While many wizards try to improve their physical fitness and melee skills as much as possible, in most cases, a wizard is close to the Assassins, and the death rate is as high as 90 percent...... Of course, this is the general rule, and you can't use an Assassin Apprentice and a Level 4 Wizard as an example.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Merlin's chest, the ice and snow in her hand sighed silently...... As soon as the oppressive aerosol was unrestrained, those cold foaming agents immediately turned into tiny blisters in the air, completely enveloping the five-meter range in front of Merlin. At the same time, unbound water-type energy erupted from the sapphire with a playful smile, turning tiny bubbles into extremely cold ice chips.

The fine particles of ice can completely rob the human body of its temperature in a very short time, not to mention that the opponent is only an assassin who is not physically strong, even if he is a powerful high-ranking knight, he cannot resist the powerful freezing force of the ice and snow sigh at such a close distance.

The unlucky black shadow only saw the bright blue light in his eyes and instantly enveloped himself, and in the blink of an eye, there was a tingling cold all over his body, and he lost consciousness in only an instant, turned into an ice sculpture, and the breath of life on his body quickly disappeared.

Click!

The ice sculpture fell to the ground and was immediately torn apart, but it was so strange that there was not a trace of blood flowing out, and the scene was extremely bloody and tragic.

Merlin found no valuable clues in the Assassins, but that didn't reassure her in the slightest...... The first time you encountered an ambush, it can be said that after all, there are good and bad among adventurers, and it is an occasional event. But this time, Merlin couldn't conclude that her character was so bad. Unexpectedly, all the contingencies have been encountered by themselves.

"Lincoln, we're going to have to pick things up. Merlin had a bad feeling that someone would catch up.

……

In a small valley in the Witch Soul Mountains. Several figures sat in the middle, seemingly in a meeting, one of them a pale-haired wizard, who was none other than the head of the House of Barberta.

It had been a while since he entered the Witch Spirit Mountain Range, his expression was a little gloomy, his eyes swept around the faces of several people in front of him, and he was the first to speak to break the silence.

"I just received the news that the search team sent out yesterday. One man has disappeared, an Assassin. Barberta's hoarse voice sounded slowly in the room.

"Grandpa. Maybe he's been attacked by a ferocious beast?"

A young wizard apprentice said that it was normal for a beast to die in the Witch Soul Mountains.

Listen to him, he is none other than Kico, the grandson of Barberta.

"If you are attacked by a fierce beast. That should leave some traces. But...... The mercenary who went to meet him, after searching the area that the assassin was in charge of, did not find the slightest trace of battle, the corpse had become fragments, and there were obvious water stains around it, although there were traces of wild beasts around, but judging from the situation of the corpse, it seemed that no wild beast would tear a person into such irregular pieces. I think. He must have been attacked by someone else, those vanishing traces of battle. I'm afraid that the man did it. Shaking his head, Barberta said lightly.

"You don't suspect that it was that person, right?" Hearing this, Ji Ke was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and said, "That assassin is very powerful, he has assassinated wizard apprentices more than once, how can he be killed by a junior apprentice?"

"Whether it's him or not, I'll send some mercenaries to that area tomorrow to search cautiously. Barberta said in a deep voice, he was as cautious as a poisonous snake by nature, and he would not let go of any small loopholes. If it was really that person who did it, it means that they have caught up with the target.

"Yes, Grandpa. Kiko nodded nonchalantly.

……

Hiding in the jungle, a mercenary cautiously lurked behind the bushes, drew his bow and arrows, and aimed them at the old hunter who was bending down to refuel the campfire. According to the information given by the employer, there should be two people, an old hunter and a witch apprentice, and now the witch apprentice doesn't know where to go, which is a good opportunity to cut off his wings.

Bang!

A feathered arrow was shot at the old hunter's vest.

After adding a handful of wood to the campfire, Lincoln sat a little farther away, took out a roll of parchment, and sketched on it...... When he felt a pain in his vest, the intense pain came like a tsunami, and he couldn't help but scream...... One is because of the pain, and the other is to report the news for Merlin.

When the two of them walked to this place, they found that there was a small piece of wolf poison flower of quite good quality growing in the small valley in front of them, and this wolf poison flower was worth ten magic stones alone, and it was very useful.

Lincoln had no problem packing up his prey, but it was hard for him to get those flowers and plants. So Merlin went in and left Lincoln to wait outside while she prepared some lunch, but neither of them could have imagined that this would happen.

By the time Merlin heard the screams, Lincoln was no longer alive, and he shoved a piece of parchment into Merlene's hand, then reached out and pointed to the middle of the jungle.

Bang!

Hearing a sound of breaking through the air, Merlin's figure flashed lightly, and an arrow shot through the air, piercing into the ground for an inch, and the tail of the arrow still trembled endlessly.

"Lincoln, you rest, I'll go and avenge you!"

Merlin put away the parchment, turned and rushed towards the jungle, adding the Wind Surge to herself, and her body carried a string of afterimages.

When an arrow missed, the mercenary finally calmed down, thinking about who he was going to deal with, and when he saw Mei Lin rushing in his direction, the mercenary instantly exploded, took out a signal flare and was about to pull it.

'Gah!'

A loud chirp suddenly sounded in the air, and suddenly a shadow fell as a cover.

The mercenary subconsciously looked up, only to see an eagle-like bird rushing down, and the iron beak pecked at his wrist, so painful that he couldn't help screaming, and the flare fell off his hand.

Seeing that the night falcon showed signs of pounce again, the mercenary resolutely fled...... Then at this time, a sharp wind-breaking force suddenly came from the side.

The power carried by the strength made this mercenary whose strength was in the beginner knight's heart sink, and the soles of his feet kicked on the ground, and his body retreated sharply.

With a soft click, a cluster of bushes was cut off, and in the midst of the foliage, the experienced mercenary did not show too much surprise, his body continued to retreat sharply, and his sharp gaze continued to scan around him.

However, just as Mei Lin's figure appeared again in the corner of the mercenary's eyes, an energy blade flashing with cold light suddenly appeared in front of the mercenary.

Burst!

Blood splattered, and the mercenaries were suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Hunting, let's start now!"

Merlin kicked the mercenary's corpse and looked into the depths of the jungle with a faint gaze. (To be continued.) )
