In the low bushes, a short figure leaped deftly past, its forelimbs clinging to the ground, its nose trembling slightly, and the various scents wafting from the air were quickly distinguished.

It was the breath of blood and magic......

The petrified jackal's simple thinking told it that it was most likely a wounded and bleeding wizard – and of course, a trap.

However, its sense of smell does not deceive it, the other party is only a junior apprentice, and his magic is not very good.

Rub and go!

Two more petrified jackals jumped out of the bushes, and the three wolves walked side by side at a certain distance.

Soon, they were around the place where the bloody magic gathered.

......

The red doji automatically aimed at the creeping monster in the grass, and if it weren't for Hawkeye's automatic aim, Lance wouldn't even have found the cunning predators.

But now, Lance's every move of the three ignorant petrified jackals is fully watched by Lance.

"The eyes are a little small!" Lance leaned against the tree, stepping on the small grass stained with the blood of magic under his feet, and turned slightly to the side thirty degrees.

In the next second, the sharp arrow was already aimed at the grass.

The petrified jackal felt a little uneasy, but it didn't make a rash move. The reason is simple, having lived in this forest for so long, petrified jackals usually deal with the guardian wizards or other demonic creatures, and rarely encounter ordinary hunters.

They don't even know what a bow and arrow is.

So when Lance aimed at a petrified jackal, the other party only lowered his body a little uneasily.

"Are you still looking for a better time, or are you waiting for more companions?" Lance thought to himself, these petrified jackals were very patient, much calmer than he had imagined.

The petrified wolves were patient, though, and Lance wasn't interested in waiting for more enemies to surround them.

Airplanes!

Under the trembling of the bowstring, the short white feather arrow came out of the string, and the speed was incomparably fast. Lance was condescending, with the assistance of Eagle Eye, and the other party did not dodge, it would be strange if this arrow could be shot crooked.

"Woo......"

The hapless petrified jackal snorted, and the white feather arrow stabbed straight into his neck, almost piercing its neck alive.

The petrified jackal, with its strong vitality, leaped high and frantically went crazy in place for a few seconds before falling to the ground weakly and dying.

The other two petrified jackals were startled, and the death of their companions stimulated their blood, and they jumped up from behind the grass in unison. Rushing towards the trees beneath Lance's feet.

The two brutes were also cunning, and they actually outflanked and rushed towards Lance from both wings.

And on their necks, a faint layer of white gas began to rise, and in a short time, the skin surface of both jackals turned into a thick layer of stone.

"Petrified skin...... Lance wasn't nervous, because after the two jackals used petrified skins, their speed had significantly dropped by more than half.

It can be seen that the heavy petrified armor is also a burden for them.

"Lance, do you need me to help you fend off?" Eakins, who was high up, hurriedly lowered his head when he saw this scene.

Lance calmly said, "No!"

After that, he turned sideways again, and the doji in his eyes suddenly doubled!

"Hawkeye, give me the eyes of the petrified jackal!"

The sub-chip automatically aims, and the weak biocurrent stimulates the nerves of Lance's spine to carry out the most accurate and delicate aiming through the auxiliary control of the hand muscles!

A petrified jackal darted, but its progress was quickly halted!

The ruthless arrow made a monotonous sound of breaking through the air, and at a distance of about thirty paces, it was inserted into the eye socket of the petrified jackal with incomparable precision!

The eyes are usually the most vulnerable place for all kinds of creatures, and sharp bows and arrows are inserted into the jackal's brain, killing it alive.

The jackal's body took a few steps forward weakly under the action of inertia, and finally slowly fell.

The other jackal could not escape the fate of death, and Lance was already very skilled in archery: the actions of taking arrows, winding them, aiming, and shooting had become instinct for him.

With a whoosh, the third petrified jackal also died under Lance's bow and arrow, and when it died, its body was less than eight steps from the tree at Lance's feet.

Such a simple and efficient way to kill the enemy is exactly the fighting philosophy that Lance admires the most.

No matter what kind of enemy you face, the best thing is to kill with one blow! No matter what means you use, as long as you can achieve such an effect. Because to give the enemy more room to live is to create more threats to yourself.

"How did you do that?" asked Ekins as he flew down in surprise and saw the corpses of the three petrified jackals lying there.

Lance jumped down from the tree, shrugged his shoulders and casually made an excuse, "Before I became a wizard, I was an excellent hunter, so it should be normal for me to be proficient in archery." ”

"No!" the woodpecker shook his head, "I've seen the elves of Greel, they're the best shooting race in the world. Many elven wizards also choose to make their own demonized items, most of which are bows and arrows, but they also don't have such terrifying archery. ”

Lance smiled, "Maybe it's because you haven't met a real marksman." ”

Eakins snorted unconvinced, and then flew up to the sky again to reconnoitre.

Lance pulled the bodies of the three petrified jackals together and scattered them under the tree. He simply used his knife to crack open the wolves' chests and remove their petrified hearts.

The reason why the petrified jackal can use the spell [Rock Skin] is because of this petrified heart. Unlike the heart of an ordinary animal, the heart of a petrified jackal is actually a hard solid, and after washing away the blood from its appearance, it is basically a stone. It contains a relatively pure earth-based spell factor, and it is one of the raw materials for the crafting of many demonic items, so the price is very popular.

Lance was quick to move, and he was not very resistant to dissecting such things, but instead showed unusual indifference and composure. Perhaps it was the crossing that sublimated and solidified his spirit and will, and his mind and spirit quickly merged into this indifferent and cruel world, and he did not soften his heart for the loss of life like ordinary earthlings.

"It's not a change for good or bad. Lance said to himself, "But in order to survive, this may not be bad." ”

After collecting the three petrified hearts, he climbed the tree again. This time, he didn't even need the little grass stained with magical blood as an introduction. Because in the process of dissection just now, he opened the chests of the three petrified jackals, and a large amount of blood flowed all over the ground, and the bloody qi would definitely attract more petrified jackals over.

......

After about ten minutes, the woodpecker suddenly descended sharply, reminding:

"There is a sound in the west, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least five petrified jackals!"

Lance nodded slowly. He told Eakins to keep up and observe. The woodpecker looked at Lance with some curiosity, and couldn't help but say, "Five petrified jackals, can your bow and arrows handle it?"

Lance said calmly, "I'm a wizard. ”

The woodpecker flapped its wings and flew up boringly. He also knew that Lance needed him to do a good job of reconnaissance more than help in battle. Being able to spot the enemy early can give you more of an early advantage in battle.

The five petrified jackals that had arrived from the west had apparently smelled the blood of their compatriots and were very manic, and they had no intention of hiding their figures, but instead galloped all the way over.

Lance calmly leaned against the trunk of the tree, and aimed his bow and arrow at one of the jackals.

Sou!

Under the eagle's eye, there is no missing arrow. The jackal fell to the ground.

The other four jackals immediately grinned and activated the rock skin, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to within thirty paces.

Lance didn't stop, he continued to bend his bow and arrows, another arrow.

This time, he was a little unlucky. The bow and arrow shot at the jackal's eye, but the guy blinked at this time. The arrow stabbed into the monster's petrified eyelids and was blocked for a moment before it was inserted.

The strength of the short bow was not strong enough, and in such a situation, the arrow feather could not kill the jackal, but only blinded the opponent in one eye.

The blind jackal went even further, and it let out a low growl from its mouth, and it was three points faster!

At this moment, Lance was extremely calm, he did not rush because of the approaching monster, but continued to snipe his opponent with his bow and arrow.

Whoosh!

Two arrows later, two petrified jackals were shot through the eye sockets and collapsed.

But by this time, the blind jackal and another intact petrified jackal had rushed to Lance's feet.

They grasped the trunk of the tree lightly, and they were about to leap up.

"Lance, be careful!" Exclaimed Eakins, who had been scouting from high altitude. He was just about to incite his wings and unleash a wind spell to help Lance solve the crisis.

At this time, Lance suddenly put down the bow and arrow in his hand and muttered a few incantations in his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, two weeds more than one person tall grew out of the ground!

Hit the grass!

The humanoid beating grass waved a huge slap at Lance's command and slammed it towards the waists of the two jackals!

"Woo!" Under the two wails, the two jackals who were attacked by the beating grass were suddenly stunned.

On the earth, wolves are known as "copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu-waist", and the waist is the weakest place for jackals. Even if it's covered in a thick layer of rock skin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lance jumped down, held down the head of a jackal with one hand, and plunged the short sword into the opponent's eye socket with the other!

Poof! Under the splash of blood, the jackal, which was completely dead, was hugged by the beating grass and thrown out of the coffin.

The other jackal was not spared, and with the help of the beating grass, Lance quickly dealt with it.

Five more petrified hearts in hand.

Reims was pleased with the result. From the beginning, he didn't intend to solve everything by relying on archery alone. As he told Ekins, he was a wizard.

A person's ability to fight should be all-round. Bows and arrows, archery, demonized items, and witchcraft are all part of the strength. Of course, Reims has to make the most of these factors.

The woodpecker witnessed this thrilling scene, flapped his wings and said, "I didn't think you still had a demonic item like beating grass in your hand, no wonder you have no fear." ”

"But I've been in Ferendor for fifteen years, and I've never seen a wizard with such a strange way of fighting like you. ”

Eakins blinked and said, "I mean, you haven't used a single witchcraft until now. ”

Lance smiled bitterly in his heart, if it wasn't for the lack of magic power, how could he cherish the opportunity to use witchcraft so much?

However, he didn't break it, just smiled: "It's not necessary to deal with these guys." ”

Ekins muttered, and suddenly, his face changed instantly:

"Lance, beware, there's a large group of petrified jackals approaching. ”

"Which direction?" asked Lance calmly.

"In all directions!" said the woodpecker.
