A massive Ironhide Bull that was over six meters in length charged out of the mist before crashing head-on into a boomerang.
"Thump!"
A muffled thump erupted as the boomerang was sent flying back at an even faster speed. The Ironhide Bull was only slowed down slightly, but it was still charging toward Chiwil at an extremely fast speed.
Five massive icicles converged into a line before descending from the sky toward the Ironhide Bull's head.
The Ironhide Bull raised its head and let loose a roar before whipping its massive horns to shatter the icicles with ease. However, its speed was also slowed down slightly as a result, and it changed its target from Chiwil to Evan. It could sense an even more detestable aura from this guy, so it turned to charge toward him instead.
"Look out!" Chiwil let loose a faint cry as he lashed out with his whip, which latched onto the bull's horns. He then coiled the whip around a large tree, and the whip only lasted for a short while before snapping in half. The Ironhide Bull was slowed down slightly, but it was even more enraged, and its eyes also became bloodshot.
Meanwhile, the other Ironhide Bull was being lured by Dennis and Scott toward the traps that Sam and the others had set up.
"Let's run in the opposite direction and let them take care of the other one first!" Chiwil immediately made a decision as he hurled his boomerang toward the other direction. Evan nodded before tossing out a few more icicles. Even though they couldn't inflict any substantial damage to the Ironhide Bull, they were still able to disrupt it slightly, and it also began to run in the opposite direction as Chiwil.
However, after breaking through Evan's spell, the Ironhide Bull immediately stopped in its tracks. It looked at Evan and Chiwil, then at the other Ironhide Bull that was about to disappear into the mist. It hesitated momentarily before accelerating in pursuit of the Ironhide Bull.
Chiwil's expression changed drastically as he turned around and chased after the Ironhide Bull. "Crap! That guy isn't falling for my trap! It's most likely a pair with that Ironhide Bull. If that's the case, Sam and the others are in danger!"
Evan also turned around and dashed into the mist. He took a shortcut towards the trap. Because of Meg, he had become a suspect in the group. Now, he had to fix this. Otherwise, he could no longer stay in the Rose Mercenary Group.
"Father, did you hear that? There seems to be a lot of commotion over there, "Amy said as she pointed to the right. Ugly Duckling also pricked up its ears.
"Ci —"
Meg pressed down hard on the ground with the insecticide in his hand. He watched as a large poisonous scorpion turned over while foaming at its mouth. He nodded in satisfaction and looked in that direction. He tilted his head and listened attentively.
There was indeed quite a lot of commotion coming from that direction. It seemed that some kind of large animal was running. The ground was trembling slightly, and they could also hear some shouts. It was most likely a mercenary group that was hunting.
"I think I heard Uncle Ox-Head's voice." Amy's eyes lit up.
"Let's go take a look. It sounds like they're in trouble." Meg picked up Amy and held the bottle of insecticide in his hand as he quickly made his way toward that direction.
He had bought the insecticide from the system. It was an enhanced version of the insecticide that could insta-kill all poisonous insects and creatures. It was one of the best items for traveling in the wilderness, and most importantly, it was completely harmless. Only the system could come up with something like this.
Furthermore, Meg had also obtained a north compass. The magnetic field of the Norland Continent was completely different from that of Earth. As for how the north compass system had come up with this, Meg didn't ask. After all, it was already very angry that he had refused to purchase a satellite from it.
…
The simultaneous appearance of two bronze-skinned bison had completely ruined the Rose Mercenary Squad's plan. It was far beyond their ability to deal with. In the Illusionary Mist Valley, where it was difficult to find shelter, this was practically a disaster.
Dennis and the others quickly sensed the other bronze-skinned bison behind them. The one behind them hadn't reached its limit yet. If there was another one, Sam's trap wouldn't be able to stop it. The most likely scenario was that they wouldn't be able to catch either of the two.
Of course, the key now was not how to catch the two bronze-skinned bison, but how to let the Rose Mercenary Squad escape unscathed while paying the lowest price.
"They're here!" When Sam heard the sound, he signaled for Skol to quickly climb out of the hole. A three meter deep and five meter long hole had already appeared in front of them. It was just that they had arrived earlier than they had expected. Otherwise, they would have dug a six meter deep hole. That way, they would have been able to complete today's mission.
However, there wasn't enough time now, so he could only lay down the branches and grass that he had prepared earlier on on top of the trap, simply hiding it as a grassland. With the thick fog as a cover, he should be able to fool the bronze-skinned bison.
"Sam, take Eva and get out of here! There are two of them! We can't beat them! " Dennis roared as he sidestepped the oncoming bronze-skinned bison. He then smashed his massive mace viciously into the bison's head, causing it to veer off course and charge straight toward the pit.
"Two of them! Crap! " Sam's expression changed upon hearing this. He grabbed onto Eva's hand and rushed up the hill. One bronze-skinned bison was enough to deal with; two of them were simply too much for them to handle.
Eva's face had also paled slightly. After all, she had been roaming the wilderness with the Rose Mercenary Squad for over a year, so she was well aware of just how powerful magic beasts were. She was well aware of just how powerful two 4th-tier magic beasts were.
However, it was clearly too late for them to retreat now. The first bronze-skinned bison charged directly toward them, only to fall into the pit that was around three meters deep. However, the pit was only slightly higher than its body, and the soil on the walls was crumbling as it struggled, as if it were going to jump out at any moment.
What was even worse was that the other bronze-skinned bison was completely ignoring Chiwil and the others' attacks as it charged directly toward Sam and the others.
"Run up the hill!" Sam pushed Eva up the hill before arching his body backward like a drawn bow. He hurled his pitchfork toward the bronze-skinned bison, and at the same time, he drew the hatchet hanging from his waist and charged toward the bronze-skinned bison. Skol also charged down the hill without any hesitation.
The pitchfork struck the bronze-skinned bison's head with unerring accuracy, but it was only able to leave a small wound on its head. Sam and Skol were then sent flying by the bronze-skinned bison's horns before crashing to the ground and throwing up mouthfuls of blood at the same time.
After being pushed by Sam, Eva only managed to run a few steps before her legs went soft and she fell to the ground. She looked back at Sam and Skol who were sent flying, as well as the ferocious Bronze-Skinned Bison that was charging towards her. She screamed and closed her eyes.
"No!" Chiwil yelled, and all of the other mercenaries also wore sympathetic expressions.
"Don't be scared, Eva, I'm here!" Right at this moment, a voice sounded, and Evan flew out from behind the hill before landing in front of Eva. He pushed his hands forward, and a thick wall of ice appeared before him, upon which dazzling ice crystals blossomed.
Bam!
A muffled thump erupted as the bronze-skinned bison crashed viciously into the wall of ice. It was as if it had crashed into a thick stone wall, and it came to an abrupt halt. Its horns left a pair of indentations on the wall of ice, but it was unable to shatter it.
"Master Evan! You saved me! You're so awesome! " Eva opened her eyes with incredulity as she stared at Evan's back. Her eyes were filled with elation and reverence.
"He blocked it!" Chiwil and the others were elated, but at the same time, they were also a little taken aback. They didn't think that Evan would be able to unleash his spell at such a critical juncture.
"I'm glad you're alright. This is what I should do." Evan smiled as he propped himself up against the wall of ice, but his eyes were filled with unease. He could also sense just how sturdy and sturdy this wall of ice was. Could it be that he had already progressed to the 4th-tier in this dire situation?
