To the north of the steppe is an area infested with wolves, which is already troubled by nomadic herders, and after the energy tide, even the winter wolves, which were extremely rare, become active.

This large white wolf-like magical beast, which is about one meter four or five meters tall at the shoulders when it reaches adulthood, is larger and more intelligent than ordinary wolves or even wolves, has an intelligence close to that of humans, and can master the lingua franca, giant language, and their own language.

In addition to this, they also have the ability to spit cold and are almost immune to cold, and usually hunt in groups of three or five and use strategies to ambush and sneak attack, and are almost the most difficult animals or magical beasts in the north.

After scanning the surroundings as a satellite, Chen soon discovered that the creature was lurking near his road to Frostplain Village, and decisively beckoned Kyle, the Guards, and the Star Folk to come forward to solve it.

Every demographic in the early days of the business is crucial, and it can't be fooled by this group of predators.

"Baron, how many winter wolves have you seen?"

"Four, but I'm not sure if there are more."

The white fur of the winter wolf is so hidden in the snow that it is difficult to see the exact number.

Kyle thought for a moment, with only this amount, it shouldn't be difficult to solve with the cooperation of the warriors of the Goldmane Clan and the people of the stars.

"Then we can kill them all." "The fur of the winter wolves is a natural cold-resistant material, and the cloaks, coats, and shoes made from them are valuable," he proposed. ”

A complete winter wolf skin can be sold for a few hundred gold coins in the south, and a rare silver winter wolf skin can even cost thousands.

In addition to fur, teeth, bones, and meat were also useful, and even if they only hunted one winter wolf, the materials they obtained were enough to eat for half a winter.

"But then you can't attack with fire, and you'll have to be extra distracted during the fight."

"Then try not to let them go while it's safe to do so."

After realizing the value of the winter wolf, Chen's heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground.

I was worried about the winter of so many people, but I didn't expect such a group of winter wolves to come.

It's a newbie package.

I just don't know if it's possible to breed them?

However, when Chen led the group to approach the location of the Winter Wolves' ambush after the caster had used Energy Resistance in advance, the process of extracting the Starter Pack went a little wrong—the number of Winter Wolves ambushing them was as high as seven.

As soon as he penetrated into the encirclement network of the wolves, the winter wolf suddenly sprinted and surrounded more than ten people.

Immediately, they invariably used their housekeeping skills - frozen spitting.

A large amount of extremely cold ice and snow instantly attacked everyone, and even a high-level warrior who ate this move without preparation would inevitably turn into an ice sculpture.

It's probably not enough to rely on the druid's "resistance to energy damage", Kyle is secretly frightened when he sees this, and it is also a shame that the baron has other preparations.

Just before the ice spitting was about to freeze everyone into popsicles, a crisp bell rang, and an iridescent curtain protected them in the middle.

It was the path spell "Rainbow Dome", which was able to greatly resist the corresponding energy damage, and if it weren't for this move that completely restrained the opponent, they wouldn't have made such a risky (seeming) plan.

The raging ice briefly obscured their vision, preventing the winter wolves from detecting their prey's reaction in the first place.

For them, the law north of the steppe is to eat and be eaten, and even orcs are not much better than humans.

This makes them miss out on the best opportunities.

After the ice spitted out, before the winter wolves could eat frantically as usual, they saw the lionmen each roaring and raising their weapons and rushing towards them.

The lion rushes and pounces on the whole round, and the action is like a tide and then a knife, which is a must-try for the lion warriors.

After escaping the threat of the ice spit, the elite warriors supported by Count Robert quickly each inflicted heavy losses on the winter wolves in front of them.

At this life-and-death juncture, the latter, who knew that the hatred between the two sides was irreconcilable, did not say anything to beg for mercy, but instead launched a desperate attack with more and more ferocity.

Their only hope is to delay the time to accumulate the ice spit again, and the opposing caster has no second chance of stopping the spitting spell.

The Winter Wolf, who had been strengthened after the energy tide descended, and could destroy even an entire village, was puzzled.

Hell, how can there be a powerful spellcaster in such a group of orcs!?

After Kyle and the guards lead the charge, the Stellfolk who are a little slower to react join the fight.

Chen, on the other hand, stayed in the middle of the crowd, pinching the second "Rainbow Dome", ready to block their most powerful weapon.

The identities of the hunter and the prey are reversed in an instant.

With the help of the caster, the kitchen knives are at full strength.

In a short time, the Lion Warriors, with the help of the Star People, killed the Winter Wolves and turned them into start-up funds for the new territory.

Even since the money from selling Winter Wolf materials is not a tax, maybe you can get around some troublesome things......

"It is worthy of being an elite warrior of the Goldmane Clan, I will give you a simple healing first, and let others dispose of these winter wolves."

The guards were thrilled that a lord who knew all kinds of spells could solve many problems in the realm.

It's just that the only druid in the team is a little worried, most of his spells are used to help provide energy protection to prevent the warriors from being frostbitten by the cold of the winter wolf minions, and it is difficult to reduce material consumption through the "Divine Berry Technique".

"It's okay, the winter wolf can eat it too." Kyle patted Kim on the back, "It's a little unpalatable, but at least it's meat." ”

An adult winter wolf is less than 200 kilograms, and the part that can be eaten is about 100 kilograms, which is enough for many people.

Hearing this, a similar logic appeared in Chen and Jin Kela's minds at the same time:

The winter wolf ate the people of Frostfield Village, if the people ate the winter wolf again......

"You can eat, I'll just use the god berry pad, and then I have to take advantage of the good view during the day to investigate the landscape."

Seeing that the Baron seemed to have a special way of investigating, Kyle didn't pay much attention to it, and instead led people to search for the Winter Wolf's lair.

These magical creatures have the ability to regurgitate, spit out excess food and bury it in the snow, and their proximity to human intelligence allows them to collect treasures for exchange.

If these winter wolves really attacked the group of Frostfield Village, they might be able to find valuable treasures in their lair.

Those are also indispensable things for the development of new territories.

And after Kyle leaves with the others, Kim also finds Chen, who is trying to prepare a map.

"Baron, I have something to ask you, do you mind if we Star Folk come to your territory as well?"

If there is anyone who is most worthy of support and investment, the Golden Legend Chen is obviously the best choice.

As the news of the Golden Gradation building a home in the Land of Frostfall spreads, the Star Folk soon have a tendency to send supplies north to support......
