Chapter 14 The Magical Manticore
Before dawn the next day.
At this time, predators who were hiding in the forest at night had returned to their nests to rest.
The leader of the dire wolf was running in the forest with his pack of wolves. The faint pale starlight shone through the gap between the leaves on the fast but silent black pack, like a ghost.
Soon, the young dragons followed the wolves into the territory of the scorpion lion.
A few dozen meters away from the scorpion lion cave, the dragon smelled a rotten smell after a keen sense of smell, just like the smell of rotten flesh crawling in the toilet.
The wolf pack stopped, and the leader of the dire wolf nodded to Amos, who was hiding on the treetops, and a shadow wrapped around its body and dived towards the cave.
Amos looked at the hazy figure in front of the cave. If it hadn't watched the leader of the dire wolf enter a stealth state with his own eyes, it would be difficult to find its trace.
In the dark night, the strength of the dire wolf, which controls the power of the shadow, has increased by at least 20% compared with the daytime, and the chance of successful sneak attacks has increased significantly. However, the strength of the scorpion lion and the dragon has not changed significantly. This is also the reason why the leader of the dire wolf chose to come at this time.
"Roar!" A roar of anger mixed with pain came from the cave, and the sneak attack was successful.
Two figures emerged from the entrance of the cave one by one, and behind it was a huge scorpion lion. Its tail was raised high and pierced forward. The leader of the dire wolf suddenly accelerated and his tail was stuck to the ground.
Taking advantage of this short opportunity, the leader of the dire wolf quickly escaped the attack range of the scorpion lion, and the wolves around him also stood up and slowly approached the scorpion lion in a semicircular circle. A creature like a wolf has never been known for fighting alone.
The slowly approaching wolf pack put a lot of pressure on the scorpion lion. Its scorpion-like tail dragged on the ground, sweeping uneasily, and a threatening growl in its throat, trying to scare away the opponent.
And how could the wolves give up easily? If the scorpion lion becomes a monster, the wolves have no other choice than moving.
The scorpion lion began to retreat slowly, and the slight demonization did not make it lose its mind. It was attacked by the leader of the dire wolf and injured its left claw, which greatly reduced its flexibility. It had to retreat back to the cave to avoid being surrounded by the wolf pack.
The leader of the dire wolf who finally led it out could make it succeed and block the way out of the cave.
The dire wolf on the left bullied the scorpion lion and was injured, and was the first to scratch the scorpion lion. As soon as the scorpion lion's head bit the left, the dire wolf retreated and avoided it as soon as it touched. The dire wolf on the right took the opportunity to attack, leaving blood-seeking scratches on the scorpion lion's body, but unexpectedly this was just a trap.
The scorpion tail swept across the body of a destiny wolf. The destiny wolf flew out instantly and fell to the ground and lost its combat power. The destiny wolf leader also seized the opportunity and scratched the scorpion lion's butt with one claw, and blood poured out from the wound.
The Scorpion Lion knew that it would be exhausted sooner or later if he continued like this, so he rushed towards the entrance of the cave with his body advantage. The horror wolves also took the opportunity to add a few more wounds to the Scorpion Lion, but this was worth it. When he arrived in the cave, as long as he guarded the entrance of the cave, it would be safe.
Seeing that the scorpion lion was about to escape into the cave, four dragon breaths fell from the sky. The scorpion lion reacted quickly. A donkey rolled around to avoid most of the dragon breath, but the long scorpion tail didn't have time to withdraw and was sprayed directly by the dragon breath.
At this time, four young dragons fell from the sky and pounced on the scorpion lion, pressing it down so hard that they could not move. Weili bit off the frozen scorpion tail in one bite, abolishing the greatest threat. At the same time, Amos inserted his claw into the scorpion lion's throat. The scorpion lion's body struggled violently, but he could not move.
The blood flowed less and less on the neck of the scorpion lion, and the force of struggle became weaker and weaker. In the end, it could only twitch slightly, and the eyes gradually lost their luster.
In the case of mental calculation but unintentionality, the party with the already dominant strength achieved an absolute victory.
The wolves retreated when the scorpion lion was pressed under the young dragon, and even their companions who were lying on the ground who were unaware of life and death were abandoned. The smart leader of the dire wolf was worried that the young dragons would turn against the wolf.
However, its concerns were obviously redundant, and the young dragons did not care about the departure of the wolf pack.
Amos looked at the corpse lying on the ground. The scorpion lions have a tail that is 5 meters long, and the body is like a lion, with clear muscle boundaries.
The tail broken aside was wrapped in the black carapace one by one. The dark red sharp tail needle shone with a cold light, and there were faint dark red patterns on the body, which were traces of demonization.
The demonized creatures are inedible, but they can be used as magical materials. Unfortunately, there is not enough space in the Amos dimensional bag. It no longer cares about it after it puts the most valuable scorpion lion tail into the dimensional bag.
The young dragons walked into the cave of the scorpion lion, and it was time to harvest.
It is obvious that the scorpion lion has poor hygiene habits. The bones in the cave are scattered all over the ground, and some of them are connected with rotten meat, emitting a foul smell.
Amos spreads his mental power throughout the cave.
"scanning!"
...
Amos looked at the cracked dimensional bag in the corner and frowned. Which damn scorpion lion destroyed the dimensional bag. Some of the things in the dimensional bag were scattered on the ground and some fell into the cracks in the space. Fortunately, the map was still there, and after putting away the valuable items, the young dragons were ready to leave.
Suddenly, a message popped up in its mind: "The energy fluctuation of the evil attribute was detected 5 meters behind."
"Wait, there is a situation."
Amos used the mage's hand to move a pile of bones away, revealing the hole below.
This is a deep cave with a diameter of only 0.2 meters. Through the cave, Amos could only see endless darkness, and a scent of sulfur emitted from the cave.
Amos initially judged that there was a space crack leading to the abyss below. It sealed the hole to prevent the abyss from leaking out. The evil dragon did not like monsters full of killing and destruction.
The young dragons left the scorpion lion cave, and the sky turned white.
Amos unfolds the map of new harvest.
"It's worth it."
He is worthy of being an advanced adventurer who can enter the depths of the Moto Forest. The map not only contains a detailed topographic map of the Moto Forest, but also marks the territory of powerful and extraordinary creatures.
Such a map is of great value. In this other world without satellites, making such a map means step by step measurement. Not to mention the cumbersome steps, even the numerous extraordinary creatures in the forest are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
The area of powerful and extraordinary creatures is the experience that countless people have gained with their lives.
...
Ten days later.
"Amos, where are we now?"
"We have already walked through the heart of Moto's Great Forest and have two days left to get out of the forest."
Amos recalled the powerful extraordinary creatures he encountered along the way, and was still a little scared. Fortunately, the young dragons were cautious and avoided them.
