Chapter 15: Jungle Adventure

"Wake up, everyone, there's movement!" Hans was awakened in the middle of the night by Archie's screams.

Get up and look around, and you can see that there is a pair of eyes looking at them in the dark, no! two, three, and more......

It was a pack of wolves, and it seemed that they were surrounded by at least a dozen wolves.

"Up the tree!" shouted Hans, not knowing if it was out of the instinct of a magician, or if he was mentally prepared for it, so he was the first to climb up the tree anyway.

Then several warriors climbed two different trees, and each of them began to draw their bows and arrows to kill the wolf, but Hans was embarrassed to take out his toy bow at this time, and he showed his wand and prepared to cast his magic. As for his arm guards, he didn't want to be exposed to others at this time.

I saw more than a dozen wolves slowly surrounding, they seemed to be a little afraid of the fire and didn't dare to get too close, but they didn't want to let go of their prey easily.

Cliff, who seemed to be the leader of several of them, said to him, "After a moment we start attacking, the wolves may run away." So move fast and kill a few more before they run. ”

Then Hans said, "Wait until I'll strike first." I saw that he began to use his wand to condense a fireball the size of a human head, and then the wolves on the Xiangxia side projected it, and when the fireball flew halfway, it suddenly split and turned into three small fireballs, which flew towards the three wolves respectively.

In the midst of a wail, the fireballs among the three wolves burst into flames and skewered everywhere, causing the other wolves to retreat several steps.

At this time, several warriors made a move, only to see the strings of the wolf fall, and four or five were shot down in an instant, among which Bonnie shot three arrows in a row, and none of them missed.

The wolves were attacked, and they retreated, trying to escape. At this moment, Hans flew out with another large fireball, projected far into the way of the wolves' retreat, and exploded seven or eight small fireballs that burned a meadow. The wolves were startled and walked back, greeted by a series of arrows, but since Cliff and Archie were not very proficient in archery and often missed their shots, Zuihou ran away from a few wolves.

Since they were always in the trees, the battle went very smoothly, and they came down and began to clean up, whether the arrows were limited, or were they recycled and reused.

After a while, everyone was a little tired, and after a few words of praise to Hans and Bonnie, they went on to rest, and Hans offered to wait for him to come to the vigil. Because he had cast two powerful spells in a row just now, almost all the mana he could use was drained. You need to meditate immediately to recover your mana.

Also, although he consumed quickly, he recovered quickly, and after a while, he felt that his mana was abundant again. I don't know if it's because there is more elemental energy in the forest.

Hans saw that they were sleeping soundly, and then roasted the wolf meat himself, and after a while, he turned up the electronic clock on his armguard, it was already 4 o'clock, although this clock had not found a standard reference, but in the course of a year, he had re-set a reference value according to the average time of sunrise and sunset, and now it was estimated that it was only two hours before dawn.

He woke Bonnie up and went on his vigil, and then went to rest himself.

The night was uneventful, and everyone woke up at dawn to find that Bonnie had roasted all the wolf's legs.

Yesterday 11 wolves were killed, and after some discussion, it was decided to allocate ears, four for Hans, three for Bonnie, and two for Cliff and Archie. Roasting 22 wolf legs was also a bit too much, and they each ate one each, then put two in the backpack, and left the rest unwanted.

Since they had a good time working together last night, they decided to continue to act together today and continue to march deep into the mountains. On the way, Hans mentioned the problem of water sources, and they occasionally climbed the trees to see if they could find a water source such as a mountain stream.

It seemed that the road was a little more peaceful, and they were not short of food, so should the little rabbits and squirrels kill a few?

They made a detour to the bottom of the rocky mountain and saw a small stream, which flowed out of the cave. This cave is not small, there are more than one person high. They replenished the water, ate the wolf's leg at the mouth of the cave, and planned to go into the cave to search for it.

Along the way, Hans used his wand to illuminate the light, but luckily the cost of this glowing magic was very small, otherwise he might not have been able to take it. The ground in the cave was uneven and very slippery, and they had to walk slowly. After walking for about half an hour, they found that the cave had widened and the roof of the cave had become very high, and their vision was a little difficult to see.

So Hans increased the output of his mana, and his wand became brighter. Spotting a glimmer of light reflecting off the roof of the cave, Hans was startled upon closer inspection, and immediately shouted, "Watch out for the roof of the cave!"

Everyone immediately drew their weapons and watched for it, and they found a huge spider web above, each as thick as a finger.

Cliff shouted, "It's a big monster spider!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant spider jumped down at the entrance of the cave, the spider's belly seemed to be bigger than the hole it entered, several feet stretched out to be ten meters wide, and the eight eyes on its head were shining.

Frightened, Bonnie did not make a sound, and immediately shot an arrow, only to hear a "ding", the arrow was bounced away, and it seemed that the spider's carapace was very hard.

Bonnie was so frightened that his legs went limp and shouted, "What should I do?

Before they could answer, the spiders had already rushed over, their mouths opening left and right like two sickles, as if they wanted to cut Bonnie in two!

In desperation, Hans threw a fireball at the spider, who turned to look at him.

Then Cliff yelled, "Run, it shouldn't get out of this hole." ”

When Cliff ran to the spider's feet, he slashed at the spider's feet with a strong sword, and the spider's feet had no armor and were broken in one fell slash.

The spider was in pain, and turned around and bit Cliff, who quickly raised his shield, only to see the spider bite down, and the two sickles just bit the shield, and Cliff took the opportunity to let go and left, ran to the hole, and slashed a sword on the other foot by the way.

The spider was furious and hurriedly turned around, and at this time several people were under the spider, and the spider suddenly turned around, and one of the feet swept Bonnie, and her whole person was bounced out and hit the wall of the cave. Archie was about to go over and help her up, when suddenly a ball of spider silk came straight over him, just wrapped around his legs, and then the spider silk tightened, and dragged Archie backwards, and then the spider used its mouth and front legs to quickly wrap Archie with spider silk.

At this time, Hans couldn't help but run, condensed an ice arrow, and shot it into the spider's abdomen, which really worked, and the ice arrow was directly inserted into the spider's stomach. It seems that spiders only have armor on their heads, and it is feasible to attack other places.

I saw that Cliff was also able to kill, and when he saw his legs with his sword in both hands, he cut off several in a row, and some of his legs were even cut off twice.

Suddenly Hans shouted, "Attack its belly." Then a fireball was thrown at the spider's abdomen, and the spider's fluffy belly was immediately ignited, and the fire slowly spread all over the body, and even the hair on the legs was on fire. The spider was so painful that he rolled on the ground, and Cliff ran over and slashed at the spider's abdomen several times, splashing Cliff with green blood.

Finally, the spider didn't move. Hans quickly took out his dagger and cut through the spider silk that trapped Archie, who seemed to be unconscious.

Cliff threw his sword on the ground, gasping for breath, and Bonnie over there looked at him, only to see that Cliff had red blood on his hands in addition to the green spider blood all over his body, and he seemed to be injured.

Cliff was still walking, Bonnie picked up his sword and shield, and Hans carried Archie back to the cave. At the entrance of the cave, I saw that Archie's lips were purple and he was poisoned, but he was suffering from the fact that he couldn't detoxify the magic.

At this time, Bonnie said, "Instructor Botu gave us an antidote to snake venom, but I don't know if this spider venom can be used." ”

Cliff said, "Don't use it indiscriminately, the antidote will kill you if you use it wrong." ”

Hans said to Cliff, "I'll help you heal your wounds first, and then you can think about what to do." With that, he began to cast healing magic on Cliff's arm.

While they were anxiously about how to detoxify, a person suddenly appeared next to them.

I saw the man say, "He is poisoned by a mutant tarantula, although it will not be fatal immediately, but he can't continue to participate in training, so I'll take him back." ”

Hans and the others saw that this was a middle-aged man, dressed in an assassin's costume and wearing the badge of a mercenary school, and it seemed that he was also an instructor. It is estimated that in this particularly dangerous place, they have already prepared manpower.

Then Cliff said, "I'll quit too, and I'll go back with you." With that, he took all the loot in his backpack to Hans. Because if you want to quit, the loot is useless.

Hans said to Cliff, "After healing, you should be able to continue fighting." ”

At this time, Bonnie also said, "The three of us came together, let's go back together." So saying, he gave Hans all the spoils.

Hans frowned, and couldn't say anything, and then saw that the instructor was carrying Archie on his back, and several people left together.

Hans thought, since the spiders have all been killed, it is impossible to leave them alone, right? Then he went back into the hole, and he looked at the corpse of the spider, and suddenly felt troubled, do spiders have ears? It seems that there are none, since there are no ears, how can we collect them? In desperation, he had to pack all eight spider legs, tie them together and hang them on his back, and he couldn't even put his backpack in them.

Hans calculated the distance, and if he didn't go back, he probably wouldn't be able to return to the starting point tomorrow at noon, so he had to start walking back.

Nothing happened along the way, dinner was still yesterday's wolf legs, and what was more uncomfortable was that the night could only be spent alone.

That night, Hans's mood was more complicated, he thought about the dangerous battle during the day, thinking about the team feeling of the three warriors, and it was not easy for him to walk alone on the road in the future. Thinking about it, he took out the amulet that Sheila gave him, and while stroking it, he said to himself: "She is an elegant nobleman in the city of Fran, and I am a poor villager in Modo Village, how can I be worthy of a person, she may just want to compensate me for a little loss." ”

After being confused for a while, Hans suddenly stared at the talisman and said to himself: "I will use my strength to prove that I am not a mediocre person!"

On the morning of the third day, he rushed all the way back, and when he arrived at the meeting point, he found that many people had returned, and some of them even came back the next day, all of them were injured to varying degrees, and some were frightened.

It wasn't until Portu counted the loot that Hans took out his 11 wolf ears and eight spider legs, which made Porto's eyes light up. I saw Botu say: "The mutant tarantula in the cave, although it is not a magical beast, but it is also more difficult to deal with than ordinary beasts, and you killed it alone?"

Hans didn't hide it, telling Portu about their killing of spiders, and specifically mentioning the names of Cliff, Archie, and Bonnie. But since they voluntarily gave up the loot, of course, it was on Hans.

Amanda patted Hans on the shoulder to show encouragement, since the count of Hans, not long after, there was a wave of enthusiastic discussion, it turned out to be Jody from the magic class, he formed a team with two other magicians and two warriors, and killed a monster wolf, this wolf is also the leader of all the wolves in the whole mountain! will release the magic that improves his physical strength, and in order to kill him, three people were injured, and they also counted all the spoils on Jody.

Zuihou Porto announced that in this training, the first place was Jody, the second place was Hans, and the third place was Al of the warrior class. After each of them has been rewarded with gold coins, they will return to the mercenary school.
