Chapter 27 (2/2)
“Treasure? Hogg loves treasure!” said Hogg, blinking his fierce, little eyes.
Xiao Yu thought that Hogg’s IQ was a little worrying—Hogg’ had walked into the trap immediately when he mentioned the treasure. But anyway, he liked that.
“Please come back then, the treasure is in the tower.” After that, Xiao Yu turned around and went into the tower first.
Golden Tooth wanted to leave, but when he saw Hogg go back into the tower with two Gnoll guards, he had no choice but to follow Hogg.
Back at the Watch Tower, Xiao Yu turned back and looked at everyone. As soon as everyone was ready, he bit his teeth and started attacking.
However, Hogg looked around, puzzled. “Where’s the treasure that you were talking about?”
“The treasure is here, look—”
Xiao Yu raised his staff and started summoning a Fire Elemental.
A red summoning circle appeared on the ground, then fire emerged from several runes and gradually condensed in the air, forming a two-meter-tall Fire Elemental.
This Fire Elemental had an HP of 200, with immunity to fire-type spells. When attacked by ice-type spells, their damage would double. It had two skills: Fire Arrow and New Star of Fire.
Hogg was scared and took a step back.
Hogg (Gnoll Leader) said, “This is not a treasure, it’s a monster. Hogg doesn’t like this monster.”
Xiao Yu suddenly raised his staff and shouted, “Now!” As he raised his hand, a string of Flame Missiles bombarded over.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In a burst of explosions, damages of -6, -7, -8, -8, -7 were dealt. A Flame Missile only made Hogg lose 30 or 40 HP. There was no other way, Hogg and Xiao Yu were both Elite monsters with 20% damage reduction and high resistances.
Xiao Yu’s Flame Missile was like a signal. Instantly, the three Orc brothers, Blake Rhode and the two Bandits under him, and Derek rushed forward. The Fire Elemental hit Hogg right in the face with a Fire Arrow.
After a round of attacks, they managed to beat Hogg’s HP down by a quarter, but Hogg also reacted immediately.
“Hogg is mad, Hogg wants to eat you!” He yelled, “Attack!”
The two Gnoll guards behind him rushed up immediately with a roar, but they were stopped by the two human Bandits under Blake Rhode’s command. Golden Tooth, together with a few Kobolds behind him, were freaked out. He instinctively wanted to obey Hogg’s orders, but on the other hand, he hated Hogg, and he was scared to fight with the enemies in front of him. When he finally summoned his courage, bit his teeth, and rushed up with a pickaxe, Derek stopped him with a forward charge.
“Get out of the way, this is none of your business,” said Derek fiercely.
The Kobold was really useless. Although Golden Tooth was a leader, he was still too afraid to face a Gnoll together with four Kobold subordinates, and could only hide in the corner.
