"Crystal Beast" does not refer to a special animal race, nor is it a metaphorical noun, but a general term for some animals that have been modified by alchemy.

In the premise of Ferdia, the Alchemist is a non-adventurous class that has advanced from the premise of basic classes such as commoners or nobles, and is not very capable of fighting, but has excellent knowledge of alchemy, and can use various tools and materials to create many alchemy-related game items in the Atelier Alchemist.

Alchemists can process magic crystals that wizards usually use to store mana, and once they are used to feed animals for a long time, they will infect animals that have consumed them for a long time with a disease called crystallization, thus strengthening them from ordinary beasts to magical creatures - also known as crystal beasts.

Crystallized Crystal Beasts that mutate from crystallization will not evolve directly from ordinary creatures to elite creatures, but will receive a level increase of 2 levels, and will receive a corresponding trait based on the original race of the creature.

For example, the Grey-sideed Wolf - the Crystal Beast produced by the wolf as the training object, after crystallizing into a magical creature, usually obtains a racial specialty that is more effective than stealth skills, so that this type of Crystal Beast can even be domesticated as an animal scout in the wars of later generations, so as to indirectly promote the tactical reform of various countries and regions along the coast of the St. Furan Sea.

This may be one of the reasons why the adventurers of the Sideburns Adventure Group failed to spot this group of forest beasts during their night vigil.

The gray sideburns wolf that mutated into a magic crystal beast due to crystallization has obviously become a group of tricky enemies for the adventurers of the sideburns adventure group, after all, the gray sideburns wolf was originally level 4, and after being strengthened by crystallization, they all became level 6 creatures, and the average level of adventurers was only about level 7.

A vicious battle is inevitable.

"Finn!" Arya's voice suddenly returned to the young man's ear.

Fein suddenly came back to his senses, and he looked up to see that the wolves that had surrounded them had begun to launch a full-scale general attack after the first round of temptation.

At a glance, it is roughly estimated that the wolf pack composed of more than forty gray sideburns wolves gathered at high speed towards the prey surrounded by them is a rather spectacular and terrifying scene, and the fight between the adventurers and the wolves soon kicked off in the camp full of blood, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

The young paladin gritted his teeth and used the iron sword in his hand to slash down three wild wolves in succession who tried to pounce on his neck. He glanced back in the other direction where Randolph and the other adventurers were, then turned his face to one of the adventurers of the Sideburns Adventure Group and yelled, "Go tell your captain to bring everyone over and organize them together, and then we'll keep attacking the wolves!" ”

"What did you say?!"

The adventurer who was yelled at by Fein picked up a hand-axe and barely killed a wolf with red-eyed eyes, and was stunned on the spot when he heard Finn's words.

The most basic trust between people is supreme, Mr. Paladin, you seemed to promise last night that you would not use the temporary command of our adventure group to trick us?

But this order you're giving now seems like a suicidal act no matter how you think about it, right?

He thought to himself.

Could it be ...... Do you want to trap us to death, so that you can take advantage of the chaos to break out of here?!

The thought of this spine-chilling possibility sent chills down the spine, and the adventurer shuddered, and even looked at Fein with suspicion and caution.

If the young paladin knew that this member of the Sideburns Adventure Group was actually thinking so, he would probably spurt out a mouthful of old blood at this moment. Then he was speechless and told him loudly that the spirit of the Demon Crystal Beast had long lost the most basic judgment ability of many things due to the torture of the magical energy produced by crystallization for a long time, and many of its actions relied on their own very weak biological instincts, so this group of red-eyed demonized creatures did not look very fierce when biting people, but once they were hit by an organized impact, they would collapse quickly.

This is not baseless nonsense, but the most basic instinct of all living beings is to protect themselves.

Once these gray-sidedled wolves who have collectively demonized into demonic crystal beasts fail to protect themselves, they will soon realize that saving their lives is much more important than eating meat, and the seemingly united atmosphere in the wolves is unlikely to shake their subconscious selfishness in the slightest.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Finn could not have the patience to slowly popularize the experience of the game he knew to this adventurer who had taken him kindly as a donkey's liver and lungs. So I gritted my teeth and added to the latter: "Just do what I say." This group of brutes is not very resistant, Randolph must be able to understand what I mean, otherwise most of your captain's gold-level badge was picked up! ”

"That'...... Then be careful yourself. Seeing that Finn had already said this, the adventurer, who still had some doubts in his heart, hesitated. Then he thought that the final decision was still in the hands of his own leader, so he finally nodded, stammered to let Finn be careful, and then quickly moved towards the place where their head was.

When the Sideburns Adventure Regiment rushed to Randolph's side. The beautiful paladin boy Leah happened to carry the silver sword in his hand and ran towards the young man with Sheen.

"Finn, Finn. Listen to me. The young paladin, who looked like a girl, and the young doctor behind him passed by the adventurer who had run to contact Randolph, and hurriedly shouted at the young man, "Nothing is wrong with these wolves, we-"

"We'll wait for Randolph to come over, and then we'll prepare for a counterattack." Seeing Leah coming, Finn didn't have time to think too much, and forced back a gray-sidedness wolf next to him who was trying to attack Lilith and said, "Leah, Sheehan, you two will follow me in a moment." ”

"But Sheehan is a fighting idiot!" Leah immediately reminded him.

"Then let him go back to the tent first." The young man froze for a moment, then came back to his senses to answer Leah, and motioned for Sheen to go back with his eyes.

The brown-haired young doctor frowned, but his injured arm did mean that he wasn't very good at fighting, and he had nothing to argue with Finn's instructions.

During a brief exchange between the young paladin and his colleagues, Arya was not idle, holding a double-bladed Camusa and a crossbow, and Lilith, a black-haired warlock girl, kept raising her staff to cast arcane missiles to attack the wolves.

The staff Lilith was holding in her hand at this time was the Staff of the Wolf Soul, which was considered a high-quality piece of equipment in the early game and was recovered by Finn in the Void Pocket after the Battle of Azur Harbor, and returned to her after waking up on the lakeside of Hurenger.

Lilith's high-frequency spell casting without chanting combined with the cover provided by Camussa and Arya repelled the wolves' attacks one after another, and if it weren't for Fain's reminder during the day not to use fireball magic in the dense forest, she would have thrown several basin-sized fireballs a few seconds ago and blasted the wolves in front of her into the sky, and by the way, she also set the trees in the dagger dense forest on fire one by one.
