heal your wounds, and then you can continue your journey..."
Although Ted has not upgraded the level of psion in the past year, his psychic powers are not without progress.
He carefully polished his abilities and rounded his heart, which is also very rewarding now.
Especially those abilities that existed at the beginning, such as the favorability technique.
Originally, Ted could make other creatures have a certain affection for him, coupled with Ansu's life-saving grace, the Great White Deer finally accepted Ted's kindness.
And the big white deer barked a few times before leaving.
Ansu understood: "It said that something terrible appeared in the mountain, and the animals were running for their lives."
It's just that after the deer herd left, Ted and the others didn't rush to the mountains to look for "that terrible thing".
Instead, the wolf man was discussed.
Ted put his hand on a jackal's forehead and began to search its memory.
To be honest, although these gnolls are also wearing simple leather armor, they can hardly be called "human beings".
That smell on my body! It can't even keep up with the cleaner kennel, it is fishy and smelly, and the smoke makes people's brains hurt.
Gnolls have a low IQ, simple brain circuits, and only a few memories that contain what Ted wants.
"found it!"
Ted washed his hands with a clear spring like water, and harvested the lives of the jackals without a trace.
They are all level 5 to 7 wild monsters, with experience ranging from 300 to 600.
One wave is 3245 experience points!
There are also three cards: [Beast (White)], [Rusty Machete (Grey)], [Tiger Eye (Green)].
Ted is excited!
Besides, in the past, there were absolutely no gnolls in this Hongfeng Valley. Where did these guys come from?
If you don’t understand this matter, Jerry and the others will have trouble sleeping and eating!
The straight-line distance from Dekamond Village is only more than 20 kilometers. Because of the rugged terrain, it takes about ten hours for normal people to get there.
But the jackal man is different. Although it is named "human", this thing still retains strong beast habits, such as cannibalism, and sometimes even raw.
With the foot strength of the wolf man, if he finds Dikamond Village, he can get there in about four or five hours.
This **** is too dangerous!
"We have to find out where these gnolls come from! They are even more dangerous than those panicked beasts!" Sydney looked nervous.
She often goes hunting with the hunting team in the village. Although she has never encountered a wolf man, she has killed water ghosts and kobolds, and even encountered murlocs. Be very wary of these vicious humanoids.
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Mysterious Gnoll (Green)】
Hongfeng River Valley has never seen gnolls in the past ten years, but now you have encountered them, and there are still a lot of them. If you don't find out the reason, you won't even dare to close your eyes while sleeping.
Objective: Find out where these gnolls come from? how many?
Reward: 300 experience points, card [Hogg the Wolf (green)].
Why several jackals died tragically on the riverbank, why the mysterious white deer ran for their lives in panic, and the sub-human village couldn't sleep and eat in the middle of the night. Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral depravity? Please pay attention to "The Wolf Man of Hongfeng Valley". "
OMG!
Massive experience, there are still tasks to be completed, and the potential threat of Decarmond can be eliminated. It would be unreasonable not to check it!
Ted found their source from the memory of the wolf man—a temporary tribe of wolf man, not too big, but not too small either.
Because the IQ of the gnolls is low and they don’t know how to check numbers, they don’t know how many gnolls there are, but Ted estimated from the memory of a few wolves that there are more than 60 and less than 100.
This is estimated based on the amount of food consumed during meals. If there is a ostentatious gnoll like Ron, it must be inaccurate.
Because the IQ is not high, so the memory is fuzzy, the specific location of the wolf man tribe is not very clear, but the approximate location is still known.
So... all three looked at Ansu.
Ansu took off cursing...
About ten minutes later, Ansu sent a signal and found it!
On a high slope, a gathering place of shacks that seemed to have not been built for a long time appeared in Ansu's sight.
There were some jackals with bent backs standing crookedly.
I didn't expect Jackals to know how to stand guard. It's not easy!
