Chapter 419: Tailwind and Turnover
There were more than a dozen merchant teams in the inn, and with the addition of adventurers and other travelers, the total number of people in the inn was almost hundreds. With so many people, it is not difficult to put together a team with decent combat effectiveness, but it is difficult for businessmen to form a consensus on the question of "who pays this fee".
After much bargaining and arguing, it was not until lunchtime that the merchants finally came to an agreement.
After being paid a certain amount of money, a team of adventurers accepted the commission from the merchants.
It was a team of four adventurers, two skilled middle-aged adventurers with two young rookie adventurers, holding weapons used to deal with ice wolves, pushed open the door of the hotel, and walked out.
Two seasoned middle-aged adventurers, draped in robes, holding a large iron shield in one hand and a long sword smeared with fire oil in the other, walked in front, followed by two young adventurers. Two young adventurers, carrying buckets of hot oil in one hand and spoons in the other, constantly sprinkle hot oil on both sides of the road - they need to pour the hot oil on the snow to carve out a wide path where the ice wolves have nowhere to hide.
The visible enemy and the invisible enemy, the degree of danger is obviously not the same level. As long as the oil is poured on that snow, the threat level of the ice wolf will drop by several levels.
The adventurers made their way to the front of the snow without any problems. The snow seemed to be normal, but everyone knew that there were countless dangerous wolf mouths hidden inside, waiting for the prey to come up.
"Tom, Jason, pour the oil on it." The two middle-aged adventurers hid behind their shields, protecting each of the two young men on either side, their eyes scanning their surroundings nervously.
Although you can't see those stealthy ice wolves, if the ice wolves attack, there will definitely be some traces.
Two young adventurers nervously stood behind and scooped a spoonful of hot oil from the hot oil barrel and threw it from the top of the shield into the snow in front of them.
The hot oil was sprinkled on the snow, making a "crackling" sound, and a large amount of steam rose from the ground.
"Good. Go on, don't stop. The two middle-aged adventurers moved to either side, revealing a larger gap so that the young man could sprinkle hot oil.
The two young men kept sprinkling hot oil on the ground, cutting down the snow area. Seeing that the adventurers refused to set foot on the snow, the ice wolves in the ambush finally couldn't help it.
"Ahh~" Suddenly, there was a wolf howl in the snow, and then, the light and shadow on the snow were distorted, and it seemed that something transparent was moving on the snow.
"It's coming!" The two middle-aged adventurers roared angrily and raised their shields.
The first thing that came out was the ice wolf's cold breath.
With a cold wind of "Huh~", the ice wolf's breath hit the adventurer's shield, causing a layer of ice crystals to condense on the surface of the shield, and then "Bang!" With a thud, the ice spike on the ice wolf's forehead slammed into the shield. The ice spike pierced the ice crystals on the shield, barely piercing the iron sheet on the surface of the shield, but stopped in front of the second layer of iron skin.
"Die!" At the same time, the adventurers suddenly poked their heads out, and the fiery red long swords in their hands slashed at the ice wolf stabbed in the shield without hesitation.
The long sword smeared with fire oil slashed into the body of the ice wolf with ease with high temperature.
"Snort~" With bursts of heat, the long sword easily cut the ice wolf in half! Immediately after, the sword of one of the middle-aged adventurers continued unabated, and directly slashed at the hot oil on the ground!
"Boom! ~" Suddenly a flame broke out on the ground.
The added material burned directly, forming a flame zone.
The sudden appearance of the flames slowed down the ice wolves' movements slightly.
"Retreat!"
Without hesitation, the two middle-aged adventurers began to retreat. After the adventurers took a few steps back, the enraged ice wolves finally reacted.
"Ahh ~"With a wolf howl, the ice wolves bypassed the sea of fire and rushed up!
When the ice wolves rushed out of the snow, they finally showed their figures. Looking at those hideous ice wolves, the two young adventurers were a little nervous.
"Keep pouring hot oil!" The middle-aged adventurer shouted angrily.
"Yes!" The young adventurer with the hot oil was startled and hurriedly spilled the hot oil in his hand.
The hot oil wasn't too far away, just a little in front of the shield, but it was just enough to hit the ice wolves that rushed forward.
"Whew~" An ice wolf was splashed with hot oil, and the scorching heat made the ice wolf fall to the ground with a wail.
Middle-aged adventurer: "Push while sprinkling oil." ”
"Okay." Two young adventurers, as they retreated, splashed hot oil in front of them and on their sides.
These hot oils were not enough to kill the ice wolf immediately, but the scorching heat was enough to make the ice wolf temporarily lose its combat effectiveness, and for a while, a large number of ice wolves fell in front of the adventurers' shields. However, at the same time, some ice wolves circled the sides of the crowd from both sides and launched attacks from both sides.
Looking at the ice wolves that pounced on them from both sides, the middle-aged adventurer who led the team shouted angrily: "Flame Path! ”
After saying that, the two middle-aged adventurers did not hesitate to plunge their swords into the hot oil on both sides of the road. The hot oil that had been prepared instantly burst into flames, forming a flame on both sides.
The flames weren't really big, and they only lasted a short time before they went out. But the fear of fire in nature made the ice wolves hesitate slightly, and at this moment, the adventurers accelerated and retreated a few steps, and finally retreated to the door of the inn.
With their backs to the hotel gates, the adventurers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, all that's left is to kill them all." The middle-aged adventurer led by him blocked the door and licked his lips, "Jason, open the bait." ”
The two adventurers held a shield in one hand and a fire oil weapon in the other, confronting the ice wolves, while behind the middle-aged adventurer, the two young adventurers had already put down the oil barrel and spoon in their hands, picked up the spear, and at the same time opened the "bait" prepared in advance.
The bait was a bucket of blood from the carriage bugs, and the fresh blood exuded a strong smell of blood, making the ice wolves outside more and more irritable.
"Hey! Sun thief! If you have the ability, come here. The middle-aged adventurers defiantly said, "There's a lot of good food here." ”
The "fragrance" of blood food constantly teases the rationality of the ice wolves. Finally, an ice wolf couldn't resist the temptation and suddenly pounced! It seemed as if they were about to rush in from above their shields, but they were greeted by scorching spears smeared with fire oil.
"Poof! ~" The spear pierced the ice wolf's body, making a "bang" sound, and the heat that erupted from the body instantly took the ice wolf's life.
"Wow! ~" The ice wolf wailed in pain, and then slowly began to melt.
At the same time, the other ice wolves couldn't help but pounce one after another.
The adventurers skillfully used their shields to resist the cold breath of the ice wolves, and the weapons in their hands reaped the lives of the ice wolves, guarding the door of the tavern like a reef.
And inside the gate of the tavern, the merchants' guards formed a second line of defense, nervously watching the battle at the door. If the battle at the gate is lost, these merchant guards will be tasked with retaking the gate and resealing the tavern door. Thankfully, however, several adventurers seem to be moving smoothly – the enraged ice wolves have lost their cool and are caught up in the rhythm of what humans do best.
A large number of ice wolf corpses collapsed at the door of the tavern, turning into cold ice water. Soon, the floor of the tavern was covered with cold ice water, which spread all the way from the door to the inside of the tavern.
Green sat quietly by the window, watching the battle outside through the crack in the bars.
Green said: There is too much snow on the ground outside, so I don't want to go out.
The situation outside the door made Green lose the desire to go out. However, the reason why I don't want to go out is not that I think the monsters outside are strong, but because I don't want to get my shoes wet. But if someone was willing to sweep the snow out of the door, Green didn't mind going out.
"These adventurers are doing a good job." Green watched with admiration as the adventurers battled.
However, as soon as Green's voice fell, the shadows on the ground distorted, and the figures of the shadow guards suddenly emerged from the ground.
Green turned his head strangely, looking at the guards who had suddenly appeared, puzzled.
"Master, there's too much water on the ground." The Shadow Guardians explained.
Green glanced down at his feet.
With the death of a large number of ice wolves, the corpses turned into ice water and remained on the ground, which caused a large amount of cold standing water to appear on the floor of the hotel. Although the ice wolves are dead, their magic is still left in the corpses (ice water), which interferes with the shadows on the ground to a certain extent, making the guards who were originally hidden in the shadows lose their invisibility.
Looking at the stagnant water on the ground, Green frowned slightly: "I remember that the boss seems to have said that these ice wolves have a smart wolf king, right?" Green looked up at the doorway, and the ice wolves were a brainless act of death. Although he was tempted by the bait, why didn't the wolf king stop his foolishness? The wolf king did not appear, which means that the wolf king obviously did not lose his rationality because of the existence of those bait......
"I suddenly had a sense of foreboding."
At this moment, Green noticed that there was a strong mana convergence reaction on the snowfield outside.
Green's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked out the window: "It's here!" ”
A huge magical force gathered outside the house, turned into cold breath, and blew in through the doors and windows of the hotel! The biting chill made Green feel even a tingling in his scalp, let alone ordinary people.
Soon, a cold wind blew, and the entire hotel was completely reduced to an ice cave!
The furnace was cold, the ground was smooth ice, and the adventurers who fought with the ice wolves had been completely turned into ice sculptures, and even the merchants who were hiding behind to watch the excitement had all been turned into ice sculptures, and only a few people wearing magic props survived. But most of them didn't quite understand what had just happened. Obviously has an advantage, why is it suddenly wiped out?
The first person to react was the tavern's hostess. I saw the innkeeper sitting behind the bar stand up, opened the small door behind the bar without hesitation, and rushed in. In just a moment, the hostess of the inn had disappeared.
At the same time, Green was raising his hand and looked at the ice crystals on the surface of his skin: "The power of this wave of ultimates is good. ”
A hint of anger flashed across Qianying's face: "Master, I'll kill them all." ”
Green clenched his fist slightly! "Smack! ~" With the sound of ice crystals cracking, all the ice crystals covering Green's body fell to the ground.
At the same time, the shadow guards who had been affected before also shook their bodies, shattering the ice crystals on their bodies.
