Chapter 5: The First Battle
This day is April 8, 4558 in the Magnolia calendar. After saying goodbye to Gabriela, Wright put on his sturdy leather backpack and walked along the south gate of the homecoming city into the Sunset Mountains.
Wright's speed is very fast, and it is difficult to travel on this road from the Sunset Mountain Range in the Homecoming City, but with the strength of the fifth-level warrior of Wright, he can easily advance sixty miles in an hour, and he came to the entrance of the Sunset Mountain Range in just half an hour.
Of course, there is no such thing as an 'entrance' to the Sunset Mountains. The Warcraft Mountain Range runs through the north and south of the continent, and at its southern end it divides into a 'branch vein', and the branch vein goes west to east, which is the 'Sunset Mountain Range'.
Strictly speaking, the location of Homecoming City is already part of the Sunset Mountains, the Warcraft Mountains, and the rocks of the Sunset Mountains are a characteristic crimson stone, which is generally used by adventurers as a sign of entering the Sunset Mountains.
Soon, Wright sees the cruelty of the Sunset Mountains.
About half a day after entering the Sunset Mountains, Wright suddenly saw three people walking side by side in front of him.
One of the three was armed with a staff and wore a magician's robes, while the other two of the three, one of whom was sturdy and carried a hammer on his shoulder, while the other looked rather obese and held a huge shield like a door panel.
The young man in the magician's robe turned alarmingly to look at Wright. After examining it with his eyes, he suddenly spoke: "Did this brother also go to Sunset Mountain to train?" How about we go together as a team, and there are many people who take care of each other. β
Wright rolled his eyes, without the slightest idea of responding, and walked straight forward, ignoring it at all, and faintly heard the mockery of the other person: "Pig, when can you change your naΓ―ve mistake, this is the Sunset Mountains, even if that kid is stupid enough to team up with you, I don't want him to join." Then even the retort of the young man in the mage's robe.
The corner of Wright's mouth tugged at a faint smile, he didn't expect to meet a rookie like himself as soon as he entered the Sunset Mountains, but he didn't plan to go back and team up with others, what if it was a trap, and they were old birds in disguise?
Suddenly, Wright felt a palpitation, and without hesitation, his body jerked to the side, and a bow and arrow passed by the side of his face, and a little liquid seemed to be thrown on his face.
Then only to hear a "poof, Wright turned his head to see, among the three people just now, the strong man with the hammer was shot through the throat by an arrow, a large amount of blood gushed out, and the strong man covered the wound with his hand in vain, struggling to fall.
"Hamm!" It seemed to be the roar of a young man in a mage's robe!
"Hand over your goods and provisions, and surround you from death."
Several figures appeared and jumped down from the tree, encircling the remaining two and Wright in the middle.
The robbers, dressed in a variety of clothes, armed with bows and arrows, and with weapons such as short knives or hand axes hanging from their waists, looked indifferently at Wright and the other three, and kept closing in on them. Wright swept his eyes, there were eight people in total, but I didn't know if there was anything hidden.
Wright took a few steps back and stood with the other two, the three of them looked at each other, and did not hand over their belongings, but only looked at the men vigilantly.
Seeing that none of the three had any intention of handing over their belongings, it seemed that a one-eyed dragon led by him waved his right hand, "Do it!" β
However, faster than his words was the movement of the fat man, although it looked bulky, but the man's speed was not slow at all, he held a huge shield, easily knocked the arrow away, and then swung violently, and a man in black was knocked out by the shield.
This was followed by Wright's magic.
"Ahh "Bang!" "Smack!" "I'm going to fall!" ββ
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a strong vibration shook like a wave, centered on Wright, and spread out towards the fan-shaped area in front of him, and the whole ground shook violently as if it had been grabbed and trembled by a giant.
Earth System Level 5 Magic "Seismic!" β
There were three robbers in the fan area in front of Wright who didn't seem to have the experience to deal with it, and they were not strong themselves, two of them fell to the ground, and the other barely held on.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" A total of three arrows were fired at Wright.
Wright moved slightly, dodging one of the arrows aimed at his skull, but the other two didn't dodge at all, allowing them to shoot at him.
"Click!" The arrow hit Lightlight's body, but after shooting through the leather armor, it didn't make any progress, and even the shaft of the arrow broke under the impact, revealing a layer of rock-like armor covering Wright's body!
Earth Rank 6 Magic "Earth Guardian Armor!" β
At the same time, several rocks the size of human skulls flew over and smashed straight into the heads of the three robbers.
Earth-based third-level magic "Shattered Stone!"
The two robbers who fell to the ground were stoned to their heads without resistance, and the robbers who were still standing barely escaped the first attack. was smashed in the throat by Wright's heavy punch and fell to the ground weakly!
Wright looked back, and the strong man holding the giant shield seemed to be in a bitter battle, surrounded in the middle by three robbers, although the strength seemed to be stronger, and relying on the power of the giant shield, wielding and forcing the three robbers to dodge and not be able to attack with all their strength. But he was still added to a wound from time to time, but these wounds had almost no effect, because from time to time white light floated up on him, and the wound immediately stopped bleeding and contracted!
The young man called 'Pig' was leaning against the tree, forcibly chanting a spell calmly, and at the same time, a white light shield protected him, and although the two robbers had attacked several times, the light mask was a little shaky, but it was still firmly supported.
"Light magician?!" Wright's thought flashed, but his body movement was not slow at all, and he swung his weight-bearing staff (tiechui) and slammed it. One of the two robbers besieging Pig was smashed in the back by Wright's "flying hammer", and only a "click" was heard, as if the backbone had been broken by this blow!
Another besieging robber armed with an axe reacted and found that the other three robbers had been cleaned up by Wright, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Second brother, help... β
I saw a sharp white light from Pig's hand, and a white light condensed into an arrow shape and stabbed into the robber's throat from the side, and he fell to the ground without even saying a word.
"Dick? There's still one person hidden! Wright and Pig thought of this almost at the same time, assuming a wary posture.
The three robbers who besieged the strong man with the giant shield heard the sound and were also ready to retreat, but they were firmly held back by the giant man who counterattacked!
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew in, but it shot at the attacking giant.
"Bang! Click. The voice came, and the power of this arrow was extremely powerful, and it actually shot through the giant shield, but the remaining power and speed decreased, and it only shot through the left shoulder of the giant man.
"Humph!" The giant man was injured in the right shoulder, and blood spurted out. The three robbers escaped the range of the giant shield and hurried to escape.
"Fatty!" Pig exclaimed, and a light-based healing magic struck the giant man, and the wound immediately healed.
At the same time, Wright cast a spell and released a spell.
Fire Level 5 Magic "Flame Cage!" β
"Ah~~" The three robbers let out a scream.
Flame ropes appeared out of thin air, like snakes under the control of Wright's spiritual power, rigidly binding the bodies of the three robbers who wanted to escape, and the strong heat burned the robbers, making them scream in pain, but they couldn't get rid of it for a while!
Three arrows were shot from the woods and nailed to the heads of the three robbers, freeing them. However, the three bows and arrows seemed to come from three different directions, and Pyg and Wright couldn't accurately determine the location for a while, but it was difficult to chase down the last robber, the "second child".
The strong man has much more combat experience, so he easily judged the approximate position, and then raised his huge shield with his left hand and smashed it violently. The giant shield smashed several large trees, and although the last robber dodged the shield at the critical moment, his position was also revealed.
The exposed bandit fired three arrows in a desperate struggle, which was blocked by Pig's light shield, while Wright unleashed a 'flame blast' that quickly ended the fight!
"Hello, my name is Pig, my companions call him Fat Brother, thank you for your help!" The young man in the magician's robe thanked Wright very sincerely.
Wright took a few steps back, kept a safe distance, and replied, "No thanks, I'm just here to protect myself!" β
Seeing that Wright didn't team up with him, and didn't even want to reveal his name, Pig seemed a little embarrassed, at this time, the big man on the side cooked the corpses of the enemy and his companions--- the enemy killed them with knives and looted their belongings, and the companions actually dug a pit and buried it, and then took the weapon away to leave a sustenance, if they could go out, put the weapon in the grave, as for the corpse, even if they dug a pit and buried it, it was actually just a meaning, and it would definitely be dug up and eaten by the monster in the end.
After a while, the strong man and the fat brother walked to Pig's side and whispered: "Boy Pige, this is the Sunset Mountains, the trust between people is very low, you trust others, and people don't trust you", and then said to Wright: "I won't say much, if we can go back, we will stay in the 'Headless Wolf Hotel' in the homecoming city, and you can come to us for a drink when we go back." β
Wright nodded in response, and then Pig suddenly said, "Brother, can you do me a favor?" I see you can use fire magic, can you help my dead brother burn to ashes, so we can take it out"
The strong man's eyes lit up, he didn't see Wright use fire magic, if he could bring back his brother's ashes, it would be much better than bringing weapons back, but he was more experienced and he was afraid that Wright would refuse, so he immediately said, "This brother, please do me a favor, all the loot this time is yours!" And we belong to the Bobcat Adventure Group, this time I owe you a personal favor, you can go to the hometown city to find us! β
Wrett nodded: "Needless to say, the loot is divided, we divide it according to the head, and it should be fair that I will take half of it, as for helping your brother, it's no problem, but if I use magic... β
The strong man nodded suddenly, dragged Pig to a few hundred meters away, and explained in a low voice: "He should be afraid that we will sneak attack when he uses fire magic, we are far away, he is not afraid of our sneak attack, and we don't have to be afraid that he will take the opportunity to use magic to attack us!" It seems that he is also a novice, you kid should learn how to be cautious about others."
Ten minutes later, Fat Brother and Pig returned to their original places, and sure enough, the bodies of their companions had been incinerated by the flames, and the loot that had just been grouped into a pair by the strong man was probably half worth of their belongings. Pig took out a small bag to collect the ashes and left.
On the other side, Wright, who was already a few miles away, sighed, the Sunset Mountain Range was really dangerous, and he was attacked just after he came in, if it wasn't for the other three people sharing the other party's attack, it would be difficult for him to win without a first-mover advantage----- of course, it was not a big problem to escape by magic. After carefully thinking about whether some of his actions were correct and recording them in detail, Wright walked into the depths of the Sunset Mountains again.
