This group of monsters was much larger than the Thornback Hellhounds.
There were thousands of them.
They were slightly shorter than the Thornback Hellhounds and looked a bit like wild boars. Under their ugly heads, there was a pig's nose and curved fangs on both sides of their mouths. The difference between these monsters and wild boars was that they had two sharp horns on their heads. Each horn was half a meter long and pointed like a spear.
"Although this is the Land of the Fallen, there are too many monsters!" Fox frowned.
"Something is wrong," Enoko Kazama agreed.
"I wonder if we've walked into a monster's lair," Fawkes said as he looked at Ruo, as if asking him to explain.
"If I say that this situation is normal, you will definitely think that I am lying." The guide Ruo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In fact, every time we enter, we will encounter the danger of being surrounded by monsters several times!"
"If it was easy for us to enter the Holy Land, why would we invite so many people to come with us? To share the treasures of the Holy Land? " The other guide, the handsome old man Luca, stood in front of Lin Dong and bowed politely, "Mr Wood, there is no need for us to bring everyone into danger without finding anything on the way. At the same time, we are not confident that we can safely retreat in such a situation! I don't deny that we have our own selfish motives, but inviting you to come and enter the Holy Land with us is absolutely sincere! "
"I have no doubt about your sincerity," Lin Dong nodded, "Next, let us think of a way to get through this together!"
"First, tell us about the current situation and the effective measures taken in the past!" Ye Qianru translated for Lin Dong and added.
"Okay," the guide Ruo nodded.
He pointed at the slowly approaching group of monsters in the distance, "These monsters are called Sharp-Tusked Horned Monsters. We believe that they are a type of demon. They look a bit like wild boars with sharp horns on their heads. Each of them is as large as a wild boar king. As we said, these horned monsters are not wild beasts, but demons. Therefore, they are different from the Thornback Devil Hounds from before. "
The old handsome guide, Luca, continued to explain, "These monsters have a certain level of intelligence. They know how to use their own blood energy, and they also have enough intelligence to formulate corresponding tactics to attack their enemies."
Philip thought for a moment, and then asked, 'How old are they?'
Ruo Ao, the guide, shook his head. "We didn't get a standard value, but we can confirm that they have the intelligence of an eight-year-old child."
Lucca added, "Their leader has higher intelligence. In a certain number of groups, there will also be elders and the king of the group. Some of the long-horned demons even know how to use elemental power, such as spitting fire from their mouths! We don't know how they did it, but there's a theory among us that they once entered the Holy Land and came into contact with a sacred artifact or swallowed a fragment of a sacred artifact. As a result, their bodies underwent an unknown mutation. They even have a simple language. It's a pity that we can't understand it at all! "
"Can you point out which one is their elder or king?" Fox asked.
"Usually, their bodies are larger than their subordinates." Ruo Ao shook his head. "But this is not the absolute standard."
"Have you killed and dissected the elder or king who killed the long-horned demons? Don't tell me you haven't! " Enoko Kazama looked at Ruo Ao with a smile. The sweeter the smile on this leech girl's face, the thicker the killing intent in her eyes.
"We have dissected them. The bodies of their elders and kings are not much different from ordinary long-horned demons. Their blood cores are larger than their companions, their muscles and bones are stronger, and their skin is thicker and has more tumors. But this is not the truth that explains why they can spit fire." Ruo Ao still shook his head. "We can't find out the secrets of the long-horned demons, just like how we can't find out most of the secrets of the Land of the Fallen and the Holy Land. That's why we invited the even more talented Mr. Wood and you guys!"
"We hope that you can find out the truth. We, the Eden Army, will not be stingy about the future. We are willing to share the rewards of the exploration with everyone according to your contributions. We know that this is not a huge cake that we can swallow alone! "Luca expressed their attitude directly.
"For thousands of years, you have been exploring inside, but even so, you have not been able to find out the truth. This is the first time we have entered, and you want us to produce results? Isn't that a little too much?" Ye Qianru laughed.
"No, you have misunderstood. We have no intention of forcing you. We just want to open up the Holy Land for everyone to explore together!" Ruo Ao said sincerely.
"How should we deal with them? What's the most effective method? "Philip asked directly.
"The long-horned demons are not afraid of fire, but they are afraid of rain," Ruo Ao replied.
"What else?" Big Ivan asked.
"They hate light," Luca said. Lucca said an important point, "The Horned Monsters can see in the dark, and light is something that they are uncomfortable with."
"Then let's turn on all the flashlights!" Big Ivan heard this. This was not the time to save electricity.
"We can't defeat these natives just by fighting them. We have to think of a way to break out of the encirclement quickly!" Luca shook his head. "The power of the flashlights must be maintained. Otherwise, if we lose the light, we will be dead in the Land of the Fallen."
"Break out of the encirclement?" Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu was furious. "How are you going to break out of the encirclement of thousands of monsters?"
"There is a canyon fifty kilometers ahead. There is a river in the canyon. We just have to rush into the river to get rid of these long-horned demons. They don't like water and hate rain." Luca indicated that there was still hope ahead.
"Fifty kilometers?" Big Ivan felt that it was not very reliable. "Fifty kilometers is too far!"
"This is already the closest survival zone we have!" Luca obviously knew how far fifty kilometers was, but did they have a choice now?
"Are you sure these monsters will let us break out of the encirclement?" Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu felt that on the way out, many people would be eaten alive by the monsters in the chaos. This was clearly a trap set up by the Eden Army to weaken the major forces. Of course, he did not say it out loud. Once he did, he would completely fall out with them. Before Lin Dong said anything, he could only suppress his frustration.
"Let's fight with the long-horned demons first and force them to give way. Then, we will send people who can protect themselves to guard the rear!" Joro paused. "This is my idea. The specific implementation plan needs to be approved by the major forces."
"Fang Yizhi, you will represent our special forces to participate in the decision!" Lin Dong was prepared to send Fang Yizhi as his representative.
"Mr. Wood, you are not going?" Joro was shocked.
"It will be the same if he represents me." Lin Dong waved his hand.
"This?" Big Ivan and the rest were shocked too. Was Mr. Wood going to agree with the Eden Army's plan?
"Then, Redondo, you will also participate in the decision as my representative!" Philip thought for a moment and decided to follow Lin Dong's lead. Since he did not care about the outcome of the decision, the Palace of Darkness would do as he said.
"It is necessary to break out of the encirclement. I personally agree with the plan, but I hope that during the implementation, all the forces will pay attention to cooperation, watch each other, and try to bring everyone safely to the area where the long-horned demons cannot enter." Lin Dong said to Fang Yizhi, "If the forces are not willing to guard the rear, then our special forces will accept this task."
"Yes." Fang Yizhi did not dare to disobey even though he had many questions in his heart.
Philip sent Redondo.
On Big Ivan's side.
After thinking about it, Big Ivan decided to participate in the decision himself. Otherwise, he would not be at ease.
As for the Teutonic Knights, William was not there and Griffon was grounded because he had not fully recovered. So Don Quixote volunteered to go in his place.
All the forces at the rear sent their representatives to the Eden Army.
Not only that.
They also sent someone to ask for Lin Dong's opinion.
After learning that Lin Dong would take the special forces, the Palace of Darkness, the Teutonic Knights, and the Eastern European Grand Alliance to guard the rear, their representatives were overjoyed and quickly rushed back to report. With their strength, if the Eden Army, the Plantagenet Dynasty, and the Eye of God broke out by force, they were destined to be the victims of the breakout.
"Mr. Wood, we hope that you will be the first to break out of the encirclement with the special forces. You are the distinguished guest we invited, the most important guest. We can't let you stay at the back." Silver Key Wise John rushed over and tried to persuade Lin Dong to change his mind and be the first to break out.
"It doesn't matter. For the special forces, this is a kind of experience." Lin Dong smiled and declined Silver Key Wise Jehan's good intentions. "The long-horned monsters are quite strong, but we're confident that we can successfully protect the expedition team. For me, it's the same whether we are the first to break out or the last to leave. After all, it's my first time here. You are more experienced in leading the way, and you can lead us to a safe area more smoothly! "
"Please think about it again. We don't want you and your team to suffer any losses!" Silver Key Wise John sighed.
Next to him, Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu held his breath.
Mr. Wood is important.
But are the rest of us the damned sacrifices? You are sacrificing our lives to be your stepping stones!
This exploration of the Holy Land was really a far cry from the last trip to Purgatory!
The Palace of Darkness did not intend to make use of everyone at all. The countless casualties were due to the harsh environment, and the big cunning dog Čepes was playing tricks in the dark.
If the expedition team had not been involved in the struggle between Castellan Özy, the Guard Captain Valentine, and Čepes, and had not been tricked by Čepes with the fake Rainbow Paradise, then the exploration of Purgatory could actually be said to be quite successful.
On the contrary.
This time, the expedition had just begun.
The Eden Army had tricked everyone once, no, twice! The attack on the Demon Dogs must have had something to do with the Eden Army!
"The decision has been made!" Fang Yizhi and the others rushed back to report: "After discussion, we, the Special Forces, will stay behind, but the Eden Army will send the monks and the Hermit Order to join us!"
"What about us?" Griffon asked Don Quixote anxiously.
"We have two choices. One is to break through with the Knights of the Eden Army, and the other is to stay." Of course, Don Quixote would not choose to break through. He hurriedly comforted Griffon, who was about to lose his mind: "Don't worry, I chose to stay. Not only us, but the Palace of Darkness, the Grand Alliance of Eastern Europe, the Small Boat Society, and the Viking Tempest are also willing to stay!"
"Well done. The safest thing for us is to stay with His Excellency God!" Griffon did not care that he was grounded. He jumped off the stretcher, patted his chest, and volunteered: "I'm all right, His Excellency God, please send me to fight!"
