update icon Updated at 2023/6/29 12:10:12

The werewolves separated from the main group were about to take some action when a large number of well-prepared human warriors emerged from the surrounding woods, armed with bows and arrows.

Instead of attacking the werewolves directly, they guarded the archers and waited for the werewolves to make the first move.

"Do not scatter! Attack all to the left! We'll go around the stone wall!" yelled Vol.

The werewolves began charging towards the humans on the left, ignoring the arrows flying at them and dodging carefully.

Even so, more than twenty werewolves were shot in a short time, but none of them left their post.

"Warriors, prepare to intercept! Archers retreat, mages chant fire magic, priests heal the wounded, and forest ceremony warriors standby at the rear."

Under the command of the middle-aged captain, the archers retreated to the priests' side, ready to shoot at any time with their bows drawn.

The human warriors were well prepared and defensive.

The forest ceremony practitioners planted several seeds behind the warriors, took out a small glass flask, and poured a few drops of nearly transparent purple liquid onto them.

Those who participated in the attack on the werewolves were teams of adventurers. In order to facilitate command, they were arranged in groups according to their teams.

The team on the left, which the werewolves charged, was Dirola, a gold-level adventurer team belonging to the Yeti Tannin Kingdom Adventurers' Guild.

There were nearly 120 people in this large gold-level adventurer team, with the lowest members being silver-level adventurers, and the team's composition was quite balanced.

This time, nearly 70 members were dispatched to participate in the latest S-level mission ordered by the Adventurer Guild.

S-Level Bounty: Silver Hammer Giant Wolf.Although the attack was blocked, Situotuodu still continued to ride the red wolf towards the priest.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Leave the rest to us," said a burly forest priest, holding a sacrificial hammer, standing cautiously behind the giant shielded man and in front of Cecilia.

A magical arrow wrapped in ice-blue light shot out from the treetops without any warning.

It accurately hit the left foreleg of the red wolf, Situotuodu's mount.

The penetration of the magic arrow was very strong, piercing the flesh and leaving a hole.

The magic attached to it caused the left foreleg to be instantly covered in frost.

The red wolf stumbled and fell to the ground with Situotuodu.

A silver light flashed from the side.

A huge bloody hole was opened in the belly of the red wolf mount.

Intestines flowed out.

The giant wolf let out a mournful howl.

Seeing that death was only a matter of time and his companion could not survive, Situotuodu stood up, unwilling to let his companion continue to suffer.

"Goodbye, my best brother. May you return to the wolf god with the wind."

After saying this in the wolf language, Situotuodu raised his slightly trembling giant hammer.

My friend, I will avenge you.

The red wolf seemed to understand what was about to happen, stopped howling, and closed its grey eyes filled with intense pain.

The giant hammer struck, and the beating of the red wolf's heart stopped shortly after.

With messy blue hair, a rugged face, wearing a set of light metal armor, and holding a silver spear with a faint silver light at the tip, the figure looked familiar.

"It's the [Crystal Spear]!"

"Great, there should be no problem now!"

The human warriors recognized this Mithril-ranked adventurer.

But the Mithril adventurer shook his head helplessly.

"I haven't used that elven spear in a long time... I can't stand being called by that name anymore."

The man with the giant shield looked at the surrounding warriors, who seemed to be relaxed and frowned.

"Hey! You guys! Yes, you! Stop daydreaming! Hurry up and leave; the silver hammer will enter a berserk state after losing its mount. The upcoming battle is not for you to interfere with! Leave it to us, the [Free Cavaliers]."

The soldiers then quickly withdrew, although nearly all of them were injured, and half of them had already been carried off the battlefield, unable to fight.

On the other hand, Han Mu did not participate in the battle between werewolves and humans as planned, as something unexpected happened.

At this moment, he was hiding in a patch of grass far away from the battlefield.

If he hadn't gotten carried away, this situation wouldn't have happened.

The effect of [Camouflage Mask] had worn off! The item was now in fatigue state.

The disguise effect of the skill [Mimicry] lasted for 24 hours, and the cooldown time for reusing it was 120 minutes.

This was a mistake. Han Mu had completely forgotten that the item had a cooldown time.

Now the wolf ears on his head were gone, and the wolf tail had disappeared. His skin color returned to normal.

He returned to his human state.

Should he consider himself lucky? At least he didn't turn back into a human in the village in front of Xiaoming.

Someone attacked him!

Tilting his head, an arrow grazed his hair and stuck in a nearby tree.

Someone wanted to kill him.

"You're not a werewolf?"

A young female adventurer with a brown ponytail, holding a bow and arrow, aimed at Han Mu's hiding place.

Hey miss, could you at least figure out what's going on before attacking me?

Placing the [Camouflage Mask] on his face, even though he didn't activate mimicry, he could use it as a regular mask to cover his features.

He stepped out of the bushes.

Just imagine.

A strange man with a peculiar mask emerging from the bushes.

This scene looked highly suspicious.

"Who are you! Don't move, or I'll shoot," the female adventurer warned.The voice of the female adventurer seemed to tremble a bit.

Han Mu's mouth curled slightly. The female adventurer seemed to have an unpleasant feeling in her heart.

As the arrow was about to shoot out of the bow, Han Mu's figure had quickly moved behind the female adventurer in an instant.

"Ugh, ugh..."

Han Mu covered the female adventurer's mouth with his left hand to prevent her from screaming for help.

With his right hand, he quickly grabbed both of her hands.

The longbow fell to the ground.

"Don't make noise!"

Han Mu whispered into the female adventurer's ear.

"Behave, and I won't hurt you!"

"Mmm... Mmm!"

The female adventurer seemed to struggle harder. It was really a headache since Han Mu had already shown his friendliness.

Although the current posture was a bit bad.

It seemed that he needed to explain more.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything weird."

"Mmm... Mmm!"

She still struggled, no good, this person completely ignored his explanation.

Ah, if only he had the skills of [Charm] or [Hypnosis], it would be much easier. Unfortunately, he hadn't chosen a demon-related profession and couldn't learn it.

Han Mu knocked the female adventurer unconscious with a single blow and hung her in a safe place on a tree.

Han Mu called out the [Control Interface].

Through [Life Detection], Han Mu had early locked onto the highest protection target, Si Tuotuo Duo, and the few werewolves who had entered the enemy ranks with him were now left with him alone.

Although Han Mu didn't know the name of this leader at the moment, the situation in the werewolf tribe would become very delicate if this leader were to die.

If the werewolf tribe had no such powerful successor, it wouldn't be strange for them to be wiped out by adventurers in the future.

After all, Han Mu had figured out that these humans regarded the werewolves as monsters and had no mercy.

Thinking about the future where Xiaoming and the werewolves in the village would be homeless and even slaughtered by humans, Han Mu felt that he should do something. At least their current impression of him wasn't bad. Of course, if he found out that they were doing evil in the future, he would still take back the lives of these werewolves.

He opened the [Warehouse], slid the icon, and Han Mu picked out a set of clothes that he had never worn before and stored them in the warehouse.

It was a set of black clothes, with the only feature being a black hat.

There were two thumb-sized dragon-eye stones on either side of the hat as decoration.

He immediately put on these clothes.

He found that the 'special features' were not just that, but he hadn't noticed it because it was a thumbnail icon.

Starting with the upper garment.

There was a stainless steel shoulder guard on the shoulder.

Yes, just one!

This shoulder guard was only on the left shoulder.

Then there was a fire dragon emblem on the sleeves.

Again, you read right, just one!

It was on the outer side of the right sleeve.

As for the lower garment...

There were two fire dragon emblems on the trouser legs, just like the ones on the sleeves.

The design of the whole set of clothes was very subtle.

He raised his eyebrows.

Not good! The life fluctuations of the several werewolves at the leader's side began to mix together. Was this the start of the battle?

He quickly put away the giant axe and took out a black long sword.

He pulled down the hat and adjusted the brim.

He had to act quickly.
