10 Chapter 10 - Fighting (1/2)
After dealing with the Green Anorak, Cheng Yang said: ”The next enchanted beast will be dealt with by the three of you. Just know that the world isn't exactly like a game, for instance; the skills won't automatically lock onto a target. So every time you shoot off a Magic Missile or an arrow, you need to properly aim at the target, or else it would be a waste of mana. So, I hope that you will wait until the enchanted beast is close before you start shooting at them, it can also help the Warriors practice defending.”
Lee Wanshan deeply nodded and said: ”Little bro, don't worry! The times have changed, we all know what to do now.”
Afterwards, Lee Wanshan turned to the other two people and said: ”Du Cheng and I will be at the frontline, since our attacks are weaker than a magicians, we will be depending on you to be the damage dealer, Feng Jie.”
While speaking, a flash of white light once again appeared in the distance, a wolf-like animal appearing from seemingly nowhere. It did the same thing as the Green Anorak; it rushed quickly towards Cheng Yang's group.
”Prepare for battle!” Cheng Yang said loudly, then quietly slipped to the back to watch the battle.
The Gray Wolf was coming straight towards them, 50 meters … … 40 m … … 30 m … … 20 m … …
”Zoooom...” A white ball of light suddenly ejected out from the gate, and went straight towards the direction of the Gray Wolf. It flew right past the Gray Wolf's head, not a single hair on the beast had been touched.
”I...” the tense 20 year old Feng Jie was about to say something. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Magic Missile was a skill that he launched.
Cheng Yang had no expression during the entire event and said: ”No need to explain! Just keep fighting!”
Feng Jie closed his mouth; he seemed to understand that now wasn't the time to explain. The Gray Wolf had reached a distance of only 10 meters away from them now.
Lee Wanshan's face hardened, rushing directly forward with his shield. He butted against the Gray Wolf with the shield, forcing the wolf to recede a bit, but Lee Wanshan suffered the most from the overall impact of his charge. He wasn't even able to stand on his feet steadily.
After the Gray Wolf steadied itself, it once more lunged towards the gate. Du Cheng shouted loudly trying to suppress his fears, while rushing towards the gray wolf. It may be due to his fear, but he didn't use his shield to defend, instead he used his sword to slash toward the Gray Wolf's head.
”Ding...” Du Cheng's sword landed on the Gray Wolf's head. The sword wasn't even able to create a wound on the Gray Wolf's hard head, even the impact created was almost nothing. The wolf butted the shield of Du Cheng away, using its huge mouth to bite toward his shoulder.
”Ah … …” with the two side so close together, Du Cheng wasn't able to dodge, and was bitten on the shoulder.
After the Gray Wolf bit Du Cheng's shoulder it immediately let go and went toward his throat with it sharp teeth.
”Pop...” It wasn't the sound of Du Cheng being bitten, but Feng Jie's Magic Missile hitting the Gray Wolf, forcing it back.
Seizing the opportunity, Du Cheng retreated. He didn't dare rush up alone again. He immediately went to Lee Wanshan, and went side by side back toward the Gray Wolf. Although the bite was causing Du Cheng intense pain, he was face to face with what could be his death, he didn't care too much currently..
”Kill!” ”Two people each holding a shield blocked the Gray Wolf from lunging again, followed by two swords swinging from both sides. Lee Wanshan managed to hit the target, Du Cheng's sword missed. However, the wolf, faced with the two shields blocking it wasn't able to do anything back.
When Feng Jie saw the Gray Wolf had been successfully blocked, he began to calm down and sent another Magic Missile at the wolf.
The Magic Missile successfully hit the wolf's body.
Feng Jie didn't feel happy though. The wolf was only three meters away, if he hadn't been able to hit the Gray Wolf he would have died of shame.
After three shots, Feng Jie used his fourth Magic Missile, which finally killed the Gray Wolf. A few fuzzy points of light from the Gray Wolf's body flowed straight into Lee Wanshan's and the other two's bodies.
In this battle, Feng Jie contributed to more than half of the damage, but if there hadn't been Lee Wanshan and Du Cheng on the frontline, I'm afraid he couldn't have even used a single Magic Missile to hit the Gray Wolf.
Their fight lasted for about 30 seconds, which was four or five times longer than it when Cheng Yang killed the Green Anorak. Also, it was three people taking care of one enchanted beast, while Cheng Yang was able to kill one alone.
”The next enchanted beast I'll deal with. You can all sit down and rest, that can speed up the health recovery rate.” Cheng Yang quietly said. He didn't explain why to them, but he knew that when they sat down to rest, they would understand his reasons.
