From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 224 Traps and attacks against ‘distant ancestors’

All in all, the three monsters that appeared in front of them gave all the witch doctors a strong sense of familiarity, and they quickly recalled where this feeling came from.

Troll fetuses in the mid-embryonic stage seem to show signs similar to this? And the witch doctors' guess on the front end of their own species' evolutionary route seems to be like this?

"We...could it be that we captured three ancestors?"

"Don't talk nonsense. At most, they are just primitive species with divergent evolutionary paths. I don't have such ancestors."

This kind of discovery, which can also be regarded as a 'wonderful sight', gave the witch doctors a strong desire to communicate, but before they could say anything more, a clear sense of shock came from under their feet, and all the trolls were shocked.

His expression returned to seriousness again.

Dark red waves surged on the magma lake, and under the thick smoke, there were faint signs of an eruption.

Nearly ten seconds later, with an unpleasant neighing, an enlarged version of the lava monster more than 20 meters long broke out of the lake, showing its teeth and claws in the sight of the trolls.

It didn't give much time to think. While revealing its body, its tail swung like a pendulum in the magma behind it, driving its huge body and launching a high-speed impact towards the shore;

In just the blink of an eye, it rushed out of the magma lake. Driven by inertia, its body length of more than 20 meters moved extremely quickly against the ground, aiming directly at the three little monsters tied in the vine net.

One purpose seems to be to rescue them.

But the reaction of the witch doctors was also very fast. Before it could reach it, they controlled the vines to move the loot in their hands, making it leave the straight line of the monster's charge.

I wanted to do more, but after losing the target in front of me, the monster continued to move forward without losing speed, and finally stopped its momentum when it hit the outer volcanic wall.

.

Although the impact did not cause any damage to it, the actions before and after made the witch doctors feel a little confused.

Even if the previous incident of foolishly bumping into the mountain wall was ignored, Nimbus's subsequent reaction seemed to be somewhat peaceful, which was clearly far from the importance that the witch doctors took.

Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, and just when Nesta was about to issue the capture order, the monitoring technique that had been turned on was discovered again from several kilometers away from the bottom of the magma lake. Three objects suddenly appeared and began to rise at high speed.

biological signals;

"The intensity is not too high. It seems to be just a means to assist capture?"

This interrupted Nesta's previous plan and made him decide to delay the attack. He was prepared to wait for the three big guys below to come up before catching them all. Even if he was seriously injured and then captured, it would be better than being captured by them.

It's better to turn around and run away.

As a result, black spears were shot at the witch doctors who had always been in its perception, and the latter either dodged or were covered by bunkers, and also continued to prepare their own spells.

Perhaps, it thought that the enemy was preparing to evacuate with its compatriots, or for some other reason. In short, it acted quite angry;

Moreover, as the number of vines restraining it gradually decreased, the frequency of use of the previous attack methods was obviously much higher in a short period of time.

The black spears are generally nearly 3 meters long and fly extremely fast. They have already arrived in front of the witch doctors without even taking a single breath.

~~~~

"The vine group descends along the lake wall, preparing to block the escape route!"

But once you leave the specific environment brought about by the magma lake, only the initial impulse inherits the previous style.

In addition, this creature, which is suspected to be the original species of troll, seems to be completely unable. Or at least incapable of breathing efficiently in the atmospheric environment?

At this time, Nesta's eyes turned to her feet, looking at the three trophies that were half a size too small, and focused on their gills.

The same goes for the rest of the unblocked black spears. They were all sunk deeply into the mountain wall, and most of them were completely missing. Only dark holes were left, vaguely proving that this place had been attacked.

.

Even if they are in high-density magma, they are advancing through the waves as if they are charging, and their speed is unimaginable.

Based on the attack pattern shown by the previous monster, they built and reinforced a large number of chest-high solid bunkers in a short period of time, and arranged them randomly in front of the trolls on all sides and directly in front of the weird giant tree.

Directly in front of the car;

However, the walls facing the latter two have uniformly preserved holes as thick as forearms, which seem to be passages reserved for crossbow arrows and the like.

At this time, many vines were no longer entangled with the previous monster. They quickly changed directions and began to rescue the soldiers who had just fallen from the mountain pass and were still in mid-air.

The three trophies had strong vitality, and not too long had passed since they were caught, so even though they had difficulty breathing, they were still struggling as hard as they could.

At the same time, a counterattack from it also began to appear. The monster suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a large mouthful of molten slurry, which was spread into a ball towards the trolls, and more than ten sharp black spear-shaped bodies flew out from it and went straight through the vines.

A swarm of people shot towards the direction of the witch doctors.

Thousands of meters away under the magma lake, there are three behemoths with a body length of more than 40 meters, and they are swimming upward at an extremely fast speed;

Their powerful long tails are constantly swinging behind them, and their bodies are swaying from side to side in accordance with its rhythm. Their thick limbs sometimes cut upwards diagonally, and sometimes press their lower hems sideways to assist in speeding up their progress;

The dense scales all over its body, its solid muscles, and its unusually large size among land animals all reflect its monster attributes of equal emphasis on attack and protection.

While the fang was telling his feelings, the molten slurry that was ejected along with the black spear and looked like a covering material had solidified itself at an unusual speed, and successfully

The large group of wrapped vines were firmly fixed.

However, after the failure of the previous charge away from the lake, there was no easy rescue operation again.

‘This is a good thing, we can go down to the magma, but the monsters can’t come up’

This attack distance and action mode were something he didn't expect, and he had to give a warning loudly at this time.

"Dodge at the entrance of the cave! Protect your vital points!"

But what's the use of slapping the air left and right with your tail? Can you kill enemies with a sonic boom?

And his performance after that, although strictly speaking, could not be said to be slow, but compared to his agility in the magma lake, he really looked like a wagging idiot.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten black pointed pyramids as thick as a troll's arm were seen flashing away, breaking through the obstacles of layers of magma, flying towards an unknown direction at high speed, and were still several hundred meters away from the lake.

At this moment, the last one arrived first and caught up with the monster in front that kept moving upward.

As a result, the vines began to untie themselves and began to fly all over the sky again, winding towards the monster in the lake.

"It's too dangerous to be able to keep moving at high speeds in magma. Its muscles should be very strong, and have you seen the solidification speed of that molten magma?"

And above them, there are troll warriors standing in groups of five to five along the crater and ready for battle.

However, the troll's size of more than three meters showed some convenience at this time; they ducked sideways sharply and dodged most of the black spears.

After that, the monster opened its mouth again, and the heavy gas instantly exploded the magma in front of its mouth, creating a large hollow area;

And although it is infrequent, almost every once in a while, it has to dive into the lake, at least to have its gills completely immersed in the liquid magma.

The signal's upward speed is very fast, almost reaching 100 meters per second, which means that it does not take long for them to reach the lake surface.

At this time, the trolls in the mountain pass could really see what was flying out of the magma lake;

But before they could express their feelings or make adjustments for aftermath or rescue, new situations followed one after another.

After just two breaths, a huge creature that was far longer than the one on the lake suddenly jumped out of the lake where the black pointed cones had exploded, and headed straight towards the three little monsters in mid-air.

Bite away.

Nesta had almost no empathy for this extremely ugly species, so in order to increase his own 'hate value', he issued an order that would never be used against civilized races.

The battle was actually not very intense, and the trolls had not even begun to exert real force, so under Nesta's instructions, several witch doctors who were controlling the vines began to test the strength of the solidified splash.

.

Almost all trolls are keenly aware of the various flaws in its body. In other words, they are highly specialized due to extreme adaptation to a certain environment;

From this, Nesta signaled the witch doctors to move the loot around, hoping to see the reaction of the monster in the lake.

But there was only a 'bang' sound, and the black spear blasted the outstretched hand of the fang cleanly, then penetrated the broken flesh and blood that exploded in the sky, and continued to fly diagonally towards the volcano wall;

'boom!'

The contempt on his face disappeared. Jian Ya frowned and looked at his hand, which was half missing but had begun to regenerate, and concluded,

"The force is very strong, the speed is very fast, and there is also a high-frequency vibration that increases the damage, turning the original penetrating injury into a burst injury. Injury to the skin and muscles may not cause much trouble, but the internal organs

The organization will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it may even cause the whole thing to break if hit at one point, so everyone should be careful."

At this time, the covering vines wrapped around their tails and pulled them upside down towards the crater.

Fortunately, the trolls are not afraid of being burned. Otherwise, the warriors and witch doctors on the surrounding shores would not be able to catch up with them. If they were a different race, the whole army might be wiped out.

"Hang these three guys up!"

There are also some soldiers who have not prepared this traditional attack method;

‘Whoosh whoosh!!!’

~~~

The diameter of the magma lake is about seventy meters, which is not a small figure. If the witch doctors want to capture this agile guy in front of them, it will really take some effort.

Fortunately, the soldiers were well-trained, and the moment Nesta's reminder sounded, they subconsciously chose to obey;

He curled up and used the mountain wall and shield as a barrier. After this double protection, he further used his arms and thighs to block the vital points of his heart and brain.

Almost all witch doctors thought this way at this time.

In the next breath, the troll warriors who had not been affected by the collapse of the mountain and had been preparing to attack launched attacks from both directions.

Apparently, when in the lake, its movements are as fast as the wind and as violent as thunder;

They had been sitting in the combat readiness position of the ballista before, and now they were adjusting the direction of the heavy ballista according to Nesta's instructions, preparing to use these big guys who only had one launch chance in a short period of time, but whose efficiency should never be underestimated, to use them in the final

At the right time.

The attack from below arrived almost at the same time as their self-defense.

Two groups, a total of more than 30 black metal-colored sharp pyramids with a diameter of more than seven meters and a diameter of 30 centimeters, concentrated on blasting the crater wall in one direction, creating a terrifying area more than 30 meters wide.

gap;

A large amount of earth and rock debris, together with several groups of soldiers on that side, immediately fell towards the magma lake with a rumbling sound.

Only Fang turned sideways and grabbed the black spear that was running towards him, as if he wanted to test the power of its attack.

When the limbs rotate forward and backward, the twisting and bending movements and the forward resistance caused by the fact that the lower abdomen cannot be lifted off the ground make it very clumsy after losing the momentum of charging.

The fixed vine continued to exert force inside it, causing cracks in it, and then burst open with a 'bang' sound, restoring the freedom of the vine inside.

They appear to be the same magma and blend into the entire environment again without any hindrance.

The specifications of each throwing spear are exactly the same, with a length of 2.5 meters, a diameter of 20 centimeters, and a density of 5.53 grams per cubic centimeter. With the blessing of the troll and the power of the totem, all of them will explode with terrifying penetrating power.

with killing effect.

Therefore, he secretly sent corresponding instructions to all parties, and many witch doctors and soldiers with different divisions of labor began their own preparations.

On the other side, the suppression team among the Warcraft witch doctors has begun to cast spells such as forward swing, slowness, debilitation and other spells. With their joint preparation, the spells are slowly taking shape.

"How about it, do you want to try to go in and catch it?" Fang asked Nesta.

Sure enough, their double gills were opening and closing feebly like fish caught ashore.

The monster on the lake seemed to be aware of the support from below, and its behavior became obviously more arrogant.

This monster seems to have no strength at all, but it cannot completely convert it into speed. Almost all its body parts become a burden when turning and moving.

The big monster swam quickly in the magma, easily avoiding the attacks of other vines.

Therefore, some vines began to dive below the lake surface, quietly surrounding the monster;

However, their faces are always facing the direction where the target will appear, with their eyes squinted and their muscles warming up, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

It moves left and right at high speed, always able to slip through the gaps in the vines. The scales covered with magma flowing on its body seem to be extremely slippery, like a mirror with nowhere to focus, and no vine can stay on it for too long.

Long.

Following Nesta's order, the number of vines that were harassing the monsters on the lake suddenly dropped sharply;

Most of them have begun to prepare for the subsequent ban. If this is not possible, it must at least interfere with the monsters' escape speed.

But this monster lives in magma every day. It is extremely sensitive to the hidden vines and can easily dodge it, making the witch doctors' cover methods ineffective.

"clear!"

The warriors gently pulled one out of it, then stretched their bodies sideways, raised their arms and pulled back, holding the middle part of the throwing spear, slightly tilting their sharp heads upwards, and prepared to shoot diagonally;

I saw it swaying its tail and making a "pop" sound in the air, showing its powerful strength;

The four legs on both sides of the body are extremely thick, and the claw tips in front of the webbed membrane also have sharp claws;

~~~~~

Most of the vines laid out in advance were wrapped around the trophies;

But as the witch doctors gradually became familiar with the struggling strength of the three small lava monsters, it was no longer necessary to use so many vines to bind them.

Before, and even now, they have always been under the breath-condensing spell of a certain teammate, and since they have never taken action, they have a very low sense of presence in the perception of the volcano monster without vision.

This seemed to cause the monster on the lake to have some misunderstanding;

"clear."

~~~~~

Only half of the soldiers entered the crater, and the other half were preparing to attack around the top hole.

The monster in the lake now showed far more agility than the three 'little guys' before;

Before the words could even be finished, something invisible to the naked eye broke through the surface of the lake and exploded towards the crater.

They opened their mouths and swallowed a large mouthful of magma. The gills on both sides of their bodies shook violently, and they threw out some things that seemed to be treated as waste;

At this time, as Nesta's order was issued, most of the soldiers inside and outside the mountain pass silently stretched out their hands.

In front of them were the standard heavy-throwing spears that had been lined up in advance;

"It is true that the ability to solidify quickly even in magma is a bit dangerous for us terrestrials. If combined with the black spear just now and the restricted mobility, it aims at our heads or organs.

, even a troll’s constitution will die.”

It was seen that he was always turning in the direction in which his compatriots were being pulled. Although he let out an unpleasant roar from his mouth, he looked even more anxious;

And some of them are still entangled with it in the open, trying to attract its attention.

Nesta also decided not to wait for the other two below, and directly issued the order for a staged general attack.

After a short and continuous roar, most of the spear body sank into the rock wall behind, leaving only a section of the matte-colored tail, vibrating outside the wall, constantly shaking off the powder produced after the rock exploded.

The witch doctors' spell-casting actions were always within the monster's perception, so their attacks on them were extremely fierce. The witch doctors, who had no way to fight back, were driven away for a while like a group of exhausted winds.

Wolf

At the same time, the vibrations of the lava lake were heard again, and for the first time, the movement caused by the upstream giants below was perceived by the witch doctors in the form of non-vocal signals.

~~~

Above the lake, three little monsters were hoisted up and struggling desperately in mid-air, but they were still pulled away towards the crater at a limited speed by the vines above.

It brought up a large tide of magma several meters high behind it, and at this time it was squeezing away in all directions;

~~~~

The new big guy has successfully swallowed the three little monsters in mid-air into its mouth, but it itself is still leaping upward due to the influence of inertia.

Under the lake, the actions of the three big monsters went awry. One of them continued to march upwards, while the two on the side launched an attack right here.

He seems to be well aware of this problem of his own;

Therefore, after charging only once, it took advantage of the fact that all the trolls were waiting with the mentality of "watch carefully" and plunged back into the magma;

After that, only half of his body was exposed on the lake, and he roared in the direction of Nesta and the others, but it seemed that he no longer planned to launch an attack easily.

The remaining few plant-type witch doctors are still using a small number of vines to maintain their attack posture, and their purpose is only to paralyze the misjudgment of their own abilities by both upper and lower ends.

At that moment, Nesta sensed the actions of the monsters below and noticed the sudden attack of two of them.

In addition, the density difference between the bottom magma and the upper magma has also been exploited to the extreme, and together with the powerful body that is extremely adaptable to the molten liquid environment, they have increased their speed to the extreme.

"Test the strength of the solidified substance first."

The Warcraft blessing team, which had not been active for a long time, also started to act at this time;

The explosive sound caused by the heavy throwing of the spear in the air, and the short and sharp whistling sound that followed, instantly drowned out all the movement in the area of ​​​​100 meters, and seemed to be the only sound effect allowed to be expressed in the world.

On top of the crater, seeing the huge and ugly monster approaching, the soldiers who had escaped before felt angry;

Even with the reminder from the Parliament Speaker, two comrades were still shot through the head immediately and there was no way they could survive.

How could the trolls, who cared so much about the friendship of their comrades, remain indifferent to this? Even the enemies they provoked first were the same.

It was under this power, under the constraints of the military mission, and with the blessing of their own totems, they completed three rounds of volleys in just ten seconds, creating horrific wounds on the monsters.
