Chapter 119 Jackal

In addition to those humans, Tang Zhao also brought three trolls. Tang Zhao did not think of a plan to deal with these creatures at the first time.

When Tang Zhao first kidnapped these trolls, he wanted to obtain more information about the demon scrolls through them. Now that spellcasters can do this better, the existence of trolls is not so necessary.

Tang Zhao wanted to get more information about the demon scroll through them, but now the casters can obviously do a better job in this matter, so their importance is not that high now.

However, Tang Zhao also had his own considerations. Instead of driving away these trolls, he placed them near the mountain fortress - the advantage of trolls is that they can do some dirty work, and having no bottom line is also an advantage.

Whether they are asked to kidnap and kill people, bury corpses and eliminate traces, or even do darker things, they do it without any psychological burden, because there is no such concept of morality in their world.

Any force needs some people to do the dirty work. Goblins have a psychological burden, dwarves have a strong sense of honor and disgrace, and kobolds have a weak will.

As long as you give them enough food and don't let them do jobs that are obviously going to lead to death, the trolls are still qualified subordinates.

If you simply work as a thug, it is not a good thing to think too much, be too delicate and too smart. The troll fits his definition of a thug very well, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but occasionally he has a little simple cleverness.

Therefore, Tang Zhao placed these trolls in the forest, relatively close to the outskirts of the forest, where neither goblins nor dwarves would run there.

There is no doubt that these trolls were not good enemies before, otherwise they would not be called "trolls", but Tang Zhao was not a young nobleman with an overflowing sense of justice. As long as these trolls did not commit any crimes,

If anything exceeds his bottom line, he will pretend he didn't see it.

——

The matter of the demon scroll was so important that even Lorraine rushed over non-stop after getting the news to participate in the interrogation of the human spellcaster.

The caster didn't have much information. A group of people gathered around and asked questions for a long time, but they tried all kinds of methods but couldn't find out the reason.

They also tried looking for answers from trolls and other adventurers, but to no avail and without any conclusive findings.

In desperation, Lorraine and other spellcasters turned their attention to the demon scrolls themselves and began to study these scrolls as best they could.

Although there are many spellcasters among the crowd, they are all druids. When it comes to things related to nature, they know a lot, but they don't know much about things involving demons.

It would take a lot of time to decrypt the scroll, and Tang Zhao couldn't help much, so the casters gave him another task.

Go to the south of Insula to look for more demon scrolls. One is to collect more samples to deepen the understanding of the scrolls. The other is to contain the strengthening of the demon scrolls and prevent something from actually running out of them.

The spellcasters in the settlement took the time to treat the wounds all over Tang Zhao's body. After two days of recuperation, the damaged scales on his body had definitely not recovered, but the wounds on his body were basically scabbed and healed.

.

It has had some impact on his protective power, but it is still within the acceptable limit. The main reason is that the current situation does not allow him to delay it any longer - things related to demons should always be listed as the highest threat, and there is no room for negligence.

This time he took three living treasure trolls and went south again, preparing to hunt those dangerous creatures and find demon scrolls from their hands.

In fact, he originally thought these trolls were in the way and didn't want them to serve as guides, so he wanted to keep them where they were. However, he was really afraid that after he left, the trolls, who were dissatisfied with others, would become restless, so

So I had no choice but to take these living treasures and head south to the forest.

I learned from the spell caster that there are other people in the human world who are buying these scrolls, but Tang Zhao doesn't want to deal with them yet. He wants to deal with the beasts and hobgoblins in the south first. It is best to completely cut off the hobgoblins' influence on the mainland.

It is not too late to gradually resolve matters on the human side as it is a channel for humans in the east to exert influence.

Tang Zhao knew very well that even if the individual strength of the beasts was stronger than the humans in the dark, humans would definitely be more difficult to deal with than the beasts, so he was not in a hurry to deal with those humans, and there was no way to deal with those humans now.

Since he had no idea how many demon scrolls there were, let alone the distribution pattern of the scrolls, Tang Zhao could only choose stupid methods, investigate one by one, and then make plans after figuring out the pattern.

There are many powerful enemies in the forest here, including enemies like the red dragon beast before. They are not familiar with the place. Next, Tang Zhao is going to change his style and pick the weak ones first.

After picking and choosing, Tang Zhao chose a tribe of jackals.

Judging by their names, gnolls seem to be almost the same as kobolds, but in fact they are two completely different creatures.

Calling kobolds kobolds is mainly a matter of the namer. The soul painter painted the lizards to look like dogs, and calling the jackals a jackal is actually a bit inappropriate: the person's appearance is obviously a hyena, which is not the same as a jackal.

It doesn't matter much.

Of course, there were other considerations in Tang Zhao's choice of jackals as his opponents.

Gnolls are actually a very young race. They were born less than a thousand years ago. Elves, dwarves and goblins all remember the story of their birth, which can be clearly traced back to a demon lord.

Yeenoghu, the King of Gnolls, is a demon lord in the bottomless abyss. He is also the creator of Gnolls. The Gnoll tribes that now roam the continent are his masterpieces.

Yeenoghu once came to the main world through some means, and began to kill on a large scale within a period of time. A group of ordinary hyenas followed him to clean up the remains of his killings for the demon lord. These hyenas were later transformed by the demon lord into modern creatures.

Jackals today.

To this day, Yeenoghu's purpose of spending a lot of effort and cost to go to the lower world is still unknown, but the wise men who know this matter generally believe that his fundamental purpose is to create a race of chess pieces in the main world that completely believes in himself.

Due to complex reasons and multiple factors, jackals are now common in the corners of various civilizations. Although jackals are not a common phenomenon in any place, their distribution breadth has indeed surpassed most intelligent races except humans.

For such a race that has a direct interest in demons, it would be strange if Tang Zhao didn't trouble them first.

There were trolls leading the way. After finding the general area, Tang Zhao used his sense of smell to search easily. After a while, several jackal sentries that were far from being well-guarded appeared in front of them.

He asked the three trolls to stay where they were, while he himself shrunk his body and took the initiative to explore the situation in the jackal camp.

The jackal camp is two to three hundred meters ahead. It consists of a cave and a simple tent. It is surrounded by a dilapidated wooden fence and there is an altar in the middle.

Taking a closer look at the items placed on the altar, even with Tang Zhao's current strong psychological endurance, they were still a bit disgusting.

Several human beings were dismembered, disemboweled, and placed swaggeringly on a gray-white stone. The stone was surrounded by coagulated blood clots, and there were even many human organs scattered everywhere. The unspeakable stench spread across the distance.

Can smell and see.

No normal creature could bear this kind of situation, and Tang Zhao had already sentenced these jackals to death in his heart.

Their unspeakable admiration for the demon lord was second to none. To be honest, Tang Zhao just didn't like this kind of creature that engaged in cruelty and killing.

He can understand hunting predatory creatures in order to fill their stomachs, because many creatures have no concept of morality. If creatures do not eat, they will starve to death. In this case, cannibalism is reasonable in the eyes of many creatures.

What it should be - it's just the law of the jungle. It makes no difference to them whether they eat humans or sheep, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

These jackals have an IQ that is relatively similar to humans, but they do not have any moral concepts that intelligent creatures should have. In order to please their gods, they do not mind committing any level of bloody killings.

In Tang Zhao's eyes, such a race should not exist at all, and it would be better to destroy it as soon as possible.

After exploring the general layout of the Jackal camp, Tang Zhao chose to go directly to the Jackal chief's cave and restored his original size.

In less than half a minute, the trolls who were waiting outside heard a piercing alarm sound coming from inside the camp.

The three fat and white trolls looked at each other, and in the end they all believed that Tang Zhao, who had outstanding strength, would undoubtedly win the final victory in the next series of battles.

Gritting their teeth, the three trolls rushed out and participated in the battle.

Regarding the battle situation, there is not much to say, because it is completely one-sided.

The cave environment is narrow, and Tang Zhao going deep inside is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. The jackals can't stop him at all, and any jackals blocking the way will be knocked away by him.

Finally, Tang Zhao found the jackal chief, who was hiding among ordinary jackals and wanted to take advantage of Tang Zhao's relaxation to sneak out.

But it's a pity that his body is much bigger than the surrounding jackals, and the smell of the devil's scroll can be clearly smelled on his body, which cannot be hidden at all.

Ignoring the tickling attacks from a bunch of jackals, Tang Zhao came to the jackal chief, pointing his huge claws at the chief, his eyes filled with threats.

【You have ten seconds, you know exactly what to do.】

It is estimated that the jackal chief had long been looking for an opportunity to surrender. As soon as Tang Zhao used his spiritual power to say the words, the other party simply chose to throw away the weapon in his hand and half-knelt on the ground to express his surrender and submission.
