Chapter 65 Retreating to Advance
Click! Click! Click!
The angry ax slashed the burnt tree trunk crazily.
Sawdust flew and branches swayed.
Hall's face turned pale in the tree. He looked at the angry jackal below and gnashed his teeth and muttered:
"Don't try to catch me!"
At this moment, the tree trunk suddenly shook violently, and the tree began to tilt slowly and was about to collapse.
Seeing the ferocious-looking jackal getting closer and closer, Hall was just about to raise the dagger and aim it at his neck to hit him hard, at least he would die happily.
Whoops!
A sharp sound of breaking through the air came, followed by a sharp long roar. Hall subconsciously looked up and saw a twisted ray breath hitting his chest accurately.
"What..."
There was a loud "boom", the thick trunk hit the ground hard, and the slender branches and leaves broke instantly.
The angry jackals swarmed around, but could not find any trace of Hall.
But they can obviously smell Hall's scent, and it's nearby!
Where they didn't see it, Yaya flew in a circle and returned covertly to the direction from which it came.
Matthew confirmed that Hall, a "capable" subordinate, had temporarily saved his life. He immediately made up his mind and said to Angela:
"A large number of jackals are approaching. Let the soldiers retreat first. We will return to the lumber camp to defend."
"We must concentrate all our efforts..."
While saying this, Matthew had already taken out a communication scroll, briefly explained the situation, then tore it open and released it.
No spell scroll is cheap.
Although communication is a one-level spell, the spell model is relatively complex and the probability of making a spell scroll is low. Just such a scroll will cost Matthew 100 gold coins.
But now the situation is urgent, let alone 100 gold coins, even if it is 1,000 gold coins, he will throw it out without blinking.
However, as Matthew looked at the gradually dissipating blue magic light, a reverie suddenly emerged in his heart:
"Wait a minute, I remember that the magic communicator hasn't been invented yet!"
Matthew remembers clearly that the magic communicator, known as the magic phone of "Arcane Emperor", was originally made by a player and an arcanist.
The latter quickly accumulated huge wealth through this fast-selling product, and later even grew into a great arcanist!
Countless players, spellcasters and even adventurers have to spend money to buy very convenient spell communicators.
The Great Arcanist is nicknamed the "Communication Master" by countless players!
In order to earn gold coins, Matthew has also made and sold spell communicators, and is familiar with its production process and subsequent version updates.
"It seems that I should keep a good record of the information and technology in my mind. Maybe it will come in handy..."
The soldiers did not hesitate and soon began to retreat in the direction in which the formation was passing.
The kobolds who had just been subdued originally seemed a little confused.
But after being driven and whipped by the strong kobold, he immediately became honest.
They honestly left behind all the scraps and scraps of their belongings, and retreated together, holding the kobold eggs that Matthew had specially ordered to take with them.
However, the jackals were very fast. After noticing the signs of their retreat, they immediately howled and chased after them.
What greeted them were fireballs flying out from dark corners!
Boom!
The dozen or so Jackals who rushed at the front were instantly blown into charcoal, and the surging shock wave smashed them into chaos.
"Ding, you kill the level 3 jackal warrior and get 30 experience points!"
"Ding, you kill the level 2 jackal warrior and get 20 experience points and skill value x1."
"Ding, you kill..."
"..."
The kill prompts that flash across the screen fully demonstrate the power of the fireball technique.
"There are 230 mana points left..."
After some mental calculation, Matthew glanced at the overturned Jackal, immediately got on his horse, and continued to retreat backwards.
The old village chief Field, who was following closely next to him, turned around and drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
Just hearing the buzzing sound of bowstrings, the jackal poacher coming around from the right was shot to the ground by an arrow.
Ignoring the kill prompts, Matthew, escorted by Gold Tooth, Silver Tooth and Old John, settled at the next ambush location in advance, waiting for the arrival of the Jackal pursuit force.
Yaya is hovering in the sky, Matthew will not let her take action easily, he only needs her to provide vision.
When he was attacked while chasing his prey, the jackal became particularly angry and chased after the scent left by the old village chief Field!
If they had a commander, they would definitely not be so reckless and rough.
But due to a strange combination of circumstances, they lost most of their leaders and leaders, and were instantly dominated by angry emotions, turning into stupid and cruel beasts.
A few minutes later.
Another fireball exploded among the jackals, and the mutilated bodies of their companions screamed horribly.
The jackals, who were full of madness and anger, calmed down a little, moved a little slower, and the people became more dispersed, trying to avoid being overwhelmed.
Matthew seemed to have guessed their thoughts.
The old village chief Field, who had hidden himself well, showed up very arrogantly.
He drew his bow provocatively and nocked an arrow, killing an injured Jackal warrior directly.
The roar of "Boom" resounded among the crowd of jackals.
Their already scarlet eyes immediately turned redder, roaring and chasing the old village chief Field.
Field, who fled in a panic, pretended to be approached by jackals and shot arrows back from time to time, firmly attracting their hatred.
Just when Field was about to be overtaken by the physically strong Jackal poacher.
Another bright red fireball exploded among them!
The one who took action this time was Yin Ya, whose mana had recovered.
Although he failed to trigger multi-casting, he killed more than 20 unsuspecting jackals in a concentrated pursuit formation.
The mana consumed by casting the fireball spell was immediately recovered by more than half!
After being bombarded by fireballs one after another, even the stupidest jackal finally became honest.
They all run around scattered and do not dare to gather together again, which leads to a sharp decrease in their lethality within a short range.
Although several gnoll poachers caught up with Field, they quickly fell to his arrows one after another.
However, the cruel and resilient Jackal did not stop the pursuit because of the death of his companion.
They roared continuously, creating a series of undulating roars, issuing horrific threats, constantly consuming the physical strength of Field's mount.
There are also faster Jackal assassins who have been chasing up from both sides and are about to complete the encirclement of Field.
Matthew, who saw all this situation, couldn't help but sigh at the tactics and cunning of the Jackal.
The gnolls can survive in this dangerous world and firmly occupy a place. They indeed have commendable advantages and strengths.
It's a pity that Matthew doesn't like these man-eating monsters!
