Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 18 The Boy Who Cried Wolf (Please continue reading)

"The wolf is coming!"

"Wolf! Run!"

"Wolf! Help!"

Shouts echoed throughout Blackwater Valley.

One after another, the emaciated wolves of the mountain roamed the fields and the cattle and sheep pens behind the houses.

How could these domestic animals possibly be a match for the exceptionally ferocious mountain wolves?

"Damn it!"

"Go to hell!"

Militiamen, armed with longswords, simple armor woven from rattan, and wooden shields, fought against the wolf pack, but many others were terrified by the ferocious wolves.

Sam, a young man who just joined the militia this year, gripped the knight's sword tremblingly, his limbs shaking. Although he had already mastered basic combat skills and his training results were among the best in the militia, he was still a member of the militia.

But when he actually faced that terrifying mountain wolf, the oppressive feeling and the bloody smell made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Sam, what are you doing? Fight!" a militia squad leader shouted from a distance.

"Captain...I...my legs won't obey me," the young man named Sam cried. His crotch was already wet, and it quickly froze in the cold winter. He had truly wet himself from fear.

Just like some birds that have survived the talons of raptors but still become paralyzed on the ground due to stress.

When humans encounter sudden fright and fear, they also fall into a state of mental blankness. This is the kind of fear of these bloodthirsty beasts that is ingrained in their bones before the age of civilization.

A mountain wolf with eerie green eyes lunged at Sam with a howl.

It had been starving for a month. Having not found food for a month, it no longer cared about its fear of the iron and fire created by humans. It only wanted to eat meat, whether it was animal or human.

"Mom, I'm going to be embraced by the Father in heaven too." Sam closed his eyes, his mind a jumbled mess.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air.

A sharp arrow pierced the sky and struck the head of the wolf that was charging towards them with lightning speed.

The wolf let out a whimper, staggered to the ground, howled in agony, and died not long after.

Sam was still in a daze, unsure if he was still alive.

Until a large, strong hand patted Sam on the shoulder.

"The merciful Father of Heaven will not accept cowards who give up the struggle. Stand up, take up your sword, and fight alongside me!"

Li Wei came up from behind and woke up the soldier who was terrified.

I couldn't help but sigh. How could soldiers like this go to the battlefield? They still lack real combat experience!

After saying that, Li Wei leaped into the air and landed directly in front of the other mountain wolf.

Li Wei's arm trembled like a phantom!

A sharp blade is drawn, a golden cross slash!

Advanced vibrational power!

Click.

The head of that mountain wolf was sliced ​​off by the sword light!

A jet of blood spurted out, splattering all over Li Wei's face.

[Golden Cross Slash Proficiency +3]

He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, then drew his bow and shot a hungry wolf fifty meters away that was tearing open a cow's belly.

"Sam, don't be afraid. No matter how sharp the wolf's fangs are, they can't compare to the longsword in your hand. Keep fighting." Sir Fred came over, patted Sam on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Sam wiped away his tears and looked at the young lord who had just beheaded the mountain wolf with a single sword strike.

He was only fourteen years old, five years younger than me, still a complete child.

But the bravery and fearlessness displayed by the young lord made him feel utterly useless.

Sam! What kind of man are you? What kind of man are you?!

"Kill them!" Sam's legs trembled as he charged toward the wolves that were attacking his companion.

On the other side, seeing that Levi had gone on a killing spree, Sir Fred quickly followed.

Such a large wolf pack must have a alpha wolf.

Moreover, the wolf king must be quite powerful to rule such a large wolf pack.

Although no trace of the Wolf King has been found so far, Sir Fred believes that the Wolf King must be watching all of this from the shadows.

Sure enough, a long, drawn-out howl came from halfway up the mountain.

A mountain wolf king, the size of an adult male polar bear, coldly watched as Li Wei and Knight Fred were wreaking havoc below.

With its biological instincts, it could sense that the two people were very strong, especially the middle-aged man.

If these two humans are not dealt with, the losses to his wolf pack may be even more severe than in the last battle with the Northern Giant Bear, since human intelligence and weaponry are far superior to those of the Northern Giant Bear.

Moreover, it could smell the scent of the Northern Giant Bear on the human boy, a scent it had also detected on its own dead companion.

Therefore, the highly intelligent mutated wolf king was determined to eliminate these two humans no matter what.

Its figure leaped and bounded like a white ghost, quickly running down the mountain. Even the cheetah's burst speed was far inferior to that of this wolf king.

To some extent, the mutated wolf king, for reasons unknown, is no longer an ordinary wild beast.

Like the knight, it broke through the strength limitations of the mountain wolf species and was no longer an ordinary wolf.

Down the mountain, around Li Wei, lay a pile of wolf carcasses. The wolves had not fled after discovering Li Wei, this ferocious god.

Instead, they fearlessly surrounded him, attempting to use their numerical advantage to bite Levi to death, but the Knight Fred stayed by Levi's side at all times.

As a retainer of the Black Serpent family, his mission is to protect the lord's safety.

Faced with this pack of wolves, the Knight Frederick displayed his terrifying strength to Levi for the first time.

The longsword in his hand was like an impenetrable wall; any wolf that tried to ambush him was killed by the Knight Fred with a single strike.

No mountain wolf could withstand a single blow from the Knight Fred.

But Li Wei could also see that at this moment, the Knight Fred had already used the power of breathing techniques. He was breathing heavily, and white steam was rising from his body in the cold winter. His eyes began to change from gentle to fierce.

"Young master, a formidable enemy is approaching. I will face the enemy with all my might. You must protect yourself," Sir Fred said coldly, and then summoned five militiamen to guard around Li Wei, protecting him in the middle.

Li Wei nodded. He also saw a white line rushing towards them from afar. It was a giant, frost-white wolf, like a white lightning bolt, that stormed into the battlefield. The three militiamen who stood in its way were all easily knocked away, and one of them was even smashed by the wolf's claws, dying a horrific death.

"Wolf King!" Li Wei said coldly.

With the militiamen protecting him, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the wolf king with his maxed-out archery skills!

Even when facing moving prey, Li Wei always manages to hit the target every time.

However, this time, when facing the wolf king, although the arrow hit its mark, it was deflected by the wolf king's sharp claws.

"What kind of speed is that?" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise.

"Lord Fred, be careful, this wolf king is no ordinary creature!" Li Wei hurriedly warned.

This wolf king is definitely stronger than an ordinary knight.

For Li Wei, it was more terrifying than a hundred ordinary mountain wolves.
