Chapter 84: Rocky start (2)
As we went deeper into the dungeon, there were fewer weaker monsters that appeared.
The goblins that they had been killing before were only F Rank mobs that lived at the entrance of the dungeon.
But now that we had gotten deeper in the dungeon, there were less of these weak goblins around. That was because in the dungeon, the monsters followed the law of the jungle.
The weaker monsters were nothing more than prey for the stronger monsters.
If any of the goblins tried to come in deeper, they would be killed and eaten by the stronger monsters here.
Monsters didn't care about other monsters, they only cared about themselves.
That was why there were traces of blood that could be seen around us.
After heading in for a bit, we finally came up to a monster that we could fight.
This was a wolf that was standing out in the middle of the dungeon passage, almost as if it was standing in a daze.
The moment that the four kids saw this wolf, they all moved forward as if they wanted to fight it.
When they saw that the others had moved as well, all of them glared at each other.
Then without a word, all four of them attacked at the same time.
It seemed like the wolf wouldn't stand a chance under their powerful attacks, but before they could make contact, the wolf dodged out of the way. Even Claire, who had an agility based ability, couldn't make contact with the wolf.
It wasn't that she was slow, but rather the wolf had read her pattern and had dodged before she could reach it.
The wolf easily dodged out of the way of their attacks and then started nipping back at them.
It charged at Qin Yue Ru first since it recognized that she was the weakest in terms of physical strength.
When facing this many enemies at once, it was best to take down the weakest member first.
Qin Yue Ru saw this and she raised her staff to gather her light magic in the form of a shield in front of her to block the wolf. However, right before the wolf made contact with the shield, it twisted to the side.
With a burst of speed, the wolf went around the shield completely to arrive behind Qin Yue Ru and it opened its mouth to bite at her.
Qin Yue Ru tried to turn, but she knew that it was already too late. She wouldn't be able to make it in time to stop the wolf from biting her. The only thing that she could do was brace for it.
But before the wolf could reach her, there was a burning figure that appeared behind her. This burning figure was covered in flames as he stood there in between her and the wolf.
When the wolf saw this, it recognized that it could no longer hurt her, so it jumped back.
However, as it jumped back, it suddenly flicked its lower legs and kicked some sand at the flaming figure.
Blaze suddenly raised his hand up to block his eyes as he said, "You little…"
But the wolf didn't even care about him as it suddenly turned to look at Hayato.
Hayato gathered two wind blades that he threw at the wolf while shouting, "Die!"
The wolf wasn't bothered by this at all as it easily dodged these two wind blades.
However, that was what Hayato wanted since he had secretly prepared a third wind blade that he threw out at the wolf. The first two wind blades were now right beside the wolf and were trapping it.
The wolf didn't panic seeing this third wind blade coming at it.
Instead, it just jumped backwards and landed on an arrow.
As for where this arrow came from…it was an arrow that Claire, who was hiding in the shadows, had shot at the wolf when she found her opportunity.
The wolf kicked off the arrow and sent it right into the wind blade coming at it.
The arrow and the wind blade hit each other before being deviated by each other.
The wind blade was deviated so that it flew towards Claire in hiding. The arrow was deviated so that it was flying at Hayato.
Both of them shouted, "You!"
Both of them had no choice but to dodge out of the way, causing them both to fall to the ground.
After it landed, the wolf wasn't finished.
The wolf suddenly kicked out with its back legs and sent two large rocks flying out.
These two large rocks flew at Blaze and Qin Yue Ru who had been preparing to attack the wolf when it landed.
Both of them had to dodge out of the way and they both fell to the ground.
By the end of this engagement, all four of these kids had fallen to the ground and only the wolf was still standing up.
As they laid there, they all glared at each other as if they were blaming each other for their own mistakes.
Of course, the wolf wouldn't remain idle while they were like this.
It turned to look at Qin Yue Ru again who it had deemed as the weakest member.
Then it suddenly jumped out again, opening its mouth as it prepared to bite down on Qin Yue Ru.
When she saw this, she found that she wasn't able to react in time.
None of the kids were able to react in time to this and they could only watch as the wolf got closer and closer to Qin Yue Ru.
But before the wolf could snap its jaws down on her, there was a sword that suddenly slashed out at it. The wolf tried to dodge, but with a twist of his wrist, the sword suddenly followed the wolf as it moved backwards.
The wolf wasn't able to move out of the way in time as the sword suddenly stabbed into its neck and then it fell down to the ground.
Standing there above it was Lin Fan.
