Chapter 17 is out!
Chapter 17 is out!
The next moment, Elor raised her hand, and a long staff appeared in her hand.
Then Elor's lips began to move rapidly again.
"Buzz!"
A series of shrill syllables came from Errol's mouth.
Then, the staff in Elor's hand erupted with dazzling lightning, forcing the Frostwolf that was pouncing on him to retreat.
Kent, who had already run far away, turned back and saw Lei Guang, immediately cursing loudly.
"You bitch! I knew she had a trick up her sleeve; she recovered from the paralysis so quickly!"
Cursing under his breath, Kent ran even faster.
The crisis on Elor's side has been temporarily resolved, but they now have to face five Frostwolf pursuers.
When facing Frostwolf, the beasts exude a chilling aura and have a layer of ice armor, making them a great counter to warriors who rely on close combat.
Although I want to try the same trick again.
The frost wolves behind him had blocked his and Evan's path back to Elor.
"what!"
Kent's heart skipped a beat when Evan suddenly yelled at him, a bad feeling creeping over him.
The next moment, that premonition came true.
Evan gritted his teeth and rammed his shoulder into himself.
Kent growled.
"court death!"
They had just teamed up to trick Elor, and now the two of them were fighting amongst themselves, even with monsters chasing them from behind.
With their lives threatened, both of them were somewhat out of their minds.
Meanwhile, Elor, who had just unleashed her lightning magic, was slumped on the ground, panting heavily.
The two frost wolves that had attacked her were lying on the ground in front of her, their bodies emitting a burnt smell.
"Luckily, I broke through to the level of a novice mage, otherwise I would be finished today."
"Senior is right, mercenaries really are a bunch of treacherous and cunning guys!"
Just as Elor stood up, supporting herself on her knees, her legs suddenly gave way again, and she fell back to the ground.
"My magic power is being used up quite a bit..."
Elor took a small bottle out of his bag, a look of pain flashing across his face, and tilted his head back to drink all the potion in the bottle.
Then, Elor's previously pale face quickly regained its color.
She picked up her long cane and quickly left.
All of this was witnessed by Dorothy, who had just arrived.
She hid in the tree trunk and made no sound.
After Elor left, Dorothy looked in the direction Kent and Evan had gone and waited for a while.
Time passed little by little.
Dorothy waited patiently.
Finally, the wolf pack that went after Kent and Evan returned.
All five wolves were somewhat injured, and one of them was lame.
Two wolves were each carrying half of the body in their mouths.
Dorothy held her breath and checked.
It's that mercenary named Evan.
It seems Kent has already sold out the mercenary named Evan and successfully escaped.
As the wolves below began to clean up the bodies of their companions and the mercenaries, Dorothy drew her short sword.
"Lion Slash!"
He silently recited a phrase, and magic surged into the short sword in his hand.
While the wolves below were gathered together, Dorothy jumped down from the tree.
boom!
"Awoo!"
The powerful magical slash instantly killed the three-headed wolf.
The remaining two were slightly stronger and barely managed to dodge Dorothy's attack, and quickly tried to retaliate.
But Dorothy's sword move, after the downward slash, followed by an upward sweep.
The frost wolf, as tall as an adult, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.
With the Frostwolf in front dealt with, the two wolves behind were now above them.
Dorothy remained unfazed and turned to deliver an elbow strike.
The powerful blow struck the Frostwolf's chin, breaking its fangs.
The Frostwolf's jaw was completely broken after being elbowed, and it turned to run away after landing.
But Dorothy was faster.
With a powerful push off the ground, he caught up with the fleeing Frostwolf and cleaved it in two at the waist with a single sword strike.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf pack was wiped out.
Dorothy stood there, letting the blood on the ground stain her feet red.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Wolf pack, I didn't expect that I was just worrying about how to collect all the magic cores, and now I've already collected them all."
Dorothy counted them; there were a total of 10 wolves, which meant 10 magic cores.
"Hehehe, I made it!"
Extract the magic cores from all the Frostwolf bodies.
Dorothy currently has a total of seventeen magic cores, which, at the lowest market price, is worth two hundred and fifty-five gold coins!
However, Dorothy looked down at the short sword in her hand.
It was covered in scratches and chips, and was in a terrible state.
It is estimated that it will be completely cut off after a few more battles.
"It's about time to get a new weapon..."
Dorothy looked at the mercenary's corpse not far away.
Those unlucky mercenaries still had inheritances on them.
Dorothy showed no disgust whatsoever.
Spending nearly a month in the giant bamboo forest has completely awakened the wildness within her.
After collecting some information...
Dorothy was somewhat disappointed.
"They're all poor bastards, with a total of three gold coins, twenty silver coins, and some loose copper coins."
"I can't take the armor I'm wearing, so I can only use the weapons, albeit barely."
Looking at the greatsword on the ground, the hilt and blade combined were almost as tall as Dorothy.
However, Dorothy picked it up, held it in one hand, and swung it around forcefully.
It's a little unbalanced, but it's usable.
With his short sword broken, this greatsword became his next weapon.
With her greatsword slung over her shoulder and her basket full, Dorothy determined her direction and headed toward the outskirts of the Bamboo Forest.
……
Just as Dorothy was about to approach the outer perimeter.
She looked at the marks she had left on the tree trunk.
"We'll be able to leave soon."
"Help!" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar scream rang out from afar.
Dorothy frowned slightly upon hearing the scream and reached out to grip the hilt of her greatsword.
Not far away, Ai Luo, dressed in rags, with tears in her eyes, bit her lower lip tightly, leaned against a tree trunk.
Opposite her, five short, green-skinned monsters wielding wooden clubs were making chattering noises.
"To think I'd run into goblins here... Is my innocence going to be ruined here today...?"
Elor's face was filled with despair.
She thought she might as well take these goblins down with her.
But now, not a single bit of magic power can be squeezed out of his body.
In this situation, she could only sob softly.
The goblins continued to approach, step by step.
He watched as the goblin extended its green finger towards him.
Elor closed her eyes in despair.
"call!"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind rang in my ears.
Elor opened her eyes, but because her vision was blurred by tears, she could only see a nimble figure flash past her, followed by five green goblins falling to the ground.
Dorothy, gripping the hilt of her sword and dragging the greatsword on the ground, walked up to Elor.
Looking at the girl sitting on the ground with a blank expression.
"Hey, little girl, why are you alone in such a dangerous place?"
Hearing the childish voice reach her ears, Elor came back to her senses. She hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve and looked at Dorothy.
"Thanks……"
She had just opened her mouth when she froze again.
