The stench of blood drifted along the road with the cold wind.
Four figures stared indifferently at Minori and his party, causing the air to freeze slightly.
Whoosh—
"Roar!"
Kuro glared fiercely at the four people in front, its mouth open to reveal its teeth, and the bone chains on its body slowly wriggled, creating a metallic vibration.
Enri pursed her lips with a nervous expression, her hands holding the short sword trembling slightly.
Even without a clear understanding of the strength of the power, she could sense in this environment that the four people blocking the way were much more powerful than the attacking enemies killed by Miss Verdant Witch just now.
"Hehe."
A faint chuckle.
Enri subconsciously looked in the direction of the Verdant Witch and found that Miss Verdant Witch still had no expression.
Did I hear it wrong just now?
The thought flashed through Enri's mind, and her light brown eyes retracted, she found that Miss Verdant Witch, who was always indifferent to any situation, seemed to be a little more serious.
This further illustrates that the four figures blocking the way are not ordinary enemies.
"These people are so hateful, the captain is so nice."
Enri felt a sense of anger inexplicably in her heart.
During this period, she already knew why someone wanted to attack them, because of the reward issued by the emperor of the Baharuth Empire.
Fifty thousand gold coins!
This number is suffocating, and even more makes Enri feel that it is an unimaginable astronomical figure.
But the "Baharuth Empire" is clearly an enemy of their "Re-Estize Kingdom". These bad guys actually want to kill the captain for money.
"A little troublesome."
Verdant Witch calmly stared at the four figures opposite, and thought to herself.
Unlike these humans she had killed before, the four people opposite her gave her a sense of danger.
According to the previous situation, if she were to face them alone, it would probably take some time to completely solve them.
Crack!
Among the four people in front.
A man wearing light leather armor, with red hair and a short beard on his chin, looking to be in his 30s, took a step forward and let out a hearty laugh:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, everyone from "Freedom Will", passage ahead is prohibited."
"Speaking of which, offending an alchemist who can easily create "Regeneration Potions" is not a smart choice."
"But the alchemist's reward is too high. Compared to a friendship that cannot be measured by value, I personally think gold coins will be more reassuring."
The other three members followed with a laugh.
Minori's gaze swept over the four of them. The red-haired man should be the captain of this squad, as for the other three.
An archer carrying a bow and arrow, a magic chanter holding a staff and wearing a cloak.
There is also one dressed a bit strangely, with a symbol of the Earth God hanging around his neck, but holding a short-handled hammer weapon in his hand.
Faced with this scene, Minori supported himself on the carriage and stood up, sighing: "Adventurers attacking adventurers should be a prohibited thing in the rules of the Adventurers' Guild."
"There are three Mithril-ranked adventurer squads in "E-Rantel", "Kralgra", "Sky Wolf", "Rainbow", which one are you?"
Minori was slightly curious. These three Mithril-ranked adventurer squads had great reputations in "E-Rantel", and it was not difficult to learn about them.
"That's confidential."
Seeing that Minori and his party, except for Enri who was a little nervous, the other two were very calm, the red-haired captain's heart sank: "Some of the Adventurers' Guild's rules are indeed a bit of a headache."
"But rest assured, some of the guild's rules are only for ordinary adventurers. For adventurers of our level, as long as it doesn't cause a bad influence, the guild will turn a blind eye."
"Boss, stop talking nonsense, the opponent's magic chanter has already consumed a lot of magic power to solve those wastes just now!"
The man holding a bow and arrow with a somewhat thin body, said coldly: "We can't give him time to recover his magic power now."
At the same moment when the archer spoke.
The team member holding the iron hammer and wearing the Earth God's holy seal around his neck suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Alright, Second Tier Magic · Landslide!"
Rumble!
The ground under Kuro's feet suddenly collapsed, and its body fell uncontrollably into the pit below.
"Roar!"
Kuro roared, its strong body reacted while falling, its forelimbs grabbed the edge of the pit, trying to climb out of the hole.
"Leave this hellhound to me! I've wanted to get a hellhound's bone chain as a weapon for a long time." The iron hammer man shouted excitedly and rushed towards Kuro.
[TL: DIE]
"Solve one."
The red-haired captain smiled slightly. He was not talking nonsense when he chatted with Minori just now, but preparing time for his teammates to cast magic.
Bang!
The ground shook.
The red-haired captain picked up the sharp long sword in his hand and rushed over: "You two, stop that tricky magician."
Along the way, they had obtained a lot of information by observing the traces of the battle after Minori and his party solved their opponents.
The only uncertainty was the genius alchemist.
A "Mithril-ranked" adventurer team facing a "Gold-ranked" adventurer team is an overwhelming situation no matter how you look at it.
But being rewarded by that emperor of the Baharuth Empire, and even being able to escape the empire, shows that this black-haired boy cannot be analyzed solely by the adventurer's level.
"Second Tier Magic · Lower Strength Enhancement!"
The magic chanter team member released enhancement magic as soon as possible, which landed on the red-haired captain.
Not only that.
"Lower Agility Enhancement!" A magic item on the red-haired captain flashed a blue light, and the speed of the rush was increased again.
"Sorry to trouble you, leave them a breath, Kuro, you too." Minori said lackadaisically.
[TL: lackadaisically means - lack of enthusiasm or effort]
"Yes."
"Roar!"
Two responses came.
Verdant Witch stood up and jumped, and her body lightly came to the front of the carriage.
"Am I being underestimated, or was the previous estimate wrong." The red-haired captain's heart flashed this thought when he saw the Verdant Witch in front, but his footsteps did not stop.
He knew his teammates would take action!
"Rapid Shot!"
"Fireball!"
Black arrows and basketball-sized fireballs flew out from behind at a faster speed, surpassing the red-haired captain, and blasted towards Verdant Witch first.
"Magic Armor."
Verdant Witch said lightly, emerald green light enveloped her body, forming a semi-transparent armor-shaped magic shield.
Boom!
Boom!
The arrows and fireballs simultaneously attacked Verdant Witch, making two explosive booms, forming a wave of air that spread out.
However.
A look of surprise flashed in the red-haired captain's eyes, the dual attack composed of magic and physics was easily resisted by Verdant Witch.
"Damn it!"
The red-haired captain's original intention to bypass Verdant Witch and directly attack Minori was paused, and he immediately waved the long sword in his hand, pressing his legs down like a cheetah and directly towards Verdant Witch.
"Go to hell!"
The distance between the two sides was extremely close.
The red-haired captain knew that if the attack of his teammates did not work, if he attacked Minori, he would inevitably be flanked by Verdant Witch.
What's more, the other party is a magic chanter, such a close distance, it is easier to solve the witch first.
"Plant Entanglement!"
Swish! Swish!
Roots of vines quickly grew out of the ground and wrapped around the red-haired captain, facing the attack of these vines.
"Flying Slash!"
A cold light flashed, and several vines were directly cut off.
In one breath.
The red-haired captain had already rushed in front of the witch, with a hint of killing intent and excitement in his eyes: "Solve the second one, Heavy Strike Slash!"
"Strength Weakness."
"Magic Armor."
Verdant Witch quickly released two magics, breathing a little faster.
Bang!
The long sword heavily slashed on the magic armor, the force of the counter-shock made the red-haired captain's arms numb, and then his pupils shrank.
"What's going on with this green-haired girl!"
"She can actually launch two powerful magics at the same time."
The red-haired captain's heart shook, his hands quickly retracted, and at the same time, his back foot slammed on the ground, trying to pull the distance again.
Verdant Witch also took a step back, and released magic again with cold eyes.
"Corrupt Destruction!"
A corrosive liquid flew out, at such a close distance, the red-haired captain could not avoid it at all.
Hiss—Hiss—
"Ah!!"
The red-haired captain let out a scream, the light leather armor on his body did not play an effective protective role at all, and was corroded and destroyed in the blink of an eye, forcibly corroding a big hole in his chest.
Dang~
The long sword fell.
The red-haired captain fell to the ground, convulsing all over.
"Ah—" Almost at the same time, a miserable wailing came from the pit.
The iron hammer man who jumped into the pit, preparing to hunt Kuro, was bitten by Kuro and jumped out of the pit, and threw it to the ground.
Also only one breath left.
"How is it possible!"
"Go!!"
The remaining two members showed horror and disbelief on their faces when they saw that the captain and his companions were quickly defeated so quickly.
Without the slightest hesitation!
The two turned around and prepared to escape.
"Darkness!" Verdant Witch's voice came, the surrounding light began to disappear quickly, and was shrouded in darkness.
