The bloody scent of magic battles lingered in the cold wind on both sides of the road to E-Rantel.
Four figures stared indifferently at Tang Zheng and his group, causing the air to thicken.
Whoosh—
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Dog glared menacingly at the four figures in front, its mouth open to reveal its teeth, the Bone Chains on its body slowly writhing, creating a metallic vibrating sound.
Anri pursed her lips, her expression tense, her hands holding the Short Sword trembling slightly.
Even without a clear understanding of the strength of her opponents, she could sense in this environment that the four blocking their path were much more powerful than the enemies killed by Emerald Witch earlier.
"Hehe."
A barely audible chuckle.
Anri subconsciously looked in the direction of Emerald Witch, finding her still expressionless.
Did I mishear it just now?
The thought flashed through Anri's mind, and she retracted her light brown eyes, noticing that Emerald Witch, who was usually indifferent to any situation, seemed a little more serious.
This further indicated that the four figures blocking their path were no ordinary enemies.
These people are so hateful, when Captain is such a good person.
Anri felt a surge of anger for no reason.
Over this period, she had learned why someone wanted to attack them: the bounty issued by the Emperor of the Bahharuth Empire.
Fifty thousand Gold Coins!
The number was suffocating, and Anri felt it was an unimaginable astronomical figure.
But the Bahharuth Empire was clearly an enemy of their Re-Estize Kingdom, and these bad people were willing to kill Captain for money.
"A bit troublesome."
Emerald Witch calmly stared at the four figures opposite, thinking to herself.
Unlike the humans she had killed before, the four people opposite 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 resolve the situation.
Crack!
Among the four figures in front.
A man wearing light leather armor, with red hair, a short beard on his chin, and looking to be in his 30s, stepped forward first, letting out a hearty laugh: "What a pleasure to meet you, members of Free Will. Passage ahead is prohibited."
"Speaking of which, offending an Alchemist who can easily produce Regeneration Potions is not a wise choice."
"But the bounty on the Alchemist's head is simply too high. Compared to a friendship that cannot be measured by value, I personally think Gold Coins are more reassuring."
The other three members followed with a burst of laughter.
Tang Zheng's gaze swept over the four figures. The red-haired man should be the leader of this team, as for the other three.
An archer carrying a bow and arrow, a Magic Caster holding a staff and wearing a cloak.
And one dressed somewhat strangely, with an Earth God holy seal hanging around his neck, but holding a short-handled hammer weapon in his hand.
Faced with this scene, Tang Zheng supported himself on the carriage and stood up, sighing: "Adventurers attacking adventurers should be a prohibited act in the Adventurer's Guild rules."
"There are three Mithril Rank Adventurer Teams in E-Rantel: Klargla, Sirius, and Rainbow. Which one are you from?"
Tang Zheng was slightly curious. These three Mithril Rank Adventurer Teams had great reputations in E-Rantel, and it was not difficult to learn about them.
"That's for us to keep secret."
Seeing that Tang Zheng and his group, except for Anri who was a little nervous, the other two were very calm, the red-haired captain's heart tightened: "Some of the Adventurer's Guild's rules are indeed a bit of a headache."
"But rest assured, some of the guild's rules are to restrict 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, don't talk nonsense. The Magic Caster on the other side has already consumed a lot of Mana to deal with those trash just now!"
The thin man holding a bow and arrow spoke in a cold voice: "We can't give him time to recover his Mana now."
At the same moment the archer spoke,
The member beside him, holding a hammer and wearing the Earth God's holy symbol around his neck, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Alright, Second Tier Magic - *Ground Collapse!*"
Rumble!
The ground beneath the Evil Spirit Dog's feet suddenly caved in, and its body uncontrollably fell into the pit.
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Dog roared, its sturdy body reacting as it fell, its front paws reaching for the edge of the pit, trying to climb out.
"Leave this Evil Spirit Dog to me! I've wanted a Bone Chain made from an Evil Spirit Dog for a weapon for a long time." The hammer-wielding man shouted excitedly, rushing towards the Evil Spirit Dog.
"One down."
The red-haired captain smiled slightly. He hadn't been chatting idly with Tang Zheng earlier, but preparing his teammates for magic.
Bang! The ground shook.
The red-haired captain raised his sharp longsword and charged forward, "You two, stop that troublesome Magic Caster."
Along the way, they had observed the battle traces left by Tang Zheng's group after defeating their opponents, gaining a lot of information.
The only uncertainty was the Genius Alchemist.
A Mithril Rank Adventurer Team facing a Gold Rank Adventurer Team was an overwhelming situation no matter how you looked at it.
But to be wanted by the emperor of the Bahharuth Empire, and even escape the Empire, showed that this black-haired kid couldn't be analyzed solely by his Adventurer Rank.
"Second Tier Magic - *Lower Strength Amplification!*"
The Magic Caster member immediately released a buffing spell, which landed on the red-haired captain.
And not only that.
"*Lower Agility Amplification!*" A Magic Item on the red-haired captain flashed blue, and his charging speed increased again.
"Trouble you, leave them a breath, Xiao Hei, you too." Tang Zheng said with little interest.
"Yes."
"Roar!"
Two responses came.
The Emerald Witch stood up and leaped, her body lightly arriving in front of the carriage.
"Underestimated, or was the previous estimate wrong?" The red-haired captain thought as he saw the Emerald Witch in front of him, but his steps didn't stop for a moment.
He knew his teammates would attack!
"*Rapid Shot!*"
"*Fireball!*"
A black arrow and a basketball-sized Fireball flew from behind, faster than the red-haired captain, and slammed into the Emerald Witch first.
"Magic Armor."
The Emerald Witch said calmly, a emerald green light enveloping her body, forming a semi-transparent armor-shaped Magic shield.
Bang! Thud! The arrow and Fireball simultaneously attacked the Emerald Witch, making two explosive roars, forming a wave of air that spread out.
However.
A look of surprise flashed in the red-haired captain's eyes. The dual attack of magic and physical force was easily blocked by the Emerald Witch.
"Damn it!"
The red-haired captain, who had originally wanted to bypass the Emerald Witch and directly attack Tang Zheng, paused, immediately swung the longsword in his hand, and pressed down with his legs, rushing towards the Emerald Witch like a cheetah.
"Die!"
The distance between the two sides was extremely close.
The red-haired captain knew that if his teammates' attacks were ineffective, attacking Tang Zheng would inevitably lead to being sandwiched by the Emerald Witch.
What's more, the opponent was a Magic Caster, and at such a close distance, it would be easier to deal with the witch first.
"Plant Entanglement!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Vines rapidly grew from the ground, coiling towards the red-haired captain, who faced the attack.
"Flying Slash!"
A cold light flashed, and several vines were directly cut apart.
In a breath.
The red-haired captain had already rushed in front of the Emerald Witch, a hint of killing intent and excitement in his eyes: "To finish off the second one, Heavy Strike Slash!"
"Power Weakness."
"Magic Armor."
The Emerald Witch quickly released two spells, her breathing becoming more rapid.
Bang! The longsword heavily struck the Magic Armor, the force of the impact numbing the red-haired captain's arms, and then his pupils shrank.
What's going on with this green-haired girl!
She can actually cast two powerful spells at the same time.
The red-haired captain was shocked, his hands quickly retracting, and at the same time, his back foot pushed off the ground, trying to regain distance.
The Emerald Witch also took a step back, her eyes coldly releasing another spell.
"Corruption Destruction!"
A corrosive liquid flew out, and at such close range, the red-haired captain had no way to avoid it.
Hiss—Hiss—
"Ah!!"
The red-haired captain let out a scream, the light leather armor on his body providing no effective protection, and in the blink of an eye, it was corroded and destroyed, forcibly corroding a large hole in his chest.
Clang! The longsword fell.
The red-haired captain fell to the ground, convulsing.
"Ah—" Almost at the same time, a miserable wail came from the pit.
The hammer-wielding man who had jumped into the pit to hunt the Evil Spirit Dog was bitten by the Evil Spirit Dog and thrown out of the pit onto the ground.
He was also on his last breath.
"How is this possible!"
"Run!!"
The remaining two members saw their captain and companion defeated so quickly, their faces showing horror and disbelief.
Without the slightest hesitation! The two turned around and prepared to flee.
"Darkness!" The Emerald Witch's voice came, and the surrounding light began to disappear rapidly, enveloped in Darkness.
