"it is good."
Avril put away the "compass" and held the staff tightly.
Soon, a silver-white thunder wolf rushed out of the bushes and pounced towards the two men with its ferocious fangs.
They spread out a few steps to the left and right. Zhang Mu raised his hand and pierced the Thunder Wolf's forehead with an ice spike. In just a moment, more than thirty Thunder Wolves had surrounded them.
"Break out from the right, the magic reaction here is the lowest."
Nodding to show that he understood, Zhang Mu concentrated all his attention, and his magic power poured into the crystal on the top of the staff like a flood.
Silently, ten pure white fireballs emerged and exploded in all directions under the control of mental power.
The fireball flew very fast, but the Thunder Wolves reacted quickly as well and jumped to the side.
Zhang Mu had anticipated this and withdrew his mental power. The fireballs that missed the target exploded with flashes of fire, illuminating the forest into daylight.
"Woo..."
More than twenty thunder wolves were blown away. Those that were close became completely motionless, while those that were further away mostly had broken legs and arms, lying on the ground wailing.
At the same time, the remaining dozen or so thunder wolves pounced.
Ignoring their attacks, Zhang Mu frantically practiced meditation to restore his magic power. He was not alone.
Avril raised her staff slightly, and fourteen ice cones took shape instantly, piercing out in a fan shape, accurately piercing the thunder wolf's head.
The Thunder Wolf leaped into the air, unable to change direction, and had no way to avoid it, screaming and falling to the ground.
The battle was resolved in a few seconds, and the two men did not relax at all. More than thirty thunder wolves rushed to the front dozens of meters, and the howling of wolves approaching could be heard in the distance.
"Here." Avril took out two bottles of blue potion that could quickly restore magic power from the wide sleeves of her robe, handed one to Zhang Mu, uncorked the other bottle, and swallowed it.
After taking the potion as well, Zhang Mu threw away the small round glass bottle of blurry transparency and waved his staff.
"Swoosh——" The sound of the arrow breaking through the air surprised the two people who were about to cast magic and stopped.
The leader of the charging thunder waves was nailed to the ground by an arrow.
"Sardari, Ellie, lead the wolves away and lead the tide of monsters away." The clear female voice, like being in the wilderness in early spring, gives people a leisurely and comfortable feeling.
It was dark on the right, with two green lights flashing. Thunder Wolf seemed to be under a spell that said "You must attack enemies with taunts first" and rushed towards the green lights frantically.
The light source moved deeper into the darkness, and the sound of the thunder wolves running and the approaching wolf howls slowly faded away.
"You two, my name is Frederica. I received a call for assistance from Kas Town and came here to offer whatever help I can."
Behind me, a man and a woman, the woman in front, walked closer and greeted.
Zhang Mu's attention was attracted by the woman, not by her beautiful face, but by her pointed ears.
Frederica held a pitch-black iron bow in her hand and wore a skirt armor that covered her from collarbone to knees. She was as tall as Avril, but much thinner, and the size of her mountain was also much smaller.
The emerald green hair behind her swayed slightly from side to side as she walked.
Fantasy species——elf?
After all, it was a fantasy species that Zhang Mu had never seen before. He wanted to take another look at the pair of white ear tips that were obviously not human.
"Hmph, human." The man next to her stepped forward to block her view and shouted in a low voice.
This action made Zhang Mu realize that his behavior was a bit impolite. He smiled apologetically: "Sorry, because I have never seen an elf before."
Then… he stared at the tip of the male elf’s ear.
As mentioned before, Zhang Mu was not interested in the figure and appearance of the female elf, but was curious about the pointed ears of the elves that he had only seen in movies, TV shows and comics.
He sees both of them the same.
You are not happy when you see women being rude, but I guess you are okay, right?
Everyone is male.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu's eyes became even more presumptuous.
The male elf's face changed. Before leaving the forest, he heard the elders remind him that even humans have dirty blood. They are not only greedy, but also have perverted habits.
The Great Elder did not lie to me!
He forced himself to stare for a while, but all kinds of images were flying around in his mind, and he couldn't hold it any longer and retreated behind Frederica.
Zhang Mu was stunned. You don't want me to look at her? Then I should look at her?
In order to avoid offending others, he turned slightly sideways and his gaze turned into a peripheral glance.
The male elf was very angry and stepped forward to stop them.
Zhang Mu was overjoyed. He couldn't see clearly with his peripheral vision, so he could only see you more clearly.
After a few seconds, the male elf retreated, and the next moment he found that Zhang Mu was glancing at Frederica again, and then he went forward!
Just like that, he was like a character in a movie Zhang Mu had seen - hey, I went in, hey, I came out again.
Jumping back and forth in front of and behind Frederica.
"Junior."
"Wage."
The farce came to a temporary end after they spoke up.
Wager was quite indignant and whispered to Frederica: "Your Highness, we shouldn't have come here, let alone come into close contact with humans.
Even their blood is turbid and dirty..."
"Shut up." Frederica still had that gentle, caring smile on her face, and her tone was soft and warm, but Wager was like a barking dog hit by a stick. He stepped back obediently and fell silent.
Avril was also reprimanding Zhang Mu here.
"Junior, elves rarely appear in human territory. They especially hate having their ears stared at by humans. Please don't be rude."
"I understand." Zhang Mu nodded sincerely, admitting his mistake, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
You idiot, did you really think I didn’t hear those contemptuous words about “human beings” just now?
Do you have the guts to come again?
See how much strength you have to jump there.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, my apprentice has never seen an elf, please understand."
“It’s okay.” Frederica’s curvy face seemed to always have a smile on it, “There’s no malice or filth in this gentleman’s eyes.
You two are here to deal with the monster tide, right?
Let’s not waste time and get going.”
Just as they wanted, the four of them set off immediately and went deep into the forest together.
With the help of Frederica's companions, the wolves were led away and there was no need to worry in the short term. The four of them chatted as they walked.
It was mainly Avril who communicated with her.
After chatting, I learned that the mayor used the sound transmission crystal of Kas Town to issue a mission to the Adventure Group Guild in Bala City.
Many adventure groups saw it, but they didn't accept it because they thought the reward was too low. In the end, only the four elf adventure groups that didn't care about the reward came.
"Ms. Avril, this wave of monsters is a little strange. They are clearly just Thunder Wolf leaders, but their number... is almost comparable to that of a fourth-level leader."
"Yes, I noticed that too. We have to be careful when hunting the leader later."
"Besides," Avril asked curiously, "Elves rarely leave the forest, and the Lake Kingdom is not that close to your territory. Why did you come here?"
"My tribesmen and I traveled the continent. A few days ago, we heard that a maze in Bala City was about to open, so we rushed here to try our luck."
"Will coming to Cass Town delay your business?"
"Please rest assured. The maze will still be open for some time. Kas Town is only a day's journey away from Bala City. We still have time to rush back."
The atmosphere of the conversation between a woman and a female elf was peaceful.
A man and a male elf who were a few steps behind remained silent.
The atmosphere was depressing and Wager felt as if he was being tickled by feathers.
It had been more than ten minutes since they set off, and Zhang Mu had been staring at the tip of his ear with a strange look.
As a result, various images appeared in Wager's mind one after another.
This disgusting bastard human, Wager's five fingers holding the bow made a "clacking" sound.
Perhaps she noticed something unusual behind her, Avril turned her head to look at Zhang Mu and said helplessly, "Junior."
"Oh, here we come."
Zhang Mu, who never held grudges overnight if he could get back at someone, felt that it was almost time, and happily took a few quick steps to walk side by side with Avril.
We continued further into the forest for another half an hour.
The lush forest suddenly disappeared, revealing a vast open space.
There were no leaves or branches blocking the moonlight, and it was pouring down.
The four of them hid behind a tree and watched.
In the middle of the clearing, the silver-white-fur thunder wolf leader, like a hill, lay on the ground with his head tucked into his stomach.
Chapter 44 One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers
Zhang Mu couldn't accurately judge the exact size of the Thunder Wolf Leader's body because he was lying in a coiled position.
But judging from the wolf's head which was bigger than him, it shouldn't be very small.
The good news is that the magic fluctuation of the Thunder Wolf Leader is only at the third level, and it is relatively low among the three levels.
If it is really the fourth level, there is no chance of winning even if you fight hard.
However, the highest level among the four of them was only an apprentice, equivalent to a second-level Warcraft, so they still had to launch an unethical sneak attack.
The four of them controlled the fluctuations of their mental power and began to act according to the plan they had discussed on the way here.
Wager is an elven warrior, much stronger than the other three. He is proficient in knight skills and is responsible for close-range combat.
Of course, although he practiced breathing techniques, he did not normally call himself a knight, and knightly skills were not exclusive to knights.
Common sense from Avril's classroom - all close-range non-magical combat skills are collectively referred to as "knight skills".
