When the liquid containing holy light properties came into contact with the black fog, it burst out with a dazzling white light, temporarily forcing back the wolves hiding in the curtain wall that were nearby.
Although the holy light in the area where the bottle of holy water splashed was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But just as Oak thought, the dispelled curtain wall did not engulf the place purified by the holy water.
Perhaps only when the power of holy light is exhausted will the dark elements cover the place again.
Ouke's accidental action made the scarred man from the Mad Wolf Adventure Group's eyes light up:
"Great job, rookie! Everyone, throw all the things with purification properties out here!"
The scarred man also learned from his experience and realized that what can really drive away the darkness is not only the holy light, but also the purifying effect of the holy water.
However, the adventurers living near the Warcraft Mountains are not professional exorcists. How many of them would carry a large number of purification items with them?
At least none of the members of the two small adventure groups took out purification items.
Instead, the strengths of the three major adventure groups were fully revealed at this moment.
The two female mages of the Bucks Group tore open the treasured scroll of holy light and used the burst of holy light to open a path forward.
Captain Silver Fox replaced the poisoned throwing knife with a silver-plated short blade.
The ice mage of the Mad Wolf Group even distributed holy water directly to his companions, asking them to pour the holy water on their weapons and chop them.
Amid the roaring sounds produced by the collision of the dark elements and the power of holy light, the people led by the three major adventure groups tore a bloody path through the black fog where the phantom wolves gathered.
So, the adventure group fled, and a group of ghost wolves chased after them.
They chased him from the Phantom Wolf Valley to the outskirts of the sparsely wooded Warcraft Mountains, until they reached the outskirts of the temporary adventurer's camp.
When the first rays of summer morning light pierced through the treetops, the blood-soaked team finally stopped at the temporary adventurer camp on the border of the Monster Mountain Range.
The increase in the Phantom Wolf King's dark power was obviously suppressed after being touched by the sunlight.
The black fog wrapped around the ghost wolves' bodies slowly dissipated in the morning light, and the remaining more than one hundred ghost wolves disappeared into the shadows of the forest like the receding tide.
The two leaders of the small adventure groups turned pale when they counted the number of people. Their teams were each missing two people, and among them was a seriously injured thief who was eventually dragged away by a ghost wolf before finally escaping from the mountains.
On the contrary, the three major adventure groups that served as the main force to break out suffered no casualties.
"Count the damage!"
The Mad Wolf leader tore off the leather armor that was corroded by the black fog, revealing three claw marks on his back that were so deep that the bones could be seen.
The wood mage of the Bucks was urgently trying to stop the bleeding for the Silver Fox leader. His left arm was only hanging by a few strands of fascia. The arm bone severed by the Phantom Wolf King was lingering with dark power, and ordinary mid-level life-restoration potions could not restore it.
The wood mage could only use vines to fix his broken arm first, and then find a Holy Light Priest to purify the dark power and restore the broken arm after returning to Osborne Town.
After an inventory, it was found that everyone in the three adventure groups had minor injuries that needed to be cleansed, and there were also frightened and trembling ponies. Only the two team leaders, Mad Wolf and Silver Fox, were the most seriously injured.
Ork slumped on the dew-soaked rocks of the makeshift adventurer's camp, the cloth wrapped around the hilt of his sword already soaked in blood.
He looked at the black fog moving further and further away in the mountains and felt that last night was the most exciting and thrilling day he had ever experienced in his life.
If it weren't for the three major adventure groups coming to rescue him, he would probably have suffered the same fate as those adventurers who were dragged into the darkness!
…
Before the morning mist dissipated, the Beta Adventure Group rode their horses carrying werewolf materials and turned out from a small path outside Osborne Town. They ran into the three major adventure groups and the remnants of two small adventure groups who were injured and came to the main road outside the gate of Osborne Town.
As luck would have it, when the two teams met, the ones who intersected Beta and his group were the ones from the Mad Wolf Adventure Group who were responsible for stopping them outside the Phantom Wolf Valley.
"Hey, aren't these the Wild Wolf Warriors who are going to hunt down the Phantom Wolf King?"
Jimmy whistled, swinging the thick black and white werewolf tail tied to the horse's back, and was elbowed in the ribs by Anna.
Captain Mad Wolf had no idea what had happened to the Beta Adventure Group and his men in the forest before.
At this time, the claw marks on the back of his neck were still oozing black blood. He was puzzled at first, then grinned and sneered:
"You're quite the kid, aren't you? Are you hiding in a tree hole counting mushrooms? Look at your tail, why does it look so skunk-like? Did you dig it in the tree hole?"
As for adventurers, there are usually minor frictions between the groups, and it is normal for them to engage in verbal battles.
The leader of the Mad Wolf Group would not get angry because of the offense of a rookie, but since Jimmy has specifically mentioned his Mad Wolf Adventure Group, he as the leader cannot pretend to be magnanimous like a coward.
On the contrary, the scarred man behind him and several people who had seen the Beta Adventure Group should have stood up to defend the honor of the adventure group, but they were so embarrassed that they were speechless and hid behind their leader like ostriches.
Seeing that the young and energetic Jimmy was about to continue his retort, Beta quickly rode his horse in front of Jimmy and stopped him with his eyes, turning to the Crazy Wolf and smiling:
"Captain Crazy Wolf, that young man is too impulsive. He just felt underestimated by your group outside the Phantom Wolf Valley. Now that he has hunted down a werewolf, he's a little proud. I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"
Beta spoke with a sincere smile on his face and his tone was sincere and serious.
He is worthy of being the most popular adventurer in the Grizzly Bear Tavern. His level of communication with others is far superior to many ordinary adventurers.
But no matter how the Mad Wolf Captain listened to it, it sounded awkward.
No, who asked you what you hunted?
While Captain Mad Wolf was still wondering whether Beta was making a subtle criticism of their adventure group, Mark and Monica also saw Oak sitting on the horses of the three major adventure groups.
"Hey, Oak! Welcome back!"
Seeing that there didn't seem to be any obvious injuries on Oak's body, Mark felt a little relieved.
After all, he was a friend who had come all the way from Shichui Town. If he died in the Warcraft Mountains, it would inevitably make people feel sorry.
"Brother Mark! Did you also accept the mission to save me?"
Hearing Mark's voice, Oak raised his head in surprise.
He was still reflecting on why he couldn't move freely among the monsters in the blood crystal mine like Mark did in the past, but he didn't expect Mark to appear in front of him.
If they could have waited one more day in Osborne Town and entered the Monster Mountain Range with Mark and Monica, they might not have encountered such danger.
"Yes, I'm afraid I can't save you even if I accept the mission. Phantom Wolf Valley is too dangerous. I'm glad you can return safely. I'm staying at the Chunhui Hotel now. You can find me there if you need anything. Let's go into the city first."
Now is not the time to chat, so Mark said goodbye to Oak and followed the Beta Adventure Group into Osborne Town.
At this time, there were already patrolling guards on the city wall, and the barricades that One-Eyed Pabi had placed in the city gate last night had been removed at some point.
