The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth
Chapter 276 Encountering A New Humanoid Specie
Burning torches attached to walls radiated into the dark area. Four humanoid creatures could be seen tied with chains; They had a paw-print pattern on their armor. A boy could be seen circling them with his right hand resting on his chin. He used his inspect skill on them and found some information about them.
The first thing he found was their species; they were called Gnolls. They were a humanoid species known for their ferocious personalities; they were monsters that would fight without any reason. He also found out that there were different types of gnolls.
[TYPE: Trapper
About: These are the gnolls that are neither physically strong nor fast; they use their knowledge and set traps using magic.]
[TYPE: Betta
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbout: These are Gnolls that are physically strong; they make up the majority but are pretty average in their capabilities.]
[TYPE: Thief
About: These are the ones that have short height and fast speed; they learn concealment skills and steal from others.]
"So there could be other types of gnolls too; despite being the lowest in the food chain, these guys are not bad. I want to know more about them; This dungeon could be tougher than what we might have predicted." He looked at the four Gnolls shooting at each other; they were fighting even in this situation.
Rishi shook his head and said, "Let's not waste any more time; Which one should I start from?" He said this as he looked at the four gnolls before deciding; He pointed at the gnoll trapper and said, "You will be the first one." The trapper's body was raised in the air, and his body was dragged in front of Rishi.
He put his hand on the head of the creature; White energy was released from his hands and entered the creature's head. His purple eyes started oozing white light before they became white. He closed his eyes; The trapper cried as his body shook and his eyes became completely white.
Rishi searched through the memories of the creature and found its life. He saw the place where the gnomes lived; it was a large village with multiple square huts with a flag with a paw print on them. He saw the lifestyle of these creatures; he looked at the small Gnoll that was made fun of by other gnolls.
He was smaller than average; He was disappointed but never gave up. He tried to become a Gnoll Thief but was rejected by them due to his low moment speed; He gritted his teeth and was about to give up when he heard that some gnolls had a hidden talent. They were able to use magic; they were called shamans.
He trained hard and studied, but eventually the day came when he was to be tested. He gave the test and passed it; he joined the Gnoll Magic School, but he soon found out that he was not as talented as other shamans. He was broken this time and didn't know what to do when he found out that if he worked hard, he could become a trapper.
He gave it his all and finally became a trapper; he became famous soon, and he met some friends, and they formed a team. They hunted many creatures and became one of the best-performing teams.
He also discovered that untalented gnolls work in mine, and very precious crystals are found in this dungeon. They could be used to create mana crystals, and they also mined precious ore. His eyes lit up as he learned about it; The last thing he found was that the high-level Gnolls used Moa, a wingless giant bird, as a mount. These birds were very swift and also had sharp claws and beaks.
He opened his eyes and looked at the stupid-looking creature before him. He had lived a tragic life, and when he finally became successful, he met Rishi. 'Fate is cruel,' sighed Rishi.
He then searched through the other three's memories and found some interesting things. He found that the leader of a group of ten to fifty Betas is called Brute; This type of Gnoll was larger than Beta and stronger than them; they were six feet tall. Each brute had his own Moa bird as a mount; These birds were giant wingless Birds.
Above Brute were Alphas; they led about one hundred to two hundred Betas. They were seven feet tall and had a well-built, muscular body. They wore good-quality armor and had a black-colored mane; they had black-feathered Moa that was stronger and faster than the normal red-feathered ones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlphas were true elites who had fought many wars; Every Gnoll admired them.
From the thief-type Gnoll, he discovered that there were better Gnolls in this category, called Scouts. They invaded the enemy's backlines and gathered information. They had gey-feathered Moa as mounts that were smaller but very swift; To be a scout, one has to be a master of concealment.
This information widened Rishi's horizons; a B- difficulty dungeon was no joke after all. Despite being a species that lacked discipline, they were quite structured. He also found out that there was a forest that had multiple beasts. Other species frequently visited the Gnoll territory; A small gate would appear that connected their dungeon with other dungeons.
They had fought multiple battles and traded with other species using their precious crystals and ore. This new information shocked Rishi; he believed the dungeons were peaceful, but now he knew things were not that simple.
Everyone tried their best to survive; no one was wrong or right here. You become a hunter if you are stronger and prey if you are weaker; If humans could kill other creatures weaker than them, they should also not complain when stronger monsters kill humans.
He got a new perspective; the more dungeons he raided, the more he understood that no one was good or evil. When he read the histories of the Gnolls, he understood that their lives were not much different from humans'; everyone had to compete and survive in their society.
The strong people were admired and respected everywhere, while the weak were despised; Equality was a myth. Society rewarded excellence; the academy divided students based on talent was no different. The government, friends, and society were all the same; they supported you until you were successful. These were the first to cut ties with you when facing difficulties.
He looked at the four dumb-looking Gnolls with a complicated expression on his face; his expression suddenly became serious. He moved his hand over them. A dark flame released from his hand, and the bodies of the four creatures dissipated.
