The road connecting the southern plains with the karazan mountains 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 barren and full of weeds, but fortunately, the road still exists and has not been inundated by weeds. Over the years, some down-to-earth mercenary teams will go to the site where the wood elves gather, trying to find some valuable things from it.
It''s about three o''clock in the afternoon.
Murphy and his party rode slowly along the road, which is not far from the outside of the karazan mountains, less than 15 kilometers away.
Those who know more about the age of cold weapons should know that the strength of a horse''s feet is limited.
In order to preserve the strength of the horse''s feet, many heavy cavalry lead the horse to the road before they join the battle. In the story, people who travel three or five hundred miles a day are actually obscure. Those who travel three or five hundred miles a day are all officials. The road is smooth and does not hurt their feet. Besides, there are post stations along the way. They change horses all the way. In ancient China, the distance between post stations was about 50 Li. If you really want to run like a horse, you don''t have to go too far. If you run about one or two hundred miles, you can basically lose a horse!
Unless it''s a light cavalry, horses don''t rush before they join the fight.
A qualified rider should know how to use the strength of the horse''s foot, because it means that you can still escape and save your life when you need it.
The so-called fast horse whip is not very reliable, just like Murphy now, if he does not cherish the horse''s foot strength. When he meets a large number of jackals in the wild, he can''t even run.
A total of 33 people riding, are in accordance with the speed of jogging forward.
The general guard is basically light cavalry, only equipped with sword, javelin and leather armour, plus a person''s weight is still within the range of the horse. If it''s carrying heavy cavalry or something, basically the horses 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 activities of a wood elf clan. However, the dense forest is different from the outside. Because of the migration of wood elves, the new vegetation has covered all the roads in the past. It is impossible to ride a horse in the dense forest. So the party had to leave the horses outside and walk into the dense forest.
The horse was left in an open meadow outside the dense forest, guarded by three knights. This is in case of any danger, everyone can get on the horse as soon as possible and then gallop away. Open grass allows the horse to accelerate and distance.
In addition to the horsemen who were left to look after the horses, Murphy, together with the general''s guard, made a total of 30 people to move inside the dense forest.
A group of people with a long sword to open the road, cut down the lush vegetation blocking the sight on the road!
The soldiers of the general guard consciously formed a circle around Murphy and escorted him in the middle, so that others could buy time for Murphy in case of danger.
The vegetation in the dense forest is quite luxuriant, and the towering trees surrounded by several people can be seen everywhere.
The branches of the trees blocked the sunlight, and the mottled light in the dense forest was shining in. Although it does not affect the visual field, it is slightly dim. There was the sound of insects and birds all around, and some wild animals were scared to flee in the distance.
Although it is close to the karazan mountains, most of the real living creatures are ordinary beasts.
Most of the other terrible creatures, such as Hurricane karazan and pterosaurs, live in the hinterland of the mountains and rarely step out of their territory.
It''s not surprising!
As a matter of fact, most of the ancient Warcraft in the area of human activities in the southern plains were swept away by the famous human heroes at the beginning of the second era! In order to open up a space for human survival, these ancient heroes even exterminate those powerful Warcraft!
It must be mentioned here that in ancient times, people with names and surnames were first heroes, then nobles.
Almost all the ancient aristocrats with pure blood in this world are the descendants of heroes with names and surnames in ancient times. The first group of human nobles, at the beginning of the second era, were those with surnames. In fact, even now, there are many poor people who have first names but not surnames. In the human city-state, a recognized surname is a symbol of identity.
In the original human world.
Having a name and a surname is a symbol of honor!
They walked in the dense forest for about half an hour, and then their vision widened.
They came to a hollow.
"Bloody smell!" Murphy shrugged his nose and motioned everyone to stop.
His sense of smell is a little more sensitive than ordinary people, and after experiencing the war, Murphy became extremely sensitive to the smell of blood! Before we got close to the valley, Murphy asked about the smell of blood in the air.
The others stayed where they were, and an agile general guard approached the hollow carefully, then dived in.
About three minutes later, the general came out pale and made a sign of safety to everyone!
The rest of the general guard escorted Murphy into the hollow.
Once in the hollow Valley, even with Murphy''s courage now, I can''t help feeling a burst of chest tightness, inexplicably uncomfortable!
The scene in the hollow is not so bloody.
There are only about a dozen remains of jackals and a burnt out bonfire.
There is a stick driving near the campfire. There are scorched marks on the stick. Below is a pile of jackal bones. The meat is clean, the hard skull is broken, and the brain is swallowed up!
yes.
The remains of more than ten jackals in the hollow valley were eaten, leaving only bones!
Struggling with nausea, Murphy reassembles the bones of a jackal near the fire. This jackal''s skeleton is about 2.2 meters. According to Murphy''s inference, it should be an adult male jackal. The wound to death should be the neck bone, because the bone has been crushed!
This discovery made Murphy a little uneasy. He ordered the general''s guard to collect the remains of the wolf man.
After a survey, Murphy was uneasy to find that all the jackals were adult male jackals, and the strongest one was even close to 2.6 meters tall!
What makes Murphy even more astonished is that all of these jackals died of broken bones!
In other words, all of these adult male jackals with a physique of more than 2.2 meters were crushed to death by some creature within a few moves! From the perspective of broken bones, nearly half of adult male jackals were killed by brute force!
What kind of creature is this?
What has such terrible power?
Even for a strong adult male jackal?
Murphy looked around the hollow, for it had been some time since then. Murphy found only a few fairly clear footprints.
The footprints are very big. There are no shoes on. They are barefoot. The shape of the feet is a bit similar to that of human beings, but they only have three toes.
Murphy roughly restored the body shape of this creature in his mind.
Finally, he judged that the height of this terrible creature was more than three meters, and it was huge, and its weight could reach 400 pounds, that is, more than 150 kg! The power of this creature is very strong. In the case of more than ten adult male jackals, there are almost no casualties!
It can be said that this creature held a jackal picnic in this hollow valley a few days ago with crushing force
The footprints went to the East, and there was no trace of coming back. It seems that these terrible creatures are just passing by.
"Hoo! Let''s go Although it''s impossible to judge what kind of creature did it, Murphy has roughly estimated the terrible fighting power of this creature!
At present, few people in the territory are able to shake these creatures head on.
This kind of crushing jackal elite strength has gone beyond the scope of ordinary human can fight!
Not far from the valley is a stream.
Next to the stream, Murphy accidentally saw the bodies of other creatures.
At first glance, Murphy thought that he had seen the angel, because he saw the white feathers and the beautiful face of a woman. When he got closer, he found that these motionless creatures lying on the ground had many physiological characteristics that did not belong to human beings!
Like the talons and the feathers on the head.
But soon, he found out that one of these creatures had a slightly undulating chest, which was obviously still breathing.
The living creatures have obvious characteristics of elves, with gorgeous appearance, narrow ears and slender posture. They are wearing a snow-white silver thread for long-distance running and two simple rings on their slender fingers. Different from other corpses, this living creature has a pair of slender legs, not a pair of Eagle claws. Her arms are slim, and a pair of pure white wings open behind her. If the ears with obvious elf characteristics are excluded, she looks like an angel!
What race is this?
Although the living creatures are similar to the dead falcons, Murphy feels that they are not of the same race.
Dead creatures have claws, arms are a pair of wings, no hair, the top of the head is a bunch of feathers. But the creature with breath had legs, arms and long hair. If it wasn''t for a pair of pure white wings on the back, Murphy almost thought she was an elf! After a little hesitation, Murphy immediately took up the elf like creature whose chest was slightly undulating and had not lost the breath of life, took out the holy water from her arms and gently poured it into her mouth. Then, Murphy pulls out a dagger and prepares to pull out a long arrow that runs through her chest!
The life breath of this elf like creature is very weak.
First wake her up!
