It can be easily solved with an axe, which means that it is just the weakest skeleton. This is good news.

But no one had time to rejoice, because there was more.

After Pei Renli released the light operation, he quickly raised his finger again, leaving three flashing runes in the air.

"Magic Missile!"

The magic sphere wrapped in azure magic power flew out from between him, lightly bypassed Lydia at the front, and hit the shoulder of the other skeleton.

Magic missiles come with built-in tracking, which is its biggest feature, but its power is really not flattering.

The skeleton was staggered by the magic missile. It seemed to have hit the joint between the arm bone and the shoulder, and one of its arms fell off.

One characteristic of undead creatures like skeletons is that as long as the undead fire in their eyes is not extinguished, they will never truly die, even if they are broken into parts.

Due to her previous experience of being besieged by goblins, Lydia did not dare to rush too far this time. After arranging a skeleton, she stood on guard and remained motionless, keeping herself under Peri Renli's spell support and Moen's buff.

within the range.

"Behind! The skeleton from behind is coming!"

Anna warned, turned around and saw more than ten black figures walking around the cabin and walking towards their location.

Pei Renli, who was standing at the back, covered his mouth and said in a lower voice that might have been obscured by the wind and rain:

"Did you call these skeletons?"

Ravna, hiding in the shadow at his feet, responded.

"No, I didn't call you."

It has nothing to do with Ravna, so what's going on with these skeletons?

At this time, Lydia immediately made a judgment:

"Retreat, let's go to the river bank!"

Skeletons move slowly, and even though they move faster the closer they are to the living, they are still not as fast and flexible as living people.

The four of them quickly left the vicinity of the cabin, with their backs against the river. In this way, they would be attacked from three sides at most, and could bring all the skeletons into view.

Moreover, the four of them formed a formation with Lydia in front, Moen and Anna on the other side, and Perrenli at the back.

Prioritizing DPS protection is the most basic of basics, and they still know this.

Two more magic bullets were thrown out, and one of them was lucky enough to hit the skeleton's bare head. The violent impact caused the Undead Fire to be shattered, and the number was reduced by 1 again.

But at this time, the skeletons that were still in the field of vision just now were surrounded.

Anna did not draw a bow or use the scimitar at her waist. Instead, she carried a wooden stick picked up from the ground and relied on her outstanding flexibility to help Moen, who was unable to free his hand during the performance, to resist the approaching skeleton.

Undead creatures are resistant to slashing and piercing damage. Whether they are shot with arrows or slashed with a scimitar, the effect is not very good. However, they are generally afraid of blunt blows. If their dry bones are knocked, cracks will appear, and then hit again.

It will break into pieces in no time.

Because the distance was closer, the skeletons entered the lighting range of the light spell, making it easier to aim. Pei Renli switched the magic missiles to a more powerful strike ray.

This spell is equivalent to a high-speed version of magic missile, but without the tracking function.

Almost every time Pei Renli completed the rune and pointed his finger at the target, the skeleton would make a banging sound. Sometimes the skull would be instantly killed when he hit it, giving him the illusion that he was using a pistol.

Just when this was going well, Lydia, who was at the front, shouted:

"Be careful! They are not all bones, there are also skeleton soldiers!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her raising her shield to block a rusty long sword, and then struck it with an axe. The skeleton did not die suddenly like before, but only shook for a moment and regained its balance.

The Skeleton Soldier has level 15, which is higher than Pei Renli's level, and it is much more difficult to deal with than the Skeleton Bones of Zhan Wu Zha.

As mentioned before, undead creatures such as skeletons have a wide range of levels, and it is difficult to tell which one is more awesome just by looking at their appearance.

Due to the inclusion of skeleton soldiers, everyone who had been relatively relaxed immediately felt the pressure. Lydia could deal with one or two skeleton soldiers, but she would be pushed back step by step by more skeleton soldiers. She originally supported

The defensive circle that was raised began to slowly decrease.

When Pei Renli saw this, he immediately spread his fingers:

"Burning Hands!"

A large swath of blazing flames tore through the barrier of mist and rain, and Dou Tou rushed towards the incoming skeleton.

This is a very correct choice. Apart from the weakness of sunlight, the thing that the corporeal undead are most afraid of is fire.

The grease remaining in the bones was ignited by the magic flame, and turned into a human-shaped torch almost instantly. He fell over before taking two steps, and the bones were scattered on the ground.

Anna, who was in charge of the raiding formation as the 'deputy t', immediately admired when she saw this:

"Well done! The mage is awesome!"

Moen said dissatisfied:

"I work very hard too! Why don't you praise me?"

"Okay, you're awesome too."

"Hey, this is too perfunctory!"

The reason why spell casters are very popular is because magic can do much more than a sword. Whether it is direct killing or other magical abilities, it is very useful.

Just because there are few literate people and not everyone has the qualifications to become a mage, the number of spellcasters is always small.

Burning Hands is a primary spell, but it is already considered a big move for Pei Renli. The clear feeling of emptiness appeared, which meant that a large amount of his magic power was consumed.

It takes time to replenish magic power, and a lot of it was already consumed when dealing with goblins. Pei Renli's total magic power is not as high as heaven-defying, so of course this feeling will occur.

Once the magic power is completely exhausted, he will be as unable to move as if he was paralyzed. However, compared to when he foolishly hollowed himself out, Pei Renli has gained some experience through unremitting training, and it is estimated that the remaining magic power should be enough to cope with this.

A battle.

After wiping the droplets on his forehead that could not be distinguished from sweat or rain, Pei Renli took a deep breath and was about to continue his efforts.

But at this time, such a voice came from behind.

——Crack!

There is a clear difference between the sound of surging water and the sound of rushing river. It feels...

It's like something came out of the water!

Pei Renli immediately turned around to see what it was, but before he could make any move, he felt a slippery strip wrapped around his waist and pulled back hard.

Fortunately, he was not alone. Anna was always nearby to deal with the approaching skeletons, allowing Perenli and Moen to safely use magic to support them. So when something happened to Perenli, Anna immediately threw away the wooden stick in her hand and drew out her machete.

He slashed at Pei Renli's back.

He didn't know what he was entangled in. He just heard a sound like cloth being torn, and then felt a light force on his waist.

After his feet landed again, Pei Renli hurriedly turned around and looked over, just in time to see a big octopus-like figure emerging from the flowing water. Two of its raised tentacles were cut off and fell to the riverside.

It is called the swamp octopus. It is a large creature that lives in fresh water and can reach a length of 5 meters. It usually floats to the surface to obtain oxygen during heavy rains. And unlike its relatives living in the sea, the swamp octopus is similar to an amphibian.

They can move briefly on the shore with their powerful tentacles.

Although this information was recorded in the Monster Manual, Pei Renli still wanted to complain loudly.

What to do if there is an octopus in fresh water!

After all, it is a magical world, so naturally it is very unscientific...

Putting aside this, the octopus that attacked Pei Renli was equivalent to a signal, and then they saw more and more swamp octopuses emerging from the water and opening their eight tentacles towards the people on the shore.

"What happened next!"

Lydia, who was standing in front, didn't know what was going on. She only heard the sound of water.

"It's the swamp octopus! There are more and more of them!"

"Pei Renli, use your magic spell to find a solution!"

"Magic is not omnipotent!"

"They're coming! Don't touch me!"

Moen screamed and hurriedly avoided, and Lydia shouted loudly:

"Don't run around, formation! Don't mess up the formation!"

"Wow!"

The hurried sounds passed through the lowering rain curtain, which showed that they felt very bad when they corresponded...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Storms often occur near the Sea of ​​Trees, but because it is not the rainy season, storms come and disappear quickly.

When the sun set in the west and the flaming sunset glowed red on the sky, four figures slowly approached Naspar who was about to close the city gate.

From a distance, they were holding each other's backs, and from a close look, they were supporting each other. The four miserable people just returned to school.

Being chased and beaten by goblins, and flanked by skeletons and swamp octopuses, although they were not very powerful monsters, they were enough to leave a deep impression on these newbies.

It is said that even Lydia, who loves fish, said she doesn’t want to see fishy food recently. You can imagine the extent of their psychological shadow...

Although there was some bad luck involved, everyone really underestimated the adventurer's request before, so they must be more careful next time.
To be continued...
