The next day, after meeting up with Kelly and the other five at the entrance of the village, we set out on our journey again.
The five of them had no means of transportation, and they could not buy carriages or horses in the Wasteland City, so I arranged for the ladies to sit in the carriage, and let the magician Versa drive the carriage, while I ran behind with two swordsmen.
The elf Qin Si also insisted on running with us, so that there was only one more Kelly in the carriage, which was not too crowded.
As long as we arrived at the next city, we could naturally buy horses.
Along the way, Qin Si ran very easily with the innate advantages of the elves.
With the help of natural magic, she could grab a vine from time to time and move forward like a swing.
Brother Nick had a much harder time. Although they had fighting spirit to support them, at their current level, fighting spirit would be easily exhausted, so most of the time, they could only run with their bodies.
Of course, I was the easiest one. In their eyes, I have always been so relaxed, just like strolling in the garden, walking slowly step by step, walking elegantly, but without any anger.
I should have walked very slowly, but I followed the carriage closely, not lagging behind at all. This contradictory feeling of fast and slow is really sad to vomit blood when I think about it.
Dozens of miles around the wasteland city are all wastelands, where monsters and thieves are most likely to appear. This is why Kelly and others felt strange when they saw a family like us appearing here.
I have never encountered thieves, which should be said to be quite lucky. Of course, the lucky ones are those thieves, not me.
And the reason why we did not encounter monster attacks is because Xiaoyu's holy beast aura is enough to make any monster below the high level dare not approach us.
As for my own dragon aura, it is absolutely unfeeling except by using the secret method of the dragon clan.
This time, since I knew that they came here to practice, I deliberately asked Xiaoyu to restrain his aura.
Maybe, if there were more attacks from monsters on the road, it would be more fun, right? I thought mischievously. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any monsters or thieves the whole morning, which made me secretly disappointed.
From the beginning, I noticed that someone was secretly following us, but since that person didn't show any hostility, I ignored him.
At noon, the five of them were full of praise for the food made by Philiya. Even the elf Qinsi, who always only eats fruits and vegetables, was deeply attracted by the vegetables made by Philiya and ate them non-stop.
However, I felt very distressed. It was too hard for Philiya to prepare food for so many people alone. Unfortunately, she insisted on not letting me help, so I could only watch from the side.
In the afternoon, my expectations finally became a reality. A group of magic wolves surrounded us. Although the magic wolves are only level 4 magic beasts, each group of magic wolves will be led by a wolf king, and the wolf king is a level 6 magic beast.
The danger of the magic wolves lies not in their individual strength, but in their continuous efforts, and they will never give up until they achieve their goal.
This group of magic wolves is not large, only about thirty, but with Nick and his strength, it would be very dangerous if they were not careful.
Ignoring the attacks of the magic wolves, I jumped on the carriage, told Filia and Alice not to get off, and sat down on the roof.
Although they were surprised that I didn't help, the five of them quickly formed a formation against the horses, with two swordsmen standing in front, protecting the magician and archer behind them.
The swordsman brothers resisted the attacks of the magic wolves, while the magician Versa and the elf Qinsi were responsible for killing the magic wolves, and the priest Kelly kept adding auxiliary magic to Nick and Rank, and occasionally added healing magic to them.
With their close cooperation, the magic wolves' several attacks were unsuccessful, and several magic wolves died under the precise bows and arrows of the elf archer Qinsi.
A fierce long howl suddenly sounded, and the magic wolves retreated to both sides, making way for the wolf king, who was taller than the other magic wolves. The ordinary magic wolves were already as tall as a man, but this wolf king was much taller than the ordinary magic wolves. His long silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, and he looked mighty and arrogant.
Under its cold gaze, Nick and his companions could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
The encirclement of the magic wolves began to loosen, but it was more conducive to alternating attacks. Suddenly, several magic wolves ejected fireballs from their mouths to attack everyone. Although everyone was prepared, Nick and Rank were not strong enough to block the fireballs, and could only avoid them in a panic. Virsa opened the wind barrier in time to protect Kelly and Qinsi inside.
In the panic, several magic wolves attacked the two swordsmen. Nick and Rank quickly reacted and tried to get closer to Virsa and his companions. Under such circumstances, if the few people were forced to separate, then they would naturally die.
Although they reacted quickly, in the panic, Rank was still injured by a demon wolf, and a long cut was scratched on his waist.
The smell of blood further stimulated the ferocity of the demon wolves. Several demon wolves rushed up impatiently, but were shot back by Qin Si with several arrows.
Under Qin Si's calm handling, the confrontation between the few people and the demon wolves resumed again. Kelly quickly cast a healing magic on Rank to recover his injuries as soon as possible.
Seeing Qin Si's performance, I nodded in approval. It was because of her calmness just now that the danger just now was resolved. Obviously, she was the core of the five-person team.
However, I still shook my head secretly at their strength. Now the Demon Wolf King has not made a move, and they are almost in danger. If this sixth-level wolf king is added, with their strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.
And looking at the wolf king's arrogant look, I'm afraid he also disdains to fight with them.
Sure enough, in the following time, although the wolf king did not participate in the attack, just its constant movement on the periphery attracted a lot of attention from several people. Under the command of the wolf king, the magic wolves constantly changed their attack methods, making it extremely difficult for several people to deal with.
In just a few rounds, although they killed several magic wolves, except for the priest Kelly, the others were injured one after another. Even the elf Qinsi was caught several times when she helped Kelly resist the attack of the magic wolf.
The thrilling scene made Filia and Alice, who were hiding in the carriage, scream again and again, and Filia kept complaining about my inaction.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that they will fall under the attack of the magic wolf even without the wolf king's action, after all, the wolf king has put too much pressure on them.
My attention was focused on the person following us. Whenever Nick and his friends were in danger, that person would show a strong aura, which made it easy for me to judge his identity. I thought he was here to protect them secretly. However, judging from his appearance, he obviously did not intend to expose himself to Nick and his friends, so I will help you solve it reluctantly!
"Ao...Woo..." The shrill long howl sounded again, and the wolf king was finally tired of such attacks.
The remaining magic wolves were also greatly inspired, and each opened their bloody mouths to respond to the wolf king's howl. Obviously, the wolf king finally decided to take action. However, before it attacked Nick and his friends, I had already appeared in front of it.
"Your meat is too rough. I am not interested in prey like you. Unfortunately, why do you come to die?" A swift palm slapped the wolf king's head.
With the strength of the wolf king, a mere sixth-level magic beast, even if I only use the true qi of the swordsman level, it will definitely not be able to resist.
Its speed may be extremely fast for Nick and the others, but in front of me, it is nothing, and it can't dodge my attack at all.
So, under one palm, it can only fall softly.
When the wolf king died, all the magic wolves raised their heads and howled sadly, and the shrill howls were filled with unstoppable grief and anger.
After the howls, all the magic wolves abandoned the few people in the encirclement and started to rush towards me.
I naturally didn't care about the attacks of the magic wolves, but I was also shocked by their firm momentum. I said faintly: "Rest in peace!"
The attack started instantly.
In the eyes of the bystanders, I became blurred, and soon, I became clear again, but there were dozens of me in the field.
Every time I fought a demon wolf alone, it looked like I just punched it out with a simple punch, and it looked like the punch was thrown slowly, but none of the demon wolves avoided it, and all reacted in the same way, falling down softly.
After beating the demon wolf, I picked up the wolf king's body casually, and completely ignored the surprised eyes of Nick and the other five people, and said to Filia: "This wolf king's skin looks very beautiful. It should be useful to take it off. It can make a beautiful coat for Alice."
Alice looked at the wolf king's body and shook her head.
I reacted and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother should have packed it up before showing it to you. Brother will pay attention next time! Look, its fur is so beautiful, it looks so beautiful on Alice!" Alice still shook her head and refused.
Nick, who was a rough man, was the first to wake up. He was surprised and said, "You actually used the skin of a level 6 monster to make clothes for Alice. Don't you know how wasteful it is?"
Feiliya rolled her eyes at me and said, "If you show Alice like this, she will definitely want it!"
She knew that I didn't care about a wolf king's skin at all, so she was not surprised at all that I planned to use it to make a coat for Alice. She just blamed me for scaring Alice with the wolf king's corpse.
Nick and the others slowly came back to their senses. They looked at me with respect. The strong are respected on the continent, so it's not surprising that they have such a change.
The elf Qinsi looked relatively calm, but her eyes kept turning to me, and she was obviously full of surprise at me.
Kelly looked at me with admiration and said, "Brother Edmund, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Those demon wolves didn't even have a chance to react when they met you."
I smiled and said, "It's nothing strange! I'm just lucky and have a good master. As long as you can practice hard, you can be like me."
Nick said excitedly, "Brother Edmund, you are really strong. That wolf king is a level 6 demon beast! I didn't expect you to be able to solve it so easily. You must teach me in the future!"
I said lightly, "Let's help each other! In fact, I'm just a little faster. If we only look at fighting spirit, I'm not much stronger than you. You should be at the peak of a high-level swordsman. As long as you break through, you will be the same as me."
