Chapter 469 traces of battle

Grove had rarely traveled with people before, and since his mother died, he has always wandered aimlessly in the vast sea grasslands alone.

“Hmph, only weak little wolves need to live in groups, and powerful giant bears can live well on their own.” Grove always said to himself when he was alone.

Occasionally, he would go to the lake community known as ‘Tui Taiweisi’, and jump into any clear lake at random. When he’s done playing, he’ll grab some fat lake fish to fill his stomach, and trade the surplus and halflings from nearby villages for some sweet honey.

Grove likes honey very much. When he was a child, he lived with his mother on the grassland. Once his mother found a beehive underground or on a tree, he would encourage him to change into a bear form and search for honey in the hive. At that time, after his transformation, his fur was not dense and tough, and he would often be stung by bee swarms, and his mother would laugh from the side and dig honey to comfort him. wounded heart.

Occasionally, Grove will track some shoe or claw marks on the vast sea steppe, continuing to track the owners of these traces, watching them secretly. If their actions are hurting this beautiful grassland, Grove will kill them all without mercy.

He has killed many, many creatures, and most battles are over in a matter of breaths. Grove would catch the robbers off guard with a sudden acceleration charge, and then use a series of swoops and claws to take them all out.

However, some human riders in metal armor will be more difficult to deal with. They cooperate closely and have outstanding martial arts. Not only can their sharp swords in their hands hurt Grove’s thick fur, but their fine armor can also block his swift claws. hit. At this time, it is time for the hand axe around the waist to appear. The powerful axe can split the riders and horses into two pieces. Whenever this happens, Grove will have something in his heart. An unquenchable bloodthirsty urge.

Occasionally, he would also go to the werewolf gathering place called ‘Grey Tail’ to help the lycanthropes there drag rocks, carry trees, and do things within his power in exchange for more delicate food. Although Greytail has revealed more than once that he wants to keep him as a companion, Grove doesn’t want to live long with the werewolves with the tip of their grey tails.

Those lycanthropes were of the werewolf race, but he was a bearman. Those lycanthropes usually move in normal human appearance, but he spends most of his time in this upright half-human form.

Grove kept in mind his mother’s dying teaching not to change back into human form in front of other creatures, and if his appearance was seen by others, it would likely bring him terrible disaster.

As for why, Grove doesn’t know, and doesn’t want to know. He was used to obeying his mother’s orders, even if he was stung all over by the hateful bee swarm every time, but next time as long as his mother said a word, he would still rush to the hive without hesitation.

“Groff, why is your surname ‘Dullclaw’?” the young mage in the team asked him, “Could this strange surname be passed down to your father?”

“No, I don’t know who my father is.” Grove replied indifferently, “My mother took this surname, she wanted me to be a kind person, ‘The touch of a blunt claw won’t hurt ‘, that’s exactly what my mother once said to me.”

I’ve hurt a lot of people, mother, but it’s to protect more innocents, Groff thought to himself. I’m not a fan of combat, but reality forces me to resort to this extreme approach often.

…

This is a very strong team of travelers. Leaving aside the young mage, the combat effectiveness of the others is also very good.

Grove thinks that the man with tattoos on his forehead like the ‘Visnat’ is the most terrifying. The aura on that guy’s body is quite strange. Grove, who has a keen sense and has a ‘beast intuition’, is actually inexplicable. There was a trace of fear, which is a feeling that the bear man who has gone through countless battles has never felt before. He estimates that it should be very difficult for him to defeat this human being one-on-one.

The bodyguard named ‘Red Crab’ and the guide ‘Gene’ in the team can also see that he is not a mediocre person. The bodyguard has a strong killing aura. For Gro Bluntclaw, who has ‘beast intuition’, this It is the easiest to judge by the breath carried by a large number of killings.

And Gene’s behavior and habits are very similar to those of the human cavalry that Grove has encountered before, which is why our bearman wanderers are eyeing this group of people.

As for the businessman named ‘Ariel’…

“I was also a good swordsman when I was young. At that time, I was not a businessman, but a fairly qualified adventurer.” The businessman said boastfully, “In my opinion, cutting with a sword and reaping with a sickle In fact, crops are not too different, the key is the three words fast, accurate, and ruthless! This is the swordsmanship trick I read from a strange ancient book, especially for those who use thin swords!

There is some truth to this statement, and Grove nodded in agreement.

“What’s the name of that ancient book?” the young mage asked curiously, “Is there any other requirements before practicing this kind of swordsmanship?”

“The book doesn’t have a cover, so I have no way of knowing its name.” Ariel replied, “As for the other requirements?” What kind of request do you mean?”

“No, it’s nothing.” The mage waved his hand and said that he didn’t care.

The businessman brushed past the question and continued to boast, “I once dealt with two gnoll robbers and nine goblin robbers by myself, and I killed all the gnolls and five goblins, and scared the other goblins to run away. .”

“Of course, I’m not without injuries.” He got up his sleeve late and showed everyone a scar on his right arm, “I had countless scars all over my body at that time, but the most serious injury was still in On the arm. The tendon here was cut off by a vicious gnoll in that battle. After that, although he recovered in general, he could no longer use too much force, and there was no way to fight with a sword like before.” He Said with regret.

Through daily conversations, Bear Grove Bluntclaw gradually got to know these humans. They were planning to go to the holy place of elf ‘Los Rollin’, but the purpose of going here was different. Grove plans to **** these people to the elven holy place, and then leave quietly.

As long as they reach the area of ​​the elves, even if these people want to do some unscrupulous deeds, it is completely impossible~www.readmtl.com~ His mother had taken him to visit the sacred forest several times before, so Grove had great confidence in the power of the elves.

On the fourth day of our bear adventurers entering the team, the originally smooth journey finally took some twists and turns.

They found the corpses of several centaurs and horses by a crooked river, and around these corpses, there were many fallen plant-shaped monsters.

“These humanoid plants are withered monsters?” A human named Barret was on guard with a sword.

“Yes.” Grove changed from the giant bear back to the half-human form, and slowly walked towards the corpses of the centaurs, “These monsters are very dangerous, they will corrupt the land, infect plants, and will eventually kill everyone in the vast sea grassland. The species that live in, all!”

These corpses have been drained of blood by the blight monsters and have become a little shrunken, but one of the corpses still makes Grove feel a little familiar.

The bear man crouched down and straightened the head of the corpse in front of him. This is Sairon! A scout leader of the Centaur tribe, whom Grove recognized instantly.
