Another day later, the migration team of the Frost Troll tribe arrived near the Alva family manor.
The rotational care activities began after the tunnel was dug, and today it was Duncan's turn to be on duty.
He climbed up to the study room of the manor house that had not yet collapsed. Through the study window, he observed the forest in the direction of the mountains.
Only a few days had passed, and Duncan's vigilance had not been worn away by time. He soon noticed something unusual in the forest.
He looked deeper into the woods with slightly squinted eyes, carefully identifying whether the environment had changed.
An unusual sound of wind suddenly penetrated Duncan's ears through the half-open window, and many swaying figures appeared under the withered autumn leaves.
Duncan immediately widened his eyes, held his breath nervously, and checked repeatedly until the troll's scout appeared in his field of vision. He was so frightened that he immediately squatted down and pressed his back gently against the wall to calm down the constant beating due to nervousness. heart.
coming! It’s really here! Troll!
The large-scale war between trolls and humans ended long ago in the last century. The trolls completely lost. Human wisdom defeated the ugly trolls and scattered them into countless small tribes.
If they didn't live in a forest near the border, it would be difficult for ordinary humans to encounter trolls.
Today was the first time Duncan saw a troll, and just a brief glance triggered the remaining fear in ancient human genes.
Especially after Bourne talked about his experience, this fear became even deeper.
You have to go back and tell Boss Xiang En!
Duncan immediately stood up from the ground, carefully climbed to the ground along the exposed steel building materials, and walked lightly through the rearranged building ruins, spreading a lot of dust along the way.
The entrance to the basement has been blocked by a stone slab. After Duncan got inside along the gap left, he pushed it gently so that the stone slab could slowly slide down the trap door and cover the entrance.
The simple chain mechanism was triggered, and a small handful of dust fell onto the stone slab, creating the illusion that there had been no human activity for a long time.
Total elimination is impossible, they can only be disguised as much as possible.
Duncan went into the tunnel to report the news, and the trolls also discovered the strange manor as expected.
The scouts of the Frost Troll tribe discovered the camouflage of the mysterious totem with keen sense. The trolls who were more familiar with totem magic soon discovered the Alva family's manor through the weak flow of natural magic.
The two troll scouts were shocked when they saw that the ordinary forest in front of them suddenly turned into the ruins of a manor. After muttering a few words, one of the scouts turned around to inform the leader.
After receiving the report from the troll scouts, the troll leader took two steps forward with a bone spear and led several warriors from the tribe to take the initiative to walk through the thunder.
The leader of the tribe is to lead the charge with his followers. They are not like human leaders who hide behind the army and command.
The old and young trolls slowed down and were protected by strong troll warriors in the middle.
They have encountered many attacks by zombie beasts these days. The extraordinary strong men of the small troll tribes are almost extinct. Only the last main line of the troll tribe in a mysterious place knows that the end is coming. The other small tribes are almost extinct. The troll tribe doesn't even know there is such a thing as doomsday.
So at first the frost troll tribe took many detours when facing the zombie beasts, such as simply treating the wounds and roasting the flesh of the zombie beasts to eat...
At the cost of the death of nearly a hundred trolls, they realized how terrifying the zombie beasts were, and began to consciously protect themselves, no longer fighting with injuries in exchange for lives.
The leader of the trolls passed through the edge of the mysterious totem and saw the incompletely collapsed house in the distance. He was wary, but not too serious.
Because this is just a ruin, it is probably in a state where no one exists.
Thinking of this, the troll leader led his men into the area covered by the totem.
Poof!
At this moment, python-like vines suddenly appeared from the ground under the trolls' feet, entangled towards them.
The unprepared trolls suffered a sudden attack. Six trolls who had no time to dodge had their legs bound by vines.
The vines that broke out of the ground were still emerging. The troll leader reacted quickly and stepped back to avoid the entanglement of the vines.
Multiple vines continued to wrap around the trolls, and the trolls began to swing their weapons to chop down the vines that appeared underground.
Facing vines as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, the trolls used the sharp bone knives and strong strength in their hands to easily split the vines emerging from the ground.
As long as a hole is cut in the vines wrapped around their legs, they can basically be broken off by the strength of the adult troll's legs, and they can move quickly to avoid them before more vines wrap around them.
The speed of the forbidden vine's spreading vines is not very fast. As long as it does not stay in the same position for a long time, there is still a chance to break free before being wrapped by more vines.
These vines did not cause much trouble to the trolls.
"Everyone come back here!" After retreating more than ten meters, the troll leader finally found the edge of the area covered by the forbidden vines, and hurriedly called back the trolls who had escaped from the entanglement of the vines.
A troll wizard following the team moved closer to the troll leader, looked at the broken vines not far away, and said, "These vines have the aura of natural magic, much like totems."
"Totem?" The troll leader can also feel a small amount of abnormal natural magic power fluctuations, but it is not as accurate as what the wizards feel.
After the troll wizard confirmed it, he immediately asked the troll to ask the high priest to come and check.
After a while, the high priest came to the troll leader, squatted down, continued to hold the stone statue with his left hand, and touched the ground with his right hand.
The imperceptible natural magic penetrated into the soil through the palm, sensing the countless vines buried underground, and following the connections of the vines, he discovered the forbidden vine totem in the center of the manor.
"I found it. An ancient totem. It is very practical. It takes a lot of effort to make it." There was some emotion on the wrinkled face of the Troll High Priest, and he continued to inject natural magic power.
the other side…
"Um?"
Xiang En, who was at the end of the tunnel, frowned and his face fell.
Because the distance was too far, the control of the forbidden vines decreased and was cut off.
"Xiang En, what's wrong?" Andrea heard Xiang En's moan and immediately asked with concern.
No matter how quiet the sound is in the narrow tunnel, other people can hear it, not to mention the matter of their parents Xiang En, Naka and others immediately cast a concerned look.
"Control of the totem was taken away by the trolls."
Xiang En didn't beat around the bush, explained the situation concisely, and then immediately exchanged a skill from the talent book: Migratory Bird.
With a pinch of his hands, a pure white bird made of magic power flew upwards, penetrated the soil and disappeared. Xiang En also closed his eyes at the same time.
