Chapter 318 The Talking Lion
The lion opposite, contrary to its majestic image, is actually as timid as a mouse.
When he saw the strong man with a full beard carrying a shiny axe coming over, he screamed in fear, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and turned around and ran away.
The scarecrow Vita was standing behind the lion, and was hit by him unexpectedly.
The poor scarecrow, weighing less than ten kilograms, was hit hard by the strong lion. He screamed and flew up, waving his arms in vain in the air, rolling and floating far away, and fell into the bushes in a head-down position.
The tin man's eyes turned cold, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the lion, and he spoke with a full knight's style.
"Stop! Rude man, you knocked my friend away! Don't even think about leaving here until you apologize to Vita!"
"Wow! The tin man can talk! So annoying! So annoying!"
The lion was frightened again and rushed forward in a panic.
Perhaps because the mechanical joints were wet by the morning dew and a little rusty, the Tin Man's reaction was a little slow. Just as he raised the axe, the lion had already rushed to him and knocked him to the ground with a pounce. He rolled into the bushes with a clang and got stuck between the tree roots, unable to stand up for a while.
At this time, Ma Yun received a task prompt issued by the system, requiring her to unite with the remaining teammates to teach this reckless beast a lesson.
"Brother Fei! Sister Feng! The monsters are starting!"
"OK! Show this guy a little color!"
Jiang Feng turned on "Rage" and his strength soared.
Then he threw a "Taunt", pulled the lion over, and rushed up with the battle axe.
Gao Fei put on the "Warlock Mask" and started with a "Tangled Spell", creating countless activated vines where the lion was, and steadily controlled the field.
Then he opened the star disk and checked the illustration of this lion.

…
From the data, this enlightened lion named Dimitri is much more powerful than ordinary lions, and is worthy of being the strongest teammate around the heroine in the original work.
As set in the original work, this guy is a coward.
The original work of "The Wizard of Oz" did not explain why the lion was timid. This game module adapted from the original work put forward a more reasonable explanation-"cursed".
From the lion's "cowardly curse", Gao Fei thought of the scarecrow's "inferiority curse" and the tin man's "indifference curse".
If nothing unexpected happens, this is another good thing done by the Eastern Witch Ivanora before her death!
At the same time, Ma Yun was not idle either.
First, he applied "Mage Armor" and "Shield" to himself to maximize his defense, and then made a series of gestures, and a pale ray of negative energy burst out from his fingertips!
"Nucumna!"
The spell symbolizing "weakening" echoed over the battlefield, and this "weakening ray" accurately hit the lion Dimitri.
Unfortunately, it failed to penetrate the opponent's toughness immunity.
Fortunately, the "weakening ray" can still take effect for 1 round if the recipient successfully saves.
During this period, the lion's attack roll has disadvantages, and the double dice take the lower one. He swung two claws in succession, but failed to hit Jiang Feng's berserker, and was knocked to the ground by "earthquake".
Gao Fei seized the opportunity to release "Thorny Whip", entangled the lion who had just turned over and climbed up, causing 3 points of whipping damage, and pulling it back 10 feet.
Dimitri finally broke out of the vines, but was dragged back to the control area of the "entanglement technique" by Gao Fei. During this period, Jiang Feng took the opportunity to attack him, and his head was broken and bleeding, and he screamed.
The battle continued for another round. The cowardly lion lost more than half of his blood and his morale collapsed. He turned and hid in the bushes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Catch up! Don't let the lion run away!"
Ma Yun just received a system prompt that the next stage of the main task is to track the cowardly lion Dimitri.
"Don't worry, go and fix the scarecrow and the tin man, and then chase the lion." Jiang Feng said to Ma Yun.
"Sister Feng, the lion won't run too far, right?"
Ma Yun asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, richest man, there are traces of the lion's blood in the bushes. We will definitely catch him if we follow the blood trail."
Gao Fei smiled and comforted Xiao Ma.
Ma Yun was relieved, first helped the tin man up, and then dragged the scarecrow out of the bushes.
The Tin Man Nick was intact, but the Scarecrow Vita's belly was pierced by a branch, revealing a handful of hay.
Ma Yun stuffed the hay back into Vita's stomach and used a "repairing technique" to help him sew up the crack on his belly.
The adventure team regrouped and followed the blood trail left by the lion into the dense forest.
After walking about two hundred meters, a gurgling stream appeared in front of them, blocking the blood trail.
At this time, the system sent a prompt, requiring everyone to conduct a DC10 "Tracking (Survival)" check to determine the direction in which the lion escaped.
Jiang Feng's Berserker got the bonus feat "Survival Expert", tracking skill +6, and the check has an advantage.
"Just DC10, it's so easy!"
Jiang Nvxia successfully passed the tracking check and confirmed that the lion did not cross the stream, but waded through the shallow stream and fled upstream.
Everyone went upstream along the stream bank and walked to the foot of the mountain, and found blood trails in the grass again.
The lion left the stream from here and waded ashore.
Following the blood trail, we continued to track and saw a cave not far away.
Ma Yun cast a spell to create four small flying light balls, which were remotely controlled to fly into the cave and dispel the darkness in the cave.
Gao Fei and others entered the cave under the guidance of the "Dancing Light Technique" and found that the deep cave was covered with dry and soft leaves, which looked like a large cat bed. They also found a few golden bristles on the leaves.
It was obvious that this cave was the lair of the Enlightenment Lion Dimitri.
There was no trace of the lion in the empty cave, but there was a disturbing evil atmosphere.
