Chapter 192: The Fraudster
The battle with the spotted wolf lasted for fifteen minutes, and in these fifteen minutes, nearly a hundred spotted wolves left less than ten corpses, and the combat efficiency could be regarded as extremely low, and the price paid by the expedition team was that there were four more rows of penetrated tooth marks on the lower edge of the Corneda's tower shield, and Catherine's one-handed sword was scrapped, and as for the broken part of the one-handed sword, it was inserted in the mouth of the spotted wolf at this time, lying quietly on the ground with the wolf corpse.

Unexpectedly, with the roar of the tiger, the wolves who had been swimming around the periphery of the team looking for an opportunity to attack seemed to have received an order, and jumped back a few steps lightly, gathered together in twos and threes, and disappeared into the shadows of the jungle. This is one of the most common things that predators do, once they are discovered by the owner of the territory when poaching in the territory of the overlord, they will never fight hard with the overlords, but quickly disperse and flee, even if the owner of the territory really chooses to pursue, at most they can only attack one or two of the squads, and will not pose much threat to the group itself.
In fact, in most cases, the overlords will not pursue the poaching monsters in these territories at all, for the overlords, after their appearance, the poachers choose to flee immediately, and they have already maintained their authority over the territory, since it can be confirmed that they are not invaders who come to compete with themselves for territory, there is no need to spend too much effort chasing to the death. What's more, poachers' hunting sites often have gathered a large number of prey, and enjoying these prey as if they were tributes is far more important for the overlords than laboriously chasing the invaders.
However, the wolves can escape, but the members of the party cannot. The dense forest is their home for the wolves, and they can deftly shuttle through the branches and vines close to the ground, accurately avoiding any danger from the forest, and moving through the dense forest at great speed. However, the adventurers are outsiders, and neither their familiarity with the environment nor their size characteristics make it impossible for them to flee as quickly as the spotted wolf, so they simply choose another way, stopping and confronting each other head-on.
The previous journey was not all smooth, and there were two times that the owner of the territory at that time was alarmed, but one of them was because it was at the junction of the two territories, and the expedition team infiltrated the other territory before the arrival of the Warcraft Lord, avoiding direct conflict with the lord. The overlords in the Death Forest attach more importance to their territories than the intelligent creatures outside, and if they rashly invade other territories, they will be regarded as a direct declaration of war, and the consequences are very serious, so unless the overlords want to fight for the territory, they will never step into other territories.
As for the other time, it was not so lucky, there was still a long way to go from the border, so the team had to choose a head-on confrontation. It was at that time that the girls understood Pannis's description of the demigod beast in the swamp.
The overlord there is a few jungle monitor lizards with a length of more than ten meters, the steel-like skin is difficult to cause damage even after attacking with a fighting spirit, and the power contained in the claws and giant mouths is even more memorable to the girls, but the most terrifying thing about them is not these, but their ability to change color and secretly spew corrosive acid into the jungle, if even a drop of this acid is splashed on the body, the limbs will be corroded into a big hole, and even the most stable metal magic steel will be corroded by the acid to create a pit on the surface, which makes Catherine feel extremely heartbroken。
However, the power of the jungle monitor lizard when it appeared was not at all comparable to what the girls felt now, and the local overlord had not yet appeared, and the huge tiger roar alone had already frightened the wolves. The roar of the tiger resounded through the mountains and forests, and in the face of the majesty of the overlord, no animal dared to offend, even the ubiquitous birds, in the midst of the tiger's roar, consciously closed their mouths, trembling to the overlord of the dense forest to show their submission.
The sound seems to be two or three kilometers away, but the whistling sound seems to be in the ear, and the loud tiger roar seems to have a strange power, which not only pierces people's eardrums painfully, but also seems to have some kind of resonance with the beating of the heart, so that the heartbeat of the people who hear the whistling sound involuntarily accelerates.
"No, it's not just nervousness. As a demigod who uses singing as a means of attack, the high priest of the merfolk clan has a sensitivity to sound that others cannot match, the tiger roared three times, and the wolves had just retreated, Doris shouted loudly in the interval between the whistlings: "This is some kind of sonic attack on the individual, and it is a direct attack on the inside of the body, and the external defense ability has no effect at all." ”
"It turned out to be that creature. Pannis was stunned for a moment, glanced at Vrard, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I haven't been here for a while, and this place has become their territory." It's funny, I almost got scammed by them again. ”
"Is it a tiger this time?" said Vral with a chuckle and flicking his long green hair, "Sometimes I think this creature is quite interesting. ”
"Those monsters that they killed inexplicably don't think so. Obviously, Dilly the Manticore also knew about this creature, and snorted heavily, "These guys are too insidious, it's a disgrace to the monsters." ”
"What kind of creature is it?" Catherine took a deep breath, suppressed the panic caused by the strange tiger roar, and asked, "Isn't it a tiger monster?"
"No, it's a fraudster, or a sonic beast. Pannis shook his head and said: "A kind of monster that does not exist and is recorded in the Warcraft Illustrated Book, because it is too rare, and few people can survive it, so it is not recorded in the Illustrated Book for the public at all." ”
"Sounds like a monster that uses sound as a weapon. Catherine subconsciously glanced at Doris: "Are they very strong?"
"In a sense, they are the weakest demigod beasts. Pannis sighed and said, "It is said that their physical fitness is not even as good as that of ordinary Legendary-level demonic beasts, except for the thicker skin, there is nothing special, but their attacks are very weird, so weird that people can't guard against them at all." ”
"Supposedly?" Catherine was stunned, "You haven't met it either?"
"No, we've met it, well, we have. Pannis shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Just like now, didn't we meet them too?" )
