Gnolls are very scary monsters. Compared to the large but weak goblins, they are smaller in number but more dangerous. Once they move in groups, even trolls will have to go around them.
Adult gnolls are quite burly, generally over two meters tall, and powerful. They have gray-green skin and dark yellow fur. They like to hunt humanoid creatures for food and are typical nocturnal carnivores.
These jungle hunters are accustomed to thinking in their stomachs and have a special hobby for the screams of their prey. The humans who fall into their hands are miserable. They must suffer cruel bites before being devoured, and they can die after repeated torture.
Compared to goblins who become chaotic when their numbers are large, gnolls are more disciplined. They will come up with all kinds of cunning ways to fill their stomachs. When they are in large numbers, they will not hesitate to launch a strong attack.
The Black Forest has been particularly lively recently, with human adventurers coming to hunt for treasures coming one after another. With Harmony Village as their base, and the accurate maps and intelligence provided by Zhou Qingfeng, the adventurers have continued to advance.
For the jackals deep in the forest, more and more prey have come to their doorsteps recently. They began to try to take the initiative. It happened that such a jackal collided with the team led by Zhou Qingfeng.
If we hit each other, we'll fight!
Many humanoid creatures with coyote heads rushed out of the dense fog in the forest. They wore foul-smelling leather armor, opened their fangs and sharp teeth, and let out ear-piercing howls.
Gnolls only have crude weapons in their hands, but they are experienced hunters. When attacking, they constantly change their positions and use the cover of trees to quickly close the distance with their prey. Ordinary adventurers will be confused by the tricks they play.
The rookie bodyguards obviously had little combat experience, but they still had Sophia's unified command. The sword and shield hand in front of them could not grasp the shield, so they abandoned the shield and held the sword when ordered to meet the attack.
The two gnolls naturally separated to the left and right, outflanking and attacking. The companion beside the sword and shield man quickly pushed into the gap on his left and right, using his shield to protect his two wings.
The fight instantly became intense, and the swordsman in front of him stared with red eyes. He yelled, stared at the jackal on his right, and then slashed. The weapons of both sides collided, causing shock and severe pain in the tiger's mouth.
.
The two-meter-tall jackals were twice as powerful as ordinary humans. The bone sticks they held easily swung away the swordsmen's swords, but were blocked by the defensive shields - there was a muffled sound, and the three rookies were covering each other.
Wei was easily knocked down by two jackals.
The difference in strength is huge.
The sword and shield hand of the sword and the bone club were cut together. The jackal holding the stick pulled hard, but the sword and shield hand who fell to the ground did not let go of the sword. The jackal on the other side took advantage of the situation to give him a blow and an arrow.
The arrow came with a whoosh and hit his chest.
The body of the jackal that was hit by the arrow shook. Although its foul-smelling rough leather armor looked poor, its defensive power was quite good. This arrow angered it even more, and it swung again. The second arrow whizzed.
It shot forward and penetrated its open mouth at close range.
The fallen guards took the opportunity to get up and attack with gritted teeth. One of them was kicked away by the jackal, but the other two successfully slashed their opponents. The injured jackal retreated and swept across again with his stick.
, still full of strength.
A rookie guard holding a shield was hit by a bone club, his arm bones were shattered, and he screamed and fell down. The other man fought back desperately, but the frantic jackal simply opened his bloody mouth and tried to bite his head off - another whoosh.
An arrow came to the rescue and penetrated the jackal's neck.
The battle was short but fierce. The guard swordsman and shieldman in front of him fell to the ground, his chest collapsed, vomiting blood, and he couldn't live. He opened his eyes as he was dying and looked around, but found that it was quiet around him, and the jackals had retreated.
When Zhou Qingfeng came up from behind, the sword and shield wielder could only sigh weakly: "I'm sorry, Sir Hugo, we tried our best."
"Justen, there is a seriously injured person here." Zhou Qingfeng shouted, and then said to the fallen sword and shield hand: "Don't worry, you can't die. This is my responsibility. You are not strong enough yet, you need to eat more
Just practice more.”
The 'Blight Priest' came up, briefly looked at the wounded on the ground, and used divine magic to treat them. Although there was no way to restore these rookies' fighting power immediately, at least they were saved from the hands of death.
The sudden battle ended. Not long after more than 20 jackals launched their attack, they knew they had hit an iron plate. Five or six corpses were left behind, and the others quickly fled - this human team was too strong, and just hope
Li's accurate shooting is very deadly.
Someone was taking care of the wounded, while Zhou Qingfeng went to check on a few stinking Jackals. Of the three arrows just now, the one that hit the Jackal's chest was shot by him with a light crossbow - he thought it was a fatal blow, but who knew this
Monsters have no business.
He poked the tattered leather armor with his bǐ shǒu. It was hard and thick and could not be penetrated with all his strength. Zhou Qingfeng was greatly surprised. Justen, who had finished the treatment, also came over to take a look and said in surprise: "These are two feet."
The skin of the flying dragon is very defensive."
The smelly leather armor was peeled off, and Justen confirmed its material, but shook his head and sighed: "The jackal's leather-making skills are too poor, and a large piece of good leather was wasted. Now we can only recycle it a little, and maybe we can still
For ordinary soldiers to use."
Only some tattered leather was recovered, and these jackals basically left nothing good for Zhou Qingfeng. Their weapons were all bone arrows, bone clubs, and not even a bit of metal could be seen. But these monsters were really strong, tall and strong.
Zhou Qingfeng asked Justen, "These monsters are just dead, do you want to extract their vitality?"
Justen shook his head and said: "Although they are very strong, the living conditions in the Black Forest are too harsh. Monsters generally have serious diseases and parasites, and their vitality is not strong. We don't like the vitality from monsters, humans."
That’s the best.”
Zhou Qingfeng curled his lips after hearing this, and after comforting the newly injured Guards, everyone continued to move forward. The team did not advance very fast, and only traveled less than five kilometers during the day. They had to find a place with water to camp before nightfall.
Even if there are only a dozen people, camping in the wild requires setting up camp. Everyone has to work hard to cut down trees and build simple wooden walls and barriers. If a monster attacks, these simple facilities can save lives.
Zhou Qingfeng's team is extremely luxurious. Not only are they powerful, but the 'Swift Shadow' also carries a variety of tools and supplies. Apart from a lot of nonsense, this Abyss Demon Horse is almost perfect in other aspects.
"I am a war horse, a war horse. Why do you want me to do this kind of work?" 'Jiying' raised his hoof to express that he had been wronged. "This is Ma Shan being bullied. You are so abominable. I am carrying these things."
None of the things are for my own use."
The Abyss Demon Horse carried three to four hundred kilograms of logistical supplies, and everyone in the team loaded and unloaded it on its back, preparing to sleep out at night. However, everyone ignored its complaints and smiled at them.
It wasn't until Zhou Qingfeng came over that 'Jiying' stopped talking and lowered his voice and asked: "Master, don't you think there is a traitor in our team? That guy left many marks along the way, I can see them
Clearly."
Zhou Qingfeng said nonchalantly: "In our current loose system, it is impossible not to be sneaked in. Rather than letting those enemies hide, it is better to put them in the open. As for the enemies who are following us,
There will be traces to follow.
