Chapter 615: Chapter 284: Wave after Wave_1

The Absolution hunting team encountered Diao’er, the purple mink, as they passed along a shallow stream that circumvented a small hill.

They had already left the campsite at that time, intending to meet up with Blue Bird.

When the creature lunged at Zheng Qing from the yellow reeds, the young wizard was on the verge of smashing his fist into its face — given that this was in the hunting ground, and a dusky, strange figure suddenly lunged at him, any extreme reaction was appropriate.

Luckily, the creature’s urgent shrieks saved its own life.

Hearing a somewhat familiar cry, Zheng Qing held back his punch in time but also sidestepped to avoid Diao’er’s attack.

"Blue Bird’s Diao’er?" Xiao Xiao stared at Diao’er, who missed her attack and fell on the ground. As he adjusted his glasses, his eyebrows raised in slight surprise, "What happened to it?"

"There are words on its back!" The sharp-eyed Zhang Ji Xin, spotting the scribbles on the mink’s back, immediately pointed and yelled out.

Fur and mud are not good mediums for written communications.

Moreover, Diao’er had been running wildly in the bushes, creating many scratches on the thin layer of mud, which further blurred the already sketchy writings.

"...strength 10+...100+...beware of the Wolf King."

Zheng Qing patiently deciphered the writing on Diao’er’s back, furrowed his brow, and quickly analyzed the information contained in these incomplete sentences.

Since Blue Bird went to scout the wolf group, there was no doubt that this message was likely to describe the wolf pack that they had not met. This made the situation even more puzzling.

Strength 10+ indicates near registered wizard combat power. If a Wild Demon King in a demon group has this level of demonic power, the hunting team’s diviner would certainly detect it.

Moreover, what does the ’100+’ behind mean? Wild Demon strength? It would be absurd, since a Wild Demon with strength above 10 already has the abilities of a registered wizard. Following this, what would a strength of 100+ represent! It presumably would be too powerful for this small world to bear.

But if 100+ refers to the quantity, it could make sense — however, this information profoundly contradicts Xiao Xiao’s divination of ’a dozen’.

As for the last sentence, "beware of the Wolf King", Zheng Qing has no objections.

After all, the most dangerous entity in a Wolf Demon group should undoubtedly be the Wolf King.

Diao’er obediently lay motionless in Zheng Qing’s palm, but it fiercely twisted its head backward, emitting anxious and perturbed cries. Its trailing tail swung back and forth like a windmill, causing dizziness to the onlookers.

"I feel like it’s trying to hurry you." Zhang Ji Xin looked at the anxious Diao’er, sounding slightly uncertain.

After all, under any circumstance, the return of a scout’s pet, creature disheveled and carrying a message on its body, while the scout is missing is very abnormal.

Very abnormal.

Zheng Qing tilted his head and glanced at his chief hunter — he knew what Zhang Ji Xin meant, but what could be realized by Elder Zhang Da, a man mostly consisting of muscles, couldn’t be left unnoticed by Zheng Qing himself, right?

Blue Bird was undoubtedly in danger; otherwise, he wouldn’t refrain from using the contact symbol and instead use Diao’er as a messenger.

The only remaining question was: what should the Absolution hunting team do?

"We must prepare for the worst." Xiao Xiao softly spoke from the side.

Zheng Qing slightly nodded, having made up his mind.

However, before he could speak, the Diao’er in his hand suddenly tensed, letting out a sharp, warning-like howl.

An enormous grey wolf suddenly leapt out from the bushes with its bloody jaws wide open, aiming straight towards the head of Zhang Ji Xin, who was standing at the outermost of the hunting team.

Even without seeing its crazy blood-shedding eyes, just by the anxious and sharp warning from the Diao’er in his palm, Zheng Qing reacted in the blink of an eye.

"Binding Spell!"

He quickly unfolded the Law book, a spell swiftly flew out, summoned a strong vine in the nick of time, pulling the leaping wolf demon from mid-air.

It was not until then that Zhang Ji Xin, who had been turning his back to the grassland, reacted. He immediately turned around to look at the wolf demon who was madly struggling on the ground. A few drops of cold sweat involuntarily slid down from the side of his forehead.

"Is this one of the members of the wolf demon group?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

No one answered his question.

What answered him was another figure that rose suddenly from the grass.

"Mighty Rabbit Net!"

"Ax to Bind!"

Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao’s spells echoed simultaneously, hitting the second gray wolf monster that sprang up.

The dense net spread across the sky, and ferociously covered the wolf. At the same time, countless small and sharp axes appeared out of thin air, smashing down like hailstones on the wolf monster that was caught in the net.

"Bang! Bang!"

The fishy wolf blood splattered in mid-air. The second prey was clearly not as lucky as the first one. By the time it fell to the ground, it had already been hacked into pieces by the axes.

Zhang Ji Xin took a deep breath. The faint smell of blood mixed in with the wet scent emitted by the grass, forming a strange odor that makes one want to vomit.

He gritted his teeth, tightened his fist, narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed the grassland which was full of hidden dangers.

The breeze swept over the dense grass, leaving a rustling sound, and caused waves in the grass. Without the proper experience, even an experienced registered wizard would find it hard to detect the anomalies in this peaceful scene.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

Two sounds echoed from the front.

Zhang Ji Xin looked over and saw a giant black wolf, twice as big as the previous gray wolf monsters, being grabbed around the waist by a giant blue palm and held in mid-air.

"It was trying to sneak away!" Said the blue giant, whose figure was dimly visible in the air before the hill, implying that the wolf’s luck was rather unfortunate.

"Are there any more?" Zheng Qing asked nonsensically.

"According to what you said, I circled this small mountain and only found these few mice." The blue giant answered honestly.

"Hmm, very good." Zheng Qing nodded and commanded, "Pinch off its waist and throw it over... You stand here, don’t move around too much, the phantom body symbol I improved has only one copy. If you reduce your activities, it should be able to last for some time."

"Great!" The blue giant happily pinched off the giant black wolf’s body and threw it towards his teammates, at the same time he said expectedly, "In the past, after the transformation, I always felt inconvenient in my movements... with constant surveillance ... If you draw more of these improved symbols in the future, it seems quite useful."

"Why are you still so chatterbox after you transformed into a blue giant!" Zhang Ji Xin grumbled, stomping on the black wolf’s head, and said, "I remember that while training, Blue Giant was quiet."

"That’s because the school’s training field is too small and it makes me feel suppressed." The blue giant Xin grumbled back, he adjusted his position on the hilltop, which was somewhat pointed previously to a smooth one, "Just like here, the environment is much more vast... I think I can release some of my own one."

The giant black wolf’s eyes were glued to the young wizards, its belly bulged, and a long howl came from the corner of its mouth.

"Woo..."

"Damn it!" Zhang Ji Xin’s face changed, he slid his foot from the wolf’s head to its neck, then stepped on it forcefully, instantly crushing the wolf demon’s throat.

But it was too late.

The howl of the wolf demon had already triggered some mysterious connection among the group, and for a time, long howls of wolves resounded from behind the hill.

One after another.
