Chapter 560: Barbarians who suffered heavy casualties
About forty minutes later, a large amount of death air was ejected from the space crack again. As the surrounding space began to ripple like water waves, dark creatures finally appeared at the mouth of the space crack.
Roar!
The first one to appear was still the skeleton soldier. When the skeleton soldier saw Nalant and others more than ten meters away, he immediately roared and charged straight at them, waving the broken sword in his hand.
These skeleton soldiers had no wisdom, and even turned a blind eye to the sacred thorns in front of them that could restrain them, and then happened to bump into a sacred thorn.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Wow!
The moment the skeleton soldier hit the sacred thorns, wisps of black energy erupted from his body.
In just three or four seconds, the strange green light in its head dimmed until it disappeared.
As the crashing sound came, the originally arrogant skeleton soldier turned into a pile of broken bones.
"Not bad!" Nalant was very satisfied with the effect.
Ho ho ho!
When the first skeleton soldier just died, the following dark creatures gradually came out of the space cracks. Among them were more than ten skeleton soldiers, three hell dogs and a death knight!
Then one by one they roared angrily, and these dark creatures rushed towards Nalant and the others.
However, these dark creatures were still like skeleton soldiers, not caring about the sacred thorns in front of them. Many dark creatures rushed in front of the sacred thorns and directly bumped into them.
Even hell dogs are still rampaging.
Seeing how stubborn these low-level dark creatures were, Nalant finally felt relieved.
The only disappointment is that there is no death knight appearing this time, which means that he cannot harvest energy points this time.
"Longbowmen Squad! Shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Just a wave of arrows, and a few skeleton soldiers who slipped through the net were taken away.
The Headless Horseman and Hell Hounds were also easily dispatched by the Storm Riders.
"Ding, the system side task of eliminating the threat of space cracks has been completed, and the system task of unexpected surrender has been issued!"
"Ding, although the threat of space cracks has been restrained, in the past ten days, thousands of dark creatures have penetrated deep into the grassland. As a pioneer lord who wants to conquer the grassland, you need to go and check the depths of the grassland.
Situation, solve all the fish that slipped through the net!"
"New system branch mission: Go deeper into the grassland and destroy all dark creatures!"
"Task reward: a piece of news that interests you!"
"Well, interesting news? What kind of news could it be?" Narant listened to the system's voice and was quite curious.
As for continuing to go deep into the grassland, even if the system does not issue a mission, he is still ready to go and explore.
Of course, his original plan was to take a look at the losses of the barbarians. After all, he would have to carry out the development order after spring.
Although the appearance of space cracks this time is a disaster, who can say that it is not a good thing?
At least this incident was a mixed blessing for Narant.
Because the dark creatures that appeared in the space crack did not go to the Storm Territory immediately, but went to attack the barbarian tribes on the grassland.
In this way, no matter how powerful the barbarians are, facing thousands of dark creatures, they will definitely lose a lot of combat power. This will be of great help to Nalant in opening up the grassland.
Now that he has obtained the system mission, Nalant is ready not to stay any longer.
At present, there were fifty long archers and ten storm knights left here, and he led the remaining men towards the grassland.
I believe that with the presence of the sacred thorns and these sixty subordinates, it should be enough to deal with it, and it can also be divided into two waves for rotation.
After leaving the space rift, Nalant headed southwest. Because it was winter, he couldn't see any difference between the scenery in the depths of the grassland and the edges.
Guided by the traces left by Xiao Huihui and the previous dark creatures, Nalant and others marched for most of the day, and finally came to a place with traces of barbarian life.
"Sir, this should be the camp of the Fire Tribe. You see, these animal skin tents have their tribe's logo on them."
The camp where Narant and others arrived had no fences and was not small in scale. There were hundreds of tents alone.
Of course, the camp was now in ruins. Apart from the cold corpses scattered on the ground, the only ones left were swaying tents.
It's obvious that this camp has been visited by dark creatures.
After checking around, Da Shitou and others saw that there were at least thousands of barbarian corpses in the camp. They returned with a heavy heart to report to Nalant.
There are a total of three large barbarian tribes on this grassland, among which the barbarians of the Fire Tribe are the strongest. Now it seems that the Fire Tribe has not been able to avoid being attacked by dark creatures.
Although they belong to different tribes, and they even had a conflict with the third son of the leader of the Fire Tribe, they still feel a little sad when they see this scene.
At that time, there were at least millions of barbarians, but after fighting with the nobles, only tens of thousands of people were left on the grassland to survive.
And now it seems that these tens of thousands of people may have dropped sharply again!
"Let's go, Big Stone, let's move on!" Because he was a noble, Nalant didn't say anything to comfort him. He just patted Big Stone on the shoulder and then led the team to move on.
Now that the camp has been destroyed and the dark creatures are no longer here, there is nothing to stay here.
This journey lasted four days. During these four days, they passed by at least a dozen large and small barbarian camps.
Moreover, these camps belonged to three major tribes, but all the camps had been visited by dark creatures when they arrived. The camps were in a mess and corpses were everywhere.
A rough estimate is that at least tens of thousands of barbarians were killed by dark creatures.
Of course, even if some savages were not killed, they would freeze to death in the wilderness because they left the camp.
Anyway, Nalant and the others had seen hundreds of people freezing to death and sleeping in the snow along the way.
At noon that day, while Nalant and others were marching, Xiao Huihui suddenly returned from the front.
"Sir, Xiao Huihui said that there are many barbarians ten miles ahead, and these barbarians are fighting dark creatures!"
"Oh? Have you finally seen a living savage?" Nalant was a little excited after hearing this. He was really afraid that all the savages would die.
Although he wanted to occupy the entire grassland, he also wanted to win some from the barbarians.
After all, barbarians have great advantages in both combat and work.
As long as I can subdue them, like people like Da Shitou, the development speed of the territory will definitely go further.
"Everyone, move forward at full speed!" After receiving the news, Nalant immediately accelerated the team's progress.
An hour and a half later, they arrived more than two miles away from the battlefield Xiao Huihui mentioned.
Nalant did not approach immediately, but chose a high slope for everyone to hide, then took out his telescope and began to observe the battlefield ahead.
