Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages Chapter 188

188 Killing the Hound

He bent down and bowed. He took out a crystal bottle from his pocket and placed it in his dry and thin palm. “Please believe that we are very sincere.”

Aoba took the crystal bottle, and the black-robed man slowly retreated and disappeared around the corner.

It was an empty crystal bottle. When he opened the lid, he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. It had once been used to hold potions.

Aoba took a closer sniff and found it familiar.

Concealment Potion.

The snowy mountain was really huge.

They walked for a long time.

Looking ahead, there was an endless downhill path. Looking back, the tall mountain was still behind him.

Fang Ping walked in the group.

The sky gradually darkened. The layers of snow around him became thinner and thinner, and the weeds grew taller and taller. They could block half a person. There were too many blind spots in his vision, so Fang Ping was unwilling to take the risk to investigate.

The team in front also moved slowly.

There were no roads here. The Lord's Guards had to open up a path in front. If they did not clear the weeds, the carriage could not pass at all.

The sun of the Snow Moon set earlier and earlier. Before anyone realize, it dipped below the horizon and darkness descended.

With he Snow Frost Mountain blocking, there was no biting cold wind here. The temperature was slightly higher, but it was equally cold.

The fire that was raised by the weeds burned quickly and dissipated quickly. Therefore, they dug a pit, buried the grass, covered it with soil and slowly baked it inside.

Fang Ping was roasting pine nuts with hot soil, while Qing Niao was roasting wild vegetables in the vent. Bianca sat at the side and waited.

“This is my first time roasting wild vegetables in hot air. I don't know if it's delicious.”

“It's fine. Whether it's delicious or not, I'll pay.”

“Mm, Fang Ping, do you want to eat?”

“No need.” Fang Ping pulled out the pine nuts from the soil. They were still a little hot. He wrapped them in a piece of cloth and placed them in his backpack, closing it.

“Stop roasting and pack your things. They're here.”

“Ah?” Qing Niao was stunned. “What's wrong? Who's here?”

“Wild beast.”

There was no moon tonight. On the dark hillside were tall weeds. Feng Ling danced on the tips of the grass, creating ripples.

“Enemy attack!”

Shouts could be heard in the distance.

“Fang Ping's team will be on guard. Fang Ping will be in command.”

Teacher Elsa's voice sounded. It was Fang Ping's command again.

“Pack your things and put on your armor and weapons. The enemy is on the right side of the hill. Close combat in front, and long-range combat behind.”

Fang Ping had seen it in advance. The wild beasts were all on the right. They did not surround them or had the intention of attacking or feinting. They were fighting head-on.

Of course, it was not a direct confrontation. After all, for beasts, the night was their home ground and the darkness was their protection.

In the darkness, Humans had a very short field of vision.

However, Humans had never given up on the exploration of light. If without light, they would create light.

Flames had already lit up at the position of the Lord's Guards in front. Fang Ping followed suit and ordered, “Throw torches and kerosene.”

The dried weeds were lit up, and flames soared into the sky, moving into the distance like a wall of fire.

Just relying on this little fire to burn the wild beasts to death? That was basically impossible.

Pairs of bright eyes rushed out of the darkness, out of the fire wall, and towards the Humans.

A group of soldiers ran over quickly.

A row of carriages followed behind.

“Miss Elsa, tell your students to retreat. Don't let them die!”

Elsa immediately replied, “They're all Professionals!”

“They're all students. Leave this to our Machete City's guards. You guys assist in the attack.”

Elsa still shouted, “Assist the attack!”

Fang Ping immediately gave the order. “Everyone, retreat and assist in the attack!”

The team stood with their backs against the carriage. Some logisticians were moving the horses out. They were Professionals, but their positions were closer to engineers.

The Hounds with special characteristics were already right in front of them. Their bodies lit up with orange light and they were buffed with skills.

The Hound had a ferocious expression and revealed its sharp fangs, preparing to bite the human in front of it.

The guards of Machete City stood in three rows. There were two to three hundred people. The first row was filled with guards holding large shields and spiked hammers, and the two rows behind were all crossbowmen.

The person commanding at the back was Van Helsing, whom he had seen in the morning.

When the Hounds closed in, he shouted, “Attack!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After two rounds of arrows from the crossbowman, the Hounds in front of him fell to the ground.

Most of the Hounds turned into energy and dissipated. Some rolled forward and hit the guards' shields. They were really dead.

The Hounds behind stopped charging forward and immediately changed directions to run back.

Whoosh, whoosh…

Scattered crossbow bolts flew out and killed some Hounds.

The crossbow's firing speed was relatively slow. By the time it was loaded, the remaining Hounds had already run far away.

The Hunting Hound did not run away. Instead, he waited for the meat shield at the back to block the fire from the crossbow.

Tall, Heavy Armored Lizards passed through the fire wall and walked out. They moved slowly, but the thick heavy armor on their bodies was a nightmare for all archers.

The Gem Beast behind was also approaching. Its weapon was the Gem Beast of the huge pinecone, and its range was not as far as the crossbowmen.

However, the most terrifying thing about the Gem Beast was not the pine cone, but that they were all Mages.

Poison Mist, Ring of Ice, Weakness, as well as higher-level Lightning Strike, Cluster Lightning, Blizzard… The effects of Mages in large-scale battles were far stronger than in arena battles.

Under the cover of the Heavy Armored Lizards, they slowly approached.

“Team One, drink the Armor-piercing Command Potion!”

At Van Helsing's command, the crossbowmen took out crystal bottles one after another and drank them. Then, their bodies lit up with a faint red light.

Armor Penetration Command: A single-target buff skill that increases the strength of allies by 1. It also obtains the characteristic of Armor Penetration. The damage caused by attacks cannot be reduced. Duration: 20 seconds.

The Armor-piercing Command was a sharp weapon against the Heavy Armored Lizards. Thick armor was no different from paper in front of it.

The Lizards on the other side wanted to retreat, but they were too late. Arrows flew out one after another.

Heavy Armored Lizards were shot one after another and slowly fell to the ground. Their huge bodies formed a wall and stopped their advance.

The Gem Beast could not advance either. If they wanted to use their skills, they would definitely enter the range of the crossbowmen.

There was a brief silence on the battlefield. The fire had already spread far away, and the light slowly dimmed.

The two sides confronted each other just like that. The guards of Machete City had the advantage of range, so the wild beasts did not dare to act rashly.

There was a stalemate here. Not far away, the Lord's Guards were chased by a large group of Hounds and Unicorns. In the sky were Chimeras and various Bats.

They had no intention of coming over. Killing Humans was not their main goal. Their target was Ivan.

The Hound with chains kept chasing Ivan, while he is surrounded densely by the wild beasts.

They were not as strong as Ivan, so they relied on numbers. One by one, even if there were many ants, they could bite an elephant to death.

From time to time, Ivan would counterattack and kill several wild beasts, but the empty space was immediately filled.

Moreover, as time passed, the flames would disappear and they would fall into darkness. The disadvantage would only increase.

Fang Ping stood on the top of the carriage and watched, feeling anxious.

The reason why Fang Ping's team had not died was because someone was carrying the battle above their heads.
