"A wizard who doesn't use his brain to fight is not as useful as a shield defender!"

Merlin had forgotten which wizard had said it, but it made perfect sense.

The black wolf is not a terrible animal, the ordinary black wolf is just the strength of a quasi-knight, and the leader of the wolf pack should be at least equivalent to the strength of a knight.

This kind of strength is not terrible for Merlin, what is terrible is their number. Merlin would indeed be able to kill them if there was a suitable terrain, but the sheer amount of gore could attract some of the deeper Witch Mountains that it couldn't handle, and that's when the real disaster happened. So Merlin had no intention of annihilating the wolves in the first place.

"Jump!"

Seeing that it was not far from the location of the cave observed by the night falcon, Merlin shouted, and the person had jumped off the back of the Morondo goat at the same time, and the old man Lincoln's reaction was not slow, and he jumped down almost at the same time, but after all, he was old, and he stumbled a few steps, and finally did not fall.

"Over there, I'll catch up with you!" Merlin pointed in the direction, Lincoln was an old hunter, and even in the bushes, he wouldn't run in the wrong direction.

"Be careful, sir. Lincoln was not polite, he knew that Merlin had the means to catch up with him, and if he really wanted to stay, he would either be abandoned or become a drag.

Seeing Lincoln's figure gradually being obscured by the trees, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, the night falcon was naturally still in the sky to observe the surrounding situation, the phantom pine cat stood on her shoulder, and the celestial phantom snake poked out of the snake's head from the skin pouch around her waist...... The outlier in this snake has no eyesight. It's a pity that these three pets are not known for their combat effectiveness, which makes Merlin feel a little fly in the ointment.

The two Morondo goats suddenly lightened their bodies and immediately accelerated and galloped. With less weight, they seemed to run faster, but Merlin did not underestimate the cunning of those black wolves, and dozens of black wolves actually pounced in the direction of Merlin's escape in time, obviously they did not want to let go of any of their prey.

Instead of chasing after Lincoln, Merlin ran into the spur, seeing nearly a hundred black wolves chasing after her. She stopped abruptly and threw out the potion test tube in her hand.

There was a soft 'pop' sound, and the test tube burst. A white mist quickly formed and spread, and just as the black wolves rushed into the fog area, Merlin took out the newly made wizard's cane, and a row of acid balls whistled out. Sprinkled with acid rain. Covered six or seven black wolves.

Snort~

A white mist with a strong odor suddenly rose, and those black wolves shrouded in acid suddenly let out a terrible wail, and their bodies quickly disappeared under the corrosion of acid...... Whether it was breaking into the white fog or the black wolves outside the white fog, they all stopped in horror, they didn't know what kind of horror was happening in front of them. In a few moments, a large crater had eroded into the ground, and only the hardest things like claw tips and teeth remained, as well as a few black hairs that had not been completely eroded.

Although the wizard's staff still had a chance to be launched, Merlin didn't hesitate. After blessing himself with the Wind Technique, he quickly retreated. After running for a while, she took out the hidden potion and spilled some of it, then quickly changed direction and ran towards the cave.

Although Lincoln was old, he was still very fast, and when Merlin caught up with him, Lincoln was already running to the cave, and when he saw Merlin coming, Lincoln's old man was very relieved,

"There's a cave up ahead, let's go and hide there. Merlene took Lincoln around a large pile of bushes and found the cave, which was only one meter seven or eight high, and it was not for the sharp eyes of the night falcon that it was difficult to find such a place.

The howl of wolves could be heard in the distance, and Merlin quickly checked that the cave was safe, then entered the cave with Lincoln, and then used the mage's hand to move some rocks and bush branches to block the entrance.

The next day and night were arguably the most difficult time, and although the black wolves did not find them, they stayed in the vicinity, forcing Merlin and Lincoln to hide in the cave, and only venture out when it was convenient.

When the night falcon found out that the surrounding black wolves had completely evacuated, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a full meal, they continued on the road, perhaps because of the wolf crossing, not to mention the fierce beasts along the way, not even a rabbit was seen, and the whole forest showed a dead silence.

"It's too quiet, isn't it?" Mlene muttered softly, and the Morondo goats didn't know where to run, and the two of them could only walk now...... Of course, she could summon the Balker lizard to take her place, but she didn't want to use this hole card easily, even if Lincoln couldn't pose a threat to her, she didn't want to expose it so easily.

"It's normal, as long as there are wolves, at least for a day and a half, they don't have to worry about a fierce beast attack, they all dodge......" Lincoln's expression was quite relaxed.

At this time, in the grass about a hundred meters in front of Mei Lin and the others, a black shadow lurked silently.

"A wizard apprentice, at most level three, and a hunter, physical fitness is already declining. The strongest attack is the wizard apprentice, as long as you kill her, the rest of the old man has nothing to worry about. The shadow quickly made a judgment.

After confirming that the wolves had left, Merlin did relax a lot, but even though she knew that most of the animals around her had avoided them, she didn't completely relax...... If the Phantom Pine Cat and the Celestial Phantom Snake were out there, the Shadow might be able to recognize the two animals, but for now...... Hehe.

"This is the time!"

When Mei Lin was less than ten meters away from the ambush point, the black shadow that had been lurking quietly floated out, and the whole person flew towards Mei Lin like a psychedelic shadow.

When the dark shadow was determined to assassinate Merlin, Merlin received an alert from the Phantom Pine Cat, and then the Celestial Phantom Serpent confirmed the location of the ambusher.

When the ambusher attacked, a look of surprise appeared on Mei Lin's face, only to see a black-clothed figure holding a sharp blade in his hand and stabbing directly at him, the cold light reflected by the blade made Mei Lin's heart startled, and the indifferent eyes full of murderous intent made Mei Lin's heart tighten.

The Assassin looked at the look of surprise on Merlin's face, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he felt even more excited, he enjoyed the struggle of his prey in a near-death state.

However, his face soon changed, and just as his dagger was already approaching Merlin, a mocking smile appeared on his delicate face, and a wizard's staff appeared in his hand. (To be continued.) )
