Chapter 16 - The Ferocious Gnolls!

[System prompt: Elk Meat+30]

This elk was not small and had a lot of edible meat.

Originally, Rene should have been able to obtain some other materials, such as fur, bones, blood, and so on.

However, this was the drawback of using the Overlord's warehouse to collect it. If they directly collected them, they could only obtain meat and no other materials.

If one wanted materials, they had to dissect wild animals first to obtain them.

Rene did not mind. He felt that the time he saved was more valuable than the minor benefits.

Moreover, he did not know if this elk meat could be eaten yet, and his identification skill could not determine its effect for the time being.

Perhaps this was also the difficulty that the system set for the Overlords.

Regarding this question, there was actually a way to solve this problem.

He could use these unidentified meat to exchange for food in the system.

But the ratio was 5: 1.

In other words, five units of meat could only be exchanged for one unit of food.

Rene did not do so for the time being. This method of exchange was too disadvantageous. He did not want to be a fool.

The team continued forward.

The surrounding wild beasts were all creatures of no grade. Although their levels were higher, they could not resist in the hands of elite soldiers.

Rene led the party through the forest, collecting a large amount of lean meat along the way.

Unknowingly, they arrived at their destination.

Rene led the team to a halt 20 meters away from the target cave.

To be safe, Rene chose to observe cautiously. He wanted to see the full scale of the monsters.

It was a group of ugly Gnolls.

They bared their teeth and looked hideous.

There were many skeletons and beast skins stained with dried blood on the ground. The surrounding air was mixed with a rotting smell.

Rene saw that there were indeed only ten enemies.

Perhaps because they were close to the territory, these monsters were only the most basic rank 1 soldiers. Their attributes were very ordinary.

However, they were beast-shaped monsters. With the buff of the strength of the ferocious beasts, their overall strength was stronger than ordinary warriors.

Rene put away his machete and let the team rest.

After waiting for the tiredness of traveling to fade, he waved the machete in his hand.

Charge!

Sixteen warriors held their weapons and quickly rushed out of the forest, charging towards the gathering spot of the Gnolls.

The remaining five militia soldiers guarded Rene, protecting him.

"Enemy attack!"

"Kill! Tear them apart!"

"Roar…"

Although the Gnolls were slow-witted, they were still humanoid and had very high intelligence. When they encountered an invasion, they immediately reacted.

However, Rene had already adjusted his mindset. Not to mention an intelligent monster, he would not pity even a human.

"Kill them all!"

Upon receiving the command, the Blazing Archer standing far away had already drawn the bow in his hand. A ball of fiery energy coiled around the arrow.

Then, with a bang, it shot out from the bow.

The meteor-like arrow instantly hit the Gnoll's body. The arrowhead entered its flesh and caused terrifying damage.

The Gnolls were only rank 1 soldiers with 40 HP. Their damage was 5-10, slightly stronger than ordinary spear soldiers.

However, such attributes were nothing compared to elite soldiers.

Under the shooting of the magic arrows, the Gnoll fell to the ground before it could wave its claws.

Pew!

The Blazing Spear Soldier quickly stepped forward and activated [Rapid Fire Thrust] three meters away. The fiery spear instantly pierced through the Gnoll's body.

Hot blood splattered on the rocks.

The fiery spear charred the fur around its wound.

This was the effect of magic damage. It was not something that the hide could block.

Moreover, the upper limit of the Blazing Spear Soldier's damage was 18 points. Coupled with the amplification of its skill, it directly drained most of the Gnoll's health. Then, he quickly stabbed and killed a Gnoll in an instant.

"Roar…"

The remaining Gnolls roared as they waved their claws crazily, about to tear the enemy in front of them into pieces.

However, the blade warriors were even more ferocious. The sharp blades tore through the dirty fur, revealing scarlet blood and white bones.

In fact, the combat strength of the blade warriors was not higher than that of the Gnolls.

However, what was more fatal was that the blade warriors had the talent [Sharpness], which would have a high armor-piercing effect. Under these slashes, the Gnolls were like fish on the chopping board and could not resist at all.

Furthermore, they faced 16 opponents. Almost every Gnoll had to fight two blade warriors.

Thus, with an absolute advantage, the warrior team only attacked once before killing all the enemies in front of them.

"What powerful combat strength."

Rene did not expect the battle to end so quickly. It ended with a single clash.

If the Overlords who were still worried about the first building saw this scene, their eyeballs would probably roll out of their sockets.

With a sigh, Rene walked forward and placed his hand on the Gnoll's dissected corpse.

A series of notifications from the system appeared.

But at that moment, a golden panel appeared.

[Gnoll Muscle+1]

[Gnoll Bone+1]

[Gnoll Fur+1]

[Gnoll Blood+1]

[Gnoll Heart+1]

[...]

It was different from the system's notification.

There was only one set of materials each.

There was even only one set of 'Gnoll Blood'.

"Is this the body part of the monster that dropped?"

Rene found that he had an additional warehouse that contained the special materials he had just obtained.

This warehouse had a golden panel. All the materials inside were dropped from the monster.

It seemed that every monster would only drop one of each material.

However, he had just killed ten Gnolls, so the materials he obtained were already piled up like a mountain.

Rene checked the information of the materials and found that there was no useful information on them. All the effects needed to be explored by himself.

He would slowly study these things when he returned to the territory.

It was time to explore the cave.
