Chapter 462: Catastrophe on the Prairie
"Ivita, be careful behind you!" the centaur 'Seyron' shouted loudly.
After being reminded, the companion turned around and wanted to resist, but the action of "turning around" was really not an easy task for the centaurs, and it couldn't be as fast as other humanoids.
Seeing that the monster was about to fall on his companion's back, Sai Rong, the leader of the scout, could only throw the spear in his hand forward, accurately piercing the monster that was attacking behind his companion, but he also let himself Stuck in a state with no weapons available.
However, the empty-handed centaurs can still play a huge lethal force, because they still have strong hooves to use. Sai Rong raised his front hooves high, kicked a monster in front of him to the ground, then ran again, and successfully escaped before the monster's encirclement was formed.
Another companion who ran to help Ivita pulled up Sairon's spear from the monster's corpse, "Leader Sairon, then!" The companion threw the spear hard at him.
"Come closer to me!" The scout leader who took the spear picked up a monster in front of him and flew into the air, and began to rescue the scouts who were fighting each other on the battlefield.
First came 'Muza', then 'Tika', followed by 'Iveta' and 'Hadan' who was beside her, more and more people gathered around Sai Rong. But 'Bola' and 'Mor' were not good enough, and another clan who could not see his face fell down.
Those abominable monsters surrounded the corpses of the clansmen like vultures, and thrust their branches like arms into the bodies of the corpses, frantically sucking their blood.
"Go to hell, you twisted evil creatures!" Sai Rong led his companions and launched a furious charge towards the enemy. One monster after another was torn apart by spears and iron hooves. After two charges, the entire battlefield gradually gradually calmed down.
At the end of the battle, Sairon and his companions surrounded the dead, "O free spirits of the wilderness, three great warriors fell in your arms today. Their deaths were glorious, because they fought against the evil with their lives. Spread." Sairon tapped his dead companion's forehead with his fingers, "We pray to you, noble spirit of the wilderness, to let their bodies rest in the earth, and let their souls find their home under the guidance of the wind. The road to home..."
While his companions were sweeping the battlefield and burying the dead, Sai Ron picked up a monster with a spear and watched it carefully.
It is a tree-like plant, but infinitely more evil than nature's dryads. When standing still, these monsters look no different from some withered bushes, but when a living creature passes near them, the monsters gather their branches together to form a giant and limbed humanoid monsters.
This is also the reason why Sai Rong and his party were divided by the monsters when the battle suddenly started.
The priests of the clan call this monster a 'wither monster', an evil creature created through magic. All blight monsters must be nurtured by a 'Gantias mother tree', that mother tree will not only bear the seeds that can give birth to blight monsters, but also transform the surrounding healthy vegetation into new ones through its own evil power. 'Blighter' and transforms the entire area into a dark, corrupt place full of thorns and poisonous weeds.
When the first blight monster was discovered, Sairon's 'Whitemane Clan' began to search for the location of the 'Gantias Mother Tree', and they also notified the many races living in the vast sea grasslands. , as well as the elves in 'Los Luolin', I hope everyone can work together to eliminate those evil monsters at the root.
However, the entire Vast Sea Prairie is too large, making the search very difficult, and the places where the various races live are scattered, making it difficult for them to communicate with each other.
Taking the White Mane Clan as an example, centaurs and horses have inherent advantages in terms of speed, but it takes two or three days to reach the human settlement closest to the clan, let alone other races.
At this time, more than two months have passed since the discovery of the first blight monster, and there are more and more blight monsters on the vast sea grassland, but there is still no clue of the location of the 'Gantias mother tree'. Moreover, the mother tree may also be hidden in a cave that leads to the ground somewhere in the grassland. If that is the case, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the search several times, and it will require other races to explore it. Centaurs are physically limited, making it difficult to move in underground caves.
This is not the thing that worries Sairon the most. The priest of the clan once said that the birth of the 'Gantias Mother Tree' must require a great Druid who is proficient in natural magic to take care of the tree species throughout the whole process.
There are many settlements advocating nature on the Vast Sea Grassland, but there are very few that really have a great Druid in town. The settlements that Sai Rong knows about are not even great Druids, even ordinary Druids can't get them. one. That halfling village called 'Sweet Cane' had a halfling druid who turned into a raccoon, and it made those little guys proud.
In the entire vast sea grassland, only those elves with long lifespans have the existence of many great druids. This makes the whole thing even more confusing.
The scout leader Sai Rong threw the monster on the spear on the ground, looking in the direction of 'Los Luo Lin' with a sad face, "If there is more than one 'Gantias Mother Tree', then the entire Vast Sea Prairie will welcome A catastrophe." He muttered.
"What's the matter, Chief Sairon?" Muza came over and asked.
"It's nothing." Sai Ron didn't want to share his worries with his companions, "Help me call Ivita here."
Ivita is the daughter of the patriarch, and is very skilled at using bows and arrows. She was not originally a member of the scout guard, because the blight incident made the search staff somewhat insufficient, so she volunteered to join the search team.
She played quite well in the previous battles with the blight monster, but in this close encounter, her performance was very poor. The death of her clan Paula was also inseparable from her helplessness at the time. Relationship.
At this time, the young centaur was tormenting a cluster of alfalfa with a sad face, and those blooming purple flowers were crushed by her hoofs and fell into the fertile ground.
"Leader Sairon..." Ivita walked over with her head lowered.
What to say? Our scout leader suddenly got into trouble. He is really not good at comforting people, but he doesn't want to let the young clan in front of him fall into too much self-blame.
"In addition to bows and arrows, you should also practice the use of other weapons, so that you can cope with more battle scenes." Sai Rong said in a calm tone, "both spears and machetes are fine, these two weapons are very suitable for our troops. usage of."
"Understood, Chief Sairon." Ivita replied softly.
Alas, it sounds like I'm criticizing this, but that's not what I meant. "Take a good rest, don't think too much. I don't know when this disaster will end. You can only save by honing your martial arts skills." to more clansmen." He tried to soften his blunt tone.
"Well, I definitely will!" The young female centaur seemed to recover a little.
After Ivita left, Muza, who was his deputy, walked up to Sai Ron again, "Fortunately, only the most common monsters exist among these monsters. If there are those that can shoot needles, and those that can use vines for entanglement attacks , we are likely to lose more clansmen like last time."
"No matter what kind of evil monster it is, as long as it dares to desecrate the Vast Sea Grassland, it will eventually be wiped out by the creatures living in it." Sai Rong said firmly, "Let the clansmen bandage the wound and let us rest for a while. Just keep going."
There are more than one type of 'withered monsters' that have been discovered so far. The one that attacked them at this moment is called 'withered branch monsters'. In addition to this, there are two other evil creatures called 'Withered Needle' and 'Withered Vine'.
Both of these monsters are much larger than the common 'Wither branches' ~lightnovelpub.net~ Wither Needles' looks like a hunchbacked humanoid covered in clumps of pine needle-like spikes , those pine needles that are shot with great force are a huge threat, and can easily pierce the leather armor of the tribe, causing a lot of damage.
Although this monster looks like it is also made of plants, it cannot mimic like other types of 'wither monsters', so it can be recognized from a distance.
As for the 'withered vine monster', as the name suggests, it is no different from ordinary vines when it is stationary. It can cover an area with a radius of about 6 or 7 meters with its body, and entangle every creature that enters it, and it can also transform into a human shape composed of vines, and pounce on it like a python to hang its prey.
Even with Sai Rong's powerful strength, if he is completely entangled by the dead vine monster, it will be difficult to break free.
I just hope that more races and individuals can join in this battle to destroy evil monsters, the scout leader thought to himself.
