Chapter 58 Gnoll Camp

Chapter 58 Gnoll Camp
After Balka was settled, Wayne and Walker were about to climb down the mountain wall together. At this moment, Balka came up to them with some timidity and said, "That Wayne, can you also collect some loot for me?" share?"

"Huh?" Wayne realized why Walker and Balka seemed so excited when he heard Balka's words.For Wayne, he and Walker were just searching for something that they could use, and there was nothing to be surprised about.But for Walker, Balka, and even Kalia, who grew up listening to adventure stories, collecting loot seemed to symbolize their own adventure and victory in battle.Items that have some special meaning to them.Thinking of this, Wayne thought for a while, and felt that perhaps he should also collect some loot.

So he replied to Barka: "Don't worry, the loot we collected will be distributed after we come back. You and Kaliya's share is indispensable."

Hearing what Wayne said, Kalia's eyes brightened up. After all, she had heard the adventure story for more than 20 years, and she also had the idea of ​​collecting spoils, but she didn't say it.Balka is no longer coy, he turned to Wayne eagerly: "That's really great, you go quickly, don't worry about here, I will guard everything. Including Carly Ya inside."

"Wait for the good news from me and Walker." Wayne turned around after speaking and let out a long breath.He didn't expect to make a mistake here, but it's not too late to realize it now, as long as he pays attention in the future.

Climbing down the mountain wall, Wayne and Walker, who had been waiting there for a long time, held shield weapons and set off towards the camp of the gnolls in the swamp.Although the distance was not too far, the two of them cheered up and proceeded carefully.Wayne used divine magic to detect the surrounding life forms. This magic was originally used to check the physical condition of those who needed healing, but here it was used by Wayne to detect hidden creatures.This ensures they won't be attacked by swamp crocodiles or whatever.

In the swamp, the most dangerous thing is the sneak attack of the swamp crocodile.They are often disguised as dead wood or rocks, and when their prey passes by them, they will suddenly attack, bite the prey, tear it up and swallow it.

The bite force of the swamp crocodile is so powerful that even Wayne and Walker couldn't stop the swamp crocodile's bite even if they were wearing plate armor.Although being bitten once won't kill you, it will definitely hurt you.If it were Barka who was bitten, the swamp crocodile would probably be able to swallow him whole instead of tearing the prey into pieces.

Cautiously approaching the Gnoll camp, Wayne stopped Walker who wanted to go in. After all, this was a fatal matter, and the most important thing was to ensure his own life as much as possible.Wayne looked up at the gnolls who fell on the ground. According to the feedback from the divine spell, these gnolls were really dead.

Only then did Wayne feel relieved and said to Walker, "Okay, let's go in."

"Great, I can do what you said." After listening to Wayne's words, Walker put his shield behind his back, hung his battle ax on his waist, and rushed into the gnoll camp like the wind.

Following Walker, Wayne also entered the gnoll camp.When I came to poison the Gnoll camp last night, it was dark and I couldn't see the full picture of the Gnoll camp.When I observed the gnoll camp in the morning, it was relatively far away. I could only see that all the gnolls had fallen down and there were no traces of movement. The specific situation was also not seen.Now that we have come to the Gnoll camp to take a closer look, we can see the full picture of the Gnoll camp.

There was a bonfire in the center of the camp, and on the bonfire and on the ground beside it were the roasted human corpses, some of which had been bitten and completely blurred.There were no women in these corpses, and it seemed that they had been eaten.It is the custom of the gnolls to eat the female first.Because women are more delicious to them.

Farther away from the bonfire, there are broken straw huts, which form a circle to surround the bonfire in the center.The largest of them is the hut of the leader of the Wolf man tribe.Basically where all looted items are.Now Walker is rummaging there.

The vehicles used by the caravan for transportation had been wantonly destroyed at this time, and fragments were scattered everywhere in the camp of the Jackals. Judging from the unburned fragments in the bonfire, these wooden vehicles had been used by the Jackals to light bonfires. of firewood used.As for the goods, the edible items were put aside and the inedible items were thrown everywhere.But this is very consistent with the behavior of a jackal.For gnolls, only food that can be eaten is the most important thing.

There is just one thing that Wayne can't understand, that is, these dead gnolls are more or less wearing metal armor, and there are metal weapons and shields hanging on their waists and backs.Although it may be the equipment and weapons of the caravan guards who were attacked, the amount is too much.There are only about two hundred guards in total, how many weapons and equipment will they carry?How did this wolf man tribe manage to make every wolf man carry at least one weapon?
Before Wayne could figure out these doubts, Walker, who was searching for the leader of the gnolls in the distance, had already shouted to him: "Hey, Wayne boy, look at what this is."

Hearing Walker's shout, Wayne quickly walked over to Walker and said, "Let me see what good things you found."

"Look, this is the wolf tooth necklace that the wolf leader only has." After Wayne walked in, Walker immediately held up the necklace in his hand to show Wayne.To Walker, this was evidence that they had cleared out a tribe of gnolls.Although there are only more than 20 less than thirty, it is also a good achievement.After all, there were only four of them in total, and being able to clean up more than 20 gnolls was already quite remarkable.

"Oh?" Wayne took it over and took a look, and found that there were only 20 or less than 30 teeth on the necklace, which meant that there were only so many gnolls in this tribe.It's just that there are more than 30 wolf man teeth on the ground of the gnoll leader's hut, which means that more than [-] wolf men have died recently, so the wolf man leader removed the extra teeth from the necklace.

You know, the number of people in each wolf man tribe is the same as the necklace of the wolf man leader. Every wolf man who joins the wolf man tribe or a new born wolf man will pull out a tooth and give it to the leader, which proves that members of the tribe.If a large tribe splits into a small tribe, the leader of the wolf man will give the same number of teeth of the separated wolf man to the leader of the new tribe that split off.

This is a habit of the Gnoll race. They use this method to record the number of members of their tribe.If any Gnoll sees another race carrying a Gnoll Necklace, it will definitely arouse the Gnoll's anger, and they will fight to the death to kill the foreign creature carrying the Gnoll Necklace.
