Chapter 3: Bone Fire

I don't know when it started, but the wind started in the wilderness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The wind swept up the torrential rain, blowing at the skeleton mage's small body. The muddy ground made it difficult to walk, and Gavin struggled to walk.

Two or three miles away from the Quiet Forest, Gavin could already see the outline of the forest in the distance, but he couldn't see anything clearly because of the storm.

A low, faint wolf howl could be heard in the distance, and Gavin's heart sank to the bottom.

The wolves that are active here should belong to the timberwolves that are active in the quiet forest, they have at least 15 agility points, are very fast, have stronger reflexes, and generally move in groups, as long as they appear, there are at least five or six.

It is difficult to see a lone wolf alone.

These timber wolves often hunt in the wilderness, and their prey is usually antelope, hares or deer, and they have a keen sense of smell, even from a distance of thousands of kilometers, they can smell other creatures...... Even if it's the breath of the dead.

Gavin waved his oak staff, enhancing his vision.

Visual enhancement is a level 0 magic trick that does not require the creation of a spell model, but directly relies on the magical properties of arcane energy to enhance vision, and only requires a small amount of mana.

Through the torrential rain that resembled a column of water, Gavin saw a vague figure of the timber wolves a few hundred meters away.

Gavin tightened his grip on his staff.

The Timberwolves are Level 2 creatures, with the same strength as humans, and their agility and physique are far above those of ordinary humans, and comparable to the well-trained warriors of regular troops.

A single timberwolf can go head-on with a fighter who has been trained for two or three years.

The Timberwolves in the distance are a small pack of between 5 and 10 individuals, and it takes an average level 2 five-person adventure squad to fight against.

What's more, once you're targeted by wolves, they will patiently hunt you until you die completely unless your abilities terrify them.

The promotion criteria for a mage are that mastering one Tier 1 spell is a Tier 1 Mage, mastering two Tier 1 spells is a Tier 2 Mage, and mastering five Tier 1 spells is a Tier 5 Mage.

Only by mastering a Tier 2 spell can you become a Tier 6 Mage (Tier 2).

Gavin's stats panel now indicates three Tier 1 spells, so on the surface, he is a Tier 3 mage.

In reality, this is not the case.

Gavin had all the memories of his seventeen years of rebirth, and he had watched the 1,700 years of the Immortal Lord in his dreams.

Seventeen years of memory and 1,700 years of spectatorship, he learned the knowledge and spells that should be required at the beginner mage stage, and also forcibly memorized part of the knowledge and spells of the Eternal Night Hades.

18 points of intelligence and 19 points of spirit are not enough to understand and cast higher-level spells, but it is enough for him to understand all Tier 1 spells, and he can easily cast all Tier 1 spells.

So from the beginning, he wasn't a level 1 mage.

He is a level 5 mage.

A level 5 mage who has mastered almost all Tier 0 and Tier 1 spells.

His character template is a level 1 skeleton/level 5 mage, with a total level of 6.

Even in head-on combat, he has the ability to fight the wolves.

A good mage who is good at fighting is not as simple as seeing the enemy throw fireballs, but can use all factors to fight, such as terrain, such as weather.

Rubbing fireballs in such a storm is the act of a fool.

In this case, the most suitable spell is a spell related to water.

"Inferior Ice Orb!"

As Gavin whispered, an egg-sized bead of ice appeared in front of him.

The Ice Orb can be used directly to attack, dealing a certain amount of cold damage to enemies, and the damage value is around 5.

This is the stupidest way to fight.

Gavin chanted incantations one after another, and five orbs of ice appeared in a row, swirling around his body. 19 points of spiritual power were enough for him to perfectly control these ice beads.

The wolves were getting closer, and Gavin could already see their green eyes, which were full of coldness and greed.

"Frozen Ray!"

Freezing rays condensed in the air, connecting five second-class ice beads to each other.

Similar spells, spell models are similar.

Combining the Tier 1 Inferior Ice Orb with the Tier 0 Frozen Ray, and slightly modifying it, it becomes a weakened version of the Ice Ray Array.

The five second-grade Ice Beads are the Five-Star Ice Mangling Array.

Gavin swung his Oak Staff, increasing his resistance, and then applied Frost Armor. Cold Resistance reduces Freezing Damage by at least 1 point, and Frost Armor blocks a total of 10 damage, leaving him unharmed in the very center of the Five-Star Ice Array.

The wolves are smart.

There are 7 wolves in total.

Two wolves approached from the front, two wolves outflanked from the left, and two wolves outflanked from the right. There was also a significantly taller head wolf, slowly approaching from behind.

Suddenly, the two wolves approaching each other quickly rushed towards Gavin.

Gavin gripped the oak staff tightly and slammed it to the ground, and the rich arcane energy entered the Ice Array from the head of the staff, and the inferior Ice Bead accelerated its rotation, and the Ice Array was activated!

A flash of ice condensed in front of Gavin.

Gavin's hollow eyes were fixed on the two rushing timberwolves, and when they were only twenty meters away from him, he shot the ice ray out.

Ice Ray is equivalent to a type of Ice Arrow that has been reduced by one model, and the real Ice Arrow is a Tier 2 spell, which is far ten times more powerful than Ice Ray.

An ice arrow can shoot the wolf in the distance.

The speed of the ice ray was extremely fast, and one of the timberwolves was too late to dodge under the high-speed charge and was hit by the ice ray.

Twenty centimeters long, the size of an adult's thumb, shot through the timberwolf's body. Under the action of inertia, the timberwolf continued to drag for five or six meters, and then fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

The wolf is a determined animal, they obey the will of the collective, and it is difficult to be intimidated. As long as the head wolf does not give the order to retreat, they will continue to attack.

The second ice ray didn't have time to condense, and the second wolf had already rushed into the ice ray array at the same time that the first one fell.

A pearl of inferior ice quickly hit the wolf.

Dealing damage to it also reduces its movement speed.

In the Ice Array, the stagnant water on the ground had frozen, and the falling rain began to freeze three meters above Gavin's head, turning into a fine ice rain.

Under the manipulation of Gavin's spiritual power, these ice rains condensed into a cold ice shield, which had long been blocked in front of him.

The slowed timberwolf crashes into the ice shield.

The ice shield could not withstand the huge impact and shattered, and the Timberwolves were also hit on the head and bleeding, and their speed was reduced again.

An ice spike suddenly appeared on the ground and pierced the timberwolf's body, piercing its heart.

The Timberwolves continued to drag for a meter, and with an unwilling whimper, they collapsed at Gavin's feet.

The tragic death of the two tentative wolves in less than five seconds shocked the pack, and the head wolf gave the order to stay put.

Gavin unhurriedly replenished a second-class Ice Orb.

The five-star ice array took shape again.

Then there was a brief stalemate.

The bloody qi dispersed in the storm, and the head wolf, after losing two wolves, finally determined that the skeleton mage on the opposite side was not easy to deal with, and gave the order to retreat.

Watching the wolves leave from afar, Gavin didn't cancel the spell.

Wolves are cunning, they may not really leave, maybe they are just waiting for the right moment. Deliver the fatal blow when you let your guard down.

It wasn't until the wolves were out of sight that Gavin canceled the spell.

Most of his mana was consumed.

If the wolves continue to attack, he may be able to kill them all, but his mana will also be depleted. For a mage, mana is life. If he loses all his mana, he becomes a living target. With a 6-point physique, he can't even withstand the fists of a human teenager.

Suddenly, Gavin sensed a dangerous approach.

He hurriedly applied ice armor to himself, and then turned his head to see a wolf slowly approaching in the distance.

It was a scrawny lone wolf.

In the wilderness, a hungry lone wolf is far more terrifying than a small pack.

Because it is already too hungry to forage for food in a storm, it will eat even the meat of the same kind. In order to survive, it can fight to the death.

Gavin turned his back to the lone wolf and slowly backed away.

There are only three situations in which a lone wolf will appear.

One is the old wolf, who is old and frail, in order not to drag down the wolves, is driven out by the head wolf and becomes a lone wolf;

One is that several powerful adult wolves in the wolf pack failed to compete for the position of the head wolf, and as a result, they were driven out of the wolf pack by the head wolf;

Finally, the wolf pack has been wiped out and the only wolf remains.

The wolf in the distance was larger than a normal timber wolf, skinny but young.

It's not an old wolf.

Whether it's a failed competitor or the only survivor of the pack, it's a hard thing to mess with.

Gavin was reluctant to clash with him if he didn't have to.

Slowly retreat, away from the carcasses of the two timberwolves.

When it had retreated nearly thirty meters, the lone wolf finally slowly approached and came to the side of the corpse of the first timber wolf.

Even though he was extremely hungry, the lone wolf still did not move easily, but sniffed carefully to make sure that there was no smell (toxin or plague) on the corpse, and then slowly bit down a piece of meat and swallowed it slowly.

Gavin's heart sank slightly.

This is not a simple lone wolf, it is very cautious and experienced. Gavin couldn't figure out how such a wolf could become a lone wolf. He became more and more sure that this wolf was not driven out of the pack by the head wolf because of the failure of the competition, but because the wolf pack was destroyed, and it was the only one that survived.

There's a good chance it's a surviving wolf!

Gavin was secretly glad at his decision.

This wolf is very smart, it is likely that it has just witnessed the whole battle between itself and the wolves, and knows that it is not easy to mess with, so it will not be too greedy.

It does not risk fighting with itself.

A surviving head wolf, a smart head wolf, understands the preciousness of life even more.

Gavin prepared to leave far away, and the lone wolf did not interfere with each other.

You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the lone wolf raise its head sharply and look towards the west.

At the same time, a feathered arrow struck through the air and shot the lone wolf in the left leg!
