Chapter 12: Finally Meet the Jackal
Early the next morning, after Shen Mu and Yanzi were woken up by Uncle Guang, they ate roasted dry food, which was roasted by Ah Bang, and he regarded this as a sustenance for barbecue.
"Everyone cleaned up, put out the campfire, and we continued on our way. ”
The depths of the forest were no longer calm, and Uncle Guang was introducing the objectives of this mission while hurrying, mainly to Shen Mu. "Xiao Mu, the target of our mission this time is the Jackal Beast, the Jackal Beast is a kind of low-level demon beast, and its individual strength is not much stronger than that of a wild boar, but he has his own characteristics, he is fast, a social animal, and he will hardly let go after biting his prey. So it's very difficult. But after all, they are low-level demon beasts, and they don't dare to go deeper in the forest, so it's almost the same if we walk inside for half a day, and then we go around more. The jackal group generally ranges from five to twenty, but there are a few exceptions, in short, everyone be careful. ”
There are a lot of monsters encountered by the team today, and there are no less than ten bone-eating beasts alone, but fortunately, these bone-eating beasts are all timid demon beasts, and only two or three of them clashed with the team, and were quickly killed by the swallow in a few clicks. There are also some other little demon beasts, all of which are solved by Swallow alone.
Shen Mu also admired the strength of the swallow very much. Killed more than a dozen demon beasts along the way, but there was no sign of injury at all.
Near noon, Uncle Guang stopped, and there were no demon beasts in front of him, "Everyone take a break to recover our strength and fighting spirit, we will start to travel westward until we meet the target." After informing everyone, he took the lead in sitting cross-legged and began to recover.
Yanzi also sat down cross-legged to recover his fighting spirit, only Ah Bang and Shen Mu did not consume any physical strength, and protected the two of them beside them.
"Ah Bang, this low-level demon beast jackal beast should only be regarded as a difficult A-level task, even if it is a group demon beast, it is impossible to reach the B-level task. We have two mid-level martial artists, and even a mid-level demon beast can fight it. "Shen Mu was actually a little curious all the way, because he had seen the B-level mission bulletin board, and basically hunted middle-level demon beasts, and some difficult B-level missions even required hunting multiple middle-level demon beasts.
"Brother Mu Mirage, you don't know this, although the individual combat effectiveness of the jackal beast is not very strong compared to other demon beasts, it is extremely ferocious, and the most terrifying thing is that no matter what kind of social animal, they often have the existence of a leader, and the leader is generally close to the middle level or has reached the middle level. Let's hope our luck doesn't fade this time, but don't worry, my mace isn't vegetarian and will definitely cover you. Zhou Qian said jokingly, "When the time comes, you will run first after I break off." ”
Although Shen Mu could hear it as a joke, he was also a little moved, the brother who had known him for less than two days could say such things, and obviously he didn't treat him as an ordinary friend anymore.
Ten minutes later, the mercenary team set off again, this side is already close to the realm infested by middle-level demon beasts, and the four of them are also extremely careful, on the way forward, Yanzi's hand has never left the thin sword of the person on the side, Guang Tang is also holding his machete tightly with his right hand, and his left hand is not pushing away the leaves that block the view, tracking the clues on the ground.
After more than two hours of walking, it was already afternoon at this time, and a few people only ate some dry food at noon and did not delay much, but there was no trace of jackals and beasts, and the footprints on the ground appeared from time to time, but because it had not rained recently, the land was not very wet, and the footprints only appeared around the roots of some large trees. Guangkan asked a few people to take a break, relax their spirits and move forward.
After more than an hour, the target was still not found, so Guangkan asked everyone to rest on alert, and climbed the tree himself to take a look at the surrounding situation.
"It is estimated that it will be dark in less than two hours, and the night in the forest will come sooner, so let's go back after resting, and set up camp when it is almost dark, and come in again tomorrow to look for it." "Cantonese has to keep everyone safe, it's too dangerous to be in the depths of the forest at night. Just about to climb down, suddenly a sudden change protrusion.
"Swallow, be careful in the south, Ah Storm, be on guard in the north, the demon beast is coming. Hirokan roared, just in time to see more than three gnolmons crawling to the south.
As soon as Yanzi heard this, he instinctively pulled out his thin sword, stepped back and protected Shen Mu on his back, Ah Bang also reacted quickly, and quickly got up, holding the mace in both hands.
Shen Mu was thinking about things, and suddenly a delicate body was attached to him, and his first reaction was that Yanzi was going to tease him again, but when he turned around and saw Yanzi with a thin sword in his hand, he knew that something might be wrong.
"Bang!" Guangkan jumped straight from the tree. "Xiao Mu, the jackal beast is here, be careful. After speaking, he held the big knife firmly with his right hand, but took out a small shield from his back with his left hand, which was the first time Shen Mu saw Uncle Guang take a shield.
Seeing that they had been discovered, the three jackals in the south did not move slowly, but directly burst into speed and rushed towards Shen Mu and the four people from three directions.
The swallow and Guangkan exchanged a look at each other and rushed out directly, and in a blink of an eye, the jackal on the right hand side was pierced, the jackal struggled twice and then did not move, the swallow didn't look at it, and rushed towards the other jackal, the jackal did not see the retreat and actually came up, the swallow was simply and neatly slashed, the jackal beast was bloodily divided into two halves, and the scream did not move. The remaining one of the jackals watched the death of their companions, and although they were afraid, for some reason they still accelerated and rushed towards Uncle Guang, and was blocked by Uncle Guang with a shield and hacked to death.
"Is it over?" Shen Mu looked at the thrilling battle.
"Xiao Mu, the battle has just begun, just now those are the abandoned sons of the clan, they are sent to death and test our strength, with this blood on the ground, the jackals will be even more ferocious, can think of this tactic, their leader seems to have a high IQ, it also means..."Uncle Guang took a light breath, and then said, "He may be a middle-level jackal king." ”
Everyone believed in Uncle Guang's judgment very much, and they became even more vigilant after hearing the word intermediate.
Not surprisingly, less than two minutes. The mercenary team remembered the "click" sound all around, and the noise became louder and louder. Packs of jackals gradually appeared around them, and they were surrounded.
"Be careful, there are no less than fifty brutes, swallows, you break through the encirclement, look for the leader to kill it, and we will drag these low-level brutes. Uncle Guang yelled. He slapped his shield with his knife and laughed, "Come on, brutes."
"You guys be careful," Yanzi took off his cloak, his whole body suddenly exuded a green fighting aura, and he disappeared in place with a snort, Shen Mu was taken aback, this figure, oh no, this speed, can be so fast that it can disappear directly.
In fact, it's just that Shen Mu's strength is too low, and after arriving at the martial artist, his perception ability has been greatly enhanced, and he can see the swallow suddenly rushing to the side, and the swallow is speeding and swinging out of the Dao sword qi, and the front is suddenly rushed out of a bloody road, and the three jackals are instantly called strangled. Although this hand looks very powerful, it is actually very consuming of fighting energy. The swallow did not dare to slack off, and directly shook off the pursuing jackals and hid into the forest, preparing to find the leader of this group of beasts and launch a surprise attack.
Uncle Guang also had a blood-red fighting spirit all over his body, and the middle-level martial artists could not only strengthen themselves with fighting energy, but also use fighting qi to transform armor and increase their defense, which was not a martial art, but the use of fighting energy.
"Split the ground and slash!" Uncle Guang shouted, and the big knife slashed to the ground, and a cone-shaped area was destroyed by the unleashed red fighting qi, and the ground was cracked. The four jackals in front of them were also bleeding from the Seven Holes of the Fighting Qi and died on the spot. "Hmph!" came again, Uncle Guang shouted.
The front was temporarily cleared, the lack of jackals behind him has not been reduced, the low-level martial artist Ah Bang does not have a large-scale damage martial art similar to the ground split, his martial arts are similar to playing baseball, the blood-red fighting spirit is condensed on the mace, and every swing can swing out a fighting spirit group, although the power is amazing, but the jackal beast has a high probability of being able to dodge, but what can't be avoided is to be killed directly. But the overall lethality is still not enough. "Die, die, die, dare to take a ball from grandpa. "The attack on Ah Bang's mouth is not as fast as the attack on his hand. The scolding continued.
There are really a lot of jackal beasts, and only a dozen of them have been killed, and Uncle Guang is already reminding Ah Storm, "Ah Storm, save some fighting spirit, and try to solve it with weapons." ”
The blood on the ground of their companions' deaths, the jackals and beasts all had red eyes, and they pounced on them with their mouths wide open.
Although Uncle Guang's attack and defense have improved a lot under the blessing of Douqi, he can kill one with two or three knives, but gradually he is still a little exhausted, and wounds gradually appear on his body. Ah Bang is not much better, the fighting energy of a low-level martial artist can only be blessed with the whole body to increase the attack power, and it is not thick enough to turn into armor like a middle-level martial artist. But fortunately, there are not as many jackals in the rear as there are in front.
"Healing. Shen Mu's heart moved, and the magic power flew towards Uncle Guang with the light element, and Uncle Guang didn't notice it at first, until the healing technique began to work.
"Xiao Mu is good, this spell is really magical, it can restore wounds, and it can even relieve fatigue. Uncle Guang suddenly lifted his spirits, and he no longer had the fatigue that he had gradually lost before, although his fighting spirit did not recover, but his physical strength had recovered most of it. I was able to keep up the best condition and continue fighting.
"Mu Mirage, hurry up, give me a small ball of light, I can't hold on anymore. Ah Bang said that he couldn't hold on, but he actually wanted to experience the pleasure described by Uncle Guang. There was only one jackal in front of him.
Of course, Shen Mu was not stingy, and a healing technique was lost.
The three of them were supported in the pack of jackals, and with the healing technique, it was obvious that there was no danger. Now the most important thing for them is to find out the leader of the wolf pack first, not to mention that even if these fifty or so jackals can be killed, they will definitely be tired and only have half a life left. In case the leader sneaks up again, it will be more than lucky. Even the swallows didn't have time to come to the rescue.
