An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 65 Help each other
Facing the owlbear's continuous and intensive attack, Malone could only evade.
There is almost no room for fighting back!

He was scratched several times by long and sharp claws. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and was not injured, nor was he directly shot in the front.

This big monster is not a goblin. Even if the armor can weaken the impact,

He couldn't guarantee that he would not be injured internally.

What's more, the giant sword is heavy. Unlike other weapons, it takes half a second to lift it up, and it also takes time to swing it! Although it was heard for a moment,

But just this one breath was enough for the owlbear to slap him!
Next to them, Karak and Astelon kept throwing rocks and shooting arrows in an attempt to distract attention, but the ferocious monster didn't react much.
The state is very focused.

After all, Ma Long's two sword strikes really hurt it...

This inevitably makes the owlbear set its primary target for killing the paladin. Due to its nature, it is not aggressive like ordinary beasts.
He will weigh the pros and cons, seek blessings and avoid disasters, and run away decisively after being injured.

Wang!Wang!
At this moment, dogs barked in the dark forest, and a white dog suddenly sprang out from a bush, running quickly to the side of the owlbear.
Open your voice and scream loudly.

The noise was particularly disturbing. Of course, the owlbear couldn't stand the sound either.
He turned around and slapped it with his paw. However, the dog was very sensitive and reacted very quickly. Sayazi slipped away and the owlbear couldn't hit it at all.

Seeing that the opponent's attention was diverted, Ma Long took the opportunity to jump up, landed on the owlbear's back, and grabbed the ax embedded in the opponent's forehead.
Pull it out with all your strength! The owlbear raised his paws and scratched himself before running away.

After landing, he immediately joined up with Karak and threw the ax to each other. When the weapon was back in his hands, the two nodded to each other.

They separated again and launched a counterattack from both sides of the owlbear in a tacit understanding!
No matter how ferocious it is, it will always be single.

With their numerical advantage, Malone and Karak work well together. No matter which side the Owlbear is defending, the other person can hit it hard.

In addition, Asteron stood in the distance and fired arrows from time to time according to the situation.

And the barking noise of the dog attracts attention.

It didn't take long for the owlbear to have more and more wounds and bleeding. An ordinary beast would definitely find a way to escape at this time.
However, this guy just didn't do that and fought even more angrily while howling.

But the next second, the situation changed.

A young owl bear, which was slightly larger than a dog, appeared in the bushes and ran to the big owl bear to fight with it!
The little owlbear poses no threat, but it makes the big owlbear more powerful.
The combat style has changed from active attack to passive defense.

"Back off! Stop it!"

Seeing the young owlbear appear, Ma Long shouted and stopped attacking, and quickly opened a safe distance.

As soon as these words came out, Karak stopped suddenly. Astelon raised his eyebrows, silently relaxed the bowstring, and gave up shooting.

Because of the arrival of the child, the owlbear stopped attacking and kept a close eye on the three people and the dog.
Now it is scarred and exhausted.

"Come closer and let them go."

Putting his sword on the ground, Ma Long took a breath and rested, beckoning to his companions.

"What?! Let it go!? This beast chased me..."

"Shut up, I've made up my mind."

Ma Long selectively ignored and stopped Astelon's complaints. He had no intention of killing the owlbear from the beginning.
What you always want to do is to inflict injuries in order to scare the opponent away. If you really want to kill,
Then it's not a chop, it's a stab!

At first, he had the chance to kill him with one blow, but he just didn't choose to do it.

Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Gouzi stopped barking and quickly ran to the front of Ma Long, crouched down and let out a low growl to intimidate him.

Seeing this scene, the two owlbears did not dare to stay any longer.

He decisively chose a direction to escape, and soon disappeared into the dark forest.

This battle came to an end. Karak took a long breath and asked:
"Asteron, what are you doing? You promised to come back before dark." "...Please~ You guys have to eat and drink well, but I also have to fill my stomach."

Regarding this point, Astelon was very depressed. Although he missed the promised return time, the reason was impeccable and no one wanted to go hungry.

"Are you full now?"

Ma Long shook his head helplessly and asked.

Mentioning this matter, Asteron glanced at someone pitifully,
Replied with a look full of disappointment:

"...It's okay. I caught a wild boar before and took a few bites, but the thing suddenly appeared and kept chasing me!"

"If I hadn't heard someone yelling, sooner or later I would have been caught up and eaten."

If she was interrupted during her meal, if it was something easy to deal with, she would definitely kill it on the spot and add another meal, but the target was an owlbear that was several times her size, so there was no other way but to run away...

"Be patient tonight, and I'll let you have a good meal tomorrow."

After saying that, Ma Long turned to look at the dog beside him, which was wagging its tail. It was scratching.

It must have found it by smell. It was very lucky that it didn't encounter a predator. There are many ferocious beasts faster than dogs in the forest.

Now that he has come to find him, he seems to understand that his owner has fallen asleep and will not wake up again...

"Hey, hey, hey, you did a great job just now, tickle."

Kneeling down, Ma Long smiled affectionately and stroked the dog's head. If it hadn't come to attract attention, he might still be fighting now, and as the disadvantaged party!
Wang Wang!

Maybe he understood what he said, so he wagged his tail harder and rubbed his hand with his head.

"Okay, okay, from now on, just follow me and set off and return to the camp."

……

Following the marked points along the way, the three people and one dog returned to the Moon Shelter smoothly, and at the same time they saw the tragic scene of corpses everywhere.

They were all the corpses of goblins, but the reality was somewhat different from what Ma Long imagined.

It was not what Asteron said. She was bleeding from all her orifices and was poisoned to death. The fatal injury was a penetration in the chest. Judging from the shape of the wound,

It was caused by Shadow Heart's short spear and Weir's stabbing sword!
Seeing this, Ma Long subconsciously glanced at someone, and Astailun looked even more confused...

And when they returned to the cellar, Shadow Heart, Weir and Gale came over with the intention of asking for revenge, and everyone looked very ugly.

"Is the thing you made considered poison!?"

This time Ying Xin could no longer restrain his anger and asked angrily and loudly.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it work?"

"The "poison" you made only gave the goblins a stomachache and was not fatal at all."

Seeing Astelon's puzzled look, Weier crossed his arms and explained in a rather unhappy tone:
"If it were stronger, I wouldn't say anything to make them lose their fighting ability, but the goblins still have some resistance!"

"If we hadn't reacted quickly, Gale would have almost been hacked to death by those guys!"

Although he almost encountered an accident, Gale had no intention of pursuing his fault and sighed:
"I will take care of the poison after that."
