Chapter 400 Invitation to a Trap
The hardest part about dealing with the e
Nine adolescent manticores: two of which were as powerful as elite adepts, three as powerful as veteran adepts, and four of which could be coh firepower to crush Gree theamel and Eva were veteran adepts, while Greem could only maintain the power of an elite adept for a limited time!
The other adventurers and apprentice adepts were useless in battle; they hardly even qualified as et the a ruesoe in military force, they would have to resort to traps They needed to bait the manticores into a narrow chokepoint and shave away at their nue The only reason Gree in his plan was due to his understanding of the ical creatures However, they did not possess any long-ranged attacks It was part of the reason ht even be weaker than those pathetic wyverns if they hadn't been relying on their unique horound tunnels
It was about time for the sun to rise once one out to hunt returned to their den
The two elite-level manticores were the first to become restless when they entered the tunnel
In their past efforts of penetrating into the tunnel, Greeamel had always eliminated their scent and all trace of their existence However, this time, they had coht the adventurers along with theht up the pitch black cave
The thick s torches were like a lighthouse in the dead of night; it couldn't be any roup of hued But at the sa manticores they'd left behind in their den
Under its orders, the other manticores threw their prey aside and followed the s as fast as they could The further they went, the more concerned they beca towards their hidden den!
The manticores were extremely worried and concerned now!
Finally, they picked up the scent of the young manticores at a major junction that led to their den
Andodor of fire elementium and a faint trace of blood!
The former meant that human adepts were involved in this raid, and the latter caused the e
In less than five minutes they had scoured every corner of their den, Yet they had not found a single trace of the enemy However, their sharp sense of smell told them that the enemy had not left the cave Instead, they had taken thewith them and headed even deeper into the earth
The er Under the leadership of the ht after the scent in the air Eventually, they found the two manticore cubs in a dead end cave, where there was only one way in or out The htly, and to their side was a large pile of clothes left behind by human adventurers
As themanticores, Greeht behind the monsters The humans firmly held the most critical area of this place– the only entrance and exit of this dead end
This cave was a real dead end One exit, with no other paths leading to other areas Such caves and dead ends existed everywhere underground They were a type of geographical feature that was both loved and hated by all adventurers
If you were an exploring adventurer that found such a spot when the party needed rest, this would be the perfect spot to set up camp All you needed to do was seal the only entrance and set people on the lookout a little ahead, and you could rest without worry There was no possibility of being around creatures were pursuing you, such dead ends spelled the doom of you and your tea and a curse for all adventurers!
The cave that Greem had picked for the final battle had a funnel-like shape They had investigated this place countless times and were certain that there was only one entrance The only opening in and out of the cave was four h for an adolescent s unfurled, or two h, shoulder to shoulder
When Greem saw that the manticores had entered his trap, he immediately blocked their only exit path Gree Monster and the Decayer once he reached the entrance The rocky Roaring Monster was responsible for sealing the opening, while he and the Decayer would attack the manticores from the side
The other members of the party were spread around the area to secure the periround creature froe of setting off the various traps that they had hidden in the cave
They set large ahost shrooent shost shroorass and the sen in the cave
