Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

late at night……

A few gusts of mountain wind occasionally blew into the cave from outside, and the dim candlelight flickered slightly, making everyone in the temporary camp feel a chill.

George frowned, lost in thought.

Mold has disappeared and we don't know his current situation. There's not a single clue about the ruins of the false god, and this can't go on like this...

Just as he was hesitating about whether to return to the sect's headquarters to report, a faint sound came from outside the cave.

At that moment, Gates, who was on duty, shouted, "It looks like someone's approaching!"

The faint sound gradually amplified, becoming clearer from indistinct; it was a rapid footstep.

George was interrupted by the exclamation, his eyes brightening with joy. "Could it be that Mold has returned?"

"Tap, tap, tap..." The figure moved extremely fast. Before the group had even left the temporary camp, the other party had already broken in.

A tall, slender figure entered, his silhouette gradually becoming clear in the dim candlelight.

Matthew saw a familiar face, not Mold, but...

Dolan!

At this moment, George also saw that it was Dolan who had barged in, and his face showed disappointment, but he still went up to ask.

"Why are you alone? Where are your teammates?"

Dolan's breathing was a little heavy. "I got separated from my teammates when the Spirit Crystal Snow erupted, and I've been looking for them for a long time." He waved his hand to interrupt, "This isn't the time to talk about this..."

Before Dolan could finish speaking, a commotion broke out outside the temporary camp.

Gates, looking panicked, shouted to the crowd, "Oh no! A group of monsters! They're attacking this way!"

"Damn it, Dolan, you idiot, how did you attract the monsters here!" George glared at him, his tone quite unfriendly.

Dolan remained calm, seemingly unconcerned. "Three mid-level apprentices here can easily handle that horde of magical beasts! And don't we have many more beginner apprentices?"

"Where are we going to find three intermediate-level apprentices?"

Dolan, puzzled, glanced at the group and noticed only about a dozen apprentices in the makeshift camp. He asked, "Where are they? And where's Mold?"

Just then, a gray-white wolf barged in. George didn't bother to waste words with it and swiftly punched it.

"Bang—" The sound of bones breaking came from the gray-white wolf's body, and then it flew backward and disappeared.

Soon, more magical beasts broke in. As the number of magical beasts increased, the group had no choice but to use their magic to fight.

Matthew gave Dolan a deep look, wary of him, while maintaining a safe distance.

"Eee-yah—", a humanoid monster came to Matthew and screamed at him.

This monster is half a person's height, with green eyes, claws like knives, and muscular hind legs, clearly possessing explosive power.

The humanoid monster lowered its body, its leg muscles tensing and contracting. With a sudden burst of strength, its legs sprang up like springs, lunging straight at him. Matthew reacted quickly, instinctively leaping backward to dodge the attack.

Although the humanoid monster missed its target, it had excellent balance and didn't fall. Before landing, it adjusted its body and, using the momentum of its forward charge, contracted its leg muscles and pushed off the ground like a spring, lunging straight at Matthew.

Seeing the system notification, Matthew quickly mobilized his magic power, and one after another, blazing runes appeared, condensing in mid-air to form the spell model of [Burning Hand].

"Boom—" A giant hand made of blazing flames reached out and collided with the curly-haired tribe that had soared into the air.

[Burning Hand] brought his five fingers together and grabbed the curly-haired tribesman, squeezing him hard.

Flames ignited on its body, spreading rapidly along its fur to its entire body, the terrifying heat scorching its skin.

At this moment, the curly-haired creature was engulfed by flames, its body turning into a fire person, and it couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

"Eee-ya!!!", the sound was sharp and piercing.

"Bang—" The curly-haired creature's body fell from mid-air and slammed to the ground with a dull thud.

The flames died down, leaving only wisps of white smoke, a half-human corpse as black as charcoal, and the lingering smell of burning in the air.

Matthew easily dealt with his opponent; the entire process took less than a breath.

But he had no time to stop, and with a fierce swing of his right hand, he smashed a Snow Fang Clan member who had already come to his side.

Immediately afterwards, he kicked a monster with a constitution of 6 in front of him away.

The monsters rushed into the temporary camp all at once, and the situation would not be good if multiple monsters surrounded it at the same time.

Matthew lacks defensive magic, and even with dragon scales alone, he won't last long.

Therefore, he must make full use of the system's detection capabilities, rationally allocate attack methods, and strive for a fatal blow while conserving his own resources.

"Boom!" Various flames, spells, and energies exploded inside the cave, creating a huge shockwave that even shook the mountain's stone walls.

The temporary camp was in complete disarray; candlelight flickered, desks, chairs, and various other items were broken, with debris and dust flying everywhere.

Under the relentless barrage of the crowd's sorcery, more than half of the intruding monsters were killed or wounded, and the ground was littered with the remains of various monsters.

However, everyone's magic power was also greatly depleted. Novice apprentices don't have high magic power to begin with, and they were struggling to cope with such high-intensity spellcasting.

However, this does not include Matthew. He has system prompts, and apart from a few magical beasts with higher physiques, he resolves most battles with his fists, so his magical power is still sufficient.

Robert struggled to cast an arrow spell, pinning a Bloodclaw Beast to the wall. He suddenly felt weak, a result of his magic depletion.

Taking advantage of the moment when he killed the Bloodclaw Beast, he quickly retrieved a bottle of mana-restoring potion from his spatial storage.

He had already recovered twice before, and this was the last bottle of mana restoration potion he had. If his mana ran out again, he would be doomed.

Without much hesitation, he immediately uncorked the bottle and prepared to tilt his head back and drink it.

However, just as he brought the glass bottle to his mouth, he suddenly felt the ground tremble.

"Bang, bang, bang—" A dull and heavy footstep came from outside the cave, sending chills down one's spine.

Robert watched in horror as a gigantic ape-like monster, as large as a small mountain, walked in, and he let out a gasp.

"It's over, it's all over!"

The giant ape monster moved slowly, but its enormous size inspired an indescribable fear.

Everyone noticed the arrival of the giant magical beast, and many novice apprentices showed expressions of despair.
