Manticore has the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion.

On Blue Star, it also has a name called Manticore, which means "man-eater".

When this poisonous monster appeared under the wall of the ruins, the hunters were a little panicked.

Although they occasionally hunt small monsters, they are vampire hunters after all, not monster hunters, and lack experience in fighting such large monsters.

The manticore looked at the hunters warily, roaring while slowly wandering under the city wall. Its right hind leg was a little lame, and it looked like it had been injured by a cannon.

"Shoot it with a bow and arrow, it's hurt!" a hunter shouted.

After hearing this, the hunters immediately took out their bows and arrows and shot at the manticore. However, although the manticore was injured, it reacted very quickly. It jumped a few times on its three legs and avoided the arrows shot at it.

"Be careful, don't be careless!" Baldwin knew how powerful the manticore was, and he shouted loudly.

Although the hunters heard the guild leader's reminder, they did not pay too much attention. They thought that the manticore could not climb the high city wall.

Jiang Xiaotan also made gestures to cast the spell, but he was a little confused, because in his impression, in addition to the scorpion tail, the manticore seemed to have another characteristic...

At this time, Lenka was still raising her bow and aiming, but she never fired her first arrow.

She is biding her time.

The hunters repeatedly missed their shots and their shooting speed also slowed down. After all, arrows are limited and cannot be wasted like this.

Taking advantage of this gap, two huge fleshy wings sprouted from the manticore's back, and it flapped suddenly and flew up.

The hunters never expected that this magical beast could actually fly, and the accuracy of their archery was even worse. The manticore managed to fly up the city wall without any difficulty, knocking down the nearest hunters.

President Baldwin rushed forward and slashed at the manticore. However, the manticore's fur was very thick, and the sword only cut a little of the skin.

The manticore immediately stabbed Baldwin with its highly poisonous scorpion tail, but the latter knew how powerful the scorpion tail was and rolled to avoid the fatal blow.

Taking advantage of the manticore's attention being attracted by the president, Lenka shot an arrow.

The arrow flew diagonally toward the manticore's eyes. Since Lenka was in the blind spot of the manticore's field of vision, when the arrow flew out, the manticore was unable to dodge.

Even though the monster's body was covered with thick fur, its eyes had no protection. The arrow directly blinded one of the manticore's eyes. The monster immediately screamed in pain.

It slapped the hunter who was knocked down with one claw, then jumped up, turned around and pounced on Lenka.

Just as the manticore was about to pounce on the petite elf huntress, a huge fireball exploded in front of it, and it was Jiang Xiaotan who took action.

This caused great damage to the manticore. It fell from mid-air and rolled miserably on the ground several times, with large areas of its fur being burned.

The hunters immediately gathered around and prepared to kill the monster, but unexpectedly the manticore suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

The roar was so powerful that it made the less brave hunters feel dizzy. The hunters who bravely rushed forward were also shocked and dizzy.

However, when the hunters thought that the manticore was going to fight a trapped beast, the monster flew up very decisively and got into the ruined city wall that was blasted by the cannon.

This manticore was very smart. It judged that it was no match for Jiang Xiaotan, so it immediately made a decision and escaped cleanly.

The hunters knew they could not catch up, and did not dare to step into the ruins of old Valenvinia, because there were other warcraft and more terrifying monsters there.

Jiang Xiaotan ignored the manticore. He jumped off the fort, came to the injured hunters, checked their injuries, and tried to treat them with [Healing Hand].

Most of the injured were not seriously injured, but the one who was directly injured by the manticore was not optimistic.

A few of his ribs were broken, which is actually not bad. [Healing Hands] can slowly heal these injuries.

However, the manticore's poisonous claws tore his skin, and the venom invaded his body. The area around the wound turned black and purple, and the hunter also fell into a severe coma.

[Hand of Healing] cannot remove this poison, and the poison is slowly spreading. The hunter is about to die from the poison.

"Bud of Life!"

Lenka cast a natural magic, and a huge flower appeared from the ground, wrapping the hunter in it. Then the flower closed and turned into a slowly shaking bud.

"The buds can temporarily prevent the spread of venom, but it can only last for a day at most. We have to get the antidote as soon as possible." Lenka said.

"To prepare a potion to remove the manticore's toxin, we need the rhizome of the Lion Heart Flower." Baldwin gasped, "This flower is very rare and may not be available in Constantine's alchemy material store."

"Lion's heart flower is actually the flower of celandine." Lenka said.

"Celandine? Isn't there a lot of it?"

Jiang Xiaotan knew about celandine. He had read in "Eastern Continent Customs" that this kind of celandine was very common in Constantine.

Standing on the city wall and looking down casually, there is a plant with light yellow four-petal flowers in the surrounding fields, that is Celandine.

But Lenka shook his head and said: "Only the celandine grown from the manticore's excrement is the lion's heart flower. Because it absorbs the toxins in the manticore's excrement, the yellow petals will turn purple.

"

As an elf, Lenka is familiar with various plants on the continent.

Baldwin admired the girl's knowledge very much. Although he knew that the lion's heart flower could relieve the poison of the manticore, he did not know the origin of this rare plant.

"In other words, as long as we find the manticore's excrement, we have a high chance of finding the Lionheart Flower?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.

"Yes. If the manticore's lair is nearby, you can probably find the Lion Heart Flower." Lenka said.

Jiang Xiaotan took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go look for it over there in the ruins. This manticore was caused by me testing the cannon, and I have to take responsibility for it."

"Let me go with you. That manticore is bleeding. It will definitely escape back to its lair. I can use natural magic to track it." Lenka said.

"Isn't it too dangerous for just the two of you? Should we call all Constantine's hunters over?" Manager Hayter asked.

"No, the ruins are too dangerous. If a large group of people passes by, a large number of monsters will be disturbed. I will go in with them, just the three of us." Baldwin said.
