Chapter 208: The Jackals of the Flood Valley

Standing at the edge of the forest, the three looked down at the valley below.

This place is like a cliff rift. A mountain wall of more than ten meters suddenly appears at the edge of the forest, and below it is a large river valley. Several small rivers meander and converge in the valley full of pebbles, forming a river about six or seven meters wide.

Jerry said, "I heard Uncle Doug from the Dog-Eared Tribe say that you can often encounter some magical animals that sneak out of the Misty Mountains in the valley."

Xueli nodded: "Fantastic animals are valuable!"

Ted: ?
Along the way, whenever Xue Li had free time, she would pick herbs and so on. She never missed any opportunity to earn money.

"Isn't there anything unusual here?" Ted asked.

Xue Li shook her head. "Normally, the valley shouldn't be so quiet at this time of year. We've been watching here for quite a while, but we haven't seen any animals come to drink water?"

Ted asked Ansu to check it out; it was flying in the sky and had a wide field of vision.

Ansu: I knew it was me. Without me, this team will disband!

Sure enough, there was a discovery. A few minutes later, Ansu suddenly sent a message, and Ted quickly connected to the visual.

The scene before him stunned him!
They turned out to be a group of humanoid creatures about 1.67 meters tall, hunchbacked but very strong, covered with spotted fur and with jackal heads!

This is a gnoll!
Organized humanoid alien creatures like this are always the focus of special attention in the Ministry of Magic of each country. For example, murlocs and kobolds all have detailed investigation records.

Once a gathering point, nest, or the like appears somewhere, there will often be an official wizard team to clear it out.

Because these humanoid creatures are inherently evil, they are often very dangerous and will engage in organized killings, invasions, and the like.

Ted heard from Arthur Weasley that the British Ministry of Magic even organized a special "Eliminators" team, which was composed of the best strikers, to eliminate these very dangerous humanoid creatures from other worlds.

And what we see before us is the Werewolf race, which is even more dangerous according to the Ministry of Magic's information.

Eight years ago, a group of jackals suddenly appeared in Northern Ireland. Forty or fifty of them slaughtered a remote town overnight, killing more than a hundred people! They just started eating!

The Ministry of Magic has clear regulations that wizards can directly kill creatures like gnolls.

And now, they are ambushing a herd of deer!
This herd of deer seemed to have run out of the mountains. The leading male deer was snow-white with black spots, and had majestic antlers, which was very handsome.

When Ansu discovered it, the deer had already been ambushed. More than 20 deer were caught in a trap with water on one side and a mountain wall on the other. Then seven or eight sturdy jackals carrying large knives rushed over, howling excitedly.

The leading white stag was very powerful, its antlers emitting a faint green fluorescence, and it fended off four or five jackals like a powerful warrior, but the remaining two or three still rushed into the herd, striking down with their knives...

"Ansu, help!" Ted ordered, cutting off the visual connection.

"Follow me quickly, we have encountered the enemy!"

After all, Ted and Jerry are two wizards, and they have many ways to travel quickly - such as floating ~
So it took the three of them less than five minutes to reach the scene.

At this time, Ansu landed on a big rock by the river and was combing his feathers. Eight gnolls were lying on the ground. They were not dead, but their eyes were wide open, their pupils were dilated, and their bloody tongues were hanging to the side. They had all fallen into a deep coma.

These gnolls were "killed" by Anzu!
Don't underestimate it!
If it is counted now, it is at least a level 10 magical beast, and it is the kind that has extremely strong innate abilities.

It was easy to knock down a few unsuspecting gnolls using special mental illusions.

The big white stag stood in front of the severely damaged herd of deer and looked at the three people vigilantly.

Ted stepped aside and said, "We have no ill intentions. I can help you treat your wounds, and then you can continue your journey..."

Although Ted has not upgraded his psychic level in the past year, his psychic powers have made some progress.

He carefully honed his abilities and refined his soul, and now he is reaping the rewards.

Especially those supernatural powers that were available at the beginning, such as the ability to favor others.

Originally, Ted was able to make other creatures have a certain degree of favor towards him, and coupled with Ansu's life-saving grace, the big white deer finally accepted Ted's kindness.

Ted applied dittany essence to the dozen or so surviving deer in the herd to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation and promote healing.

The big white deer also called out a few times before leaving. An Su understood: "It said that something very scary appeared in the mountains, and the animals are running for their lives."

But after the deer left, Ted and his friends did not rush into the mountains to look for "that terrible thing."

Instead, they started discussing the jackals.

Ted placed his hand on the forehead of a jackal and began searching its memory.

To be honest, although these gnolls are also wearing simple leather armor, they can hardly be called "humans".

The smell on his body was even worse than that of a cleaner doghouse, fishy and smelly, and it made my head hurt.

The Jackal's IQ is not high and his thinking is simple, and the only memories he has contain what Ted wants.

"found it!"

While Ted washed his hands with clear spring water, he reaped the lives of the jackals with his sharp sword and traceless movements.

They are all wild monsters from level 5 to level 7, and the experience points range from to .

One wave gives you 3245 experience points!
There are three more cards: [Beastly (white)], [Rusty Machete (gray)], and [Tiger's Eye (green)].

Ted was moved!
Besides, there were definitely no gnolls in the Hongfeng Valley before. Where did these guys come from?
Jerry and the others won't be able to sleep or eat if they don't figure this out!

The straight-line distance from here to Decamund Village is only about 20 kilometers. Due to the rugged terrain, it takes a normal person about ten hours to get there.

But gnolls are different. Although they are called "humans", they still retain strong beast habits, such as eating humans, and sometimes even eating them raw.

With the jackals' speed, if they find Decamund Village, they can reach it in about four or five hours.

This is too damn dangerous!
"We have to find where these gnolls come from! They are even more dangerous than those panicked beasts!" Xue Li looked nervous.

She often went hunting with the hunting team in the village. Although she had never encountered a gnoll, she had killed water ghosts and dog-headed people, and even encountered fishmen. She was very wary of these evil humanoid creatures.

"Ding~ Triggering the task:

[Mysterious Jackal (Green)]

There had never been any jackals in the Hongfeng Valley in the past ten years, but now you have encountered them, and there are quite a few of them. If I don't find out the reason, I won't be able to close my eyes when I sleep.

Objective: Find out where these Jackals came from and how many there are.

Reward: 300 experience points, card [Gnoll Hogg (Green)].

Why did several jackals die tragically on the riverbank? Why did the mysterious white deer flee in panic? The subhuman village was unable to sleep or eat in the middle of the night. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? Please pay attention to "The Jackals in the Flood Valley." "

My goodness!

There is a huge amount of experience and tasks to complete, and it can also eliminate the potential threat of Decamund. It would be unjust if we don’t check it out!
Ted found their origin from the memories of the Jackals - a temporary Jackal tribe, not big but not small either.

Because the Jackals have low IQs and cannot count, no one knows exactly how many Jackals there are. However, Ted estimated based on the memories of several Jackals that there are more than sixty and less than a hundred.

This is estimated based on the amount of food eaten. If there is a crazy and dazzling werewolf like Ron, it will definitely be inaccurate.

Because of his low IQ, his memory is vague and he is not very clear about the exact location of the werewolf tribe, but he still knows the approximate direction.

So…the three of them looked at An Su.

Ansu took off cursing...

After about ten minutes, Ansu sent a signal that he had found it!
On a high mountain wall, a collection of shacks that looked newly built appeared in Ansu's sight.

Some of the gnolls, with severely bent backs, stood guard in a crooked manner.

I didn’t expect that the gnolls knew how to stand guard, that’s not easy!
