An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 64 Owlbear
"Asteron!"

Walking in the dark and terrifyingly silent forest, Ma Long carried a huge glowing sword and shouted loudly with his voice wide open as he walked,
After all, he didn't know where the other party had walked. Although it would attract the attention of some predators, this was the only way.

Karak followed silently, holding an axe.

A pair of shining vertical pupils did not dare to relax for a moment, vigilantly surveying the surrounding environment.

The wilderness after nightfall is very dangerous! Many kinds of terrifying man-eating beasts like to wait for this time to come out of their caves to look for food...

But in order to find the "missing" companion, this risk has to be taken.

"Asteron! You are...ahem."

Ma Long's throat was as dry as if there was a fire because he called him countless times.
But the worry in his eyes became more and more serious. He regretted that he didn't force people to move together before, but now it's better.

Not only was the person gone, but now he had to go out and look for it.

"If not, let me do it."

At this time, Karak volunteered to take over. He immediately stopped moving, took a deep breath, and opened his voice completely.

Let out a loud roar towards the sky!
Although there are no words, the sound is loud enough! All of a sudden, many small animals living on the treetops were awakened, and they all flapped their wings and flew away.

Letting out a frightened sound, he flew into the sky...

"I think she can probably hear it now."

Because the sounds of humans and animals are different, Karak felt that it would be easier to call out names by simply shouting, and he could also increase the volume significantly.
However, this is only his personal idea.

The real situation is that the sound spreads out, and you may not be able to distinguish it from a distance.

On the contrary, it will make the lost person think that he is some kind of monster or beast...

Thinking of the other party was also a kind act. Ma Long sighed helplessly, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to the various movements in the forest.
Birds, wild boars, deer, multiple sounds gradually came, but there were no people.

Sudden! A high-pitched eagle chirped in the forest! The position and distance are unknown, but the movement is really quite big! Hearing this sound,

Ma Long opened his eyes suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically in an instant!
"It's strange, isn't the eagle sleeping this late at night?"

On the side, Karak scratched his head, quite confused.

"...No, that sound is not an eagle, something is coming! Get ready to fight!"

Boom!Boom!
The moment he finished speaking, there was a huge noise in the forest, as if there was some kind of huge creature running wildly!
And it was accompanied by the sound of trees being broken...

At this point, Karak reacted and quickly grasped the ax with both hands, ready for battle.

It is impossible to run. If you turn around in this dark environment, you will definitely get lost in the forest! Markings along the trail will also be completely missing.

After three breaths, the movement became louder and louder, and suddenly a figure appeared in their sight!
Arriving at their location first.

Take a closer look and see that it is the "missing" Asteron! However, her face was full of panic at this time, and she ran towards Ma Long quickly, panting,

And, urging loudly:
"Run!"

boom!
Then a tall, unknown creature shrouded in darkness pushed down a thick tree and arrived in front of them a step slower.
Under the shining light of the power of the oath,

Malone saw clearly the hidden appearance of this mysterious guy.

It is a huge "bear" more than three meters tall, with bird feathers, a sharp beak, and big claws! He instantly recognized his identity:

"Owlbear!" The owlbear is like a unique monster born from the combination of an owl and a bear. It has the advantages of both, with super night vision and a keen sense of smell.

It is unusually large in size, has an irritable, violent, and aggressive personality, and its sharp claws and beak are
It can easily penetrate the armor of ordinary adventurers! Even if you don't use the above two, its powerful power is enough to beat people into meat!

"Why don't you run?!"

Arriving next to his companions, Asteron saw that they all stopped where they were,
He had no choice but to turn around and prepare to fight.

"I can't walk. It's so dark. I'm running around here and there. Don't think about going back to Moon Shelter tonight."

To explain, Ma Long stared at the tall owlbear with a focused expression.
This monster did not attack immediately. It tilted its head, and its big round eyes were full of doubts and curiosity.
But the next moment, its heavy and huge body charged forward like a tank!

Due to its size and weight, it could not run very fast. Ma Long and others reacted and quickly dispersed to avoid it.

The furious Karak dodged the collision and immediately stepped forward and raised his ax to chop the owlbear on the butt!
With extraordinary strength, the ax blade successfully broke through the surface layer of the opponent's skin, but the thick fat layer underneath easily absorbed the entire impact.

Failed to cause considerable damage to the target.

After being traumatized, the owlbear became even more angry. He turned around, raised his front paws and struck fiercely!
Since he had fought bloody battles in Hell, Karak had rich combat experience. The effect of this attack was not very good, so he immediately retreated and distanced himself.

Avoid the owlbear's subsequent claw attack in advance.

On the other side, Asteron drew her bow and fired continuously, and several arcing arrows flew out rapidly.

Plunge into the subcutaneous fat of this big monster!
Causing it to howl in pain and causing part of the body to become paralyzed after being struck.

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Ma Long raised his sword, quickly rushed forward and slashed hard at the owlbear's hind limbs!
If it were an ordinary weapon, it would definitely be blocked by the fat layer and absorb the impact.
But the giant sword attached to the power of the oath has extremely high "armor-piercing properties"! Even fists have considerable lethality!

Phew!

The blade of the sword is like a hot knife cutting through butter, cutting through the fat without any hindrance, injuring the lower body and fascia, causing blood to flow out!

Seeing this, Ma Long turned around and used the inertia of rotation to raise his sword and strike the owlbear on the side again! Two consecutive attacks, both causing effective damage.

However, he did not rush for success and continued to attack. Instead, he quickly retreated.
Keep a safe enough distance.

Feeling his own blood flowing out, the owlbear jumped up in anger!

With the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, he flew towards Ma Long's position! Weighing several tons, if hit, it will definitely turn into a piece of meat pie...

Fortunately, Ma Long didn't move his gaze for a moment. Seeing this situation, he quickly threw himself forward and slid for a short distance.

He successfully escaped the heavy pressure of the owlbear's big butt.

After the monster landed, it rolled in a circle and quickly adjusted its direction. However, the surrounding trees suffered damage, and several large trees were easily broken and toppled.

"Ugh!"

Karak roared loudly, raised his ax high, and threw it hard at the owlbear's head. After the giant ax spun several times in the air,

The ax blade pointed outwards and was embedded in the opponent's forehead, causing blood to flow on the spot.

Although he bought enough time for Ma Long to get up, he also lost his only weapon...

The owlbear shook his head violently and rubbed it with his paws, but failed to get the ax off.

Furious, it rushed towards Ma Long again! It continuously strikes with its sharp claws and launches very consistent and violent attacks with its sharp beak.
