Chapter 588: White-robed Priest and Black-Armored Knight
Facing the seventeen or eight rapidly approaching bloody mouths and sharp fangs, the scene suddenly became thrilling and extremely tense.
Although the old magician, Bonnie and Gad are all at the peak level of the first level, their strength is even higher than that of a single rock-horned wolf.
But there is no doubt that the horned wolf's sharp claws and the sharp horns on its head can easily disembowel three people wearing ordinary cloth robes and inferior leather armor.
After all, the melee combat capabilities of these three people are almost the same as those of ordinary farmers.
"Ouch!"
At this critical moment, Teshan, who was holding a large shield, suddenly let out a hoarse roar from his throat, which immediately attracted the attention of most of the Rockhorn wolves, making him the main attack target of the wolves.
For a time, under the siege of eleven or two rock-horned wolves, Teshan, who was holding his body behind a giant shield and wearing plate armor, looked a little embarrassed, but he was finally in a stalemate with the opponent.
This is the taunting skill "Provocative Roar" that every guardian warrior will basically master.
The principle is to simulate the roar of Warcraft and the energy fluctuations it emits, making it the most threatening one in the eyes of the opponent, and then being attacked by a group.
Of course, this taunting type of skill is only effective against ordinary Warcraft with limited intelligence. If the opponent is a human or other humanoid race, it will have no effect other than being considered an idiot and being despised.
"Breaking Slash!"
After Teshan attracted most of the opponent's attention, the middle-aged mercenary captain shouted loudly, and the broad-bladed sword in his hand flashed with cold light.
The next second, the sword edge drew a fatal silver trajectory, directly killing the two swooping rock-horned wolves at their feet.
"Captain is mighty!"
Seeing this scene, the young ranger couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.
I saw him unfurling his bow and setting an arrow, and directly nailed one of the rock-horned wolves that was still struggling to the ground.
"Spear of Earth!"
"Holy Light Bullet!"
On the other side, Bonnie and the old magician finished singing again and accurately blasted the two rock-horned wolves who were caught off guard several meters away, leaving a long trace of soil on the ground.
For a time, the morale of the five-person mercenary team was greatly boosted.
There is no doubt that according to this tacit cooperation, it is obviously not a problem to continue and completely destroy the opponent!
Among them, especially the young Holy Light Priest Bonnie, who had just become a mercenary and participated in the mission for the first time, there was an encouraging look on her fair face.
When she was young, her parents were killed by ferocious monsters. Therefore, being able to eliminate these monsters that harmed the human race and prevent the tragedy from happening again is undoubtedly what she has pursued throughout her life!
However, at this moment, a change occurred.
Ouch!
Accompanied by a high-pitched and sharp wolf howl.
At some point, a giant rock-horned wolf that was obviously several times larger than an ordinary rock-horned wolf suddenly appeared.
Then, carrying the biting wind and terrifying momentum, it rushed towards the five people like a roaring cannonball!
The other rock-horned wolves that were attacking fiercely all ran away after hearing the sound. They were obviously very afraid of this giant creature of its kind.
Since all this happened in the blink of an eye, it was not until the mercenaries who were caught off guard reacted.
The giant rock-horned wolf with its huge mouth opened is already very close at hand!
In an instant, a huge sense of oppression suddenly surged into the minds of the five people. It seemed that even the surrounding air had become extremely viscous, almost suffocating.
"Fortress stance!"
This time, the one who reacted fastest was the middle-aged strong Han Teshan, who was the vanguard of the team.
With a low roar, the giant metal square shield in his hand suddenly fell to the ground and was directly embedded in the ground.
I saw him using his strong arms to hold the handle of the shield, using his body as a support, pressing against the shield, just like a strong small fortress.
Seeing this, Bonnie's long eyelashes flickered, and she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As a vanguard, Senior Teshan is quite famous in the surrounding mercenary circles. He once defended against a full-strength attack from a second-level peak monster without getting hurt.
Therefore, as long as you can withstand the impact of the giant rock-horned wolf, and then counterattack with all your strength when the opponent's attack is blocked and stiff, you may be able to defeat the opponent!
Next, something happened that Bonnie didn't expect.
As the earth trembled, in the blink of an eye, the huge and ferocious wolf head collided with the giant metal shield in Teshan's hand.
boom!
Only a deafening loud noise was heard.
The seemingly indestructible Qianwei Teshan was like a small boat in a violent storm, but was directly knocked away by the giant rock-horned wolf that was galloping towards it without any suspense.
Then he hit a tree trunk not far away, groaning and unable to get up.
The second-level high-quality shield that had followed its master through hundreds of battles also completely changed its shape, almost reducing it to a piece of scrap metal.
However, fortunately, the giant rock-horned wolf did not directly attack with its horn, perhaps because it was afraid that the shield would be directly embedded in its horn.
Otherwise, the huge horn, which is more than one meter long, is enough to easily penetrate Teshan's entire body, including the shield in his hand.
"ah!"
A shrill scream rang out, and the young ranger Gard on the side, whose slightly thin right arm was bleeding profusely, fell to his knees on the ground.
There is no doubt that although the giant horn did not penetrate the shield, it opened a large gash in the young ranger's skin.
The giant rock-horned wolf easily broke through the earth wall that the old magician had released before, and turned around again not far away.
Seeing this scene, Bonnie, whose snow-white priest robe was mostly stained red by Garde's blood, was stunned on the spot.
In front of her were two companions who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and not far away was a giant rock-horned wolf preparing to launch a second round of attack.
At this moment, the young female priest's tall and straight chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her breathing was getting faster and faster, and her delicate hands holding the staff were trembling.
She didn't know whether she should heal her companions first, or deal with threats she couldn't deal with first, or... stand there and wait to die.
"It's the third-level Rock Horn Wolf King?! How could a third-level monster appear here?!"
On the other side, the frightened and trembling voice of the middle-aged mercenary captain had already reached the ears of the young priest: "Bonnie, this is not an opponent we can deal with. Master Alva and I are here to support you. Run! Hurry!
run!"
"The captain is right, Nizi, you run first, we will be there soon!"
An old and nervous voice sounded, and the old magician echoed.
Immediately afterwards, a sad and free smile appeared on the wrinkled face of the old magician, and he murmured in his heart: "Haha, I have been a mercenary all my life, and I can protect the young man at the last moment.
It’s a perfect ending for me to leave.”
"Run? You will be there soon?"
Hearing these words full of vitality, the young female pastor's delicate body trembled, and childhood images suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ani, run! Run quickly! Your father and I are here to support you!"
Facing the terrifying monster that was banging against the door like crazy, Bonnie's mother and father stood together in front of the crumbling wooden door, shouting hysterically: "Next to the back door is the cellar, hide in, it's safe there!"
"But... mother, father, what should you do?"
Not far behind them, little Bonnie, who was only about five or six years old, raised her face with tears in her eyes and said at a loss: "Ani wants you to go with Ani!"
"Ani, don't be willful. Tomorrow is your sixth birthday. You have grown up. You should listen to your father and mother."
On the other side, Bonnie's father used his weak arms to block the hole in the door that had been pierced by the monster. He endured the pain and smiled and said: "Does Ani want to be a disobedient bad boy?
"
"No, Ani is not a bad boy, but Ani wants her father and mother to go together!"
Although the little girl was very scared, she gritted her teeth and did not leave.
"Ani, don't worry, you run away first, your father and I will be here soon!"
Ani's mother, who was panicking, forced herself to calm down and said again: "Go quickly, listen to your father and mother, and be a good child. We will celebrate your birthday tomorrow!"
"Really? Then Ani will wait for you!"
Hearing the sound, little Bonnie's clear and innocent eyes lit up and she ran away quickly.
However, the moment she just stepped out of the back door.
The shaky front door of the wooden house was finally smashed into pieces. Several black figures with scarlet eyes immediately threw the parents, whose faces were full of smiles and peace of mind, to the ground..."
Thinking of this, Bonnie's eyes turned red and she said firmly: "No, I want to stay and fight side by side with you!"
After finishing speaking, Bonnie held onto her staff tightly and stood together with the mercenary captain and the old magician.
At this time, she clearly understood.
Facing the third-level Rock Horn Wolf King, they obviously had no chance of winning... But even so, she no longer wanted to let what happened in her childhood happen again.
Ouch!
At this moment, the violent Rock Horn Wolf King had already kicked out two deep pits on the ground with its hind legs, and then ejected like a cannonball again, launching a second round of attacks!
It was late and then fast, just when the staff was pointing at Bonnie of the Rockhorn Wolf King, and the chant of "Holy Light Bullet" was just uttered the first word.
The earth trembled, and the giant bloody mouth that was rushing towards her and filled with sharp teeth was already very close to her.
At this moment, she could even clearly feel the burning breath exhaled from the bloody mouth of the Rock Horn Wolf King, which was fishy and nauseating.
"Is that the end?"
Realizing this, Bonnie's fair face had an unusually calm expression, and she slowly closed her eyes.
"Gathered energy sniper!"
At this moment of life and death, there was a violent shout from a man.
A magic arrow enchanted with armor-piercing piercing effect cut through the air like a speeding large-caliber bullet, carrying an unstoppable momentum and shot into the head of the Rock Horn Wolf King first.
The sharp arrow pierced the rough wolf skin without any hindrance and nailed directly to the Wolf King's skull.
Although it did not completely penetrate, the huge impact still threw the Rock Horn Wolf King, who was running at high speed, for more than ten meters, and fell heavily to the ground.
Ouch!
Angry and murderous wolf howls sounded, and the Yanjiao Wolf King climbed up again, his narrow wolf eyes widened, shining with scarlet brilliance, and stared straight into the direction where the arrow came from.
"Piercing volley!"
However, before the Rock Horn Wolf King started to attack, the male's roar sounded again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This time, it was accompanied by the vibrating sound of a bowstring that constantly rattled the air.
Arrows one after another, carrying the biting wind, shot into the huge body of the Rock-horned Wolf King one after another.
In just a moment, the giant body of the Rock Horn Wolf King was filled with dense arrows, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.
Wait until Bonnie, the middle-aged mercenary captain and the old magician react.
The Rock Horn Wolf King, who had been unstoppable just now and filled with murderous intent, had completely lost his breath.
For a moment, after the initial shock, the faces of the five mercenaries, including Teshan, who had at least several broken ribs, and Gad, who was clutching his arms, appeared under the big tree.
A touch of joy in the aftermath of the disaster.
At the same time, in the direction where the arrow was shot, a figure holding a heavy metal bow gradually became clearer, and then walked up to several mercenaries.
I saw this was a young man, wearing a set of black light armor and holding a heavy black metal bow. His rather handsome face revealed a bit of calmness and elegance that can only be seen in nobles.
"Lord Ryan? It's Lord Ryan, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights!"
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the middle-aged mercenary couldn't help but show a touch of respect on his face. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Ryan, for saving your life!"
"He is Lord Ryan, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights, an independent knights stationed in Gray Rock City?"
After hearing the words of the mercenary captain, Bonnie's heart began to beat loudly.
For a fledgling mercenary, or a young woman with a new love, being saved by a handsome knight is undoubtedly a story that only appears in fairy tales.
"You're welcome. Drawing a sword to help when there's an injustice is the code of conduct for a knight."
Ryan nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Bandage and treat the wounds of your companions first. I'll go see the Rock Horn Wolf King over there."
There is no doubt that in this forest with only a small number of second-level monsters, it is obviously not a normal thing for a third-order monster to suddenly appear.
Thinking of this, Ryan frowned, walked quickly to the body of the Rock Horn Wolf King, and began to squat down to check.
However, just when he had just watched it for a while.
A joking voice suddenly sounded behind Ryan: "There was a hero saving a beauty just now. I wonder if the hero who saved the beauty can save himself this time?"
