One, two, three

One after another, the gnolls who had been out hunting returned The gnoll alpha, which had a scarred face, glared at the dead bodies and growled loudly in anger It was ainst adventurers h to realise that their settlement had been attacked by adventurers Just like they brutally murdered and ate hunoll alpha could tell that there were only a few ene teaathered in the settlenoll tribe; over half of the warriors There had also been so into the forest Using their innate talent, the gnolls had tah those had also been defeated The coyotes could aid the and were also food reserves when there was a lack of food To gnolls, food was of utmost importance; they would even eat the weakest in the tribe when necessary

Gnolls were born warriors and scouts, having sharp claws and fangs, as well as a sensitive sense of snolls were indistinct, with there being only slight differences in size Generally, er than females, and the fe their baby nursing period, but these weren’t very useful indicators

The gnoll alpha stopped in front of a dead fenoll It bent down and sniffed the corpse's bloody claws; the blood belonged to Soran It then lifted the three-hundred-pound body up with one hand and let the others suish the set’s blood for half a day, and they could track the target down if it ithin a one-kiloe—this was their natural instinct

Just as hue for those killed by e the deaths of their young children

The gnolls howled and howled, then started to trace Soran by detecting the sest creatures in the wilderness, but they were certainly one of the most troublesohter, born as hunters who could track down their prey Their bestial instincts alsoruled the weak Gnolls were Level 3 monsters the moment they became adults, and their combat proas conoll warriors Under dire circuer than the the power of numbers and tea the scale of a gnoll tribe As long as there was a sufficient food supply, a fenoll pups a year When food was lacking, only the gnoll alpha had the privilege to eneration of the tribe were all strong gnolls Not only could the other tribe noll alpha's children together This was very si through the dense forest In such a terrain, only rangers could leisurely ditch the pursuing gnolls; it was only a nolls could locate hinolls” on the outer planes Their blood tracking ability had a range of ten kilometers, and they were lethal hunters who preyed on drakes Thankfully, Soran didn’t have to deal with those currently

Back to the current situation, the gnolls were now charging into the forest, following his trail of blood Soran needed a eous terrain; he could easily handle dozens of kobolds at the sanolls was beyond his ability

It was a contest of stanolls With 20 Constitution, Soran had considerable staradually slowing down after charging for a kilometer or two The dense forestation was a hindrance to both parties; the gnolls could not charge at full speed, nor could Soran However, Soran's Dexterity granted hiility His enhanced sense of balance and reflexes allowed hi bushes and branches, and he could even run a few steps on tree trunks when necessary To put it sihten Object while the gnolls had to run on the ground

The trees were getting less dense, and the terrain was gradually changing Soran noticed a rocky hill ahead; it had a rocky cliff which alround, not to mention some three-foot-wide faults between the layers He accelerated and leapt, clinging onto the wall of rock with both hands, and began cliility, Soran clihly twenty h there was nothing but rocks up there

Soran applied some ointment to the wounds on his shoulder, then loaded his enhanced crossbow After that, he proceeded to take outand placed them into his waist pouch, which used to hold short knives used for throwing

When facing gnolls, it was best to avoid open areas such as plains to avoid getting surrounded If encircled, even high-grade warriors would need to take a few hits to break the encircleue like Soran

Traps were only useful under specific circumstances and terrain, which hy adventurers rarely spent the tiers, ere best suited for coility instead of strength and power This was also why the advanced profession Swashbuckler existed; it was for people who liked to fight like warriors but would also like to have hts

The trees and bushes at the edge of the forest rustled, and gnolls ee had a scar froinal wound been a bit more to the center, its eye would have been rendered useless

”Finally”

Soran lowered his enhanced crossbow and took out a bloody head fronoll pups he killed in the settlenolls howled in grief and rage They went into a frenzy, their eyes bloodshot They howled as they rushed toward the rocky wall, wanting to climb up and tear Soran to pieces
