Chapter 173 Killing the Earth Bear
This news was also sent back to Xuefeng Territory. After receiving it, Mrs. Doreen who lived in the castle was as excited as if she had received a love letter from her crush.
She dressed up carefully. The clothes on the outside were thicker and more conservative, but the clothes on the inside were extraordinarily exciting. It was a full set of lace underwear, with the angel kiss that Raven gave her, and she was dancing in the corridor. As it passes by, it brings out bursts of fragrant wind.
Knocking on the door of Lei Wen's library, Doreen said Nunuo as soon as she entered: "Baron Raven, thank you so much for taking back this port so that our Simpson family can continue."
"I don't know, how can I thank you?"
Raven smiled slightly: "This sentence is too much. Baron Romney and I are comrades fighting side by side, how can we not be grateful?"
"Don't you help me without my late husband?" Am I?" As she said that, Doreen walked around the desk and walked to Raven.
If seducing Raven before was just for profit, now Doreen really wants a young and capable lover like Raven.
She leaned down slightly, put her hands on Raven's shoulders, raised her knees, and placed them on Raven's legs.
Leiwen felt the fragrant aroma penetrate into his nostrils, and his hands gently lifted the hem of the black skirt...
Lady Doreen's face turned crimson.
At this moment, a rapid horn sounded from the window, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Kuman, the administrative officer of Xuefeng County, rushed in: "Lord Baron, it's not good..."
He was stuck mid-sentence because he saw half of Mrs. Doreen’s white thigh exposed and Raven’s hand on it.
I immediately lowered my head, not daring to say more.
On the contrary, the two parties acted as if nothing had happened. Doreen put down her skirt and left the study. Raven coughed: "If you have anything to do, tell me."
Kuman whispered: "The Bear of the Earth attacked Green Forest Town in the west!"
From the bottom of his heart, Kuman was not convinced of Raven. He was used to Viscount John's governance style, and Raven's The approach seemed radical and overbearing.
This approach has its benefits. In just ten days, Raven successfully established his authority in Xuefeng Territory through a small and expensive banquet, and created a "just" and A "powerful" character.
But because of this, the few elite forces at Raven's disposal became even more empty.
Now that Eric has not come back, and the Earth Bear is a powerful second-level monster, now Raven can only stare.
He continued: "This Earth Bear attack caused a total of sixteen houses to collapse, eleven people died, and twenty-six people were injured. At least thirty people are still buried under the rubble and their lives are unknown."
"I suggest that you follow the way John Viscount handled it before, first send some soldiers to clean up the ruins and treat the wounded, and then..."
Leaven nodded. Said: "You have a good idea, Volav!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Volav pushed the door open and walked in: "Lord Baron!"
"You immediately lead your soldiers to the disaster site , treat the wounded, and maintain law and order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation." Raven said as he walked out: "Bear of the Earth, let me handle it!"
Cuman was stunned when he heard this. Baron Raven actually wanted to personally go out and deal with the Earth Bear?
"But, Lord Baron..." Cuman wanted to persuade him, but saw Raven quickly walking out of the door.
With a snap, Volaf slapped him hard on the shoulder: "The order of the Baron cannot be doubted. I will call for someone right away. You come with me and be responsible for leading the way."
Kuman still couldn't turn his mind around, and followed Volav blankly.
You must know that the Earth Bear is not an ordinary second-level monster. It is known as the "darling of the earth". As long as it has four feet on the ground, its burst of power is even stronger than many third-order monsters. Ordinary second-level extraordinary beings are no match for them.
This bear of the earth suddenly appeared almost nine years ago. Every year in July and August, it would rush into the town like crazy, destroying buildings, killing people, and devouring its residents. It would only leave after eating and drinking.
At first, Viscount John thought of ways to capture and drive away this monster, but it was too cunning, and its unique "earth perception" was able to detect a radius of several kilometers.
Sending people to guard in advance, if there are only one or two levels, then it is no match for it; if Viscount John personally sits on the guard, then it will not come at all, or choose to attack weak points, which will not have any effect. , but made Viscount John disgraced.
Viscount John once contacted the mercenary guild, hoping to hire experts in this field, but the price for those with higher ranks was too high and the gain was not worth the loss, and those with too low ranks were incompetent, so it was nothing.
In the long run, Viscount John had no choice but to respond passively.
Shrink the population and industry inward to minimize the damage caused by the bears of the earth. As for the serfs who are eaten - at most a hundred every year, at least dozens, Viscount John can afford to pay for it.
Even if he valued his sense of honor, Viscount John was still a nobleman. In the eyes of most nobles, including him, serfs were just numbers, two-legged animals, and movable property.
Kuman heard Viscount John lament that he wanted to deal with this bear of the earth unless he could fly!
Although Baron Raven is a second-level magician, if he wants to do this, he is a little overconfident...
At this moment, a shadow passes in front of Kuman. Looking up, I saw a hippogryph soaring into the sky amid its chirping, galloping towards the southwest of Xuefeng's leadership!
"Don't be stunned." Volaf slapped Kuman's shoulder: "Hurry up and lead the way. It would be such a shame if we haven't arrived at the scene while the Baron has dealt with the beast!"
< br>Lei Wen, who was sitting on Xiao Bai's back, breathed in the air currents high in the sky and flew all the way to the west.
Xiao Bai flew very fast, and in just ten minutes, he saw the ruins outside Green Forest Town. The entire street was completely destroyed, with rubble and bricks everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere. It's like it's been blasted.
Hovering in mid-air for a while, Lei Wen came up with a plan and made Xiaobai fly away from Green Forest Town and land outside the town.
In the water of the magic pool, the dead white mark trembled, magic power was poured into it, and after a burst of smoke rose, the figures of two undead guards emerged.
It was Brother Kun who held the axe, and Xiao Heizi who held the bow.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Raven felt that the bones of these two people were a little more crystal clear than when they were just summoned.
As mentioned before, undead creatures observe the world differently from living creatures. They can see traces of the flow of life energy, and the Earth Bear is undoubtedly the creature with the richest life energy nearby.
After Raven gave the order briefly, the two undead guards started to move and started running wildly in one direction.
Different from the clumsiness of ordinary cannon fodder skeletons, the second-level skeleton guards are extremely light in weight. Now they move very fast, no less than any war horse.
Raven, on the other hand, rode Xiaobai and soared into the sky again, slowly following the two skeleton guards.
The Earth Bear is running.
As an adult bear of the earth, its body is extremely strong. Even if it is on all fours, its nose is three meters from the ground, and its body is more than five meters long. It is covered with brown fur. A bear palm is as thick as straw. If you lie on the ground, from a distance, it looks like an eternal boulder.
It has thick limbs, each leg is like a pillar, its thick claws are pitch black and very sharp, and there is a little blood stained between the hairs.
At this moment, the bear of the earth suddenly stopped. It panted heavily, shook its hair, and its eyes showed a very human look of impatience and contempt.
Not long ago, it discovered that two second-level creatures were chasing behind it, as if they were tireless and never slowed down.
Second level!
So what?
A sneer appeared at the corner of the Earth Bear's mouth. It had seen too many second-level human warriors who coveted its fur and magic core, but without exception, these people had become its food.
It stopped at leisure, ready to teach the two guys following it a little "lesson."
Finally, the two second-level extraordinarys appeared in the eyes of the Earth Bear, leaving it stunned on the spot.
The ones who came to chase it turned out to be two...skeletons! ?
The one in the front holds a giant ax in his hand, and the one in the back holds a giant bone bow. The green soul fire in his eyes is jumping endlessly. The eyes looking at the Earth Bear are full of greed and desire for living creatures. of hatred!
"Ouch——" The Earth Bear let out a low roar. It arched its body and launched a charge, its heavy steps falling on the ground like war drums.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the bone guard behind took off a bone arrow as thick as a short spear, put it on the huge bone bow, and pulled it into a full moon. The gray-white necromantic aura was poured into it, and a gray line of fire was drawn in the air. It shot out with a whooshing sound.
The Earth Bear narrowed its eyes slightly, exerted force on all four legs, and stretched its hill-like body across several meters. It was about to dodge the bone arrow.
However, at this moment, the soul fire in the eyes of the white bones holding the bow trembled, and the bone arrow in mid-air suddenly turned and stabbed into the giant bear's eye socket!
Blood bursts out.
"Ouch——" The severe pain made the Earth Bear hiss and howl. It did not understand why the undead creatures could actually use martial arts.
The panic that half of his field of vision was black made him stand up, slamming his claws on the ground, and then the ground beneath the two white bones changed, and two rock pillars as thick as two people hugging each other rose up from the ground!
Talent magic, giant rock thrust.
The Bones holding the bow seemed to have extremely profound experience. After letting go of the arrow, he immediately started to move without staying in place at all, and the rock thorn missed.
The axe-wielding Bones had already been on guard, and when he was about to hold the ax upright in front of him, he heard a thud, the tip of the rock thorn shattered, and the flying stones scratched its body, even the sole of its right foot. Half of the bones were smashed.
If it were a living person, even if the ability to fight is not lost, the severe pain of broken bones will make the person's movements deformed. However, the axe-wielding bones are undead creatures, and as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, it is not considered injured!
The axe-wielding bones opened their mouths and let out a silent roar. Then they exerted force on their legs and jumped high under the influence of the undead fighting spirit. They swung the giant ax and chopped off the earth bear's head!
The fighting spirit of the dead wrapped around the axe, and it plummeted like a meteor. It was no longer clear whether it was the bones wielding the axe, or the ax pulling the bones!
The wind pressure blew away the Earth Bear's hair, and a vicious look erupted from its remaining single eye. With a low roar, the ground beneath its feet seemed to begin to melt. The melted earth flows upward, covering its entire body with a layer of solid rock armor, vaguely revealing a diamond-like luster!
Innate magic, body protection diamond.
Bang——
The giant ax hit the armor on the head of the Earth Bear, and the blade was curled immediately. As the steel flew away, the rock armor also cracked, and the gray-white necromantic aura penetrated in, destroying the original The brown hair was dyed iron gray!
Although this blow broke the Earth Bear's armor, it was not fatal.
The Earth Bear immediately pounced and pressed the axe-wielding bones in mid-air to the ground. Under the heavy pressure of his claws, the originally soft soil became harder than steel. The strong black bones on Brother Kun's body The armor was crushed like a can, and the ribs inside were broken.
The bear of the earth raised its head and bit hard at the head of the axe-wielding bone, intending to completely destroy and erase existence.
At the critical moment, Bai Gu, who had been waiting for an opportunity, loosened the string of the bow. The bone arrows swam in mid-air like a spiritual snake, and suddenly pierced the tip of the Earth Bear's nose. This was the only place not covered by armor. Then it got into the mouth from the roof of its mouth!
"Ouch——"
Blood was splashed, and the Earth Bear let out a shrill wail. The softest part was severely injured and it lost its mind. One front paw pressed down on the ax skeleton, and the other One claw was raised, trying to pull out the bone arrow!
This should have been a foolproof move, but the axe-wielding Bones showed the ruthlessness of the undead creature. He put his hands on the ground and exerted force suddenly. With a click, the entire sternum was torn off, leaving only a head. , a pair of clavicle, and two arms connected by the clavicle.
Without the drag of his body, the speed of the axe-wielding Bones became even faster. Before the Earth Bear could react, it had already grabbed the bone arrow on its nose and climbed up to its head, and its fingers were wrapped with gray-white undead. The fire pierced the Earth Bear's remaining right eye!
At this moment, the Earth Bear's body was trembling violently, and he groaned like a defeated dog. The darkness in front of him made him overwhelmed. He could only shake his body wildly, shake the bones of the ax to the ground, and then turned around. Run away!
A sound broke through the air, and Baigu, holding the bow, had already shot the third arrow of this battle.
The Earth Bear accelerated and ran, with the blessing of the earth, and ran desperately. In just a few seconds, it had already run more than fifty meters!
In mid-air, Raven clearly saw the bone arrows shot by the bow-wielding skeleton, and the tail suddenly exploded halfway through the flight, and the speed suddenly increased, as if it had eyes. He turned around like a corner, walked around in front of the Earth Bear, slammed into the tail of the bone arrow in his right eye, and nailed the arrow body into its brain!
The Earth Bear's body twitched suddenly, and then crashed to the ground, using its inertia to plow a deep trench eight or nine meters long on the ground.
Its limbs kept flapping on the ground, like a fish out of water, splashing up large amounts of dust and digging four deep pits. However, life was still irreversibly lost.
The top powerhouse among the majestic second-level monsters, the darling of the earth, died in the hands of two second-level undead creatures.
A shadow shrouded the scene. Raven rode Xiao Bai down from mid-air. After a while, Xiao Heizi came over holding Brother Kun's body.
Looking at the huge body of the Earth Bear, Raven showed a satisfied smile and looked at the two bones: "Well done."
To deal with this Earth Bear, the main thing is It was still to test the actual combat capabilities of these two bone guards.
Now it seems that it far exceeds Raven's expectations. Its choice of fighter planes and the sophistication of its fighters are not inferior to any second-level knights of the human race.
Raven did not give any specific instructions during the battle. This was not like the undead creatures that Raven had encountered who fought solely on instinct.
He touched his chin and moved his eyes on the faces of Brother Kun and Xiao Heizi: "You two, really don't have your own consciousness?"
They were still standing there, just like It's like you don't understand anything.
Leaven shrugged and gave an order. Xiao Heizi picked up the tomahawk that Brother Kun had thrown on the ground, slashed it hard, and cut off the earth bear's hind legs that were thicker than an adult human. Cut off a strip.
Throwing Brother Kun and the leg together, Lei Wen recited the incantation, and a cloud of gray mist suddenly rose up, covering the bones and thigh.
Ten minutes later, the gray fog dissipated, and the bear's legs turned into a piece of rotten mud, while Brother Kun's bones had been completely completed, and were even taller than before.
First-level necromancy magic, body shaping.
This is an essential magic to create undead creatures, which can transform the bones of other creatures into the desired shape.
As for the missing armor, Raven planned to find another set for Brother Kun after he went back.
Looking at the huge bear carcass, Raven was a little confused for a moment. His little boy couldn't pull this huge beast weighing several tons, but it would be a waste to leave it here.
That is a second-order monster! Just peeling off the leather and making it into leather armor can be sold for more than a thousand gold coins.
After thinking for a while, Raven's eyes fell on the tree next to him, and he smiled.
Two hours later.
Cuman stood outside Green Forest Town, pacing back and forth uneasily, feeling confused.
Raven has been gone for too long!
It doesn't matter if the crusade against the Earth Bear fails, it just means losing some face. What I'm afraid of is that Lei Wen will show off and die in vain at the hands of the Earth Bear.
If that happens, God knows what those soldiers who finally Raven will do!
At this moment, he heard a strange sound, not sharp, but low and harsh, like a cloth bag dragging on the gravelly ground.
Looking up, Kuman almost sat on the ground in fright!
The Earth Bear is coming!
After calming down, he saw clearly that the Earth Bear was not coming, but was wrapped in a net made of leaves and vines, and was dragged over by the Hippogryph!
The earth bear's snout and mouth were wide open, and its eyes turned into two bloody holes. The blood flowing out solidified on the fur, and there were faint flies and mosquitoes flying around.
The Bear of the Earth is dead!
With a whoosh, Xiaobai fell to the ground, and Raven turned over and jumped down. There was no scratch or dust on his body, as if he just went for a walk.
Kuman was stunned: "Lord Baron...you...you are really..."
He couldn't find the words to describe Raven.
This monster that has troubled Xuefeng County for nearly ten years died in the hands of Raven, who was only in his early twenties!
This is a feat that even Viscount John was unable to accomplish!
At this time, the townspeople of Green Forest Town who heard the noise rushed over. When they saw the body of the Earth Bear, they all shouted out and called for their relatives, friends, and neighbors to witness it. This scene.
Some people laughed, but their laughter turned into howling; some people were expressionless, but tears kept falling down the corners of their eyes; some people rushed up directly, punched and kicked the Earth Bear, and shouted for it to be handed back. One's own relatives.
“Thank you, Baron Raven!”
I don’t know who said this first, and then such voices kept coming, and the citizens of Green Forest Town rushed to their knees. Come down and express your gratitude and gratitude to Raven.
If Volaf and other soldiers had not stopped him, many people from these territories would have come to kiss Raven's boots.
Kuman was also stunned by this scene. He has been in charge of Xuefeng Town for many years and has organized many activities to flatter Viscount John, but this is the first time he has seen the citizens of the country being so sincere. Inwardly grateful to a lord.
They may be ignorant, they may not know what kind of governance philosophy Lei Wen has, but one thing they know is that it was Lei Wen who rescued them from dire straits.
"Cuman." Raven did not directly respond to the gratitude of the people, but called Cuman: "You stay here and lead people to deal with the Earth Bear. I have taken out the magic core. , you only need to peel off its skin, and as for the meat, leave it to the people here."
This decision caused another round of cheers. The serfs may not be able to eat any meat for a year, and even more so. What's more, it's Warcraft meat?
Especially, this monster once killed their relatives!
Cuman immediately ordered people to dismember the body of the Earth Bear, and the local people also started to light a fire and set up a pot.
Cuman finally found an angle to praise Raven: "In the past, Viscount John wiped out the goblins, and in the later, you killed the Earth Bear. We in the Xuefeng Territory are really lucky to be able to catch up with such an outstanding lord!"
“Goblin?” Raven was startled: “When did it happen?”
Kuman thought for a moment: "About ten years ago, Viscount John led the army to destroy a Goblin tribe and captured their leader. He should still be locked up in the dungeon of Xuefeng Castle. Don't you know? "
"Oh, I remembered." Raven nodded slowly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
There has been an exchange of letters between Raven and Viscount John. In a correspondence after Angel's funeral, Viscount John mentioned that he had imprisoned a strange creature in the dungeon, saying It's a small gift for Raven.
At that time, Raven thought she was some kind of woman with an alien flavor, such as a drow or an orc.
But there were too many things going on, so Raven forgot about it.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the Goblin tribe and the Earth Bear have formed a certain balance. Therefore, after the destruction of the Goblin tribe, the Earth Bear began to cause trouble.
Instructing Volaf to withdraw with his troops, Raven mounted Xiaobai and rushed back to Xuefeng Castle.
I don’t know what this goblin looks like, but he is actually called a "gift" by Viscount John.
Raven was filled with curiosity.
