#10 - Chapter 10 Sneak Attack
Whoosh!
An arrow, so crudely made that any race would recognize it as such, shot out fiercely from the depths of the forest.
Its presence was like a viper, spitting venom.
Dark and deadly.
Catching everyone completely off guard.
Thud!
The next second, this arrow pierced the head of a Lesser Demon, pinning its body to the trunk of the giant tree it was about to incinerate.
This arrow not only sent the Lesser Demon back to the embrace of the abyss but also made its corpse a gruesome sight.
Besides having an arrow sticking out of the back of its head, the Lesser Demon’s body was suspended thirty centimeters above the ground due to the arrow's tremendous kinetic energy.
Like a tattered doll nailed to a tree.
But before its companions could mock the unfortunate Lesser Demon, more arrows swiftly shot out from behind them.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
The remaining three Lesser Demons followed in the footsteps of the first, nailed to the trees.
In less than two seconds, the four Lesser Demons, originally sent by Wu Wei to scout and gather resources, died silently in the forest.
On Wu Wei's system map of the trial continent, the information about this area was once again shrouded in the fog of war.
And this was just the beginning.
On the other side, another demon squad sent by Wu Wei also encountered a similar fate.
This squad, composed of Imps and Lesser Demons, was heading towards a rare gold mine that could refine [Adamantine].
However, their purpose was not to mine the gold.
With their numbers of fewer than 20, they couldn't handle the normal operation of a gold mine.
Wu Wei sent them there simply to eliminate a few Level 1 Metal Slimes nearby and bring back their dropped corpses to the Endless Abyss.
But just as they were gradually approaching the Adamantine mine along the already cleared path.
“Wahooo~”
Suddenly, dozens of Centaur warriors burst from their ambush, charging out of the nearby dense forest.
These strong and powerful Centaurs, like the Native Americans of another world, howled strange slogans while brandishing sharp scimitars, rushing towards the unsuspecting demons from both sides of the forest.
“Kakaka!”
Before the Lesser Demons could react, bloody heads flew up, spinning.
When the heads of these Lesser Demons fell to the ground, they were not even completely dead, their scarlet eyes still filled with a bit of confusion.
Everything happened too fast!
Compared to the Centaur warriors, whose lowest level after adulthood was Level 3, the Level 0 Lesser Demons and Level 1 Imps had no power to resist.
Besides the difference in weapons, the attribute values of the two sides were not even on the same scale.
The Centaurs’ strength was generally stable at 12 points, and their agility at 17 points.
As for the Lesser Demons, their strength and agility varied due to the chaotic influence of the abyss, but the highest strength among them was only 8 points, and the highest agility was only 6 points.
This comparison of attributes, coupled with the difference in weapons, made the demon squad appear clumsy and fragile in the face of the Centaur's attack.
“Wahooo~”
After eliminating the demon squad, the Centaur warriors did not linger.
They moved their strong horse legs and left with astonishing agility, leaving only a ground full of corpses.
This was somewhat different from their past combat style of always taking away spoils, but it was not incomprehensible.
In their eyes, these evil monsters were not their spoils.
These monsters that polluted the environment and defiled Mother Nature were the spoils of Mother Nature.
Because they were fighting for Mother Nature, the corpses of these demons had to remain in this forest, exposed to wind and sun, eaten by insects and pecked by birds, their souls never finding peace.
And because of this, they did not notice.
In their departing backs, in the corner of the dense forest, in the eyes of a dying Lesser Demon.
Endless resentment and unwillingness were brewing.
It, and the endless abyss behind it, had been angered!
——————————————
【Well done, they actually all succeeded in ambushing!】
On the other side, Li Mengmeng, possessing a sparrow, couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she watched one demon squad after another being wiped out.
【I originally thought that these half-human, half-beast Centaur warriors would use a more crude method to kill the monsters under this lord, but I didn't expect them to use such sophisticated tactics.】
【They not only possess superb mounted archery skills but also have powerful close combat abilities, truly excellent troops!】
For a moment, considering her future.
Li Mengmeng, who had already paid a huge price to get the Centaur tribe to take action, began to have new ideas.
She planned to bring these Centaur warriors and Ursoc Windwalker to her territory after she built the portal to make them her subordinates.
The Centaur warriors would greatly expand her early combat capabilities.
As for Ursoc Windwalker, he had the potential to become a racial hero.
All of this combined was very tempting.
When she told Ursoc Windwalker her thoughts, Ursoc Windwalker, the leader of the Centaur tribe, was indeed a little tempted.
After all, being a subordinate of a “Nature Spirit (Druid)” lord, although somewhat dangerous, also meant that the Windwalker clan would have a stable food supply for a long time.
A stable food supply, in this grassland where the infant mortality rate was higher than 60% every year, seemed so tempting.
But Ursoc Windwalker was not in a hurry to agree at this time.
The cunning him knew that the Nature Spirit in front of him was not a good person.
Even if he really wanted to bring his tribe to join Li Mengmeng's territory, he had to show his value as much as possible before joining.
Because only in this way would he have more qualifications to bargain with this Nature Spirit.
“Nature Spirit from afar, don't rush...”
Ursoc Windwalker flicked his dark and shiny mane and said to Li Mengmeng on his shoulder.
“The matter of our clan joining can be postponed.”
“Isn't our most important task now to eliminate the remaining monsters gathered in the forest?”
“Not just these monsters, we should also destroy the portal that summoned them here, shouldn't we?”
Looking at the extremely evil Abyss Portal in the distance, Ursoc Windwalker revealed a confident smile.
