It was still the same fixed process, still the same familiar route, and Greem once again set out on the road of inspection.
But there is obviously something different today.
As soon as he stepped onto the gravel path, Grim noticed something strange. Today...these monsters seemed to be extremely excited, and each of them behaved very unusually.
The first stop of the tour was the Killing Woods.
Before approaching the murderous forest, Greem was frightened by today's formation.
The skinny and wrinkled murderous tree was densely packed with carrion crows. Each of them stared with scarlet eyes and kept tilting their heads to look at Greem, but they were strangely silent, completely different from their usual appearance.
To be honest, being stared at by hundreds of carrion crows at the same time would make even the bravest wizard apprentice feel creepy. However, what surprised Grim even more was the silence of these carrion crows. If it were normal times,
, the harsh and unpleasant voices of a dozen carrion crows are enough to disturb the restlessness of chickens and dogs within a radius of 1 mile.
But today...
Judging from their posture, they look like they are waiting for a gluttonous feast.
The knowledge in Greem's mind told him that these carrion crows can only be so quiet and patient when waiting for food. It is said that in the wilderness and desert, these guys can follow the dying travelers for days and nights without rest, just waiting.
Watching the moment when the opponent collapses.
Greem walked slowly on the gravel path, being "welcomed" by hundreds of carrion crows, and surrounded by evil villains with ill intentions.
"Chip, can you scan changes in the surrounding environment? I want to know what's going on here!" Unable to stand this low, depressing and almost solid atmosphere, Greem finally secretly gave the order to the chip.
"Didi, the real-time scanning mission has begun...Establish dynamic monitoring of the surrounding environment...Didi...discovered the source of the unknown smell...in the southeast direction...500 meters away..."
Unknown smell?
Greem was reminded, took a deep breath and tasted it slowly, finally distinguishing a trace of blood smell in the stale and moist water mist. No wonder the monsters looked so excited today! Even he could detect the blood smell and was more sensitive than himself.
Ten times a hundred times, they were of course even more agitated and restless.
Counting the days, today is not the "open day" that happens once a month! Did an outsider break in secretly?
Full of questions, Greem raised his neck and swallowed a bottle of Aylan water, pulled up his hood and hurried straight to the southeast.
Ailan water, a special witch medicine brewed from ailan grass, can effectively close the pores of the whole body and eliminate the leakage of one's own breath. However, the effect is only a short 2-quarters of an hour.
…………
Whispering Garden.
The abandoned garden that was once peaceful and peaceful has now become a frightening and terrifying battlefield.
Before he even got close to here, the terrifying screams of infant monsters, the piercing screams of the undead, and the loud curses of the human mercenaries had already reached Greem's ears. Of course, what attracted him more was the rich and pungent blood.
Wei Greem used the cover of trees and grass to approach the battlefield little by little. Soon, he found a position with excellent sight lines to watch everything in the field at close range.
Two teams are fighting in the field.
The attackers are of course the terrifying baby monsters and undead that have gathered here, while the defenders are a mercenary team of 17 people.
This is a capable and capable mercenary team. Each member is strong and strong. Their equipment is also pretty good, including thick shields made of hardwood, small arm shields and round shields.
With almost everyone having a pair of bows and arrows, hunting ordinary monsters is no problem.
Unfortunately, what surrounded them today was the most terrifying monster in the Whispering Garden - the baby monster.
The baby monsters have no legs. They crawl on the ground with a pair of sharp claws, dragging a long umbilical cord-like thing behind them. They are evil and twisted, and although their bodies resemble human babies, their faces are full of
His skin was wrinkled and dead, his facial features were squeezed together, and his appearance was an ugly mess.
Among the knee-high grass and shrubs, these short little monsters kept burrowing in and out, screaming and cursing one after another. Every sound of a baby's cry would trigger the terrified screams of the human mercenaries.
.
Although these baby monsters are short in stature, each of them has a strength of no less than 5 points, which is already equivalent to the strength of an adult strong man. And their sharp claws are even more terrifying. Every time they fly in the air, they are hit by a shield.
When blocked, deep claw marks will be left on it.
But the most terrible thing is their baby cry curse.
When Grim arrived, the baby monsters were trying to use their bodies to break through the shield defense of the human mercenaries.
Each baby monster used its claws to crawl quickly in the grass, and then took advantage of the situation to volley and try to rush into the shield formation surrounded by the mercenaries, but every time it was blocked by the arm shields of the mercenaries who were waiting for it.
.There was even a baby monster that couldn't escape and was pinned to the ground by the sharp arrows shot by the archers.
The baby monster with its chest and abdomen nailed to the ground was still extremely fierce. While digging the soil with its claws crazily, it half raised its body and let out a shrill baby cry at the nearest human mercenary.
The cry was sharp and harsh, and it might just be an unpleasant noise in the ears of others, but when it fell in the ears of the mercenary holding the big shield, it immediately caused him to fall into a terrifying "spell" effect.
The sturdy mercenary suddenly dropped his shield, covered his ears tightly with his hands, and shouted in horror: "Come and save me... I can't see anything..."
As he roared, his closed eyes suddenly shed two lines of blood and tears, which made people feel horrified and uneasy after seeing it.
There was a rapid rustling sound in the grass, and two more baby monsters emerged, with hideous smiles on their ugly flesh-ball faces. They opened their wrinkled and missing mouths and screamed at the "blind" mercenary.
stand up.
Blindness + madness + confusion!
Even formal wizard apprentices can't resist the curse of the baby monsters, let alone these human mercenaries who were born as mortals. Before the mercenary's companions could knock him unconscious, he had already knocked over everything in front of him crazily.
, stumbled out of the shield wall.
"No... Bazar, come back quickly..."
A middle-aged man dressed like a mercenary captain shouted from behind, but it was too late.
If someone looked down from a high altitude, he could definitely see the grass trembling around the mercenary team, and the rapidly falling lines of grass were aimed directly at the mercenary who was running away in a daze.
"Bazar!" A strong man with a rough face threw off the big shield in his hand, picked up the battle ax and planned to rush to the rescue, but was stopped by the captain.
"Don't go, Tucker! It's too late..." The captain held the strong man's arm with one hand and looked at Bazar's retreating figure from a distance, with a look of sadness and helplessness on his face.
He didn't need to remind him. Soon, in the grass in the distance, Bazar, who was running around, was thrown to the ground by the baby monsters that kept charging. The miserable and painful screams only lasted for a dozen fingers before they suddenly stopped.
It stopped, and all that was left was the terrifying sound of the baby monsters tearing flesh and blood crazily.
Although the mercenaries could not see the scene of the baby monsters eating due to the grass, the swaying grass and the terrifying sound that made their teeth and feet weak were still enough for them to imagine a more terrifying scene. So,
The determination and fighting spirit that had persisted in fighting the monsters to the death inevitably began to decline.
Woo...
Suddenly, a white fireball the size of a human head shot out from the center of the mercenary team, trailing a long tail of black smoke, and landed like a cannonball in the area where the baby monsters gathered to feed.
The next second, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the terrifying elemental flames swelled and engulfed the surrounding space of about ten meters, submerging everything in the raging waves of flames.
With just one blow, nearly twenty of the unsuspecting baby monsters were lost. The 14 baby monsters in the center of the elemental fireball explosion were instantly reduced to ashes, while those on the edge of the explosion area were more or less burned by the flames.
For a moment, the shrill screams of the baby monsters resounded through the sky!
Fire witchcraft?!
Greem, who was observing silently in the dark, was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly roving, and he soon found three suspicious targets in the center of the mercenary team who looked somewhat similar to himself.
The black hooded cloaks covered their bodies tightly, not an inch of skin was exposed, but judging from their body shapes and frames, they should be two men and one woman.
Three wizard apprentices out on the road?
Since he couldn't see the opponent visually, so he couldn't estimate the specific strength. Greem didn't dare to act rashly, so he secretly took out the witchcraft amulet and reported the situation here to the wizard tower.
And in just a moment, the infant monsters who had suffered a great loss actually called out the undead spirits that accompanied them.
The undead that can live with monsters are of course not low-end goods like mummies and skeletons, but some consciousnesses condensed by strong resentment and terrifying malice. They still retain a human-like appearance, but do not have a real body.
, the talent characteristics that can be arbitrarily transformed between reality and reality allow them to ignore most physical attacks and defenses.
From the appearance point of view, they are just a hazy shadow. The head is relatively clear, and the outline of the human face can be clearly seen. The arms are a pair of sharp ghost claws, as if they are real, while the lower body is a blur.
From a distance, it looks like his legs have merged into the void.
As soon as these guys rushed out of the jungle, a soul-stirring and piercing ghost scream filled the sky, and the temperature inside the venue suddenly became a bit colder.
With these dozens of terrifying undead spirits almost covering the sky, the defensive circle that was able to hold on just now collapsed in an instant.
The transformed undead souls rushed into the crowd unscrupulously, completely ignoring the swords, shields and spears in their hands, and scratched horrific blood marks on their bodies with their cold ghost claws. There were even some terrifying undead souls that rushed straight into them.
He entered the body of the mercenaries, occupied their bodies alive, and turned around to attack his companions.
With the gaps they opened, the evil baby monsters continued to break into the battle circle, using their terrible curses to destroy the will of the mercenaries, and then dragged them one by one into the grass to eat.
