Chapter 191 Encounter

Since Xia Ye Qiu Yu's spell slots had been used up early in the battle, he chose to follow the main force back to rest, leaving only the trio to explore the depths of the Khalkha Mountains.

This mountainous area located north of the Storm High Slope is rarely visited by people, and countless legends are circulated. The giant evil snowman that sucks people's brains, the wailing polar night demon tower, and the snow ghost are all legends widely circulated in the northern countries.

"Hu——"

The cold wind whistled past, covering the rocks with a layer of white frost and bringing coldness to the valley.

"Damn, this... this place is so damn cold."

Mantou shivered with cold, and bursts of white smoke came out of his nostrils.

"You deserve to be frozen for not preparing in advance."

Singo took out a bottle of blue potion and threw it to Mantou. This is a cold resistance elixir made from magical herbs growing underground. It is considered a relatively precious potion.

Mantou pulled out the cork and drank it down. It felt like a stove was lit in his stomach and he immediately warmed up.

"Comfortable."

"Good job, Singo."

Mantou nodded with a comfortable look.

"Good stuff!"

Because of his barbarian physique, Tiansheng Zhan Kuang didn't care so much, but he still drank the elixir prepared in advance. Warm and hot air came out of his body, and two streams of white smoke came out of his nostrils, making him feel very happy.

"Hoo--"

Another whistling sound came.

"Be careful, this doesn't seem to be the sound of the wind, be prepared for battle!"

Singo noticed something was wrong and reminded sharply.

This sound is not just the sound of the wind blowing through the valley, but also mixed with a shrill wail like a complaint, like the howling of a jackal.

A group of colorful strange shadows flashed on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, and there was a rustling sound.

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang quickly turned his head, and the place where the sound was made was empty again, with only dark rocks.

"It seems that there are enemies coming, hiding."

Singo pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow at the rock. The arrow exploded suddenly after it was inserted, creating a fierce fire.

The creatures hidden behind the rock were also scared by the fire and scattered, revealing their true faces.

The creatures were about two meters tall, with bristles on their high and bent backs. Their heads were like hyenas, with messy yellow teeth and blood-red triangular eyes.

Those blood-red eyes stared at the people in the valley, and they growled deep in their throats, wishing to eat them alive.

These monsters like to eat intelligent creatures the most. They like to eat their prey alive and let the prey watch themselves being devoured. They prefer to hear the screams of fear of intelligent creatures before they die. Humans account for a large proportion of their diet.

"Gnolls?"

Singo recognized this monster at a glance. He had killed many in the mines, but he felt something was wrong.

Gnolls prefer warm and humid environments. They usually appear in warm plains or underground. They rarely appear in such cold mountains. Moreover, their appearance is different from that of ordinary gnolls. Their skin surface not only has reddish-brown and black fur, but also has many places that become bald and grow sparse white scales.

The three players immediately thought of the dragon blood hobgoblins of the Burning Kingdom.

"Interesting, could it be the blood of the white dragon?"

"No wonder it can resist the cold."

"It would be best if we could capture a few alive."

Singo immediately became interested, and his eyes became more excited when he looked at the gnolls. This is a rare special species. If he offers it to the "Tower of the Giant Wisdom", he will probably earn a lot of gold coins and contributions.

The battle is about to start.

"Ah--"

The dragon vein gnolls all howled to the sky, making a crying howl, which seemed particularly weird.

These monsters pounced down from the cliff towards everyone, baring their teeth and claws, and often dragging smelly mucus at the corners of their mouths.

"Go, go! Brother Zhan Kuang, Mantou, you guys go up and hold on."

"Damn, Singo is giving you orders, why don't you go up and fight these disgusting things yourself?"

Although he complained, Mantou still went forward with his standard silver sword to fight.

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang couldn't wait any longer. He roared to the sky, stomped his feet hard, and started to go berserk. With red eyes, he rushed towards the jackals.

"Ahhh——"

"Fighting, cool!"

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang swung his giant axe horizontally, directly chopping off the head of a jackal, scaring them to retreat one after another.

Mantou took the opportunity to rush forward, using his movements like a tide, swinging his sword at an astonishing speed, and easily cut open the jackal's chest, causing the internal organs to fall out.

Singo was even more exaggerated, pulling out the hunting longbow and marking the purple hunter's mark on the jackal.

"Swoosh--"

With the sound of piercing the air, just one arrow pierced the monster's heart, and the sharp arrowhead came out from the other end of the body with blood. The power of the hunter's mark was still tearing the wound to cause additional damage, making the wolf man deader than dead.

"Don't kill too fast!"

"Leave a few alive for me!"

After shooting the wolf man to death with one arrow again, Singo did not forget to remind everyone.

In front of these professional players who have reached level 4 and whose real strength far exceeds the paper data, ordinary wolf men, even if they have a trace of white dragon blood, are far from their opponents and can only become tools for players to brush experience and loot.

But quantity can make up for the advantage of quality.

Mantou and Tiansheng Zhan Kuang were charging at the front line, but they found that the number of jackals around them did not decrease, but increased, and there were constant howling sounds coming from afar.

"Damn, how many of these dogs are there——"

"You can't kill them all, you can't kill them all."

Singo in the valley also looked serious. He looked around and saw hundreds of ugly hyena-like heads sticking out from the cliffs on both sides of the valley. The dense blood-red eyes made his scalp numb.

"Uh——Oops, we seem to have broken into their lair."

"Huh?"

More and more jackals surged up, forming a mottled wave, and the fishy smell was about to drown several people.

Even the largest jackal took a deep breath and blew out a cold breath——it was similar to the freezing breath of the white dragon!

Mantou was startled and rolled on the ground several times before he could escape. The place where he was standing was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Because they were too arrogant before, Mantou and Zhan Kuang attacked from both sides. The distance between them was quite far, and Singo was watching from a distance at the end of the valley. They could not take care of each other at all.

Mantou looked at the diverging intersection in the valley and suddenly shouted: "Let's run away separately!"

"Okay!"

So Mantou and Zhan Kuang went on the left and right, Singo went behind, and the three of them ran in different directions.

"Ah——"

These extremely greedy but not very intelligent jackals were also stunned. For a moment, they didn't know which one to chase first. They stood there howling for a long time, and then slowly formed three groups under the urging of the leader and chased in different directions.
