Chapter 482: Revenant Hound
Latest URL: Karen's request is not complicated, he just hopes that Barrett can help him eliminate a group of terrifying monsters that broke into the forest from nowhere. Killing monsters is what Manzi is best at, so he agreed without any surprise.
According to Karen's description, those monsters were a whole group of about twenty 'dead dogs'. This is an evil and ferocious two-headed dog with two heads. They usually inhabit the desert, and sometimes appear in the dark areas underground, but rarely enter the forest.
Some people say that this two-headed ghost dog is the watchman of Baator's Nine Prisons, the cousin of the three-headed **** dog. It is a crossbreed pairing of the three-headed **** dog used by mages and a certain dog in the main material plane. The resulting hybrid hound is another of the countless deformed magical creations created by those magic masters on a whim.
This point of view has been recognized by many people, because the average of one head and three heads will become two. This is not a difficult arithmetic problem. This view is more convincing.
On this basis, some people say that as long as the revenant dog swallows enough souls, a brand new third will grow from the middle of the two heads, and the body size will become larger accordingly, and the skin all over the body will be transformed. All shattered as they grew, metamorphosing into their flayed hellish ancestors. However, so far, no wild three-headed hound has been found on the main material plane, and no one has seen the scene of a dead dog devouring souls. Of course, ordinary people cannot see the soul, so this statement has gradually become a legend of a curious nature.
"Those ghost dogs wandered around my cabin and howled, and were finally driven out by my wife." Karen and the dryad looked at each other affectionately, and then looked at Barrett, "It's just that Patricia didn't The method is too far away from here, and they cannot be completely eradicated, so those vicious dogs are still raging in the forest. The bites of the revenant vicious dogs contain filthy germs, and they can also spit out terrible venom from their mouths like poisonous snakes. Even those creatures in the forest that are much stronger than them, as long as they are bitten out of a small wound, the germs and venom will erode along the wound, and the body of that creature will continue to decay and fester, so weak that it cannot resist After the level is reached, it will be devoured by the trailing dogs of the dead."
When Karen said this, his expression became more serious, "The silver bear 'Rull' used to be a king in this forest. Ordinary iron-backed storm bears usually only have metal-like silver-white hair on their backs, which have extremely strong However, Ruhr's whole body is covered with silver hair, and his figure is much larger than the average iron-backed bear. Even so, Ruhr still died at the mouth of those dead dogs. At that time, the The silver bear seemed to be asking for help from Patricia, but it fell out of my wife's range of motion. Ruhr's head was miserable, and the facial features were completely festered, and the inner skull could be seen. I guess Ruhr should be During the battle, I accidentally got bitten somewhere on the face by the vicious dogs of the dead, or touched the venom sprayed from their mouths."
"So, those revenant dogs are really dangerous." Barrett said with a frown. It is not difficult to wipe out the vicious dog colony, and the barbarian believes that he can definitely do it. But the whole process must ensure that there is no injury, that is another matter. Even if a legendary level adventurer completes such a simple task as exterminating goblins, there is no guarantee that he will not be injured at all.
His dragon leather armor should be able to block the bites of those vicious dogs. The barbarian hugged his shoulders and touched the leather armor on his body.
"You don't need to worry about this, I have already prepared." Karen walked to the kitchen, took out a small bottle of yellow-green liquid from the cabinet, and handed it to the barbarian, "If you are bitten by those vicious dogs, Or if the body is sprayed with venom, just use this to smear the wound, and then take a sip, and it will be fine."
"What is this?" Barrett asked curiously. He took the bottle and held it up in front of his eyes for a closer look. The yellow-green liquid in the bottle is crystal clear, giving people a feeling of vitality.
"You must have noticed that the olive tree outside is my wife Patricia's 'Tree of Oneness'. And the bottle is filled with the olive juice squeezed from the olives on that tree. , a special antidote made by mixing several other herbs." Karen raised his chin quite proudly, "To tell you the truth, I am also a somewhat accomplished pharmacist. Before those vicious dogs devoured them completely, I extracted its carrion and blood for experimentation. This bottle of antidote is very effective against the germ bites and terrible venom of those revenant vicious dogs. It's a pity that I am not very good at fighting. Okay, there is no way to personally eliminate those vicious dogs that are raging in the forest."
Speaking of pharmacists, Barit couldn't help but think of the potion master 'Jorel' in the city of San Nino in the Holy Kingdom of Arathor. Although the old man is only a first-level mage, he has indeed made great achievements in potion science and has his own unique insights into many magic materials. The reason why Barrett was able to survive until today was that the bottle of emerald green potion that Jorill didn't know how many sizes played a huge role in it.
However, the side effects of that bottle of potion were also very strong, directly changing the barbarian's original appearance, making him have to always wear the 'veil' bracelet given by the little mage. Thinking of this, Barrett planned to go to San Nino City after completing the task at hand, and find old Jorill to thoroughly solve this major problem of being misunderstood by others.
It is worth mentioning that the little mage Chris is also very interested in the old man, and seems to have plans to recruit him as a follower under his command. Maybe old Jorill will be able to have his own independent laboratory in the magic tower built by Chris in the future, and he can also obtain a large amount of magic materials. And under the supervision of the little mage, this eccentric potion master who disregarded life would not make too much trouble.
Oh, by the way, I have to go to the desert. There are still more than a thousand soul prisms in Barrett's hands. When he was fighting that powerful vampire, the barbarian won the final victory relying on the armor left by the paladin. These souls were also responsible for that victory. Comes with a bonus.
It is also for this reason that Barit wants to go to the Mavela Desert, where he will find the last sanctuary stronghold of the paladins, return the broken 'Armor of Salvation' to them, and trap more than a thousand of them in the The souls in the soul prism are handed over to those paladins.
Then Manzi still wants to go to 'Forge Rock City' to visit his old friend, the dwarf 'Gorn Burning Furnace' who doesn't like mining. It's been a long time since the underground team separated, and I don't know what happened to that poisonous tongue dwarf .
Alas, there are too many things to do, there is no way, let's do them all.
Leaving the Cullen couple's residence, Barrett was accompanied by a kestrel with brick-red feathers. This was specially summoned by the dryad Patricia to help the barbarian find the habitat of the dead dog.
The appearance of the kestrel attracted the attention of another flying creature. Raven 'Corn', a construct with excellent eyesight, flew down from the high-altitude clouds and flew around the kestrel. 'Corn, corn! ’ It shouted loudly, and it was not known whether it was to attract the attention of Barrett or the gaze of the kestrel.
The raven was almost three times the size of the kestrel. The two birds, one big and one small, one black and one red, accompanied the barbarian, and ran towards the vicious dog's lair deep in the forest.
The woods passing by turned yellow and green, green and red. After crossing a clear and cold stream, under the guidance of the kestrel, Barrett found the location of the vicious dog's lair.
It was a large cave exuding a rotten stench. Outside the cave were seven or eight large bone piles formed by the remains of various creatures that had been eaten. Countless buzzing flies hovered over the bone piles, and many small scavengers who were not afraid of death shuttled among the bone piles, looking for the last trace of carrion sticking to the bones.
Barrett got off his horse and let his Nightmare Beast mount return to the Shadow Realm to stand by. Then he put on the dragon wing helmet, lowered his visor, held the long sword 'Nemesis' in his left hand, and the shield 'Metal Poetry' in his right hand, and strode towards the cave.
Because these revenant hounds spit highly poisonous venom, a sword and shield will be more practical than two swords.
Outside the cave were guarded by two vicious dogs who were resting, and they immediately spotted the heavily armed uninvited visitor, Barbarian. The two-headed vicious dog stood up at the same time, let out a ferocious growl, and splashed saliva from its mouth.
The skin of the Revenant Hound is dark brown, and its size is smaller than that of a rideable warg, not much different from that of an adult winter wolf. There is a thick mane growing in the middle of each head, two manes come together on the back, and extend to the end of the tail. Barrett looked at the monsters up and down, then waved at them, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Come here, bad dog."
The Hound Guards may not understand Common Speech, but they can feel the contempt and provocation in the barbarian's tone. One of the revenant vicious dogs couldn't stand the stimulation, and rushed forward with bared teeth. When it was about to get close to Barrett, it made a pounce movement, but when the barbarian raised his shield to defend, the vicious dog withdrew the pounce, turned its head down and bit the barbarian's calf.
Nemesis stabbed from under the shield, between the eyes of one of the dog's heads, and pinned it to the ground. But two-headed creatures have such characteristics. Killing one of their heads is not enough to make them completely dead. They can still move and attack with only one head.
The other head ignored its dead neighbor, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit UU Reading www.uukanshu.com fiercely at the barbarian's calf.
Barrett took half a step back, and smashed heavily with the 'Metal Poetry' of his right hand. The kite-shaped shield 'Metal Poetry' is an inverted triangle as a whole. When the dwarf blacksmith who loves literature made this pair of shields, he polished the bottom of it into a sharply curved cone. And it may be because of the overall streamlined shape that using the 'Metal Poetry' to attack also comes with additional attack speed, so this heavy blow directly smashed through the other head of the vicious dog.
Both heads were killed, and the vicious dog guard collapsed on the ground and twitched twice before gradually becoming silent. Barit drew his sword back to his shield, and looked at another vicious dog guard outside the cave. The opponent did not lose his mind because of the death of his companion, but chose to howl. The next moment, other ghost dogs in the cave rushed out one after another, and a female dog, which was a little bigger than a warg, appeared pacing out of the darkness in the cave.
Barrett looked at the vicious **** across the pile of bones. After two heartbeats, the vicious **** let out a short roar, and more than a dozen vicious vicious dogs around rushed at the same time like arrows leaving the string. come over. The barbarian moved his neck back and forth, lightly shook the blade of the sword with his left hand, and the 'Goddess of Nemesis' in his hand transformed into a chain and whip form, and walked forward slowly facing the pack of vicious dogs.
