Chapter 49: Prey
In this practical assessment, Tia, who is a magician, and Bai Zhe, a group. Bai Zhe is now a probationary knight, and once he graduates, he will become an official knight after the award ceremony. His weapons were swords and shields, but he did not like to hold shields, and in his hands, shields often became secondary attack weapons and darts. Passos is a trainee ranger and can choose to become a knight or a ranger after graduation. Her weapons are bows and daggers, as well as two daggers, and she excels at ranged attacks and has excellent melee abilities. As the core of the team, Tia is a potions master, specializing in magic attacks and healing.
In a group of three people, they launched the assessment task of hunting demonic beasts around Mirror Lake.
They came to the northeast area of Mirror Lake.
Bai Zhe wore a one-handed shield, put the knight's long sword as a bamboo pole on his shoulders, put his hands on both ends of the sword, and held a grass stalk in his mouth, walking in front openly. He jumped on a big rock, squatted and looked into the forest, then turned back to Rosa, who was always vigilant with a bow and arrow, and Tia, who had been cautious, and said, "Why don't we finish the assessment tonight and have a picnic around Mirror Lake tomorrow?" β
Tia said angrily to the swaggering guy, "Don't run to such a high place, you will look good if you alarm our target!" β
Bai Zhe said disapprerovingly: "If you see me and run away, there is no need to hunt." Seeing the guy I dared to come up again, didn't it save us the effort to find it? β
Tia said, "No monster would be foolish enough to attack a strange creature. If it dares to attack you, it is sure to hunt you. β
Bai Zhe replied disdainfully: "Cut, it's not certain who hunts whom." According to me, let's go straight to the strongest guy around Mirror Lake, and go back to bed early after you finish it! β
At that moment, a roar came from the depths of the forest, and the birds in the trees were frightened by the roar.
Reflexively, Passos raised the bow in his hand, and the arrow on the string pointed in the direction from which the voice came, and said, "It's a saber-toothed tiger." β
Bai Zhe stood up on the big rock, with an excited look on his face: "A carnivorous demonic beast with a mid-level danger level, it's not bad to take it for a knife!" Let's go! β
With that, he jumped off the big rock and ran towards the source of the sound.
"Hey!" Tia wanted to stop him from drawing up a battle plan before acting, but the hot-headed Bai Zhe had already run away, so they had to chase after him.
Tia and Passos had no choice but to follow.
"This wood with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, I said I should take my time!" Tia couldn't help but complain.
As he walked, he kept an eye on the surroundings of the woods and said, "The saber-toothed tiger usually acts alone, and we can besiege it." β
"Then Bai Zhe has to not scare it away!" Tia knew that Bai Zhe was not blindly hot-blooded, and he would wait until they followed before attacking together, but he was still too difficult to control.
The three of them ran towards the location where the saber-toothed tiger sounded.
They were still about 300 meters away from the place where the battle took place, and it was really the battlefield where Rein and the saber-toothed tiger collided head-on.
By the time they arrived, the saber-toothed tiger had already been defeated by Rhine and was quickly surrounded by spotted hyenas.
Bai Zhe pushed aside the bushes with his hand, looked at the scene in front of him, and said, "We are late, the saber-toothed tiger has been defeated. β
Tia and Passos finally caught up and watched as the saber-toothed tiger was eaten by the spotted hyena.
Passos frowned and said, "The saber-toothed tiger that the spotted hyena defeated? β
Tia shook her head and said, "The magic here is very disordered, there are obviously magicians who have used powerful magic, and the saber-toothed tiger was defeated by a magician. β
Bai Zhe said, "Is it from our academy?" β
"We were the first group to go in this direction, and no one was ahead of us," Passos said. β
Tia said, "Didn't this powerful magician disdain to obtain such a low-level magic crystal without taking the saber-toothed tiger's magic crystal......
The six spotted hyenas were tearing greedily, not noticing that there were three pairs of eyes staring at them.
"Are you going to chase these hyenas away? And then we take the magic crystal of the saber-toothed tiger? Bai Zhe asked.
Tia said, "Then settle the battle before they swallow the crystals." β
Passos said: "Tia, your attack magic will alarm them, I can shoot three arrows at the same time to solve three, and the other three will be handed over to you, Bai Zhe, knock them down, or drive them away." β
Bai Zhe slowly drew his long sword and said, "Okay, look at me." Tia β Silent Spell. β
"Okay."
Tia casts a silent curse on the melee unit to approach the spotted hyenas, and then fights with Passos' ranged arrow attacks, allowing them to easily wipe out all six spotted hyenas.
Spotted hyenas, low-level magical beasts, with average single combat ability, hunting animals in groups, with strong reproductive ability, survive in the area of Mirror Lake. They are dog-like, long-necked, shoulder-high and hip-low, and their hind limbs are shorter than their forelimbs, making them ungraceful runners, but they are extremely endurant and fast-moving. It has brownish-yellow fur with black-brown irregular spots, and a row of long, messy manes on the dorsal midline of the back of the neck. The head is shorter and rounder than that of dogs, and they have well-developed tapered premolars that can easily bite animal bones, and with this strong bite force, they are called "bone crushers".
With Passos on the side, he put three arrows on the bowstring, and when Bai Zhe gave a command, he would shoot at the three hyenas who were aiming.
Bai Zhe drew his knight's sword, and under the cover of Tia's silent curse, he slowly approached the spotted hyena that was eating the saber-toothed tiger.
Spotted hyenas have a keen sense of smell and are alert to other rivals even during feeding. At this time, the leader of the spotted hyena, a female hyena with a red mane, smelled the smell of danger approaching, the peculiar aura of iron, a human weapon.
It looked up vigilantly.
"Now!"
Bai Zhe immediately made a decision and issued an order to attack.
"Whoaβ"
Three arrows slashed through the air, and Passos released his bowstring and shot at the three spotted hyenas, while Bai Zhe jumped out and swung his sword at the other three.
The two spotted hyenas fell in response, and the female hyena dodged because she had a premonition, and the feather arrow only grazed her front legs. Bai Zhe's sword cut down two hyenas, and the other one was so far away that he jumped away in fright. The two hyenas had a hard time escaping, turned around and ran.
"Where to run!" Bai Zhe shouted and was about to catch up.
"Stop chasing Ah Zhe!" Tia hurriedly shouted.
Bai Zhe stopped, his goal was not to destroy all the hyenas, he still knew the severity.
"Damn, two escaped!" Bai Zhe walked back stupidly.
Tia and Passos walked out and said, "Our goal has been achieved, go and get the Sabertooth Tiger's magic crystal." β
Bai Zhe complained: "Why me again! β
Tia nudged him and said, "Stop yelling, go." β
The other side.
Rein finished resting and walked out of hiding. He decided to go back to Mirror Lake first and go back along the old road, which was the safest way. With so much offset from the original direction, he was unable to determine the new direction.
With Emily's wand in hand, Rein looked around and walked back quickly.
Turning a large tree, Rein heard something rapidly approaching.
Alertly, he ducked back behind a tree, and in a moment a spotted hyena ran past him.
"Didn't see me ......"
Rein was secretly glad in his heart, and turned around to walk around the tree from the other side, but when he turned around, he found another spotted hyena passing in front of him.
Both Spotted Hyena and Rein were stunned for a moment, and then Spotted Hyena reacted first, baring its teeth and letting out a strange roar.
Rein was frightened for a moment, then subconsciously stepped back, and when he turned around, another spotted hyena appeared behind him. The one that ran over before also turned his head to see Rein running towards him amid the roar of his companions.
Rein stepped back, kicked the root, and staggered against the trunk. He held the magic wand in one hand and the tree behind him in the other, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Goo-"
The three spotted hyenas showed a tendency to close the lone prey.
Lei Yin broke out in a cold sweat, and said secretly in his heart: "Didn't you say that hyenas are scavengers, why would they attack me, a big living person?" Could it be that all the hyenas in Green Weilan are more ferocious? β
Rein's wand was in his hand like a gun he wasn't familiar with, and he didn't know which hyena to aim at. He didn't dare to attack first, knowing that even if he attacked one hyena, the other two would pounce on him.
The three hyenas roared and pressed closer, and Rein shook his wand from side to side, trying to scare them off, but in the hyena's eyes, the twig-like thing was no deterrent at all.
Rein knew he couldn't go head-to-head with them, and he had to find another way out, or he would die here in a moment.
After a quick glance at the environment around him, he immediately had a countermeasure in his mind.
He put the wand back in his trouser pocket, then opened his hands, and the three hyenas were stunned for a moment with a glow in their eyes, wondering why this man suddenly seemed to be full of confidence.
Rein saw that the first step of the strategy, the bluff, had taken effect, and immediately moved on to the second step: assault roar. He yelled, "Wow! β
The three hyenas were startled for some unknown reason, and when they were distracted, Rein immediately turned around and climbed up to the tree!
The hyena came to his senses and ran under the tree and barked at Rein in in the tree.
"PhewβI'm glad my tree-climbing skills are still there." Rein has been active since he was a child, and climbing trees is just a trivial matter for him.
Three spotted hyenas stood up under the tree and tried to climb up, but they had no ability to climb the tree.
Rein made a grimace at the three spotted hyenas under the tree and said defiantly, "Come on, you come up and bite me, stupid dog!" β
Three spotted hyenas roared angrily under the tree, and one even tried to bite the trunk with its strong jaw, which was really stupid.
