Early the next morning, some large herbivores could be faintly seen on the hills of the northern wilderness.
In the northern wilderness, these animals do not have much value. At most, they only contribute a dinner.
But it is different for this commission.
Seeing the herd of deer in the distance, Hei Lang secretly decided that actual combat training would be the highlight of the day.
…
"Draw the bow...and aim!"
The arrow that flew out was like a shooting star, flying dozens of meters away and hitting the elk's neck.
"pretty!"
"Okay, okay, it seems Master Cravenna is very talented in archery!"
"awesome!"
At this moment, Xu Yang could probably feel the joy of hunting by the emperors in ancient times.
The mercenaries were happy, because if the employer was that easy to fool, the next thirty days would be as good as paid leave.
Xu Yang was also very happy, because the proficiency in the archery specialty and the hunting specialty had already been activated. Next, the mercenaries only needed to prepare some more prey to unlock these two specialties.
Ifreya was also very happy, because everyone would definitely be able to eat all the prey they had hunted.
Of course, the mercenaries were not all fools. They helped Xu Yang trap a crack beast early in the morning.
The Crack Beast is over one meter tall and two to three meters long. It looks a bit like an oversized black panther. Its claws and teeth are powerful enough to break a tree half a meter wide. Even if it is injured, for a first-level rookie They are all good opponents.
"Crackmon (slight injury)
Race level: Level 15 beast
Strength: 35
Constitution: 30
Agility: 12
Wisdom: 7
Perception: 10
Charisma: 8
Introduction: The most common carnivore on the northern plains, its meat is of average quality and is suitable for making cured meat. "
More than a dozen silver-level mercenaries surrounded the crack beast in the middle, while the black wolf was only three meters away from Xu Yang to deal with emergencies that might occur at any time.
Crack Beast has never seen this battle before.
But a beast is a beast after all. Even if it is in a desperate situation, it still retains a bit of instinctive blood, dragging its injured forearm and running towards the weakest Xu Yang.
Xu Yang was not panicked. He first took advantage of the crackle beast's slow speed and took out his hand crossbow. It was impossible for the direct charge to miss, and the flying crossbow arrow accurately hit the crackle beast's eyes.
Normally, the Crack Beast would have been able to avoid its vital points with its good agility, but the injured Crack Beast obviously didn't have that reaction.
The crossbow arrow pierced the crackle beast's eyeball, and the bursting plasma immediately dyed the gradually blackening field of view of the crackle beast into blood red.
However, the severe pain did not make the crack beast retreat, but instead rushed towards Xu Yang even more frantically.
Xu Yang's head was clear. When Hei Lang taught his experience, he said that even when faced with lower-level monsters than themselves, mercenaries usually would not choose to resist the monsters head-on.
Because the human body is much more fragile than the monsters, unless protected by armor, even a monster that is one level lower than you may still hurt you.
Xu Yang relied on his good speed to dodge sideways, and attacked with a long sword that had no special skills or professional bonuses.
But it's a pity that the long sword only made a shallow scratch on the crack beast's body, not even the fur.
This is also the disadvantage of attacking from the side. If it cannot hit the vital point, it will be like a sword hitting the armor in vain.
Even if such an attack involves dozens or hundreds of sword strikes, it will only cause superficial wounds to the monsters.
From ancient times to the present, from the savage era when wild beasts fought each other, the competition has always been about who can tear each other's vital parts first.
The Crack Beast stopped its front body and swept away with its inertia.
However, it is a pity that the injury to the forearm was calculated by the mercenaries. The insufficient strength of the forearm caused the crack beast's emergency stopping ability to be greatly reduced. The sweeping body only raised dust lightly, but Xu Yang did not need to avoid it at all.
Xu Yang, on the other hand, had already taken the opportunity to complete the chant.
[One Ring Frost Spell—Ice Arrow]
"What!" Hunter Rose in the distance showed an incredulous expression.
Light blue light spurted from Xu Yang's fingertips, and the cold breath condensed, turning the air into a light blue mist. The collected elemental energy instantly converged into ice-blue arrows, and then shot out.
The elemental ice instantly pierced the crackle beast's front right arm, and the bone-breaking ice energy instantly frosted the crackle beast's entire forearm——
Before the blood even had time to rush out, Crackmon felt that his front legs had completely lost consciousness.
"call--"
Xu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the crack beast would forcefully twist its body by leaning on its injured leg, and with just one pounce, it would open its bloody mouth to the front of Xu Yang's head.
The unprepared Xu Yang even forgot to lift his sword...
Not far away, Eve's eyes glowed red, and on Xu Yang's chest, the spider-shaped tattoo also flickered faintly.
Click——
The black shadow covered his eyes, and the next moment he came back to his senses.
The figure of the black wolf, which was not much different from the crack beast, had already arrived in front of Xu Yang. The black and golden giant sword passed by, and the crack beast was cut in half along the open bloody mouth.
The bursting blood rushed to both sides, and not a single drop fell on Xu Yang's body.
The silver level can already be called a strong one in local cities, while Black Wolf is the best in silver, and is one level away from the gold level.

————————
"Your Excellency Cravenna, I really don't understand what you think. A talent like yours should be furthered in the Mage Tower."
A high-end mage is a very precious profession. The most correct growth path for a mage is to enter the mage tower, improve knowledge through a large number of books, and avoid detours through excellent old mage.
The mage in actual combat does not have a combat mode of positioning, positioning, and output.
Instead, they were protected in a safe position from the beginning, using the warriors as traction and human shields. The mage only needed to be responsible for chanting spells and accuracy.
Therefore, in team combat, there is actually no difference between a practical mage like Hunter Rose and an academic mage in the mage tower.
On the other hand, if you have time to hone unnecessary skills, you may have studied two or three more magic books in the mage tower and learned new spells.
For a mage in a team, the comprehensiveness of spells is much more important than the ability to dodge attacks.
Xu Yang did not answer Hei Lang's question. The employer had no obligation to answer the mercenary's doubts. Instead, he asked Hei Lang to find a few more nearby beasts. It would be better to catch a few of the nearly common monsters in Huang Xiaoqiu. Come and practice.
Hei Lang didn't have any objections. After all, who was the boss? Besides, catching some first-level beasts was not considered hard work.
"Scared me to death, believer. Please don't do such dangerous things while I'm sleeping. It will scare me awake."
Will co-writing just wake you up!
"After all, my power has not been restored yet. Even if you, a believer, are bitten to death, I can't do anything."
Indeed, it makes sense.
"The Evil God of Waste."
Xu Yang cursed in his heart, but fortunately he didn't intend to place his hopes on this guy.
It is said that a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. He still has the automatically triggered fourth-level absolute protection scroll on his body, and the second-level shield scroll he bought in the auction house has not yet been triggered. Naturally, he cannot be killed by a small beast. hurt.
But if the scroll is really wasted, Xu Yang will definitely have to punish Heilang and the others.
"Ahem, believer, don't say that. I have already transformed into a little bit of divine power by eating that little bit of blood.
You can use my magic now. With my help, you don’t even need to use up your mental energy! "
Ariel was very anxious. If a god has ten thousand followers, then ten thousand followers are just licking dogs.
But if a god has only one believer, then the god will become the licking dog of the believer.
Hearing what Ariel said, Xu Yang opened the panel curiously.
Xu Yang:
Title: Earl of Pioneer (not inherited)
Territory: Eagle Territory (Wasteland Level: If this is considered territory, then the grass on the roadside can also be considered a toilet)
Race level: Level 4 human
Professional level: 1st level wizard/1st level warlock
Sub-career: None
Strength: 20 (+2)
Constitution: 20 (+6)
Agility: 20 (+4)
Wisdom: 20 (+6)
Perception: 20 (+2)

Talent: Innate magic (Legendary). You can sense magic when you are still in your mother's womb. Magic perception is more familiar to you than having no sense. Your affinity for magic is incredible even to the goddess of magic.
Feats (+3): Etiquette, Arts, Persuasion, Deception, Lore, Sleight of Hand.
Power: Psionic controller, you are born with the ability to control the mind. You can shock, charm, control, and read life through the mind.
Attached of the Evil God: You gain the Attachment of the Evil God Leus. You are Ariel’s most beloved dependent. He will fulfill most of your wishes, activate additional magic, and adjust all attributes by +10 (+0).
As Ariel said, after he recovered a little bit of his divine power, he was indeed not as useless as before.
Except for the first two skills, all the skills after them were given by Ariel.
"Magic Explosion" is noble force damage.
"Intimidation Field" can make the enemy lose consciousness just like Xu Yang did when facing the Crack Beast.
"Spider Control" can control spider creatures whose command level is not higher than your own.
"Spider-sense" can improve perception and reaction
The final "prey mark" can mark the exact location of a creature within 500 meters.
Not a single useless skill!
Xu Yang decided to take back what he just said.
"No matter how you are a believer, I am still very powerful. Believing in me will be the most correct choice you have ever made."
"Lord Evil God, you are awesome! Your Majesty Ariel, you are so hard!"
---------------
[Ice Arrow]!
[Ice Arrow]!
[Ice Arrow]!
On the hills of the Northern Wasteland, it was already the twentieth beast that fell under Xu Yang's ice arrows. Unlike the first time, Xu Yang chose the fighting method that a mage should have.
So I only saw several silver-level warriors trapping the black-iron-level beast in the middle. Each one of them held a sword but did not dare to slash at the beast's vitals, just waiting for Xu Yang in the distance to harvest.
And Xu Yang became more and more proficient, and later he could almost kill with one blow.
Of course, the most important thing is that the level of Ice Arrow has been improving, and it has reached level 6 in one afternoon.
"Master Cravenna must have... read a lot of books about Ice Arrow before, hahaha."
And Comrade Lie Mei could only comfort himself in this way. Unless it was death, Lie Mei would not be able to accept it. He just kept using Ice Arrow to prove his evidence because he did not know much magic, which led to Xu Yang directly learning the Ice Arrow. fact.
"Yes, I did."
The "Fundamentals of Magic Theory" I bought at the market mentioned the words "Ice Arrow" twice, and I was right to read it.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, I heard before that Master Cravenna spent two days reading books at the Mercenary Guild. I didn't believe it at first, but it seems to be true."
"You feel the jealousy and pain of this woman, who has paid too much to learn magic in the past."
Seeing Liemei cover her ears and steal the bell, Xu Yang made up his mind not to show other magic in front of her in the future.
What if you go crazy.
However, Xu Yang's good days of letting go of gaining experience will eventually come to an end. After all, Xu Yang looks very cool when taking blue medicine, but no one can guarantee whether drinking too much of this stuff will cause stomach upset.
According to the potion merchant, you can only drink three bottles of mental recovery potion a day.
At the same time, Ariel also murmured secretly in her heart:
"My followers won't be Mystra's buddies, right?"
The little evil god was very nervous. After all, compared with the powerful goddess of magic, he was just a useless evil god who had lost his divine power. Whether he could regain his divine power was a matter of two questions. If that petty man found out that he was trying to steal a man from him, then the designation would be over.
