After a brief standoff, the Rotten Skin Wolves launched the first attack.
The shield wall made of skeletons clanged and thudded as the demon wolves rammed into it.
With the information gathering tool, Liu Nian had their attribute boxes floating above their heads, making it easier to organize focused fire on targets or retreat.
Commanding Tiffany to cast poison magic on the dire wolves in their field of vision, Liu Nian, whose damage output was insufficient, was casting fear magic on each of the dire wolves one by one.
The wolf pack tore at the skeleton shield wall, attempting to break through their defenses and threaten the vulnerable mages inside.
Meanwhile, Liu Nian commanded the highly mobile ghouls and wraiths to focus their attacks on the demon wolves on the left flank of the wolf pack, hoping to reduce their numbers as soon as possible and thus break their morale.
The actual exchange lasted only a few seconds. The skeleton and the demon child, with their low health, were quickly eliminated. Several demon wolves swarmed in and tore one of the skeletons to shreds.
Fortunately, there was a wolf's corpse nearby. After Liu Nian released a fear spell to scare away the wolf that had broken through the gap, he immediately used a summoning skeleton technique to fill the gap.
Just to be on the safe side, Liu Nian activated the Bone Armor spell before casting the Summon Skeleton spell.
After the spell was completed, three shields made of bones began to rotate around Liu Nian.
Every time the demonic wolf at the breach tried to bite Liu Nian, it was blocked by the bone shield. However, each successful resistance would cause the shield to dim considerably.
Fortunately, the bone shield protected him, so the spellcasting was not disturbed, and the summoning of the skeleton was successfully completed.
After the spell was cast and the corpse of the Rotten Wolf was split apart, several skeleton warriors rose from it.
However, the corpse of this demonic wolf was the one used to lure enemies from the outside, and it was heading this way when it was summoned.
The breach was still not plugged, and all Liu Nian could do was keep casting Fear spells to scare away the demonic wolves at the breach.
With no time to spare for the ghouls and wraiths, Liu Nian spent his time constantly casting Fear and summoning skeletons.
Then a hilarious scene unfolded on the battlefield: the dire wolf tried desperately to squeeze into the gap, but before it could even get in, it was affected by magic and ran away, and the cycle repeated itself.
"Aww!"
A wolf was caught in the heart by a ghoul, and the rest of the ghouls swarmed over it and pinned it down. After a series of scratches, the wolf's health was depleted, and it twitched once before collapsing to the ground in despair.
Under the combined attack of the summoned creatures, the demon wolves on the left flank were almost completely wiped out.
Conversely, Liu Nianfang's skeletons can be quickly replenished after being lost, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the skeletons.
After the wolf at the breach was killed, the gap was finally closed up again.
The demon child was also freed at this time, and with a leap of his long legs, he jumped over the skeleton and joined the battle to besiege the demon wolf.
The situation began to tilt in Liu Nian's favor.
At this moment, Liu Nian slowed down the speed of his spellcasting and took a moment to examine the pack of demon wolves that were now surrounded.
They discovered that one of the remaining six dire wolves was significantly stronger than the others.
Information gathering
Skill check successful
Rotten Skin Demon Wolf (Alpha Wolf)
Level: lv8
Attack power 8-12
Defense 5-6
Health Points: 250
This discovery immediately put Liu Nian on high alert, and he focused the fear magic on it.
The alpha wolf was unaware that it had also become one of Liu Nian's key targets, and at that moment it opened its mouth wide and bit off a piece of flesh from a ghoul.
"fear"
Unbeknownst to them, the fear magic, now at level three, was cast on the alpha wolf.
The alpha wolf was horrified to find its body moving away uncontrollably.
The only drawback is that the message boxes provided by the information gathering do not include any buffs or debuffs on the target.
Liu Nian was unable to determine the exact duration of the fear magic's effects.
However, this did not stop the fear magic, combined with Tiffany's poison magic, from continuously depleting the alpha wolf's health.
Commanding the ghouls to chase after the remaining demon wolves, Liu Nian planned to eliminate the alpha wolf last.
Seeing the alpha wolf surrounded, Liu Nian wasn't worried about it escaping into the mist; he just needed to make sure its summoned creatures weren't knocked away.
Without the alpha wolf to lead them, the other demon wolves were quickly dealt with by the summoned creatures.
The alpha wolf was covered in wounds, with poison and fear spells alternating around its head, and slow and fatigue spells applied to its feet.
Angering a necromancer will result in an explosion of negative emotions. Are you scared, little wolf?
Finally, the alpha wolf was struck in the brain by the ghost and died howling in agony.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing the Rotten Skin Demon Wolf and gaining 50 experience points.]
A regular player gets 60 experience points, while a leader gets 100.
Not bad, a good harvest, almost at level eight.
There are some finishing touches to be done: break their canine teeth as proof that the task is complete.
It turned out that the mage had a hard time completing this task; after tapping away for a long time with four points of power, there were still quite a few demon wolves left to deal with.
For the sake of the mission, Liu Nian could only continue typing, enduring both pain and pleasure.
As for the flesh and blood of the dire wolf, it's meat that even ghouls would avoid. Who do you expect to eat it?
Moreover, it's been described as rotten skin. Looking at the rotten flesh with a ring of blisters, can you really bring yourself to eat it?
There was good news too: the alpha wolf and the other demon wolf each left behind a complete brain, and Liu Nian, suppressing his nausea, threw them into his spatial storage.
After cleaning up the battlefield, 108 crowns and eight pairs of rotten-skinned wolf claws were found. The fangs were to be kept as quest items.
Xiao Hei retrieved two forgotten supply cards from the pile of corpses.
A box of chocolates, and a Wu Dalang sesame seed cake.
It's outrageous that currency would fall from animals.
Before nightfall, Liu Nian returned to Wushuang City.
The mercenary hall was much less crowded after nightfall. Liu Nian entered the hall and placed Fang on the table in front of the customer service lady.
The customer service representative quickly operated the screen in front of them, carefully compared the sharp teeth on the table, and then recorded Liu Nian's task as completed.
After Liu Nian returned the map to customer service, the customer service representative, seeing that the map was intact, refunded her deposit.
After another round of tedious and complicated procedures, Liu Nian finally received the mission reward as he wished.
[Task completion rate 100%, 200 experience points awarded]
"Do you need to hide your personal information?" the customer service representative asked expressionlessly.
"Could you elaborate?" I didn't quite understand what he meant.
"After completing the mission, the mercenary's information will be displayed on the screen."
"Oh, then let's keep it hidden!" We must keep a low profile!
While it's quite user-friendly, there are far too many procedures to complete tasks here compared to games.
Liu Nian reminisced about the convenience of mission materials automatically appearing on the target's corpse when he used to do missions.
The resource cards you get after completing the mission are quite useful.
A pot of pork stew with vermicelli, and a bowl of braised pork hock.
Liu Nian is a carnivore; this is the love card of his dreams.
The mercenaries who came to hand over the mission were surprised to find that the mission to kill the demon wolves had already been completed.
"No way? It's fake!"
"There's something fishy going on."
"I told you long ago that that big shot is awesome, but you still didn't believe me."
"My husband is so handsome!"
"Get out of here! He's clearly my husband!"
“Interesting. We can make contact and see if we can absorb it,” said a squad leader standing in the corner by the door.
