Chapter 228 [Magic Explosion+]
Everything happened so suddenly, neither the Snow Wolf nor the people in the tribe reacted.
The only person at the scene who reacted was Lauter, who narrowly escaped death.
Seeing the ice wolf that threw him to the ground being blown away, Lauter immediately got up from the ground as quickly as possible under the instinct of survival.
Ignoring the severe pain coming from the wound on his shoulder, he hurriedly ran towards the tribe.
"Kill!"
The patriarch finally reacted at this time and shouted angrily.
Under his command, the hunters in the tribe responded quickly and threw the flying spears in their hands.
The flying spears flew towards the wolves like raindrops.
Faced with this sudden counterattack, the wolves instantly fell into chaos.
The snow wolves howled angrily and tried to attack.
But before that, the threat of flying spears forced them to scatter and avoid.
Snow wolves are brave, good at fighting, ferocious and ferocious. In just an instant, they have moved far away.
But such an intensive flying spear offensive will not be without any results.
About seven or eight snow wolves were unable to evade, and their bodies were pierced by sharp flying spears, and they were nailed to the snow. They struggled painfully, and their blood instantly dyed the snow red.
But at this time, the other snow wolves had already adjusted their formation.
Previously, they were in a gathering state, so they were unable to withstand the dense flying spears.
But now, they have spread out, stretching the battle line extremely long. With the agility and speed of the snow wolves, it is impossible for the flying spears to threaten them under this situation.
So, what follows will be the most bloody and brutal close combat.
And here, the patriarch himself also exploded at this moment.
With an angry scolding, his eyes turned into a frosty blue, and an icy blue light appeared in his hands.
A moment later, an arrow made of ice spontaneously shot at one of the ice wolves without a bow.
This is not a spell that a conventional mage masters by building a spell model, but comes from the spell power that awakens by itself in the blood.
The old patriarch is the only person in the entire tribe who has awakened the ice bloodline.
In other words, he is the only mage in the entire tribe.
This is the biggest problem this tribe faces when facing attacks from snow wolves.
People in the north make a living by hunting, and their combat literacy and physical fitness are far better than ordinary people. They can fight against zero-level earth-line creatures even without magic.
But the ice wolf with three heads and one ring is definitely not something ordinary northerners can deal with.
The only one who can deal with the extraordinary is the extraordinary.
In the North, the Iceborn bloodline is the extraordinary power that the people of the North rely on for their survival.
The old patriarch is already very old. He has no confidence and indeed does not have the strength to fight one against three.
But now, there is no choice.
More importantly, the old patriarch also discovered the strange man "flying" down from the hillside.
He can only believe that the "weirdo" is strong enough and willing to continue taking action.
Crack!
That ice arrow accurately hit the ice and snow wolf.
However, it was not as effective as the flame beam just now.
With a crisp sound of ice cracking, it collapsed.
The Ice Wolf, who had taken this hit, only felt a slight pain and suffered some skin injuries, and howled with his teeth bared.
Under its roar, the snow wolves kicked off their hind legs, walked on the snow like flat ground, and flew towards the people in the tribe.
"Ah!!"
The boy next to Joey was suddenly thrown to the ground by a flying snow wolf.
Just a bite.
A huge bloody hole appeared on the boy's neck.
Before the spears thrust out by the hunters fell on him, the cunning snow wolf had already succeeded with one blow and retreated deftly.
It just exposed its bloody fangs and stared at Joey, whose face was almost bloodless, with cruel and ferocious green eyes.
It's like a threat: you will be the next to die.
The battle here has just begun, and there is another scream from the other side.
A slow-moving old man, whose stomach had been scratched by another ferocious snow wolf, fell to the ground in an instant, wailing in pain.
Of course, Snow Wolf is not unimpeded here.
The most experienced expert in the hunting team had already stabbed out the spear in his hand with astonishing precision and force when a snow wolf pounced on it.
The spear directly intercepted the air. The sharp bone tip passed through the snow wolf's most vulnerable abdomen, giving him a chill.
Although the other hunters are not as skilled as him, they are still struggling to thrust out their spears and drive away the snow wolves that are flying towards them.
“Keep up your strength and rhythm!” shouted the leader of the hunting team.
Every time you swing the spear with all your strength, it consumes a lot of physical strength.
This is especially true when the gun is swung at a high frequency, and it may be exhausted dozens of times in a row.
And these cunning giant wolves obviously understand this truth.
That’s why they continue to tentatively attack the elderly, children and women who have little ability to resist, instead of fighting with the hunters.
The purpose is to force the hunters to keep taking action and consume their physical strength.
As predators on the snowfield, this is their common method of facing prey: through tentative attacks and feints, they consume the prey's physical strength, and when it is exhausted, they can easily kill it. Throw it down.
But the captain's reminder didn't have much effect.
Not only the hunting team leader can see the snow wolves’ intentions, but other hunters also understand their intentions. But the problem is that those snow wolves are attacking their own people.
The hunters did not dare to gamble, so they could only do their best to stop the snow wolf.
On the other side, after the old patriarch’s offensive, the ring of ice and snow wolves that had been blown away by the flame beam had already gotten up.
The snow-white wolf fur at the wound has been dyed into burnt and mottled black by the embers of the fire.
This makes it particularly angry.
Anger stems not only from physical pain, but also from the trampling of dignity.
It fixed its sights on the "culprit", the strange man who was speeding down the hillside at an incredible speed, bringing up a pile of snow.
Even the ice wolf that took the old patriarch's attack didn't care to look at the old patriarch at this moment, but turned its ferocious eyes on the weirdo.
These first-circle earth-line creatures have extremely high IQs. They obviously understand that this is the most difficult enemy and they need to work together to deal with him first.
The three ice wolves turned slightly in one direction, and almost at the same moment, their strong limbs kicked the ground violently, turning into three white ghosts and rushing towards the strange man. "Be careful!" the old patriarch shouted again, and at the same time chased the three giant wolves for support.
In his opinion, facing the siege of three ice wolves, that weirdo must be in danger now.
However, the strange man who "flyed" down the hillside quickly did not stop at all.
While moving, he had already begun to cast spells.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two intense and dazzling energy beams were already shot from the hands of the "weirdo".
Condescendingly, he shot towards two of the three ice wolves like two bolts of lightning piercing the sky.
The two ice wolves locked by the energy beam exerted force on their hind limbs, and when the energy beam was about to hit them, they suddenly moved to the right.
Speed is the Ice Wolf’s strength.
However, the energy beam that had clearly been dodged, at this time, in an extremely "coquettish" manner, drew a semicircular arc and directly hit the two ice wolves who had relaxed their vigilance.
[Magic Explosion+] (Evocation Department, Level 0):
Launch a beam of intense energy towards a creature within the casting range (120 feet).
Extra: Within the casting range, the energy beam will continue to chase the target.
After leaving Dandong Xuefeng, it took nearly a month to officially enter Gaode in the north through the northern climbing route. During this period, I unlocked some new zero-ring origins.
This origin, he decisively added to [Magic Energy Explosion].
As the energy beam hit, the bodies of the two ice and snow wolves shook violently. Their fast forward movement stopped abruptly, and they fell to the snow in an extremely abrupt manner.
There are no obvious signs of trauma on the surface of their bodies, but in fact, they have suffered some kind of damage inside their bodies.
[Magic Explosion] As the king of magic damage, in addition to its astonishing power of up to 10 degrees, there is another important point.
The damage it causes is "noble" force field damage.
Force field damage can penetrate physical obstructions, making it a powerful weapon for breaking defenses in most situations.
Especially when facing enemies with high defense or shields, the power of force field damage is even more prominent.
The snow wolf relies heavily on its fur for its dominance in the northern border.
When ordinary physical attacks fall on the body, most of the power is usually removed by the smooth fur.
And this fur also has a very high ice resistance, which is precisely a restraint on the ice element spells that the northerners are best at and commonly used.
This is the reason why the old patriarch's Ice Arrow seems so useless.
But as an outsider, Gao De is not angry at this.
The penetrating force field damage directly ignored the ice wolf's fur defense and caused severe damage to it.
[Magic Energy Explosion+] Under the up-ring cast, the energy beam changes from one to two, but there are three ice wolves.
So the last ice wolf was already close to his attack distance and flew towards Gothe.
Gaode's expression did not change.
When he started to slide down the slope, he had already added [Shield Technique] to himself.
However, he did not say that he could resist this flying attack with the [Shield Technique].
Gaode turned slightly sideways, pressed his body down with his superb skiing skills, and made a sliding shovel posture, cleverly avoiding the snow wolf's flying attack.
With the help of Gaode who has been sliding down the hillside, the accumulated gravitational potential energy is continuously converted into speed, which makes his speed at this time reach an extremely exaggerated level, so he can face the flying ice and snow wolves. I can also deal with it with ease.
This slide of the shovel kicked up snow and dust all over the sky, making the field of vision blurry and invisible.
But this is actually the purpose of Gaode.
[Magic Explosion+] has the function of automatically detecting enemies.
He only needs to see a vague shadow, lock the target, and the rest can be left to the spell itself.
So, this environment is Gaode’s home field.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another [Magic Explosion+] was cast, rushing out of the snow dust in the sky, and galloping away towards the two previously injured ice and snow wolves.
Kill him while he is sick.
At any time, concentrating fire to reduce the enemy's numbers first is a way of fighting that will not go wrong.
The extremely fast and exaggerated movement speed allows Gothe to temporarily not have to worry about the attacks of the ice and snow wolves.
The enemy-locking effect of [Magic Explosion+] allows Gothe to worry about the hit rate problem while moving at high speeds - mobile casting is a problem for most mages.
Just like archery, the faster you go, the more difficult it is to control your aim.
Therefore, "mobile casting" with a high hit rate has always been one of the important indicators of whether a battle mage is powerful or not.
Under the "False Arrows", the two severely injured ice and snow wolves could not survive for a moment, and each suffered two magic explosions.
This accuracy chilled the wolf.
A certain structure within the body has been completely destroyed by the force field damage. Although it is still alive, it has completely lost its combat effectiveness.
Also at this time, the snow dust had dispersed.
The last ice wolf suddenly let out a cry when he saw his two companions who had already rushed to the street.
A few seconds ago, the ice wolf that was still eyeing Gao De covetously turned around and ran away decisively after whining.
Seeing this scene, Gothe frowned subconsciously.
The ice and snow wolf ran towards the snow slope, and he slid down the slope.
With the speed at this moment, facing each other like this, in the blink of an eye, the opponent was already out of his casting range.
"That's okay." Gao De felt helpless. Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.
He turned and waved his hand again, and two energy beams were shot decisively from his hand, completely killing the two ice wolves that had lost the ability to struggle and fell on the snow slope.
With just a few encounters, he made two ice and snow wolves who were also in the first ring escape.
Although he took advantage of the geographical advantage, as a mage who had just been promoted to the first level, it was still very exaggerated to have such combat power.
After taking care of the three alpha wolves, Gothe turned his gaze to the northerners who were still fighting with the zero-ring snow wolves. His expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth and shouted.
However, no one heard what Gothe said when the nerves were highly tense and there was still a certain distance from the snow slope.
Only the old patriarch who came after the Snow Wolf and wanted to support Gao De, whose hearing was strengthened by the awakening of blood power, immediately heard the voice with obvious anxiety:
"Wow, leave a few for me!"
The urgency conveyed in this voice made the old patriarch lose his mind for the first time.
"Leave a few for me". Are you talking about snow wolves?
How many snow wolves are left for him? What does he want? Could it be that he wants to capture the snow wolf alive and then tame it?
How is it possible to tame a snow wolf? That is a secret that only the Frostwolf clan has mastered.
Except for the Frostwolf clan, no one else can do anything against these rebellious and ferocious snow wolves.
Just as the thoughts in the old patriarch's mind were spinning, Gothe had already "flyed" past him with the huge inertia of sliding down the slope, and rushed straight to the center of the battlefield.
At the same time, a blazing flame beam was shot out one step ahead of him, accurately hitting a zero-ring snow wolf that had just swooped out.
The snow wolf didn't even bark, but was submerged in the fire and made no sound.
