The male lion opposite, contrary to its majestic image, is actually as timid as a mouse.
When he saw a strong man with a beard walking towards him, carrying a sharp axe, he let out a strange cry in fear, like a cat with its hair exploded, and turned around and ran away.
The scarecrow Vita was standing behind the lion and was unexpectedly hit by him.
The poor scarecrow, weighing less than ten kilograms, was hit hard by the strong lion. He screamed and flew up, waving his arms in the air in vain, tumbling and floating far away, and fell into the bushes in an upside-down position.
.
The Tin Woodman's eyes turned cold, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the lion. When he opened his mouth, he looked like a knight.
"Stop! You rude fellow, you knocked my friend away! Don't even think about leaving here until you apologize to Vita!"
"Wow! The Tin Man can talk! It's so weird! It's so weird!"
The lion was frightened again and rushed forward in panic.
Perhaps it was because the mechanical joints were wet with morning dew and were a little rusty. The Tin Woodman's reaction was half a beat too slow. As soon as he raised the axe, the lion had already rushed forward and knocked him to the ground with a swoop.
It rolled into the bushes and got stuck between tree roots, unable to stand up for a while.
At this time, Ma Yun received a mission prompt from the system, asking her to unite with the remaining teammates to teach this reckless beast a lesson.
"Brother Fei! Sister Feng! It's weird!"
"Okay! Show this guy a little color!"
Jiang Feng activated "Rage" and his power soared.
Then he threw a "taunt", pulled the lion over, and charged forward with the battle ax on his shoulder.
Gao Fei put on the "Warlock Mask" and started with an "Entangle Technique", creating countless activated vines wherever the lion was, stably controlling the field.
Then he opened the astrolabe and looked at the lion's illustration.
…
·Dimitri (Lion of Enlightenment)
Absolutely neutral, large magical beast (enlightenment subspecies)
Special Abilities: Sense of smell, toughness, alertness, dexterity, curses, cowardice (disadvantage on Will saves against fear)
Special attacks: Power attack, multiple attacks (two claws, or one claw and one bite), grab (bite followed by a grapple, two claws), pounce (run up in a straight line for at least
After 10 feet, the attack roll this round gains advantage, and the damage die is doubled)
…
Judging from the data, this enlightened lion named Dimitri has much stronger fighting power than ordinary lions. He is indeed the most powerful teammate beside the heroine in the original work.
Just like the original setting, this guy is a coward.
The original work of "The Wizard of Oz" does not explain why the lion is timid. This game module adapted from the original work proposes a more reasonable explanation - being "cursed".
From the Lion's "Curse of Cowardice", Goofy thinks of the Scarecrow's "Curse of Inferiority" and the Tin Woodman's "Curse of Indifference".
If nothing else, this is another good deed done by Evanora, the Witch of the East!
At the same time, Ma Yun was not idle either.
First, apply "Mage Armor" and "Shield Technique" on yourself to maximize your defense, then make a series of gestures, and a pale ray containing negative energy bursts out from your fingertips!
"nucumna!"
The mantra symbolizing "weakening" echoed over the battlefield, and this "weakening ray" accurately hit the lion Dimitri.
Unfortunately, it failed to break through the opponent's Fortitude save.
Fortunately, the "ray of weakening" can still take effect for 1 round if the recipient succeeds in saving throws.
During this period, the lion's attack roll was at a disadvantage. He chose the lower die and swung two claws in succession, but failed to hit Jiang Feng's berserker. Instead, he was knocked to the ground by the "earthquake shock".
Gao Fei seized the opportunity to release the "Whip of Thorns" and wrapped it around the lion that had just turned over and climbed up, causing 3 points of whip damage and pulling it back 10 feet.
Dimitri finally broke out of the vines and was dragged back to the area controlled by the "Entanglement Technique" by Gao Fei. During this period, he was attacked by Jiang Feng, who was chopped to pieces and bleeding.
Call.
The battle continued for another round. The Cowardly Lion lost more than half of his health and his morale collapsed. He turned around and ducked into the bushes, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared without a trace.
"Hurry up and catch up! Don't let the lion get away!"
Ma Yun had just received a system prompt that the next stage of the main mission was to track down the Cowardly Lion Dimitri.
"Don't worry, go and repair the Scarecrow and Tin Man before chasing the lion." Jiang Feng said to Ma Yun.
"Sister Feng, the lion won't run too far, right?"
Ma Yun asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, richest man. There are traces of the lion's blood in the grass. If we follow the blood traces, we will surely catch him."
Gao Fei smiled and comforted his classmate Xiao Ma.
Ma Yun felt relieved, first helped the Tin Woodman stand up, and then dragged the Scarecrow out of the bushes.
Nick the Tin Woodman was intact, but Vita the Scarecrow's belly was punctured by a branch, revealing a handful of hay.
Ma Yun stuffed the hay back into Vita's belly and used a "repair technique" to sew up the cracks in his belly.
The adventure team regrouped and followed the lion's blood trail into the dense forest.
After walking about two hundred meters, a gurgling stream appeared ahead, blocking the blood trail.
At this time, the system sent a prompt, requiring everyone to make a DC10 "Tracking (Survival)" check to determine the direction in which the lion was escaping.
Jiang Feng's Berserker received the bonus specialty "Survival Expert", Tracking Skill 6, and had an advantage in the test.
“It’s just dc10, it’s so easy!”
Jiang Nuxia successfully passed the tracking test and confirmed that the lion did not cross the stream, but waded through the shallow stream and fled upstream.
Everyone walked upstream along the stream bank until they reached the foot of the mountain, where they again found blood stains in the grass.
This is where the lion left the stream and waded ashore.
Continuing to follow the blood trail, I saw a cave not far away.
Ma Yun cast a spell to create four small flying light balls. The light balls flew into the cave by remote control, dispelling the darkness in the cave.
Under the guidance of "Dancing Lights", Gao Fei and others entered the cave and found that the depths of the cave were covered with dry and soft leaves, which looked like a large cat nest. They also found several golden manes on the leaves.
Obviously, this cave is the lair of Dimitri, the Lion of Enlightenment.
There was no trace of the lion in the empty cave, but there was a disturbing and evil atmosphere.
