In addition to the piglets, there are also some tattered items in the cave, such as kobold gold mines and candles, but generally speaking, they are of little use and can only be sold for money.
But Levi always felt that the way Donna looked at Piggy didn't look like she was looking at a subordinate or a war beast at all, but more like she was looking at food.
Li Wei secretly speculated, could it be that she had been thinking whether it was better to bake it or stew it to make it more fragrant?
After exiting the cave, they continued to sweep away the surrounding kobolds, goblins and other beasts.
Thanks to the halfling thief Sam's reconnaissance, they were able to detect the enemy in advance every time, and they also had the experience of several previous battles, as well as the powerful support of Amazon Donna. Therefore, although the number of the team was small, the subsequent battles became more and more difficult.
easy.
Ordinary groups of goblins or kobolds will often be killed by them before they get close. In addition, with Levi's summoned elements acting as cannon fodder, there are not many enemies that can actually attack them.
At the same time, the constant fighting also made them gradually realize that the kobolds were indeed losing their troops, and the hobgoblins were indeed haunting various goblin groups. Li Wei felt that it was necessary to report this to the village, and they might be able to get some mission rewards.
of.
In the process of constantly searching for enemies and fighting, Levi also discovered another skill of Donna, that is, she can find herbs in the wild.
According to her, in addition to hunting and taming animals, Amazons are usually very good at using medicinal herbs. After all, after being injured in battle, they can't all go to the priests for treatment, right?
It's just that her skills in this area are not particularly good, and she doesn't have any tools at hand, so the direct manifestation is the simple herbal medicine she processed, and the effect is not ideal, that is, it cannot restore health points, and it cannot be used in battle.
Only in non-combat conditions can you apply them to wounds and rest for a few minutes to remove some lower-level poisoning or bleeding effects and restore a pitiful amount of health.
Of course, according to her, if she returns to the village and buys some professional equipment such as medical shovels and gauze, she can also make some simple bandages, and the effect will be slightly better.
But Li Wei is also very satisfied. After all, he only used the opponent as a thug at the beginning, and now he can tame animals and find herbs. These are completely free skills!
As their cooperation became more tacit and their efficiency improved, Levi soon reached level 2 and once again obtained a random magic list.
Level 1 magic: cold touch, oil on soles of feet, endure elemental damage."
Compared with last time, there is one less level 0 magic and one more level 1 magic. I don’t know if this is a coincidence or because the level of optional magic changes according to its level, but the total number is still 8.
Ignore the offensive magic Cold Touch directly. Low-level mages have limited magic value and low intelligence. Choosing offensive magic is too cost-effective.
It is also a level 1 magic. A summoning element can kill five goblins without even taking a breath. Can a cold touch do it?
After a slight hesitation, he finally chose to apply oil on the soles of his feet, which was also an auxiliary magic. He would rather not be attacked than to be beaten.
Unfortunately, these free magics were too random. If he could choose, he would prefer to obtain other summoning magics.
In this way, he can temporarily use these free cannon fodder to replace melee troops, and then focus more resources on long-range troops, which can further accelerate his growth rate and combat efficiency.
Oiling the soles of the feet, level 1, active skill, consumes 8 magic points, increases your or others' movement speed by 3, the duration is based on intelligence, and increases by 1 minute for every 1 point.
He tried it and found that the effect of this magic was unexpectedly good.
Based on his current agility, the normal walking speed is about 5 and the running speed is 10. However, due to his limited physique, it cannot be sustained for a long time. After converting it to the real world movement speed, about 5 is 5 kilometers per hour, which is the level of ordinary people.
.
After using magic, it suddenly increased by 3, and both items increased by 3. He could more easily distance himself from humanoid mobs such as goblins and kobolds.
If used on Sam, who is already very fast, he will be able to better detect and lure monsters.
Of course, when facing wild dogs, wild wolves and the like, this speed boost is not enough. Their sprint speed within a short distance can often easily reach twenty or thirty.
After killing another group of goblins, he successfully harvested the fifth castanet. Now he was slightly more interested in this task.
Because this thing is distributed in a very wide range, from goblin groups to kobold lairs, to the bellies of wild dogs and the webs of giant jungle spiders, it can be found almost everywhere, as if it is deliberately thrown everywhere.
If it wasn't thrown around, then its original owner's experience would have been a bit miserable, because his limb fragments may have been in and out of the bellies of different beasts and aliens many times.
After another battle with a bunch of giant piranha flowers, Levi found that the reserve of arrows was less than 30%, and several of his subordinates were obviously exhausted physically and mentally.
Except for Donna, who was still fine, everyone else looked a little tired, especially the halfling thief Sam.
Although he rarely had to participate in battles, he was already quite tired just doing reconnaissance before and after each run.
So he decided to return, first get rid of the loot on hand, and then try to recruit a few more subordinates so that the next battle would be more efficient.
Moreover, he is no longer satisfied with hunting enemies such as kobolds. It’s not that he is tired of it. As the chosen hero who likes to play games the most, he has experienced many well-known or unknown games and has been trained.
A fair amount of patience.
The main reason is that except for the hobgoblins who still have some money, leather armor, and spears, the other enemies are too poor. Although the kobold gold mines can be exchanged for some money, there are no other usable equipment.
He felt that it was necessary to change the battlefield. When he suffered heavy losses before, he was chased by various enemies all the way, but it was also a blessing in disguise that he knew where many monsters gathered.
For example, the crocodiles by the river look very bulky and easy to bully. There is a camp somewhere in the wild, and there is a circle of bearded men holding long knives and resting there. They look like bandits. Kill them.
They should be able to provide some equipment.
There are so many, to name a few, he has at least four or five good options.
Of course, others will not have any objections, after all, they are just selling their lives for money.
Amazon even said that she really needed to go back because with the constant fighting, she seemed to have recovered some lost memories and needed to find a quiet place to sort out her thoughts.
In short, she wanted to rest too.
After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but shrugged. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between mercenaries and the subordinates he recruited, that is, the degree of obedience and freedom are different.
But on their way back, they encountered some uninvited guests.
"Sir, I saw a mixed force composed of gnolls, goblins and kobolds in front of us, numbering more than fifty."
"Among them were ordinary gnolls and gnoll bandits armed with sticks, as well as some gnoll poachers armed with crossbows. They also brought a dozen hyenas with them, and they were holding some captives. Among them seemed to be kobolds, orcs, humans and semi-humans.
There are elves, this seems to be a slave-catching group."
"The most important thing is that there is a guy inside who is obviously much stronger than ordinary jackals. He is probably more than two meters tall, and he is using a very rare flail."
While speaking, Sam's face was full of fear, as if he had been frightened before the fight actually started.
Levi suddenly frowned. According to the information in the tavern, except for the coyote, which is a level 0 soldier, the other three types of jackals are all level 1 soldiers. There are so many of them, which is a bit fatal.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know what kind of soldier the two-meter-tall Jackal is. There are only basic text descriptions in the tavern, and there are no corresponding patterns.
"Fail? A special weapon used by gnolls?"
"It is a strange weapon composed of a handle, a chain, and a hammer used for attack. It is very effective against enemies wearing fine armor and equipped with shields. It is usually used by Gnoll barbarians or Gnoll warlords.
The weapons, based on the number of these gnolls, will almost certainly be the warlords."
Turning around, Levi found that Donna's face had become unusually serious. It was obvious that the appearance of the enemy had made her wary.
"The Jackal Warlord? How many levels of strength does it have?"
"Although the military ranks of jackals and hobgoblins are completely different, anyone with the title of warlord must have at least level 3 strength, and may even have an elite template."
Levi's mouth suddenly twitched, Level 3 elite?
My group has only killed level 1 hobgoblins at best so far, and usually Donna conducts long-range sniping and shoots them directly to death. At worst, they are directly entangled by summoned elements, and then Donna shoots them to death.
There was almost no time for the militiamen to fight in close combat, so he didn't even fully understand the hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the hobgoblin, and now he directly encountered such a powerful enemy?
Sam couldn't help but swallowed his saliva after hearing this: "Sir, what should we do? If these jackals are allowed to leave, those unfortunate humans and half-elves may become food."
As far as he knew, gnolls often hunted various humanoid creatures, including but not limited to humans, goblins or kobolds and other races with relatively weak individual strength.
Sometimes they treat each other as slaves, but more often they treat each other as food or stored food.
Only some evil camp races with relatively strong average strength, such as bugbears, hobgoblins, ogres, or trolls, will become unstable allies of the gnolls.
Of course, if the gnolls are hungry and fail to find suitable prey for a while, then whether they are allies or slaves, they will only have one end, that is, they will all become food. This is also the case for their entire race.
One of the reasons they are so notorious.
Although Sam spoke quickly and told Levi all the knowledge he knew, after thinking about it, he still did not make an immediate decision.
There was no way, the strength gap between the two sides was really too big, and after several adventures, especially after recruiting Donna, he didn't want to joke with his life at all.
"Let's take a look first. The grass here is a little low and it's not convenient to hide. There are so many coyotes on the other side. It's easy to be discovered if you get too close. It's unwise to approach or attack rashly. What's more, I don't have enough right now.
of mana."
After a brief explanation, he continued: "And we may not have no chance. You must know that this area is the territory of our high elves!"
At this time, no one raised any objections. Not counting the many powerful races such as angels from other planes, humans, high elves, and dwarves, these three races are undoubtedly the three most powerful races in the justice camp. In comparison,
Come on, small tribes like jackals are not worth mentioning at all!
