The catboy landed on the ground with a backward flip, followed by a volley somersault on the trunk of a tree behind him. But just when he wanted to repeat his old trick and borrow strength from the trunk, he only heard a "rattle" - it turned out that the dead tree chosen by the cat boy was not lifeless because of winter, but had already died completely.

The trunk of the tree that has lost its vitality has been eaten out of a hornet's nest by termites before. If it is not affected by external forces, with the last tenacity of the plant, this dead wood may be able to continue to stand there for a while. It's a pity that Lalu's volley completely destroyed all possibilities - if at any other time, Lalu would not have made such a serious error of judgment. But who let this be the middle of winter when everything withered? Whether it's dead wood or normal vegetation, it looks pretty much the same at this point.

Such an accident made Lalu, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly empty. With this sudden imbalance of center of gravity, his whole person has a tendency to fall backwards. Fortunately, the cat boy has a lot of experience in carrying out this kind of leaping action, and the system is strong enough to correct the cat man in these aspects.

With that advantage, Lalu got up and rolled backwards and fell onto the snow. With the help of the snow with good cushioning capacity, it succeeded in unloading some shocks. However, because of the mistake of the cat boy just now, he left the anvil alone in the encirclement - at this time, the dwarf's iron gloves were almost soaked with sweat. Although the temperature was high enough for the river to form ice crusts, the sweat glands of the anvil were still working nervously.

Barrett, who noticed that something was wrong, knocked his feet lightly and immediately activated the acceleration effect on his boots. This vain speed was obviously beyond the expectations of those werewolves, and one of the black-haired men who had originally planned to besiege the dwarves facing Barrett had to clench the battle axe in his hand and prepare to return to the defense.

The repeatedly forged tomahawk did not have the effect it should have. The blade in Barrett's hand bypassed the sturdy axe surface, and directly cut off the teak-made axe handle directly with one side cut. Immediately after that, Barrett adjusted his wrist slightly, and slashed at the werewolf's wrist in a castrated manner.

The splashing blood flowers immediately reflected the snowflakes falling from the sky, and even the two were intertwined, forming a dance of red and white hairyflies. The coating of the 'alchemy' solution stimulated the beastman's wounds, and the faint sound of 'sizzling' from there seemed to indicate that it was preventing the werewolf's otherwise amazing ability to recover.

Even the severe pain of the wound did not make the black wolf in front of him flinch, but further aroused his ferocity. Having lost his weapon and a wolf claw, he immediately swung his other empty sharp claw and struck Barrett at the neck. Perhaps in the hearts of the werewolves in front of him, only by attacking this part can he pose a deadly threat to the big man in front of him.

But even if he is a stunned young man who has just entered the battlefield, he instinctively knows how to protect his vital points. And Barrett, who has experienced a lot of battles, is even more unlikely to let the 'beast' in front of him succeed. However, he did not choose to back down, but stepped forward suddenly. Immediately afterwards, the force in his hand backhanded the old 'Broken Peak'.

At this moment, the instinct from the wild nature and the instinct to survive made the legs muscles of the werewolf in front of him spontaneously mobilize. Immediately after that, the original forward action stopped suddenly, and while the legs were pressed forward, the upper body was even more backward in every possible way. With such timely self-rescue, only a row of blood beads were brought out along with the cold light of 'Broken Peak', and there were no corners of minced meat and internal organs as Barrett had expected.

Sure enough, these werewolves are more difficult to deal with than ordinary soldiers! Barrett, who couldn't even make two cuts, couldn't help but curse in his heart. And the big black wolf, who had finally saved his life, was beating faster than he could have done at this time - the experience of just walking through the ghost gate was destined to make any intelligent creature unforgettable for a lifetime.

This werewolf, who had a broken wolf claw and a scar across his chest and abdomen, found that he was a good member of his own clan, and he almost became the first drop of blood that was taken away today - although the werewolf who was knocked to the ground by Lalu before was not lightly injured, with the strength of this race, he had recovered a certain combat strength after a simple self-bandaging. The werewolf who was smashed on the ground by the anvil had a somewhat dazed brain under the impact of the weight, but there was no danger to his life.

"Sonorous!" Just when Barrett easily gained the upper hand, the anvil not far away was in danger. The 35-pound steel shield had barely withstood a werewolf flail collision before Ancient Virtue parried the machete.

After the initial collision, the dwarf realized that the power of these werewolves in front of him was not below him. If he was directly slashed by the opponent with a heavy weapon, he would not feel good even if he was wearing full body armor - his body, which had just begun to petrify, could not withstand such a tossing back and forth!

Therefore, at this time, the dwarf could only move his steps carefully, and at the same time turned his shield and war hammer into two iron gates, one left and one right, to protect his vital parts. Fortunately, although those werewolves are fierce, they don't seem to be very good at cooperating. Obviously, the number of people is not small, but every time they attack the dwarves at the same time, there are always only 1 or 2.

So the anvil didn't suffer any serious injuries except for being smashed on the shoulder by the opponent's flail bypassing the shield. But even this kind of damage has already affected the use of the shield by the anvil, and I am afraid that it will really become a weakness for him after a long time.

At this moment, Barrett noticed that the werewolf who had just escaped from his sword suddenly slowed down - the 'speed of the west wind' from Claudia successfully restrained the beast's ferocity. The reason why the real master chose this guy as his first target, instead of controlling the werewolves who attacked the dwarves to save him. It is the belief that Barrett will be able to resolve the battle in a short period of time, thereby removing the threat to the dwarves.

Since his teammates believe in him so much, Barrett naturally has no reason to disappoint his teammates. The werewolf, who was already wounded, rolled on the snow with a wolf head under the wielding broadsword, which stained the white snow with a red streak.

After defeating an enemy, Barrett kicked the corpse that stood in his way, and immediately rushed towards the location of the anvil. And after discovering the huge threat here, the werewolves left two to continue to surround the dwarves, and the rest of the land surrounded Barrett.

Just as they were about to make contact with Barrett, a fireball that pierced through the treetops suddenly exploded here. The raging flames swept away the snow under everyone's feet in an instant, and everyone present felt an unbearable burning sensation.

Faced with the heat wave spitting tongues of fire, each werewolf subconsciously covered his face and began to staggered to try to dodge. Barrett, who saw this scene, secretly raised the corners of his mouth under the helmet. In fact, the use of this tactic, like throwing the anvil with the 'telekinetic charge' just now, is the result of the player's persistence in tactical drills during this time.

Barrett has a 'flash' protector and spell resistance of his own. Therefore, under the cover of spells such as Fireball, the impact is quite limited. So in the past, when Rieli was smashing the fireball, she basically didn't care much about whether he would be injured by mistake.

And now the players have taken advantage of this advantage even further - first let Barrett use his strong burst to attract the attention of the enemy. If you can break the enemy's morale in this way, then everyone will be happy. However, if the main force of the enemy is attracted to form a formation to encircle and suppress them, Rielly can take the opportunity to use the fireball to teach them how to behave.

In other words, it's a simple tactic built with Barrett as bait. However, although this tactic of luring the snake out of the hole is simple to say, it is a great test of the cooperation of both sides and the grasp of timing in actual use. And because there is a lot of danger when practicing (especially for sparring partners), you can only continue to gain experience in actual combat.

Of course, judging from this performance, the cooperation between the two is not bad. As the werewolves screamed at the power of the fireballs, Barrett ignored the stinging pain in his brow and tore open the churning flames with a wave of 'Broken Peak'. The tremendous force that seemed like a boulder tumbling down from the top of a mountain crushed the werewolf's skull in an instant.

The red and white fountain and the charred fur add some unusual color to this drab snowy landscape. Barrett, who had completed the double kill, kicked hard with his legs, and the centrifugal rotation seemed to blow a 'steel whirlwind' in the center of the fireball.

With this dazzling arc of cold light, the werewolves shrouded in fireballs were not only fur and smoke, but also bloody. By this time, they had realized how wrong they had chosen to besiege Barrett in the first place, and they all wagged their tails and began to distance themselves from the tall guy in front of them.

"Smack-" A 'watermelon tightened by a rubber band' exploded like this. The corpse of the werewolf who lost its head actually struggled for a while with its tenacious vitality, waving its limbs. Then he collapsed stiffly in the snow. The halfling wanderer, hiding in the shadows, lightly lowered his crossbow and began to wind his rocker arm.

The dual effects of the 'Silver Alchemy' potion and the 'Enemy Breaker (Human) allow Noodles to have a lethal threat when dealing with these werewolves. Although Rielly has said before, 'Enemy Breaker (Human) is ineffective against creatures like beasts. But that's just a certain mage himself who is not proficient in his skills, and there is a problem with the knowledge appraisal. Although the life form of bestials changes, this is only the addition of a subspecies of "shapeshifters" on top of the basal organisms. The actual base creature type doesn't change, so the effect of Arrow Breaker won't be diminished in the slightest.

On the other hand, the combat power of these werewolves in front of them seems to be stronger than the centurion of Lucia's local troops. Completely in line with the criteria of a high-value target, it is not a waste to harvest such a life with a 'Enemy Breaker (Human)'.

Not long after the battle began, there was a succession of deaths, which was a bit unexpected by the werewolves. It was not without them in their previous careers that they had experienced battles - whether it was against the greedy tax collectors in Lucia, or the various anti-bandit battles they participated in after being co-opted. These werewolves have gained the upper hand time and time again, thanks to their strong physique and the various advantages conferred by the shape-shifting creatures. While brutally clearing their targets, their own casualties are pitifully small.

It is precisely because of the victories in Lucia that these werewolves have a high level of self-confidence. This is the reason why they rushed up regardless of the fact that the cat boy had a responder just now. Because in their philosophy, as long as they are not numerically superior enemies, and there is no obvious advantage in size, they must be able to take it easily.

It's a pity that the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group in front of them has successfully taught these werewolves what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky. Let them understand that there are many things in this world that they do not understand. And in the face of such a huge gap, a kind of fear immediately arose in the hearts of the werewolves in front of him.

The fear of the 'unknown' drove their legs back and forth—and these guys, who had just been full of momentum, spread their legs and began to flee in the blink of an eye. A few of them even threw away the weapons in their hands, and completely changed from the half-wolf, half-human werewolf form to a big wild wolf on all fours. Then, in a few jumps and runs, it disappeared from the player's sight.

Snowflakes falling from the sky, branches covering each other - the environment in front of you is not suitable for tracking enemies. Even if those who escaped left footprints in the snow, werewolves with wild animal jungle warfare experience are not so easy to hunt.

In case the time drags on for too long and attracts the attention of the fortress side, let the other party send a large army to search. Even with the player's current strength, it can be very troublesome. So after chasing a few steps and finding it difficult to keep the werewolves, Barrett stopped.

Then he stretched out his hand to stop his companion who wanted to continue the pursuit: "Prepare to transfer!" After this battle, even if the location of our previous camp is not immediately revealed, it will become the focus of Lucia's investigation. So the top priority now is to find a place that is a little more hidden. (To be continued.) )
