Chapter 1 Hope may fall from the sky

Next Chapter

The moon was obscured by the influx of black clouds, and only a faint dark halo shone from behind the thick clouds.

In the middle of a quiet primeval forest, a black centipede, as huge as a mountain, was crawling slowly, and everywhere it went, trees staggered and broken, earth and gravel burst in all directions along its path, thousands of huge gastropods staggered and undulating to the ground, and the cracks in the earth spread staggered, crumbling in all directions like cracks in the ice......

In the northern part of the Irish continent, there is a forest of flesh and blood, known to the bard as the Forest of Darkness because of its dark and terrifying environment, and it is also a paradise for adventurers, with tens of thousands of adventurers and mercenaries haunting it every year.

The forest is full of all kinds of beasts and poisonous insects, but it is also full of gold, and most of the medicinal plants can be found here. If Lady Luck is willing to take a slight look at you, you might be able to make a windfall.

Most of the monsters are intelligent, but wolves are even more intelligent, and they know how to weigh the losses of each hunt better than ordinary beasts.

Stern sincerely hoped at the moment that the wolves who had been following the convoy weren't treating them as their own dinner.

This nervous teenager hails from a backward town on the border of the Odin Empire.

Three months ago, a teacher at the Royal Academy of Magic of Odin, who was passing through the town from Intraus, spotted Stern and left in a hurry after writing him a letter of recommendation and asking for a lot of details.

The small town that was not wealthy made up enough tuition for him, and then entrusted him to a team of pharmacists heading to Wangcheng.

After crossing the Sunset Mountains and the vast plains of Busomia into the forest, the ferocious demon wolves followed the convoy closely, and even gradually formed a hunting formation.

With a whistling in the gloomy forest, the wolves officially sounded the horn of the hunt.

The sharp wind blade didn't know how many branches it had cut, and finally slashed through the neck of a mercenary. The monster that stepped on the corpse from the forest made everyone's hearts feel a little cold, the same body as the ordinary demon wolf, but even taller, and the two heads split at the neck showed the identity of the other party.

Two-headed demon wolf! And it's not just one!

One of the evolutionary pathways of the demon wolf is through the division of the skull, which is a way that can be quickly powerful but does not have a high ceiling. Generally speaking, the level of two-headed demon wolves is about level three to five, and they are also one of the few magical beasts with spell talents. Generally speaking, this level of demonic beast does not haunt the outskirts of the forest.

The captain of the mercenary was a sixth-level professional powerhouse, which was rare in the barren Northland, and he had never heard of anyone who had ever seen a magical beast of this level on the periphery.

The other guards of the medicine merchant are also the elites selected by the Chamber of Commerce, and the two spellcasters in the team are not rookies, and spells are often the most lethal weapons on the battlefield.

But the tide of battle is always changing.

One of the magicians committed a big taboo.

The Caster Handbook has a rule that a mage should always leave a card for himself at all times.

He remembered it when the black shadow that rushed out of the forest bit his neck, but he never had the chance to practice it again.

But everyone's attention was not on this hapless magician, they all looked at the behemoth in the center of the battlefield in horror at the moment, it was taller than all the demon wolves present, it proudly raised its head biting the corpse of the magician, and the other two heads let out an earth-shattering roar!

The other party actually has three heads!

The leader of the mercenaries looked at the three-headed demon wolf who was obviously the wolf king with a pale face, and his heart was dripping blood.

No matter where it is, a magician is a very money-burning profession, and one of the two spellcasters he managed to recruit with great difficulty actually died like this!

The fear brought by the high-level demonic beasts clinged to everyone's body like a shadow, and they couldn't figure out how a hegemon-level monster like the three-headed demon wolf could appear on the outskirts of the forest?

A gust of wind suddenly skimmed over Stern's cheeks, and the appearance of the three-headed demon wolf changed the tide of the battle again, and the human side had completely lost its advantage.

The leader of the mercenaries raised his broadsword and flicked the demon wolf's wind blade away, and he knew that he could not let the other party be so unscrupulous anymore, which would be a devastating blow to the morale of the team. The fiery red light condensed on the broadsword, and the ground under his feet even cracked, and the steel blade slashed through the bodies of the three demon wolves, even the strong physique of the demon wolf was cut with a deep wound that could be seen in the bones, and green blood sprayed all over the ground along the blade.

The three-headed demon wolf roared angrily, and an invisible pressure emanated from its massive body, and Stern and the ordinary guards were even directly crushed to the ground, unable to move.

"This beast is working gravity, interrupt it!"

The fifth-level gravity technique was enough to crush the bones of ordinary people, and Stern felt as if his internal organs did not belong to him at this moment. The boy's fingertips turned white, his lips were bitten out of blood, and Stern tried all his strength to stand up, but how could a mortal body fight against magic?

Fortunately, the mercenary's attack arrived quickly, interrupting the gravity technique of the three-headed demon wolf. Under the protection of the remaining guards, the long chant of the last spellcaster finally ended, and the fire elemental in the air reached its extreme at this moment. The raging flames swept directly across the battlefield, leaving behind countless charred wolf corpses.

The three-headed demon wolf flicked its sword in anger, and its huge claws swung down, and the cuirass was torn apart after only stopping the opponent, and the slanted power instantly knocked away the leader of the mercenaries. The mercenary leader took a deep breath, a deep paw print had been left on his chest, and blood was flowing.

The three-headed demon wolf walked towards the wounded mercenary captain, and in its opinion, the only threat to it in the field was this human.

"Blood roars!"

This is a special trick developed by humans to imitate the fury of orcs, although it is always inferior to orcs because of the difference in body structure, but it can also make the body get a great explosion at critical moments.

The crimson light kept growing wildly at this moment.

This time, the three-headed demon wolf could no longer easily tear apart the opponent's sword qi, and the broad sword body also resisted the claws of the demon wolf.

The narrow eyes of the three-headed demon wolf were fixed on each other, and the two heads next to them opened their mouths, and what the mercenary leader could see at this moment was the other party's cold-colored teeth, as well as two terrifying cyclones that were ready to attack.

The mercenary captain turned pale.

Stern knew it was a sixth-level spell hurricane roar, and he knew he couldn't stop it. Seeing that something was wrong, he tried to calm his trembling legs, and quietly leaned down and left the surrounding bushes while the wolves were attacking the mercenaries.

Goddess forbid, Goddess bless, Goddess bless.

As he ran, Stern kept praying to the goddess that he would escape

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned, and a few demon wolves found this kid who escaped from the battle and followed excitedly.

Hunting and killing is a magic wolf's forte.

How could he, a thin teenager, outrun the ferocious demon wolf? It didn't take much effort for the wolves to catch up with him.

Stern could already feel the breath of the demon wolf swaying behind him at this time, and he suddenly leaned down to dodge the forward pounce of a demon wolf behind him, but then fell directly to the ground because of the unsteadiness of his feet.

Stern could only watch in despair as the three demon wolves in front of him slowly approached him. He closed his eyes, hoping that he would die a happy death, and he shivered at the thought of hearing that some cruel demonic beasts would eat without killing their prey.

However, after a few seconds, Stern, who couldn't feel the sharp teeth attack, opened his eyes in confusion.

The black-haired boy in front of him looked like he was about his own age, and he was stepping on the corpse of a demon wolf and drawing his sword from the other.

Probably sensing Stern's gaze, the boy turned around:

"Hmm, are you alright?"
