It's Wind Blade Wolf.
This group of cunning guys did not come to snatch Bloodline Fruit immediately, but they showed up after a big battle and wanted to make a profit.
The three monsters previously kept the team busy.
Now facing seven of them at once, at night, and in poor condition, it will be difficult to defeat this group of Wind Blade Wolf.
"Sir, retreat."
Marcus directly took out the Smoke-Cured Grass flint pack distributed in his hand. "The night battle is very unfavorable to us. The trap cannot stop the wolves, and my left leg is injured, so I cannot use my full strength. Now I light Smoke-Cured Grass, and I cast <Multiple Arrow> to cover your retreat, and we evacuate towards the main road."
Liszt said simply, "Okay!"
When you do it, you should do it vigorously, and when you escape, you should do it simply.
The flint has not been rubbed yet.
A shrill wolf howl pierced the eardrums. "Ah wu, ah wu, ah wu wu wu wu..."
Liszt turned around to look, but it was Dousen who had been sleeping on the ground. He had stood up at some point, raised his head, and howled like a wolf toward the sky.
Its body seemed to inflate like a balloon. The knotted muscles under its hair bulged, its eyes were bloodshot, and its teeth became more ferocious and sharp.
Quickly cast Magic Eye.
Liszt saw Dousen's earthy yellow Magic Power rising like Flame, looking like a ferocious beast bathed in fire. "Dousen!"
Dousen heard Liszt's cry and turned his head, his eyes confused for a moment.
The next moment, a familiar scene flashed by, and Liszt's command came to his ears, "Attack the prey!" It involuntarily followed the direction of Liszt's finger and rushed out.
There, there are two Wind Blade Wolf.
Seeing Dousen rushing towards him, he hurriedly retreated, but at this time Dousen was already very fast. He caught up with Wind Blade Wolf in two steps and opened his mouth to release magic.
A thicker Rock Spike sprang out from the ground and directly skewered one of the Wind Blade Wolf. Its stomach was completely pierced, and its intestines and blood leaked out.
"Woooooooooo..." Wind Blade Wolf screamed.
The other six Wind Blade Wolf rushed over and rushed towards Dousen. The battle started without any prelude. Wind Blade Wolf's Wind Blade were thrown around., when it encounters branches or trunks, it is cut directly, and the ground is plowed into ravines. Dousen's Rock Spike fires accurately, and Wind Blade Wolf can be scratched every time.
It is like a tiger among sheep, its power is unmatched. If Wind Blade Wolf wants to bite it, it will often be slapped away.
Even if it is bitten, it will only break the skin, and the muscles will bulge like a balloon, allowing it to effectively avoid the damage of Wind Blade Wolf's sharp teeth.
Then it turned back and took a bite. Wind Blade Wolf absolutely couldn't bear it and jumped away screaming.
Blood is splashing and magic is flying.
The battle between wolves and dogs was extremely brutal.
"Dousen... has evolved?" Marcus held the Smoke-Cured Grass flint bag in his hand and trembled slightly. The scene was really spectacular. Violent Earth Dog picked six Wind Blade Wolf.
Liszt's breathing was slightly rapid. He just saw the look in Dousen's eyes, which seemed to not recognize him. There was even a vague bloodthirsty anger, which was the instinct of the beast. He had no doubt that Dousen would attack him in the next moment.
Fortunately, he did not panic at the critical moment and his mind was still clear.
He quickly issued an attack command to divert Dousen's attention.
It was just as he expected.
Dousen's command to him was a conditioned reflex, so he subconsciously rushed out and attacked Wind Blade Wolf. What he didn't expect was that Dousen actually fought against six and did not lose at all.
"I don't know, its Magic Power is very violent. Maybe it's evolution, maybe it's not evolution. In any case, it needs to vent!" Liszt said in a calm tone, but with a hint of indifference, "Teacher Marcus, Dousen seems to be affected by Bloodline Fruit, and his animalistic nature is strong, so be prepared to kill him."
If Dousen really doesn't recognize his relatives later, he will attack himself.
He will never show mercy.
Marcus nodded heavily, drew out his bow and arrow, and retreated to the intact trap while paying close attention to the scene of the wolf-dog battle. "Understood!"
Retainer Knight stand in formation and guard Liszt in the center.
Wait quietly.
The battle didn't last long.
The ferocious Dousen found an opportunity, and Rock Spike stabbed a Wind Blade Wolf to death, destroying the circle of wolves, and then started his own slaughter. He suddenly grabbed a Wind Blade Wolf, and before Wind Blade Wolf could twist his body and escape, another Rock Spike emerged and pierced the opponent.
It knows how to use magic far better than Wind Blade Wolf. Rock Spike's magic is suitable for sneak attacks, and it has been trained by Liszt for a long time.
One by one.
Wind Blade Wolf was brutally penetrated to death by it.
The violent aura on its body gradually calmed down. When it was about to kill the last Wind Blade Wolf, it ran out of Magic Power and failed to release Rock Spike.
He watched helplessly as Wind Blade Wolf escaped and ran away into the distance without looking back.
For a moment it panted heavily and forgot to pursue it.
But the next moment.
Four sharp arrows flew, nailing Wind Blade Wolf, who was seriously injured, to the ground. It was Liszt and Marcus who shot at the same time and picked up a leak.
After shooting Wind Blade Wolf who slipped through the net, the two men bent their bows and arrows again, aiming at Dousen.
No shooting.
Liszt gently called to the panting Dousen: "Dousen, sit down."
Dousen was stunned, his bloodthirsty eyes flickering, as if he no longer understood Liszt's instructions, and he no longer knew who Liszt was. He just panted and stared at Liszt and the others, without any movement.
Liszt Maintain the archery posture.
There are all kinds of mixed feelings in my heart.
After only half a year of domestication, even if he was not raised as a pet, he still developed feelings for it. He didn't want to become a stranger like this and then kill Dousen with his own hands - the loss was not just a Bloodline Fruit, but also many beautiful things.
Time passed little by little.
Liszt's mood became darker little by little.
However, at this moment, Dousen slowly sat down and barked "woof" at him twice.
For a moment, his mood suddenly brightened. Liszt laughed and waved, "Dousen, come back!"
Dousen immediately waggled its tail, limped, and ran towards him. He turned over and dismounted, and touched Dousen's fur. Dousen cooperated by sticking out his tongue and licking the palm of Liszt's hand. The bloodthirsty scarlet color in its eyes had faded, and it had regained its former agility and flyingness.
Marcus smiled, turned around and shouted, "Clean the battlefield, clean up the prey, let's go back!"
The Retainer Knights were relieved from their nervousness, chatting and laughing, picking up the corpses of monsters, packing them and hanging them on their horses. During this battle, Thorn Ridge in the south may not have a single monster anymore - Thorn Ridge has been separated by the main road, fences have been built, and it is completely divided into two sections that are not connected to the north and the south.
"How is your leg injury?" Liszt asked.
Marcus replied while bandaging, "It's just a skin injury, no bones. Sir, has Dousen evolved? Has it become an intermediate-level monster?"
"I don't know, it looks... bigger."
