Wind Wolf Attack

Chapter 14: The Wind Wolf Attack

The Kingdom of Fenlai is roughly over a thousand miles away from the Hanmu Kingdom.

The caravan's speed is not particularly fast.

Zhao Nan has asked Roslet, and it will take roughly three months to reach their destination.

Perhaps it is because Zhao Nan is not the protagonist, or perhaps this trade route is frequently traveled, but for a full month, nothing happened at all, not even a single incident of magical beast harassment.

Because of this, Zhao Nan has spent this month quite comfortably.

Perhaps it is because his thoughts are clear, perhaps his Visualization Technique has miraculous effects, or perhaps there is simply no bottleneck for mages between the seventh rank and the Saint realm.

Over this month, his mage rank has actually reached the ninth rank.

However, his warrior rank remains at the seventh rank.

It is not because Zhao Nan lacks talent in warrior cultivation, but because he lacks a corresponding battle qi manual.

The battle qi manual Zhao Nan currently practices is a very ordinary one; the only reason he could reach the seventh rank was due to the initial rewards from the system.

As for high-level battle qi manuals, without a strong background or a stroke of luck, they are basically impossible to obtain.

In the Yulan Continent, the only ones who can break through to the eighth or even ninth rank solely by training their physical bodies are magical beasts or the Four Ultimate Warriors.

As for ordinary people, it is simply impossible to reach such a level.

However, Zhao Nan is not worried; after all, he already possesses the rank of a ninth-rank mage, which counts as being a person of some standing in the Yulan Continent.

Of course, this ninth-rank mage status of Zhao Nan's simply means he possesses more spiritual energy and magical power than other sixth-rank mages.

After all, the Ernst Institute only teaches magic spells below the seventh rank; they do not teach spells of the seventh rank or higher. If one wants to learn those, they must join some large organization or faction.

Although Zhao Nan lacks magic spells, he is not worried.

Having read the original work, he naturally understands that cultivation ultimately leads to the study of the profound mysteries of the laws.

Precisely because of this, Zhao Nan did not announce his breakthrough to the seventh-rank mage level, but instead continued to practice silently.

It might be that one cannot study the profound mysteries of the laws before reaching the ninth-rank mage level, or perhaps the mysteries are too difficult to comprehend; even though he began studying them from the seventh-rank mage level, he still has no clue even now as a ninth-rank mage.

However, Zhao Nan has not been without gains.

Although he has not deciphered any profound mysteries of the laws, after such a long time of research, he has made significant progress in the laws of wind, earth, and fire, especially the wind laws.

Just as Zhao Nan was feeling happy about his breakthrough to the ninth-rank mage level, an unknown fluctuation suddenly appeared within his spiritual perception.

Sensing this unknown fluctuation, Zhao Nan understood that trouble had arrived.

Immediately, Zhao Nan projected his spiritual energy to see exactly what it was.

Upon checking, he couldn't help but be stunned; it was actually a pack of fourth-rank Wind Wolves.

Seeing this, Zhao Nan couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

One must know that this caravan is guarded by a sixth-rank warrior; how could mere fourth-rank Wind Wolves dare to come and stir up trouble?

But immediately after, Zhao Nan felt a bit overwhelmed.

Because there were simply too many Wind Wolves.

Even knowing that wolves are pack animals, Zhao Nan did not expect this pack of Wind Wolves to be so large, numbering over three hundred.

Seeing this, Zhao Nan gave up on the idea of secretly taking them out himself.

After all, although he is a ninth-rank mage, he lacks high-level magic spells and can only use sixth-rank magic to fight.

It would be fine if the number of enemies were small, but with over three hundred Wind Wolves, Zhao Nan felt he absolutely lacked the strength for that; it was better to call for help!

"Roslet, Roslet!"

Zhao Nan stepped out of his carriage and called out to Roslet, who was in the carriage next to his.

Roslet, who had been sleeping soundly in his carriage, heard Zhao Nan's call, hurriedly stood up, poked his head out, and looked at Zhao Nan, saying, "Mr. Zhao Nan, what is it?"

"Roslet, while I was meditating just now, I sensed the aura of magical beasts. After a careful check, I found that there are many of them, a full three hundred." Zhao Nan did not have time to mince words with Roslet and hurriedly informed him of the information he had gathered.

Upon hearing this, Roslet was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhao Nan, do you know what kind of magical beasts are attacking?"

"They are fourth-rank Wind Wolves, over three hundred fourth-rank Wind Wolves. There should also be fifth-rank or even sixth-rank beasts among them," Zhao Nan explained.

After hearing this, Roslet immediately shouted, "Alert! Prepare for battle!"

"Alert! Prepare for battle!"

"Alert! Prepare for battle!"

After Roslet shouted three times, he turned to Zhao Nan and said, "Mr. Zhao Nan, our caravan needs your help!"

"Of course, we are friends, aren't we?"

Zhao Nan naturally would not sit idly by. Whether it was because of the respect Roslet had shown him along the way, his need to hone his combat skills, or the fact that if the caravan fell, he would not be safe either, Zhao Nan would intervene regardless of reason or sentiment.

The wolf-type magical beasts in the Yulan Continent are mainly divided into three major groups: Fang Wolves, Wind Wolves, and Snow Wolves.

Among them, the Snow Wolf group has the strongest overall strength, while the Fang Wolf group is the weakest.

The Wind Wolf group falls in the middle. In the Wind Wolf clan, even the most ordinary Wind Wolves are fourth-rank magical beasts, while the elites are fifth or sixth-rank. It is said that the top powerhouses of the Wind Wolf clan can reach the eighth rank.

Zhao Nan relied on his spiritual perception to sense the pack of wolves slowly closing in on the caravan, his lips trembling slightly as he began to silently chant a magic incantation, his gaze turning resolute.

One had to know, this magical beast attack could be considered the most dangerous situation Zhao Nan had encountered since arriving in the Coiling Dragon World.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

A series of low, rumbling sounds erupted, and in the dark of night, hundreds of massive boulders, each a meter high and glowing with a faint earthy-yellow light, hurtled rapidly toward the wolf pack.

As the giant stones descended, the Wind Wolves all looked up, beginning to dodge with great speed.

This was the earth-style magic cast by Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan was well aware that the Wind Wolves were extremely fast, so he had not used wind-style magic, opting instead for earth-style magic to attack while simultaneously disrupting the pack's formation.

Following the sound of stones colliding with the ground, the Wind Wolves had already cleared the area where the boulders were falling.

However, even though the Wind Wolves were fast enough, there were still some that failed to dodge in time, being crushed to death or suffering injuries to their bodies.

Sensing this scene through his spiritual perception, Zhao Nan could not help but sigh: "As expected of Wind Wolves, their speed is truly fast."
