Chapter 506: Moving in a Positive Direction

The Devil's Claw is a very common carnivorous monster of nearly large size in the Underdark. It has a vulture-like head and a giant beetle-like body, as well as an exoskeleton decorated with spikes and bone protrusions, but what makes these monsters really famous is the two terrifying claws that give them their name.

The Devil's Claw's hooked limbs allow them to move freely on the surface of rocks. Using their climbing skills to ambush prey from above the dark caves is what Devil's Claw likes to do most, but if the surrounding environment does not support them to do so, they will also carefully lurk around like wolves, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Such attacks are very dangerous. If they are not discovered in advance, the victims will often be disemboweled by the claws of the Devil's Claw in an instant. They have seen such scenes.

Since the spawns entered the Underdark, they have encountered four or five waves of attacks from the Devil's Claw. When they first encountered these monsters, two spawns were seriously injured by the Devil's Claw because they were not vigilant enough.

If it weren't for Noshiel's quick arrival, he only took a dozen seconds to sprint from the front of the team to the victim, and then smashed the monsters' heads with three punches and two kicks, the two poor derivatives would probably have died on the spot.

However, even if Noshiel reacted quickly enough and used the blood of the claw monsters to help the two injured derivatives recover, this attack also exposed their shortcomings of being too weak in vigilance and too lacking in combat experience. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, or at least to allow the derivatives to buy themselves some time when danger occurs, Noshiel also made a decisive decision to suspend the journey.

He found a fairly wide cave and divided the team into eight circles. He asked Asdelon and his team to teach these derivatives the fighting methods of vampires, including how to activate the sensitive senses that only vampires have, how to know where to be injured without affecting their self-healing ability, and how to maximize the fangs that can paralyze the opponent once bitten, continuously extract the enemy's blood and strength, and make the enemy lose the ability to resist.

These things are very easy to understand, especially for these derivatives. What Asdelon and his team said is completely their instinct, and it is a natural strategy that can be fully utilized as long as they are a little familiar with it.

Although Noshier is not a vampire and cannot explain it as intuitively as Asdelon and his team to guide the fighting instincts of these derivatives, Noshier's own strength makes up for this. To be frank, his combat experience and strategic knowledge are more than the thousands of people on the scene combined, so what he teaches is far more versatile than what Asdelon and his team said.

Noshiel told them what kind of dangers there are in the Underdark, what kind of common monsters there are, and how to deal with these monsters, so that they are full of a sense of crisis, and never let down their guard at any time and anywhere, and always maintain the maximum sense of the outside world, how to make full use of the desire for blood, let this desire overwhelm their own fear of fighting and gain the courage to resist, and how to calm down quickly after the battle to avoid being completely dominated by this bloodthirsty desire.

These things are all Noshiel's practical combat experience, from him, a barbarian with rage as the core ability, and he has fully mastered the skill of rage. Although these derivatives cannot fully master these skills in a short time, just a few tricks are enough to be regarded as incomparably precious to these derivatives. As long as they can work hard in this direction in the future, maybe one day, they can truly rely on their will to overcome their desire for blood.

Of course, even if they can really achieve this level, it will take a long time in the future. As for the current derivatives, Noshier's requirements for them are very relaxed. In addition to not drinking human blood, his biggest requirement for them now is to remember the key information given to them and protect themselves on the way forward.

But now it seems that Noshier's goal has actually been achieved.

Noshier gently waved his wings and hovered in the air. Through the excellent vision given by the eagle totem, he observed the few terrifying claws that were gradually surrounded by the derivatives from a distance of nearly 600 meters.

At this time, these terrifying claws also felt the danger. They began to roar uneasily, and waved their arms and claws randomly as if to deter them, but this level of bluffing did not coax the derivatives. They did not retreat at all, but just surrounded them completely step by step.

At the moment when the encirclement was completely formed, the more than 40 derivatives surrounding the three giant claw monsters seemed to have received a signal at the same time. They pounced on the claw monsters at a speed that ordinary people could only see afterimages!

These monsters could not withstand the impact of so many derivatives and were pinned to the ground in just one encounter. The solid carapace covering their entire bodies could not stop the claws and fangs of the derivatives. After pounced on them with the advantage of number and weight, the derivatives on the claw monsters stretched out their claws and hooked the gaps in the carapace of the claw monsters in a series of parts such as the shoulders, waist, abdomen, neck, and arms, and then used these gaps as breakthrough points to claw and bite crazily.

Under such a weak attack, these shells only lasted for a few seconds before being broken one after another. The derivatives who succeeded in hunting roared with excitement, and then immediately lowered their heads to drink the not-so-sweet blood.

From the attack to the derivatives drinking a delicious meal, all these events took less than three minutes in total, and the riots in that area had completely subsided. Seeing this, Noshil nodded with satisfaction.

The Devil Claws always hunt in groups and work together to deal with the biggest and most dangerous enemies, but if the battle situation falls into an unfavorable situation, the Devil Claws will immediately climb up the rock wall of the cave and escape. This information is the information that Noshil has explained to other derivatives, and the performance of the derivatives tells Noshil that these guys really remember his teachings and the habits and weaknesses of these monsters.

These guys have become more and more skilled, and monsters of the level of Devil Claws can no longer threaten them.
