Nailisi ripped off a drumstick from the chicken and passed it to Saleen. The hot oil dripped down as the aroma wafted in the chilly weather. The magic wolves did not dare approach, and Nailisi threw over a few pieces of jerky before they started fighting over them.
Saleen took the chicken drumstick and had opened his mouth to bite down when suddenly, a piercing noise sounded and a weapon flew over, right for Saleen's hand.
Once he and Nailisi had set up the bonfire, they had neglected their surroundings and Saleen had not used his focus to scan around. In this snowy weather with magic wolves patrolling around, how could Saleen have considered that people would try to ambush them?
However, he was no longer the low-grade mage that he had once been. As the weapon flew over and the air around them exploded with a piercing noise, Saleen calmly released an ice arrow with a finger and it smashed headfirst into the oncoming weapon.
