Mages, Adventurers, and Women

John said the main reason the camp was attacked was the discovery of a bright, magical stone tablet, which attracted monsters roaming the area, leading to the camp's destruction.

The Navia Mountains and Baron Della's castle have become forbidden areas, and there are not many maps of obscure magical stele available for Levi to choose from. The Peso Camp is the only place where the obscure magical stele is confirmed to exist.

[Tier 1 Black Dragon Rank Quest: Defeat the Tier 1 Black Dragon Rank monster, the Deer Antler Demon.]

[Reward: 50 gold coins, 10 goblin points.]

[Limited Time Offer: None]

[Mission Requirements: Bring back the heart of the Tier 1 Black Dragon-level monster, the Deer Antler Demon. The adventurer may dispose of the remaining parts as they see fit.]

Ordinary antler demons are level 1-12 monsters.

These are a group of monsters that know how to learn.

Every group of 50 or more antler demons will inevitably produce a "Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Antler Demon".

It is taller and stronger, has the ability to command the antler demon race, and has mastered three to five combat skills, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

The heart has no additional use; it only proves that the demon is a Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon.

Its antlers, marrow, and spine are excellent for alchemy and forging.

In particular, a pair of ferocious "antlers" are enormous and can be used to forge multiple weapons and equipment. They are "Black Dragon-level" raw materials and are priced starting at 100 gold coins.

According to information provided by the Adventurers' Guild, some adventurers have spotted a camp of more than 50 antler demons, located about half a day's distance east of the "Biso Camp".

Samantha also helped Levi obtain three additional normal quests that rewarded him with the task of killing a "Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Antlered Demon".

Li Wei's efforts in bed were not in vain.

He planned to first deconstruct the obscure magic stone tablet, and if he succeeded, everything would be fine.

If the situation where advancing [Rationality] leads to the summoning of the Secret World cannot be changed, then kill the "Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon" and bring some materials while waiting for [Rationality] to advance.

Even if you're teleported to an unfamiliar place, you can still exchange some gold coins.

The storage ring from the previous deconstruction of the bright magic stone tablet was strung with a beast tendon the length of Duron's arm by Li Wei and worn close to his chest as a pendant.

Thanks to Fina's concoction of the "boiling yellow liquid" left by the necromancer puppet, which was an alchemical potion she used to remove the spirit attached to the broken bones, it could also erase the spirit imprint on the storage ring.

The storage ring, measuring 1 cubic meter, contained all of Li Wei's belongings.

The Level 1 Fire Magic Book, Ranger Breathing Technique, Arcane Language Book, Elemental Choices and the Future, Spying Spell Book, Rolling Stone Town Four Dragons Compendium, Fiena's Elemental Fusion Notes, Level 1 (Tier) Mental Magic Book, and 135 miscellaneous books about various regions of the Grand Continent borrowed from the Eternal Heart.

Two-thirds of the area contained a horn-shaped jug of clear water, ten thumb-sized bottles of alchemical potions that quickly restored magic power, and Willow.

There was still some of the money belonging to Levi and Julia's team stored in the corner.

Personal wealth: 1 gold, 35 silver, and 48 copper.

Since joining Yulia's squad, I only spent 4 silver yesterday to make a sun protection shirt for Samantha.

尤利娅小队的钱财余额从91金92银82铜降到61金42银82铜。

Buy the map of the peso camp for 12 gold.

Purchase 10 days' worth of dry bread, a horn-shaped jug of clean water, Julia's arrows, and 10 bottles of alchemical potions to quickly restore magic power, for a total cost of 30 gold and 50 silver.

Li Wei deliberately left so many gold coins unspent. If he were truly summoned to a secret world and teleported to some remote corner, having money on him would make things much easier.

Dry bread, alchemy boxes, and other miscellaneous items were found in bones and Durón's animal skin bags.

Li Wei's storage ring only contained relatively valuable and important alchemical potions, water from a horn-shaped flask, scholarly books, and miscellaneous books.

Sylvie followed behind Levi, huddled around the campfire, and finished off the hard, dry bread. Her first day of adventure was gradually being conquered by Levi and his team.

Just as he was about to lean against the stone wall to rest, he was suddenly awakened by Li Wei's magic touch.

She perked up, only to see that Yuri, Bones, and Duron were already ready for battle.

Bones and Duron are in front, Livy is in the middle, and Julia is in the back.

Sylvie immediately realized what was happening and stood next to Julia, her expression serious.

"Li Wei, what's wrong?"

The spying eye sent back feedback, and Li Wei whispered:

"The Tier 1 Black Dragon-level monster Typhon Giant from the Navia Mountains and his people are approaching."

In the distance, a brown Typhon giant, over three meters tall and resembling an upright bear, charged ahead, followed by his thirty-odd smaller tribesmen.

Li Wei calmly said:

"Prepare for battle!"

……

……

Chapter 61: Explosions are the most magnificent art

"Sylvie, what type of priestly protection do you have?"

Li Wei calmly asked, watching the approaching Typhon giants.

“Protect.” Sylvie displayed her exceptional priestly qualities, drawing a miniature staff from her sleeve that resembled a conductor’s staff, adding, “It can stop Typhon!”

Li Wei turned to Julia and explained:

“There are two types of priest protection. One is like Klek’s, which is used to resist undead creatures. The other is the one that Sylvie focuses on protecting. In this situation, the cave is our natural refuge. We can have Sylvie use priest protection to block the cave entrance first, and then look for an opportunity to strike.”

Julia was taken aback and asked, puzzled:

"Li Wei, have you been infected by the bone? I am a wanderer, not a priest."

With the battle raging, Bones had no time to argue with Yulia about the minor details of being discriminated against.

While Li Wei was explaining to Yulia, Sylvie had already finished reciting the spell, and a thick, milky-white light curtain, resembling "keratin," blocked the opening that allowed the two bones to pass through side by side.

She raised her staff, and light elements flowed continuously into the priest guarding the cave entrance, saying:

"Li Wei, I can last 39 seconds."

Ignoring Julia's puzzled expression, Li Wei continued:

"As the captain of an adventurer team, what would you do if you encountered such a dangerous situation?"

Julia drew her bow and said proudly:

"What are you babbling about? I only know that I will shoot an arrow into the left eye of the leading Typhon giant near its brow bone, making a thunderous explosion, and then through the back of its head, shooting into the left shoulder blade of the Typhon giant behind it!"

Yulia kept her word.

A sharp arrow shot out with a "whoosh".

The giants leading the charge were more than 50 meters away from the cave.

The arrow shot out with a barely perceptible crisp sound, then "disappeared," and reappeared precisely at the location Julia had indicated. With a loud "boom," it blasted the Typhon Giant at the forefront, causing him to stagger and howl in pain while clutching his left eye.

"It's a pity I've only just advanced to the fourth bloodline. If I had the fifth bloodline, 'Invisibility Arrow' could definitely achieve the effect I described, blowing the head off an ordinary Typhon Giant in one shot!"

Four lines of blood appeared on the back of Yulia's hand as she held her chin up, waiting for Levi's praise.

This is one of the few times she has kept her word... half of it.

The Hunter is a hidden class that Yulia obtained from the Secret World. "Invisible Arrow" is the Hunter's first combat skill, which is extremely powerful, giving Yulia the strength to fight against Typhon Giants, a white dragon-level monster of rank 1-12.

“Yulia, as the adventurer captain, you shouldn’t have acted so rashly. Look—the Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Typhoon Giant leader has realized that your Invisibility Arrow is troublesome, and it has stopped its advance. It is preparing to use its tribesmen to wear us down.”

"If your stealth arrow waits until it gets close and hits its biggest weakness—the area near its left ear and cheek—it could very well cripple it with a single shot. But right now... did you see it protecting its cheek? It's guarding against you."

Julia had expected praise from Levi, but instead, Levi launched into a barrage of criticisms. Her happy expression froze, and she hung her head dejectedly, saying:

"I...I don't know where the Tyrant's weakness is..."

Li Wei has no immediate plans to make a move. He added, "However, your stealth arrow is quite powerful; you can use it to your advantage."

Upon hearing this, Yulia's eyes lit up, and she beamed with joy, tilting her chin up.

In her heart, as long as Livy was there, she would not worry or be afraid even if the Typhon giants attacked.

Li Wei's calm demeanor was the biggest reassurance for Yulia's squad.

The giant Typhon rushed to the cave entrance and frantically attacked Sylvie's "Priest's Protection," causing sand and gravel to fall from the cave.

“Yulia, the combat technique that Bones and Duron learned from President Langsis is called ‘Decapitation.’ It’s a powerful attack method for Tier 1 warriors. As the captain, you should guide your team members to use this combat technique effectively.”

Ignoring Julia's puzzled expression, Li Wei gave the order:

"The bones of the Typhon Giant have three weaknesses. The first is the area near its left ear and cheek, where it is most heavily guarded. Since you are shorter than it, blindly jumping will only give it enough time to react. Aim your decapitation target at the Typhon Giant's second weakness, which is located on its left side, at the fourth rib from the top."

"Duron, you are a dwarf. Forget about that damned racial discrimination when you fight. Learn to use your racial advantages."

"The third weakness of the Typhon Giant is its knees; aim your decapitation strike there."

"Next, I'll count to three and use the Mage's Hand to mark the decapitation points for you. You'll then work together to attack the Typhon Giant on the far left, understand?"

Bones and Duron were taken aback, and stammered, "You...you understand now..."

The two of them didn't understand anything about ribs or knees; they were completely confused. What was Li Wei babbling about?

"1!"

Li Wei used the hands of a sorcerer to spell out the character "father".

The priest's protective amulet, separated by Sylvie, is located on the fourth rib from the left of the Typhon Giant, counting down from the top.

"Kurich!"

Bone cursed under his breath. No wonder Li Wei was sure he knew where to attack; it was hard to ignore.

"2!"

Livy then used his magician's hand to spell out the word "dwarf" on the left knee of the giant Typhon on the far left.

“Livi, I swear, if the other dwarves find out about your actions, you will be wanted by the dwarven holy city of Bronzeforest.”

Dulong protested.

Li Wei's approach was racist, but highly effective.

"3!"

With his broadsword in both hands, the skeleton leaped into the air and shouted, "Decapitation!"

The broadsword struck "father" precisely.

Duron was not to be outdone. He pushed off with his heels, his body bursting out from under the bone's crotch. Wielding a crescent-shaped cleaver, he thrust it out from under the priest's protection and slashed at the "dwarf," shouting:

"Die, you dwarf!"

laugh--

laugh--

When Bone and Duron used "Decapitation," the three blood lines on their faces, which had just been upgraded, were vivid and incredibly bright.
