A few people were frightened all at once.
However, Qing Liu remained unusually calm, "Don’t panic, maintain formation, we have torches."
She shouted and immediately took out the prepared torches.
[Beast Repelling Torch (Consumable)
Use: Illuminate the surroundings and repel nearby wild beasts.]
Item Introduction: A torch made by adding special herbs to the torch’s paste, which emits a strong odor that keeps wild beasts at bay.]
This was a mystical skill she learned from her master, the doctor in Upper Hidden Village. Her master was able to avoid wild animals in the forest and gather herbs thanks to this item.
It finally came in handy now.
Sure enough, the giant wolves hesitated one by one, but the Wolf Spirit Colonel shouted, "Charge, wolves, kill them!" The Wolf Soldiers leaped off the giant wolves and rushed over, waving their weapons.
These half-human, half-wolf monsters were not very frightened by the Beast Repelling Torch.
Even Qing Liu panicked this time.
The five people turned and ran; typically, in Newbie Village, as long as you ran with all your might, normal monsters couldn’t catch up.
Unfortunately, they forgot that this was not Newbie Village.
The scream that followed made Qing Liu’s hand tremble violently on the mouse. She didn’t dare look back, pressing the W key firmly, not even daring to move the camera angle.
However, the howling of the Wolf Soldiers was getting closer and closer.
Another scream rang out, it was Black and White Chess, not just the character screaming, but he was also shouting in YY, a voice chat program opened specifically for better communication. At that moment, his cries filled everyone’s headphones.
Just then, a knight in a red horse and black cloak suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
"Go quickly, I’ll handle them," the person said in a deep voice, making everyone feel like they had seen a lifesaver.
At first, the group thought they had encountered a savior, but when Qing Liu saw the person’s level overhead, she smiled bitterly. He was only Level 15... They all were stunned.
Those two didn’t care much about it; having someone to block the monsters was all that mattered, so they charged past the knight from both sides. Qing Liu followed closely, shouting as they brushed past, "Run fast, there are too many monsters!"
Xiao Jie, hearing the girl’s voice, couldn’t help but feel speechless. If I ran now, wouldn’t you all be waiting to die?
This girl was really naive.
He didn’t bother to explain. With a leap, he jumped down from the horse, facing a group of Wolf Soldiers rushing towards him without any fear.
With his strength at such a level, a mere group of little monsters was just experience in his eyes.
He swung a slash of sword energy towards the approaching Wolf Soldiers.
One Cut, Two Pieces—Sky Splitting Flash!
Swish, a slash of sword energy cut out, immediately striking three Wolf Soldiers squarely.
The Wolf Soldiers screamed in agony, becoming slightly stiffened. However, the Wolf Soldiers on both sides immediately charged past their comrades.
Xiao Jie didn’t hesitate and started running sideways; to kill so many little monsters still required some tactics, and facing them head-on was definitely the worst choice. Even if he had mastered the Supreme Sword Technique, his blood volume attribute was still that of a Level 15 minor account; he had to utilize his skill advantage as much as possible.
First, he used the AOE effect of Sky Splitting Flash to weaken them. This required making the Wolf Soldiers line up as much as possible.
Positioning, grouping, finding the angle—Sky Splitting Flash!
Swish! Another slash of sword energy cut out, this time directly striking four Wolf Soldiers.
The Wolf Soldiers howled in pain, but they were helpless; the speed difference was too significant.
Positioning—Sky Splitting Flash!
Screams were endless. Xiao Jie, taking advantage of his high agility and the speed benefit of the Golden Wild Goose Skill, kept retreating while continuously kiting these little monsters with sword energy. In a few moves, he had chopped five or six Wolf Soldiers into critical health.
"Scatter you fools!" shouted the Wolf Spirit Colonel. The Wolf Soldiers immediately fanned out to both wings, forming a pincer formation and surrounded Xiao Jie.
Seeing seven or eight Wolf Soldiers brandishing swords and attacking from all sides, not unleashing a grand vortex would have been a waste.
Secret Technique—Wind Roll Cloud!
The moment he executed the move, Xiao Jie quickly adjusted his angle, directly spinning out an arc-shaped attack path, sweeping like a tornado among the Wolf Soldiers, and in one move, he knocked down four.
Three were left critically injured.
Those newcomers had not yet run far and seeing this spectacle, they cheered.
Deceitful Fox: "Awesome master!"
Jifeng Zhiyin: "Cool, big bro."
Qing Liu: "Ah, be careful of the BOSS!"
It was the Wolf Spirit Colonel, mounted on a giant wolf, swinging a large saber as he charged forward.
Fang Changya (Wolf Spirit Colonel): Level 18 Elite, Life Value 1350.
Seeing this, Xiao Jie quickly prepared for battle. This type of cavalry-type monster was very dangerous, especially when launching a cavalry charge attack with the advantage of speed; the damage was enormous, and one could easily be killed if not careful.
However, just as the Wolf Spirit Colonel was about to reach him, he suddenly stopped.
Don’t worry, my Beast Repelling Torch can keep wild beasts from getting close.
The voice of a girl came from the side, it was Qing Liu holding the torch and had run back, standing behind Xiao Jie. The giant wolf grimaced, reluctant to come closer.
"Useless!" The Wolf Spirit Colonel roared in anger, simply jumping down from the giant wolf, and his Life Value immediately dropped back to 950.
Indeed, it’s a common issue with cavalry-type monsters: without the mount, their Life Value drastically decreases.
Xiao Jie quickly swallowed a Qi Pill—recovers 100 Inner Power Value in 10 seconds.
This item was much more valuable than Shun Qi Powder. Xiao Jie couldn’t afford it before, but ever since he learned the Monkey Wine recipe, his income had increased, and he could afford slightly better quality items. This item restored energy faster and could be a decisive factor at crucial moments.
