Chapter 125: The Demon Wolf Arrives!
"Ahhh!" Just after lunch, when they were resting for a bit, a loud wolf howl came from thousands of meters away. "Damn it, it's the demon wolves! Everyone get ready!" Ye Feng was originally sitting down, but he suddenly jumped up and said! The wolf howls got closer and closer, and there wasn't just one wolf - the howling sounds were coming from all directions!
They were surrounded by a pack of wolves without even realizing it! Lin Tian's expression changed slightly, and he hastily asked in his mind: "Xiao Ling, quickly check how many magic wolves are there around us and what their levels are?" Xiao Ling immediately replied: "Master, there are over a thousand wolves in total. Nearly a hundred of them are magic wolves, while the rest are just giant wolves that don't know magic, but they're two to three times larger than those on Earth. Among the magic wolves, one is a six-level wolf king, and the others are at levels three, four, or five. Most of them are green wolves, with a few being earth wolves. The green wolves can use wind magic, while the earth wolves can use earth magic!"
There were only a few hundred demon wolves, and Lin Tian immediately put his mind at ease. If there were over a thousand, he would absolutely be unable to withstand them, but with just a few hundred, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem. The main thing was that the wolf king was only level six, and if they really couldn't withstand it, directly killing the wolf king would cause the wolf pack to automatically retreat!
A thousand meters away, the wolf pack arrived in an instant, and that dense black mass was truly giving people a great deal of pressure. Ye Feng said in a low voice: "Form a circle, block the wolves outside, the demon wolves are cunning, they want to use ordinary giant wolves to exhaust our physical strength first! Lin Tian brothers, and Feng Ling, Sulin, you provide magic support in the middle!"
The first to pounce were the gigantic wolves, and upon seeing them, Lin Tian's heart also skipped a beat. These damned giant wolves weren't much smaller than the tigers on Earth, with each one weighing at least 300-400 kilograms! Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and wolf corpses flew about. The ordinary giant wolves could only cause some trouble for the mercenaries, but they wouldn't be able to cause too much of a problem. In order to guard against the sneak attacks of the magical wolves, everyone's attention was focused on them; otherwise, the speed at which they killed the giant wolves would have been even faster!
The demonic wolves are called that because they can use magic, and if you're not careful, who knows whether you'll be suddenly pierced by a sharp blade rising from the ground or have your head cut off by a swift gust of wind!
Feng Ling, just by the name you can tell it's a girl, is a high-level water-element mage, while Slin is a mid-level earth-element mage. Neither of them has made a move yet, their magic power isn't like Lin Tian's which seems to be almost endless, they have to use it at the most critical moment! This also shows the difference between a battle mage and an academy mage. If an academy mage were in this situation, they would definitely not be able to resist making a move, but Feng Ling and Slin are able to accurately judge that now is not the best time to make a move, magic power is limited, can't be wasted on these giant wolves!
Lin Tian made his move at this time, he was originally here to gain experience, and naturally couldn't hide in the back, anyway, even if it was always using sixth-level magic, it was still bearable for him, let alone those lower-level magics?!
Wind Blade, this is only a third-level wind magic, but its lethality is absolutely not weak. Small trees with arm-thick trunks can be easily cut off, and cutting off the throat of ordinary giant wolves is naturally no problem at all! When Lin Tian simultaneously summoned nearly thirty Wind Blades, the giant wolves' time of death had already arrived!
Thirty wind blades, like dancing spirits, wove through the pack of giant wolves, each one taking a life with every passing second. Ye Feng and the two mages, Wu Lin and Feng Ling, were all stunned by this slaughter, which could only be described as an art form!
The Art of Death!
The demonic wolves could no longer hold their breath, although they didn't care much about the giant wolves' casualties, but to let humans slaughter the giant wolves like that was also not what they wanted! Wind blades, large pieces of wind blades poured down from the sky and attacked Lin Tian and his group. Among the more than 100 demonic wolves, there were over 80 wind-type green wolves. Even if one green wolf only spat out one wind blade, it would still be over 80 wind blades, which was many more than Lin Tian's 30 or so. Not to mention that the fourth- and fifth-level green wolves didn't just spit out one wind system!
The number of Wind Blades had reached a terrifying nearly one hundred and fifty!
It was Ye Feng, this sword master, who had also changed color. With his fighting spirit, withstanding forty or fifty wind-type attacks would not be a problem, but if there were any more... The wind chimes had long been prepared, seeing so many wind blades coming, a fifth-level water shield was released to protect everyone!
A fifth-level water shield, its defensive power is quite good, at least pistol bullets can't penetrate it! Defending against a single wind blade is a simple matter, but when 150 wind blades come crashing down at the same time, that's already beyond the limits of the Wind Chime's magical support!
If the magic can be rapidly infused into the water shield to continuously reinforce it, in theory, not only 150 wind blades but even twice as many could be blocked. However, in reality, the output speed of a low-level magician's magic is limited. If an initial mage can output one unit of magic per second, then an intermediate mage can output ten units per second, and a saint might output hundreds! Given that the wind blade's attack power is constant, if the additional defensive power added by the magician's inputted magic exceeds the wind blade's attack power, this spell will not be broken. Unfortunately, it's impossible for Feng Ling to block so many wind blades with her magic output!
The water screen of the wind chime only lasted for three seconds, and it burst like a bubble. Her face also turned pale in an instant!
Lin Tian had long known that the water shield wouldn't last more than a few seconds. The moment it shattered, he summoned his sixth-level Earth Shield magic. This sixth-level earth shield was far superior to the fifth-level Water Shield in terms of defense. With Lin Tian constantly pouring in magical energy and the earth continuously replenishing itself with elemental energy, the earth shield managed to withstand the over 150 wind blades that struck it, although it did tremble violently, but ultimately held firm without shattering!
The mercenaries wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and several archers with strong bows immediately drew their bows and shot at the demon wolves 40-50 meters away! However, the demon wolves were cunning, and it was not easy to hit them. Except for one unlucky demon wolf that was killed by Ye Feng's arrow with a magic-breaking arrowhead, none of the others even lost a single hair!
"Lin Tian, brother, help me keep an eye on things, I'm going to go out and make a big attack! If we destroy the Magic Wolf King, the wolf pack will disperse!" Ye Feng said in a low voice. Lin Tian shook his head: "It's not that I look down on you, if it were just a single sixth-level Magic Wolf King, with your primary swordmaster skills, although it wouldn't be easy, there would still be a good chance of killing the Magic Wolf King. But now your opponent isn't just one, nearly a hundred magic wolves and four or five hundred giant wolves... can you handle that alone?!"
Feng Ling also said: "Captain, Lin Tian is right, we can't go out!" The other team members also started to persuade him!
"Squad leader, Lin Tian's wind blades haven't dissipated yet!" Si Lin exclaimed suddenly. Lin Tian's wind blades were simply controlled by Xiao Ling, and for Xiao Ling, it was too simple to divide his attention and use multiple techniques at once. Therefore, although most of the magic output was used on the Earth Shield, there were still ten wind blades that hadn't been consumed. The ten wind blades agilely wove in and out of the giant wolf pack, taking away the lives of one giant wolf after another!
"Aooo!" Behind a giant tree, the two-meter-tall gigantic blue wolf let out a long howl and dispersed all the other giant wolves. It probably couldn't bear to bury them all here either. Although the giant wolves weren't particularly powerful, their sheer numbers were enough to intimidate many mercenaries on a normal day!
Over 900 giant wolves, more than 500 of them died here. The bodies of over 500 wolves piled up in a heap, and the fresh blood dyed the ground around red! This scene, although much smaller compared to that of tens of thousands of zombies, but the stimulation of the fresh blood was not comparable to the dark polluted blood flowing out from the zombies' bodies!
Killing the wolf is not killing a human, Lin Tian's heart was excited, but he would not have any guilt! The giant wolf retreated, and ten wind blades went to kill the magic wolves. However, the magic wolves were not as easy to deal with as the giant wolf. The defensive power of the wind element flowing on their bodies was not weak. After breaking through the Wind Guard, it could only cut off a few hairs of the magic wolves, having almost no effect on them! As for the earth-type magic wolves, the wind blades couldn't even cut off one hair, and they couldn't break through the earth element shield on their bodies!
The Wolf King made a move, letting out a long howl. As it did, the other Wind-type Magic Wolves also let out long howls at the same time. The intense fluctuations of their wind magic caused the twenty or so Earth-type Magic Wolves to retreat tens of meters in shock! "This is bad, it's the Wind-type Magic Wolf King's special ability - Gathering Winds, gathering the magical power of all the Wind-type Magic Wolves, and can even use the 8th-level spell Super Dragon Tornado!" Ye Feng said with a somewhat pale face.
"Xiao Ling, what to do?" Lin Tian asked hastily in his mind. "Master, first, run away and immediately return to the Star Ring space; second, use the 8th-level Thunder Fury card that Karl gave you; third, consume 5,000 dimensional energy to form an extremely powerful energy pillar and kill the Demon Wolf King!"
"Use the Five Thousand Boundary Force!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth in his mind, the Thunderous Fury was given by Karl, and Lin Tian didn't want to use it now. Moreover, he also wanted to see what effect using such a huge boundary force would have! As for the first suggestion, Lin Tian directly ignored it. If they were to run away, Ye Feng and the others would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Lin Tian had some goodwill towards this mercenary group and didn't want them to be annihilated now. Moreover, escaping in such a situation was really not manly enough!
