Chapter 228 [Magic Explosion+]
Everything happened so suddenly that 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 had thrown him to the ground being blown away, Lauter immediately got up from the ground as quickly as possible under the instinct of survival.
He ignored the severe pain coming from the wound on his shoulder and ran towards the tribe quickly.
The patriarch finally reacted at this moment 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 toward the wolves as densely as raindrops.
Facing this sudden counterattack, the wolves fell into chaos in an instant.
The snow wolves howled angrily, trying to launch an offensive.
But before that, the threat of flying spears forced them to scatter and avoid.
The snow wolves are brave and good at fighting, ferocious and ferocious. In just an instant, they have already moved far away.
But such an intensive flying spear attack 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.
Hence, what follows will be the most bloody and brutal close combat.
And here, the patriarch himself also burst into violence at this moment.
With an angry rebuke, 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 without a bow at one of the ice wolves.
This is not a spell mastered by a conventional mage by constructing 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 equivalent to being the only mage in the entire tribe.
This is the tribe’s biggest problem when facing attacks from snow wolves.
The people of the North make a living by hunting, and their combat literacy and physical fitness are far superior to those of ordinary people. They can fight against zero-level earth-line creatures even without magic.
But those three-headed and one-ringed ice wolves are definitely not something ordinary northerners can handle.
The only thing that 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 could only believe that the "weirdo" was strong enough and willing to continue taking action.
Crack!
That ice arrow accurately hit the ice wolf.
However, it was not as effective as the flame beam just now.
With a crisp sound of ice cracking, it shattered.
The Ice Wolf, who took this hit, only suffered a slight pain and some skin injuries, and howled with his teeth bared.
Under its howl, the snow wolves kicked off their hind legs, walked on the snow flatly, and flew towards the people in the tribe.
「Ah!!」
The boy next to Joey was suddenly thrown to the ground by a snow wolf that flew toward him.
Just a bite.
There was a huge bloody hole on the young man's neck.
But before the spears thrust out by the hunters fell on him, the cunning snow wolf had already succeeded in 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 is like issuing a threat: you will be the next one 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, instantly fell to the ground and howled in pain.
Of course, the Snow Wolf is not unimpeded here.
The most experienced expert in the hunting team had already stabbed out his spear with astonishing accuracy and force when a snow wolf pounced on it.
The spear directly intercepted the enemy in the air. The sharp bone tip passed through the snow wolf's most vulnerable abdomen, giving it a chill.
The other hunters, although not as skilled as him, 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!" the leader of the hunting team shouted.
Every time you swing the spear with all your strength, it consumes a lot of physical strength.
Especially when swinging the gun at a high frequency, this is even more true, and you 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 snowy plains, 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 knock it down.
But the captain's reminder didn't have much effect.
Not only the leader of the hunting team can see the intentions of the snow wolves, but other hunters also understand their intentions, but the problem is that those snow wolves are attacking their own people.
Hunters didn’t dare to gamble, so they could only try 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 now 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 will fix its sights on the "culprit", the strange man who is speeding down the hillside at an incredible speed, bringing with him 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. 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, hoping for support.
In his opinion, facing the siege of three ice wolves, that weirdo would definitely be in danger now.
However, the strange man who "flyed" down the hillside quickly did not stop at all.
While he was moving, he had already begun to cast spells.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two intense and extremely dazzling energy beams were already shot from the hands of the "weirdo".
From a high position, he shot toward 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, which had clearly been dodged, drew a semicircular arc in an extremely "coquettish" manner at this time, directly hitting 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).
Additional: 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 Explosion].
As the energy beam hit, the bodies of the two ice and snow wolves shook violently. Their fast forward movement came to an abrupt halt, 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 damage can penetrate material obstructions, which makes it a powerful weapon for breaking defenses in most situations.
Especially when facing enemies with high defense or shields, the nobleness 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 force will be removed by the smooth fur.
Furthermore, 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 using.
This is the reason why the old patriarch's Ice Arrow seems so useless.
But as an outsider, Gao De is not offended by this.
The penetrating force field damage directly ignored the ice wolf's fur defense and caused severe damage to it.
[Magic Explosion+] Under the up-ring cast, the energy beam changes from one to two, but there are three ice wolves.
Hence, 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 by relying on [Shield Technique].
Gothe turned slightly sideways, lowered his body with superb skiing skills, and made a sliding shovel posture, cleverly avoiding the snow wolf's flying attack.
Goth's accumulated gravitational potential energy as he slid down the hillside was continuously converted into speed, making his speed at this time reach an extremely exaggerated level, so he could cope with the flying attacks of a ring of ice and snow wolves with ease.
The 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.
Hence, this environment is Gaode’s home ground.
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 battle method 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 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 shooting an arrow, the faster you go, the more difficult it is to control your aim.
Hence, the high hit rate of "mobile casting" has always been one of the important indicators of whether a battle mage is powerful or not.
Under "The Arrows Are Missing", the two seriously injured ice and snow wolves could not survive for a moment, and each suffered two magic energy explosions.
This accuracy chilled the wolf's heart.
· Certain structures within the body have been completely destroyed by the force field damage. Although they are still alive, they have completely lost their combat effectiveness.
It was also at this time that 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 Gothe with eagerness turned around and fled 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, moving so relatively, 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.
In just a few encounters, he made two of the ice and snow wolves of the same level escape to death.
Although he has taken advantage of the geographical advantage, as a mage who has just been promoted to the first level, it is still very exaggerated to have such combat power.
After dealing with the three wolves, Gothe turned his eyes to the northerners who were still fighting with the snow wolves. His face suddenly turned, and he opened his mouth and shouted.
However, with the nerves highly tense and still some distance away from the snow slope, no one heard what Gothe said.
Only the old patriarch who came after the snow wolf and wanted to support Gao De, his hearing 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's mind not turn around for the first time.
"Leave a few for me". Are you talking about snow wolves?
How many snow wolves will be 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.
With the exception of the Frostwolf Clan, no one else can do anything against these rebellious and ferocious snow wolves.
Just as the old patriarch's thoughts were spinning, Gothe had already used the huge inertia of sliding down the slope to "fly" past him 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, and was submerged in the fire, making no sound.
