Waves of roars were heard one after another.
A figure was seen flying in the forest from a distance, followed by several black figures. Orc's burning roars were also approaching. Soran carried Vivian on his back and prepared to retreat immediately while Gloria quickly casted a spell. But it seemed monsters from all sides had found them. Several agile figures were seen jumping down from the branches and intended to stop them, one of whom was a large black leopard.
That was a mutated beast.
Some special beasts carried mutated genes, which might be related with taboo experiments during Mystery Empire. They once appeared in huge numbers, but many were hunted later and the rest of them escaped beyond Star Realm and exterior layer. Some beasts in the material layer inherited these mutated genes and it might cause gene mutation at a certain level of biological grade. These beasts had spell abilities, but only a few. Most of them were only more intelligent and capable of hunting powerfully.
These beasts were said to be the failures of orc-like human's experiments.
Soran stopped and gave Vivian to Gloria. The black leopard was really difficult to handle, who was almost the same size as Siberian tiger. Distinct muscle outline could be seen on its elegant body, which could be compared to the champion of fitness. This represented its strength, which may even be greater than the brown bear and the power of the claw could even tear armor. The rushing speed of leopard was incredible, so Soran didn't dare to run away as it was no less than exposing his own back to the leopard.
No other creatures could defeat this mutated leopard in short-distance rush.
In wild forests, leopards were more dangerous than fierce tigers because you couldn't run faster than them on the land. If you ever attempted to race with them, they would instantly kick off you and tore apart your neck recklessly. Soran took a deep breath when rushing and he tried his best to hold up his muscles to jump ten meters away. He then waved his machete and tried to kill the black leopard as the beast didn't have any defense and only its skin couldn't protect it from his attack.
However, the leopard swiftly jumped away from his attack and smiled sarcastically as if it was a human. The beast had more wisdom than imagined, whose biological grade might be over grade 3.
But it was still not that careful.
Although Sotan didn't managed to cut it, he shot two Arcane Missiles from his fingertips in a second. It was such a short distance that the leopard didn't have time to escape. Instantly, with two Arcane Missiles shooting its skin, there were two holes on the leopard's neck, left with a three-centimeter wound bleeding.
With Soran's spell power, his short-distance Arcane Missiles could have at least 20 points of losses.
One point spell power could strengthen one point might of Arcane Missiles. High-grade wizards' Arcane Missiles were not ordinary. Soran had ten more points of spell power. Even if he didn't use his inborn constitution of resilience exemption, he could still slightly hurt the target. The leopard, suddenly attacked, was a little bit slow in response. So Soran immediately cut it on his back, leaving with a bloody five-centimeter wound. But he couldn't do anything below its muscle layer, so he had to retreat.
His inborn constitution of resilience exemption could exempt him from part of losses.
Around two points of constitution could add one point of loss exemption. Some powerful creatures could even hold weapons with their muscle layers, in which dragons were the most excellent.
Without rare weapons to handle dragons, even if you managed to cut their skin, you could not cut into their strong muscles, which meant their organs couldn't be attacked. Only by letting them bleed to kill dragons was extremely difficult.
Stout claws crossed cold light and tough leopard tail sizzled like a whip roaring. Soran swiftly escaped, but his arm was still hurt with three scratches and his waist was also attacked by leopard's tail, but he could withstand it. Other monsters were approaching. Soran didn't dare to waste time and he immediately took out a wooden wand, pointing at the black leopard in front of him.
A bunch of spell light appeared.
The weeds on the ground suddenly grew madly, like tough vines entangling the black leopard. Even if it had the power of the big cats, it couldn't take it off immediately. With one or two seconds, Soran had enough time to jump on the back of the black leopard and press it down; then he held his machete to cut the leopard. The power of sword-heavy split burst out instantly and the black leopard's head was cut off by the machete.
The blood gushed three or five meters away. The black leopard's headless body stiffened before slamming down.
A row of data appeared.
"Sword-heavy split was used."
"Attack of cutting head was motivated, causing 125 points of losses to the target. The target was dead."
"Soul energies were extracted."
"You got 2450 points of slaughter EXP."
No wonder it was an over grade-3 leopard with a biological grade of around 12. If it wasn't attacked by a sudden spell, it was even more difficult to handle than earth element.
"Brother, be careful."
Vivian screamed behind Soran. Gloria immediately casted a spell and shot a bloody red light to the front.
——"Deadly point."
The vibration of the bowstring was heard. Without thinking more, Soran activated his element crystal and the khaki scratch on the ground soon spread across him. Just as Stone skin was accelerating to his body, a sharp arrow shot on his chest, making him step backward.
In the woods in front of them, a tall and strong half-blood orc held a bow and stared at Soran horribly.
But soon he was stunned because Soran didn't fall down. Although the arrow shot on his chest, it was stuck between his ribs. Stone skin offset 20 points of losses of the arrow which should have shot him down. Moreover, he had 20 points of resilience exemption. Therefore, the loss was less serious than imagined. Regardless of pains, he took out the arrow that damaged his armor. The powerful bow was delicately made.
The dark red light then shot the tall half-blood orc. He stiffed before falling down on the ground.
It was seven-ring spell, deadly point.
Deadly point casted by high-grade northern witch was powerful. It was difficult for professionals below level four to gain death exemption.
Those who failed to gain death exemption would instantly be killed.
After taking out the arrow, Soran didn't have time to care the wound. He suddenly held his machete to avoid attacks from the half-blood orc beside him. But it was a heavy fighting axe whose might pressed Soran down. A werewolf-like half-blood creature on his left quickly attacked him on his back with a short axe.
Clang!
The short axe was like cutting on a solid marble because Soran's back was just a little depressed and almost sound. The creature's might wasn't huge and it had not been trained to throw weapons, so the attacking strength of the short axe was less than 20 points, which didn't break Soran's Stone skin denfense power at all.
Northern witch attracted most of hunters' attention, at least half of whom came for Gloria and Vivian instead of Soran. Wizard was the most horrible. So they wouldn't give her the chance to cast spells. A ferocious monster roared and it became larger before it took a deep breath and rushed on the ground with an incredible speed.
It was violent half-blood beast.
Encountered with such a dangerous situation, Gloria was not scared. She pulled Vivian to her back before she took out her spell wand and a washbasin-size fire ball flew out. The target wasn't the enemies in front of her. Instead it broke out on the vacant land. A second ago, the rushing monster was not able to stop. Out of inertia, he happened to enter the center of the fire ball explosion.
Immediately, its flesh and blood were blurred; the bones on its chest were exposed and its fur was burning.
"Look, Vivian."
Gloria was imposing now and she was now totally different from the witch Soran remembered. She coldly said "Do you still remember the motion calculation I taught you? Motion location and spell forecast were important skills. Many enemies' speed was incredible, so it was not necessarily effective to aim at them."
With the wind blowing, two axes and a long knife flew to them. But Gloria didn't even care about them. She inserted the spell wand into the ground and quickly casted spells with her hands, saying "Spell defense force field was the foundation of spell casters. During battles, you have to make sure that you are always covered by energy defense field."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The weapons throwing out were like striking in the air, making a dull sound when entering energy defense field. Gloria didn't have any expressions and it seemed that she had not look at the enemies at all. Concentration was the most important basic skills of spell caster during battles. Spell casters shouldn't be distracted by enemies and concentration could let them be more sensitive to the surroundings.
——"Shadow black tentacle."
Six energy tentacles went out from the ground and broke out instantly. The rushing enemies were stiffed and soon they were suspended by tentacle rolls. Shadow black tentacle casted by high-grade witch was worlds apart from that of Soran's. Two enemies were immediately killed by her tentacle and those who dared to approach were all suspended in the air.
Slowly pulling out her spell wand, Gloria said "Vivian, you should always bear in mind that control is more important than attacks for wizards."
It was deadly silent in the battlefield.
Everyone, including Soran, saw the true powers of high-grade witch at this time.
This was the mien of high-grade spell master.
