Chapter 343: Susan
The magpie raccoon is a relatively uncommon magical creature. Because they are skilled at tracking prey, they are deeply favored by some wizard apprentices of the Demon Hunting Group.
However, the blue velvet magpie raccoon is a variant, possessing the potential to become a legendary creature, and ordinary apprentices simply cannot afford to raise one.
Therefore, with a lead, it’s very easy to lock onto a target.
“Bartholomew, a relatively well-known wizard apprentice of the Demon Hunting Group, is said to be certain to become a formal wizard within ten years.”
Because of her good relationship with Isaiah, Mona Lisa, who successfully climbed into Lynn’s circle, spoke about the information she had gathered:
“His mentor is Skin Wizard Carpenter, a first-circle middle-stage wizard. This wizard has a particular hobby, which is collecting all kinds of skins.”
“People with good looks, special magical creatures, etc., as long as he likes them, he will peel off their skin and collect it. It is said that he was once reprimanded for continuously peeling the skins of several Demon Hunting Group wizard apprentices, and for this, he built a room specifically to store all kinds of skins.”
Speaking of this, Mona Lisa couldn’t help but turn pale.
“Mm.”
Lynn nodded slowly:
“You found Bartholomew?”
“Yes.” Mona Lisa responded:
“In the White Frost Forest!”
…………
The White Frost Forest is not far from the Abyssal Rift. The forest is rich in a type of white birch tree, whose leaves are like white frost, hence the name.
Several wizard apprentices from the Black Wizard Tower hid behind trees and underground, holding their breath as they watched several abyssal creatures.
These were several turtleback demonic ants, their size comparable to small water buffalo, with tough skin and flesh, and turtle shells covering most of their backs.
Hunting turtleback demonic ants doesn’t earn many points, but their meat is fatty and delicious, deeply favored by many wizards.
Magic shops and butcher shops are willing to pay high prices in magic stones for them.
“Move!”
Accompanied by a low shout, the ambushed magic traps were instantly activated, enveloping several turtleback demonic ants.
Swamp Technique!
The hard ground instantly turned into a swamp with powerful suction, trapping several turtleback demonic ants.
Powerful Electric Net!
Arcs of electricity intertwined into a net, quickly moving through the swamp, the crackling sounds incessant.
Poison Arrows!
Dozens of dark green poison arrows emerged from the nearby white birch trees, quickly shooting towards the targets.
The hidden wizard apprentices also rushed out, waving their staffs and casting various spells.
Even though the turtleback demonic ants had extremely strong magic resistance, they were temporarily disoriented by this series of attacks.
By the time they recovered, it was already too late.
First-Order Rune โ Frost Stomp!
Extreme cold descended from the sky, instantly covering an area of โโdozens of square meters, freezing all the turtleback demonic ants to death.
“Hoo…”
A female wizard apprentice with various bizarre runes painted on her face walked out from behind a tree, grinning:
“It wasn’t in vain that we ambushed here for so long, we finally succeeded. Pack them up, we’re going back.”
“Yes!”
Several people responded.
They took out the prepared ropes and fishing nets, wrapped the turtleback demonic ants that had been frozen into ice blocks, and headed out of the forest.
They hadn’t walked far when one of them suddenly stopped:
“Li…”
“Pfft!”
Before he could finish speaking, an arrow came piercing through the air, directly piercing his throat and spraying out a jet of blood.
“Thump!”
The body fell to the ground.
“Careful!”
“There’s an ambush!”
Arrows fell like rain, continuously dropping down.
Some wizard apprentices waved their staffs and summoned defensive shields, while others transformed into gusts of wind, but they were still pierced by the arrows.
“They are magic arrows shot by a legendary knight, don’t think about resisting, dodge, dodge quickly.”
The female wizard apprentice with bizarre runes on her face screamed softly, her body darting forward, flashing behind a tree.
“Pfft!”
“Pfft pfft!”
By the time the arrow rain stopped, only three survivors remained in the field, all the others had turned into corpses on the ground.
“Swish!”
Figures flashed, and streaks of black shadows pounced towards the three people in the field.
Grand Knight!
Legendary Knight!
The newcomers were not only knights, but also possessed auras of magic, and the weapons in their hands were also magic items.
โโโ
“Demon Hunting Group!”
A Black Wizard Tower apprentice roared:
“Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the three major forces?”
The three major forces work together to eliminate demonic creatures, they should be one, but in the end, people from the Demon Hunting Group were intercepting them.
“Afraid!”
“Of course, we’re afraid!”
A cold voice came from not far away, accompanied by rustling sounds, a huge monster appeared in the field.
“But as long as we kill you, who will know it was us?”
“Besides…”
“Hunting demonic creatures, how can it be as profitable as intercepting you?”
The monster slowly revealed its form, it was actually a deformed giant more than three meters tall. On the giant’s chest, back, and even arms, there were human faces, the human faces were ferocious and occasionally emitted low roars.
As the monster appeared, a repressed and silent aura uncontrollably appeared in the hearts of several people.
First-Circle Spell โ Intimidation!
“Hundred-Faced Demon!”
Someone shouted in horror:
“You actually practice forbidden techniques!”
Most magic is strange, especially bloodline magic, but some wizards are too cruel, so they are listed as forbidden techniques.
The Hundred-Faced Demon was like this.
To practice this technique, one must first control a variant with giant bloodline, and then hunt down people who meet the requirements.
Transplant the killed people onto the variant, and finally refine it.
“As long as we kill you, who will know?” the voice sounded again, still unhurried:
“Kill them!”
The Hundred-Faced Demon roared, the ground beneath its feet exploded, and it pounced towards one of them, enveloped in a cloud of black smoke.
The power of the intimidation made the wizard apprentice unable to muster any resistance, and he was directly enveloped by the black smoke.
“Ah!”
“Crack… crack…”
The sound of a beast devouring bones rang out, and the screams also stopped abruptly.
The remaining two people turned pale, and without saying a word, they fled, casting all kinds of spells desperately.
“No chance.”
Bartholomew sneered, waved his hand, and the wizard apprentices and legendary knights beside him quickly went to meet them.
He himself leisurely strolled into the field, rummaging through the corpses for anything useful.
Magic stones, staffs, runes, the cores of abyssal creatures…
“Hey!”
“Why bother hunting demonic creatures when it’s so easy now, especially for us.”
Weighing the magic stones he had obtained, Bartholomew smiled lightly.
The wizard apprentices of the Demon Hunting Group are best at tracking and assassinating their own kind, but they are not very advantageous when facing abyssal creatures.
“Ah!”
A scream came from behind.
Huh?
A familiar voice made Bartholomew stunned. It seemed to be the scream of his companion.
“Boom!”
Before he could recover, a violent mental power swept over like a hurricane, scorching and fierce.
Wizard!
Bartholomew’s expression changed drastically, his figure flashing to get away, but he immediately realized that his hands had suddenly tightened.
It was unknown when a figure had appeared nearby, and was tightly holding his hands.
“Sizzle…”
“Ah!”
With tremendous force, his arms were directly torn from his body, and his legs were also slashed by an invisible force.
Lynn threw down the screaming Bartholomew and looked at the Hundred-Faced Demon that was pouncing over, his gaze pausing on one of the faces.
Susan?
