It was just dawn.
A figure shuttled through the dense forest. The forest at the moment was really a primeval forest. There was no sign of a road at all. If Sauron's clothes were not strong enough, he would have been cut several times after walking for a while. All kinds of small animals can be seen everywhere in the woods. The number of squirrels and hares is the largest, followed by various birds. It has to be said that places without human activities are indeed full of vitality. No wonder Druids would repel others to destroy the forest so much.
For this reason, they even fought several times and killed many people.
Following the direction given by the militia captain, Sauron quickly came to the edge of the woods.
The time is about noon.
There are obvious signs of deforestation nearby, and intelligent creatures in the wilderness will also establish gathering places, and some large-scale gnolls will also establish their own camps. Sauron didn't dare to get too close, because his current stealth ability still couldn't achieve the effect of invisibility, but it would become hazy in the shadows, and he couldn't find it unless he looked carefully. As for quietly touching the enemy's back, it requires skill and environment, especially for those hostile creatures.
Invisibility is not considered a real disappearance, and sensitive enemies can still tell that someone is approaching.
The biggest advantage of stealth is that you can escape into the shadows at any time. In many cases, once you leave the enemy's sight, it is not so easy for him to find you again.
Although the thief's backstab ability is powerful, it requires too many conditions to activate it.
Sauron walked around the area around the shadows, and he found three wolf man guards. There would also be old and weak women and children among the large-scale wolf men. When the adults went out to hunt, some stayed behind to guard. There is no house in the gathering place of the wolf man, but it is surrounded by a circle of wood. They know how to make fire and make equipment, but they are limited to making leather armor. Female Gnolls will peel off the skin of their prey and sew it into leather armor in a crude way.
Some gnolls will use weapons to fight, and if they are not advanced, they will still use minions.
"There are three guards, the number of this group should be quite a lot."
Sauron took out the crossbow and filled it with a poisoned crossbow bolt. It was impossible to sneak in in broad daylight, because the nearby field of vision was so good that the gnoll could spot him just by looking at it. . Only 150 points of stealth can achieve the effect of invisibility, and it must be in the shadows, he is still dozens of points short of skills. Although the effect of the invisibility technique is invisible to the eyes, the slight noise when moving and the flow of air still exist.
Therefore, to deal with enemies with blind combat expertise and high perception, the skill points of stealth must be very high!
Sauron's goal was to gain killing experience, not to clean up this group of gnolls. Naturally, he didn't need to storm the camp. He circled around and hid in the nearby grass, then crawled on the ground, touching the ground bit by bit. past. Swaggering across the front, even with invisibility is useless, the footprints and things you step on when you walk will reveal your position, and it will be more clear if it is the ground with water. When wizards cast invisibility, they will cooperate with lightness and foot oiling.
There will be some permanently invisible creatures in the shadow plane. Sauron has fought against them before, and they are difficult enemies.
The Jackal was wearing leather armor.
Sauron frowned and moved closer. If he didn't hit the vital point, the lethality of the crossbow penetrating the leather armor would be weakened. Even if he didn't plan to use the crossbow to kill the enemy, he still needed to ensure that the poison could seep into the blood.
Wordy!
A jackal suddenly let out a scream, and the nearby guards were alarmed when they left, and there was even a commotion in the camp.
Sauron quickly reloaded the crossbow and shot at another nearby wolf man.
The Wyvern's venom can take effect very quickly. He pulled out his scimitar and rushed over. These gnolls have a creature level of 3, and often have 1-3 fighter abilities, so it is not so easy to deal with them.
"Aww!"
Facing Sauron's surprise attack, the wolf man's first reaction was not to surround him, but to howl to call his companions.
Gnolls don't stay in the enclave forever.
They will look for prey during the day, try to hunt if it is a beast, and quietly stalk them if it is a humanoid creature, and then launch a sneak attack in the evening and night.
As carnivores, they have large appetites and can eat up any amount of prey.
When they are very hungry, they will also eat grass root mushrooms. Gnolls spend most of their time hunting and preparing for hunting.
A Gnoll can eat as much as a full-grown tiger.
They are the most voracious and hungry wild creatures.
Three adult Gnolls, one with minions, one with a bone hammer, and one with a crude mace.
Sauron's advantage is not obvious.
The height of this creature can reach about 2.2 meters, the weight is about 300 pounds, the head is similar to that of a coyote, the skin is mostly gray, the color of the mane is messy, but the overall color is dark. Their strength and agility are higher than humans, and can reach more than 15 points, but their intelligence is relatively low. There may be priests who worship the god of gnolls, but basically there are very few wizards and warlocks.
There was the echoing howl of wolves in the distance.
Sauron raised his scimitar and slashed down. The light of the knife hit the wolf man's arm, cutting off half of his claw. There was a dull breaking wind sound behind him, he had no time to dodge, he could only roll forward, and at the same time he swung his knife and cut the Gnoll's ankle, only one-third of the Wyvern's venom was left, and he had already Smeared on the scimitar.
bump!
The mace hit the ground, creating a dent. If it landed on the head, it would instantly splatter the brains. Many of them like to use heavy weapons, because it is convenient to smash bones, and bone marrow is the ultimate delicacy for gnolls. An obviously smaller Gnoll rushed out, as well as two small hyenas.
—Shadow attack.
Sauron had expected the number of enemies, and one of them swung his knife and stabbed the first poisoned Gnoll to death.
A row of data emerges:
"Kill the Gnoll Warrior!..."
"Target died!... Gained 270 killing experience points!..."
call!
The sound of the weapon breaking through the air sounded, and Sauron waved his knife to block it, and his figure took a step back. He kicked his legs forward in an instant, and directly crashed into the wolf man's arms from the front, a disgusting smell and fishy smell Tangy, he pierced the machete from the opponent's abdomen without hesitation, then twisted his waist and moved sideways to cut a 20 cm long opening, a large piece of blood and intestines spilled out. The Gnoll, who was so seriously injured, was still alive. It stuffed its intestines back with its claws, and swung the bone smasher again to smash it.
A throwing knife was thrown out.
Instantly hitting the opponent's throat, this finally became the last straw to crush the enemy. The wolf man let out a low growl, knelt down powerlessly on the ground, and then fell down with a plop.
Large pieces of blood spilled out, and intestines spilled on the ground.
The coyote howled and pounced on Sauron's leg. He turned around and kicked it out, kicking it flying, and then blocked the side attack with a scimitar. The heavy force forced him to kneel on one knee. Unloading, then the horizontal knife deflected the opponent's weapon, while turning around and stepping, the machete cut a hole in the opponent's leg.
Another coyote rushed over and bit his throat with a bloody bite.
Sauron smashed it with the handle of the knife in an instant, hitting the coyote on the nose on the spot, and a stream of blood spattered. Although the injury was not fatal, the pain made the coyote howl and retreat.
There were wolves howling one after another in the distance, and it seemed that the hunting gnolls were coming back soon.
Sauron pounced on the last Gnoll warrior. The wyvern's venom had already begun to take effect, and the opponent's reaction speed slowed down significantly.
"die!"
At the moment when the figures of the two sides intersected, Sauron knelt on his knees and slid forward to avoid the mace, then held the scimitar with both hands and slashed at the opponent's leg.
The forward jackal lost his balance in an instant, and one of his legs had already been severed in the gushing blood.
clang!
The smaller she-wolf pounced on Sauron, threw him to the ground, and bit his throat with sharp fangs, but Sauron turned his head in an instant, and the opponent bit him on the shoulder. On the leather armor. The sharp fangs pierced the leather armor, but they didn't hurt the shoulder, only bit the skin.
Pooh!
A gust of blood splattered, and Sauron stared out with all his strength. While flying the she-wolf away, he chopped off a wolf's head with a knife in his backhand.
Wordy!
He calmly reloaded the crossbow, and shot the last Gnoll guard who crawled over to death. The coyote ran away whining, and was shot in the waist by his arrow. The wolf man in the distance had returned, and the sound was about 500 meters away from Sauron. He entered the camp with the scimitar firmly in hand, and a circle of wolf cubs stared at him fiercely, uttering threatening growls from time to time.
Blood splattered.
Sauron swung his knife and killed five wolf cubs less than one or two years old, and then quickly fled into the forest, blending into the shadows.
The battle has only just begun.
He had to make those gnolls completely lose their minds before he could kill more targets.
