Frederica is proficient in blessing magic and has a talent for shooting that is exceptional even among her clan members. She is most suitable for long-range containment among the trees outside the clearing.
Zhang Mu and Avril, on the other hand, focused on outputting firepower, trying to kill the Thunder Wolf leader with magic as quickly as possible.
They are swift, yet slight.
Especially Wager, this guy walks with his feet high and heavy, and they land silently. This must be the talent of the elves.
The three of them slowly approached the center of the open space in a V-shape. When they were about fifty meters away, the Thunder Wolf leader's ears trembled.
This action seemed to be the clarion call to start the battle. Wager gave up stealth, swung his sword, and rushed towards the Thunder Wolf leader at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Apprentice knight skill - charge.
Avril and Zhang Mu threw out ice cones at the same time to attract the attention of the Thunder Wolf Leader who had already jumped up, hoping that Wager's sword could cause enough damage.
After all, they were third-level monsters. The Thunder Wolf leader did not panic at all. He moved his limbs to the side to avoid the attacks of the three people, but there were more than three of them.
"Whoosh-"
The moment it jumped up, the arrow shrouded in red light predicted its landing point, piercing the darkness like a meteor.
"Woo..." The arrow hit its left forelimb accurately.
With rich practical experience, the Thunder Wolf's skull is hard and arrows may not be able to penetrate it. The best option is to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken its mobility.
Zhang Mu exclaimed in his heart, glanced at the tree where Frederica was hiding, raised his staff, and ten red fireballs, about one meter apart, hit the Thunder Wolf leader in a row.
Although it lacks a leg, it still has strong agility compared to humans, and can dodge fireballs by jumping on three legs.
However, Zhang Mu had expected this. It was not like he had not seen three-legged cats and three-legged dogs jumping around happily, let alone the magical beasts belonging to the "supernatural side".
The fireballs were intended to be connected in a chain, but the first three missed.
Zhang Mu had already gathered enough information from its three jumping and dodging movements.
The Thunder Wolf leader half-crouched, ready to jump to avoid the fourth fireball.
Before he jumped up, the ice cone appeared, and he reminded Avril: "Wag's left wing forced it to move right, senior sister, twenty yards to the right."
She had already thrust her ice spike out when she was halfway through her sentence.
After reacting, Zhang Mu shot out an ice cone and muttered in his heart that he was worthy of being a talented magician of the new generation who was invincible in his own country and neighboring countries.
During the battle, Wager didn't care that he was being commanded by humans.
With his keen insight, he determined the landing point of the ice cone behind him, went around to the right and forced it to exert force again in the air and fall towards the landing point.
"Whoosh-"
It was another predicted red arrow, with an extremely fast speed. It was fired later but arrived first, piercing through the right forelimb of the Thunder Wolf leader who had fallen to the ground.
Afterwards, five ice spikes stabbed at it one after another, completely crippling its two front limbs.
Lying on the mud, it screamed a few times, whimpered, and tried to get up twice without success. It simply gave up and raised its head: "Woo——"
The high-pitched howl of wolves echoed throughout the clearing.
"Not good! It's calling its tribe, quick battle!" Avril exclaimed, waving her staff, "Ice and snow, freeze!"
When the chanting ended, a spear made of ice and snow rushed out with a whistling sound—primary magic, ice spear technique.
A magic with extremely strong penetrating power, but relatively slow speed, generally used to attack enemies who have lost their ability to move.
There was a tall tree at the edge of the clearing. Frederica stood firmly on the thin branch at the top of the tree and glanced at Avril. Is she a genius among humans?
"With the assistance of five bytes, he can release magic that is one level higher than his own level. He is a very powerful human."
He pulled out a fine iron arrow from the quiver on his back, bent his bow and put the arrow on it, and chanted, "Arrow, sharpen it."
The primary blessing magic - Sharpness, can increase the sharpness of weapons that rely on sharp blades to kill, and also comes with a certain amount of magical damage.
"Whoosh-"
Arrows and spears approached the Thunder Wolf leader who was crawling on the ground and unable to move.
Zhang Mu looked at the two terrifying magic attacks and grinned. Since there were outsiders around, he couldn't release his white fireball.
But after these two attacks, the battle will probably be over.
So he casually threw a few red fireballs as a token of his appreciation.
Wager obviously thought so too. In order to avoid being affected, he retreated frantically before the magic and arrows arrived.
The Thunder Wolf Leader, who was only a third-level leader, obviously would not give up hope of survival easily. He opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a calf alive, and there were roars of thunder and flashes of lightning inside.
The next second, several silver-white electric chains as thick as arms attacked the three people in the open space and were in front of them almost in the blink of an eye.
"careful!"
Zhang Mu stood in front of Avril and planned to counterattack with a white fireball.
"Don't." Avril reminded softly, waving her staff. An ice shield appeared in front of her, blocking the incoming electric chain.
Frederica was far away and out of the attack range, while Wager was the closest and a little troublesome. Fortunately, he was strong and he managed to dodge by jumping left and right.
This attack basically emptied the Thunder Wolf Leader's magic reserves. Coupled with the sneak attack and the continuous magic bombardment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and his huge head fell to the ground.
The rise and fall of the abdomen gradually slowed down, and it seemed that more air was coming in than exhaling.
The four of them didn't waste any time. Only when their leader killed the monster tide would they disperse. They used arrows, magic, and swords to attack them all.
Soon, the Thunder Wolf leader stopped moving.
Zhang Mu and Avril had exhausted all their magic power and were breathing heavily as they walked to the corpse.
In the distance, Frederica also jumped down from the tree and walked over. Wager sheathed his sword and said, "With the death of the leader, the monster tide will soon dissipate automatically. Your Highness, we..."
"Something is wrong." Zhang Mu's muttering interrupted him, and the three of them looked over together.
"What's wrong?"
He stared at the belly of the corpse lying on its side, where there were six double-breasted buttons. It was a female wolf.
Zhang Mu naturally wouldn't care about a mere female wolf, but the sheer number of magical beasts was beyond common sense, and the weak performance of this thunder wolf in battle.
Even though it was one of the weaker third-tier monsters, and his men had crippled one of its legs with a sneak attack, it shouldn't have had just this much combat power.
"Will there be another one?"
"Ignorant..." Wager pulled the corner of his mouth, "There will only be one leader of the Warcraft Tide."
"And the tribesmen it called for haven't appeared yet, which means the Thunder Wolves have sensed the death of their leader and have migrated to other areas of the forest."
Avril was a little displeased with his tone and was about to speak.
"Woo--" An eardrum-shattering wolf howl came from the forest behind them. They subconsciously turned around and saw a thunder wolf that was a circle larger than the corpse jumping out of the woods.
It is not calling for its tribesmen, but for its own man!
With a couple as the leaders, no wonder there are so many monsters gathered here. Empiricism is deadly!
Although none of them were injured in the previous battle, they were all seriously exhausted, with only Frederica being slightly better.
But she alone could not be a match for the Thunder Wolf in front of her, whose magic fluctuations were clearly at the peak of the third level.
"Split up and run!"
Zhang Mu grabbed Avril's hand and rushed into the woods beside the clearing. Wager and Frederica also reacted quickly and fled in the opposite direction of the two.
The real Thunder Wolf leader's fur had a faint electric glow flowing through it, and it would make crackling sounds from time to time.
Looking at the four people running away, it did not chase them immediately. Instead, it sniffed the corpses first, perhaps to make sure that its wife was gone.
He opened his mouth and started to tear the corpse into pieces, and in a few minutes he had eaten his wife.
Looking up and around, it howled. The pack of thunder wolves in the forest immediately responded with howls and surrounded the elf.
It moved its limbs and chased after Zhang Mu and Avril at lightning speed.
Chapter 45 Potter's Treasure
In the forest filled with morning light, Zhang Mu and Avril ran desperately.
The Thunder Wolf leader, who had just finished eating his wife in the open space, quickly caught up with her and closed the distance several times.
The two could only make sharp turns from time to time to barely avoid being kissed on the butt by the ferocious fangs.
As for why they fled instead of stopping to fight head-on...
They originally had this idea, but when Zhang Mu's pure white fireball hit the silver-white fur of the Thunder Wolf leader that was flashing with lightning, it only caused a slight charring, so they gave up.
"Grass!"
The Thunder Wolf leader pushed the ground with his hind legs to speed up, opened his bloody mouth towards Zhang Mu's butt, but before he bit him, a bloody wind came first.
"Crack--" Avril raised the ice shield in time to block the attack for a few seconds, and took the opportunity to turn right 90 degrees and increase the distance again.
Stepping on the bushes, leaves and branches flew quickly over his shoulders and head, Zhang Mu frowned.
I can't keep running away like this. We have been chased until dawn and this thunder wolf is not slowing down at all. I have to think of a way, otherwise my senior and I will be exhausted first.
"Senior." Zhang Mu suggested as he ran, "Let's run separately."
"Why?" Avril raised his staff and knocked away the thick branch in front of his face. She didn't look over, but looked at the road ahead and asked in confusion.
Of course I'll find a place and use my resurrection function to kill it.
I definitely can't say this to her.
Zhang Mu was so anxious that he kept scratching his head: "Trust me, I will be fine."
"I never doubted you, it's just..."
"Woo——"
The Thunder Wolf leader hanging behind suddenly howled to the sky for some unknown reason, and then his whole body was filled with electric light, and his speed increased dramatically.
Zhang Mu subconsciously looked back and saw the Thunder Wolf leader stepping lightly between the branches to gain leverage, leaping forward like a flash of lightning, jumping left and right in the air.
"You have a big move but you're just using it now. You've been chasing me for so long, are you kidding me?"
He couldn't get rid of the other party to begin with, and now he has no way to escape.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Mu prepared to let Avril escape first. He led the Thunder Wolf to another place and tried to fight a war of attrition.
"Junior, it seems to be about to advance!"
