really.
As soon as Sauron's words fell, there was a strange sound nearby, and then they didn't even care about the spoils, and they jumped on their horses and fled to the other side. In less than two minutes, a large piece bulged out of the grass next to the road, and then a digger crawled out from the ground. It wasn't over yet, another head came out immediately, and then the third digger appeared nearby.
A small group of four diggers.
The others looked back and immediately broke out in cold sweat.
If Sauron hadn't reminded them to leave immediately, one or two people would have died there by now!
One burrower is so difficult to deal with, and now three of them popped up all at once. Even with the strength of the third-level northern barbarian of the guard captain, there is not much chance of surviving. These three earth diggers can kill half of them with just one round of strong acid spitting, and the remaining people may not be able to last even one round.
This is also the reason why the challenge level of the digger is higher than that of the abyssal serpent!
The diggers found their dead companions. These monsters had a certain beast instinct. They roared sharply in the direction where Sauron and the others were fleeing, and immediately dived into the ground to pursue them, but the speed was obviously not as fast as that of horses. It got out not far away, and kept watching the direction they left.
The wolves will know how to take revenge, not to mention this kind of digger, which is a supernatural creature.
"Thanks to you this time."
The captain of the guard reached out and patted Sauron on the shoulder, then hugged his seriously injured companion tightly, and rode his horse towards the caravan.
Sauron's injury was better, but was corroded by acidic blood.
The condition of the caravan guard who blocked the strong acid spray from the front was not good. Even though there were shields to block a lot, a lot of the splashed acid still fell on his body, and now the skin on many parts of his body was burned and rotted. This is the horror of the strong acid spraying of the burrower, not only with the corrosion and burning of strong acid, but also because the burrower's biological characteristics are not weakly toxic. Fortunately, these are just burrowers. If you encounter wyverns with a challenge level of 15, the acid they spray can even melt full-body armor!
That's the killer thing.
Wyvern's spray attack is second to none below legendary in terms of corrosiveness and toxicity! (Wyverns live in groups too!)
Soon the caravan appeared in front of them.
Those guards reacted very quickly, and someone came over immediately to respond, and at the same time, nearly a third of them drew their weapons and automatically guarded the surroundings of the others. The merchants ordered the men to drive and shout, and asked them to gather the carts together to form a simple formation.
This is a common method used by experienced merchants and can be used to resist the attacks of robbers.
"Take me to see the master."
The captain of the guard took a deep breath, and carried his companion off the horse. In just such a short time, the face of the caravan guard was as pale as paper, not only because of the corrosiveness of the strong acid, but also because of some toxins and Severe blood loss. It is not only the enemy who took their lives in the wild adventure, but also many further aggravated injuries, even though their bodies were far stronger than the former earthlings.
The caravan guards quickly gathered together.
The crossbowmen stood on the cart, and the warriors in leather armor picked up their shields, looking like an army for a while.
Northland merchant.
This is the strongest fighting force among the merchants, because many of the guards they hire are retired soldiers.
Many players who have fallen into bandits once called them hard nuts!
The large carriage guarded by the caravan lifted the curtain, and then a veiled Miaoman woman appeared, she glanced at the injured guard, and said in a concentrated voice: "Clean his wound immediately, and then send him to the carriage. "
finished.
She turned her gaze to Sauron, and said in a concentrated voice, "You too."
"I have a special ointment here, let them apply it to your wound."
The others sent the soldier to clean the wound, and the captain of the guard reported to her what happened before. Everything seemed orderly and there was no panic at all.
And the center of all this order is this mysterious woman!
Descendants of the Northland Witches.
Under her orders, everyone else strictly followed them. The businessman, who was a little flustered at first, also calmed down, and asked someone to take out some healing potions that had been prepared in advance. Northland witches are mysterious and powerful beings. To some extent, they are more dangerous than southern wizards, because they not only master mysterious spells, but also inherit part of the innate abilities of witch doctors.
This was one of the most difficult special occupations to advance to!
(Advanced requires level 3, spellcasting level 5, and prophecy ability.)
The seriously injured person was quickly brought over, and the captain of the guard personally applied the medicine for him, and then poured down a bottle of healing potion.
Sauron's injury was not serious, but Vivienne still smeared him all over his body as if he was facing an enemy, and carefully bandaged the injury on his thigh, not caring about wasting these precious plasters at all.
He even fed Sauron another bottle of healing potion with his own hands!
Little girls rarely cry when they grow up.
Many times when she saw Sauron being injured, she would silently help him deal with the wound. She would never cry like other little girls. The tacit understanding between the two of them when they were young has already made her the perfect person for Sauron when he needs to kill someone. The one she could always help set fire to.
Even though she is very kind in nature!
"Digger?"
The mysterious woman frowned slightly, and after glancing at Sauron next to her, she asked the captain of the guard, "What should we do now?"
"Go ahead?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on the face of the captain of the guard, and he said immediately, "I don't know much about the habits of this creature."
"Maybe he'll know better!"
Everyone present looked at Sauron. Sauron was making the little girl with slightly red eyes happy with lame jokes. After the little girl pulled his sleeves, they realized that everyone was watching. Looking at himself, he hurriedly said: "Earth diggers are very stubborn creatures, and they rarely leave their range of activities!"
"There must be a reason why they're here now."
"but."
"Since they have come here, they will not leave in a short time."
"So there are only two ways."
"One is that we kill them, otherwise they will definitely attack when the caravan passes by."
"The other is to bypass them and go by another road."
"This creature is not going to track us."
detour.
The mysterious woman frowned, and immediately ordered: "Norod!"
"You lead someone to kill them."
Her tone was unquestionable, and the captain of the guard named Norode did not hesitate at all, and immediately said in a deep voice: "As you wish."
"Owner."
"I will take someone to solve these troubles now."
After finishing speaking, he had already started to prepare manpower. He asked people to take out some shields, leaving half of the people to protect the caravan, and the other half to deal with the diggers with him. Most of the caravan called the mysterious woman their master, which meant that she had a noble status. Even if the others were not her slaves, they were her servants.
Regarding the identity of this mysterious woman, Sauron couldn't help but feel curious!
Northland Witch.
This group of women can have their own territory in the kingdom of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and they are definitely not simple roles!
Not to mention they are a dangerous group of wizards.
Sauron thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let me go too."
"I have some experience with these things."
"I want to come."
"It will be much easier to kill them too."
After speaking, he comforted Vivienne, saying that he would be fine, and then got on his horse and followed.
Because it was just accompanying, the hostess of the caravan didn't ask Sauron to act together, which was the most basic respect, but the captain of the guard still took a look at Sauron when he gathered the men, obviously hoping that he would go there together.
The mysterious woman nodded slightly.
The captain of the guard came to Sauron's side on horseback, and said in a deep voice, "Don't do anything later."
"Just tell us the bugs' weaknesses."
Sauron touched the scimitar, moved his body a little, felt the impact of the injury on himself, and then said, "I know."
"Let people prepare more shields."
"These bugs can unleash a deadly spray of acid that normal leather armor won't do at all."
"I'll find a way to lure them out later."
After killing the burrower with a single blow, Sauron gained more than 900 killing experience points. After raising his professional level to the second level, Sauron needs 3000 experience points to be promoted to a level 6 thief. The current experience definitely cannot be obtained only by unlocking locks and disarming traps, he must go up and use a knife to chop monsters himself.
With so many people taking action this time, it is a relatively safe and secure way to earn experience!
It is best to get another 900 points of killing experience.
After all, there are not many chances of encountering this kind of monster in the future, and he doesn't have much confidence in killing it alone.
Normal adventure.
Even if he cleared out a small-scale (15-30) kobold group alone, plus an awakened kobold warlock, the killing experience he gained was only about 800 points.
If there is an opportunity to improve his own strength, he will not let go of this opportunity!
