Chapter 16 Wolves

Click.

A dead tree branch was broken by a straw sandal.

Then suddenly, five small, white, tender feet broke through the straw sandals and came out.

"..."

Dorothy looked down at her tattered straw sandals and fell silent.

"Tsk!"

I've been wearing these straw sandals for over a month now, even though I made them myself.

The soles of the shoes were almost completely worn through.

After thinking about it, he simply took off his straw sandals and walked barefoot on the ground.

I scratched my toes into the mud, but only felt the coldness.

"Five days have passed since we killed that black-backed boar, and we've only found three demonic beasts yet."

I only have four magic cores in my possession right now.

At the cheapest market price, that's sixty gold coins.

These gold coins, if in the hands of an ordinary person, would be enough to live a carefree life for most of their life.

But it's still far from the 200 gold coins Dorothy wanted.

"We need to find at least ten more magical beasts."

In addition to the magic cores, Dorothy also collected their teeth and claws.

However, since most of the magical beasts were enormous, she could only choose to carry some of them with her.

At this point, Dorothy began to envy Elor's mastery of spatial folding magic.

That way, you can take all the monsters you kill with you and nothing will go to waste.

"At my current rate of searching for magical beasts, it will take at least half a month to find ten more."

Dorothy frowned slightly at this thought.

She had just thought of Knight Lauren.

If she doesn't return to the village for too long, Knight Lauren will definitely complain, which will hinder her future travels.

But Dorothy's furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

Ultimately, in this world, might makes right.

For example, Uncle Zaka.

Because he was able to kill a black-backed boar on his own, he was entrusted with an important task by Knight Lauren.

The guard team currently being formed in the village is mainly led by Uncle Zaka.

Therefore, as long as he demonstrates sufficient strength, the Knight of Lauren's attitude towards him will naturally change.

After figuring it out, Dorothy tossed the straw sandals into her basket and continued her search for the monster.

After using her attribute points to raise her sword skill to level 10 over those five days, she began to improve her Flowing Water Breathing Technique.

Breathing techniques can enhance magic power and physical constitution during regular practice, and can be combined with sword skills to unleash even more powerful strikes in battle.

Another ten days passed.

Name: Dorothy Cartale

Strength: 24+

Agility: 10+

Wisdom: 13+

Skill: Flowing Water Breathing Technique LV10 (1/100)+

Flowing Water Meditation LV2 (3/20)+

Magic LV10 (1/100)+

Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (1/100)+

Loran Common Language LV3 (8/30)+

Attribute points: 0

Dorothy's skills have all been upgraded to level 10.

Only the Flowing Water Meditation Method and the Common Language of Loran were improved through my own practice.

Looking at her panel, Dorothy felt a little emotional.

"It's all thanks to hard work and sweat."

Furthermore, some subtle changes occurred after reaching level 10.

In the case of the Flowing Water Breathing Technique, Dorothy previously had to actively use it to noticeably feel the change in magical power.

This skill is now used with every breath.

In other words, Dorothy is now cultivating with every breath she takes.

The same applies to magic. After her magic level increased to 10, Dorothy felt that she had a stronger and more precise control over magic.

If I had to say something, although it wasn't reflected on the panel, Dorothy automatically learned skills like magic perception and magic enhancement.

The same principle applies to swordsmanship. Dorothy suddenly understood how to use the least amount of force to unleash the greatest power when swinging her sword.

"It seems that breaking through to level 10 in a skill means that you have a certain understanding of that skill."

Dorothy recalled that she had also gained magic power after leveling up the sixth set of gymnastics to level 10.

"It looks like if I get a new skill later, I'll upgrade it to level 10 first."

"But my biggest problem right now is still Warcraft..."

Dorothy originally thought she could encounter a magical beast every day or two, and that would mean she could get ten more magical cores in about half a month or twenty days.

Unexpectedly, after ten days, all we saw were three demonic beasts!

"I still need seven more magic cores to reach my minimum goal for this trip."

Just as Dorothy was racking her brains about how to find the remaining seven monsters...

"boom!"

An explosion suddenly rang out in the distance.

Then, in Dorothy's perception, a scorching magical energy rushed towards her from afar.

"This is... fire element?"

Because she doesn't know magic, Dorothy can't tell what this "hot" magic is, but judging from its appearance, it should be fire element.

Then Dorothy realized.

Someone used magic!

Dorothy pushed off with her feet and darted away, leaving only two small footprints in the ground.

……

"Damn it! I didn't expect to run into Frostwolf here!"

Kent swung his greatsword, forcing back a frostwolf that pounced on him, and protected Elor, who was panting behind him.

Elor had just unleashed a burst of fireballs, and her face was somewhat pale due to the large amount of magic power drained from her body.

Although three Frostwolf corpses lay on the ground, seven more Frostwolf surrounded them.

Elor will be unable to unleash powerful magic for a short period of time.

However, only three of their five-man mercenary team remained.

Two of them are now lying not far away, their bodies torn to shreds by frost wolves.

But the last three could only struggle to stay afloat.

Elor is temporarily unable to fight.

Only Kent, the captain, and another warrior, Evan, still had the strength to fight.

After repelling another wave of attacks from the wolf pack, Kent felt his magic power rapidly dwindling within him.

They knew that if things continued like this, they would all surely die!

So he took a step back, and his body bumped right into Evan.

Evan sensed Kent's movement, his expression froze for a moment, then darkened.

Kent said in a low voice:

"I'm so sorry, but there's no other way. I just want to live!"

Kent reached into the bag tied to his waist, took out a scroll, tore it open, and threw it at Elor behind him.

At the same time, Evan unleashed all his magic power, forcing back the approaching wolves, and also tore open a magic scroll, but Evan threw this scroll at the wolves in front of him.

A fireball was released from Evan's magic scroll.

Elor's eyes widened; she hadn't expected her two teammates to betray her at this moment!

Her lips moved rapidly, and a layer of blue light shone from her body.

The magic scroll, torn apart by Kent, transformed into a bolt of lightning in mid-air and struck towards Elor.

boom!

An explosion was heard.

The wolves scattered the moment they saw the fireball.

However, the fireball created a considerable amount of smoke and dust after the explosion, obscuring the surrounding area.

Kent and Evan stepped over Elor, who was struck by lightning and was paralyzed and temporarily unable to move.

The two of them used Elor as bait.

"Awoo!"

Accompanied by the howling of wolves, a cold wind swept through the forest, quickly dispersing the dust and smoke.

But by then Kent and Evan had already run far away, leaving only Elor behind.

The wolf pack quickly split into five wolves that chased after the two, while the remaining two bared their fangs and pounced on Elor.

Elor opened her eyes wide, a look of panic flashing in them.
