V1.Chapter 59

It was just dawn.

A figure shuttled through the dense forest. The forest at this moment was really a virgin forest, and there was no sign of a road at all. If Sauron's clothes were not strong enough, it is estimated that he would have been cut several times after walking. A variety of small animals can be seen everywhere in the woods, squirrels and hares are the most numerous, followed by a variety of birds. It has to be said that places without human activities are indeed full of vitality. No wonder Druids are so repulsive to others that they destroy the forest too much.

For this reason, they even fought several times and killed many people.

Following the direction given by the militia captain, Sauron quickly came to the edge of the woods.

The time is about noon.

There are obvious signs of deforestation nearby, intelligent creatures in the wilderness will also establish gathering places, and some large-scale gnolls will also establish their own camps. Sauron didn't dare to get too close, because his current stealth ability couldn't achieve the effect of invisibility, but it would become hazy in the shadows, and he couldn't find it if he didn't look carefully. As for sneaking behind an enemy, that's a matter of skill and circumstance, especially for hostile creatures.

Invisibility is not really disappearing, and the sensitive enemy can still judge that someone is approaching.

The biggest advantage of sneaking is that you can escape into the shadows at any time. In many cases, once you leave the enemy's sight, it is not so easy for him to find you again.

Although the thief's backstab ability is powerful, it requires too many conditions to activate.

Sauron turned around along the shadows, and he found three gnoll guards. Among the large-scale gnolls, there will also be old and weak women and children. When they go out to hunt for food, some of them stay to guard. The gathering place of the gnolls has no houses, but is surrounded by a circle of wood. They know how to make fire and make equipment, but they are limited to making leather armor. Female gnolls will skin their prey and sew them into leather armor using crude methods.

Some gnolls will use weapons to fight, if they are not advanced, they will use minions.

"There are three guards, and the number of this group should be quite large."

Sauron took out the strong crossbow and filled it with a poisoned crossbow bolt. It was impossible to sneak in during the day, because the nearby field of vision was so good that the gnoll could spot him just by looking at it. . Only 150 points of stealth can achieve the effect of invisibility, and it must be in the shadows, he is still dozens of skills. Although the effect of invisibility is invisible to the eyes, the slight noise when moving and the flow of air still exist.

Therefore, to deal with enemies with blind combat expertise and high perception, stealth skill points must be very high!

Sauron's goal was to gain killing experience, not to clean up this group of gnolls. Naturally, he didn't need to storm the camp. He took a circle and hid in the nearby grass, then crawled on the ground and touched it little by little. past. Swinging in the front is useless even with invisibility on. Footprints and things you step on while walking will reveal your position, and it will be clearer if it is a water-filled ground. When wizards cast invisibility, they will cooperate with lightening and oiling the soles of their feet.

There will be some permanently invisible creatures on the plane of shadow, and Sauron has fought with them, and they are difficult enemies.

Gnolls wear leather armor.

Sauron frowned and got closer. If he missed the key point, the lethality of the strong crossbow penetrating the leather armor would be weakened. Even if he did not intend to kill the enemy with the strong crossbow, he still needed to ensure that the poison could penetrate into the blood.

Shout out!

A gnoll suddenly let out a scream, and the nearby guards were alarmed when they left, and there was even a sound in the camp.

Sauron quickly loaded his crossbow bolts and shot at another gnoll who was approaching.

The venom of the Wyvern can take effect very quickly. He pulled out his machete and rushed over. The creature level of these gnolls is 3, and they often have warrior abilities of 1-3 levels. It is not so easy to deal with.

"Ow!"

Facing Sauron's surprise attack, the first reaction of the gnolls was not to surround them, but to make a wolf howl to summon their companions.

Gnolls don't stay in gathering places all the time.

They hunt for prey during the day, try to hunt if it's a beast, stalk it if it's a humanoid, and then launch a sneak attack in the evening and night.

As carnivores, they have a huge appetite and can eat up any amount of prey.

They also eat grass root mushrooms when they are very hungry, and gnolls spend most of their time hunting and preparing to hunt.

A gnoll will eat as much food as an adult tiger with its stomach open.

They are the most voracious and hungry wild creatures.

Three adult gnolls, one uses minions, the other is equipped with a bone crushing hammer, and the other uses a simple mace.

Sauron's advantage is not obvious.

This creature can reach a height of about two meters and two and weigh about 300 pounds. Its head is similar to that of a coyote, its skin is mostly gray, and the color of its mane is messy, but the overall color is dark. Their strength and agility are higher than that of humans, which can reach more than 15 points, but their intelligence is relatively low. There may be priests who worship the god of gnolls, but basically there are few wizards and warlocks.

A wolf howl echoed in the distance.

Sauron raised the machete and slashed it down. The light of the knife slashed on the gnoll's arm, directly cutting off half of his claws. There was a dull sound of breaking wind behind him. He didn't have time to dodge. He could only roll forward. At the same time, he slashed the gnoll's ankle with his knife. Only one third of the venom of the two-footed dragon remained, and he had already advanced. Smeared on the machete.

bump!

The mace smashed into the ground, creating a pit, and if it landed on the head, the brain would splatter instantly. Many of them like to use heavy weapons, because it is easy to smash bones, and marrow is a supreme delicacy for gnolls. A apparently smaller gnoll rushed out, along with two small hyenas.

- Shadow attack.

Sauron had anticipated the number of enemies, and one turned around and stabbed the gnoll who had been poisoned at first with a knife.

A row of data emerges:

"Kill the gnoll warrior!..."

"Target dies!...Gain 270 killing experience points!..."

call!

The sound of the weapon breaking through the air sounded, Sauron swung the knife to block it, and the figure took a step back. He kicked his legs in an instant, and slammed into the gnoll's arms directly from the front, a disgusting smell and fishy smell. Tangning to his nose, he stabbed the machete into the opponent's abdomen without hesitation, then twisted his waist and moved laterally to cut a 20-centimeter-long hole, and a large amount of blood and intestines overflowed. The gnoll, who was so seriously injured, was not killed yet. It stuffed its intestines back with its claws, and smashed it with a bone crushing hammer again.

A flying knife was thrown out.

It hit the opponent's throat in an instant, which finally became the last straw to crush the enemy. The gnoll let out a low roar, knelt on the ground weakly, and then fell down with a thud.

The blood spilled out, and the intestines fell on the ground.

The howl of the coyote rushed towards Sauron's leg, he turned around and kicked it out, kicking it out, and then the machete crossed the attack from the side, the heavy force forced him to kneel on one knee Unloading the force, then the horizontal knife shifted the opponent's weapon, and while twisting and striding, the machete cut a gap in the opponent's leg.

Another coyote pounced, biting his throat with a bloody mouth.

Sauron smashed it with the handle of the knife in an instant, hitting the coyote's nose on the spot, and a splash of blood spattered. Although the injury was not fatal, the pain caused the coyote to howl and retreat.

The howls of wolves were heard in the distance, and it seemed that the hunting gnolls were coming back.

Sauron pounced on the last gnoll warrior, the venom of the wyvern has begun to take effect, and the opponent's reaction speed has slowed down significantly.

"die!"

At the moment when the figures of the two sides staggered, Sauron knelt down on both knees and slid forward to avoid the mace, then held the machete in both hands and slashed back at one of the opponent's legs.

The gnoll rushing forward lost his balance in an instant, and a leg was cut off in the blood gushing out.

clang!

The smaller she-wolf pounced on Sauron and threw him to the ground at once, with sharp fangs biting towards his throat, but Sauron turned his head in an instant, and the opponent bit him on the shoulder. on leather armor. The sharp fangs pierced the leather armor, but it didn't hurt the shoulders, just bit the skin.

puff!

A splash of blood splattered, and Sauron stared out with all his strength. While staring at the she-wolf, he held a knife in his backhand and chopped off a wolf's head.

Shout out!

He calmly loaded his crossbow bolt and shot the last gnoll guard who crawled over to death. The gnoll in the distance had returned, and the sound was about five hundred meters away from Sauron. He clenched his machete and entered the camp, and a circle of wolves stared at him fiercely, roaring menacingly from time to time.

Blood splattered.

Sauron swung his knife to kill five wolf cubs who were less than one or two years old, and then quickly escaped into the forest, blending into the shadows.

The battle has only just begun.

He had to make the gnolls completely lose their minds, so that he could kill more targets.
