Chapter 5: Weird
Chapter 5
"It's the Earth Storm!"
"Damn! How could there be such a monster in this place? And it's still 3 at a time!"
"But don't let these big guys rush in!
After a short period of panic, the mercenaries and guards immediately set up a position and stopped the three brown bears more than two meters tall on the periphery.
Although these brown bears are strong, they are also mobile vaults, and their fur, blood, and magic cores are all shiny gold coins for these mercenaries and guards!
Of course, thanks to Claude's reminder, everyone had a warning in their hearts, otherwise this kind of change would be enough for them to be in a hurry.
"Captain Marko, send someone to keep an eye on these monsters, don't let them spoil the goods of the Chamber of Commerce. ”
The corners of Claude's mouth curled slightly, and he said to Marco.
"Hmph!" Marco didn't expect to be reminded of the warning by Claude, a layman, and what was even more hateful was that he had laughed at Claude in public before, and now it seems that it is really embarrassing.
Therefore, Marco could only suffer this loss and silently rushed over to command the other guards and mercenaries.
On the left, the nearest dozen mercenaries have quickly surrounded several brown angry bears that are roaring in the sky. A few battle mages who wanted to eat the first bite of soup also wanted to take advantage of the anger of these brown bears, but as soon as they got close, they were forced to retreat by the angry bears, and one of the unlucky people couldn't retreat, and was directly slapped in the arm by this angry demonic beast, and the whole person flew out, if it wasn't for a few archers who responded in time, it is estimated that the slap would be directly slapped on the mercenary's head.
Although the Earth Storm Bear is only equivalent to the strength of an 'Intermediate Star Mage', these magical beasts have always been known for their rough skin and thick flesh. In addition, most of the guards and mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce this time are 'junior star mages', including Brian, an outsider.
Intermediate and beginner level sound not much different, but in actual combat, there is a world of difference.
In the case of Brian's petrified magic, the function of a junior star mage is only to make the body as hard as stone, but the intermediate star mage can directly turn the entire body into rock. The former is 'analog' at best, but the latter can already be called 'becoming'.
And like the mercenaries hired by the Chamber of Commerce, most of them don't have the so-called enhanced magic, all they can do is to attach the small amount of mana they have accumulated on their bodies to the weapons in their hands, so that their power can be increased a little.
Therefore, except for Marco's side to suppress the earth storm bear in the convoy, the other places can only temporarily use wheel battles to consume the physical strength of these earth brown bears.
So for a while, the caravan could only stalemate there.
"How did the Earth Storm Bear end up here?"
At this time, Brian didn't choose to make a move, but thought about the reason.
Don't forget, the original owner of Brian's body is a scholar of Odin Academy, and he doesn't dare to say that he is in the entire Grimm Province, but in this Odin City and the surrounding area, it can be said that he knows what magical beasts will appear everywhere.
And now, here is less than a day's distance from Odin City, he has encountered three powerful monsters, if it is a coincidence, Brian does not believe it.
Could it really be that something happened in the Warcraft Forest?
Brian was a little distracted here, but the three brown bears over there had already forced the others to jump.
Because these three brown bears somehow continued to be angry, they didn't care about the mercenaries or guards who came up together, but chose to fight desperately by exchanging injuries for injuries.
"These monsters, what's going on?"
Brian looked at it intently, but at this moment, the world in front of him suddenly changed!
The moving air lost speed, and in Brian's vision, the world seemed to be frozen in this second. The unknown snickering on Marco's face, the different expressions and reactions of the mercenaries and guards, all seemed to be sealed in an oil painting.
In front of these, several earth storm bears suddenly lit up with a few black points of light, these light spots appeared in different positions on the earth storm bears, but without exception they were the size of fists.
"What is this?"
Brian's eyes widened as he tried to see what the dots of light were, but time had regained speed.
The mercenaries are still fighting against the Earth Storm, and Marco and several guards are also unable to work on the other side.
And the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead told him that what he had just seen was not an illusion.
"Harry, borrow your bow and arrows. Brian seemed to think of something and said to Harry beside him.
"Bow and arrow?" Harry didn't know what Brian wanted his bow and arrow for, but he handed it to him as soon as he could.
He didn't think that Brian was planning to use the arrows to injure the Earth Storm Bears.
At first, these monsters had not yet fought with the mercenary guards, and they might be able to interfere with these monsters with long-range shots. But if you want to shoot the earth storm bear in the current melee, it is simply as difficult as the sky.
Harry just thought so, only to see Brian pull his bowstring without hesitation, catch the arrow, and aim at the nearest Earth Storm Bear!
"Wait a minute. Harry was taken aback, this situation, let alone shooting at the target, was able to injure allies without mistake, it was already thankful.
"Whoosh!"
But Brian didn't seem to hear Harry's dissuasion. He let go of the bowstring with his right hand, and the arrow, like a meteor in the sky, was nailed to the left shoulder of the Earth Storm Bear in Harry's astonished gaze!
"Whew!"
The Earth Storm Bear, who had always acted as if he was invulnerable, was shot by Brian's arrow and roared in pain, and his eyes were even more fixed on Brian for a moment.
But Brian didn't pay attention to the hatred in the eyes of the Earth Storm Bear, because he had already mounted the second sharp arrow, and his target this time was a point on the right thigh of the Earth Storm Bear, and at the same time, it was also a spot of black light that he had just seen.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow rang out and pierced the thigh of the Earth Storm Bear effortlessly!
"Whew!"
The Earth Storm Bear roared again, and then rushed towards Brian without hesitation!
"Stop it!"
Seeing that Brian's two arrows injured this difficult Earth Storm Bear, the rest of the mercenaries were naturally mentally shocked, and the strength against the Earth Storm Bear intensified a lot.
The Earth Storm Bear was stopped by the mercenary guards in two or three clicks, and because of the two arrows shot by Brian, it became very sluggish.
"Whew!" the Earth Storm Bear smacked his heart twice more, and then was slashed to the ground by several mercenaries.
What's even more bizarre is that after this earthstorm bear fell, the rest of the earthstorm let out a terrible roar, and then one by one they seemed to have exhausted all the strength in their bodies, and they also fell one after another.
Not only that, but after the death of these Earth Storm Bears, their corpses quickly dried up like deflated balls.
"This?"
Even Claude was stunned to see such a scene of thunder and rain.
However, in the eyes of a businessman, trouble is always good as long as it is gone.
"Fix the queue and see if there's anything going on with the cargo. Claude was still directing the crowd, but there was a sudden commotion on the left side of the group.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the noise, Claude looked at it.
But he saw Brian and several mercenaries arguing with Marco's guards.
"That's it, why do you let you choose all these monster trophies first?" several mercenaries chimed in beside Brian.
"What do you mean! These are the rules of our Black Iron Rose Chamber of Commerce!" Marco pushed away a mercenary who stood in front of him and strode towards the corpse of the Earth Storm.
"The rules of fart!, why haven't I heard of it?" The mercenary who was pushed away was also hot-tempered, and stepped forward to stop Marko: "Why should the earth storm bear that Lao Tzu worked so hard to kill cheaper for you guys?"
"Why?" Mar looked at the mercenary coldly, and then slammed his hand to lift the other party's whole person, and his whole body instantly lit up with a faint green light.
"My fist is bigger than yours!" Marco said, holding the mercenary in one hand, scanning the circle before finally staring at Brian and pointing at him.
"What are you doing!
The other mercenaries didn't expect Marco to make a sudden move. At this time, seeing that mercenary turned into a purple face, he subconsciously rushed up!
"What are you doing? Do you want to do something to our Chamber of Commerce?"
Evan and several of Marko's guards immediately drew their long swords and protected them around Marko.
Seeing this, several mercenaries also hesitated for a while.
The Black Iron Rose Chamber of Commerce can be said to be a behemoth to these scattered mercenaries, and at this moment, the strength of their mercenaries is not at all the opponent of their Chamber of Commerce guards.
"Humph!"
Of course, Marco wouldn't really kill anyone, so he shook off the mercenaries who were already out of breath, looked at a few mercenaries with contempt, and then turned his head to Brian and said, "I don't want to think about my own catties, and dare to point fingers at us!"
"Hmph! I really think that you are a student of the Odin Academy, and you are a noble master?
After speaking, he walked to the corpses of several Earth Storm Bears, directly picked out the demon core and a few of the most valuable parts on the corpses of the demonic beasts, and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry, Brian, I ......" At this time, Claude stepped forward, looked at Brian apologetically, and stopped talking.
Although Brian said that he would go to Fire Wolf Town with him on the way, Claude knew that although Brian was a student of the Seventh Academy, his strength was much stronger than that of ordinary one-star star mages, and Brian was a well-known scholar, not so much that he took the ride of the Black Iron Rose Chamber of Commerce, but that Claude invited a free field encyclopedia to escort the team.
"It's okay, Uncle Claude, aren't they just a few magic cores?" Brian squinted his eyes and looked in the direction Marco and the others left, and replied lightly.
Of course, he wasn't as breezy as he appeared on the surface, he just didn't want to delay his time to participate in the academy because of these trivial matters.
Moreover, the strange and violently killed monster in front of him was so weird that Brian had to secretly guard against possible enemies.
I hope it's my delusion.
