After learning the news, Annuo rode the magic wolf out of Luoshi Town and ran towards the forbidden forest.
He wanted to see what the church was like now.
On the way, they encountered several magical beasts that were out hunting, but they all avoided it from afar after seeing the level 9 Black Wind Magic Wolf.
When Annuo arrived near the town of Gruul, it was already dark.
According to Xiao, there are now seven or eight hundred monsters in the town, mainly goblins.
Half of them were elite troops above level 6, and it was impossible to attack them at all.
Looking at the outline of the town of Gruul from afar, Anno asked Liz to observe the situation through night vision.
At the north gate of the town of Gruul, there are dozens of low-level goblins guarding it.
In the past few days, goblins were occasionally ambushed and killed by nearby adventurers, causing the goblins guarding the gate to look around intently, fearing that they would be the next ones to be killed by humans.
Although Annuo can get rid of them, it is not advisable to alert them now.
Continue towards the Forbidden Forest.
After arriving at the edge of the forbidden forest, Annuo let the faster Black Wind Wolf go in to explore.
After putting Anno and Liz down, the Black Wind Demon Wolf snorted and rushed towards the Forbidden Forest.
As soon as he rushed into the forest, Annuo saw groups of goblins, gnolls and other monsters from the perspective of the Black Wind Wolf.
These monsters, which were all below level 6, hurriedly dodged when they saw the level 9 Black Wind Demon Wolf rushing towards them, and did not dare to stop it at all.
It was not until it got close to the church that the Black Wind Wolf encountered high-level goblins.
However, unless the goblins are above level 8 and can fight the Black Wind Wolf for a few moves, those below level 8 who dare to stand in front of the Black Wind Wolf will die.
The Black Wind Demon Wolf, which was charging all the way, soon arrived near the church.
At this time, outside the church, it was surrounded by a large number of elite goblins.
There were dozens of goblins sitting inside, the lowest level being level 8.
The Scythe Goblin is also in there.
This was not the first time that the Scythe Goblin came to the church, but this time when it led its troops out, it discovered that the church was different.
The concentration of magic power here is several times, or even dozens of times, higher than that of other places!
As monsters, the higher the concentration of magic in their living area, the faster they grow.
Why does the Goblin King stay in the cave and not come out?
It's not just because it's worried about being assassinated, another reason is that the concentration of magic power inside is higher than outside, which is conducive to improving strength.
But the concentration of magic power in the cave is only two or three times higher than that in ordinary places.
So, after discovering this place, the Scythe Goblins immediately occupied the church and let their people guard it.
Under the command of the Scythe Goblin, its people surrounded the church and prevented other goblin tribes from approaching it.
When the Scythe Goblin has no missions, he will bring a group of higher-level tribesmen in to practice.
Hearing the noise coming from outside, the Scythe Goblin who was practicing opened his eyes, frowned and walked out.
Then he saw a level 9 Black Wind Demon Wolf attacking the tribe's defense line.
"court death!"
After seeing the Black Wind Wolf bite a member of its tribe to death, the Scythe Goblin took out a chain sickle from behind and rushed to the Black Wind Wolf.
The Scythe Goblin grabbed the end of the chain with one hand and pinched the center of the chain with the other hand. The sickle kept spinning in the air, making a 'whooshing' sound.
"go!"
Seeing the right opportunity, the Scythe Goblin threw the sickle over.
The sharp sickle hooked straight into the belly of the Black Wind Wolf.
The Black Wind Wolf controlled by Anno noticed the Scythe Goblin when it appeared.
The Scythe Goblin who played chess in the church left a deep impression on Anno.
"Sooner or later you will become my summon!"
Anno, who was controlling the Black Wind Wolf outside, licked his lips, dodged the attack of the Scythe Goblin, and ran to the side.
Annuo mainly wanted to see how many goblins were guarding the church.
Now he knows that there are about two hundred of them outside, and more than fifty of them are only level 6 or 7.
As for the church, after the sickle goblin rushed out, more than thirty goblins of at least level 8 rushed out.
"Looks like that's all!"
After obtaining the information he wanted, Annuo immediately recalled the Black Wind Demon Wolf.
The Scythe Goblin and his tribesmen had just surrounded the Black Wind Wolf, but found that the other party suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the Scythe Goblin immediately thought of the strange goblin who had tried to assassinate him before.
It looked at the dark surroundings and gradually narrowed its eyes.
…
After getting the information he wanted, An Nuo returned to Luoshi Town to call for help.
The worst did not happen.
There are only about two hundred monsters around the church, so there is still hope of taking back the church.
After returning to Luoshi Town, An Nuo found Xue Feibai, Lu Zhishang and others.
Everyone was very happy after seeing An Nuo.
Especially Lu Yan, who sat down directly next to An Nuo.
Liz, who was standing next to them, saw this scene and was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, but she could do nothing about it.
An Nuo had instructed her to try not to reveal her face in front of humans until she had completely transformed into a human form.
"Damn bitch, my master is mine!"
Lu Yan, who was sitting next to An Nuo, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Turning around, I saw a person covered in a black robe.
An Nuo looked at everyone's panel and found that everyone's strength was increasing rapidly.
In addition to Xue Feibai who has reached level 8, Lu Zhishang has also reached level 8.
However, the latter was able to reach level 8 not entirely by hunting monsters, but by gaining mastery of skills.
It was when Lu Zhishang was performing the art of liberating souls that he realized the technique of group liberating souls - the Great Compassion Mantra, which could liberate souls within a radius of fifty meters around him at the same time.
If used in battle, it can make enemies within a five-meter radius fall into a state of 'ecstasy' - in fact, it is a control skill that makes the surrounding targets become sluggish.
The control time is determined according to the strength of the target.
For those who are weaker than Lu Zhi, the time will be longer.
For those who are stronger than him, the time will be shorter. If the gap is too big, he will not be able to control the enemy.
Before mastering this skill, Lu Zhishang had just reached level 7.
After understanding it, I directly reached level 8!
For the first time, An Nuo realized that one could gain a lot of experience by mastering skills.
As for the others, Lu Yan and Geng Qingxue were both level 7, but they were almost at level 8.
Wang Zixuan, Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen are all level 6.
Everyone is now learning first-level skills.
However, everyone's talents became stronger after reaching level 6.
Xue Feibai's [Frenzy Fight] not only improves his combat power, but also his defense power.
Lu Zhishang's [Avoid Killing] has also added a very high level of defense, and his physical defense is equivalent to wearing a layer of cloth armor.
Moreover, after saving countless souls, Lu Zhishang's [Abstain from Killing] gained a derivative skill [Iron Shirt], which doubled the defensive effect of [Abstain from Killing]!
Lu Yan's [Judgment] can accumulate twenty times her maximum attack power! It takes about ten days to accumulate it fully. After accumulating it fully, it is estimated that a level 10 monster will be killed on the spot under this attack.
Geng Qingxue's [Magic Amplification] can increase the power of magic by 20%. For this reason, the skills she is learning now are all fire magic - the destructive power of fire magic is stronger in the early stage.
The stealth effect of Meng Xin's [Shadow] has become even stronger. Even An Nuo, who is at level 10, cannot find the hidden Meng Xin in the dark.
Wang Zixuan's [Beast Affinity] can already allow her to control some level 5 monsters to do things for her, and can also prevent level 6 monsters from attacking her!
Wang Zixuan has also made great progress in archery.
He is no longer the hunter who could only fight in close combat with a machete because he often missed his shots.
As priests, Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen, the former's [Rejuvenation] will increase all treatment effects from 10% to 20% after upgrading, and the latter's [Redemption] will increase the treatment effect on serious injuries from 50% to 100%.
"very good!"
Annuo nodded with satisfaction. With their current strength, they could already participate in Annuo's next plan.
