Chapter 11 Finding a Way Through the Fores (1/2)

Since Matt was a traveling merchant, he had unquestionably seen a wolf before, but he could swear to the Five Creator Dragons that he had never seen such a humongous wolf.

It was almost as tall as a man, and its thick fur gleamed with a silver light. Right now, it was sleeping while enjoying the warm afternoon sun. Its tail was swinging back and forth, appearing extremely carefree. Lize had already contained her breathing, following Rhode quietly from behind. As a mercenary, she knew just how frightening and dangerous those beasts were. She was not as nervous as the fat merchant who did not even dare to breathe, but she still looked at Rhode, waiting for his order.

The Silver Wolf, Moon Soul, was a level 10 Elite Beast. Even though it was not classified as a BOSS, it was still very troublesome.

In Dragon Soul Continent Online, monsters were classified into 3 types: Wild Beast, Giant Beast, and Demonic Beast. A Wild Beast was just an ordinary beast monster while Giant Beasts were the Wild Beasts who had lived for a long period of time or had been stimulated by external factors and evolved. They were dangerous and ferocious. Once they had awakened their soul, they would turn into a Demonic Beast. At that time, it would be more difficult to fight them since they would not fight just by using their own body anymore.

Although the Silver Wolf's level was below the Wind Serpent Lord and killing it wasn't that hard, but…

Rhode subconsciously glanced at the two following him.

If it was still game, he would not mind killing it to gain more EXP and materials. However, this wasn't a game, and there were only the three of them. Lize was a cleric, so she didn't have the power to protect herself and Matt... was even more vulnerable. Since this was the case, it was better to do nothing.

Rhode made a gesture and pointed towards another direction. Since Moonlight Lake was big, there was no need for him to expend unnecessary energy. Looking at his gesture, Lize and Matt looked at each other and followed him with the intention to leave. It was a pity that lady luck wasn't on their side.

Kacha! When the fat merchant turned around, he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, crushing a branch under his body.

At this point, Rhode immediately rushed back and lifted his right hand. Soon, a bird's whistle resounded in the air and a green figure appeared from his hand, rushing to the other two.

Boom!! Accompanied by the sound of the impact, a low howl came from behind. Lize and Matt turned around and were surprised to find that the giant Silver Wolf that was previously far from them had already approached them from behind. But suddenly, its huge body was flung to the ground as if it had been hit by an external force.

After that, a shadow flashed past.

When Matt fell, Rhode already had a bad feeling. After all, in the Silver Moon forest, the Silver Wolf's perception was third highest among the monsters. Luckily, he had encountered this kind of troublesome situation before because of stupid NPCs.

Although Rhode's perception was not as high as being able to lock the Giant Wolf's movements, but based on his familiarity towards the Silver Wolf, he could immediately make a judgment. He knew that the resting Silver Wolf was unlikely to attack them immediately but was already aware of their presence. Based on its characteristics, it would most likely wait until dark to attack them.

Meanwhile, Rhode judged that it was probably better to take the initiative to attack first based on his experience.

He was right.

The Moon Soul did not expect that the other side would be so fast to attack. Facing the Spirit Bird's attack, it managed to react, but it was still too slow. The Spirit Bird's attack landed on its body, smashing it flying a distance away.

The Giant Wolf laid on the ground, but before it could recover from the impact, Rhode had already arrived beside it in a flash. He then stretched out his right hand.

”Cage!” (Elf Language: Transform)

The Spirit Bird flew back to his hand, transformed into a card, and the color instantly turned from green to white. Rhode did not need to look at it; he flipped his hand while holding the card with force, and thrust forward at the Moon Soul.

At this moment, the white card pierced the Moon Soul's right leg, nailing it to the ground. Then, a pure white sword appeared in Rhode's hand.
