Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 55 Defense and Counterattack

The Desperate Dog is a medium-sized vicious monster, generally 6 feet (2 meters) long and 3.6 feet (1.2 meters) high at the shoulder. In the wild, the biological level of an adult Desperate Dog can reach level four.

The Desperate Dog looks like a giant black dog, but its blood-red eyes tell you at a glance that this creature is definitely not friendly, especially when it has two heads. .

Its strength is two levels higher than that of ordinary creatures, as are its agility and physique. In addition to having higher physical attributes than ordinary beasts, the mouth of the desperate vicious dog is also full of deadly germs. It is absolutely impossible to fight this monster. Don't be bitten, otherwise the wound will rot and stink in just a few days. If you don't get effective treatment, it will kill you directly, which is very threatening to ordinary people.

However, due to its ferocious character, this monster often appears alone, so it is not too much of a threat to prepared adventurers.

After hearing what Nohill said, Ska's body became less tense, because he was actually not unfamiliar with this kind of monster.

Scar: "I heard from the elders in the Knights about this kind of monster. They especially like to attack pedestrians on the trade road. This kind of monster was wiped out by the Hell Knights more than 30 years ago. In the hall of the Knights, There is also a specimen of this monster stored in it, I didn’t expect to encounter it here.”

And Nohir said to Ska a little embarrassedly.

"Ah, I'm a little too nervous. It's not difficult to deal with this kind of monster that appears alone."

Scar: "It's good to be cautious, and it's impossible to sleep peacefully when being targeted by this kind of monster."

"I'll take care of it, and we'll set out at first light."

Scar shook his head violently. In this way, he woke up his newly awakened body. He took out an oil lamp from the tent, lit it and pinned it on his waist. He raised his weapon and pointed towards the direction Nohir pointed out. Walk in the direction.

Nohill also picked up his weapon and followed. Although the monster was not too strong for them, Ska did not have dark vision after all, so he would be able to have someone by his side to take care of him if something unexpected happened again.

And Scar is right. If you encounter a monster attack while camping at night, you will basically not be able to sleep for the entire night.

At this moment, the two-headed vicious dog that had been wandering nearby saw the intended prey and walked towards the direction where it was hiding.

Its three-point intelligence was instantly swallowed up by the surging madness. It no longer took any cover and rushed directly out of the rocks. Its two ferocious heads grinned and spoke in a way that could almost be called Tsukuru rushed towards Ska with a scrambling attitude.

As for Scar, although his vision was limited by the darkest night with no light, stars or moon, his combat experience completely made up for this disadvantage.

The moment the chaotic and reckless footsteps rang in Scar's ears, he constructed the direction of the beast's attack in his mind. He immediately leaned over to set up a shield, with his right foot slightly arched, his left foot behind, and his right foot Holding the shield in his arms, he bent slightly and used his shoulders, right arm and right leg as fulcrums to set up a strong shield that could block the charge of the cavalry.

This way of setting up a shield is purely for head-on confrontation, and it completely blocks his own field of vision, but in this environment, Ska does not need a field of vision.

bump! At the moment when the monster was very close and swooped over, Ska's whole body suddenly exerted force. The fragile-looking wooden shield was like a charging wall at that moment. While the beast was still in the air and before it reached the perfect point of exerting force, the wooden shield had already directly knocked open its claws and head! Directly to the middle gate!
  Its two heads were thrown to both sides as if they had been directly knocked apart. The original crazy roar was silenced by the impact, and it was knocked away far away in a posture that looked very ridiculous. This powerful and heavy impact almost caused the entire wooden shield to fall apart, but Ska ignored the screams from the shield, directly picked up the mace with his left hand, and quickly ran towards the place where the hound landed, holy oath The power wrapped around this humble and crude weapon, as Ska jumped high, and then fell heavily!
  Holy Cut!
  The weapon drew a golden stream of light and struck the half-dead monster hard. The impact of this blow was exactly on its chest. The powerful power and the power of the oath wrapped around it made this blow more powerful. It became extremely terrifying. The monster's chest exploded, and its two terrifying heads were blown away.

Ska picked up the weapon and swung it to the side, shaking off the blood and flesh on the mace, and then said to Nohir.

"It's done, pack your things, let's change places. I don't know what kind of monsters the blood of this evil beast will attract. You can only rest for a few more hours if you stay away from here."

After saying this, Scar moved his wrist again. He was still not used to this weapon. In addition to its poor quality, its weight was also very insufficient, which somewhat limited his performance.

And the quality of this shield is really poor. Just one impact has already made its structure a little loose, if it is an iron shield.

Alas, Ska sighed secretly in his heart. His equipment had been lost in the process of escaping. Originally, as the squadron leader of the Hell Knights, Ska owned an ordinary enchanted shield and a treasure-level second weapon. This enchanted warhammer was the weapon he had used for more than ten years, but now.

Nohir, who was following along to see if he could help, was immediately surprised by this fast and concise fighting method.

"...With your fighting ability, how did you get caught by those devils in the first place?"

Nohir was really curious, so he asked Ska directly, and Ska didn't hide it.

"My vow of revenge was not firm at that time, so the magical ability brought by the vow was also very unstable. It can be said that I could not function normally at that time."

"And those devil's chariots are too targeted, and there are too many people nearby..."

Nohill nodded, indicating that there was no need to say anything more. He could already imagine how bad the situation Ska faced back then was. It was really not good for Ska to continue talking and remind him of the nightmare that day.

Ska did not choose to continue speaking. He just shook his head and then said to Nohir calmly.

"Don't worry, it's all over."

Turning around and returning to the camp, he packed up the tent sleeping bag and said to Nohir.

"And I won't let that happen again."
