Chapter 35: The Attack from Nightsong Forest
Somewhere in Nightsong Forest.
Wild Claw's bloodshot eyes looked around at the cowering gnolls. No gnoll dared to look it in the eye, but it knew it had to leave.
As a gnoll over 2.2 meters tall and weighing 350 pounds, it really stood out among the average gnolls of 1.9 meters tall and 200 pounds. Originally, it was the leader of this group of lowland gnolls, and its life could be said to be very comfortable.
But in the duel just now, it was defeated, defeated by another equally ferocious gnoll.
The opponent was a gnoll from the depths of Nightsong Forest, stronger than it, over 2.4 meters tall, with extremely terrifying strength.
But
although Wild Claw was defeated, it would not die.
Not because of the opponent's pity, but because of its own strength.
Once the Barbarian Claw attacks with all its strength, a light green airflow will surround its body. This special energy will help the Barbarian Claw completely offset the air's sluggishness.
This not only allows the Barbarian Claw to move much faster than other jackals, but also allows it to eliminate all body odor when attacking, making it extremely concealed.
This also gives the Barbarian Claw confidence that it can live well alone.
With a heavy snort, the Barbarian Claw left the original jackal camp and ran towards the east of the forest.
Without its subordinates to serve it, hunting will require the Barbarian Claw to do it himself in the future.
Now, it is wandering towards the woods near the human town, hoping to get something different. It is a little tired of the beast meat in the forest.
The meat of wild beasts is not as delicious as human meat, especially female humans. The meat is particularly tender and refreshing. When you bite it, red juice splashes everywhere. The taste is really good.
However, Barbarian Claw had tasted human flesh three times in total. Although it was a long time ago, the impression it left on it was extremely deep and it could not forget it.
That was why it headed towards the east of the forest.
Because it knew there was a human town here, which was also the closest town to it, and it seemed to be called. Shimmering Gold Town.
Dusk had fallen for a long time.
Barbarian Claw, who had just arrived, walked around several humans wearing leather armor, carrying bows and swords, and unknowingly came to the edge of a large fenced but extremely empty field.
Here, it smelled the dense, young and tender human flesh.
This was the smell of "young animals" among humans!
"Young animals" generally tasted quite delicious, which made Barbarian Claw's thick Adam's apple move a few times. It had not eaten anything for a whole day, so Barbarian Claw decided to choose this place.
It observed and found that every once in a while, a team of guards wearing fine chain mail, holding an oak shield wrapped in iron in one hand and a sword handle in the other, would pass by.
This should be the patrolling guards. The gnoll camp also has patrols.
It is not afraid of these "weak" human guards, but it knows that once it kills these human guards, it will inevitably alert other guards, and then it will not be able to eat the delicious "young beast" meat.
Although the average strength of humans is very weak, these guards will call for help!
It would be annoying if those "tin men" were attracted!
Because the strength of the "tin men" is very strong, some are almost the same as it, or even stronger, it does not want to meet them. Manclaw
is still very patient when it comes to hunting. Before it became the leader, it also needed to hunt by itself. Wait
a little longer, it can eat fresh and delicious meat!
At this time, in the servant dormitory on the west side of the outer fort, all the servants in the big bunk bed have already lain down.
Slight snoring came one after another. After a day of archery training, most of the servants' arms were extremely sore.
Only Thick Eyebrows had something hidden in his heart, so he did not sleep well.
He felt like he was half asleep and half awake, and he seemed to hear the sound of a door opening.
"I wonder which grandson is so loud!" He muttered.
But soon, he felt something was wrong, because Nongmei heard a very strange chewing sound.
"Crunch, crunch!"
Judging from the sound, it seemed to come from the door of the servant dormitory.
Someone is eating in the middle of the night?
No!
In this big bunk bed, besides himself and Freckles, which other servant has this condition?
Is the door next to Ryan's original position?
Who is sleeping now?
I can't remember, but when I think of Ryan, Thick Eyebrows gets a little excited, and his mind suddenly becomes clearer!
So, he grunted and raised his upper body with a bit of irritability, looking towards the door.
Just as Thick Eyebrows was about to curse, a strong smell of blood floated over, which immediately made him shudder, goose bumps all over his body stood up instantly, and the whole person woke up all of a sudden.
I saw a dark figure squatting by the door, holding something and swallowing it in big mouthfuls.
At the first time, Thick Eyebrows reacted that no one among the servants had such a huge physique. He was the biggest one among the servants, but he was still far inferior to the other party.
The dark shadow squatting by the door was like a small hill!
This reminded Thick Eyebrows of something very strange, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant.
His heart suddenly began to beat violently.
He immediately lay back slowly!
But his trembling hands betrayed his heart.
"There are seven people between me and the bed by the door? No, six people. That monster should leave after eating, right?"
"Mom! Bless me, I don't want to die yet!"
"Dad! Tell me, what should I do?"
Thick Eyebrows, who was a little mentally collapsed, seemed to have no idea what to do.
By the way, there are guards!
Every once in a while, a small team of patrolling guards would pass by the servants' dormitory in the manor.
I was annoyed by their noise before!
Thick Eyebrows seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and immediately listened attentively to whether there were rhythmic footsteps outside.
But unfortunately, it seemed that the manor patrol team had just passed by, or had not yet arrived. Nongmei only felt that the creepy "crunch crunch" chewing sound became clearer when he listened carefully.
At this moment, he had never been so eager for the arrival of the guards!
One minute,
two minutes.
Every second seemed like a year!
Finally, he heard the slightly heavy, rhythmic footsteps, and Nongmei shouted with all his strength: "Help! There is a monster!!"
"Nongmei, are you crazy? What are you shouting for!" Nongmei's shouting first woke up Freckles who was sleeping beside him.
"Yeah, Nongmei, what are you doing?" The tanner's son rubbed his eyes and said.
"."
The servants were awakened one after another by Nongmei's shocking shout, so they complained about Nongmei in various ways, but the next second, they were like drakes with their necks pinched, staring at the extremely tall figure at the door in amazement.
With the weak moonlight, the servants could barely tell that the other party was a human, wearing torn leather shoulder guards and chain mail, with a protruding head and dense hair on the exposed parts. But it was obviously not a human head, but a huge hyena head!
The face was ferocious and ugly!
At this moment, the other party was holding a long human thigh and gnawing it, with blood and minced meat flowing on both sides of his bloody mouth!
Man Claw was very unhappy. He originally planned to secretly eat the two "cubs" and then pack up two more to eat tomorrow, but the scream of a "cub" ruined his perfect plan tonight.
Looking at the "cub" that was mostly eaten on the ground, Man Claw knew that he was leaving!
The human guards were coming soon, and it seemed that he couldn't take two, but it should be no problem to take one.
So, Man Claw grabbed a scared servant who was sleeping by the door, broke the wooden door directly, and rushed out.
When the patrolling guards of the manor heard Thick Eyebrows' shout, they immediately rushed to the servants' dormitory. At this time, they also arrived at the door and were about to break in.
But what they didn't expect was that suddenly, the wooden door "banged" and broke into pieces!
The broken wooden boards shot towards them like sharp arrows!
The next second, a fierce monster more than two meters tall rushed out from inside, knocked the two guards who were blocking the way away seven or eight meters, and left calmly!
Not long after, the entire Habsburg manor was brightly lit! !
