“Maze” Jillim did not show much surprise or even doubt when he heard the report from the thief. He only frowned and pondered, “Perhaps we encountered a high-grade creature nest!”

“A biological nest?” Apostle and the others looked at each other. There was also such a creature nest. Which creature would build a labyrinth fortress in the dark region?

“It’s the Ox-Head Monster’s nest!” Gilliam did not confuse Apostle for too long and quickly replied with a bitter smile.

“Ox-headed monster? The orcs of the Northern Plains?” Mastasia asked curiously.

‘”No, it’s not the kind of tauren from the Northern Plains” Old Dwarf’s eyes were somewhat blurred, as if he had fallen into some sort of memory. He murmured, “The origin of this creature, the tauren, basically dates back to more than 30,000 years of prehistory … Elves hasn’t descended into Toril’s Lizardman Age yet!”

More than 30,000 years ago, Ferren was a primitive continent covered in forests.

At that time, even the Laws of the Toril world were not stable enough. The spatial barriers between Toril and other planes were very weak, and creatures from other planes would often barge into Toril. Of course, the biggest tribe here was the Elves tribe that would replace the Lizardmen in ruling Fehren in the future.

Apart from the Elves clan, the dragons, titans, flame spirits, qi spirits, balor demons, eye devil lords, ox-heads, and other creatures that had appeared in prehistoric times all came from other planes, not Toril World’s native races.

Elves is from Fairlier; The giant dragon came from the Dragon Realm; The Titan Giant came from the God Realm. According to legend, the Dwarves were stone spirits created by the Titan Giant using its own bloodline combined with rocks. The Flame Giant Spirit and the Qi Giant Spirit came from the Elemental Spirit World The Eye Demon Lord came from the Nightmare Plane. The Barlow Abyss Devil and the Ox-Head Monster came from the Abyss Plane.

Later, the Titan Giants left Toril for some reason. However, apart from creating dwarves, the legendary hill giants and trolls also possessed part of their bloodline.

There weren’t many dragons that entered Toril. Later on, they fought against the giant many times, and were destroyed by Elves and the dwarves. They slowly disappeared from the continent.

The Flame Giant Spirit and the Qi Giant Spirit had established a brief civilized kingdom. However, not long after, a great war broke out between the two in Calimshan and eventually disappeared into the long river of history.

The traces left behind by that war have not been eliminated, and that is the Carlin Desert north of Carlin Harbor.

As for the more sparse Barlow Abyss Devils, Eye Devil Monarchs, and Ox-Head Monsters, they were driven into the dark regions by Elves and Dwarves, and were no longer able to affect the surface world.

As time passed, the laws of Toril’s world gradually stabilized. Ox-heads, such abyssal creatures, slowly lost most of their abyssal talent and were assimilated by Toril’s world. Even so, they still retained a strong fighting ability, and to a certain extent, their physical talent became even more abnormal.

“Pure-blooded ox-headed monsters can reach a high level of strength as long as they reach adulthood. Their strength is very strong and their body’s defense is very high. Even if they don’t wear any armor, they are still equivalent to plate-armored knights.” Jillim said with a bitter smile.

“Ox-headed monsters are born with bloodthirsty, berserk, self-healing and other racial talents. After being taught by their ancestors, they are basically capable of grasping several combat skills such as roar, charge, trample, and block. They are naturally born Berserkers.”

The more Old Dwarves spoke, the more depressed he became. He rubbed his temples and continued, “Of course, this is not their most abnormal place.” The most troublesome ability of the ox-headed monsters was their magical immunity. “This savage Abyss Monster is immune to all non-forbidden Spells when it comes to adulthood. It is immune to most of the Shadow and Corrosion damage. It is immune to Elemental damage below the fifth ring!”

“The Ox-Head of the Northern Plains that the harpsichord is talking about is actually a bastard left behind after the Ox-Head Monster mated with the orc.” Jillim spread out his hands and helplessly said, “If it was a real ox-head monster … frankly speaking, with my combat ability, I can only deal with two of them head-on!”

The crowd around Jillim looked at each other. Jillim, this legendary expert, actually admitted that he could only deal with two adult ox-headed monsters … The expressions of the apostles instantly changed unpredictably, not knowing what to think.

Berserkers were immune to mind control. They could understand this, but what was the meaning of immunizing against elemental damage below five rings? ? ?

According to Toril’s web rules, Zero Ring Magic corresponded to Apprentice Spells, One Ring Magic corresponded to Low Rank Spells, Three Rings and Four Rings almost reached Intermediate Rank Spells. Although five-ring magic could be considered high-level, if it was converted into an apostle skill, it would be a B-rank magic skill!

[B-level skill can affect the Ox-Head Monster?] If he wanted to inflict serious damage on them, wouldn’t he need an A-class skill? Losing an [A] class skill to destroy a monster? Romon, the black-robed mage of the Weiss guild, immediately had a wonderful expression on his face!

Powerful, equivalent to a plate-armored knight’s defense, with its own Bloodthirsty Berserk Template, warriors’ battle roar, charge, blocking and other battle techniques are also proficient in, return magic to avoid elemental damage …

No wonder legendary Dwarves thought that he could only deal with two of them head-on!

“Cough, that … Jillim, in your opinion, how many ox-headed monsters are there in this maze fortress?” Qin Lun noticed that his companions weren’t in high spirits, so he immediately coughed and asked Jillim.

Following Qin Lun’s question, Apostle instantly came to their senses. Whether the Ox-Head Monster was strong or not was not important. The key was whether it was large in number or not. Under normal circumstances, high-grade creatures had the concept of territory, and the number of creatures in a certain area would not be too large.

“According to the historical records of our clan, the ox-headed monsters that were driven into the dark regions usually take families as units, but there are also records of several families forming tribes.” Jillim frowned and said, “Judging from the size of the maze in front of us, there will be at least ten of them. The upper limit will not exceed thirty.”

“Ten to thirty ox-headed monsters” All Apostle felt bitter in their mouths. According to Old Dwarf’s description, not to mention thirty ox-headed monsters, even if there were only ten ox-headed monsters, they were still much stronger than the Ratman Tribe they had encountered before.

Rats are timid and cowardly. Once they lose, they will run away. The Ox-Head Monster obviously wouldn’t. This was a Berserker with a bloodthirsty and berserk temper. He would never turn back unless he touched the south wall. The so-called Ox-Head Monster was referring to this kind of monster.

“However, you don’t have to worry too much. The Ox-Head Monster isn’t without weaknesses!” Seeing the ugly faces of Qin Lun and the others, Jillim consoled and smiled. “According to our race’s historical records, ox-headed monsters are rare creatures with an extremely strong sense of honor in the Abyss Plane. When the difference in numbers and size is not too great, they usually fight to the death and do not call their companions!”

Hearing this good news, Qin Lun and the others’ eyes finally lit up. If that was the case, they could give this battle a try. It would be much easier to cut off a portion of the bullshit before the Ox-Heads noticed the crisis.

“Jillim, what should we do?” Qin Lun asked humbly.

“Pick someone with enough ability and split into three teams to enter the maze of the Ox-Head Monster.” “Their labyrinth is both a nest and a hunting ground,” Old Dwarf muttered. “The traps and terrain of the labyrinth are enough to trap the prey inside, and then the adult ox-headed monsters come alone to harvest.

At this time, it will also be our best chance to kill it. With our size, three people are not enough for an adult ox-headed monster to call for companions. “Once half of the adult ox-heads are eliminated, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled will be easier to deal with.”

“Three against one ox-headed monster?” Qin Lun and Wei Si thought about it in their hearts and discovered that the exploration team could only form four three-man teams.

Apart from Jillim, there were also a few mid-and high-ranking experts among the dwarves. They could probably form two teams. Apostle were unlucky. The black-robed mages’ combat strength was basically crippled. If Hill and Rand didn’t use their trump cards, their combat strength wouldn’t be much left.

Although the female priests and thieves were useful, each team only had three spots. If they were given one, the other two would be under a lot of pressure, so they could only serve as backup teams outside the labyrinth.

Only Qin Lun, Wei Si, and Shield Guard Newton were left. Adding Easten, Mastasia, and Idrea, they could only form two teams.

Everyone combined their battle prowess. Wei Si, Shield Guard Newton, and Mastasia formed a team. This way, they would have meat shields and long-range attacks. On Qin Lun’s side, Elizabeth was the meat shield. If the elven druid turned into a giant bear, its defense would be very high. Moreover, there was Cyberlus, the Hellfire Devil Dog.

After making the decision, the exploration team began to return to the original cavern. They planned to rest and adjust, then split into four directions and enter the maze at the same time.

“Ferrari, these days with you are really wonderful!” Squatting in front of the campfire, Mastasia’s expression was unpredictable as she smiled. “I didn’t expect that I would see the legendary ox-head monster one day. When I get back, my companions from the Harpsichord Alliance will definitely not believe me!”

“Master, I’m also very happy to be able to walk with you!” Qin Lun smiled and raised his glass to the Highland Elves. Even though the dwarves were adventuring in the dark, they did not forget to bring their liquor.

“And me and Idrya!” Elizabeth waved her pink fist at the two of them, pretending to be dissatisfied. Her face under the campfire became even more charming, causing Qin Lun to be slightly absent-minded. Judging from her appearance, no one would have imagined that this elven beauty would sometimes become such a violent creature as a giant bear.

After resting for twelve whole hours, Qin Lun and the others finally regrouped in front of the maze after confirming that their bodies and minds had recovered to their peak condition.

“Take care!” The four teams cherished each other and entered the maze through different entrances. While the others, Dwarves and Apostle, were guarding the entrance. If the situation was unfavorable, they would immediately enter the maze and rescue the three-man squad in distress.

If things went smoothly, then after eliminating one or two batches of Ox-Heads, they would all enter. At that time, it would be the final battle.
