Chapter 222 223. Hunting dire wolves

Two elf hunters squatted next to a wind fox, using daggers to peel off the wind fox's leather. This kind of leather with affinity for the wind element is very popular among elf archers, and the price is also the most expensive among many first-level monsters. of.

Many elf hunters may not be able to hunt a cunning wind fox all year long, but this time they were lucky enough to kill one.

The sudden feeling of happiness made them so excited that they forgot about the dangers around them.

Little did he know that there was a dire wolf hiding in the grass a hundred meters away.

This dire wolf was covered with hair as hard as steel needles. Its huge body lay among the grass, overwhelming a large area of ​​grass.

Its four paws were curled up under its body, and a pair of dark red eyes stared ahead through the gaps in the grass. In fact, it couldn't see the two elf hunters, but its presence could be felt by the smell wafting from the front.

The hair on the body of the dire wolf is as hard as steel needles, and the leather is also high-quality leather for making hard leather armor. Moreover, this kind of monster is cruel by nature. In the jungle, it is almost the pinnacle among the second-level monsters. In fact, it is even stronger in terms of strength and speed. It is more powerful than some third-level monsters, and some adult dire wolves can often be seen promoted to third-level monsters.

However, they are still defined by the elves as second-level monsters, mainly because their control over magic is only at the level of second-level monsters.

The magical abilities possessed by dire wolves only make opponents fearful and unable to concentrate on fighting. Their main means of attack are sharp teeth and claws.

Just as the two elf hunters were skinning the wind fox, the dire wolf hiding in the grass suddenly jumped forward. Its huge body jumped more than ten meters. The distance of 100 meters was too much for this adult dire wolf. It only lasts about five seconds.

By the time the elf hunters noticed a gust of fishy wind blowing in front of them, the dire wolf had already opened its bloody mouth and held the upper body of an elf hunter in its mouth.

The astonishing bite force directly bit the elf hunter's body into pieces...

Another elf hunter was so frightened that he quickly ran away into the forest, but although he ran very fast, his speed was much slower than the adult dire wolf.

Full of despair, the elf hunter let out a horrified cry that could be heard far away in the forest...

…

The jungle is full of the smell of decay. When you step on the ground covered with moss and rotten leaves, no one knows that there will be a mud pit or hard soil underneath...

Some tree roots are covered with various mushrooms, and the smell is mixed with resin. When you inhale it into your lungs, you will feel a little sweet in your throat.

Roy stepped on the wet moss and almost slipped.

The jungle full of vines and weeds was not easy to walk through. Many of the vines had sharp thorns. Roy followed Instructor Gru. They had been walking in this jungle for most of the day. No shadow of the wolf was seen.

Roy wore thick hard leather armor, which protected all parts of his body very well, but now the muscles of his thighs were constantly trembling due to extreme fatigue.

After driving away a gadfly that was circling around him, the scorching sun was isolated from the woods. The forest was steaming with steam, like a huge steamer.

Sweat had completely soaked the shirt and underwear underneath. Roy felt that his body was full of the sour smell of sweat, and he had to keep drinking water to keep his body hydrated, which was very uncomfortable.

Roy fantasized about having a glass of ice-cold watermelon juice. He drank it in one gulp and felt chilled all over...

Feeling itchy all over his body, he pulled open his cuffs and found some red rashes on his arms. Roy knew that something was wrong with his body due to overheating.

He is about to reach the limit of his physical strength, and it is obvious that the adventure group will not stop moving forward at this time.

Roy hesitated for a moment and then decisively used 'Holy Glimmer'.

A ball of divine shimmering light appeared around Roy's shoulders. Under the shimmering light, a little bit of weak healing power relieved many of Roy's physical discomforts.

Roy then drew another divine pattern, and as the prayer ended, the 'Blessing of Strength' blessed Roy's body.

Immediately afterwards, Roy activated the physical recovery on the magic pattern structure, the three magic patterns of Wind Elegance and Dire Bear Power, and his body suddenly felt full of strength.

The legs that were trembling were suddenly filled with strength.

Instructor Gru turned his head and glanced at Roy, probably feeling the magic power fluctuations on his body, but all the magic arrays were on the inside of the leather armor, so Instructor Gru didn't know that Roy had activated three magic patterns at once. Pattern array.

Together with the blessing of 'Blessing of Power', the power Roy now possesses has exceeded the limit of power that a trainee priest can have.

Roy continued to walk forward and stepped on it. The roots of the big tree seemed to have become ruins and were crushed by Roy with a pop.

The control that kind of power gave him gave Roy an inexplicable sense of security.

Under the absolute strength, his physical strength is also recovering rapidly.

Roy felt that he had suffered for most of the day, and it would have been better if he had used the power of the magic pattern construct earlier.

The red rashes on my body are also disappearing quickly. I have the magic pattern structure, but I don't know how to make full use of it. It's really stupid.

Roy followed behind Instructor Gru and felt that he was having a hard time walking in the jungle, so he also blessed him with a 'blessing of strength'.

Instructor Gru immediately felt a power pouring into his body. He heard Roy chanting a prayer softly. He looked back at Roy and knew that Roy had cast a magical spell.

"Roy, you actually do this?"

"I'm a trainee priest!" Roy chuckled.

"I feel much more comfortable..."

Instructor Gru moved his body and said to Roy, but before he finished speaking, he heard a roar from the jungle that made people's legs weak. There seemed to be a strange magic power in the roar, which would make the legs weak. People turn around and run away unconsciously.

Roy's legs felt weak and he couldn't help but stop.

"It's the roar of the dire wolf, let's follow..." Instructor Gru whispered to Roy.

Then he accelerated and ran forward.

Roy took the time to follow him and only saw the back of instructor Eleanor disappearing into the dense jungle.

Instructors Virgil and Instructor Gru were also chasing ahead. On the other side, Roy also saw Instructor Nora making gestures towards them, indicating that the two teams would outflank them from the left and right sides.

Magician Scarlett has already flown up on her magic harpoon, shuttling through the dense woods.

Instructor Nora was like a deer, constantly jumping in the forest, not slow at all.

Just leaving Sabrina and Miss Christine behind.

The two teams rushed towards the location where the dire wolf roared at the same time.

Instructor Eleanor ran at the front. When she was running at full speed, the trees, vines and weeds in the jungle seemed to have become her partners. Every step she took could reach a point of strength. Every time she stepped on it, she would become stronger. The rebounding force caused her running speed to surge.

After she passed through a dense forest, she saw an adult dire wolf with dark gray fur on a grassy slope with sparse trees.

The dire wolf jumped out from the grass and just stopped and bit the elf hunter who was about to hide in the dense forest. The dire wolf was caught alive in the dire wolf's mouth. The dire wolf shook its head suddenly, and the elf hunter's The body was broken into two sections, and flesh and blood flew everywhere...

The dire wolf, holding half of the elf hunter's body in its mouth, spotted Instructor Eleanor rushing out of the dense forest at a glance.

It threw its body towards Instructor Eleanor, and swatted at Instructor Eleanor with a claw that was thicker than an adult's thigh.

Instructor Eleanor turned around and rolled to the left, awkwardly avoiding the claws of the dire wolf.

The other instructors also chased him out of the dense forest and immediately dispersed in the jungle. They were like a net, forming an encirclement towards the dire wolf.

Instructor Gru jumped directly onto a big tree. Roy was not as good as him, so he had to climb up the trunk.

Instructor Gru stood on the horizontal branch of the tree trunk and glanced at the dire wolf in the distance, signaling Roy to stop. Then Instructor Gru jumped directly from the tree to another tree, and Roy could only run under the tree. .

Instructor Gru pointed towards the side of the dire wolf, indicating that he was going to go around to the side of the dire wolf. Roy could only run towards the tree.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Virgil also arrived in front of the dire wolf. Instructor Eleanor, who was forced back by the dire wolf, finally got a chance to breathe.

The three elves looked like a white rhinoceros standing in front of the adult dire wolf...

The dire wolf's bloody mouth opens wide enough to easily swallow an adult elf.

And its explosive power and speed are much more powerful than the always angry rhinoceros.

Roy was a little dumbfounded. Is this the strength of a second-level monster? Seeing Instructor Gru squatting on a tree branch, Roy was also ready to climb up the tree.

At the edge of the dense forest, the giant dire wolf with dark gray mane jumped and rushed directly in front of Instructor Nora, but Instructor Nora did not roll away like Instructor Eleanor.

His left hand actually held a shield, and he slapped the dire wolf's side face hard, smashing the dire wolf's bloody mouth open.

The half-section of the elf hunter's corpse in the dire wolf's mouth fell instantly.

At this time, it roared again.

Instructor Nora paused, and the dire wolf took the opportunity to grab Instructor Nora again.

Instructors Virgil and Eleanor rushed up from both sides...

The three elves, Instructor Gru, Scarlet Magician, and Miss Christine, shot almost simultaneously. Two identical arrows wrapped in wind elements shot through the dense forest from the left and right sides and hit the head of the dire wolf.

Scarlett Magician instantly fired an ice arrow, which exploded on the head of the dire wolf. The dire wolf was wrapped in countless ice shards.

Just as the ice fragments blocked the dire wolf's sight, two arrows also hit the dire wolf's head, but unfortunately failed to hit its eyes.

The dire wolf tried to pry off the arrow with its claws, but unfortunately the arrow had barbs and could not be easily pulled out.

Instructor Vergil took the opportunity to rush under the dire wolf's body, and stabbed the long sword in from the left side of the neck. Instructor Vergil's arm was also pricked by the hard mane under the neck, causing it to bleed.

A stream of blood spurted out from the wound, and the dire wolf howled and bit into Instructor Vergil.

Vergil rolled around on the grass several times, and the claws that were grabbing at Instructor Vergil were suddenly empty. The blood on the neck of the dire wolf continued to spurt out, but it opened its big mouth to bite Instructor Eleanor on the other side.

Instructor Eleanor didn't dare to get close and quickly backed away.

The arrows of Instructor Gru and Miss Christine kept hitting the dire wolf. However, the dire wolf had rough skin and thick flesh, so the arrows did not hit the vital parts of the dire wolf's body and could not pose much threat to the dire wolf.

An arrow was stuck in the dire wolf's eye socket, and the blood almost blinded the dire wolf's eyes.

The dire wolf finally noticed that Instructor Gru was squatting on the tree and was the biggest threat. At this moment, it looked towards Instructor Gru, but was hit by an ice gun.

The huge ice gun exploded on the dire wolf's body, and the diffuse ice mist enveloped the dire wolf.

The next second, the dire wolf burst out of the ice mist covered in ice fragments and rushed towards Instructor Gru.

Instructor Gru did not dodge, he opened his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the dire wolf's eyebrows and shot an arrow. The arrow was wrapped with a wisp of wind element, almost forming a white line in the air.

The dire wolf only felt a flash of white light, and the arrow was inserted into his forehead, and his head seemed to explode at this moment.

The dire wolf felt a stream of hot blood flowing out of its mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, and the scene in front of it became extremely blurry. With its last bit of consciousness, it stretched out a bow towards the archer squatting on the branch. Only paw.

Just as the claws stretched out, the dire wolf completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Instructor Gru's last 'penetrating arrow' directly penetrated the dire wolf's skull. This arrow dealt a fatal blow to the dire wolf.

Roy, who was squatting on a horizontal branch and holding a shield, felt his palms full of sweat.

This behemoth in front of him was really about to rush over, and Roy felt that he could only have one of his claws knocked away.

There was a sword wound under the dire wolf's neck. The blood from this wound almost dyed most of the dire wolf's body red. Instructor Nora chased after him with a long sword. When he saw the dire wolf lying on the ground, he quickly stepped forward. He kept cutting on its neck, but the mane here was very prickly, so Instructor Nora could only make small cuts.

The dire wolf was not completely dead at this moment, and its body was still twitching.

After the fur was cut, more blood flowed out, and instructor Nora cut it easier. The head of a dire wolf was like a rhinoceros head, and it fit just right in the No. 3 suitcase.

Instructor Eleanor also ran over to help. Her skinning skills are the best in the adventure group.

Instructors Virgil and Instructor Gru could only watch from the sidelines at this time.

When instructor Eleanor cut open the dire wolf's chest, it was still warm inside.

The skin of the dire wolf was so large that it would be impossible to fit it into even the largest box.

"I hope Captain Xindeji is willing to buy this wolf skin..." Instructor Eleanor muttered while peeling the skin.

Instructor Nora took out the magic core from the dire wolf's head. For such a big dire wolf, the magic core in the body was only as big as a baby's fist. It seemed impossible to obtain a complete magic crystal.

"Look around again, maybe you can find another one..." Instructor Nora ordered Instructor Eleanor.
