Chapter 47 Harpies (Part 2)
Chapter 47: Eagle Man (Part 2)
The road inlaid with the Karazan Mountains in the southern plains was opened up by wood elves.
Before these mixed-blood elves moved, they had a lot of trade with human city-states. As the wood elves moved away, the road gradually became deserted and covered with weeds. Fortunately, the road opened still exists and has not been flooded by weeds. Over the years, some down-and-out mercenary teams have gone to the ruins of the wood elves gathering place, trying to find some valuable things from it.
It is around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Murphy and his party rode their horses on their horses and advanced on the road at a slower speed. This place is not far from the outer edge of the Karazan Mountains, and is about less than fifteen kilometers away.
Those who know more about the Cold Weapon Age should know that horses have limited foot strength.
In order to preserve the strength of horses, many heavy cavalrymen led their horses to the road before joining the battle. Although the story always traveled 3500 miles a day, it was actually quite obscure. Those who traveled 3500 miles a day were walking on the official road. The road was flat and did not damage the strength of the feet. There were post stations along the way, and there were post stations all the way to change horses and people. Most of the distances between post stations in ancient China were about fifty miles. If you really wanted a horse to run hard, you didn’t have to go too far. You could basically kill a horse if you ran for about one or two hundred miles!
Unless they are light cavalry, horses will not rush to join the battle.
A qualified rider should know how to use the horse's foot strength, because that means you can still escape and save your life when you need it.
The so-called fast horse whip is actually not very reliable, just like Murphy now, if he doesn't care about the strength of the horses, when he encounters a large number of gnolls in the wild, he can't even run away.
The group of people rode a total of thirty-three riders, all of whom were jogging at the speed of their jogging.
The general guards are basically light cavalry, only equipped with long swords, javelins and leather armor. In addition, a person's weight is still within the range of the horse's bearing. If they are carrying heavy cavalry, the horses basically can't afford to ride for a long time.
About half an hour later, the group arrived in front of the dense forest outside the Karazan Mountains.
Going deep into this dense forest is within the scope of the activity of a wood elves clan. However, the inside and outside of the dense forest are different from that of the wood elves. In this dense forest, the new plants and trees have long covered up all the past roads, so it is impossible to ride a horse inside. Therefore, the group must leave the horses outside and walk into the dense forest.
The horses were left on an open grass outside the dense forest, and were guarded by three knights. This was to allow everyone to get on the horse as soon as possible and then gallop away when they encountered any danger. The open grass could speed up the horses and widen the distance.
Abandoning the knights who stayed behind to take care of the horses, Murphy and the General Guards had a total of 30 people heading towards the inside of the forest.
The group used long swords to cut off the lush grass and trees on the road that blocked their sight!
The soldiers of the General Guard consciously formed a circle around Murphy and escorted him in the middle, so that if they encountered danger, others could buy time for Murphy.
The grass and trees in the dense forest are quite lush, and towering trees that are embraced by several people can be seen everywhere.
The branches of trees blocked the sunlight, and mottled light in the dense forest was shining in. Although it did not affect the field of view, it was a little dim. There were insects and birds singing around, and there were also sounds of wild beasts being frightened and fleeing in the distance.
Although this place is close to the Karazan Mountains, most of the living creatures in the true sense are ordinary beasts.
Other terrifying creatures such as Hurricane Karazan Pterodes mostly live in the hinterland of the mountains, and few things happen to step out of the territory.
This is not surprising!
In fact, most of the ancient monsters within the human activity range of the southern plains were cleaned up by the famous and surnamed human heroes at the beginning of the Second Age! In order to open up a space for human survival, these ancient famous and surnamed human heroes even genocide of those powerful monsters!
It must be mentioned here that humans with names and surnames in ancient times were first heroes and then nobles.
Almost all the ancient aristocrats with pure blood in this world are descendants of heroes with names and surnames in ancient times. The first human aristocrats referred to those humans with surnames at the beginning of the Second Age. In fact, even now there are many human poor people with names but no surnames. In human city-states, an recognized surname is a symbol of identity.
In the original human world.
Having a name and a surname is a symbol of honor!
The group walked in the dense forest for about half an hour, and then their vision suddenly became widened.
They came to a valley.
"The smell of blood!" Murphy shrugged his nose and signaled everyone to stop.
His sense of smell is a little more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and after experiencing the war personally, Murphy became extremely sensitive to the smell of blood! Before everyone could get close to the valley, Murphy asked about the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated.
The others remained where, a quick general guard soldier approached the valley carefully and then dived in.
About three minutes later, the general guard soldier walked out with a pale face and made a gesture to everyone to show safety!
The remaining general guards escorted Murphy into the valley.
As soon as I entered the valley, even with Murphy's current courage, I couldn't help feeling a little chest tightness and inexplicably uncomfortable!
The scene in the valley was not very bloody.
There were only about a dozen zombies' wreckage and a bunch of burnt bonfires inside.
There was a wooden stick near the bonfire. There were burnt marks on the stick. Below were a pile of zombies' bones. The meat was eaten very clean, the hard skull was smashed, and the brain was swallowed up!
Yes.
The remains of more than ten werewolves in the valley were eaten and only bones were left!
Holding the nausea, Murphy put together the bones of a werewolf near the fire. The bones of this werewolf were about 2.2 meters. According to Murphy's inference, it should be an adult male werewolf. The wound that killed should be a cervical bone, because the bones had been crushed vigorously!
This discovery made Murphy a little uneasy, and he ordered the General Guard to collect and piece together the remains of the gnolls.
After checking, Murphy was worriedly finding that all the eaten gnolls were adult male gnolls, and the strongest one was even close to 2.6 meters tall!
What shocked Murphy even more was that the cause of these gnolls' death was the broken bones!
In other words, these adult male gnolls with physical bodies above 2.2 meters were killed by some creature within a few moves! Judging from the broken bones, nearly half of the adult male werewolves died of death by brute force!
What kind of creature is this?
What has such a terrible power?
Even the strong adult male gnoll is a crushing force?
Murphy looked around the valley, because it was already some time since then. Murphy only vaguely found a few clear footprints.
The footprints are very large, and they are not worn with shoes, and they are left behind barefoot. The shape of the foot is a bit similar to that of a human, but there are only three toes.
Murphy roughly restored the body shape of this creature in his mind.
In the end, he judged that this terrifying creature was more than three meters tall and was huge, and weighed 400 pounds or more than 150 kilograms! This creature has very strong power, and there were almost no casualties on its own in the case of more than ten adult male gnolls on the opposite side!
It can be said that this creature held a zither picnic meeting in this valley with its crushing power a few days ago...
The footprints were heading towards the east, and there was no sign of coming back. It seemed that these terrible creatures were really just passing by.
"Huh! Let's go!" Although it was impossible to tell which creature was done, Murphy had roughly estimated the terrifying combat power of this creature!
As of now, almost no one in the territory can beat these creatures head-on.
The strength of this kind of crushing the elite zombies is completely beyond the range that ordinary humans can fight against!
Not far from the valley is a stream.
Next to the stream, Murphy unexpectedly saw the bodies of some other creatures.
At first glance, Murphy thought he had seen an angel because he saw the snow-white feathers and the beautiful female face. When he got closer, he realized that these creatures lying motionless on the ground had many physiological characteristics that were not human!
Such as eagle's claws and feathers on their heads.
But soon, he found that one of these creatures was still slightly undulating, obviously still having a breath.
The living creature has obvious elf characteristics, with gorgeous faces, long ears and slender figures. She is wearing a snow-white silver-inlaid long-distance race, and two quaint rings on her slender fingers. Unlike other corpses, this living creature has long legs, not a pair of eagle claws. Her arms are slender, and her pure white wings are spread out behind her. If the ears with obvious elf characteristics are eliminated, it looks like an angel!
What race is this?
Although the living creatures are similar to those dead hawks, Murphy feels that they should not be the same race.
The dead creature had eagle claws, with arms and paired wings, no hair, and bunches of feathers on its head. But the creature with breath had legs, arms and long hair. If it weren't for a pair of pure white wings behind it, Murphy almost thought she was an elf! After hesitating for a moment, Murphy immediately possessed herself and picked up the elf-like creature whose chest was slightly ups and downs, and took out the holy water from her arms and poured it into her mouth. Then, Murphy pulled out the dagger to pull out a long arrow that penetrated her chest!
The life aura of this elves-like creature is already very weak.
