Blood tax

Chapter 270 Clues
Griffith, who was fighting ahead, heard hog-killing screams erupting in the woods.It may be that Brunaf, who retreated to the rear for treatment, was attacked, but the battle in front of him left him with no time to care.

The sudden onslaught of monsters had the texture and shape of fungi, but moved like animals.Its torso grew human-like limbs, its legs were short and swift, and its upper limbs were tightly clenched into fists like hammers.There are two large white spots on the green cap, like eyes.However, it doesn't seem to rely on sight to track down enemies.

It's funny and hideous, accompanied by the illusory sound of ding ding dong dong, as if the echo from the inside of the plant's torso is directly imprinted in the depths of the soul.

At the moment of witnessing it, the faint ticking sound that Griffith had been feeling like water droplets falling became urgent.

After knocking Brunave into the air, the mushroom monster immediately focused on Griffith and rushed over like a bison.

Galadia raised her finger, and the black thorns on the ground grew wildly, forming a cage to bind the feet of the mushroom monster.Griffith took the opportunity to revolve around the monster, and waved the light at the back of its human-like neck, which was where the cap was connected.With the sharpness of the holy sword, Griffith felt a strange jerky hindrance when the sword was cut down.The sword's edge split the cap and stem of the mushroom, and a cloud of gray smoke floated out.

This smog attached to Griffith's streamer shield, and began to erode and destroy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Avoid those spores!" Miss Elf shouted from a distance.

Although he didn't know what was abnormal about these spores, Griffith was also shrouded in extremely strong anxiety, and immediately mobilized the Eagle Riding Medal to form a second shield to resist.

"Griffith, don't fight it!"

Galadia's words were followed by silver arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced through what appeared to be the head, arms, and torso of the mushroom monster, blowing away large pieces of surface tissue.However, the mushroom monster lightly caught this round of intensive shooting, and instead spread more spores.

The area covered by this cloud of spores immediately took on a gray, withered silence.The shrubs and plants that grew tenaciously in the decaying forest withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the thorns summoned by Galadia collapsed like rotten wood that had been placed for decades.

The monster raised his hand and punched, and the wind of the fist hit his face like a landslide.Griffith dodged in a hurry, while relying on the shield to resist.He was brushed by the wind pressure of his fist, but he didn't expect that he also flew up like the orc.

Huge strange power, harmless body and highly corrosive spores.Griffith realized that this was not an enemy that could be dealt with in melee, and immediately gave up the plan of melee after landing, and used the ice spear to project from a distance.

But the explosive power of the mushroom monster was astonishing, it turned around and approached the elf with a violent assault.Galadia hastily mobilized the ability of "Feng Xing", dodging monster attacks and moving at high speed.

She jumped while running, turned around and shot back in the jump, as light as if she was flying.Although the monster's speed and momentum were astonishing, it could only chase after it, and it was pitted by the arrow clusters one after another.

Galadia is amazing!Griffith praised, but also realized that the crisis has not been resolved.Once the elf's extraordinary ability exceeds the usage time limit, it is inevitable that she will be caught up.

There must be a way to cooperate with her.Griffith concentrated and poured extraordinary power into the corrupted ground.In the dark, he felt that there were many bones under the swamp and rotten soil.

Rats, snakes, giant mutated toads, humans, wargs...

His psychic energy swept through these rotten or half-rotten corpses one by one, looking for the power he could use.Finally, he found a mutant wolf who died not long ago under the soil not far away.

You are the one!The power of the necromantic spell drives the underground wargs back to life.Huge claws broke free from the burial of the soil, and the tattered fur and rotten muscles wrapped the pale and thick arm bones, and they grasped towards the void, as if they wanted to catch the breath of life again.

The Skeletal Warg arose from the dead, awaiting Griffith's command.It was bigger than a bear, and its strong limbs had been rotted, so it could still be seen that it had amazing explosive power.A dark green fire burned in its chest, igniting its empty eyes.

Griffith untied a belt and put it around the neck of the skeleton wolf that broke through the ground, turned over, jumped up, and galloped in the direction of Galadia.

……

Brunave wiped the blood spit out of his mouth, and looked at his still fractured right arm.After treatment, the arm that was originally just a fracture suffered more tears and internal injuries.

"Treatment is risky," Miss Shadow Priest turned her head away, twirling her fingers on her long silver hair, muttering in the smallest voice, "Yes, no, get up~"

As soon as she finished speaking, a monster that had never been seen before galloped past them.

It looks like a mutated warg, but there is not a single piece of intact flesh all over its body. Its body is supported by thick gray-white bones, and black rot is dripping from the skull.It swept across the black woodland like a flickering green light, and rushed towards the elf who was blowing up and down like the wind in the distance.

Brunave and Aslante stared at the undead that only appeared in nightmares, their brains dizzy for a while.They then noticed Griffith riding the monster, and their horror grew.

"As expected of a death knight!" Brunaf was stunned for a while, then patted his thigh and shouted, "I can't do this kind of thing."

Galadia was already starting to feel tired from the fast fighting.Not only does she have to maintain psionic output to strengthen her attacks, but she also needs to spread her perception to the extreme while maneuvering at high speed, so as not to bump into stones and sharp branches while flying like the wind.

She was getting more and more tired, and her consciousness began to be a little confused.Finally, she felt a familiar aura approaching.

The massive skeletal worg cut between her and the mushroom monster.Griffith took out the conviction and raised his gun to shoot at the monster that was rushing.This gun is not pre-loaded with adamantine bullets, but shoots with ordinary lead bullets.The hot projectile hit the mushroom's cap, knocking a piece of the thick plant tissue flying.

Griffith didn't expect any results from his shooting under the situation of high-speed maneuvering and emergency stop, so he turned around and reached out to Galadia to hug her up.

Miss Elf dodged back with a "whoosh", dodging the big hand that was embracing her slender waist, raised her hand to grab it, held down his arm, and jumped directly onto the wolf's back with light steps.

She didn't sit down either, she bent her bow and set her arrow with both hands, stepped on the back of the wolf with one foot, and stepped on the top of Griffith's head with the other: "Move quickly, I won't stop until I tell you to stop!"

The Skeleton Warg ran wildly in the forest, as fast as a black whirlwind.Due to limited space, it can only circle in open spaces and places with few trees.The chasing mushroom monster did not stop for a moment, and pursued closely.

Griffith heard the howling wind in his ears, and the surrounding trees and rocks were dragging phantoms and flashing past at high speed.The running warg bumped up and down, almost making him spit out the mushroom he just ate.

In the whistling wind of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo " , do not launch charge and attack, but run around the mushroom monster, keeping a distance of more than ten steps

In such a wild rush, Galadia seemed completely unaffected.She stepped on the back of the warg and Griffith's shoulders, swayed her body lightly to maintain her balance, and shot silver arrows continuously.

Each of her arrows is wrapped in psionic energy, and when it hits the mushroom monster, it will tear its body apart and explode a cloud of spore mist.Whenever she wanted to turn, she stepped hard on one shoulder of Griffith, and the worg immediately turned to that side.

In this case, Griffith only needs to concentrate on riding the wolf.Although the mushroom monster that was chasing after him was strong, he couldn't catch up with his life.

This mutated plant has no face and no expression. If it is conscious, it will definitely feel deep despair.Its melee strength is extraordinary, its speed is very fast, and it can scatter spore clouds with a powerful corrosive effect when it is injured. It is extremely dangerous to face melee Beyonders or wizards.

However, Griffith and Galadia formed the combination it feared the most - the ranger's shooting skills were excellent, and the warg's mobility was also extremely high.

No matter how strong this mutant creature was, no matter how tenacious its vitality was, it was firmly suppressed.In less than a minute, Galadia shot ten arrows at it, and the psionic energy contained in each arrow caused the wound to burst open.Even though its vitality is strong and there is no vital point, the accumulated damage will make it riddled with holes.

If the mushroom monster could shout, it would definitely use the most vicious language to curse the shamelessness of this pair of men and women.Faced with such a long-range shooting that can't catch up and touch it, any intelligent creature would vomit blood and die of frustration.

Finally, its injuries were almost unbearable, and the thick stems were about to break due to the gaps.

A frenzied whistling hurricane swirled around the mushroom monster, accompanied by increasingly clear and strange sounds of flutes and bells, and bursts of ravings swirled in Griffith's ears.Seeing that he had nothing to do with the Mercedes-Benz Warg and Archer, the Mushroom Monster activated a special ability, which greatly increased the scope of the ability to damage sanity.

Galadia suddenly stepped on Griffith's head repeatedly.The quasi-knight thought for a while, this should mean to stop.He immediately stopped the warg, and the silver arrow clusters wrapped in the gust of wind swept across the air, heading straight for the monster.

The arrow lost its tail feathers and shaft during flight, and the arrow trailed through the mushroom's torso with a shining trail.The dazzling light suddenly went out, and the extreme darkness almost swallowed the green moonlight and air.

The mushroom monster froze for a moment as if petrified, and suddenly its whole body became shiny silver.A ball of lightning suddenly appeared at the breach, and then set off an earth-shattering explosion with a "boom".

The damp and silted forest was blown by a fresh wind, and the whistling ravings that filled my ears like a storm disappeared immediately, and the sense of sobriety and reason returned to my brain.

Griffith took a deep breath and jumped off the worg.Brunaf and Aslante were watching them not far away.

These two guys were not helping at all.He criticized in his heart, ready to search for the fragments and spoils of the mushroom monster.

At this moment, Galadia pulled his hand and came over:
"Watch out for that orc."

"Well, what do you say?"

"Don't look at him looking simple and honest, maybe there is some conspiracy," Miss Elf said while waving to the orcs and trolls nonchalantly, "His physique and strength are very strong, but his magic resistance is far worse than yours. It's kind of weird for fighters.

"Secondly, as a powerful warrior and Extraordinary, his move towards the mushroom was too reckless. Will the great chief hand over the responsibility of fighting for the position of patriarch to a reckless man?"

Makes sense... Griffith nodded secretly.

Miss Elf then pointed to the fragments all over the floor: "This is the first time I've seen this mushroom monster, and I don't know much about it. However, I always feel that it looks like a large green mushroom. Could it be because Did we eat many of our own kind to seek revenge on us? The orc knows that green mushrooms are edible, and I fear he's purposely enticing this monster to fight us."

"What's the purpose?" Griffith whispered to himself, "Shouldn't he expect to use this monster to kill us, otherwise he should take the opportunity to do it. Then, I suspect that he is testing our ability?"

"It's possible," Galadia nodded deeply, and picked up a magnificent crystal from the remains of the mushroom and put it away. "I have a guess, but there is no evidence. We can confirm it when we arrive at the Flint tribe."

……

After the mushroom monster was eliminated, the auras that had been watching him all the time left one after another.The four of them walked for a while and turned over a low mountain. The damp and gloomy atmosphere disappeared, and an orc town appeared in the river valley at their feet.

This is the town of the Flint tribe, and for some reason it has been put under martial law.A large group of wolf cavalry galloped back and forth on the avenue on horseback, and half-orc soldiers were placed on the arrow tower and the watchtower.

"Something's not quite right." Brunaf told his three companions to hide in a hidden place, and walked out by himself.

Griffith watched his surroundings vigilantly, secretly preparing his Extraordinary characteristics.If the orcs use their brains, he will resurrect the corpses underground here and tear down the tribe.

The Flint tribe is similar to large human towns. It is located in a dry and hot valley. The city walls are ingeniously integrated with the valleys and ridges to form a solid barrier.Red and yellow buildings are built on the yellow land, which makes people look rough and warm.

The wide avenue was built directly on the flat land of the river valley, with dense nests and shops on both sides, messy but clean and tidy.

Some human caravans appeared in this place majestically, bringing a large group of mules and goods to trade with the orcs.There was some irritability and anxiety on their faces, but the two sides were just talking and did not raise their hands.

According to the known information, Griffith knew that the orcs were engaged in a border conflict with the Odessa region, and the girl from Anjou was leading the border soldiers and civilians to fight against them.But these humans are still doing business in the orc territory, as if the humans who are fighting are not their own race.

The area protected by the walls of this town is not very large, but the terrain is dangerous.Griffith was here for the first time.He observed for a while, and found that the Flint tribe occupied the river valley and surrounding areas together with the east and west. To the north, it could lead to the core territory of the orcs, and to the west, it could reach Yalan and some elf territories, or the Odessa region. northeast.

This is an important place of communication between orcs, elves and humans.

Griffith began to faintly perceive the intention of the orc chieftain to send Borunav, and at the same time, he also had some speculations about the position and attitude of the current Flint patriarch.

　There may be only one update in these two days. The orc dungeon is not long, but it is an important foreshadowing of the next big event and needs to be perfected.
