Lord Highlander

   Chapter 728 717. Warcraft Forest

  Aung San was holding the big wooden bowl, looking at the baked wheat cakes floating in the oil soup and such a large piece of soft boiled wild boar, a strong aroma stimulated his taste buds.

  He has eaten wild boar in the northern hills of Dodan Canyon all these years, and it can even be said that he is already tired of eating it.

  Every time it is nothing more than grilling on the fire, and this way of eating is nothing new to Aung San.

The only difference is that the cavalry are more willing to add some spicy spices and salt to the soup pot than the collectors. Basically, the food with heavy salt taste will not be too bad. The price of salt in Dodan Town is not cheap. Collectors composed of aborigines are usually reluctant to eat salt like this.

  Suldak threw a piece of oily fat back into the soup pot.

  The cavalry in the barren land are all bumpkins. The food in those villages is usually very scarce, and sometimes there is no meat for several months. Probably only they think that the most delicious part of wild boars is their thick fat.

  In fact, wild boars climb mountains and ridges every day, and a lot of exercise makes the fat layer on wild boars extremely limited. The cavalry thinks that fat is the most delicious, followed by those fat intestines and offal with net oil.

  The cavalrymen in the back line will reluctantly fish out Saiya's lean meat from the soup pot.

Suldak threw the fattest piece of fat that belonged to him into the soup pot, picked out some ribs from the soup pot, and then walked to Gulitum with a large wooden bowl, and looked at him Roast those two skinned ghost leopards.

  Seeing Aung San swallowing a bowl of broth-soaked biscuits, he beckoned him to sit here.

   Going further north, you will enter the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft.

  The forest of pine trees, oak trees, and oak trees in front of you looks deep and lonely, and there are even howling wolves in the distance.

  Invercargill Warcraft Forest is a general term for the forest in the northern part of the White Forest Plane. In fact, it is a collective name for the northern belt forest that stretches for 400 kilometers from Prantos Town in the east to Nantu Town in the west.

  The territory opened up by the Green Empire on the Bailin plane is basically a large piece of land radiating from Wilkes City.

  Duodan Town is a border town in the northern part of the occupied area, and it is also the northern gateway of the occupied area.

  Suldak set his sights on a mountain in the north, looking at the Invercargill Warcraft Forest in front of him, Aung San, the collector, had the most say on how to go next.

  Suldak still doesn't understand what the beast tide is like.

  He came out of the Dodan Valley and saw these beasts in the foothills, which did not pose any threat to the north wall of the town of Dodan.

   "Aung San, are there only these beasts in this hilly area?" Suldak put down the wooden bowl in his hand and asked Aung San beside him.

Aung San pondered for a while before saying: "In addition to the wild boars, the colorful brocade doves, snow pheasants, gray rex rabbits, hedgehogs and elks are the most frequently seen here, and occasionally there are some black bears, wolves, bobcats and other carnivorous animals. Animals come in, and the indigenous tribes here are basically hunting for a living."

   "Usually there won't be so many wild beasts here, and wild beasts like ghost leopards and black bears won't easily run out of the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft unless they are hungry and faint."

   "They are very territorial. They know that the hilly areas are hunting grounds for indigenous tribes, and it is life-threatening to step here."

   "However, due to the approaching beast tide, the territorial division in the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft is completely messed up."

   “As more and more animals come out of the forest, the predators follow.”

"The mountain in front is the territory of the black-maned beast king. That guy is very lazy, has a good appetite, and eats everything. Usually, he basically doesn't run out of the territory. He will only take a group of his harem to dig kudzu roots in the forest. It eats cassava and white ring vines, and if other wild beasts come to its territory, it doesn't mind having a meal."

   "The pine boars in this hilly land have some of that guy's blood in their bodies."

"When we enter the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, we have to pass through the territory of the mane beast king. As long as we walk along the edge of the territory, there is a high probability that we will not meet that guy. He usually doesn't like to patrol his territory. .”

   "As gatherers, few dare to go to the valley to the east..."

   Aung San climbed up a pine tree, stood on the branch of the pine tree, pointed to a lush mountain depression in the east, and said.

"There lived a large group of moonblade fire wolves, the leader of which was a four-eyed moonblade fire wolf king. It is said that this group of moonblade fire wolves defeated the iron-backed man bear who had occupied this mountain for a long time, and became the leader of this group. The new king of Pianshan Mountain, Moonblade Fire Wolf likes to live in groups. This wolf king has a large group of Moonblade Firewolves. Their territory is very large. From the place that spreads wide from that mountain depression, the mountains behind are also full of belong to them."

Suldak asked Aung San curiously: "Are these maned beasts and moonblade fire wolves the only ones in this monster forest? Even if they appear in groups in the Dodan Canyon, the number is ten times more, probably You can’t climb over the north city wall! These monsters are at most giving us some supplies.”

Aung San laughed and said: "You are talking about these monsters in the edge area of ​​the Invercargill Monster Forest. There will be some maned beasts and moonblade fire wolves running into the Dodan Canyon in the early stage. I guess there will be no more in the future." gone."

   Aung San said with a serious face: "The so-called beast swarm is actually tens of thousands of red ants with iron armor and ghost pattern in the depths of the monster forest."

"These ant colonies originally thrived in the Dark Insect Valley deep in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, but every ten years, the ant queens there will give birth to countless ghost-striped red ants, and they crawl out of the ant nest almost at the same time , they will eat up everything in the forest, and then spread to other parts of the forest."

   "They will not go to the cold north, but will only migrate south. Almost all the animals in the forest are their food. Except for fleeing, these animals have almost no resistance in front of the army of red ants."

   "At this time, the so-called beast tide is only at the primary scale."

   "When some new queens fly out of the ant nest, these ghost-striped red ants will form an army of red ants and spread to all places in an organized way."

   "At this time, they will launch an organized attack on the Dodan Canyon. There are so many of them that they will almost fill the entire Dodan Canyon."

   Aung San said solemnly.

  Suldak took a breath. He didn't expect that the real beast swarm was the new queen expansion site of the ghost-striped red ants, and they chose to invade forward, so they would naturally enter the hinterland of the occupied area from the Dodan Canyon.

  Suldak asked Aung San again: "Could it not be there?"

Aung San shook his head and said: "Ordinary ghost pattern red worker ants do not have a magic core in their bodies, and the hard carapace on their bodies is useless, so they are of no value in themselves, and because they are good at spewing highly corrosive acid, they are harmful to hired workers. The weapons and armor of the soldiers are extremely damaged, and the price paid for hunting them is often not worth the loss, so not many adventure groups and mercenary groups are willing to come here to block the ghost-striped red ants, unless it is a reward issued by Wilkes City. Golden mission."

   "Only the ghost-patterned red soldier ants belong to the category of second-level monsters. It is not easy to hunt them. Besides the magic core, their hard carapace is still useless and is a completely worthless material for monsters."

   Aung San wiped his mouth, eyes full of memories, and said:

"Every time there is a wave of beasts, there will be some ghost pattern soldier ants infiltrating into the occupied area, and Wilkes City will issue a reward task, asking the mercenaries in the city to hunt around the occupied area for the red ants that invaded the territory. The last wave of beasts , I accepted the employment of an adventure group and got three gold coins..."

Aung San talked a lot about the beast swarm. According to him, only the second-level ghost-striped soldier ants are of some value. It’s just that the soldier ants in a group of ghost-striped red ants are the main force in the battle. They want to kill a ghost-striped soldier ant. Soldier ants are not an easy task.

  Ghost-patterned red ants will also enslave some low-level Zerg monsters, and cooperate with ghost-pattern worker ants. This is the so-called beast tide.

Once the beast hordes formed by the ghost-striped red ants are eliminated, the Invercargill World of Warcraft Forest will be in a vacuum for a period of time, which is the best time for the imperial army to expand its territory north. At this time, enter the Invercargill World of Warcraft Forest is very easy.

   But wanting to build a fortification in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to resist the Warcraft in the northern part of the forest has always been the biggest problem for the Benar Legion.

   And if the ghost-striped red ants are not completely eliminated, they will never be able to truly occupy the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft.

  …

  Suldak's cavalry team rested outside the Invercargill Warcraft Forest before entering the forest under the leadership of Aung San.

   This mountain range belongs to the territory of the Mane Beast King, but when the cavalry set foot in this forest, they found that the entire forest area had become a mess, and many small animals in the territory were migrating to the hills and mountains.

  Some carnivorous beasts have become extremely irritable. They don't even kill for food, but purely for killing. There are carcasses bitten to death everywhere, and this place has become a paradise for scavengers.

   Aung San rode at the front, his horse's hooves trampled a white mandible into the soil, and he looked around vigilantly...

   Right in front of him, there is a big bobcat lurking on the crown of a big tree. Its body is bent and ready to pounce, and its location is exposed by two different-colored pupils, one red and one blue.

  Samila held the painting of withering in his hand, ready to shoot the big lynx with an arrow at any time.

   Probably sensed the murderous aura emanating from Samira. Although the big lynx was a little irritable and bloodthirsty, it quickly jumped from that big tree to another tree by relying on its animal instinct to perceive danger.

  The big lynx was light and agile, and soon disappeared from the canopy.

Aung San looked back at Samira and Gulitham. Although he didn't know the true strength of the two, the beasts in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest could make him know them again, and he could kill the big lynx at a glance. It was the first time Aung San saw the archer who scared away.

   Aung San has been here many times. In order to dig through the magic herbs in the forest ahead, every time he sneaks in here, he has to fight wits and courage with the group of maned beasts.

   But only this time, he was riding across the territory on horseback.

  Although they only slipped past the edge of the maned beast's territory, it was impossible for such a large group of people not to make some noise.

  He saw that the ogre seemed to be looking forward to meeting the maned herd, and some cold sweat inevitably broke out on his forehead.

   The ogre Gullitum walked in the team carrying a bone-crushing club, and looked up to the top of the mountain with some reluctance, his eyes full of bell-sized eyes full of longing.

According to Aung San, the mane beast king and its harem are in that dense forest, and there will always be some kudzu roots growing in that dense forest. One of the favorite foods, it is also the main material for making primary healing potions.

   "Head, should we hunt down that maned beast king?" The ogre asked Suldak, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

  Suldak shook his head and said:

   "Not now, we are going to the depths of the Invercargill Warcraft forest to investigate, try not to cause conflicts, on the way back, if you can seize the opportunity, I will not stop you..."

   The ogre was a little disappointed, and whispered to Suldak:

   "Eating its meat can definitely enhance your physique."

  Suldak also knew that ogres improved their strength basically by eating the flesh and blood of some powerful monsters.

  He hesitated for a moment before asking:

   "Aung San, what level of monster does that maned beast king belong to?"

  Aung San didn’t even think about it, so he said with certainty:

"It's about level three, and its strength should not be underestimated. I've heard that there are no less than fifteen adventure groups destroyed by it. They always think that the mane beast will not break through the bottleneck of level two, but The maned beast in this mountain has definitely reached the third level."

   "Let's go in first..." Suldak said decisively, no longer thinking about hunting.

If it is a single third-level monster, this team still has a great chance of hunting, but it is facing a group, even if all the cavalry from the cavalry battalion are brought over, it cannot be easily killed. The mane beast king, maybe it will let it escape into the depths of the forest.

   It is not a good thing to have enemies with third-level monsters, they will be full of hatred for the imperial people.

  Surdak's cavalry battalion will not be affected.

  In the future, the collectors will grow a pair of ears and a pair of eyes in this forest. Unless they are hunted, their revenge will never stop.

  Under the leadership of Aung San, Suldak and his party quickly passed through the territory of the black-maned beast king, and they could not avoid the territory of the moonblade fire wolf king anyhow.

Aung San originally wanted to take a detour, but at the edge of the territory, he happened to see a three-meter-long glazed beast throwing a moonblade fire wolf to the ground, biting its throat instantly, and there were five or six moonblade fire wolves beside it It seems that the corpses should all be bitten to death by glazed beasts.

  The glazed beast let out a low growl when it saw Suldak's cavalry team, and its whole body turned into a white shell, and rushed towards Aung San who was walking at the front of the team.

   "Ding, Ding!"

  There were two soft beeps, and the two fine steel arrows fell to the ground in no particular order.

  The glazed beast wailed in pain, but it didn't suffer any injuries. It was just that after being hit by an arrow, its body was refracted in the air, jumped onto a big tree, and slipped away as quickly as a shadow.
