The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a calf-sized vicious dog with flames all over its body suddenly jumped out from the side of the caravan, and suddenly threw a horseman who was driving a carriage to the ground, bit off the horseman's head in one bite, and chewed it.

The horseman's body was also corroded by some kind of fire poison and quickly became charred.

"It's a lava dog!!"

"Not good!"

"Ding Ding!"

Several archers of the Kones Mercenary Group reacted very quickly and shot several arrows at the lava dog.

But the sharp arrows, shot on the burning skin of the lava dog, were like encountering some kind of natural rubber, and were quickly bounced away, leaving no trace.

The archer's attack attracted the attention of the lava dog!

It immediately gave up the headless horseman's body, and with a flash of red light and rolling heat waves, the lava dog quickly rushed towards an archer standing on the carriage and shooting.

"(Akkadian) Ice spike!"

The archer happened to be not far from the white-robed witch Melita, and Melita's reaction was also very fast. She was seen chanting a spell quickly and quickly raised a white finger.

Suddenly, a nearly 1.5-meter-long, crystal-clear, sharp ice spike suddenly appeared on the tip of her index finger.

With a heavy swing, the sharp ice spike shot towards the lava dog at a high speed.

Although the leather-armored archer tried his best to block it, he was knocked down at the first sight.

"Bang!!"

Just when the leather-armored archer was about to be bitten off, suddenly, the lava dog was blown sideways. For a moment, white cold air spread out, and white frost condensed on the injured archer's skin and eyebrows.

And a fist-sized hole appeared on the waist and abdomen of the lava dog, and dark red blood was flowing.

"What, he didn't die? My ice spikes have a power of at least 35 degrees. How could he not kill him?" Melita's pretty face turned pale and she exclaimed.

"I know, it's the environment here!"

"This place is too close to the underground magma. Under the influence of the magma, the surrounding fire element energy particles increase, and other energy particles decrease. Although the magnitude is not large, it makes the power of my ice magic drop by about 15% to 20%!"

Melita soon figured out the reason.

Obviously, Melita's attack deeply hurt the lava dog.

The injury made the lava dog even more angry. The ugly dog ​​head quickly turned to Melita, who caused it trauma, bared its teeth and growled.

"Wind Vortex!"

Fortunately, the other two male wizards did not stand idly by, but quickly took action, so that the lava dog that had just jumped out was actually sent back to the original place by the strong whirlwind.

"Slowdown!"

With the cooperation of the three, after casting multiple spells in succession and hitting the target, they finally killed a lava dog with a very tenacious vitality.

However, there was no trace of relief on the faces of the three.

Because the strength of the lava dog was more difficult than they expected.

The lava dog specializing in fire has a defense of at least 30 degrees. The general first-level spell cannot cause fatal damage to it. Instead, it will make the opponent injured and become more violent.

In addition, only one was killed in front of them. The problem is that lava dogs are also social creatures.

"I have always heard that lava dogs are very powerful, and now I have finally seen it." One of the male wizards said in a deep voice.

"It's still time for us to return immediately."

"It's impossible to return now, unless the entire caravan is abandoned." Melita's face was solemn.

The two male wizards looked at each other and retreated a few steps without leaving a trace. Obviously, from their point of view, it is absolutely impossible to work hard for the caravan.

Their relationship with the caravan was just a temporary cooperative relationship, passing through the Hammerfall Tunnel together.

It was not that they did not keep their promise, but the situation they were facing now was far beyond their expectations, and the reward given by the caravan could not make them take such a huge risk.

"Quick, Yannis, go ask the adults in front for help." Melita made a decision in an instant.

Now the only way to safely survive the crisis is to ask for help from the two adults in front.

As a member of the Winterhold Academy in the North, she has always had a good relationship with the Cameron family, which is also located in the North.

Therefore, she would not abandon the caravan and evacuate alone unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Okay, Master Melita."

The fat man Yannis ran towards Ryan like a meatball, and the white-robed female wizard Melita was also with him.

At this time, Ryan, who was hundreds of meters ahead of the Cameron caravan, had killed three lava dogs.

"This seems a little different from what the fat man said before. Could it be that the other party was fooling me before?"

Ryan couldn't help thinking in his heart.

He didn't mind giving others some convenience when he passed through the tunnel, letting them follow behind and pass through together.

But if the fat man was fooling him before and asked him to take the lead, then the nature was different.

"Ryan, the strength of this monster seems to be much stronger than the lava snake. Are we..." Anna looked at the calf-sized lava dog lying on the ground with a little worry, and turned to Ryan and said.

Although Ryan still killed one by one, Anna was still a little worried about Ryan's safety for this unexpected creature.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go ask the fat man. They should be behind." Ryan waved his hand and said.

However, at this time, Renn had not yet turned around and went back.

There were shouts from behind!

"My lord! My lord!" Giannis, a fat man with a big belly, ran quickly while waving to Renne and shouted.

Next to Giannis, there was another person this time, a beautiful sorceress wearing a white robe.

"Sir, a lava dog has appeared in the Hammerfell Tunnel. Let's exit together!" the fat man said breathlessly.

Hearing these words, Ren immediately understood that the other party should not have expected this situation.

However, when the two of them quickly approached and saw three giant calf-like lava dogs lying on the ground in front of them, Fatty Giannis and Melita stared at this scene blankly, not knowing what to do next. What to say.

Especially when I saw that these lava dogs died in the same way as those lava snakes. They were both killed by a sword thrust into their foreheads.

An idea came to both of them.

Perhaps, to them, this very dangerous lava dog, in the eyes of the adult in front of them, is as difficult as a knight killing a domestic dog.

The hippogryph was using its sharp claws and iron beak to tear open the tough skin of the lava dog, and then happily devoured the red crystal core the size of a baby's fist.

"My lord of the empire, your strength is admirable. I am Melita, a wizard from the College of Winterhold." Melita bowed her head slightly and saluted Ren.

When he was at the entrance of Hammerfell Fortress, Renn only glanced at the opponent from a distance, but now as the opponent approached, he couldn't help but take a second look.

I saw that the other party was wearing a slim-fitting white wizard robe with a slit at the collar. Although the top of the slit was fastened with a brooch, the other party's fair and tall figure could still be easily seen through the slit.

The waist is slender, and when it reaches the hips, it stretches out to both sides, showing an excellent figure.

Coupled with her beautiful appearance, this Melita witch can be called a beautiful witch.

In addition, judging from the aura, if the other party did not deliberately conceal it, he seemed to be a rare first-level ice wizard.

Moreover, the other party just mentioned the College of Winterhold?

Ren seemed to have heard from Olena about this wizarding school, which was located on the other side of the Windy Tundra.

Before leaving, Olena briefly told Ren about some of the big forces in the Windward Tundra. Among them was the College of Winterhold.

This is the advantage of being backed by a large organization. Although a lot of information may not be comprehensive, it is generally recorded.

"Hello, Wizard Melita, my name is Renn, and this is my companion Anna." Renn replied, but did not reveal his specific origin.

Melita quickly looked at Anna next to her with the corner of her eye. When she saw that the white wizard robe on the other person was spotless, she knew that Anna probably had not fought just now.

In other words, he should be well protected by the young but unpredictable Lord Ren in front of him.

At the same time, this also highlights the tyrannical strength of Lord Ren in front of him.

The other party was a man who killed all the more than a hundred lava snakes and the three lava dogs in front of him along the way.

However, the opponent's aura does not seem to have reached the level of a second-level liquefied wizard. It should be a first-level wizard with a relatively high degree of mental atomization.

Melita glanced at the knight's sword in Ren's hand again, and briefly recalled it. It seemed that when she was at the entrance of Hammerfell Fortress, she clearly saw that the other party was holding a cane. Why is he the knight captain now? sword?

But this is not important. What is important is that judging from the opponent's fighting style, it seems that he is also a knight, and his level is not low.

A first-level wizard and a senior knight?

It's rare.

"Sir Ren, it's like this. You may not know that although lava dogs, like lava snakes, go out in groups. But there is one difference. Lava dogs are usually organized and commanded by a lava dog leader."

"Lava Dog Leader?" Renn raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but arouse a little interest.

"Yes, the leader of the lava dogs is usually a two-headed lava dog."

"The strength of the two-headed lava dog is far superior to that of ordinary lava dogs. According to our wizard level classification, the strength of the two-headed lava dog has reached the level of a second-level liquefaction wizard."

"So, it is no longer suitable to continue moving forward in the Hammerfell Tunnel." Melita quickly clarified the reason why she should exit the tunnel immediately.

"Yes, Lord Ren, on behalf of the Cameron Caravan, I am willing to offer you a thousand imperial gold coins to hire you to return to Hammerfell Pass with us." Fatty Giannis gritted his teeth and offered the highest price he could bear. road.

After seeing Renne's fighting power, Fatty Giannis was very confident that if he could convince Lord Renne in front of him to return together and safely exit the Hammerfell Tunnel, there should be no problem.

Although in this case, the caravan may not arrive at its destination on time, and the losses due to breach of contract are not small, but it is much better than being wiped out.

"Oh, so that's it." Renn looked thoughtful.

The two-headed lava dog is equivalent to the second-level liquefaction wizard, is it quasi-legendary?

That's not bad.

He can solve it quickly without using his dragon form.

"Then why don't you keep moving forward? Your caravan must be in a hurry, right?" Renn couldn't help but look at the two of them in a strange way and said.

Because he could see that the Cameron caravan seemed to be in a hurry to get on the road, for example, the agreed delivery time was approaching, so they needed to pass through the Hammerfall Tunnel that had not yet been cleared.

Otherwise, they could just take a detour, and there was no need to go through the tunnel.

"Huh?" Melita and Fatty Yannis blinked and stared at Ryan stupidly.

Wasn't what they just said clear enough?

Ahead, there is a high probability that a two-headed lava dog will appear.

Very powerful!

Comparable to a second-level liquefied wizard, understand?

"If it's just a two-headed lava dog, it shouldn't be a big problem, I can solve it." As if he understood something from the eyes of the two, Ryan explained more and said.

"This, this." Fatty Yannis wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his small eyes kept looking at the white-robed female wizard Melita beside him.

Because of the calm tone of Lord Ryan in front of him, he, an ordinary person, could not judge whether the other party was bragging or telling the truth.

"Lord Ryan. You." Melita also shouted in her heart, Lord Ryan, although I have to admit that you are very strong, are you too arrogant?

But such words can only be criticized in the heart, but not said in person.

"You two, just follow Ryan. If it is only the level of a second-level liquefied wizard, I believe Ryan can handle it." Anna glanced at the panicked convoy behind the fat man and couldn't help but whispered.

Anna's words made Melita slightly startled. She glanced at Anna's equally calm face, and instantly changed her previous decision and said:

"Yannis, let the caravan go faster, we follow Lord Ryan and continue to move forward!"

"What?!" Fatty Yannis was stunned.

Didn't we just agree to invite these two adults to return together?

Why did you change your mind now?

But continuing to move forward is obviously a good thing for the caravan, since Lady Melita recognizes the strength of this Lord Ryan

"Good! Good!" Yannis reacted quickly and waved to the back.

Suddenly, the caravan behind him whipped and sped up.

Because Melita could see that when Anna mentioned the second-level liquefied wizard, there was no fluctuation in her eyes or expression.

It seemed that in her mind, it was easy for Lord Ryan to deal with the second-level liquefied wizard.

This was also the reason that prompted her to decide to follow Ryan and continue to move forward.

After all, no one would take their own life to make such a joke.

The two male wizards in the rear team looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Didn’t they say that they were going to persuade the two in front to return together?

Why did they decide to move forward instead?

If the two-headed lava dogs attacked at that time, who would deal with it?

The two couldn’t help but step forward. When they saw the three lava dogs killed by Ryan from a distance, their pupils shrank and they were quite surprised.

But after thinking for a while, one of them seemed to be unable to suppress his worries, walked to Melita and said:

"Although this lord is very powerful, the two-headed lava dog is not like an ordinary lava dog, and it is not so easy to deal with. I decided to withdraw."

"Lord Ryan said that he is sure to deal with the two-headed lava dog." Melita persuaded.

"Sorry, I decided not to continue." There are some words that the male wizard did not say.

That is, although Ryan is quite powerful, from the breath, it is obvious that he is a first-level wizard like them. How can he guarantee that he can deal with the two-headed lava dog comparable to the second-level liquefied wizard?

"Me too." Another male wizard also echoed.

"Wait, you"

Before Melita could stop him again, the two male wizards turned around and left quickly.

Ryan naturally would not stop the other party. He couldn't deliberately show his strength to prove that he was capable of escorting them to the other end of the tunnel.

After all, everyone has the right to choose.

At this time, Anna had come to the middle of the caravan, squatting beside an archer from the Kones Mercenary Corps who was injured in his left arm, and said, "If you don't mind, can you let me see the injury?"

"Of course, sir." The archer nodded quickly with a flattered expression on his face.

Soon, a strong green light quickly emanated from Anna's palm, and as her palm was placed on the wound, the green light quickly covered the wound on the archer's left arm.

After a few seconds, the green light gradually disappeared, but the archer's injury was completely healed.

Huh? What is this?

Melita, the white-robed witch, stared at this scene in a daze. She obviously recognized that Anna was performing natural witchcraft.

But there are very few humans who have a natural affinity, even rarer than ice.

Moreover, she had seen the description of Anna's witchcraft in ancient books, which seemed to be the druid's "healing touch"? .

In other words, the human girl in front of her learned the druid's witchcraft.

But how is this possible?

Unless

this girl is not a human at all, but an elf!

At this time, the two male wizards who were leaving the team happened to pass by Anna. Seeing this scene, both of them were slightly stunned.

Because almost the same idea as Melita appeared in their minds instantly.

After they figured it out, their expressions were different.

One of them showed a trace of greed in his eyes, but he looked at Ryan and concealed it well.

The other person shook his head, as if he felt sorry, probably because he thought Anna would die if she stayed here.

Not long after the two left, the entire caravan quickly adjusted itself and was about to set off when everyone heard frequent beast roars and noises coming from behind the team.

"Boom!"

Several groups of fire flashed behind them, and two black-robed figures hurriedly ran towards the caravan. One of them had a burning flame shield on his body, and the other's legs were surrounded by light blue airflow, which was obviously the effect of the Swift Wind.

Suddenly, several fireballs the size of a human head attacked from behind the two, which made the two of them hurriedly dodge.

But the male wizard who was protected by a flame shield seemed to be in a hurry to dodge and was hit by a fireball. Although his innate witchcraft resisted it, he staggered and almost fell.

Just as he adjusted his body shape, another huge fireball attacked from behind, which was two circles larger than the previous fireballs.

"Ah!!"

The male wizard suddenly turned into a fire man, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground, no longer moving.

The other man rushed back with a horrified look on his face, shouting in panic: "Two-headed lava dog, right behind us!"

What? !

Sure enough, a huge two-headed lava dog with a shoulder height of more than three meters, leading four or five ordinary lava dogs, came out from the darkness behind, which immediately panicked the entire caravan.

The guards of the caravan just now, including the well-equipped Cones Mercenary Group, also changed their colors.

After all, the strength of the lava dog has exceeded the upper limit of their ability to fight.

Now let's not talk about the obviously much stronger two-headed lava dog, but the four ordinary lava dogs, I'm afraid the entire caravan will find it difficult to resist at this moment.

Hearing the commotion from the rear of the caravan, Ryan immediately rushed to the rear of the team. It seemed that the two-headed lava dog had sensed the dangerous aura that Ryan was emitting. It stared at Ryan and did not immediately attack.

"Left, there is another one on the left!" Someone in the caravan exclaimed.

On the left side of the caravan, another huge two-headed lava dog came out with three or four ordinary lava dogs, looking at the caravan as if looking at food.

"I told you to retreat quickly, but now you are surrounded." The male wizard who survived by chance seemed very excited and cursed Melita.

"Fuck! You are dead now!"

Two two-headed lava dogs, one male and one female, appeared!

How can this be done?

"Two? I actually encountered this situation?!"

Melita's face turned pale instantly!

At the same time, she immediately made a decision in her heart.

It seems that only that thing can be used

"Lord Ryan, I will hold off the left side for a while, please deal with the other one as soon as possible!"

Melita looked distressed, and quickly took out a finger-sized transparent ice crystal from her arms, and then chanted quickly.

"(Akkadian) Great Ice Spirit, please listen to my call"

A large group of pure white air vortex appeared in front of her, and soon, a monster condensed by a blizzard more than three meters high appeared in front of everyone.

Its upper body is humanoid, and its lower body is a high-speed rotating cold air vortex. There are no eyes and nose on the face, only a hollow round mouth, making a sharp cold wind roar.

"Blizzard element!"

Melita believes that even if Ryan is strong, he can't be the opponent of two two-headed lava dogs.

The current situation can only delay as long as possible, so that Lord Ryan can kill a two-headed lava dog first.

But there were so many ordinary lava dogs at the scene.

Even if she used her killer move to summon the blizzard element, Melita didn't have much confidence to resist it at this moment.

But the next second, a miserable roar of a beast came, Melita looked up, and the next second, the whole person froze in place.

"This, this."

She saw that the two-headed lava dog had fallen in a pool of blood dozens of meters in front of her, with its forehead still pierced, and dark red blood was gushing out of both heads.

The death was exactly the same as the previous lava dog!

And the other ordinary lava dogs seemed to be frightened by something, staring blankly at the figure that killed their leader, motionless!

Melita rubbed her eyes and looked again. Yes, the two-headed lava dog was indeed dead!

For a moment, Melita felt that the whole scene was a little unreal.

Could it be that she was in the illusion of some creature?

Melita pinched her palm hard, and the stinging pain made her wake up.

This unbelievable scene in front of her was actually real.
