Li Hao is a streame...
Chapter 50
Everyone had already gathered in front of the Mage Tower, and four official mages stood behind Li Hao. After several people introduced themselves.
"You should know my situation. Regarding this monster cleanup, please tell me about your respective situations. What spells have you learned? How many spells can you cast at a time? What is your strongest skill? From left to right."
These were also taught to her by the people at the base. Although Michelle said that there would be no danger, this was still a battle and could not be taken lightly.
"Jim, I know Fireball, Hand of the Mage, Thunderstorm, and Earth Wall. My specialty is Thunderstorm, and I can cast three at a time," the red-haired, freckled man, who looked to be in his twenties, said haltingly. He was what Michelle had mentioned as this year's new official mage.
"I'm Jennifer. I'm skilled in Water Arrow, Earth Wall, Mage's Hand, Corrosive Arrow, and Tracking. I'm proficient in Corrosive Arrow. I can use it five times." Jennifer had short blond hair, wore a light, athletic outfit, and carried a sword slung across her back. She was clearly very skilled, and there was a hint of pride in her tone.
"Clark, Hand of Mage, Water Ball, Healing. He is best at Hand of Mage and can cast it three times." Clark is the oldest here, with a lot of white hair in his brown hair. He is also the person Michelle has no impression of at all.
Hearing his answer, the others couldn't help but show a hint of disgust. And the proud Jennifer looked Clark up and down.
Obviously, Clark's talent must be very poor, and the spell he is good at is the most basic spell, the Mage's Hand.
The last person to introduce himself was Morris, an "acquaintance" of Li Hao's. Li Hao's impression of him was that he was arrogant and indifferent.
You have to know that when they were taking the enlightenment class together, the three of them with superior talents never looked at people like them.
But Li Hao didn't expect that Morris had already become a formal mage.
"My name is Morris. I know four types of skills: Mage Hand, Wood Thorn, and Vine Chain. I am most proficient in Wood Thorn, which I can use four times. I have been an official mage for less than a month. Please take care of me, seniors and Lord Perry." Morris said respectfully. He has good talent, but he is only slightly better than Clark in the team.
The Mage Tower prepared transportation and each team set off for the Warcraft Forest.
The Warcraft Forest was very different from an ordinary forest. The trees in the Warcraft Forest were a reddish-black color. The land was also like that, with very clear boundaries. The first thing that disappeared upon entering was the sound of birdsong.
Although there were sounds here, they were mostly rustling and rustling. Li Hao didn't know how to hunt monsters, but fortunately the people at the base could teach her.
Under the command of the base, Li Hao ordered them to advance in a formation of two in front and two in the back, with Li Hao leading the charge and walking at the end.
On the way, she also understood why Morris, who had only been in the Mage Tower for a year, became a formal mage. It was because he had long been accepted as an apprentice by a formal mage and had learned meditation nearly a year earlier than them.
With the help of his teacher, he could also use the meditation room. Naturally, his training would be faster than that of an average mage apprentice. However, even so, he certainly wouldn't know that the second-level mage behind him was actually his classmate.
After entering the Monster Forest, they walked for about an hour and did not encounter any danger during this time, mainly attacks from insects and snakes.
But soon they encountered their first magical beast, a beast-like beast half the height of a man.
The six claws were like a spider, lying in the air. Jennifer, who was leading the charge, saw the monster at once.
Without waiting for Li Hao's order, she took action directly. Jennifer was full of confidence. As a member of a family of mages, her father was a second-level mage, and she herself was also very talented.
She shot a corrosive arrow, but the spider-like monster dodged it nimbly, injuring only one of its legs. The pain drove the monster mad.
He leaped up and headed straight for Jennifer, while Jim beside her reacted and cast a thunderstorm spell, but his aim was bad and it landed in the empty space. In this way, the two of them were essentially standing there, waiting for the monster to attack.
Li Hao watched and quickly took action. A magician's hand pressed the spider monster to the ground, turning it into a pool of green unknown objects.
The two people who were almost attacked by this monster looked on with lingering fear.
"You're too reckless." Li Hao hadn't expected these two geniuses to be so useless. Although the mage's spells were powerful, they had to be able to hit the target. They all thought the monsters were just standing targets.
Li Hao originally thought that these indigenous people would be stronger than her. After all, she had only learned shooting.
I didn't expect that there are so many mages who have no practical experience.
The two people who were told this by Li Hao felt a little ashamed. Li Hao simply asked them to stay behind, otherwise the two geniuses would rush forward and kill everyone without caring about anything.
But unfortunately, this spider monster doesn't have anything useful, not even a magic crystal.
Then they encountered two more monsters, and Clark, who was the weakest, did the most work. Every time the magician's hand hit the monster, it was a fatal blow.
But unfortunately, no magic crystals were found in the music of these two monsters.
The further they went into the Monster Forest, the more monsters they encountered. When they wanted to rest at noon, they were surrounded by a group of wolf-like monsters.
This time, under Li Hao's command, the four of them finally managed to work together properly. However, Li Hao still had to deal with the Wolf King.
I did get some magic crystals and materials from this group of monsters.
The strength of the monsters in the entire Monster Forest should not be underestimated. On the first day, Li Hao only attacked twice: once against the first spider, and the second time against the wolf king.
By the second day, the team members had improved a lot and their coordination was much better. However, Li Hao made several moves and killed many monsters that they could not deal with.
This is completely different from what Michelle said. Michelle said that every time they cleared out the monsters, their second-level mages would only have the opportunity to take action when they went deep into the hinterland.
It's only the second day, and the strength of these monsters is no longer something a first-level mage can handle.
"The beast tide feels much stronger this time." Clark said. He has been a formal mage for ten years and has participated in three Warcraft cleanups, including this one.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Is Warcraft growing?" Li Hao was also a little surprised.
"Maybe the recent beast tide encountered the Blue Moon incident. The Mage Tower hasn't taken care of the Warcraft Forest for some time." Jim said.
After two days of getting along, the atmosphere in the team was quite harmonious. At the beginning, the three of them looked down on Clark, thinking that his ability was too poor.
In the past two days, Clark conquered the three young people with his outstanding strength and various survival knowledge in the forest.
Oh, and his cooking skills also completely conquered everyone.
Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary uncle actually had such excellent barbecue skills? Even Li Hao, a foodie from another world, was conquered and took out the barbecue ingredients from his space ring.
Now, every time they finish playing World of Warcraft, they would ask Clark if they can eat it.
"But I found that there are many more magical beasts that I have never seen before, and these magical beasts do not have magic crystals." Clark also added.
"Let's all be more careful from now on, slow down a bit, and don't rush to the core area." Li Hao made a decision. She didn't really want any magic crystals or to show up in the Mage Tower. It was better to be safe.
Afterwards, Li Hao was very glad of his decision. When the 7 days were up, they walked out of the Warcraft Forest and returned to the Mage Tower, only to find out that there were many casualties in this Warcraft clearance.
Several second-level mages were seriously injured, and of course the first-level mages in their team were also sacrificed.
Among these injured mages, some are still in a coma.
Li Hao quickly found Michelle and was relieved to see that Michelle was safe and sound.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I saw that the situation was not right, so I didn't go to the core area. This beast tide is a bit strange." Michelle said. She felt relieved to see Li Hao worried about her.
"Me too. I didn't go into the core area. There are a lot of new monsters this time. These monsters don't have magic crystals yet." Li Hao nodded in agreement. Even Li Hao, who had never participated in a monster cleanup, noticed something was wrong.
"But fortunately, the three adults have already taken action, you should have seen it." Michelle was referring to the last day.
That day, Li Hao and his companions felt a strong tremor near the core area. They reached the treetops and witnessed a shocking scene: a powerful beam of light piercing the sky, and a giant metal object, as tall as a thirty-story building, stomped down step by step. The tremor they felt was coming from this.
It seems that three third-level mages have taken action.
"Are your students okay?" Li Hao asked again. Of course, she asked this question for Victoria.
"I'm a student of a formal mage, and he's in my team, so he hasn't caused any trouble." Michelle continued after answering Li Hao's question. "By the way, there are two people in your team who don't have a teacher. They have good talent, and I think you could take them as students."
"I want to try to break through to level three recently, so I may have to go into seclusion for a while. I won't accept any disciples." Li Hao shrugged. What she said was true, but the seclusion she mentioned meant going back.
"I know that everyone who gets a Level 3 promotion method will want to try it." Michelle had no doubts about this, as she had felt the same way back then. "But you'd better complete the points contribution in advance."
"I can make some magic potions and make enough for a year. I'll try it for a year. If it doesn't work after a year, I'll leave." Li Hao said this, which was also an excuse for his departure.
...
In the Warcraft Forest, in the clearing cleared by three third-level mages, a small mound protruded from the charred earth, revealing something yellow underneath.
