Chapter 249 The advance of the beast tide
Lin En was lucky and happened to meet a caravan that was traveling outside to harvest, so he had the idea of taking a ride.
After easily defeating the most powerful warrior in the caravan guard, Kevin, a middle-aged warrior at level 8, Lynn and the other two successfully joined the caravan of the big merchant Nuka with their strength.
This is very common for adventurers to join the caravan alone or in a small team. Adventurers can take the team's ride to save their feet, keep food and accommodation without having to watch the night, and can also add an additional income.
If the goods transported are not sensitive, the caravan manager is willing to provide another insurance for his team with low expenses. Of course, the premise is that the other party has good reputation and deep qualifications so that the bodyguards will not become robbers.
Lynn has always been quite meticulous in his work. This time he came out and made four or five fake identities. As the real second-in-command of Herrien, most of them have Herrien's official proof. It is still possible to find out the true and false false identities in the official adventurers association.
What he brought out now is the highest proof of the beauty of the B-level mercenary group. His current identity is the leader of the regiment, a third-level silver barbarian berserker Richard Vinn, and a mixed race between the barbarian and the Herien.
This time, their mission was to clear out the ape monsters that were found in the attachments of Weip Town. This was still a level A-level mission. When Lin Neng went to check the information, he really wanted to complete it along the way.
It proved to be official, the tasks are all real, and with the actual strength, the caravan owner Nuka agreed to join the group without saying a word.
In this era of wild beasts, strong strength is the guarantee of life. A silver strong man is enough to sell himself as a powerful force in exchange for a considerable income and continuous improvement of resources. Even if he continues to take risks alone, he often becomes the middle and senior management of a large adventure group and will not easily take tasks.
Eight or nine-level wild quasi-silver like Kevin is a typical example of idle strong men. Wild silver is extremely rare, let alone "Richard" as a thirteen-level barbarian. It is recognized in the mainland that the actual combat power of barbarians and orcs must be at least two levels. That is to say, the actual combat power of this seemingly young mixed-race man in front of him has reached the level of a golden strong man.
So Nuka's attentiveness made Lynn feel uncomfortable. He took turns to watch the night and asked about his long and short questions. The meal supply standards were directly the same as those of the big merchant himself. Even Nuka himself often left the caravan work to chat with this barbarian. It seemed that he was in the mood to attract people.
The cunning Lin En didn't want to offend others. He mentioned it a little, and he had a good relationship with the Long Ge family, so he broke the businessman's heart. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, no matter how rich the merchant is, he still cannot compare with the great nobles who hold troops and fiefs.
The result of the high-standard treatment is that you don’t have to do anything and just wait for the meal to be called. So, Lin En and the other two sat comfortably in the carriage, counting the pedestrians on the way.
Unexpectedly, along the way, there were many orcs and barbarians returning home, coming and going in a hurry, but most of them seemed a little depressed and worried. Obviously, for the two tribes who had been out for many years, Omas' actions were really not favored.
Lynn hesitated for a while, but in the end he was absolutely out of order, but on the tenth day of departure, the midnight that night, trouble still happened.
At midnight, it was rare to meditate. Lynn was sleeping extremely sweetly, but was awakened by the screams outside the tent.
As soon as I rushed out of the camp, I found that the entire camp was in chaos, with screams and calls for help everywhere.
"Camp is attacked?" Lin Neng was so dark that the chaos in front of her eyes suddenly came to Michelle's scream in his ears.
"This taste? This feeling is damn, it's a beast tide!!" "Beast tide, in this month?" No wonder Lynn was surprised. Beast tide is often formed by heavy snow covering the mountains and monsters cannot find food. In previous years, the beast tide was after one month of prosperity, and now it's just June, how could there be a beast tide?
But he was suspicious and did not take it slow. In an instant, Lynn summoned the tight staff of his bag and ran towards the light. There were many people and loud noises there, so he must have encountered trouble.
As expected, the mercenaries who were rushing to shoot arrows at the sky were swam in a large group of three rotten vultures and Fry attackers.
The three-headed rotten vultures are bigger than two more heads and can spit out a little disgusting green venom, and their length is no different from their distant relatives on Earth. The Fry attacker is a monster with a dog-headed geek body. These two flying monsters are only more than one meter high and more than one meter long, and they have no talent and ability. The individual strength of Lun can only be considered as the bottom of the mid-level monster, but the flying ability and the racial characteristics of the group make them often the nightmare of the destroyers and caravans in small and medium-sized villages.
Nuka and several other merchants were surrounded by mercenaries. As employers, they were the safest, and the others were not so lucky.
Flying villains circling at low altitude from time to time. As long as the mercenaries have a slight slack or loophole, the diving nightmare will take away a life.
Although the mercenaries carried bows and arrows, they certainly could not afford to use the short-term worker of enchanted arrows, regardless of range or lethality. It poses no threat to such a flying monster.
At this time, a lion-sized Fry fell down violently, grabbed the shoulder of a mercenary holding a gun, and pulled him upwards.
A cold light flashed, and a scream, the unlucky mercenary suddenly fell to the ground, and the corpse with a big hole in Fry's mouth was next to it.
Lynn took action.
"Long Xiang." The violent barbarian jumped up suddenly, and the monsters that were not flying high immediately arrived in Blood Mildew.
Lynn jumped onto the back of a huge three-day vulture. With a wave of his staff, the plasma splattered, and knocked off its three heads, and the headless corpse fell immediately.
Lin Neng didn't mean to go to the ground. He shouted loudly and had a little feet. The barbarians' common combat skills jumping and jumping took turns to find the next target.
Next, he found that he didn't even need to take action. With the heavy staff, as long as he jumped on the monster, he would scream and an irresistible fall.
In just over twenty seconds, there were more than ten deaths of flying monsters. Suddenly, a vulture with white hair on its head roared to the sky, and after a scream like a crow's mourn, the three rotten vultures and Fry's attackers left without looking back.
The safety of the camp was obviously more important than such a monster. After a little thought, Lynn also gave up on his plan to continue chasing these dead birds and fell down.
After going to the ground, what he got was the mercenary's admiration and the merchants' gratitude. If it weren't for Lynn's actions, I'm afraid the caravan would have welcomed its end here.
But before Nukado could say a few words of thanks, a loud shout suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Outside the camp, Michelle suddenly showed her shape. In her eyes, she was a rare panic in the past. She shouted to Lynn. "Lin, Richard, let the caravan go to that mountain to take refuge. The beast tide is coming."
Whether it is the vegetarian herbivorous dragon or the unicorn dragon that feeds on it, they are all moving forward in unison. Whether it is the violent blood-winged griffon, the gentle colorful red feathered bird, or even the thunder and lightning roc and the two-legged flying dragon, which are natural enemies, they are flying side by side, with a wide variety and endless number. There are rumbling sounds of shocking trampling on the ground, but the sky is black, making people unable to see the stars and the moon.
On that high ground, Lin En was a little scared when he looked at the endless beast tide passing by the original camp below.
If it weren't for Michelle's current release with a keen sense of smell, he would probably have ended up with a desperate situation.
He was afraid that the mercenaries and merchants had their faces pale. They were the only one who actually left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's house, and almost died.
"Richard, the beast tide is running quickly.
"In the sky, Qilier, who was flying, greeted Lin En.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the beast tide generally did not change directions and the mountain was safer, watching so many monsters pass by, it was still very confusing.
"Why are there beast tides in this season?" Finally, when I had time, Lynn began to consider this completely off-season thing.
In previous years, during the high season of beast tide, small and medium-sized caravans and small teams of travelers would not go out at all. Even if they had to go out, they would collect relevant information.
Although this time it was only a small beast tide, it came very suddenly. I am afraid that some unlucky travelers and caravans would be unfortunately killed.
"How could there be a tide of beasts!" Although it was the same sentence as Lin En, his tone was already an exclamation and affirmation, and he also looked at the sky subtly while speaking.
Lynn immediately understood. "Omath God of Beast!" Omath God of Beasts, as a newly enfeoffed extremely weak god, only one beast in the clergy, and the beast itself cannot provide faith. Therefore, he is working towards the orcs' patron saint. If he can gain the faith of the barbarian at the same time, it would be even better.
"Not only, although there are wild beasts in its priesthood, he who has just ascended to God should not be able to make such a beast tide. If his believers forged miracles, feasted on his power and attracted more believers, it would be possible." The great magician's recitation directly reminded them of their hearts, and his judgment was undoubtedly more comprehensive and close to the facts.
"Can the beast tide be created manually?" "Of course, it's enough to artificially destroy the ecological chain, such as setting fire to the mountains, cutting off water sources, and driving away super monsters."
"Maybe some professional orc control hands and feet are added." Through the connection between spiritual chanting, the three of them formed a preliminary conclusion in just a few words.
If you continue, you may encounter a beast tide. It’s easy to say that a strong man like him can fight or retreat. The travelers of the caravan and the team can only become food for wild beasts (those beasts with supernatural abilities are called monsters). Lin Neng, who came to the conclusion, immediately turned to the caravan owner and said a lot.
Nanuka is also a smart and capable person who can start from scratch and create such a big foundation. The number of orcs and barbarians along the way has already made him secretly alert. Now that he encounters such a thing, he naturally knows how to advance and retreat.
Immediately, he agreed to Lynn and returned to Southampton with the official letter Lynn wrote to Herrien, and notified the town along the way to be careful of the tide of beasts that were coming...
