The trolls are all huge creatures, and there are many types of them, such as snow trolls, wilderness trolls, jungle trolls You can see them from the plateau mountains to the underground world, from the deserts in the south to the snowfields in the north. to their footprints. They usually have three pairs of red or blue eyes, a pair of strong arms, fast running legs and a strong torso. Each of their hands has four huge claws, which are the trusted weapons of the trolls.
Snow Trolls are also a type of troll, and their fur is far more valuable than other trolls. However, they are also more dangerous than other trolls. After all, in the cold wind and snow with harsher natural conditions, they must grow tough skin and have sharper claws and teeth in order to survive.
Many people think that this huge beast cannot swim, but the corpses of many adventurers floating in the river and the boats smashed by the troll's claws tell everyone that they are good swimmers, with a body size of three meters. Nothing prevents them from swimming like real fish in rapids. In summer, snow trolls will follow the river to the north to escape the warm winds on the Polya River. In winter, they will swim to the Polya River to intercept migrating salmon schools. At this time, their route coincided with the route that Bert and his party were going to take. This was really a coincidence.
For a moment, it was too late to curse the surveyor who drew up the route. At this time, I remembered how bad his face was, even though the route given by the old draftsman was correct.
It can just avoid the demon army, merge into a narrow but gentle river that can be used by small boats, and there are many fish swimming in it, and then enter Hubu City. One family of snow trolls, whose tastes seemed to be basically the same as those of the old surveyor, also chose this route and were currently hanging leisurely behind the three boats.
"They are looking for opportunities, waiting to turn us all into lunch." Lear said, "I can feel their hunger. These four snow trolls are a very harmonious family, three adults and one juvenile. Cub."
"If they really dare to attack the ship, it means we have a few more troll skins to keep out the cold, and the troll skulls can also be used to makerugged helmets. I guess in addition to providing their own skins and bones Otherwise, it will not affect our normal navigation. Let me think about it, when we reach Tiger Step City, there will be no troll corpses, which means there will be no bragging rights." Jess Dangyong said with ridicule and confidence in his own side. said in a tone of voice.
"No." Bastanai objected. "They can dive. In the middle of the night, they quietly swim under the boat and dig a big hole. I have seen more than a dozen snow trolls collectively hunting a group of ice walruses. The walrus's After the corpses were dragged ashore, their abdomens could be clearly seen." Bastanay drew a cross shape on his lower abdomen, "There was a very horrific wound, which proved that their death came from the silence underneath them. In the river.¡±
"But the water in this area is very shallow, and the snow trolls cannot do this." Jessdown still wanted to struggle, "When the sun is clearer and magic and arrows can accurately kill these beasts, it will be their turn. We are happy."
"Don't forget that they are faster than us." Lear had insight. "I have read books about them. The snow trolls are intelligent. At noon when the light is strong, they go to the shore. Wait until the clouds and wind and snow arrive. , they dived into the water again and used their sense of smell to find our way. With their fast swimming, they caught up with us, and in the absence of the sun, we couldn't tell the difference between their white fur and the clear river water."
"The snow trolls should also have their own natural enemies." Jess looked back and saw that, as Lear said, the four snow trolls changed direction, jumped out of the water, returned to the shore, and left with their legs. And not long after they left, Sanal also officially shined her light on everything in the world without concealment.
"Cherish the rare sunshine. When the snow comes, it will be the turn of the snow trolls to slaughter humans wantonly." Bastanai said sadly, "In the Leitening Empire, the snow trolls take away at least a hundred people every year. To two hundred lives look at these horrific figures. I think we have to strengthen our sentries, especially at night."
"They all seemed to be lazily leaving, and I wondered if there would be any trouble for a while." Jestang said, "Actually, since the first attempt, I have liked using the dark blazing fireball to The fish in the water exploded. Now I want to try it again." His eyes were shining with joy.
"As you wish" Lear twitched the corner of his mouth.
Bert lay on the deck, looking at the gray sky. The appearance of the snow trolls brought everyone's mood to a low point. They are also one of the "original masters of the continent" and are creatures created by the Creator God himself. Made by the God of MagicThe vegetarian creatures, the various elves created by the forest goddess, and the humans created by the joint efforts of the gods are completely different. They are the ones who are most suitable to control the Windekenf continent according to the will of the Creator God. Of course, the other gods are completely different. disagree.
"I heard that troll meat is delicate and becomes a rare delicacy after being roasted." Bert is completely different from others. "Their skulls are often used to make helmets. After the fur is woven, it can also be used to keep out the cold and provide protection. effect."
Thinking of this, Bert suddenly felt happy. In his eyes, the fierce and strong snow troll had become a pile of good materials. He picked up the bloody giant sword, walked to the railing of the boat, and looked into the water.
The water surface was sparkling, reflecting his shadow, and there were three sets of red eyes. Burt clearly felt his heart beating. He immediately pulled out his red sword and pointed at the snow troll hiding under the water. At the same time, he roared loudly: "Troll¡ª¡ª".
Bert¡¯s shout alerted everyone on the boat, as well as the snow troll underwater. It is not the adult one, but a snow troll cub. It is only about two meters tall, but it still has the power to tear ordinary people apart. The snow troll was obviously frightened. It immediately paddled its limbs and rushed toward the shore like an arrow. Once it reaches the shore, with the troll's advantage in the snow, it can quickly find a hiding place - just dig up a piece of snow and lie down in it.
"It's the Snow Troll! The crossbowmen are ready!" On the three boats, the archers unfurled their bows and nocked arrows. This time, Larov hired ten mercenaries, all of whom were excellent shooters. At this time, they aimed at the position of the snow troll and fired more than a dozen arrows towards the water. The arrow's muzzle velocity is very fast, and it can still cause a certain amount of damage even if it sinks into the water.
But the troll is very fast and its fur is very hard, leaving only three of the most powerful arrows on its body.
"The cunning trolls made the illusion that they all went back, but in fact there was still one left waiting for an opportunity. It seems that they are not enemies that should be taken lightly." Jestang put away his contempt and began to recite the spell seriously.
More arrows were shot towards the shore. The troll lost the protection of the water and exposed its back to the deadly archers on land. The second round of arrow rain left seven arrows on the snow troll. After all, it was not an adult yet. The little guy was frightened by the pain and the scream of arrows piercing the air, and he staggered and started running. And Jestang's dark blazing fireball suddenly arrived. Snow trolls are most afraid of fire, and their hair can easily be ignited by flames.
Half of the snow troll's body was burned by the flames. It roared and rolled on the ground, and finally extinguished the flames. But when it stopped and rolled over, more arrows shot into its soft belly. The snow troll's red blood continued to flow out. It was seriously injured and its speed was getting slower and slower. Just when it seemed that another volley could finish it off, the situation suddenly changed.
"Roar¡ª¡ª" Two obviously different roars sounded in the forest at the same time. An adult snow troll rushed out angrily, blocked the third round of arrows with his body, and then picked up the injured young snow troll and ran away. Return to the forest. Another snow troll rushed straight towards the ship. The child was injured. How could the parents not be angry?
I saw its strong legs kicking hard on the ground, leaving a pair of very obvious deep holes in the snow. Its huge body fell into the water a few seconds later, and the waves splashed on the boat. Its position was right between the two ships, so all the shooters abandoned their cubs and aimed at this extremely dangerous snow troll. Once it goes crazy and completely smashes the ship, then they will enjoy the treatment that Lier used to get every year for free. Except for druids, people who float freely in the wild river can only end up being hit by rocks, swept away by whirlpools, or simply frozen to death.
The close range shots from the shooters were not pleasant. The snow troll let out bursts of painful roars. It understood that this weird weapon, which looked very small, actually had terrifying power. Realizing that it was too reckless, it slapped the hull of a ship with its sharp claws, kicked the damaged ship as if to vent its anger, and then quickly jumped into the water and disappeared, leaving only The traces of blood oozing from its wounds swam in the cold river water.
"Stop!" Larov commanded loudly, "Pull the boat to the shore and see if it is injured." If the cabin is broken by the troll and water pours in, the boat will capsize and people will die. Danger.
The Kuang River is as restless as its name. This river gave birth to the original Atak Empire and has the characteristics of the Atak people - irritability. The water suddenly became turbulent, making it extremely difficult for the ship to berth.
"The water seems to be starting to rise." Bert observed keenly, "I guess it's because a blizzard started blowing upstream, so the river is very restless now." He looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a particularly dark cloud covering it.Tour location.
"We must repair it quickly, otherwise we will all be submerged by the rising river water. We must hurry up before the snowstorm comes to our side." Larov was anxious. If it weren't for these damn snow trolls, they would have probably entered the tributary of the Mad River leading to Eagle Back City by now. The impact of the blizzard there was much less severe than here.
