Upon entering the Ironhide Boar's territory, Tang Shidao's group was immediately discovered by the herd of Ironhide Boars. These savage beasts only reacted instinctively. In their eyes, all creatures that were not food were enemies. They would never negotiate with intruders. They would charge at them brainlessly. After a few roars, more Ironhide Boars received the message and rushed toward Tang Shidao's group.
Everyone was full of confidence. They carefully dodged and rushed forward at full speed.
It had to be said.
The extremely expensive Aura was a disgusting luxury spell for all mages. Once a teammate had it, it was a great thing. Teaming up with a mage with an Aura felt great. Even a slow Shield Warrior like Lei Shi could easily pass through the Ironhide Boars' encirclement with the help of the Aura of Agility. Green-eyed Fox and Meimo were as agile as fish. They did not even need to push away. They could dodge all the Ironhide Boars' attacks.
The group continued to run without stopping.
Occasionally.
The Rock Eaters and Lei Shi only needed to sweep their shields at the approaching Ironhide Boars. The rest of the time, they ran easily. Even if they encountered a large herd of Ironhide Boars blocking their way, they only needed to circle around a few times to distract these brainless savage beasts. Then, they could easily slip through the encirclement.
In less than half a day, Tang Shidao's group had already crossed more than half of the territory.
Now that they were closer to their destination, they did not relax.
Anything could happen during a mage mission. There were many people who only failed when they completed 99% of the mission. According to some rumors, there were examples of mages who failed even after completing the mission. Although they did not know the reason, in short, before completing the mission and returning to the library, the people who completed the mission would not relax.
"Wait a minute, there's a situation." Everyone was running. Tang Shidao suddenly called everyone to stop.
At this moment.
The herd of Ironhide Boars no longer chased after them. Instead, they were like an army that followed orders. They slowly gathered and expanded, forming a large encirclement that blocked their retreat. Almost at the same time, a fishy wind blew in the air in front of them. Unknowingly, a group of beasts that cut off the horizon appeared in front of them.
There were Wind Wolves, Wild Bulls, Giant Dogs, and Savage Bears in the group.
Together with the herd of Ironhide Boars behind them, they formed a circular encirclement.
At this moment.
A flock of giant black vultures flew across the sky and landed on top of a nearby giant stone pillar. They looked like a group of nobles who were watching a circus. Following them were other birds, all of which were vicious birds with sharp beaks and claws. The weakest among them was the beautiful macaw. It did not have a playful look in its eyes, but it had a faint light of wisdom.
"No wonder no one has been able to complete this quest. It turns out that there are eyes in the sky watching us." Meimo took out her Flame Staff and prepared for a great battle.
When the others saw this scene, they would have lived in vain if they still did not understand.
It was organized.
He had a plan.
There was a trap.
The savage beasts and ferocious birds had long reached a tacit understanding. They were bent on killing anyone who entered the Copper Spirit Continent. It was very likely that the ferocious birds did not want anything to leave the bronze dragon's resting place. They didn't have high intelligence to judge what the Bronze Dragon wanted to do. They only instinctively thought that all creatures that helped the Bronze Dragon had to be killed to prevent any changes.
At this moment.
The green-eyed fox looked hesitant. After thinking about it, she also took out her best daggers and prepared to fight with her friends. As a fox person, she had an innate fear of the ferocious birds. But when it came to this, she could not back down. She had to stand on the same side as her friends.
The Rock Eater and Thunder Shi were ready with their sword and shield. They had no intention of backing down.
The quest ended here.
They should have admitted defeat and retreated.
But.
As mages, they were provoked and schemed against by a group of magical beasts. Everyone felt uncomfortable. As the captain, Tang Shidao did not call for retreat. How could they admit defeat? No matter how strong the magical beasts were, they could not be compared to mages. Cultivation, learning, passing on knowledge, these were things that magical beasts could not learn. Unless they formed an intelligent social group, magical beasts were not much different from wild beasts.
"Green-eyed fox, take the things and leave first." Tang Shidao handed the bronze dragon's heart to the green-eyed fox.
The green-eyed fox was puzzled.
Tang Shidao said again, "Rock Eater, Thunder Shi, Meimo, you guys escort the green-eyed fox to break through. If necessary, stall the magical beasts and prevent them from catching up to the green-eyed fox. I will stay and stall them. Don't worry, I am not looking for death. As a mage, I do not need to die together with a group of magical beasts. I will try my best to hold on. Once you succeed in breaking through, our quest will be considered complete. "
Meimo opened her mouth but did not say anything in the end.
She knew it was very dangerous now.
Retreating and giving up the quest was the safest way. However, if one person continued to move forward and the other four helped to stall for time, they might be able to complete this most difficult quest. Among the five, the green-eyed fox had the lowest combat power. But he had the most alchemy puppets and the fastest speed. He was also smart, so the possibility of sending the bronze dragon's heart to the destination was the highest.
At this moment, in the big library.
The 'audience' who was watching the development of the situation also secretly praised: Well done!
For now.
Splitting up was indeed the most likely way to complete the quest.
"Captain, will the magical beasts obediently surround you? If they wholeheartedly pursue the green-eyed fox, it will be very difficult for us to break through. "Lei Shi was a stone man, but he was not brainless.
"They will. Based on their instincts, they will definitely eliminate the most threatening person first. For example, like this … "Tang Shidao cast a tiger-man transformation spell.
In an instant.
His whole body turned into the appearance of a tiger's head and a human's body. He was much more majestic than the average werewolf. Tang Shidao cast out two returning circular blades, one ice and one fire, which were the most advantageous weapons for the tiger-man transformation. At the same time, Tang Shidao cast the spell that consumed the most energy among all the spells he had learned: Scourge Locust Swarm!
The spell changed light.
In just a second, countless hungry locusts appeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, they formed a dark cloud that covered the sky and covered the entire wasteland.
The magical beasts on the wasteland roared contemptuously.
They were not afraid of these harmless little insects at all.
Especially the Iron Wild Boar. Even if they were drowned by locusts, their hardened skin, which had been strengthened by magic, would not suffer the slightest bit of damage. No matter how many locusts there were, they could ignore them. They could move forward like a giant shark breaking through the waves.
High up in the sky.
On the giant stone pillars, the ferocious birds were enraged … These little insects dared to flap their wings and fly into the sky?
The sky was their territory!
The ferocious birds flew high, and a flap of their wings could set off a fierce wind. Their sharp claws and beaks were all weapons that could tear apart steel.
However.
It was useless!
The locusts summoned by the Scourge Locust Swarm spell were very weak, but their numbers were indescribably large. Even if the ferocious birds could peck ten times per second, the number of locusts killed or injured would not be too many. The Wind Wolves and Iron Wild Boars crazily attacked, but only a few locusts could be killed. Under the cover of the Scourge Locust Swarm, the ferocious beasts and ferocious birds were like fish in water.
After all, magical beasts were not mages.
If it was Meimo who dealt with these locusts, a Flame Water Ring could burn countless of them to death. However, magical beasts could not. They only had fangs and claws. The energy of the Magic Spring made them strong, but it would not give them a spell out of thin air. No matter how strong they were, spells could only be obtained from knowledge.
Perhaps it was because of Tang Shidao that these annoying bugs came from.
The Giant Black Vulture in the lead instructed the ferocious beasts to surround and kill Tang Shidao as soon as possible. As the masters of the sky, the Black Vultures had the first priority. This was not cooperation. The most powerful magical beasts in the sky ordered the magical beasts on the ground to follow their instructions.
They flapped their wings and pushed away the locusts.
The Black Vultures also immediately chased after Tang Shidao and the other four people.
However.
When the locusts scattered, what was reflected in the eyes of the Black Vulture leader was: a ring-shaped blade!
With an ice-cold breath.
The flying blade of the ring-shaped blade cut the right wing of the Black Vulture leader and instantly transmitted a cold energy, slowing its flying movements. When it flapped its wings to disperse the cold energy, a majestic Tigerman flashed behind it and grabbed the ring-shaped blade that was bounced away. He slashed with both hands, and the two ring-shaped blades crossed and cut off the neck of the Black Vulture leader.
Another Black Vulture next to it angrily pecked, and Tang Shidao flashed into the distance again.
Using the 'Flash' spell to kill the Black Vulture leader by surprise, Tang Shidao had achieved his goal of beheading the leader. Facing the advantage of the magical beasts in the sky, Tang Shidao, who did not know how to fly, did not want to engage in an aerial battle with them.
The moment they lost the Black Vulture leader, the ferocious birds all stopped in shock, not knowing how to react.
The remaining Giant Black Vultures screamed loudly again.
As if.
They wanted to use the loudest screams to distinguish between the strong and the weak, and the one with the strongest screams would be the leader.
The magical beasts on the ground were also very confused.
At this time, they did not realize that the four of them, Green-eyed Fox, Thunder Stone, Stone Eater and Meimo, had disappeared. As the locusts surged and scattered, the four of them quietly disappeared from the sight of the beasts. At this moment when the Black Vulture leader was killed, the magical beasts lost their command and did not care about them for a while.
The chaos did not last long.
When the new leader of the Black Vulture with the strongest screams was confirmed, it lowered its head and looked at the 'Tigerman' on the ground again. It found that there were more than a hundred headless Wind Wolves and Giant Dogs lying beside the Tigerman. A small number of Savage Bears also fell to the ground with their heads cut off, spraying blood all over the ground.
The merciless slaughter had already begun.
"Caw!" A sharp screech shook the air, and the new leader ordered the beasts to surround them.
At this time.
The swarm of locusts once again surged like a wave, drowning the place where Tang Shidao was. When the beasts attacked and dispersed the swarm of locusts, Tang Shidao was already long gone.
The new leader saw this and was furious.
Turning its head, its extraordinary spiritual sense discovered that … Green-eyed Fox and the others were carefully using the insects to escape, quickly leaving the encirclement of the beasts.
It was about to scream to signal.
A black shadow suddenly attacked.
Seeing this, the new leader of the Black Vulture did not panic. It flapped its wings and met the claws. It was not afraid of anyone at all in a head-on fight.
The vulture's claws tore … a fierce wolf was instantly torn apart.
The new leader of the Black Vulture was wondering why a wolf would fly into the sky. While it was bewildered, an owl near it instantly turned into a Tigerman and slashed its twin blades at lightning speed again.
It changed again and again.
The new leader of the Black Vulture still had the ability to react.
Unfortunately, Tang Shidao did not give it the chance. The moment it approached, the 'Dragon's Coercion' spell was activated in advance, which happened to slow down its reaction. The twin blades crisscrossed. The neck of the Black Vulture, which had no scales and no hard armor, was as brittle as a stalk of grass. It was broken in one hit.
The new leader of the Black Vulture kicked its head. Tang Shidao landed on the ground again with 'Light as a Feather'.
Before landing.
Tang Shidao once again cast the Calamity Locust Swarm, causing the number of locusts in the entire wasteland to increase. Tang Shidao did not expect these little insects to be able to bite a savage beast to death. He only hoped that they could seriously hinder the movements of the beasts and block their vision.
The Flash spell required 10 points of magic power. Tang Shidao could not cast it too many times in a short period of time.
At present, it was already very fortunate that he had beheaded it twice.
"The Earth Quakes and Mountains Shake." In order to let his teammates escape safely, Tang Shidao cast Earthquake again, causing an earthquake to cause the formation of the beasts on the ground to scatter.
At the same time.
Tang Shidao's crow caught up with Green-eyed Fox and said, "Green-eyed Fox, I'm counting on you. I killed the leader of the giant Black Vulture. It did not feel like a real overlord of the sky. There are more dangerous opponents in this mission. I hope you can deliver the heart safely. I feel that the Bronze Dragon has its own plans. "
Green-eyed Fox and the others nodded and fled with all their might.
"Wonderful!"
The mages of the Great Library praised. Under such circumstances, Tang Shidao could still kill two leaders in a row. It had to be said that they could not have done better with the same strength.
At this time, the mages were even more interested.
