"Alright then, Mr Felic, please be careful. If anything goes wrong, you … you can find a place to hide first …" To be honest, Jason really did not want to make such an arrangement if he could. It was obvious that this fella was a burden, and whoever provoked him would be in trouble. However, he could not let him die. There was no other way. He still had to collect the remaining 200,000 gold coins from this fella. If anything happened to him, who could he ask for the money from?
If it was under normal circumstances, it would not be a big deal. After all, they were three level-15 powerhouses, and it would not be a big deal to have a burden. However, the situation tonight was really bad. They had provoked an Ice Howler out of nowhere. Just thinking about it gave Jason a headache. That was a level-17 magical beast. Normally, they would avoid it, but now, they had to fight it with a burden …
"Alright, I got it," Lin Li nodded. Lin Li nodded, and returned to the tent to pack up his things. Since the Ice Howler had appeared, this place would definitely be lost. He had brought a bunch of scrolls, recipes, and maps with him this time. It would not be fun if he were to cause any damage to the place …
After doing all this, Lin Li returned to the campfire. At this time, the roars of the Ice Howler were getting closer, and the dense forest was shivering. The violent tremors came from afar, and groups of startled beasts were scurrying away. Even lions and tigers had no choice but to flee when faced with the fury of a level-17 magical beast.
Jason held the Rune Golden Sword with both hands. His eyes were fixed on the depths of the forest. Weathor had already smeared poison on his dagger. His short body was curled up in the darkness. Rotiya began to recite her prayers. The voice of the blonde beauty was clear and melodious. When it echoed in the night sky of the Dragon Mountains, it was like a moving piece of music. Under the cover of this solemn and sacred aura, the Rune's Adamantine Sword in Jason's hand shone even more brightly.
Compared to these three outstanding Adventurers, the performance of the employer was much more embarrassing. The three Adventurers had been in battle mode for a long time. This fella only took out his magic staff slowly and started to recite a spell slowly. Then, he spent about 20 seconds reciting the spell. Finally, he released a spell that no one knew what it was …
"To hell with you …" Feeling the faint magical wave, Jason felt a headache coming on. Meeting such an employer was probably the most unlucky thing in his life as an Adventurer. You spent 20 seconds reciting a spell that was like scratching an itch. I'm afraid that even a scroll would be more useful than you.
Alright, alright, I'll just treat it as the one who paid me. Anyway, if you were really an Archmage or a Legendary-mage, you wouldn't have spent money to hire someone to protect you. But a boss should at least act like one, right? You clearly don't have any abilities, but you still insist on stepping forward recklessly. Damn it, that's a level-17 Ice Howler. My lord, what are you, a lousy mage, doing here? Do you really think it's a herbivore just because it has four hooves?
"Liars, you liars!" Just as Jason was having a headache, a cry came from the edge of the forest.
"What's going on?" Lin Li was stunned. When he looked towards the edge of the forest, he saw a group of about 20 to 30 Adventurers scrambling out of the forest. As they ran, they looked back in panic, as if they were afraid that the Ice Howler would suddenly grow wings and fly behind them.
Following closely behind the group of Adventurers was a young girl of about 18 or 19 years old. Her long flaxen hair was blown by the wind, and her elegant dress was torn by the branches. She held the hem of her dress with her hands and stumbled behind the group of Adventurers.
"You … You said that there's no problem with any magical beast. You lied to me!"
The 20 to 30 Adventurers lost their temper after being scolded. The thin-skinned ones even tried to explain, but it sounded like the Ice Howler was too powerful, and they couldn't beat it. The thin-skinned ones just rubbed their noses and continued running, pretending not to hear anything. Only a middle-aged Adventurer in his 40s sighed and stopped in his tracks. "Miss Yvonne, you'd better run quickly. This Ice Howler is too powerful, we can't beat it …"
"You said …"
"Please, my dear Missy, there's no problem with any magical beast. This is just a publicity tactic. Every team of Adventurers would say the same thing. Do you really think we can beat a level-17 magical beast? If we were really that powerful, we would have been invited by your father as VIPs long ago. Why would we have to risk our lives in the Dragon Mountains … "
"Then what about my brother?"
"Your brother, he …" Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, another furious roar came from the forest. That deafening roar entered his ears, causing the middle-aged man's expression to change. "Run!"
Following that, a white mist spread out like a plague. In an instant, a bone-piercing chill swept across. That feeling was like falling into an icehouse on a cold winter's day.
Fortunately, the middle-aged Adventurer reacted quickly. Almost at the same time as the two of them started running, the white fog engulfed a large part of the forest. The cold air swept through and instantly froze dozens of trees into ice sculptures. The Ice Howler, which was covered in white fur from head to toe, made its grand entrance among the sparkling ice sculptures. It was at least 10 meters tall, and its body was like a small hill. Even among magical beasts, it was definitely a real behemoth. The two long horns on its ferocious head were like two bayonets, smashing everything in front of it into pieces.
"Be careful!" Jason tightened his grip on the rune's adamantine sword, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he stared at the white behemoth. Even though Jason was now one of the most outstanding Adventurers in Doland, he still did not have the slightest bit of confidence when facing a terrifying existence like the Ice Howler …
The enraged Ice Howler was like a bolt of white lightning. It instantly caught up with the two Adventurers at the back, and with a flick of its bayonet-like horns, cries of agony could be heard. Bright red blood splattered all over the ground, and it looked extremely menacing. Stimulated by the smell of blood, the Ice Howler seemed to have gone berserk. Bone-chilling fog poured out continuously, and its two horns wreaked havoc among the Adventurers …
In just a few moments, another two adventurers had fallen.
"Goddammit, stop it!" Among the panicking Adventurers, a young man who looked to be in his twenties shouted at the top of his lungs. He should be the leader of this group of Adventurers. Under his command, the remaining 20 to 30 Adventurers finally organized a counterattack or two.
However, the difference in strength had already determined that this was not a battle on the same level. Among the team of nearly 30 Adventurers, the strongest was only level-13 or 14, and the weakest was not even level-10. Their attacks were no different from tickling a level-17 magical beast. The Archers pulled their bowstrings with all their might, and arrows flew out one after another. However, they could not even penetrate the Ice Howler's fur. Needless to say, the Warriors and Bandits did not even dare to go up to it. The Ice Howler was like a huge meat grinder that could grind any creature that dared to come close to it into pieces in an instant. A mere dozen Adventurers would probably be no match for it.
Although the three mages were reciting spells with all their might, their levels were too low, and the magic they cast was like a joke to the Ice Howler. Its natural magic resistance made it immune to most spells below level-5. Only an Archmage-level attack could pose a real threat to it.
Jason frowned, and tightened his grip on the Rune's Adamantine Sword in his hand. Everyone knew the current situation. If there was no help, this team of more than 20 Adventurers would all perish here.
"Do it!"
Jason had no choice but to do this. The three of them were too weak, and it was almost impossible for them to fight against the Ice Howler. If they wanted to survive this battle, they had no choice but to cooperate with this team of Adventurers who had dragged them into this trap. Although these fellows were detestable, now was not the time to settle scores. Before that, they had to get rid of this terrifying magical beast first …
As soon as Jason's voice fell, Wei Se was already holding two daggers and quietly sneaking into the darkness. Rotiya quickly chanted a prayer, casting one body strengthening spell after another. The incomparably powerful divine power was frantically surging like boiling water. Jason tightly grasped the rune adamantine sword in his hand, and a raging aura rose up like a raging flame.
At the same time, Lin Li had completed his second spell. After he was done, Lin Li patted the dust off his robe, and called Norfeller over. "Norfeller, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, Master." The high-ranking Vampire nodded, and with a tug of his long black cloak, he turned into a cloud of black mist.
With the addition of Jason and the rest, the one-sided battle immediately changed. The strength of a level-15 Warrior was indeed extraordinary, especially when there was a high-ranking Priest standing behind him. This strength was brought into full play. After Jason joined the battle, he almost single-handedly fought against the Ice Howler.
