Chapter 18: Surrounded by Several Howling Wind Wolves!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the forest, after it had just learned from the cuckoo bird that people from the Magic Academy had invaded its territory, the White Wolf King ran towards that group of people at its fastest speed.
At the same time, in the process of traversing.
“Howl!” A wolf’s howl resounded through the forest.
Not long after, there were a few whooshing sounds.
A few green figures immediately followed from the grass beside it as they moved alongside the White Wolf King.
These green figures were the howling wind wolves that Jobs had raised earlier.
Creatures like wolves were naturally intelligent and organized.
This was also why a pack of seven or eight wolves could hunt a prey that was several times larger than them under the lead of the alpha wolf.
After the demon wolves were raised by Jobs, their abilities in this aspect had clearly improved.
Now, with a howl, the White Wolf King led the pack of over ten howling wind wolves and charged towards the target.
On the other side, Roddy was leading the magic students to fight intensely against the low-level demonic beasts in the forest.
Even though he had to take care of certain students, with his help, the speed at which the students hunted demonic beasts was clearly much faster.
“Swift Gale!” While chanting, Roddy cast a rank two spell.
Whoosh!
A strong gust of wind blew, and along with the wind blades, it cut into the body of a spiritual monkey that was moving around in the forest.
A scream was heard.
The spiritual monkey, which had been surrounded by the students for a long time, finally died under his attack.
Roddy immediately ordered a student to retrieve the spiritual monkey’s beast core.
As he walked towards the spiritual monkey’s corpse, aside from Roddy, many magic students also began to relax.
Because they knew that after acquiring the final beast core, they would have finally gathered the 20 beast cores that they had originally planned for and could return to the academy.
None of them had expected this that the assessment this time would end in such a manner.
Before they came, and even when Roddy cheered them on, they all wanted to experience the feeling and gain a sense of accomplishment from hunting low-level demonic beasts alone.
But when they really encountered this group of demonic beasts, let alone hunting alone, it was extremely difficult for them to hunt a low-level demonic beast together!
The low-level demonic beasts in the forest were too terrifying. This operation undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to their confidence.
Fortunately, now that they had collected 20 beast cores, they could safely return to the academy.
Roddy looked relieved as well.
He was already prepared to report this matter to the higher-ups of the academy as soon as he returned. He would get the academy to send special personnel to investigate this strange forest.
“All right, students, let’s get back to the academy,” Roddy said. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and chanted, calmly casting a spell.
Next, a layer of pale blue light spread towards everyone.
Those students who were touched by the blue light were also enshrouded by a layer of blue halo.
When a sharp-eyed student sensed Roddy unleashing magic, he immediately recognized it and exclaimed, “This is the Spirit Concealing spell!”
“Spirit Concealing spell, a rank two water spell. After the user casts it, he or she can be enveloped by a layer of water elements.”
“At the same time, all the auras of those who are enveloped will be concealed without being easily detected.”
“I didn’t expect the demonic beasts in this forest to be so terrifying.”
“For the sake of our safety, Teacher Roddy has no choice but to use a concealment spell to hide our tracks!”
Following this student’s explanation, the other students immediately understood.
It seemed that the demonic beasts in this forest were indeed different from the usual ones. Even Roddy had to become serious.
“Let’s go as well.” Looking at Roddy’s departing figure, the student leading the team spoke to the people behind him before following Roddy.
They walked through the forest.
Since they had already completed their mission, everyone felt much better after leaving the forest.
All they had to do now was follow the path they came from and return to the academy.
However, at this moment, just when everyone thought that they would be able to leave the forest successfully after such a cruel trip.
A sound that no one expected suddenly rang out in front of everyone!
“Grr!” The ferocious roar of a wild beast startled everyone.
Even Roddy himself was stunned.
Didn’t he already use the Spirit Concealing spell to hide the aura of this group of people? How did they still encounter low-level demonic beasts?!
However, it was too late for him to be stunned.
“Everyone, be careful! There’s a demonic beast!” Roddy immediately shouted and protected all the students behind him.
Then, his eyes moved and he looked ahead. He wanted to see what kind of demonic beast had come to find them.
In his line of sight, he saw a green wolf with its fangs bared, pacing slowly as it appeared before them.
The ferocious wolf’s eyes were fixed on all of them.
“Low-level demonic beast, howling wind wolf.” Seeing the green demon wolf in front of him, Roddy said out the name of this demonic beast.
However, the howling wind wolf in front of him seemed to be different from the description of the howling wind wolf in magic textbooks.
According to what was written in the magic textbook, the howling wind wolf was a weak, low-level wind demonic beast. Although it had sharp fangs, because of its size, it was very timid.
Moreover, even if it was a wind demonic beast, it only had weak wind elements on its body which increased its agility. It did not have enough magic power to use wind element skills.
Therefore, creatures like the howling wind wolf usually lived together with seven or eight howling wind wolves. They usually hunted ordinary water buffaloes with weaker offensive abilities.
However, when he looked at the howling wind wolf in front of him, he realized that it was nothing like what the textbooks said.
A pair of ruthless wolf eyes stared fiercely at them, and its body was also much bigger.
The most ridiculous thing was that the howling wind wolf in front of him had a huge amount of wind elements. Even though he was a few meters away from it, he could feel the dense wind element aura emitted by it.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in textbooks, the howling wind wolves usually lived together with seven or eight wolves.
Roddy’s expression changed and he immediately exclaimed to the magic students behind him, “Oh no! There might be other howling wind wolves around!”
As he said that, as if they had already realized that they had been discovered, the surroundings had sparse sounds once again as several howling wind wolves that were the size of the first wolf walked out from the grass one by one.
They approached the humans with ferocious expressions.
“Why are there so many of them?!” All the hidden howling wind wolves appeared at the same time, causing Roddy to be stunned as he exclaimed.
He had his reasons for being so surprised.
Because other than those basic knowledge about howling wind wolves, he had also known of a very special piece of information.
Creatures like the howling wind wolves might be timid, but they were incomparably fierce among their own kind. Seven or eight howling wind wolves together would be fine, but if there were a dozen of them together…
They would often fight fiercely for the position of leader!
But at this moment, there were actually over ten howling wind wolves moving together in front of him.
This was such a rare behavior, if it was reported, he would probably be able to directly rewrite the textbooks!
How could he not be shocked!
However, there was a smile on Roddy’s face.
Although they were surprising, these howling wind wolves were only low-level demonic beasts.
As a Rank Four Mage, he was confident of fighting against a dozen howling wind wolves!
