Chapter 51 Cronin is seriously injured

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Huge rocks kept falling, creating pits and stone balls among the crowd.

The hunting team's originally neat formation became somewhat messy due to the attack of falling rocks.

More importantly, with the passage of time, there were not many short spears in the hunting team, and a qualified short spear thrower could carry at most five short spears. Some warriors with bows and arrows took out their bows and arrows to attack the black-faced monkeys, while some warriors without bows and arrows could only pick up shields on the ground to block falling rocks for their teammates.

Richard used a level 2 ice arrow to shoot a black-faced monkey hiding in the woods.

"Jiji."

The black-faced monkey screamed and glared at Richard angrily, but did not rush over rashly.

"It seems that the level 2 magic is still not lethal enough to the level 2 monster."

Richard sighed, but after this attempt, Richard began to target the first-level black-faced monkeys, which was also a good opportunity to practice the new second-level attack magic he had learned.

Among the more than one hundred black-faced monkeys, the number of level one black-faced monkeys was the largest, and there were only four level three black-faced monkeys. However, the level three black-faced monkeys all knew how to hide themselves, and gave the hunting team no chance to concentrate their fire.

The black-faced monkeys that were shot to death with the short spears just now were all level one and level two black-faced monkeys.

With the reduction in the number of members of the hunting team and the black-faced monkeys, the hunting team's short spears have been used up, and the magic power of the first and second level black-faced monkeys is also running low.

Following the order from the third-level black-faced monkey, the black-faced monkey, which had run out of magic power, began to jump down from the tree and rushed towards the hunting team.

A black-faced monkey's sharp claws scratched the soldier's chest, leaving deep claw marks on the red armor. The soldier was shocked and retreated repeatedly. The soldier next to him hit the black-faced monkey in the face with a battle axe, and the black-faced monkey fell backwards.

It is obvious that the black-faced monkey is not a magical beast like the Earth Bear that is known for its physical strength. After using up its magic power, it will suffer huge casualties when facing the hunting team.

Craigie easily cut a black-faced monkey into two pieces with his enchanted sword, but he couldn't help feeling confused when he saw the other black-faced monkeys rushing towards him fearlessly.

In the past, when he led a hunting team into the mountains to hunt black-faced monkeys, the black-faced monkeys would often flee quickly after suffering casualties, and it was difficult for the hunting team to catch up with these cunning guys in the forest.

However, today's black-faced monkey is acting contrary to its usual behavior and is no longer afraid of life and death.

No, there are exceptions. In the distance, the four level three black-faced monkeys were still hanging on the branches and using the rockfall technique towards this side, without caring at all whether there were any of their own kind under the falling rocks.

Is it because he could not stand the repeated encirclement and suppression by the hunting team and made up his mind to kill the members of the hunting team even at the cost of sacrificing his own kind?

Craigie didn't know, but thought of Viscount Fast who should be on his way.

Victory must belong to us.

Thinking of this, Craigie stopped thinking about it and began to concentrate on killing the enemy in front of him.

On the other side, Richard and other wizards also gradually began to lose their powers. Cronin's magic power was exhausted, but the noisy environment made it impossible for him to meditate. He could only hide under the protection of Bertha and the squire knight.

Richard and the others didn't have much magic power left, but the three second-level wizards also made considerable gains.

Even Bertha, whom Richard had always looked down upon, showed her strength as a second-level wizard. With her magic equipment, she could easily seriously injure a first-level black-faced monkey.

"Get away."

Richard and three other second-level wizards shouted in unison.

A huge rock fell from a distance. It turned out that a third-level black-faced monkey discovered the wizards in the crowd and was willing to spend more magic power to kill them.

However, Richard and the others had strong observation skills and were always keeping abreast of the surrounding elements. As soon as the black-faced monkey cast the rockfall spell, Richard and the other two second-level wizards discovered it.

Several people hurriedly fled with their escort knights.

Richard and Dart were closer, and they and their squire knights fled in one direction, while on the other side were Bertha and Cronin's men.

A second-level black cotton monkey suddenly broke through the blocking of the hunting team soldiers and rushed towards Bertha and Cronin.

The soldiers under their command were at most level one, and they were completely unable to stop the attack of the level two black-faced monkey.

The second-level black-faced monkey easily rushed towards the two wizards.

Bertha and Cronin both dodged quickly. Bertha began to use her second-level ice element defense magic, Ice Armor. A piece of ice armor covered Bertha's body.

Cronin, on the other hand, looked in astonishment at Bertha who decisively cast a defensive spell on herself and quickly fled.

Then, the second-level black-faced monkey rushed over with a grin and swung its claw on Cronin's body.

Cronin barely stretched out his right hand to dodge, but was slapped away by the black-faced monkey's claw. Cronin flew seven or eight meters away and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Beast, seeking death!"

Seeing this, Craigie rushed over and killed the vicious level 2 black-faced monkey with one knife.

Craigie then comforted the frightened Bertha and rescued Cronin.

Cronin's right hand was now broken into several sections, barely connected by skin and flesh. There were several deep claw marks on the leather armor on his body, but Cronin was able to survive temporarily because of the armor.

Craigie quickly took out a bottle of primary healing potion and fed it to the unconscious Cronin. It was visible to the naked eye that Cronin's wound stopped bleeding, but his right hand, which had been broken into several sections, was not repaired.

Primary healing potions cannot heal such serious injuries.

Cronin woke up slowly, looked at Bertha who was doubly protected by ice armor and leather armor, and wanted to say something but soon fainted again.

Richard and Bertha both looked in the other direction.

The noble boy who had been intimate with Bertha was in that direction, and the level 2 black-faced monkey that had just seriously injured Cronin broke through from that direction.

Bertha glanced at the noble boy, then at the seriously injured and unconscious Cronin, without saying anything more.

But then, Bertha stopped attacking the black-faced monkey and began to recover her magic power silently.

Richard took a deep look at the noble boy. As a level 2 warrior, how could he have allowed a level 2 black-faced monkey to break in so easily? Considering his relationship with Bertha, Richard was able to conclude that he must have done it on purpose.

However, in such a chaotic battlefield, no one would notice the noble boy's little movements.

Richard only deduced the truth from the motive. The noble boy was not afraid of being identified. Thinking of his resentful look before, Richard also secretly reminded himself in his heart.

……

At this time, a red figure also arrived at the battlefield.

A red figure holding a long sword and wearing armor emitting magical luster, fell from the air onto the battlefield with murderous intent.

Viscount Fast, support has finally arrived.
