Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 748 - 241: Wolf Pack Ambush
Emerging from the blood mist were hundreds of Blood Crystal Wolves, their fur blazing like flames, with an aura of fierce malevolence.
Blood Crystal Wolves are a very unique kind of Demon Beast.
They belong to the Earth Attribute subset of the Blood Cloud Beast.
After breaking through to the Commander Rank, their entire bodies’ fur transforms into a crystal stone-like state, with astonishing toughness.
The hundreds of Blood Crystal Wolves are clearly the rulers of this area. Their piercing gaze is as sharp as a knife, and their size is much larger than the average wolf pup, appearing more like robust young calves.
These wolves, upon seeing living humans, did not swarm at once, which was quite unusual.
"Look!" The trainees were already petrified with fear, their gazes darting about.
Sitting a thousand meters away was a Blood Wolf King.
Several Commander-level Wolf Generals surrounded the Wolf King, with packs of wolves clustered around. The Wolf King slowly rose to its feet and lifted its neck, letting out a wolf howl.
"Aoow!"
Everyone felt as if a sense of fear exploded like popping beans beneath their skulls.
The hundred or so Wolf Soldiers, coiling their forelimbs, tails held high, charged at the trainees like a row of well-trained soldiers or unsheathed swords.
"Hiss"
Blood still warm sprayed from the throat of a Mage at the very front.
Life lasted only a few seconds. The person who had been alive just moments before now fell heavily to the ground, completely devoid of life force. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
On Lan’s side, one person was already dead.
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles," Lan’s pretty face became stern, she lifted her Magic Wand, and the fifth soul stone on it lit up, with countless icy spines descending from the sky.
The ice spines, sharp as arrows, pummeled into the pack of wolves.
Almost simultaneously, Liu Tongtian also showed no weakness.
Thunder rumbled, with purple lightning flickering, dancing like a group of snakes, pouncing onto the pack of wolves.
Lan and Liu Tongtian are the two most outstanding individuals from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, having ventured into the Dutian Beast Blood Realm together multiple times, and they were originally well-acquainted with this area.
But such a large-scale attack by Blood Crystal Wolves was their first encounter.
When faced with a crisis, the two only showed surprise for an instant, fortunately without getting disorganized.
One used the Advanced Ice Magic Ice Seal Thousand Miles, and the other used the Thunder Element Advanced Magic Thunderclap.
Their attack power was astounding, instantly slaughtering dozens of High-level Blood Crystal Wolves.
Under the leadership of the two fighters, the other trainees were no less formidable. Yun Sheng and Qi charged into the midst of the wolves.
Due to the influence of the blood mist, those trainees with lower cultivation had their abilities and Magic Power greatly diminished.
Both their chanting and reaction speed had declined compared to before.
Only Chen Lianlian and Feng Tian were slightly better off.
These two, one with a Magic Bracelet, possesses strong Mana.
As for Feng Tian, having killed hundreds of Blood Crystal Wolves earlier, he had already honed a solid killing prowess.
The two of them stormed into the pack of wolves, unstoppable, striking with lethal force.
The numbers on their Magic Badges soared.
Seeing this, Liu Tongtian’s eyes lit up with glee, casting a provocative glance at Lan.
However, at this moment, Lan’s gaze was directed elsewhere, with an expression of intrigue.
Liu Tongtian followed Lan’s gaze to see what caught her attention.
Upon looking, Liu Tongtian couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows.
Once inside the core area of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, Qi Yi blended into the wolf pack like a fish to water.
His poison was already a special Poison Magic, and combined with the newly learned Wind Magic, his attack range was even wider.
Once the wolves were touched by the Poison Magic, they all reacted slowly.
Qi executed his moves swiftly and decisively, slaying a good number of wolves.
But compared to Qi, there was another person who made Lan and Liu Tongtian feel... contemptible.
That was Yun Sheng.
Yes, truly contemptible.
Could she even be considered a mage?
The beasts they were facing were high-level Blood Cloud Beasts, and the mages who joined the battle almost all used powerful signature magic.
Unlike Qi, Yun Sheng did not use any advanced magic.
She relied solely on her speed, either in casting spells or launching attacks; Yun Sheng was faster than the average person.
Her manual dexterity was so fast it was dizzying.
As for magic, she didn’t use advanced magic, or rather, she didn’t know any advanced magic at all.
She and Qi stood side by side, like the twin blades of an axe cleaving into the pack of Blood Crystal Wolves.
Watching Qi poison a whole swath of them, Yun Sheng would either seize an opportunity to strike or cast a cunning small magic.
She didn’t confront them head-on; if there was no opportunity, she’d immediately dodge and wait for the next chance to strike a fatal blow.
However, in Lan’s view, Yun Sheng was not so simple.
It appeared that she was just seizing the chance to finish them off, but her actions were not without method.
Her moves consisted of just a single strike or a spell, but they were often lethal.
Either hitting the soul stone directly, piercing through it or with a Fire Flame Burst, striking at the wolf’s heart.
Lan had also questioned earlier how with Yun Sheng’s cultivation level she managed to set the record for the first kill of over five hundred Blood Cloud Beasts.
But now, after watching, Lan had her answer.
Every move was deadly, Yun Sheng didn’t wield any weapons, but her strikes were quicker than those of the weapon-bearing martial artists.
On several occasions, she was able to kill a Blood Crystal Wolf in one blow.
Moreover, she was killing wolves barehanded while casting spells.
If they were ordinary wild wolves, it would be understandable, but Yun Sheng was facing high-level Blood Crystal Wolves.
On Liu Tongtian’s side, the numbers on Chen Lianlian and Feng Tian’s magic badges skyrocketed.
On Lan’s side, the wolves fell like leaves before the autumn wind around Yun Sheng and Qi, leaving a ground full of corpses.
Seeing this, the other trainees were also inspired by their unstoppable force. Each of them took a deep breath and charged into the pack of wolves.
"Lan, that is a common trainee competition. Our battlefield is over there," Liu Tongtian’s gaze shifted.
Hundreds of Blood Crystal Wolves facing off against dozens of trainees; they should be able to handle it just barely.
Looking at the current situation, Liu Tongtian and Lan’s teams were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell who was superior for the moment.
Thus, the key to victory in the competition between the two teams lay with the few Commander-rank Wolf Generals and even the Blood Crystal Wolf King whose power approached that of a King-level.
According to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp’s system for calculating battle achievements:
One Blood Cloud Beast counts for one battle achievement point.
One Commander-rank Blood Cloud Beast counts for ten battle achievement points.
One King-level Blood Cloud Beast counts for a hundred battle achievement points.
Therefore, slaying the Wolf King and Commander-rank Demon Beasts is crucial!
Lan certainly knew this.
Lan’s hands gathered a surge of frosty energy, and a small ice shield shaped like a Heart Protector appeared in front of her.
This ice shield was somewhat special; whenever wolves lunged at Lan, the shield would move automatically. It was a super magic called Dragon Shield that Lan had gained from the Emperor Tree District in the Magic Forest after her breakthrough to a Holy Sanctuary Mage King.
This type of shield could block multi-angle attacks, and for a mage like Lan, it could effectively fend off sneak attacks.
Liu Tongtian also started chanting, with a layer of grey-green magical wave appearing around his body. This was the super magic Wooden Helmet Skill he had obtained after his breakthrough.
