Chapter 90

The county town, Saint-Ribouhe City was located in the middle of Naton County, in the south of Kabia City. Locke and Athena rode Sleipnir towards the south.

At noon, the two of them arrived at the huge mountains, which was the famous Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts in Naton County.

Locke and Athena’s destination was the Crickner City with teleportation site, which was on the other side of the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts.

Although the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts was not as dangerous as the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, it was also dangerous for ordinary people and caravans. Therefore, many people and caravans chose to avoid the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts. Of course, many commercial forces would hire powerful practitioners escorting to cross the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts.

Sleipnir dashed towards the depths of the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts at lightning speed.

Two hours later, Locke, who was on Sleipnir’s back, frowned and seemed to find something. After hesitating for a while, he sighed and patted Sleipnir on the neck. He pointed to the northwest with his index finger and said, “Let’s go there first.”

Sleipnir nodded and flew towards the direction Locke pointed. Soon, he stopped in midair.

Loud noises came from the dense forest below.

Two level-4 mages were fighting with a giant ape of level 4.

The giant ape was more than ten meters high. It roared and threw a huge fist at the wind mage.

The wind mage was an old man. He used the wind magic and flew backward quickly to avoid the giant ape’s attack.

“Damn it! We must get rid of this evil giant ape quickly!”

The old man cursed in his mind after he dodged the giant ape’s fist.

Not far away, the woman was also very anxious. She turned to the old man and said, “Wilmot, let me stop it. You go to protect Miss Hyman first!”

“Okay!”

Wilmot didn’t refuse. The wind elements were gathered in his feet and took him to fly away. In their eyes, the safety of Joanna was more important than anything else.

The woman also condensed an ice awl and stabbed at the giant ape.

The giant ape smashed the ice awl with a slap and roared. A black beam of light shot out of its mouth towards Wilmot.

Wilmot in the midair had no choice but to give up flying and dodge aside.

Boom!

Where the black beam of light passed, the trees were corroded and annihilated, instantly disappearing, and a prominent hill was also shot through.

The two mages once again fought with the giant ape.

Locke withdrew his gaze from the fierce battle and signaled Sleipnir to fly in the direction of Wilmot’s retreat.

Soon, Locke and Athena arrived at another battlefield. Compared to the previous battle, this battle was nothing.

Locke jumped off Sleipnir’s body and landed on a branch in the distance, watching the battle on the ground.

Five or six iron back wolves fell to the ground. Some of them were burned black by the flames, and some were pierced through by the thorns made of stone and soil.

Like ice wolves, the iron back wolves were a special species in Icacia Continent. Their backs were black and hard, and their destructive power was more powerful than ice wolves.

More than ten iron back wolves surrounded Lydia and the others. In the distance, there were three iron back wolves. In the middle was a level-3 wolf king, and on both sides of the wolf king were level-2 iron back wolves.

“Lydia, watch out for your right side!”

Hearing the warning sound, Lydia threw the water ball in her hand to the right without hesitation.

Bang!

The iron back wolf that sneaked up on Lydia didn’t even seem to be a level-1 magical beast and was smashed away by the water ball. Obviously, it was sent to be the cannon fodder to test the state of Lydia and the others.

Looking at the dead iron back wolf, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief. Her pale face was somewhat grateful.

Compared with their previous calmness and self-confidence in Kabia City, the other people’s magic robes were also a little damaged. Their hair was in a mess, and their faces were covered with a lot of dirt, making them look very embarrassed.

“My level-2 magic charms are used up.”

Nathan, the level-1 fire mage with overconfidence in his eyes previously, had his forehead covered with sweat at this time.

The other earth mage said with a bitter smile, “I have… Only one left.”

The others also showed the same expression. It was obvious that the same situation had happened.

To deal with the magical beast of level 1, they used the magic charms of level 2. Tut, tut, these people were really rich. As far as he knew, a magic charm of level 2 would cost about ten thousand gold coins.

He roughly estimated that these four people had just put in more than ten pieces of charms in total, which was equivalent to more than one hundred thousand gold coins. What’s more, there were still many level-2 magic charms that haven’t hit the iron back wolf.

What a group of spendthrifts.

Sighing, Locke wasn’t in a hurry. He leaned against the tree trunk and sat down to see how these people would deal with the danger.

Puff!

Athena also slowly descended from the air and sat on a tree trunk not far from Locke. She looked down at the battle scene below with great interest.

“Arad, Eric, be ready for defense. Nathan and I are in charge of the attack, and Lydia is in charge of support. Now we are gradually retreating to the north!”

Although they were besieged, Joanna was still calm and quickly came up with a solution.

“As long as your guards come over, will we be saved?” Looking at the dangerous iron back wolves around, Nathan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a dry throat.

The others’ eyes lit up as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. Yes, the two guards of Joanna were both level-4 mages. As long as the two could come over, they could solve the current predicament.

“You’d better not take any fluke. The giant ape of level 4 is very difficult to deal with. When they come over, we may have been dead. Therefore, we need to rely on ourselves.” Staring at the level-3 iron back wolves in the distance, Joanna said in a low voice with her eyes slightly darkened.

Hearing this, the other four people’s faces turned pale, and a trace of despair inevitably appeared in their hearts.

“Ouch!”

At the same time, the wolf king roared and gave an order of attack.

Hearing the order of the wolf king, the iron back wolves rushed forward.

“Damn it! It’s iron back wolf of level 3!”

The old man, who was fighting with the giant ape, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the roar.

“Giant ape, I warn you again, let us go! Otherwise, Sir Marquis will definitely lead his troops to flatten the Chell Mountains of Magical Beasts!” The old man warned loudly and anxiously.

However, although the level-4 giant ape was intelligent enough to understand human’s words, it did not understand the human’s worldly wisdom. Facing the so-called threat, it was not afraid at all. It was even angrier and attacked more fiercely.
