Chapter 234 Division of Labor
"What's that sound?"
Budno was so frightened by the roar that he almost dropped the wheat cake in his hand.
"Is it a monster?" Shu Li twitched his ears, quickly stood up, and picked up his magic wand, "Everyone, be on alert!"
In an instant, Team Light stopped eating and all members gripped their weapons, entering combat mode.
“Woo-wa-wa-”
Two skinny boys jumped out from behind a huge rock. Seeing Shu Li and the others, they shouted in the common language of the mainland: "Run!"
Dust rolled behind them, accompanied by deafening roars and noisy footsteps, and a hideous and huge monster suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Shu Li widened his eyes in surprise.
These monsters are tall and strong, with well-developed muscles, their bodies covered with black scales, and extremely ugly appearances, with bright red tumors on their heads. They open their bloody mouths, revealing sharp fangs and scarlet tongues, with evil light flashing in their pupils, and their bodies emitting a chilling dark aura.
Seventeen or eighteen of them appeared together, aggressive and fast as lightning, and were about to catch up with the two fleeing boys.
"Is this a monster?" Hector was so frightened that his body stiffened and his face turned pale.
He had never seen such a disgusting-looking monster in his life.
Nasha and Siti's expressions were not much better. As the monster got closer and closer, the dark energy was so powerful and terrifying that it almost suffocated them.
Shu Li raised his magic wand without hesitation and silently recited the silent wood entanglement spell. The plant roots buried deep underground instantly sprang out and entangled the monster's feet.
Then, he chanted a wind magic spell, wrapped around the two teenagers, and pulled them over.
This series of actions took only seven or eight seconds. Others only saw the monsters suddenly stop collectively. Shu Li took the opportunity to use wind magic to save the two teenagers.
While Shuli was rescuing people, Kumandi, Decio, Ace and Seleu cast magic.
Wind blades, fireballs, and fire snakes shot out at the same time, rushing towards the monster.
The monster roared and faced the magic head-on. The wind blades and fireballs only left a shallow mark on the dark scales. Although the fire snake caused considerable damage to the leading monster, it did not kill it.
The monster was enraged. It struggled hard, breaking the tree roots that were wrapped around its ankles. It put all four claws on the ground and rushed forward in anger.
Seleu frowned, quickly put away his magic wand, drew the silver sword from his waist, and released sword energy instantly.
Cross Slash——
The sword energy formed a cross of white light that swept towards the monster. The monster screamed, its body was cut into four pieces, and it fell to the ground with a bang, spurting out green sticky blood.
Seleu killed the two boys instantly with one move, attracting full hatred. The other monsters temporarily gave up chasing the two boys, locked onto him with a fierce look, growled threateningly, and surrounded him in a semicircle.
They were afraid of this human who had killed his companion, and looked at him with cold eyes. As soon as the other party showed the slightest flaw, they would rush forward and bite him ferociously.
Holding a silver sword in his hand, Seleu faced off against numerous monsters fearlessly.
"These aren't monsters!" Ace said solemnly, "The dark power within them is very strong, and ordinary magic attacks have limited damage to them."
"What should we do then?" Hector asked in horror.
Except for Seleu, they are all magic apprentices. Can they defeat these terrible monsters?
"Defend first!" Shu Li chanted advanced light defense magic, covering everyone except Seleu, including the two rescued teenagers.
After ensuring his teammates' safety, he looked down at the silent boy huddled aside. "Are you all okay? Are you hurt?"
The two teenagers shook their heads in unison and used their gloved hands to pull their hoods tighter, covering their faces completely.
Seeing that they were fine, Shu Li turned his attention to the monster.
With the strength of an intermediate greatswordsman, Seleu temporarily intimidated the monsters, but there were so many monsters that he alone probably couldn't hold on for long.
The attacks of magic apprentices are indeed insignificant, but the attacks of senior magicians and archmages are definitely effective.
These monsters may seem powerful, but they are actually not as powerful as a level six monster.
Shu Li gave orders calmly.
"Hector, use earth magic to isolate the monsters!"
"Angel, Amanda, use light magic to attack—"
"Kumandi, Nasha, Siti, coordinate your wind and fire, and focus your attacks on one monster!"
"Desio, Ace, you too!"
"I will assist everyone in all aspects - don't hold back, do your best to destroy them!"
Any creature contaminated by the power of darkness will lose its mind and go crazy. We must never allow them to break into human territory, slaughter people wantonly, and cause terrible consequences.
Moreover, these monsters were completely different from Warcraft, and were like the hellish monsters he had seen in an ancient book.
Are there monsters from hell in the Wobbe Canyon?
Unheard of!
The Magic Association did not issue any warnings to the adventurers.
Shu Li suppressed the doubts in his heart, raised his magic wand, and chanted light attack magic with his teammates.
He had just emphasized not to conserve strength, implying to the little elves and little dragons that there was no need to suppress their levels, and that the primary goal should be to destroy the monsters.
Although Seleu was outside the defensive shield and in close contact with the monsters, he was protected by sword energy and had both offensive and defensive capabilities, moving calmly between the monsters.
When teammates' magic attacks are added, the monster's hatred value is dispersed, creating more attack opportunities for it.
Hector worked hard to release ground spikes to create roadblocks for the monsters to prevent them from concentrating on besieging Seleucus.
Angel and Amanda's light balls hit the monster, and the monster immediately let out a shrill scream.
Light magic is the nemesis of dark monsters. Any part touched by the light ball will emit green smoke as if it is burned, and the solid scales cannot prevent the penetration of light elements.
Kumandi, a junior archmage, brought two real magic apprentices with him and focused their fire on one monster. They used wind blades and fireballs to knock the monster to the ground, leaving it in a bloody mess.
The monster roared and tried to attack the defensive shield, but was bound to the spot by Kumandi's wind binding technique. Nasha and Siti took the opportunity to throw fireballs at them. The damage was not great, but the insult was very strong.
Disio and Ace cooperated even better. They used wind binding and fire snakes to wrap around a monster and burn it to death. The monster instantly turned into a giant fireball and let out a shrill scream.
Every time before chanting light magic, Shu Li would silently recite the wood entanglement spell in his mind. The plant roots that emerged from the ground would silently entangle the feet of all monsters, directly reducing their mobility.
The flashing balls fell from the sky like flowers scattered by fairies, landing densely on every monster, ruthlessly destroying the scales on their body surfaces and creating bloody holes.
It can be said that he activated wood magic and light magic at the same time, improving the efficiency of his attack.
If he didn't want to hide his strength, he could use wood, light and fire magic at the same time.
The seventeen monsters were perfectly suppressed by Team Light, leaving Lanno and Luka, who had escaped with great difficulty, stunned.
"They... are so powerful!" Lujia whispered to Lanno in Elvish.
"They are more powerful than the team we met before." Lan Nuo raised his head slightly and observed the badge on the magician's chest.
Magic apprentice?
Except for the swordsman, the people in the defensive shield were all magic apprentices.
How is that possible!
The adventure team we encountered before had several high-level magicians and high-level swordsmen. Not only were they helpless against the monsters, but they were also killed in a wave.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he and Luke ran away. The monsters divided their forces into half and chased them relentlessly.
They panicked and completely lost their way. They did not encounter any more adventure teams or mercenary groups on the road. When they were about to be caught up by the monsters, they ran into this adventure team which was almost entirely composed of magic apprentices.
Unexpectedly, the monster was overwhelmed by them and had no power to fight back.
Could it be that... after the monster's body expanded, its attack power became weaker?
The two dark elf boys spoke in very low voices, but they could not escape the goblins' sensitive hearing.
Elvish?
The five attacking goblins looked at each other calmly, and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
Among humans, only magicians learn the Elvish language.
Since Elvish is the most difficult language to learn in the world, most magicians only learn the content related to spells, and only a few can actually communicate in daily life.
The two young boys spoke fluent and pure Elvish without any accent. If it weren't for the wrong location, Shu Li would have seriously suspected that they were fairy cubs.
But they obviously couldn't be goblin cubs, their ages didn't match.
The youngest goblin at present is only eight years old. There is no way that adult goblins would allow an eight-year-old goblin cub to leave the goblin forest.
Shu Li's eyes fell on the boys' hoods and gloves, and the dark elf named Morrissey appeared in his mind.
So - they are dark elf cubs!
Shu Li's pupils shrank as he remembered the information the mother tree had told him before.
Efit left Wanaku to search for Lanno and Luka who had escaped.
This week, when Shuli went to Wanaku to prune the mother tree and prune the fruits, he didn't see Efit, and a dark elf cub came to count the fruits in his place.
Shu Li had seen that cub before. It was the same age as Lan Nuo and the others, and its name was Yagri.
Whenever Efit had to leave Wanaku, Yagri would stand under the mother tree with a small notebook and count the fruits seriously.
Yagri has been recording the data for the past week, and it is obvious that Efit has not found Lanno and Luca.
These two little guys are so troublesome. Not only do they run away, but they also provoke a group of powerful monsters.
If they hadn't been lucky enough to meet Team Light, their lives would have been in danger.
Lan Nuo and Lu Jia didn't know that their identities had been discovered by Shu Li, and they watched the situation anxiously.
"Should we remind them that there is a big monster behind them?" Luke whispered.
"The big monsters haven't been seen yet. Maybe they were killed by the previous adventure group." Lannuo said, "Once these monsters are dead, let's remind them to leave the canyon quickly!"
Lujia sighed, "If we had known there would be so many disgusting monsters emerging from the bottom of the Wobba Canyon, we shouldn't have sneaked over here to collect herbs and crystal ores."
Lannuo puffed up his cheeks and said, "It's too late to say anything now. I just hope that Efit won't spank us when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Shu Li paused his magic and turned back to the two cubs in Elvish, saying, "I think your hopes will be dashed. Spanking is the best punishment for disobedient cubs."
Lan Nuo and Lu Jia were shocked and looked up at Shu Li in disbelief.
This human... can understand Elvish?
Shu Li grinned, showing them a row of white teeth.
Seeing this, the dark elf cubs became even more terrified and huddled together involuntarily.
Shu Li shrugged his shoulders, stopped scaring them, and continued chanting spells to attack the monsters.
Efit must be on the way. After we kill these monsters, we must not let the two dark elf cubs run around.
Lan Nuo and Lujia were in turmoil and were so nervous that they couldn't sit still.
This week, they ran from Wanaku to the Waba Canyon, their disguise so successful that no human discovered their true identity.
Gradually, they relaxed their vigilance and took advantage of the fact that humans could not understand the Elvish language and boldly communicated privately in the Elvish language.
They never expected that their usual conversation was overheard by a human magic apprentice.
Kumandi frowned when Shu Li mentioned the word "cub". To verify his guess, he deliberately cast a low-level wind magic inside the light shield.
A strong wind blew, lifting everyone's robes.
As expected, the hood on the dark elf's head was blown away, revealing silver-white hair, blue-gray skin, and a pair of long pointed ears.
"Sorry, I made a mistake." Kumandi apologized to his teammates without changing his expression.
Without waiting for his teammates to respond, he turned his head and looked sharply at the two bewildered young boys.
"Dark elf cub!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Lan Nuo and Lu Jia in surprise.
"God of Light, I actually met a dark elf cub here!" Hector opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Lannuo and Lujia's appearance was exposed, their delicate faces filled with horror. They clenched their weapons and pointed them at the humans with trembling hands.
Shu Li held his forehead and soothed him, "Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions."
Lan Nuo and Lu Jia were sweating profusely and expressed their disbelief.
Humans have always been profit-driven and often sneak into Vanaku to steal dark elf cubs, and then sell them to some perverted nobles at high prices.
Ever since Efit received the king's special permission to regulate the education of the cubs, humans have had no chance to take advantage.
They had made every possible preparation for this trip, drinking a potion to change their appearance. However, after being hunted by monsters for two consecutive days, the potion's effect wore off, and they had no time to replenish it, revealing their true form.
After all, they were children who had not experienced much of the world. After their identities were revealed, they were terrified and at a loss.
"roar--"
The magic apprentices paused their attack, and Seleu was under increasing pressure as he was besieged by three monsters.
Shu Li immediately said: "Kill the monster first!"
The others did not dare to slack off and continued to cast magic.
They killed seventeen monsters and only six were left. If they tried harder, victory would be in sight.
The two dark elf cubs looked at each other with trepidation. Once these humans eliminated the monsters, it would be their turn to deal with them, right?
what to do?
Will they be able to escape in a moment?
Or take the opportunity to attack from behind?
No, no, Efit taught them that dark elves do not represent evil. As long as they control the dark power in their bodies, they can live uprightly.
The Light Team increased their attack power and threw magic at the monsters without hesitation. Combined with Seleu's powerful swordsmanship, the seven monsters were killed, leaving only two.
These two were the largest, and despite being covered in wounds, they were still able to move freely and attack ferociously.
When all the attacks of Team Light were concentrated on them, they raised their heads and howled, and their cries echoed through the sky.
Seleu frowned and stepped back a few meters cautiously.
“Roar, roar, roar—”
After a deafening roar, the two monsters collided and merged!
