Chapter 24 Monster Battlefield! Harvest

A scavenger (gravorg) woke up from a hidden underground lair. It smelled a strange smell coming from afar. This cunning underground beast first carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and then ran away excitedly after confirming that there was no danger.

It left the nest and ran quickly and clumsily towards the source of the odor, but it did not relax its vigilance. At every suspicious turn, the scavenger would suddenly stop and use the protective color on its body to camouflage itself.

This large carnivorous wild animal is different from another underground scavenging monster (otyugh). It is more powerful and more greedy. The body of this four-legged monster that looks like a sloth is ten feet long.

The fur is mixed with white, gray and black markings. These mixed colors make it look like a big stone when it is still. In order to find food, this scavenger can run from one dungeon or cave to another far away dungeon.

Wherever it passed, it left only piles of bones and broken and scattered equipment.

The gravorg is a large magical beast. Although it has sharp teeth and claws, the gravorg rarely uses them to defend itself. Instead, it uses them to tear apart the food corpses it has obtained. It prefers to use its own

Spell-like ability to hunt.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the scavenger excitedly beat the stone wall with its claws. However, its slow speed severely restricted the number of prey it could obtain, because there were too many scavenger monsters in the underground world.

The scavenger passed through a narrow mine at the fastest speed. In fact, it didn't like walking in such a narrow space. This was extremely detrimental to the use of its natural abilities. The scavenger preferred large, tall and wide mines.

Space and territory, but hunger and greed defeated its reason.

When this beast stepped into the battlefield, several carrion bugs that were feasting on a large meal suddenly screamed in panic. These monsters with multiple legs and jointed bodies up to eight or nine feet in length looked like green cabbage bugs with head and feet.

It is a hybrid species of animal, with eight slender tentacles extending from the lower jaw of the scavenger's head. Each tentacle is about two feet long. The ends of the tentacles can secrete a paralyzing sticky substance. This kind of

Large aberrations with extremely keen senses of sight and smell noticed the approach of scavengers early on. They twisted their fat bodies desperately in an attempt to escape, but due to swallowing too much food, the scavengers were as slow as cattle.

Seeing that the scavengers were getting closer and closer, the scavengers had to gather into a group and wave their tentacles to try to warn their opponents not to get close.

The scavenger (gravorg) is not a qualified pursuer. After all, its running speed is relatively slow. The scavenger is more accustomed to using its unique spell-like ability to ambush and sneak attacks. But eating too much food

The carrion was obviously slower. The carrion that was close to a certain distance excitedly activated its innate ability. Suddenly, all the surrounding objects, including the carrion, the few remaining kobold corpses, the remains of the kobold and the equipment fragments,

All kinds of gravel floated to the top of the tunnel, and then suddenly lost support and fell down naturally.

The scavenger, which was holding a kobold corpse and tearing and beating it, was constantly activating and canceling its own spells. All the objects in the tunnel within a fifty-foot radius centered on the scavenger were like a group of scavengers.

They were lifted up and dropped like rag dolls. The tunnel was only fourteen or five feet high in total. Although the scavengers' spell-like abilities knocked them to pieces, it obviously couldn't cause them much harm.

As highly aggressive underground scavenger monsters, the enraged scavengers are not just waiting to be killed. They wave their tentacles and approach the scavenger with difficulty, trying to use their unique paralysis ability to restrain and eat them all.

The scavenger with the few remaining kobold corpses turned its attention to the struggling and roaring scavenger. Although it could use its natural ability at will, it would consume the scavenger's energy after all. It began to use its own

The sharp claws attacked one of the carrion bugs, but its poor melee skills made it suffer greatly. The carrion bug's paralyzing tentacles caught and entangled it.

On the way back, William and the others encountered many strange monsters. Most of these monsters hurriedly avoided the excavation team. However, there were still a small number of violent monsters who attacked everyone. Of course, these monsters who overestimated their capabilities

The end was extremely tragic, either being chopped into a cold corpse by Fenia's giant ice ax, or being smashed into meat by the arrogant dwarves.

When everyone approached the battlefield where they encountered the kobolds, an extremely strong smell of blood and a weird stench hit their faces. Sings's face immediately changed, and he yelled in panic: "Damn it! It's scavengers! These are the scavengers!"

Brainless evil bugs!" Apparently Singers recognized the source of the weird stench.

Scavengers are the enemy of the dwarves underground. The paralysis ability of these foul-smelling monsters' tentacles is the fear of all melee combatants. Although these tentacles do not cause other damage besides causing paralysis, fortunately the dwarves can

Increase alertness through their body odor.

But William and others did not flinch. They did not want to return empty-handed, especially since William's strength gave everyone enough confidence (of course, Singers believed in William's flame power. Although he did not like magic, the dwarf recognized this

The power of mysterious power). In just one day, all sixty or seventy kobold corpses had been devoured by scavengers, leaving only broken spears and remains on the ground, but the mass of flesh in front shocked everyone even more.

The scavenger finally tasted what it means to be frustrated today! If the environment were different, even ten times as many scavengers would not be its enemy, but today it was surrounded by only four monsters in this narrow tunnel.

They were beaten to death. One scavenger was also killed and one was seriously injured. The remaining two slightly injured ones fled the scene after the victory, because their paralyzed tentacles were almost plucked out by the scavenger. The bad scene made the two little guys stay away.

Hiding behind, William and Singers approached the monster's body holding torches and bull's-eye lanterns.

"It's carrion bugs! These disgusting bugs! It looks like a fierce battle!" Singers covered his nose and looked at the tangled monster in surprise. The paralyzing tentacles of carrion bugs are extremely valuable.

It is said that the poison of the underground dark elves' paralyzing poisonous arrows comes from them, and the mages on the surface also love this precious and scarce product very much. The seriously injured scavengers also slowly lost their vitality, and were struck by William a few times.

Cut off the only two remaining tentacles.

"What an unexpected harvest! Haha! I can almost smell the aroma of a vat of fine ale!" The one-eyed dwarf excitedly carried the leather bag containing the paralyzed tentacles of the scavengers. Except for the eight tentacles that were crushed into meat paste, William

Together with Singers, we found ten complete tentacles and nine half-sectioned ends.

None of William and the others knew the more precious scavenger, but now the group faced a more difficult question, whether they should return to Miraba City or continue moving forward. If they move forward, the heavy blood here will attract More unknown monsters are coming. According to the terror of scavengers mentioned by Singers, they are likely to face greater dangers. No one can tell how many ferocious and dangerous monsters lurk in the underground world. However, the purpose of this trip has not yet been achieved, and he is not willing to go back like this. Sings is also in a dilemma.

Looking at the little girl behind him, William decided to return to Miraba. This place was too dangerous for the little guy, and something weird might appear. Now that he decided to go back, Singers didn't want to return empty-handed, so several people were determined to go back. They objected to carrying the stench-filled carcasses of the scavengers, so the bodies of the scavengers washed by clean water became the final trophy.

Miraba has a special magic item shop. They are run by the Mercenary Association or other groups. The magic item shop will buy some magic items and materials that adventurers accidentally come across during their travels and cannot use them, or release some magicians. Required material collection announcements, of course they also sell expensive magic items.

The return of Sings and others caused quite a stir. This was a time when foreign merchants gathered, and the strange stench on several people (mainly William, Sings and the contaminated scavenger) made the young man Some of the onlookers understood the monsters they encountered, and their comments made others admire Sings, William and others. This was an era of brave men and heroes. People respected and praised those powerful warriors and their deeds.
