"System, it's a special case now, isn't it?" said Brunei Darussalam, suppressing the fear in his heart, and even in his heart he seemed to be calm, "Listen." Determine the approximate number of wolves, the distance of the nearest wolf, the distribution direction, and the movement speed. ”

[Hmm...... All right. Listening Check: 54>25, failed. The excessively frequent howls make it difficult to distinguish the difference between each one, and they seem to be everywhere to you, and you can be sure that the location of the wolves with the most barks is about fifty to a hundred meters below the hillside. As for the speed of movement - you have no way of judging. 】

"Hmph, useless stuff. That being said, it was to be expected that a mere 25 percent of the listeners would fail, so he didn't dwell too much on it, "Observe the trails they may leave behind when they move or gather." ”

[Reconnaissance verification: 60=60, successful.] There was calm all around, and it seemed that the impression that the demon wolf would not leave footprints was correct. 】

"Although the crimping was successful, it didn't mean anything special. Brunei shook his head a little dissatisfied, and said, "Miss-although I am a guard, but in the current situation, I hope you can also be ready for battle." ”

Scarly bit her lower lip, then laughed, straightened her waist, clenched her hands into fists, and lightly touched her chest: "Of course, I didn't really want you to be a guard." Don't think I'm just a mage apprentice, so you can look down on me casually. ”

"Well, I hope you stay vigilant. "The first step in the battle is for us to see the wolf." I'm going to prepare a 30-second spell while we retreat to the edge of the jungle, the open area is not good for the spell I'm going to cast, and it can cause us to be vulnerable to the back. ”

Scarly nodded vigorously, "Understood." Don't worry, I'll help you in case of danger. ”

Brunei raised his eyebrows, then nodded, raised his hands, and wrapped his arms around his neck, looking quite odd. The tragic image of Kailan's death before undoubtedly caused him a lot of irritation.

"Well, you're—" Scarly looked dumbfounded, but in the middle of her sentence she heard the sound of Brunei chanting a spell, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she stopped trying to speak to disturb him, and her right hand grasped a short knife at her waist.

The wolf howls are still coming and going, but the distance is getting closer.

The two of them looked around warily, slowly backing back, of course, they didn't know what the use of looking around, but the unsuspecting threat that it meant to turn around and run without looking at it was unacceptable to either of them.

[Level 1 spell "Mist Creation", which consumes 6 MP; Adds 25 seconds of special chant, using the Super Magic Skill "Forced Upgrade" to increase "Mist Making" to level 2, consuming 6X(2+1) = 18MP.】 Use the Emblem of Magic to unleash the Magic Skill "Concentration", which currently lasts for 15 seconds and consumes 40MP. Extra MP = 83/500. 】

Brunei turned on "full attention" when he was singing for 10 seconds, although it was just in case, but in the blink of an eye, 64 standard units evaporated in the world and still made him feel a pain in his heart. Fortunately, with "full attention", even if he is slightly distracted, it will not interfere with the normal operation of his mental power when casting spells.

They gradually retreated to the same place they had walked before, and there was also wolf howling in this direction, but it was relatively rare. The demon wolf that could have been invisible didn't need these dead trees to hide its body, and in times of crisis, Brunei could also directly set fire to force the demon wolf back, and at the same time ask for support. From any point of view, there is nothing wrong with his decision-making.

However, since it is not a perfect plan, the expected bad things will always happen.

There was a sharp pain in his lower back. When he looked down, there was no expected blood gushing, just a blood clot floating in the air stained a somewhat mutilated wolf head.

[You are bitten by a demon wolf and receive 1D6 = 5 damage.] Current status: HP=6/11, MP=8/8, additional MP=83/500. 】

Brunei did his best to suppress the intense pain coming from his waist, but the bite was deep and solid, and the writhing pain continued, and after four seconds the blood-stained wolf's head left him, taking with him a large piece of flesh, he realized that he had suffered much more than the small piece he had been bitten in the first place.

The crimson blood gushed out, staining the attacking demon wolf red, and when he looked down, the wound on his waist was also bright red viscera beating, but fortunately he didn't seem to be injured - then he felt that it seemed to be a little black inside, and in a panic, fine cold sweat gushed out like a pulp, seeping into the wound, and producing a fresh sense of pain. It was only then that he realized that it was not what was blackened in his body, but his own vision. He didn't know for a moment whether to be relieved or panicked.

[When the chanting action ends, "Concentration" will automatically end, lasting 20 seconds, and no new consumption will be added.] 】

The water vapor condenses in the air and quickly turns into a thick fog. Brunei himself was a little stunned, and it took a few seconds to realize that he hadn't even thought of screaming as he struggled to fight the pain that almost overwhelmed his consciousness, and his mouth was chanting incantations as if they were completely unrelated to his consciousness.

He grinned, almost laughing, but let out an uncontrollable scream: "Hmm, ah, ah!"

[You take electric current damage and lose 1 HP, remaining HP=5/11.] 】

Brunei gasped and regained consciousness in the cold voice of the system's machinery, and then unexpectedly found that the pain was no longer as strong as before, and looked at his waist suspiciously, the huge wound still sent chills down his spine, and it was covered with a slender hand stained red with blood, which was completely white and delicate.

"Paralyzing the senses, you're welcome. In the thick fog, Scarly's voice came, and the strange color of the clothes that seemed to be smeared with paint cylinders could not be seen clearly, and the blurred black shadow gave Brunei a thumbs up, and he almost saw the handsome smile on her face.

Brunei's face flushed, but it should be impossible to be detected under the mask and the thick fog, and immediately, in order to erase the embarrassing feeling in his heart, he shouted excitedly: "You're welcome, I'm going to die if I come a few more times!"

"Hmph, unconscionable fellow!" Scarly scolded, but Brunei seemed to hear the laughter.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Scarly's figure, interrupting their conversation: "Be careful!"

"Ahh "Whew-" Somehow, the demon wolf that had flown out for a short section let out a long, desolate howl of unknown meaning.

"It's dangerous. Scarly patted her chest and sighed, "I can actually see it, it's amazing." ”

"Nothing. Brunei smiled, not very smug and explained, "The illustrated book mentions that the stealth ability of demon wolves requires the cooperation of sunlight, and even they prefer to hunt during the day. This means that the stronger the light, the better their stealth, so, as long as the sunlight is blocked to some extent—"

"Hmm. Brunei's eyes darkened again, and he sat down on the ground.

"What's wrong with you, are you alright!" Scarly ran over in a panic and hugged Bruneisi, "Why are you so cold-I just used 'paralyzing consciousness' instead of 'healing wounds'!

“...... Oh, it's kind of stupid......" Brunei breathed heavily, sweat pouring out of his body like a spring.

[The bleeding effect is not restored in time, losing 1 HP, remaining HP=4/11.] 】

"Tsk......" Brunei smacked his lips, his eyes turned black for a while, and he whispered, "It's really unlucky, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Out of nowhere, Scarly pulled out a roll of bandages, and shouted angrily at Brunei's wound, "I said it was 'paralyzing consciousness'!

It was obviously a complaint, but in the end, she was a little crying.

[Hmm...... Because I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you need to be reminded of such obvious bleeding. 】

In contrast, the system is as unsalty as ever. The corners of Bruneisi's mouth curled slightly: "The soul is faint." ”

"Huh, you-" Scarly was scolded inexplicably, and was about to say something in annoyance, when Brunei suddenly raised his hand and jerked him aside, "What are you doing?!"

[Evasion check: 4660, Failed.] 】

"I rub. Brunei scolded again, "Is this going to die?" ”

The shadow fell towards Brunei and pounced on him, Brunei closed his eyes and waited for death, but the feeling of death didn't seem to be strong - at least it didn't break the boundaries of Scarly's "paralyzing perception". Brunei opened his eyes again, only to find that the black shadow was lying a little too upright, and the wolf kiss was still above his nose.

[Very weak, you were smashed and lost 1 HP.] Remaining HP = 3/11. 】

“...... This is the first time I've really been 'beaten' so badly......" Brunei subconsciously laughed before resuming his reaction, "Speaking of which, this guy is- has you liked me?"

Hot blood spilled on his neck, and the girl's somewhat arrogant voice sounded: "It's dead." What's going on in your head!"

Scarly pulled a short knife from the demon wolf's neck, kicked its corpse away from Brunei's body, and leaned down to look at Brunei's body: "Lightning Strike Technique." Plus a knife. You're welcome. ”

"Heh......" Brunei snorted and took a lot of effort to catch his breath again, "Seriously, if you come three more times, I'm really going to die." ”
