Chapter 68: Hunt down the wolf
This is the monster they have been searching for for days and days without results! With a wolf howl, the wolf monster, which had grown in size and had already broken through its skirt, swung towards Edric. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Too late to stand up, Edric could only force his feet and lean back in an attempt to dodge the blow.
"Thorn-" The grinding of the sharp claws against the chain mail on Edric's chest made a screeching sound, and the force of the force caused him to slide off against the ground, slamming against the door frame.
Seeing that the wolf-monster was about to pounce on himself as soon as he jumped up, Edric raised his hand and shouted.
The air cooled quickly, and a chilling frost bramble rose from the wooden floor, and the branches swooped down on the wolf.
With a light tap on the wall, the goblin dodged the attack of the Ice Thorns.
"Squeak, squeak—" Sharp ice diamonds pierced the wooden walls, enveloping them in the ice.
"Your Excellency!" The garrison appeared at the door with a long sword, and he didn't care about Edric, who was still lying on the ground, and the long sword in his hand stabbed the wolf.
But the wolf monster didn't intend to fight him, maybe she was frightened by the ice thorns just now, maybe she was not as unintelligent as she imagined, and knew that a large number of soldiers would appear later, so the moment the garrison officer appeared, she smashed the window, climbed onto the roof of the opposite house, and disappeared in three or two jumps.
The garrison looked through the window, and when he saw that the wolf-monster was gone, he quickly turned around and helped Edric up.
"Ahem!" In a state of agitation, he forcibly used the three-ring expert-level magic "Ice Thorn" technique, which made Edric cough up a mouthful of blood and his chest was also very stuffy.
Originally, he planned to use the freezing effect of the Ice Thorn to block the wolf's ability to move, but he didn't expect the wolf's huge body to have such a huge body, but he moved so quickly, which made his plan fail.
As the blood coughed up, the ice thorns collapsed violently, and finally turned into a little light and disappeared into the heavens and the earth, leaving no trace, if it weren't for the huge cavern in the wall, I'm afraid no one would believe that someone had used a powerful magic here.
"Hurry up and chase it! It can incarnate as a human! Stopping the guard's meaningless words of concern, Edric yelled angrily.
Packs of silverback wolves roam the streets, and nervous soldiers search from house to house, telling residents not to let anyone into their houses, even the most familiar ones!
Spit out a mouthful of bloodstained phlegm, and Edric felt the armor that had been cut on his chest with palpitations.
At the same time, why did he not think that since the wolf monster had killed Jack, why would he show mercy to the girl who was one step away? It's clear that there is something wrong with this girl!
But now is not the time to be upset, Edric jumped on the wolf and said to the iron-faced Dandy who had been following him, "Hurry up!" I don't want to see any great upheaval in the City of Angels! ”
With that, he smacked his feet on the wolf's belly and ran towards the castle, he needed to release the griffon that had just been domesticated, and use the air advantage to spy on the monster.
Along the way, there were hurried soldiers and alert silverback wolves, and all the residents closed the doors, quietly hiding behind the doors and looking out, looking like they were in chaos.
Riding the wolf directly into the castle, and after coming to the lifting platform to the griffin's lair, Edric knocked the wooden platform wall twice with his fist, and immediately the platform slowly rose with the efforts of the take-off and landing workers.
Beyond the city walls, the take-off and landing planes paused for a moment, and then continued to rise until they came to a complete stop on the artificially built platform on the mountain.
Hurrying to the fence, he opened the cage where the griffin was held and took a few steps back.
The griffin had just been domesticated, and the wild had not yet been fully tamed, and in Edric's plan, it would take about a week to get along with the griffin and continue to deepen the relationship before the griffin could be officially released from the cage.
But now that the situation was urgent, the lord had taken all the griffons that had already been trained, and he had to risk using them in advance.
No sooner had the cage been opened than the griffon scurried forward, slammed open the door that had not yet been fully opened, and ran to the open platform before stopping, tilting his head to look at Edric.
From the griffon's eyes, Edric saw distrust and hesitation, and after a long period of feeding and training, the griffon had initially accepted him, but it was clear that he had not yet fully trusted him.
Cautiously, Edric reached out a hand and tried to caress the griffin's neck. This arrogant, dragon-like creature doesn't just use a whip like a dire wolf is trained to do.
If he hadn't been familiar with the griffin, Edric would have had to bow his head to it and show his respect, and only then could he get his permission.
In the face of Edric's petting, the griffon dodged for a moment, but did not object, and after stroking its neck twice, the griffon narrowed its eyes in enjoyment, which was a sign of letting down its guard for a while.
Edric didn't wait long, he stepped directly onto the back of the griffin, and in the crisp cry, the griffin spread its wings and soared, staring at the city below with its sharp eyes.
High in the air, the entire city was under Edric's eyes, and after inflicting an eagle eye on himself, he immediately spotted the monster fleeing on the rooftop!
A group of silverback wolves howled on the ground, but the wolf beasts who were not good at climbing could not do anything about the roof wolf monsters that had been on the roof.
A few of the intercepting marksmen in front of the wolf-monster climbed onto the roof with difficulty, and by the time they had their crossbow arrows ready, most of them had lost their shooting range, and the slow initial reloading of the heavy crossbow was exposed, leaving them with nowhere to use it on the narrow roof.
Only two marksmen managed to activate their heavy crossbows, and sharp armor-piercing arrows shot at the wolf-goblin with a screech.
Poof--Though the sharp wolf-monster dodged, the swift bolt still struck her right shoulder, missing the tail of the arrow.
The impact of the bolt caused the wolf-goblin to tumble down the street, dodging the other bolt.
After snarling twice at the marksman, the wolf-goblin once again sprang up the street, as if the injury on her shoulder had no effect on her, and she was free from the silverback wolf after passing through the tangled alleys.
A high-pitched eagle cry came from the sky, and the griffin spread its talons, its wings stretched out to the maximum, slowing the momentum of the dive. The sharp eagle grasp reflected the cold light, and it was about to catch the wolf monster. The wolf-monster was short and squeezed through the gap between the two houses into a small square.
