Chapter 020: Black Beast

After Grant initially succeeded in matching the Burst Potion, he continued to make all the other herbs into the Burst Potion, and he knew that this time he went to the Gaynyi Forest, the Burst Potion was definitely one of his killer features

During the preparation period, he also found time to learn the Burning Hand, and for offensive spells, black-robed mages had a natural advantage, they were more suitable for combat than white-robed mages.

After Grant sorted out these trivial matters, it took him two and a half days.

Three days later.

Lush, full of trees and terrifying beasts, the edge of the Gainilyn is located.

Wearing a silver chain mail and a black robe, Grant looked up into the depths of the forest, and his expression remained unchanged and he plunged into it. This time, he planned to find a few level 5 demonic beasts, and while it was convenient to upgrade, he was looking for suitable blood and limbs. Of course, he also had to look for the herbs that the emir liked.

Somewhere in the Gainyi Forest.

Several mercenaries walked on the ground with the foliage, four men and one woman, each wearing a heavy piece of armor and holding a two-handed greatsword or a cross-sword. Their strong muscles have a hint of the fierce aura unique to Prosperous Fire City.

Among the three male mercenaries, there is a mercenary with withered grass, curly hair and huge eyes, who is undoubtedly Conrad, who had met Grant in the first place. He was talking to the two majestic female mercenaries among the five mercenaries, each with a hint of excitement and laughing loudly.

"We were lucky enough to hunt down a lot of Grisu wolves this time, and I believe that when we go back and sell them, there will be another twenty or so gold coins, and everyone can go to the tavern and have fun. Of course, Nefer, you can't go. ”

The mercenary captain Martinez laughed wildly, and the people around him couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

He didn't even get the job done so easily anytime soon. Today, I don't know why, but he was so lucky, there were no wild beasts chasing them along the way, and he also got something very valuable, which is also a point that makes him happy.

Martinez resembles the blood of the Vesians, so his skin is rough, but surprisingly his facial features are very delicate, at this time a pair of eyes are fixed on the black cobblestone in his hand, it is emitting a faint black halo, Martinez knows exactly what it is, but he understands that this is not a mortal thing, if he sells it, he may be able to make some money.

The mercenaries who followed behind didn't know about the black cobblestone, at this moment Conrad smiled among the mercenaries, he was very happy, this time the luck was indeed good, usually they couldn't get so many prey, and no one was injured, it was a rare day of good luck.

In the silent forest where they were walking, the breeze on both sides ceased, and the tall conifers made an eerie gargling of leaves. And the black cobblestone that Martinez kept in his waist pouch was exuding a vague aura, and they transmitted through the air to the black beasts hundreds of miles away. None of these special circumstances were noticed by a group of mercenaries, who were talking and laughing loudly about the prey they had encountered today.

In the depths of the gray forest, four beasts covered in black mist slowly walked out of the grass, they had the appearance of a giant wolf, their eyes were red, and in the deepest part of their eyes, three tiny lightning bolts were marked inside. Thick limbs, near the end of the claws, are covered with dangerous red barbs. The slender black whip on the tail swept the air, emitting a strange mist.

Suddenly, they felt the fluctuations in the air, and the four pairs of red eyes became more and more delicate, beating with a curling red light.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

The four black beasts turned into black streamers and pounced in the direction of the black cobblestone.

…………

A piece of grass on the edge.

Conrad followed the captain, and they still walked forward, with a hint of relaxation in their eyes, and everyone was in a good mood. They had passed here, even if they were about to evacuate the area of the Gainyi Forest.

"Whew~~

Under the grass on their edge, there were four black mist beasts, their bodies completely blending with the dark environment around them, their red eyes were half-narrowed, and their whole bodies were in a state of false sleep, they were waiting, waiting for an opportunity to ambush all the mercenaries such as Conrad.

There was a mercenary who was more familiar with Conrad, and when he was bored walking on the grass, when he stepped on it, he suddenly felt something wrong, and he was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, a black streamer of light rushed towards him.

"It's not good, it's dangerous." The mercenary's original smile mixed with a hint of doubt was suddenly replaced by fear, his eyes were like owls in the middle of the night, his pupils were full of horror, and his pupils reflected a black beast that was gradually enlarged, and before he could react, he felt a piece of flesh torn from his body by the monster, and the intense pain stimulated his nerves, and he screamed bitterly.

"Ah~~~"

He roared desperately, and the other four mercenaries, including Conrad, all subconsciously turned their heads to see their extremely familiar teammates, and a half-head hole appeared in their chests.

"Oh, damn it. The brutes killed John. Martinez cursed in a low voice, he didn't expect to be attacked by a beast as he left the Gainyi Forest. He forcibly held back the fear and anger in his heart, and relied on his years of combat experience to make him subconsciously pick up the two-handed giant sword in his hand and prepare to attack.

"Roar~~"

The black beast let out a low and muffled roar, opened its fangs and tore off a piece of bright red tender flesh from John's body and swallowed it into his stomach, the remaining blood dripped down the teeth and fell to the ground, and several other black monsters also had hostile and bloodthirsty eyes at this time, throwing themselves at Conrad and the others' team.

"Brothers, I am at the front, you are behind me, and we will avenge John." Martinez's face flushed, obviously understanding that this was the most dangerous time in the past few years, they had encountered wild beasts before, and no one had died, but this time he didn't expect to be dealt with as soon as he met and killed a companion. All the companions were a little frightened.

He knew that he had to get all his companions to get their momentum up as soon as possible, and rushed over with a roar in his mouth. He was very confident, after all, he had the strength of a quasi-knight, and he believed that it would not be a problem to deal with some beasts on the periphery.

Others had been struck by lightning earlier, and their minds were blank. At this time, seeing the captain rushing out first, they all poured out their hopeful eyes. They knew that the captain was very strong, and they believed that he would be able to deal with this group of beasts. Thinking of this, they also picked up the cross sword in their hands and wanted to step forward to help.

"Burial with John, damned brutes."

The captain roared, picked up the two-handed giant sword and slashed at the closest monster, when he was jumping up, three black monsters covered in the wind pounced on Martinez in unison, and in a flash of light, Martinez's head was bitten off by the black beast closest to him. The stunned face remained on his head, and Martinez's head rolled into the distance.

The Black Beast took out Martinez with a single blow, a powerful man close to a quasi-knight!

"Hiss~~"

Everyone gasped and their eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening in front of them.

"How is it possible, the captain has a strength close to that of a quasi-knight, even an ordinary quasi-knight (level three) can't defeat him under the outbreak, how can this be."

"What the hell are these black beasts, how come I've never seen them before."

"God willing, hopefully we can make it through."

The remaining three people, including Conrad, were all breathless, their hearts were cold, and their originally high emotions were like being poured with a bucket of extremely cold water, and their hands and feet were cold in an instant. All shrouded in fear, they knew that they were not the captain's opponents, and now that even the captain was killed in seconds, then they had almost no chance of winning.
