An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

Noshier walked lightly and cautiously in the forest. In these dense natural forests, you may encounter any creatures, beasts, plants, monsters, humanoids and even dragons. All kinds of sudden dangers will not give you time to react.

You can only be alert and prepared in advance, and always pay attention to the movements around you, so as not to be taken as prey by some dangerous predators without knowing it.

Most of the forests in the continent of Faerun are uncivilized. Most of these forests are inhabited by settlements of some wild creatures, which may be goblins, dog-headed people or gnolls. Most of these humanoid creatures live on the outskirts of the forest or in the wilderness outside.

Their way of life is plundering rather than gathering, so once you encounter them, these greedy guys will definitely not miss the opportunity to rob you.

They will make good use of everything on you, your weapons, tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, flesh, bones, and these guys will use their crazy imagination to freely splice them together to achieve the purpose of deterring others and filling their stomachs.

You may also accidentally enter some secret settlements of wood elves or half-wood elves. If you really encounter them by accident, don't expect them to be very friendly. It's best to stay away before they issue a warning.

The deeper part of the forest is several times more dangerous than the outer part. Even I, who grew up in the wilderness, dare not enter easily. The only thing Noshier can be sure of is that in the depths of these large forests, there must be high-risk species with a challenge level of more than ten.

He once accidentally entered the depths of the Cloak Forest, where he directly encountered a group of tree people with a biological level of 14 and a challenge level of 9. There are about 20 tree people living in the depths of the forest.

The minimum level of each tree person is 14. It takes a whole team of fully armed level 9 adventurers to take one of them. Only after making sufficient preparations can there be a greater probability of successful challenge.

The challenge level of all the tree people in this community is definitely not less than level 20, which means that a whole team of reasonably configured level 20 legendary adventurers can be sure to defeat the powerful enemy.

However, the tree people were peaceful and didn't like fighting. At that time, he was just a young and ignorant child. Although he looked a little strange, in the eyes of the plants, humanoids all looked the same, so they didn't make things difficult for Noshier. They just warned Noshier not to enter the depths of the forest at will and let him go.

Noshier listened to the advice very well. From then on, he never dared to wander around in the forest at will by relying on his ability to fly, and this was not the only lesson.

About six years ago, he encountered a group of bird demons beside a desert about 30 miles west of here. Their supernatural and confusing singing almost lured him over.

If it weren't for his high innate perception attribute, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and exempted himself from the magical effect of the singing. He would have turned into a pile of bones long ago. Since then, Noshier has never approached there again.

Another time, he did not carefully choose a safe resting point, but rested directly in the gap between two huge rocks in the wilderness. The solid rock wall gave him a strong sense of security, but that night he was blocked by a petrified cow that ran from nowhere.

At that time, the petrified gas was only a few inches away from him. He quickly climbed up along the stone wall, and then spread his wings and flapped desperately to avoid the deadly gas.

These were all lessons he learned in exchange for blood.

Noshier remained vigilant all the way, his steps were light and agile, his wings slightly spread out, ready to fly at any time. After walking in this state for more than ten minutes, he suddenly heard a sound of rushing water.

Hearing this sound, Noshier knew that he was close to his destination, but from now on he had to be more careful, because there might be other creatures near the water.

Especially in the early morning, most herbivores would go to the water source to drink water at this time.

He did not want to disturb these creatures. If possible, it would be better not to make any noise to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

If it is not necessary, avoid it.

Not long after being abandoned, Noshier understood this truth.

Fighting will hurt, and hurt will bleed, bleeding will bring danger, and danger means death. For this reason, he never hunted animals for reasons other than hunting.

He held his breath, bent down and observed secretly for a while. This was a clear forest stream. Most of the surface around the stream was stones and pebbles. The shore was very empty, with only a few weeds.

The fairly dense forest where Noshier was now was about 40 feet (13 meters) away from the river. It was unknown how long the entire stream was, but the width was only about 12 feet to 13 feet (4 meters). Now there were only some small rodents chasing each other and playing around beside the river.

The water flow was relatively turbulent, and there seemed to be a herd of deer on the other side, but the mist in the forest had not yet dissipated, so it was a little unclear.

"There are boulders and pebbles everywhere. It's hard to gather any clues in this terrain. But there are many animals by the river, which means this is indeed the main water resource for the creatures in this area."

"Wait a little. If you're lucky, you should be able to find it soon."

Noshir folded his wings and passed them under his armpits, crossed them in front of his chest, and used the hook-shaped bone organs at the joints of his wings to grab the iron rings reserved on his shoulders and wrap his body up.

It looks like a strange cloak without covering the arms. In this form, the wings will not hinder one's movement at all.

The arms can be stretched freely, and it is more convenient to move on the ground. There is no need to worry about the wings being hooked by something, nor is there any need to worry that the wings will hinder one from swinging the weapon when fighting on the ground.

Nosier hung the giant axe upside down on the weapon buckle on his waist, observed a circle, chose the most lush and tallest tree, and slowly climbed up. His natural claws and past experience made him look relaxed when doing this kind of exercise.

Find a branch that is strong enough to land, hook it with the tail to prevent falling, and stretch out your fingers to feel the flow of air.

"There is almost no wind, so there should be no need to worry about the smell causing alarm. It is morning now and the temperature is low. The prey I am waiting for may come to this area later."

"The view here is very wide, and the river bank is very spacious and there is no obstruction. Next, just wait quietly."

After more than ten minutes.

The creatures on the river bank began to increase. Noshier saw deer, monkeys, baboons, badgers and hyenas. After a while, some jungle wolves appeared at the corner of the river beach about 500 feet away.

"Wolves are the most common in the forest, and the priority of totems is also the last, but since they have appeared, let's collect them first."

Noshier began to observe the movements of the jungle wolves. These ordinary beasts are still dangerous for ordinary people who have never received combat training, but they are not enough for him.

However, Noshier did not choose to attack at the riverside. The Green Garden, that is, the organization to which the druid camp where Noshier once lived belonged.

One of the unwritten rules is that if it is not necessary, it is best not to hunt and kill at the water source to disturb natural creatures so as not to destroy the natural balance.

Green Garden is an environmental protection organization dedicated to the harmonious coexistence of nature and civilization. Most of its members are rangers and druids. Their philosophy is to make all things in nature flourish and develop harmoniously.

Because of his previous experience, Noshier was also a member of this organization. The badge on his neck was actually a token of trust between the members of this organization.

So he chose to respect the tradition of the organization and wait until the wolves left before quietly following them.
