The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Chapter 48
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack ahead!"

In the lush forest, there is a winding path hidden.

There is no road here, but there are many wildebeest carriages passing by, so they walked out of such a forest path.

At this moment, Ron and his party were walking on this narrow path, and in front of the wildebeest was a group of traveling merchants they encountered on the road.

As a businessman, you know everything.

"It's an burrower! Damn it, use the stone net! Don't let its acid touch you!"

The captain of the guard shouted hurriedly.

They're in trouble, a Tier [-] Warcraft Digger!

Burgworms are giant multi-legged insects whose long tentacles vibrate with movement around them.

Its legs end with sharp claws, which are suitable for digging and catching prey, and its strong jaws can even bite small trees in two!

The captain of the guard leading the caravan commanded the guards to attack the Tier [-] monster in an orderly manner.

The merchants in the caravan were hiding in the carriages and shivering.

They were a small business group, and this was their first long-distance trade. They did not expect to encounter a rare Tier [-] monster like the Digger on the way.

It can be regarded as excellent luck.

[Business group: A group of businessmen pooled money to hire a team of carriages and escorts, so that weak businessmen can also conduct long-distance trade, so a special group appeared. 】

Fortunately, the hired guard team is more reliable, and the leading guard captain is a silver-ranked warrior.

It can be seen from his weather-beaten cheeks that he is at least 40 years old.

Under his command, this second-tier monster was outnumbered after all, with four claws and twenty hands.

As the crowd attacked, there were more and more tiny wounds on its chitin carapace.

"laugh!"

The dying burg spits out its last attack of acid, covering a linear area 30 feet long and 5 feet wide in front of it.

"I come!"

The captain of the guard skillfully propped up the gray cotton stone net, and all the green acid was sprayed on the net, making a chi-chi sound.

But after all, it didn't corrode the net.

The guards under the net saw the right moment and rushed forward immediately, launching a just group fight.

Knives, axes, swords, and hammers smashed wildly against the shell.

"Pfft!"

In the end, the captain of the guard ended the encounter with a Western knife full of fighting spirit.

The sharp blade sliced ​​across the middle, cutting the three-meter-tall digger into two pieces.

A brilliant victory!

[Comment from Ron. 】

Looking at the guards gathered together to cheer and celebrate, Ron observed with great interest.

One of the characteristics of the rainbow dragon: like to watch stage plays, especially human ones.

This also makes them the legendary dragons who are best at dealing with intelligent creatures (humans) among the three legendary dragon species.

The group of people in front of them virtually became actors in Ron's play.

"I don't know if they will be so happy after another lurking digger launches an attack."

Ron thought secretly in his heart.

Ron and his convoy had been traveling for a month and a half on their way to the capital.

In another week or so, they will reach the capital of Ovia.

The reason why they walked so fast was that apart from going to the village for supplies a few times on the way, they basically never stopped at other times.

The two wildebeest were almost exhausted.

As a last resort, Ron bought two more wildebeests in the passing village, and they drove them in rotation so that they didn't die from exhaustion.

The apprentices in the car all had sallow faces and pained expressions, and they no longer had the same demeanor they had in Oracle Town.

The long ride on the wildebeest made each of them suffer from motion sickness to varying degrees.

The caravan in front met by chance at the last supply point, and the final destination of the two parties was the same.

Seeing the badge of the School of Magic worn on the carriage, this group of shrewd businessmen knew that there must be a magic master accompanying Ron and his party.

So I moved my mind and wanted to go with Ron and his party, and have a helper to take care of them if they were in danger.

It didn't matter to Ron, so he let them follow.

It happened that there were no shows on the road.

Ron propped his chin up, enjoying the crispy biscuits fed by Vivienne beside him.

"Dong dong."

His left paw tapped lightly on the edge of the car window, and Ron watched quietly as the female digger approached the cheering crowd quietly.

Warcraft like earth diggers are generally solitary, unless they are in estrus.

Apparently, the husband of this digger lady died on the way to hunt for her children.

And she wanted to surprise this group of cheering people.

"what is this!!!"

Panic and miserable cries came.

The female digger suddenly rushed out from the ground, her four black pearl-like compound eyes staring at the target she had aimed at long ago.

She grabbed a young guard with her sharp jaws, then quickly retracted into the mud hole, secreting acidic digestive enzymes while crushing, so that the prey could be easily dissolved and swallowed.

"Woo! Woo..."

Under the action of the acidic digestive enzymes, the captured guard just yelled, and then stopped making any movement.

"Jack!"

"Damn it, why are there two!"

The sudden attack caused confusion among the crowd. Everyone subconsciously searched for cover, but they bumped into each other.

"Go away!"

At the critical moment, the captain of the guard stood up.

He brandished the western knife and rushed to the crypt where only a pair of mouse leather boots were exposed outside.

Ugers use their powerful jaws to dig winding tunnels deep underground, and often use this skill to hunt for food.

"laugh!"

A large amount of acid was sprayed on the captain of the guard, but luckily he kept holding the asbestos net and didn't let go.

Bits of acid dripped on his shoulders through the cracks, and quickly corroded after contacting the armor.

"Hmm!!!"

The captain of the guard endured the severe pain and rushed to the digger.

The khaki female digger obviously didn't expect this human being to be so crazy, and rushed up against its acid.

"brush!"

Life and death are all in one thought.

The captain of the guard aroused all his fighting spirit and attached it to the knife.

A beautiful horizontal slash decapitated the Digger Owl.

The heads of the four compound eyes fell into the crypt with a "poof".

"Pull me up! Prepare water!"

Only then did the people on the surface come to their senses, and stretched out their hands together to drag the two people out of the cave.

It's a pity that the guard who was attacked had already lost his breath.

His neck was almost broken by the sharp mouthparts of the female digger.

A team member was cleaning the wound of the captain of the guard who was corroded by strong acid with a water bag.

The captain of the guard ignored the injured arm, endured the severe pain and directed everyone to take safety precautions.

This time, the crowd no longer cheered, but silently picked up the three corpses.

【A narrow victory】

Ron commented again.

If the female burrower could kill the captain of the guard directly, maybe it still has a chance of victory.

After all, except for the captain of the guard, no one in the basic guard can easily break through its chitin carapace.

Of course, its ending also cannot escape the fate of death.

Who let the caravan be followed by a fire magician and a legendary dragon?

The apprentices in the car who witnessed the whole battle fell silent.

This was the first time I saw a close combat between a human and a monster on the road, and it was also the first time I saw a human being killed by a monster.

Most of the monsters encountered on the road were basically eliminated by Morey's fireball, and there was no feeling of nervousness or fear at all.

In the carriage, Vivienne and Carol sighed, a life was lost just like that.

They didn't know that there was a second digger.

When seeing the guards working together to kill the male burrower, Carroll was also excitedly discussing the information about this insect monster with Vivienne.

Did not expect the accident to come so quickly.

The guards seemed to be used to all this, they buried their teammates skillfully, and then used a knife to cut open the burrower's stomach, looking for the magic core.

Not every monster has a magic core, and the higher the level of monsters, the higher the probability of producing a magic core.

For a Tier [-] magical beast like the Digger, sometimes four or five of them were killed, and even a single magic core might not be found.

Fortunately, they found a green magic core in the body of the female burrower.

The contract between the merchant group and the escort team stated that all the monsters killed on the escorting road belonged to the escort team.

So this valuable second-order magic core can make up for the injured hearts of the guards.

"Ok?"

Ron noticed a group of strange human breaths in the detection magic area.

As a cautious dragon, he keeps releasing high-intensity detection magic for 24 hours.

His detection area is within [-] kilometers around him.

"No, not just humans?"

Ron frowned, the number of this group of humans seems a bit too much?And it is also mixed with the smell of other creatures.

"This shape is"

"Half-orc?"
