As the leader of the adventure team, Beta naturally cannot be as useless as the two shield warriors and just hang around the beautiful Monica.

Although Monica seems to be stronger than him.

But in his opinion, Monica should be there to protect Mark, the priest. If he wants to have a good relationship with the two of them, he has to start with Mark.

Besides, they both lived in the same suite.

What if he gets close to Monica and makes Mark unhappy? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Beta was going to strive for the title of legendary adventurer in the future. How could he offend a priest who might bring him more resources just because of a woman?

Unless he is really stupid!

"Mr. Mark, your sword skills and the unconventional way you work with your familiar are truly astonishing. Without you, we probably wouldn't be a match for this werewolf today!"

Saying nice things always gets you extra points, Beta firmly believes this.

"You're too polite. If you hadn't been there to support us, the werewolf wouldn't have fought us in this small stone hall."

Mark didn't mean to praise Beta and others by saying this.

The werewolf's advantage actually lies in its agility attribute, but since it was born in this stone hall, no matter how high its agility attribute is, it can only exert 30% of its advantage.

In the narrow stone hall, no matter how fast it ran, it could not escape Mark's pursuit.

Beta and others blocked the exit of the stone hall, completely cutting off the werewolf's final escape route.

"If you ask me, Xiao Mu's crotch-diving move is truly amazing! The familiars that Ms. Monica trained are truly clever, even knowing how to find this werewolf's weaknesses."

Jimmy suddenly raised his skinning knife and joined in the conversation between Mark and Beta. "If I had a familiar like this, I might even dare to venture into the Monster Mountain Range alone!"

Well, this young man alienated Mark and Monica's efforts with just one sentence.

Moreover, the excited boy had not noticed that the restless Xiao Mu had already poked his head out of the cloth bag around Mark's waist, and the pink gelatinous tentacles had quietly wrapped around the dry food bag around his waist.

Xiao Mu actually doesn't have much demand for dry food, but I don't know if Jimmy will taste some special flavor when he eats the dry food.

…

But it is said that it is at the top of Eagle Beak Mountain, twenty miles away from the Wolf King's lair.

A man in black robes used a prism mirror in his hand to freeze the last scene he saw.

In the morning light, Mark was carrying Xiao Mu and washing him under a waterfall where the morning sun could reach. Monica turned sideways to avoid the splashing water, and the hem of her skirt blended with the moss in the dark of the rock wall into a mixture of light and dark green.

And in the gap of Monica's waist bag, a black and white magic crystal was faintly visible.

"The planting is complete."

The hoarse chuckle startled the crows on the cliff. He snapped his fingers and shattered the icy mirror in his palm, and his figure melted away like a drop of water falling into the snow.

Monica, who seemed to be sensing something in the valley, looked up and looked around, but found nothing.

Anna, wearing a hood, also frowned and looked into the distance, with a trace of sadness between her brows that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"Well, we've been delayed for so long, and we don't know if the Mad Wolf Mercenaries have captured the Phantom Wolf King yet. Why don't we go and take a look!"

————

Time goes back to when the Mad Wolf Leader saw the Phantom Wolf King stepping on a dark circle of light and coming to the back of the wolf pack.

When he saw the halo beneath the Ghost Wolf King, the Mad Wolf leader knew that his plans for today had failed!

When the dark circle of light under the Phantom Wolf King expanded, thick black mist began to rise from the surface of the wolves covered by it, and the dark elements wrapped on the Phantom Wolf's claws almost condensed into substance.

The Mad Wolf leader rushed to the end of the team and chopped the neck of a ghost wolf that had already pounced in front of him with an axe.

The force that should have been able to directly cut the lumbar vertebrae of a third-level ghost wolf only penetrated three inches and could not go any deeper.

Moreover, the dark mist surrounding the phantom wolf wrapped around the axe blade like a living thing, colliding with the magic attached to the surface of the fine steel axe blade, making a crackling sound.

These dark mists actually have the effect of corroding magic!

"Fire wall! Keep going...speed up!"

Seeing that even the Mad Wolf Captain couldn't kill the third-level Phantom Wolf with one axe, the Silver Fox Captain knew that they couldn't stay here for long.

He could only cooperate with the Bucks Captain to quickly kill the Phantom Wolf blocking their way.

The sooner they leave Wolf Valley, the safer they will be.

However, when the fire mages and archers, who had replenished their magic power, shot fireballs and rockets again into the forest farther away, they only saw the few flames that had just risen being swallowed up by the black fog in the blink of an eye.

The raging flames that should have exploded only turned into a few wisps of green smoke in the black fog.

The burning zone behind them, which was originally used to block the wolves, now became a barrier of surging black fog.

All things are equal, the fire element is no nobler than the dark element!

When the quantity and quality of dark elements far exceed those of the burning fire elements, these free and uncontrolled fire elements will only be extinguished and form a breeding ground for the growth of dark elements!

More than thirty ghost wolves hid in the barrier shrouded by dark elements, and rushed straight to the rear of the team where the defense was the weakest, carrying the ashes of the fire!

"save--"

A shield warrior from a small adventure group leaning on the inner side had his shield simultaneously grabbed by four claw blades extending from the barrier. The fine iron shield became as brittle as a pancake under the erosion of the black fog.

His screams stopped abruptly as he was dragged into the black fog by two phantom wolves. Only an empty pony's back was left in the team, announcing that its owner had disappeared.

The sudden scene completely broke down the psychological defenses of the two members of the small adventure group.

They screamed and squeezed their horses' bellies hard, trying to urge the ponies under them to escape from this valley that was about to turn into hell.

The Stag Captain swept his silver spear across, forcing back three giant wolves. He turned and roared at the chaotic formation:

"Stay away from the curtain wall and gather in the rocky area! Move in pairs, watching out for each other!"

But at this time, the two small adventure groups had already been torn to pieces by the wolves.

After the first shield warrior was dragged into the curtain wall, a thief tried to jump out of the encirclement by stepping on his companion's shoulders, but his legs were cut off in mid-air by the giant shadow blade swung by the Phantom Wolf King.

Two more people, like the shield warrior, were dragged into the dark wall along with their ponies!

"Use holy water! Do you have any holy water? Let's banish the darkness around us first!"

Oak suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly in the middle of the team, while throwing a bottle of holy water in his arms at the dark curtain wall.

This bottle of holy water was purchased by Oak and Mark in a small town church during the caravan journey.

He had always regarded it as a temporary emergency medicine, but he didn't expect it to work at this time.

Although the Church of the Holy Light says that holy light is no more noble than other elements, it also says that light can dispel darkness.

Holy light has the effect of dispelling and purifying.

At least the area illuminated by the holy light should not be directly swallowed up and transformed into a hotbed for the spread of the dark curtain wall like the area burned by the fire element!
