Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 111 The Difficulty of Going South

It was decided to go south and detour from the Black Forest, and the next step was to make a concrete plan.

A more detailed map was placed on the round table, and Fang Qiuling pointed to the map and said slowly:

"Starting from Huquan Town, take the mountain road over the East Hill, and you can get to Hemoxi in about 30 to 40 days. Then follow the river Moxi all the way south, and you will see the peak of Moendikart in about five to six days. Then turn east and take the path over the river Moqiu to the Motina field west of the Rift Fortress. From the Motina field to the Fortress of Rift, three to four days. ”

Fang Qiuling said as he used illusion to sketch a zigzag line on the map.

"Heading south along Hemo Creek?" Old Tom stroked his beard and hesitated in his voice, "Thirty days should not be enough to reach the Morndicart Mountains, at least forty to fifty days!" And I remember ......"

His fingers tapped three times in quick succession as the line approached the Dekalt Valley.

Ms. Moghley, who was also looking at the map, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with these three places?" ”

"This place is a swamp with a few tribes of lizardmen."

Alina asked curiously, "Lizardmen?" The kind of monster that is covered in scales like a big reptile? I've seen it in books! ”

"Yes, that's right. It's the kind of big lizard that can fight with two hind legs. You know, Alina, they love to eat human flesh, especially little girls' flesh. ”

Fang Qiuling pretended to grin fiercely, with a fierce face. But what responded to him was the little girl's big white eyes.

- Mr. Seurik, do you want to scare people, can you change something new!

Fang Qiuling, who was despised by the little girl, didn't care, shrugged her shoulders, and then used her illusion to mark two dots on the attachment of the Decart Valley.

"And here and here, there are fish-people. However, there will not be many of them, because the lake is not large, and there is not much place for them to give birth. ”

"Fish-people? What does it look like? ”

Alina asked curiously, but this time Fang Qiuling ignored her, pointed to the second pointed position and continued:

"The fish-people aren't a big problem, they're a little too far away to be left alone. They don't go too far from the lake, they don't have water to moisturize, their skin cracks easily, and their scales fall down in large handfuls. So they don't have to come out, they don't want to leave their nests, preferring to soak in the water. As long as you don't enter their territory, you won't mess with them. ”

After a pause, Fang Qiuling pointed his finger at the three dots representing the lizardmen:

"Lizardfolk are a little bit of trouble. The swamp is not very far from the route, within the territory of the lizardmen. Moreover, the lizardmen have a habit of hunting, and from time to time they will also catch passers-by and intercept passing caravans...... It's hard to avoid them, but if you really encounter them, you can hit them with a knife. But ......"

The people around couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this.

- Lord Norn's "but" always brings all kinds of fright!

“…… It's not them that are the most troublesome. Lizardmen can only be regarded as a small trouble at best, but here, it is a big trouble! Fang Qiuling's hand pointed to the center of the route, marked as the Giatika Pass, "Do any of you know about trolls?" So tall, slender, elongated, skinny, skinny, little monster. No, it's a big monster. ”

Trolls are nothing new to fantasy lovers. In the popular online game "Yamaguchisan", players can even directly manipulate trolls as player characters.

Although the trolls in the game also have a bad face, they are somewhat beautified because they have to take care of the aesthetics of ordinary people. And the trolls in this world are out-and-out monsters from any point of view. Yes, that's right, monsters! Although they are also a race of intelligence, the appearance of trolls is undoubtedly the opposite of human aesthetics, and even experienced adventurers can easily be frightened by their ferocious demeanor and beastly appearance when they encounter trolls for the first time.

Trolls are very tall, and according to the current unit of length, adult trolls are generally about two and a half meters tall and weigh more than two hundred kilograms. But they are so thin that they give the impression of being very thin and not very strong. But in fact, the troll's slender body hides an amazing power, and it has the power to wrestle with an ogre without falling behind!

However, the most discoloring thing about trolls is not their sheer strength, but their "unreasonable" ability to regenerate. Minor injuries heal naturally in an instant. Even if they have their hands and feet, or even their heads, cut off, a new one will grow quickly. This powerful regenerative ability makes them almost flawless all over their bodies, which can be described as a great advantage in battle!

It is said that if a troll's body regrows the lost parts, the broken parts of the original pair will dry up and rot. However, there are countless legends that trolls will continue to grasp enemies with severed hands, and severed heads will continue to bite enemies. What's even more terrifying is that after a while, these severed limbs will grow into a second troll!

Fang Qiuling said while gesturing:

"Their strength is great, more than orcs, probably ...... Probably about the same as ogres. The speed is not slow, and the skin is thick and thick. Of course, the most troublesome thing is their regenerative ability, strong regeneration ability. Chop off a hand and it will grow in no time. The severed hand can grow into another troll after a while! If you give them a stab in the waist, they'll soon become two! ”

In order to attract enough attention, Fang Qiuling had to portray the troll as very strong.

“…… And there's a tribe of trolls in this place. The exact number is unknown, but a squadron of knights sent to the door, basically there is no return. You must know that trolls eat meat and have a huge appetite. As long as they are hungry, let alone corpses, they are so hungry that they can even eat their own people! For example...... Tear off the limbs and eat them, and it won't be long before they grow back anyway. ”

With wide eyes, when the bedtime story was heard, Alina and Ronald let out a small exclamation in unison.

- It's scary! It's scary!

Lizardmen, don't be afraid. Alina and Ronald have a lot of books in their free time, not to mention the dragon blood potions, which are family heirlooms. Lizardfolk weren't strangers to either of them.

Fish-people, not afraid. It's just a little monster with a fish's head, and both Alina and Ronald have seen it. The castle is built along the river, and occasionally a fish-man with no eyes will appear along the river around the castle. It's a little unusual, but it's not surprising.

But trolls...... I've never heard of it! And this kind of monster is so hungry that it even eats its own people, it's really terrible!

Alina and Ronald were unaware of the existence of the Trolls, but some of the others on the scene had heard of them. Paladin Marlowe, for example, knew that his brow was twisted into a pimple thoughtfully.

"Mr. Norne, according to your words, I seem to know of this monster called 'Troll'. I remember...... A young man of the Order came to the temple to pray, and he mentioned this monster in his prayers. It seems that it was a siege of the orc camp, and the Knights should have a record of this......"

"Records in the Knights?" Fang Qiuling casually picked up a manual-like thing from the square table on the side, "Well, this is the relevant record." I've seen them all. ”

"I seem to have an impression too. It seems to be ...... Right! This kind of monster was mentioned in the patrol report of the Upper Knights in previous years, saying that there were three big monsters encountered on the patrol road once, and the kind of ...... with great strength"

Before Old Tom's words were finished, he saw Fang Qiuling directly throw away the manual in his hand, his face full of disdain.

"Daddy, you're not going to take this report seriously, are you? It's okay if you don't say it, but when you say it, I'll get angry. I've read a lot of reports, yes, but that kind of thing is called a report? One look at it and you know it's fake! What is written in it, it is a mess, the preface does not match the afterword, and the whole article is full of contradictions. And most importantly, there is not a bit of actual content in it, except that bragging is gibberish. 'One man is not afraid of three monsters'...... The strength of the black iron beginner, let alone three trolls, even if it is one, it would be good to be able to escape alive! In particular, he also wrote that he used a knight's sword to dismantle three monsters into eight pieces......"

Speaking of the battle report of the Knights, Fang Qiuling was furious. Originally, I was hoping to find some useful content from it.,Analyze the distribution of monsters.,You can know yourself and your opponent.。 But I didn't expect the whole report to be either nonsense or bragging, but it made him angry.

"What's the matter, at least this part should be fine. The ...... of a knight with a sword"

Old Tom's face was blue and white. As a fellow soldier of the kingdom, he knew very well that knights were always habitually bragging when writing reports, writing as weak and obscene as possible about their opponents, and describing themselves as heroic and tall.

- There are few knights who know how to write, and it is even more rare to be able to write, and it is not easy to write a patrol report completely, so don't ask for this, ask for that!

"No problem? That's the biggest problem! Fang Qiuling slapped the table, "If they have the ability to kill the trolls with their swords, I'll ...... I just ate this table! ”

- Eating tables? There are strange things every year, and this year is especially numerous. Someone claimed to be able to eat the table!

"Lord Norn, don't talk angry......"

"Ahem...... Well, it's true that you shouldn't be angry. Fang Qiuling calmed down, "Trolls, they are very ugly, ugly makes people wonder if they are human. There are even quite a few people who think of them as tree people. ”

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then a three-dimensional full-body image appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The three-dimensional body seems to have blue-green skin, extremely long hands and feet, and there are disgusting sarcomas in many places. The whole body seems to be tall when it stands up straight, but at the moment the whole body seems to be curled up and hunched over, as if it will be blown down by the wind.

“…… In fact, they have nothing to do with the Treants at all. But whether it matters or not, don't underestimate them. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the strength is good. They have a lot of strength, more than orcs, about the same as ogres! Do you think one knight can compete with three ogres? ”
