In Wang Zhou's view, these honey badgers only look scary, but are not actually powerful.
After all, everything is relative.
The blood volume of C-level elite monsters is generally between 15,000 and 20,000. The honey badger beast's blood volume is so high, so its attack and defense will not be too strong.
Otherwise, how could Chu He and the others be able to kill so many honey badgers?
He was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to Chu He and others. He wanted to prove his strength in front of everyone.
"Slash!" Wang Zhou roared, leapt up towards a honey badger beast, and slashed hard with his sword in both hands.
The honey badger beasts bared their teeth when they saw Wang Zhou coming.
The honey badger beast he targeted raised its claws and slapped him hard.
The claw of the honey badger beast directly knocked Wang Zhou away.
The armor he was wearing had several huge holes torn apart by the honey badger beast's claws.
His armor was scrapped.
Wang Zhou's blood volume dropped by more than half.
This frightened him so much that his expression changed.
"Help!"
"Help me quickly!"
He fell to the ground and saw the honey badger beasts rushing towards him, he looked at the others and roared in fear.
Liu Xiao held up the frame with his fingers and looked at it indifferently, without any intention of doing anything.
When Wang Zhou's blood alliance members saw Wang Zhou being attacked, they looked frightened and had no idea of helping.
Because they knew Wang Zhou's strength very well.
Wang Zhou was seriously injured by a blow from the honey badger beast, which is enough to prove the terror of the honey badger beast.
If they go to support, they will only die.
Everyone watched Wang Zhou's death.
Following his death, the honey badgers were aroused by the smell of blood.
The honey badgers swarmed towards everyone.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately dispersed and ran away in fear.
When Liu Xiao faced the honey badger beast's attack, he just took a step back.
Li Ya, who was in the blood alliance with him, also took a step back.
The honey badger beast didn't seem to see them and ignored them, but attacked others.
"Aren't we going to take action?" Li Ya looked at Liu Xiao and asked.
"Take action?"
"These dozen honey badgers are not weak in strength."
"It takes a lot of effort to deal with them."
"And even if we solve them, what's the point?"
"This thorn bush is the habitat of these honey badgers."
"Kill them. If you continue moving forward, you will still encounter honey badger beasts."
"Now it's important for others to understand how horrific this area is."
"Only then will they agree to take a detour."
"Fortunately, the number of honey badger beasts we encountered is not large. We can use these honey badger beasts to eliminate some of the bad guys in the team."
"Even if there are fewer players left, they are all very capable." Liu Xiao said in a calm tone with an expressionless face.
In his view, Wang Zhou's death was entirely self-inflicted.
He has already told everyone that Honey Badger is very strong and it would not be a wise decision to have a head-on conflict with it.
In the end, that idiot Wang Zhou actually said something stupid like "It doesn't matter, I will take action."
Moreover, because of the other party's overconfidence, no one else agreed to take a detour, which resulted in the current situation.
If that's the case, then he won't come forward to clean up the mess.
Everyone was chased by more than a dozen honey badger beasts.
But the Honey Badger was very fast, and many people were caught up.
Some of the slightly stronger players immediately launched a counterattack after being caught up by the honey badger beast.
"Everyone join forces and kill them together!"
"If we don't kill them, we will all die!"
"Don't run away. If you continue to run away, you will only be chased by the honey badger beast."
"Even if they are elite monsters, we can defeat them together."
"Asshole, don't run away!"
"Mad, stay and fight together!"
The people who were caught up by the honey badger beast yelled.
But those who escaped had no intention of taking action.
The person who was caught up by the honey badger saw that the others had no intention of fighting and could only fight with all their might.
They all used their ability to press the bottom of the box.
In their desperate state, they killed several honey badger beasts, and they paid the price with their lives.
The living honey badgers continued to chase the escaping players.
The people who were being hunted had another hard fight.
In the end, more than ten honey badger beasts killed more than twenty people before they were killed.
The original team of forty-five people now only has less than half left.
Liu Xiao and Li Ya walked out of the thorn bush area.
Everyone else gathers here.
Seeing everyone's panic, Liu Xiao said calmly, "I've told you before."
"The honey badger beast is very strong and difficult to deal with."
"But you don't listen, you insist on walking through this area, and you don't agree with my detour."
"Now, do you still have any objections to me?"
Everyone's faces turned ugly when they heard Liu Xiao's words.
In their opinion, Liu Xiao's words now seemed like he was mocking them.
"Asshole, why don't you take action!"
"If you had taken the lead, so many people wouldn't have died!"
A man whose blood alliance members were all killed by the honey badger beast rushed to Liu Xiao, grabbed him by the collar and roared.
Liu Xiao stared at the other party with cold eyes and said nothing.
Facing Liu Xiao's oppressive eyes, the man's expression changed and he immediately released Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao adjusted his clothes and said in a calm tone, "Should I take the lead?"
"If you recognize my position as team leader, I, as the team leader, do have an obligation to protect your safety."
"But actually?"
"You don't listen to me at all."
"I said we should take a detour, but there are too many self-righteous fools in the team."
"Among them, the guy named Wang Zhou is the representative."
"But the other party paid with his life for his stupidity."
"And because of his stupidity, other people paid with their lives."
"The person you want to blame is not me, but Wang Zhou. It's because of his taking the lead that you didn't agree to the detour."
After hearing Liu Xiao's words, everyone who was originally dissatisfied with him looked embarrassed.
Liu Xiao was stating the facts.
They did not agree to the detour before.
They felt that the Chu He people who left first could deal with so many honey badger beasts, and there was no reason for them to deal with so many honey badger beasts.
Even if some people die, it is normal.
Is there any C-level game that doesn’t kill people?
But they didn't expect Honey Badger Beast to be so strong.
So much so that they were caught off guard and had no choice but to run away in confusion.
"Is there anyone among you who disagrees with the detour?" Liu Xiao looked at everyone and asked.
This time no one objected.
When Liu Xiao saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"In this case, let's take a detour."
He led the team and continued to set off, and everyone moved forward quickly.
…
late at night.
Among the thorn bushes.
Chu He and others lit a fire, cut the body of a honey badger into pieces, and grilled it next to the fire.
After all, this game will last for a week, so eating and drinking can only be done in this other world.
After roasting for more than half an hour, the honey badger's meat was roasted until it was sizzling with oil.
Chu He picked up a piece and handed it to Lilith.
Lilith was so hungry that her eyes were filled with stars.
She took the barbecue and started to devour it, regardless of how hot it was.
Chu He also picked up a piece of barbecue.
Not to mention, the taste is okay.
Although there are no seasonings, the meat of the honey badger has a natural aroma.
After being grilled, the meat still tastes quite good with a little burnt skin on it.
As for the black-spotted jackals, their food is also the corpses of honey badgers.
But they are not so particular and eat it raw.
After filling his stomach, Chu He did not intend to continue on his way.
After a day of action today, he felt tired.
Everyone chose to rest on the spot.
The black-spotted jackal king stood guard with his people.
Chu He and the others rested on the spot.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Chu He and others woke up and continued on their way.
It was not until the afternoon that everyone finally walked out of the thorn bushes.
When entering the thorn bush, there were three to four thousand black-spotted gnolls.
Now, there are only a few thousand black-spotted gnolls left.
There is no way, there are so many black-spotted gnolls that the target of the operation is too large.
Even if Lilith summons black bats to explore the way in the sky, they can't completely avoid the attack of the honey badger beast.
But the remaining black-spotted jackals were enough in Chuhe's opinion.
After all, more than a thousand cannon fodder is almost enough.
Shortly after leaving the thorn bush area, Chu He and others arrived at a swamp.
To be honest, Chu He felt that the geographical environment of this other world was really outrageous.
First there were the barren plains where the jackals lived, and then there were the thorny bushes where the honey badgers lived.
Now it's a swampy wetland again.
This strange geographical structure is really beyond his understanding.
But different worlds are always a little different, and this is understandable.
"What kind of creature lives here?"
Chu He looked at the black-spotted Jackal King and asked.
"Sorry, Master, I didn't know!"
"I have never been to this area." The Black-spotted Jackal King replied.
Think about it, with the strength of the black-spotted gnolls, it would be impossible to pass through the thorn bushes without their leadership.
It is normal for the black-spotted jackal king to not know what creatures live in this swamp.
"Lilith, do you know this area?" Chu He looked at Lilith and asked.
Lilith also shook her head slightly.
Chu He licked his lips. Since neither the Black-spotted Jackal King nor Lilith knew this area, they must be careful when traveling in this area.
However, this area also has advantages for Chuhe.
That is, there is water in this swampy wetland environment.
With water, the Giant King Crab can use its talent [Deep Sea Carapace].
Moreover, Zhu Moli can also use skills to create a copy of the giant armored king crab, so that even if she encounters any powerful enemy, she can still deal with it.
At Chu He's signal, Zhu Moli first used her skills to create a copy of the giant armored king crab.
The giant-armored king crab and its clone entered the wetland. Everyone stood on the giant-armored king crab, and its clone cleared the way in front.
The black-spotted jackals followed behind.
The speed of everyone moving forward is not very fast. After all, it is unknown what type of enemies are hidden here.
Not long after walking forward, the screams of a black-spotted jackal suddenly came from behind.
Chu He and others turned their heads and saw a large number of giant leeches with a length of one meter attached to the body of the black-spotted jackal.
[Vampire leech, level C, blood volume 3000]
"leech?"
Chu He frowned.
These giant leeches are stronger than black-spotted gnolls.
One-on-one, they are no match.
It would be a pity once all the black-spotted gnolls were wiped out in this area.
There was no other way, Chu He had no choice but to take action.
Chu He equipped himself with a burning medal, jumped off the giant armored king crab, stepped on the muddy wet ground, and rushed towards these blood-sucking leeches.
When Yang Meng and Liu Meng saw this, they immediately took action.
The giant armored king crab and its clones seemed a little powerless at this time.
If they attack, not only the blood-sucking leeches will die, but the black-spotted gnolls will also die.
After all, this is reality, and there is no such thing as a teammate avoiding injuries.
After Chu He approached the black-spotted jackals, the blood-sucking leeches attached to them started to burn.
In just one breath, the blood-sucking leech attached to the black-spotted jackal was burned to death.
Obviously, blood-sucking leeches are not only immune to fire, but will also cause additional damage when attacked by fire.
This is normal. Leeches are creatures that live in water, so it is reasonable for them to bear increased fire damage.
In just a minute or two, Chuhe burned to death the blood-sucking leeches that attacked the black-spotted jackals.
But even so, many black-spotted gnolls died.
Their blood volume was too low, and coupled with the simultaneous attacks of multiple blood-sucking leeches, they simply couldn't hold on.
There are only about 700 black-spotted gnolls left alive.
Chu He felt that whether these black-spotted jackals could leave this area alive was a problem.
Sighing, Chuhe asked the black-spotted jackal king to look after his people.
Then he jumped onto the giant armored king crab and continued to lead the team.
on the way down.
Blood-sucking leeches attack frequently.
The number of black-spotted gnolls is getting smaller and smaller.
Until nightfall, they had not left this swampy wetland.
But so far, they have encountered no enemies in this swamp other than blood-sucking leeches.
This also made Chu He feel a little more at ease.
At least these blood-sucking leeches pose no threat to them.
But this swampy wetland is not a suitable place to rest.
And food is also a problem.
After all, no one wants to eat this blood-sucking leech.
Chu He led the team to continue on their way, wanting to leave this swampy wetland as soon as possible.
Half an hour later.
The road before them was cut off.
Ahead is a huge swamp.
The swamp stank.
Seeing this swamp, Chuhe couldn't help but recall the swamp murloc he encountered while protecting Lilith.
Will this be the survival area of swamp murlocs?
Chu He thought it was unlikely.
After all, swamp murlocs are only F+-level creatures.
If they had survived in this swamp, they might have been wiped out by blood-sucking leeches.
There must be more powerful enemies in this swamp.
