Chapter 556 The Convoy is Attacked
Chapter 556 The Convoy is Attacked
Under these circumstances, the convoy traveled for another day. By this time, they had penetrated deep into the Titia Forest and were very close to the location of the manor that Lin Tian had purchased. However, Lin Tian still needed to determine the exact location.
It was evening, and everyone was resting in their makeshift camp. Many people would gather materials around at this time, since the adventurers would definitely eliminate any threats in the vicinity if they were to set up camp here.
Of course, some people will choose to hire adventurers to go to more distant places; ultimately, it's their own choice.
After pretending to go for a stroll, Lin Tian returned to the carriage and began to carefully read the land deed.
Besides serving as the key and control mechanism for the estate, the land deed also acts as a location marker, but it can only indicate its approximate location.
Therefore, Lin Tian must use Tia's official map to quickly deduce the exact location.
Gulu~
After taking a small sip, Lin Tian gently placed the teacup aside. However, just as he was about to continue studying the land deed, he suddenly noticed that the carriage had begun to tremble slightly.
what happened?
Lin Tian instinctively raised his head. His first thought was that the Red Diamond Squad had finally lost their patience and wanted to make a move against him.
However, as he continued to feel it, he suddenly realized that the key to the problem was not the carriage, but the ground that was shaking.
Who?
Sensing something was wrong, Lin Tian immediately leaned out of the window. Like him, some other perceptive people also noticed the anomaly. The group, along with Lin Tian, looked towards the depths of the distant forest.
boom~
boom~
boom~
The dense forest and bushes blocked their view, but judging from the trembling of the ground and the constant muffled sounds, it seemed that something huge was approaching.
Unlike others, Lin Tian's eyesight was exceptionally sharp; even with many obstacles, his gaze could still penetrate through the gaps in the walls.
With his exceptional eyesight, he quickly discovered the true situation in the distance.
That is......
Boom! ! !
With a dull thud, everyone present focused their attention on the tall bushes, and after a moment of silence...
what! ! ! ! !
With a piercing scream, a figure flew out of the bushes and landed on a clearing not far away.
Boom! ! ! !
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the person who flew out seemed to be an ordinary person who had been traveling with them, originally supposed to be going out to gather herbs.
But now, he has been tortured beyond recognition, covered in blood, his right hand and two legs have been twisted violently, and his left chest looks like it has been gnawed on by something, as if a large chunk of flesh has been torn off by teeth.
He was already on the verge of death, and after being thrown out, his life force was completely severed.
Upon seeing this, everyone turned pale, and the expressions of the several adventurer guards also changed slightly, becoming vigilant.
After seeing the man's miserable state, everyone became even more curious about what lay behind the bushes, so they quickly turned their attention back to him.
The very next second after they turned their gaze back, another heart-wrenching scream came from the bushes, and with a rustling of the grass, a huge figure slowly emerged.
This creature is about four meters tall, with a stout build, and its limbs and fingers are unusually thick. Its body is a yellowish-brown color.
His round eyes were lively but lacked wisdom, and his pointed horns on his bald head added to his simple-mindedness.
Before coming here, Lin Tian bought some books about the Forest of Titia, which also recorded some monsters.
Those with these physical characteristics are a type of monster called ogres. Many years ago, they came to the Forest of Titia from the Psionic Realm and formed a considerable population in the forest.
They are extremely brutal and love to attack humans. With their enormous size and formidable strength, many adventurers have died at their hands, making them extremely dangerous monsters.
But why didn't the people at the front of the convoy notice a monster of this level?
Everyone was puzzled, but just then, the ogre let out a roar, and people noticed that there was still a living person in his hand.
"Help! Help me!"
The man looked unwell and didn't even have the strength to speak. After he finished speaking, the ogre lifted him to its mouth and began to devour him rapidly.
Click~click~
Seeing their companion's flesh and bones tangled together, everyone's faces turned deathly pale, and many began to scream.
Fortunately, the Red Diamond Adventurers stepped up at this moment. After a brief discussion of their battle strategy, the five of them charged toward the ogre.
As professionals, the Red Diamond Adventurers wouldn't panic like ordinary people. Although they had relatively little experience fighting ogres, as a well-coordinated team, taking down an ogre would definitely not be difficult.
Therefore, with their professional coordination, the cannibal was quickly surrounded, and the team members began to launch an orderly attack.
Next, through close cooperation, after several rounds of fighting, the ogre had suffered many injuries. If it weren't for his thick skin, he would have fallen long ago under such an attack.
"Keep the formation! Don't break it!!!"
Among the five, the armored man wielding a hand shield and a mace is the captain of the Red Diamond Squad, named Dorken! He is in charge of commanding the entire battle.
He was a seasoned veteran, and even in the face of such an unexpected situation, he was still able to calmly command the battle.
"Red Sands, step back, Eric, move up..."
However, just as Doken was directing the battle, he was adjusting his position when he suddenly felt himself bump into something.
what?
Doken looked back but found nothing, and he immediately thought it was his imagination.
However, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He kept feeling like something was watching him, so he tried to change his position, but when he did, he bumped into something.
wrong! ! !
Doken's heart tightened, and he finally realized that something was wrong. At that moment, he subconsciously looked up, and the next second, the air behind him suddenly began to move.
As the air began to distort, a huge fleshy face and a massive, obese body appeared behind him.
Doken, looking up, met the eyes of that ferocious face.
This...this...this is...
Roar! ! ! ! !
As the monster let out a roar, Doken's expression quickly turned panicked and terrified.
"Yamete!!!!"
