"Oh yes, by the way." After passing the map to Lin Li, the old man casually said, "I heard that there are some unfriendly animals in this forest. You guys just have to be careful when you get there. There won't be any trouble. Alright … You guys can go in after you take the map."
"…" The expressions on the faces of the three froze at the same time.
Even the Serenity Mark Cheetah was just a kitten in the old man's eyes. If even he used the word 'unfriendly' to describe these little animals, one could imagine how dangerous this forest was.
"Mr … Mr Macklin, aren't you going in with us?" Mason swallowed his saliva and looked at Macklin anxiously.
"No, no …" The old man's eyes widened, and his goatee twitched. The gloating smile on his face made Mason feel extremely guilty. "I'm already so old, and you're really shameless. You actually want this bag of old bones to accompany you …"
"…"
Mason really wanted to bang his head against the wall. When he blasted open the door with Arcane Missile, and when he used the Levitation Spell to slowly fly up the Nightmare Mountains, why didn't this old bastard think about his age? Now that he had to enter the forest, he was reminded of his age …
"Hurry up, hurry up. You only have one afternoon. If you can't bring me that thing before the sky turns dark, heh heh …"
How about it? Macklin didn't say anything, but his threatening tone scared Mason so much that he felt a chill run down his spine. For a moment, Mason's intestines turned green with regret. Why did he sleep in? Now that he had angered this old god of plague, the three of them were going to suffer.
Under Macklin's urging, the three of them entered the forest while trembling with fear.
"F * ck!" Lin Li could not help but curse the moment he took out the map.
Could the old bastard outside the forest be Gerian's brother?
Looking at the messy things drawn on the map, the lines were crooked like earthworms dragging on the ground, and the red dots made of ink were scattered everywhere, looking no different from a pockmarked face. And in the middle of the pile of red dots, there was a cross that looked like a cripple, with the left side short and the right side high. Lin Li looked left and right for a long time before he understood what the old fellow had drawn …
"Abstract …" Lin Li sighed. He rolled up the map and threw it into his pocket. No one could understand it anyway. Apart from taking up space, it did not have much use.
"Felic, aren't you going to look at the map?" Mason could not help but feel puzzled when he saw Lin Li putting the map away.
"This map …"
Just as Lin Li was about to reprimand Macklin, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the woods.
"Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pack of Three-eyed Blood Wolves leaped out from the bushes. Their eyes were bloodshot and their bodies reeked of blood. Compared to the wolves they had encountered on the road, this pack of Three-eyed Blood Wolves was obviously much more ferocious. This was especially so for an old wolf with gray fur. The third eye on its forehead was unusually red, like a drop of crimson blood.
"I think we might be in trouble …" Mason swallowed his saliva again. Looking at the Three-eyed Blood Wolves that kept coming out from the bushes, he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Of course," Lin Li and Orrin said almost at the same time.
Even the lowest level adventurers knew that the level of a Three-eyed Blood Wolf was determined by its three eyes and fur color. The lighter the fur color, the redder the three eyes, and the higher the level. For example, this fellow with grayish-white fur and three crimson eyes was a hundred percent the king of the wolf pack!
Looking at the dense pack of wolves behind it, there were at least 40 to 50 of them from afar. In addition, there was a wolf king that was at least level-12. This could no longer be described as trouble.
"Howl!"
The wolf king's long howl broke the silence of the forest. The dense pack of wolves surged out from the bushes. In an instant, the surroundings were filled with spots of red light and the stench of blood. The shrill howls of the wolves reverberated in the ears of the three of them. The large number of Three-eyed Blood Wolves looked like flowing blood in the empty forest. In an instant, more than 10 wolves with bright red fur surged in front of the three of them.
"Kill them!"
Lin Li gripped his Winter Staff tightly, and cast a Hastening Spell on himself. As he retreated, he shot out two Wind Blades at the same time. Orrin and Mason, who were standing on either side of him, moved almost at the same time. Each of them propped up a Frost Armor, and recited spells at an extremely fast speed …
Among the three of them, Lin Li was the latest to come into contact with magic. However, he was the most experienced in battling magical beasts. In the few months in the Sunset Mountains, he had killed countless magical beasts.
Now that they had encountered a pack of wolves, his reaction was the fastest. He cast the Hastening Spell on himself, followed by two instantaneous spells. This was the same method that Mason used to deal with the Fantama Panther, but the effect was completely different.
The tactics of mages were undoubtedly the most flexible among all the professions.
Facing different opponents, the choices they made were naturally different.
The Fantama Panther had magical resistance, and was naturally proficient in Dark Magic. Using such a kiting tactic was simply courting death. A single Dark Magic could shoot the kite down from the sky.
However, it was another matter for a large group of Three-eyed Blood Wolves.
Their natural levels were too low. Even under the leadership of the wolf king, it was impossible for them to go against a Magic Shooter. Instantaneous low-level magic could still take their lives. Most importantly, the Three-eyed Blood Wolves did not have any talent in magic. This was the most important thing. Lin Li did not have to worry about being shot down by magic while he was kiting them.
On top of that, there was still Mason and Orrin.
Although the two of them did not have much experience in battling magical beasts, they were, after all, a level-nine mage and a level-eleven Magic Shooter. With enough time to recite their spells, the magic that they released could also bring about a devastating blow to the pack of wolves.
Just as Lin Li's two Wind Blades landed on the pack of wolves and triggered a series of shrill howls, the two of them had completed their recitation of their spells. Orrin raised his magic staff, and the charging pack of wolves shook. Then, a huge stone spear emerged from the ground.
After all, the stone spear was just a stone spear. It was not sharp enough to deal with the sprinting Blood Wolves.
This stone spear had emerged from the ground, but the direct casualties it caused were only one or two Blood Wolves.
However, the true meaning of this spell was not to cause direct casualties.
This feeling was like throwing a dead rat in the middle of a busy city. It could not kill, but it could disgust you to death. With such a huge stone spear standing there, how would the Three-eyed Blood Wolves, with their three eyes, bump into it foolishly? The pack of wolves scrambled to avoid the spear, causing the flowing blood to ripple in an instant.
That was a real riot. Even the howls of the Wolf King could not calm them down.
What was worse was that Orrin chose this moment to unleash his magic.
This was simply a disaster.
The red light on Orrin's magic staff surged, and the surroundings were filled with violent fire magical elements. The temperature at that moment was so high that even the air seemed to be boiling. Countless sparks appeared, and the dark clearing in the forest was as bright as day. Then, there was a loud "boom", and the boiling air seemed to explode in an instant …
It was only a small spark, but under the spread of that spark, the entire clearing in the forest was instantly turned into a sea of fire. The speed at which the fire spread was faster than the plague. It felt like the ground was covered with gasoline, and a small spark could ignite the earth.
To the chaotic pack of wolves, this Fiery Meteor was like the end of the world. They were surrounded by their own kind, and had no place to hide or escape. They could only watch as the flames spread to their bodies.
In the sea of fire, screams were heard one after another. One by one, the Blood Wolves were buried in the sea of fire. Amidst the billowing black smoke, even the air seemed to carry a burnt smell.
This Fiery Meteor had reaped the lives of nearly 20 Blood Wolves.
"He's simply a butcher …" Mason, who was wearing his Ice Armor, did not forget to criticize Orrin as he retreated into the thicket. He had never thought that the reason why Orrin's magic could cause such a terrifying number of casualties was because of his Earth Spike Spell.
"Howl —!"
Just as the three of them calmed down a little, another wolf howl was heard.
Then, they saw a wave of leaves moving in the surrounding forest, and more Three-eyed Blood Wolves surged out from the forest …
"F * ck!" Lin Li could not help but curse. Just now, the three of them had only killed over 20 wolves. Looking at the ones that appeared now — there were at least a hundred of them — how were they going to continue? After killing over a hundred of them, the Wolf King would roar again, and another 200 to 300 would come out. Not to mention biting, they would be exhausted to death …
