If forest trolls were said to be hunters in the forest, then from the day they became hunters, they were prepared to become prey in the mouths of the magical beasts in the forest at any time. Here, trolls were definitely not at the top of the food chain.
The three forest trolls were huddled together with their backs against each other. The weapons in their hands were made of an unknown material. Although they were called swords, they looked more like wooden sticks. The three of them faced outwards at the same time, their center of gravity very low. It was obvious that they were ready to attack at any time.
Outside the forest trolls, two abnormally large tigers blocked them in this low-lying valley, one in front and one behind. It was as if they were ready to "wrap up dumplings" at any time!
These fierce tigers were over five meters long!
If their steel-whip-like tails were included, they were over six meters long. Their bodies were aggressive and streamlined, unique to carnivores. Their eyes were very different from the tigers that many people knew. They were actually on the sides of their heads like lizards. There was an exaggerated bloody maw in front of their heads that took up almost half the area of their faces!
Saliva dripped down from the teeth that were as hard as steel nails. Not only did this kind of strange facial features not make many people feel funny, but it also made him feel a chill spreading from the soles of his feet …
From the unconcealed muscle lines on their bodies, one could tell that these fellows' strength and explosive power was definitely not something that ordinary trolls could withstand. The muscles at the back of their jaws were abnormally thick, and there was no need to doubt their bite strength. Many people felt that if they were to bite down with all their might, even steel would be broken into two with a "kacha"!
Many people quickly learned of this creature's name from their memories: the saber-toothed tiger. Judging from those terrifying teeth, it really lived up to its name!
These were rank seven magical beasts, the top of the food chain in the forest!
Needless to say, the two high-grade saber-toothed tigers had tightly surrounded the three forest trolls, who weren't all that powerful. The terrain was extremely unfavorable for escape, as they were all uphill no matter which direction they went. Even with the forest trolls' speed, if they were even a hair slower, the consequences would be disastrous.
Many knew their choice after seeing this scene, and Carolina also understood many of their intentions. Just as the two saber-toothed tigers growled and suddenly pounced on the three trolls in the middle, ready to fight to the death, His Highness the Red Dragon made his move.
The saber-toothed tiger did not expect other creatures to suddenly appear around it. It also did not expect that the seemingly weak woman who was a hundred meters away from it would be so powerful.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
First, two seemingly harmless air bombs suddenly flashed through the air and accurately struck the saber-toothed tiger's body. However, the power of the air bombs did not seem to be that great. They only knocked the saber-toothed tiger about a meter away, causing its attack to deviate from its original trajectory.
However, it was obvious that Carolina's strength was not to be trifled with. The two air bullets were just the prelude to her attack. Before the two gigantic saber-toothed tigers landed on the ground, sharp earth elemental spikes suddenly shot out from the ground!
The two tigers were unable to turn around at all and fell straight onto the ground!
"Roar —"
Pained howls immediately resounded through the forest. However, these two gigantic tigers would definitely not die just like that. If they did, they would not be worthy of being called rank seven magical beasts. Faint yellow light shone from the two tigers' bodies, forcibly blocking some of the damage from the spikes!
The three forest trolls immediately sensed Many's intentions. They abruptly took a few steps back and maintained a safe distance from the saber-toothed tigers. The forest troll leader looked back and saw Many's hand gestures. His hand gestures were only used by trolls. Although Many wasn't a troll, the meaning behind the hand gestures made the forest troll leader immediately understand that he had no ill intentions.
However, he didn't have the time to determine if Many had any other intentions. The trolls were too lazy to think about so many things. They immediately aimed their weapons at the saber-toothed tigers in front of them and revealed their backs. This action also made Many sigh … If it was a human, perhaps they really wouldn't know what to do in this situation.
Carolina's attacks did not stop at all. However, it seemed that she did not want to directly kill these trolls. She raised one hand slightly and pointed a white finger into the distance. Faint light constantly flashed from her fingertips. The two high-level magical beasts in the distance were like playthings in her palm, unable to resist at all!
This level of restrained and powerful elemental control had long since surpassed the definition of a "top expert"!
The two saber-toothed tigers did not suffer any fatal injuries after being pierced by the earth spikes. They twisted their bodies and actually broke the spikes. However, the injured saber-toothed tigers seemed to know that they could not escape this calamity. They simultaneously roared and pounced at the three trolls closest to them. It was as if they were fighting with their lives on the line!
However, in the next moment, their attacks completely landed on an earthen wall that rose from the ground!
The two dull sounds of collision made many people feel that the two tigers' necks had been smashed and broken!
A spider web-like crack appeared on the back of the earthen wall. This was enough to show how strong the impact of the two saber-toothed tigers was. However, in the next moment, the earthen wall was dispelled by Carolina. The two seemingly dizzy tigers were a little confused. Seeing the earthen wall disappear, they actually did not dare to pounce at the first moment. Instead, they simultaneously took two steps back.
At this moment, the trolls were already dumbfounded. They had never seen such terrifying magic before. The grip on the weapons in their hands tightened.
"Don't kill them. They are useful."
Many suddenly turned around and said.
Carolina nodded and made a slight gesture with her palm. She raised it up, and the two tigers in the distance were immediately tied up by wind elemental chains that suddenly condensed in the air. They were suspended in the air.
The two tigers struggled in horror, but they found that it was useless. Their two big eyes looked around in all directions, and they were extremely frightened.
"You are safe."
Many walked up to the trolls and said in fluent troll language.
The three trolls looked up at the beasts hanging in the air. They were like country bumpkins who had entered the city for the first time, and did not know what to say.
This was Carolina's goal — to dazzle these trolls with a dazzling method to let these trolls experience her strength. If she killed them directly without saying anything, such a domineering act would probably cause some hostility. However, this method could let them understand immediately that she did not have any ill intentions.
After a while, the older troll in the middle gulped and lowered the weapon in his hand. He said, "You are not trolls … Why do you speak our language?"
"We are humans from the outskirts of the Azura Forest." Many understood that these trolls might not have come into contact with humans, so they seriously introduced themselves. "We do not have any ill intentions. At the same time, we wish to seek some help."
"Help?"
He spoke in the troll language with a slight accent. His skin was slightly green, and his fangs were not as long as Yuna's. However, his clothes were very interesting.
When they first met Yuna, the clothes of the entire Urgin tribe were basically stolen from human soldiers and the villagers of Odittore. The animal skin clothes sewn by the female trolls in the tribe were as simple as they could be. In short, if they were to evaluate them, only the beggar-like animal skin worn by the Caucasian trolls was worse than theirs.
But now, although the trolls' weapons were not very good, their clothes were very well-fitted. The word "well-fitted" was because their clothes were very well-fitting!
Their upper garments were made from two pieces of shiny animal skin, and around their waists was a thin animal skin that looked like a skirt. In the middle, there was even a belt that looked like it was made from snakeskin. All of these looked very well-fitting, and were many times better than the accessories of Yuna's tribe!
This showed a very typical problem — their level of civilization was higher than the Urgin tribe!
"I hope to receive your help … I haven't asked which tribe you are from —"
"Melk, I'm Keslan Melk, a hunter of the Melk tribe."
He looked back at the struggling tiger in the air and asked with uncertainty, "The prey is yours … We won't take anything."
"I don't mean anything else," Keslan thought that he wanted to "steal" the goods. Keslan smiled and said, "I just want to know some things, and I need some directions."
"Directions?
Where do you want to go? "
The troll who spoke scratched the white hair on his cheek. This meant that he was not young, and was an old hunter.
"Here. I want to know if there's anything nearby that I need to pay attention to."
Keslan smiled and handed over the animal skin map in his hand. His movements were very slow, and his eyes were fixed on the troll named Keslan, not letting go of even the slightest reaction.
"This is …" He took the map and spread it out. Perhaps because he was a little far-sighted, he held the map a little further away from himself, and squinted his eyes to look at it. But the next moment, the troll's expression changed!
"Where did you get this!"
