When you enter a cave in a no-man's land while playing an RPG game, you are sure to encounter mobs. In order to make the encounter with monsters more reasonable, the premise of "Dragons and Swords and Magic" gives players a chance to encounter the sealed ancient monster "Amber".

"Amber" is also a kind of magic crystal, and after collecting its fragments in the past, Xia Zuo has unlocked the hidden story, although that story is now locked after opening the Bestiary interface, but Xia Zuo still remembers the general content.

In ancient times, there was a devastating war between gods and demons, and the ultimate magic collided and escaped immeasurable magic.

Originally, magic was prevalent in the atmosphere of the Magic Continent, and in the bodies of those who were gifted with magic... and the more abundant existence in the magic ore - the crystallization of magic power.

The magic power emanated from the Great War saturates the concentration of mana in the nearby atmosphere for a short time, and crystallization occurs if the mana continues to increase. Like the crystallization of the Ice Age, a large number of living things have been frozen, including monsters and beasts.

Over time, they do not die, but rather pause their lifespans, and are constantly energized by the Mana Crystals, providing them with less energy when they are dormant.

The "amber" stabilized hundreds of years after it was formed, and the creatures inside were easily resurrected by touching the light.

The cave** has long been filled with the "green lantern mushrooms" that Rebecca moved into, and almost every corner is clearly illuminated by the light of fantasy colors, and naturally through the corner of the "amber" exposed after mining, the eyes of the "amber wolf" are reflected.

"Click, click..."" The stone wall shattered, and the rock peeled down, revealing the true size of "Amber" more completely, and the creature inside looked as tall as a half-summer left at first glance.

"Rebecca!" Xia Zuo turned his head and shouted, and also habitually opened the backpack bar, and he must be equipped with the right weapon when encountering monsters.

“... Well? Rebecca woke up from her sleep, she was very tired from going out to work too early, and the corners of her mouth were slightly open.

Suddenly spotting the anomaly, Rebecca stood up and said in surprise: "Is it a monster!?" He also took out the explosive scroll from his waist.

The "amber" shattered quickly, causing the entire wall to collapse, and the ground near it was shaking, and the dust was immediately filled.

"Ahem..."Xia left back, fanning the dust in front of his nose. The dust blocked everything, and after two seconds of fading, a giant-like figure was faintly visible in front of him.

As soon as I was nervous, I forgot that there was no weapon in the backpack bar, and the one-handed sword forged before was left in the blacksmith because I promised to choose only one weapon of my own. There is only an iron pickaxe in the hand, and the iron pickaxe is not a weapon, and the attack power is only 3, will it work?

"Your Excellency Xia Zuo, are you okay?" Obscured by the dust, Xia Zuo heard Rebecca's voice.

"I'm fine, what about you?"

"I'm fine, I have an explosive scroll in my hand, but this abandoned cavern is not supported by standing logs, and an uncontrolled explosion could cause a collapse."

"Then don't use it yet! Exploding scrolls won't hurt it! ”

The dust quickly cleared, and at the same time, there was a wheezing sound of a beast from the height not far in front of Xia Zuo, and saliva dripping on the stone ground.

"Shift..."Xia Zuo complained euphemistically, "... Ancient werewolves. ”

He finally saw the figure more than two meters tall - an erect werewolf, covered in white fur, with red eyes glowing, sharp fangs and claws, which seemed to have a metallic luster, and a name written on the top of his head, full health, and information about Lv25.

According to the introduction in the recollection book, the ancient werewolf is the ancestor of the werewolf and the wolf subhuman, and the physique is much larger than the werewolf.

The ancient werewolf didn't mind the dust around him, he opened his mouth and yawned, and when he stretched his waist, he raised his hands high, and his paws easily touched the top of the cave, leaving a groove in the rock of the cave like cutting mud.

In ancient times, the ancient werewolves only mastered the simple language of the same race, were not good at thinking, and they had just been resurrected and did not care at all what had happened, so they focused on the two prey, and were not in a hurry to hunt and eat them.

The prey is two human races, and they are dressed up, which is not quite the same as the human race in the impression of the ancient werewolves. But one thing won't change, among the many prey, the Terrans are the most interesting.

"Your Excellency Xia Zuo, what should I do, do I want to escape?" Rebecca's knees had begun to tremble, she had never seen such a huge monster since she was a child, and there were just small monsters around the village, even the goblins, who didn't have such a sense of intimidation on the outside, "Why the hell is it... will appear in the stone wall... The villagers have not encountered mining for so many years. ”

On this point, Xia Zuo feels that he has to take the blame, it may be his "player" identity, which increases the probability of encountering "amber" monsters, and he used to play games and talk to NPCs, which is quite a daily content, and they never say that they dig up monsters hidden in stones somewhere.

"Don't," Xia Zuo immediately replied, seeing that Rebecca was about to turn around, "You want to run away but don't run too fast!" The ancient werewolf is different from ordinary monsters, and even other small monsters that will come out of the "Amber", it is very confident that it will not attack its prey immediately..."

As he spoke, Xia Zuo slowly stepped back, and he had already opened up a distance of ten meters from the other party.

"What to do!? ... Does it understand our conversation? Rebecca was suddenly worried about escaping, and was overheard by the ancient werewolves.

"The creatures that come out of Amber don't understand the language of this era... The ancient werewolf will wait for its prey to run far enough distance or fast enough before chasing it, like a cat letting go of a mouse playing a game of hunting with it, so keep moving at the same speed as me, Rebecca. ”

Rebecca did so, and the two slowly exited the end of the cavern's branch.

But Rebecca, whose knees were already trembling, accidentally stepped on the peeling stone of the stone wall when she fell backwards.

"I'm fine, Your Excellency Xia Zuo, go on..."She slowly got up from the ground, staring at Xia Zuo and smiling.

But this action caught the attention of the ancient werewolf, and it exhaled through its nostrils and took a stride in Rebecca's direction, easily scraping the ground with its claws.

"Rebecca be careful!" Xia Zuo sprinted and pushed Rebecca away.

As she moved with Xia Zuo, she realized that the ancient werewolf had swung his claws down.

Xia Zuo, who gritted his teeth, felt that it was very slow at the moment, probably the ancient werewolf saw Rebecca showing the difficult side of escaping, and had no motivation to play the chase game with her, so he wanted to come over and solve her.

"Xia..."Before Rebecca could utter a complete word, the ancient werewolf's claws had already scratched off the handle of the pickaxe that Xia Zuo was blocking on his chest, and many pieces of cloth clothes fell, and Xia Zuo was in a backward posture after being hit.

The ancient werewolf also scratched the boulder in the path of his claws, and Xia Zuohou lay down on the ground, giving Rebecca the illusion that he had been killed, and his heart hung so cold that he was speechless for a while.

In fact, no, Xia Zuo moved back and avoided the moment before being hit, but the speed of the ancient werewolf was too fast, and the clothes were not spared.

He stretched out his foot backwards and immediately stood firm, and before the ancient werewolf could readjust his attack stance, he swung the remaining upper half of his iron pickaxe to counterattack.

With a pop, the tip of the pickaxe sparked on the werewolf's shoulder fur, making the cave brighter.

The durability of the pickaxe dropped to 29%, and not a single hair of the ancient werewolf broke.

This is the reason why Xia Zuo didn't want to fight with him and chose to run away - the other party's fur is stronger than iron armor.
