Luo Fan sensed that he had already tracked down the Shadow Wolf, whose target was the Fire Rain that kept the lights on overhead.
"What a clever monster! But you're unlucky to have run into me!"
Luo Fan moved his body and, the moment the ghost wolf appeared, he directly charged at it, causing it to slightly shift the distance and brush past the fire rain.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Fan stuck to the Ghost Wolf, constantly extending his tentacles to cover its eyes and restrict its movements.
The griffin howled incessantly, trying to pry the slime away with its claws, but Lovan was too cunning and always managed to step in in time, making the griffin increasingly irritable.
Before long, the wolf's eyes were scratched by its own claws.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ellie decisively released Shadow Swamp to restrict the Shadow Wolf's movement, while Emil unleashed a fire attack on its torso.
Arthur rushed over and slashed hard at its thigh.
Under Luo Fan's command, the fire rain descended, scattering flames across the sky and blurring the shadows around the Ghost Wolf, including its own shadow.
With a howl, the ghost wolf was severely injured, losing one of its front legs and its fur was set ablaze.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Fan quickly separated his tentacles to block its bleeding forelimbs, rapidly drank its blood, and constantly irritated its wounds to weaken its movement.
As the wolf's strength waned, its vitality gradually diminished, and its movements became sluggish. Arthur stepped forward again and chopped off one of its hind legs. Finally, due to excessive blood loss, the wolf collapsed to the ground.
"Did you take him down?" Ellie plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. Emil leaned against her, looking shaken.
Arthur, on the other hand, was much calmer. He hadn't expected to actually kill it; it was all thanks to the slime and the fire spirit, otherwise they might have been wiped out.
Elite magical beasts of this caliber are the targets for mercenary groups to level up. It often requires a meticulous plan and dozens of members in the mercenary group to have a chance of killing them.
And now, in such a space, the three of them managed to complete the kill, which made him sigh with admiration.
These two girls' summoned creatures are incredibly powerful!
Before long, Luo Fan had drained the Ghost Wolf's blood and even took out a crystal core the size of a grape, which he swallowed directly.
"Aili, get to work! Hurry up and collect those materials! And this corpse, it'll definitely fetch a good price when we get out!" Luo Fan, having just finished his meal, quickly reminded the others who had been resting for a while.
After being urged several times, Ellie finally got up and started working. With Emil's help, she and Arthur cleaned up the remaining mess.
Luo Fan, accompanied by Huo Yu, searched deeper into the cave and found quite a few ice and earth element crystal cores, and even two fire element ones, but no dark element ones.
Before long, the two magic bags that Ellie was carrying were full, one of which was the one left by her mother, and it had nearly 1.5 cubic meters.
Arthur's and Emil's bags were also full, with quite a few low-quality materials thrown in. After cleaning up, they found a few more magic bags, and Ellie beamed with joy.
The rewards from killing these elite monsters are absolutely amazing!
After tidying up and burying the human remains, the three left and headed out of the cave.
At this point, the third level of the dungeon was truly in chaos.
The ice wolves, which had initially come to hide, began charging upwards again because of the howls of the ghost wolves. They then encountered the adventurers at the entrance, leading to a series of fierce battles.
The guild's guardians later joined the battle, but the chaotic situation forced the adventurers to retreat to the top level, where they used the terrain to kill the monsters that were running around everywhere.
Externally, Ice Shadow Dungeon announced a temporary closure, and the guild dispatched many people to help maintain the stability of the dungeon, but that's another story.
Many of the adventurers who originally planned to capture Ellie alive ended up being devoured by the ice wolves, while the rest slunk away.
"Boss, what do we do now? Could Ellie already be dead inside?!"
"Damn it, let's go outside and keep waiting! As long as she's alive, we still have a chance! We've lost so many brothers just trying to catch a little girl, the boss will kill me if he finds out!" The middle-aged man spat and tightened his clothes.
"This damn weather is so damn cold!"
Because the dungeon is relatively sealed, the temperature inside is higher than outside, except for the areas occupied by ice-type magical beasts.
By this time, Ellie and her friends had been wandering around the dungeon for a long time, killing several ice serpents and ice wolves along the way, and finally found the path that Arthur recognized.
"No wonder I haven't heard any news about the Ghost Wolves on the third level. Those caves were really too convoluted!" Arthur rubbed his forehead, looked at the familiar path, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the dungeon to be so dangerous. I didn't even dare bring my sister here!" Emil said, holding the slime and looking at his fire sprite.
"Yes, I've learned a lot this time, and the gains are quite good. It's just that my magic ability is still too poor, I need to practice hard when I get back!" Ellie nodded in agreement.
“You guys are already amazing, achieving this on your first try. Usually, newcomers don’t even make it to the second level,” Arthur said as he walked, looking quite relaxed.
Following the road, they killed many goblins along the way and encountered several guild members before finally leaving the dungeon.
Looking at the snow-covered landscape outside, Ellie suddenly felt that the outside world was more beautiful, and that it was too oppressive inside.
"Hey, isn't this Ellie!" President Joseph looked at the familiar girl with some surprise. "You just came out from inside?"
"Yeah, thank goodness for Uncle Arthur, otherwise we'd be in danger. Guild Master, how's the situation now?"
"The area above the third level is almost completely suppressed, and many adventurers have died. You are very lucky to have come out alive."
"Um, President, do you need me to stay and help out?"
"No need, you can go back first!" After saying that, he went back to doing other things.
"Ellie, let's go sell materials at the guild, we're sure to make a fortune!" Emil pulled Ellie along, said goodbye to Arthur, and headed towards the city.
Just now, Arthur, an intermediate martial arts master, stayed behind to help handle the aftermath at the invitation of a friend.
Along the way, there were also some scattered adventurers, walking together towards the city, many of them carrying minor injuries.
Ellie and her friend were still very excited, chattering non-stop the whole way. The fire spirit, however, who had just eaten the crystal core, looked a little dazed, and was soon captured by Emil.
Luo Fan was quite excited. After absorbing the blood of the Shadow Wolf, he found that his sensitivity to shadows had increased significantly.
He greeted Ellie and actually jumped into her shadow, but the familiar noise kept echoing in Ellie's mind.
"Haha, I'm a genius! With this skill, who can catch me now!"
"Does this mean I can peep at Airi while she's taking a bath?"
"What if she finds out? Anyway, she can't catch me, hehe~"
"Luo Fan, if you dare to do that, I'll lock you in a dark room!" Ellie was furious. Her pet's first reaction to gaining a new ability was to take advantage of her.
"No, I know I was wrong, I promise I won't do it again." Having forgotten about this, Luo Fan quickly begged for forgiveness.
"Hmph!"
