Age of Adepts

As a human city closest to the Greenland Forest, a small group of Demon Hunter Knights is also stationed in Blue Hill City.

According to information received from the vultures, the Knight Hunter team had left the site seven days earlier and, after hiring some local mercenaries, had stuck its head in the Greenland Forest and had not returned to date.

It also means that the Demon Hunting Squad was already active in the Greenland Forest before their Wizard Squad entered the world!

Without delay, Mary quickly returned the news to the Wizard Camp and informed Grimm that the monster was being hunted deep in the forest.

At the time of the notification, Grimm was leading his own magic puppet squad around a group of Ogre clans.

This cannibal tribe has a total of 27 members, of which 22 are adult cannibals and 5 are cannibal pups. With a Cannibal Demon 3 meters tall and a strong body weight of 500 pounds, plus a powerful power of up to 14 points, every adult male has quasi-wolf strength. A slightly weaker female cannibal demon with no less terrible power than a senior apprentice.

If such an Ogre clan were to be handed over to Aboriginal natives to surround it, it would probably take between 300—500 heavily armed and trained fighters to do so. And even if it succeeds, the team will have to pay the terrible price of nearly half the casualties.

However, when this task falls into the hands of a wizard, it may become so simple!

If it's just a simple strangulation, Grimm just needs to send a flame lord to take them out of their nest. But in that way, the idea of obtaining a live sample would be frustrated!

So Grimm used only one bottle of debilitating agent to pollute the cannibals' waters. Then, while their strength was greatly diminished, Grimm summoned six horrible pythons and captured them.

Adult male cannibals have 16 physical and 14 physical points of strength, combined with super flesh regeneration, which has actually counteracted a poor refining quasi-witch. Unfortunately, when they are contaminated with debilitating agents that are specifically formulated for their race, their strength is greatly diminished when both body and strength fall to 10 o'clock.

The quasi-woman python puppets possess 16 points of power and 18 points of health, and only when the cannibals become infected with the plague did they lean out into the nest. Nor does it attack the enemy, relying on the rocky body to drive all the ogres together.

Grimm only appeared at this time, applying a somnolence technique with a voodoo scroll, so 27 ogres fell to the ground, and the coarse wooden stick and boulder stick in his hand smashed a shallow pit out of the ground.

Commanding Rock Python to open the loop and swallow these sleepy ogres into his stomach, Grimm had time to process the information stored in the messaging crystal.

Demon Hunting Squad... Entered 7 days ago...

The message also caught Grim's attention.

By time, this demon hunter squad entered the Greenland Forest even earlier than the witches had arrived. So it is highly likely that their purpose is not towards the encampment of the wizard, but a different task.

Never happens to have some indigenous magicians hiding in the Greenland Forest to attract the Hound Knights, do they? Though this is a bit absurd, it is possible that Grimm could have guessed it by analyzing the professional characteristics of the Hunter Knights!

As he sent Rock Python back to the camp, Grimm summoned 10 monsters to the surrounding mountain forest and searched around for traces of the Knight Hunter team.

Wind Weird is a low-order demon puppet made by Grimm from a wind-based primary crystal nucleus with relatively weak strength and a shape like a cyclone over a metre high. Their strength, constitution, and spirit are all below 5 o'clock, but they are a mess of weak fighting power. But the only good thing about them is they're agile, they fly.

Actually, this is bullshit too. It's really weird that a small cyclone of green air congestion doesn't fly!

Grimm attached a little spiritual strength to each of the 10 monsters before releasing them. When they fly silently over the edges of the forest, the blue body is almost able to blend into the blue sky background and is not easy to attract the attention of the enemy.

That's why Grimm specializes in creating sentries that serve as flying sights!

Ten monsters, 10 different spiritual perspectives, and the message sent back is also massive. If Grimm's mental power alone may only support more blurry visual tracking. But now, with the aid of a chip, Grimso no longer depletes his mental power on the flight route that commands the monstrous wind, but gives it all to the chip.

The chip directs Weathermonster's repeated mesh searches and inventories over the forest to optimize flight routes to search for maximum area. And Grimm just needs to find a safe place to rest and wait silently for the chip to bring him the good news.

At night, the chip did bring him good news.

The Knight Hunter Squad found it!

…………

Three or four piles of bonfires were lit in a hill 80 miles from the Sorcerer Camp.

Despite the fact that there are too many dangerous monsters in the forest that are not afraid of the flames and can even be attracted to the light, knights who have traveled dozens of miles of mountain roads after the bitter war need these.

Mercenaries set up their tents and sat around the campfire and began to prepare themselves for a rich dinner.

A wild boar caught on the road was skinned, gutted out, washed clean in a stream, then worn on a wooden stick and barbecued on a slow bonfire. Experienced mercenaries spin wooden sticks and apply blended sauce and spices evenly with brushes.

The roasted golden yellow wild pork continues to spill amber grease, nourishing itself on the charcoal fires below and overflowing with intense aromas across the field.

The camp is filled with joy after a great victory!

The camp was busy with hired mercenaries, while the 13 knights of the Hunter Squad helped each other remove heavy armor and simply handle the wounds on their bodies.

Today, they made a smooth journey to find the evil man's lair hidden deep in the Greenland Forest, blocking seven evil doers. After an intense battle, they succeeded in killing six evil doers and captured one alive. And the cavalier squad, although wounded, did not suffer a heartbreaking death, which undoubtedly gave the leader of the cavalier who led the squad a long breath.

As for the four that were killed by auxiliary mercenaries, they were never included on the casualty list by the Knight Leader. These money-eyed usurpers go back and just give them the rest of the gold coins, and the mercenaries will only be grateful to Dade, and there will never be any dissatisfaction.

Mercenaries have been doing this most dangerous thing since ancient times!

So ever since they were hired in Blue Hill, they've been aware that they can't turn back. Now that the task has been successfully accomplished, the Knights have promised a generous gift, so the pain of losing four teammates will soon be replaced by a desire for a better life in the future.

The camp was filled with laughter and a thrilling atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the knights and mercenaries, there is a thin figure that is tightly and firmly bound. Seriously, he's just a teenager! Chronic malnutrition made his body look extremely thin, and his abdomen was thin under a broken grey cloth robe, revealing a rib.

His skin was exposed to blue-black bruises and countless tiny scars, and a rope strangled from his mouth, stuffed with a rough gravel. It's all in case he sneaks up on it!

The impossibility of holding a spell, the inability to fit with gestures, rendered the strange force that had just awakened him completely incapable of resisting. You can only lean obliquely beneath a tree root and look at every smiling face in the camp with hateful eyes.

These are his enemies!

It was this group who drove him into a place of uncertainty and made him a homeless man who could only wander all day like a lonely wild ghost in the remote woods of the mountains where he was rarely found. Had it not been for some kind “companion” to introduce him to that cabin in the woods, I'm afraid his ultimate destiny would have been to become a delicious meal in the mouth of a beast in the Greenland Forest!

Unfortunately, the good days of tranquillity did not last long, and the woodland camps set up by several of their wandering practitioners were destroyed by the hunter knights who followed them. And his companions, those who spent six months in the morning and evening, fell under the knights' swords.

The knights are murderers, and these mercenaries are accomplices!

Looking at them with a smile on his face, his heart was like a fire. Anger, sadness, hatred… these extreme emotions slowly flowed through his mind, letting him bite his teeth so tight that no tears could flow out.

Just give me a chance to escape, and I will kill them all with the cruelest, craziest means!

He roared wildly in his heart, but he knew it was just his own delusion.

The thought of despair devoured his soul!

At this painful moment, he opened his eyes violently and raised his head in surprise, his eyes staring immobilized somewhere over the camp.

There's something unusual there!

This... This is the element fluctuation characteristic of the wind element!

Above the hustle and bustle of the camp, in the dark night sky, there is nothing blatantly empty. But the teenager, with his awakened elemental talent, sensed a special convergence of wind elements there.

Natural Element Aggregation? absolutely impossible!

Because half an hour ago, there were no anomalies there. Wind elements can't converge there for no reason at all!

The next second, however, the teenager bit his teeth so hard that he didn't wake up.

Because three special wind elements converge in the sky and swim slowly there.

Seems… it seems to be detecting something!

This camp is about to change!

Hope flared in the eyes of the teenager and began to observe the perimeter of the cantonment camp in silence.

Soon he discovered something bigger.
