Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
Hudders’ sword pierced right through the Fire Wolf’s throat!
The terrible Second-Grade Magical Beast collapsed on the ground!
“Ha... Haha... Hahaha...”
Captain Hudders staggered, almost unable to stand stably, but his expression was high-spirited. He was so excited that he looked up and laughed.
His laughter was heard by everyone around the village entrance!
“It died?”
“The Fire Wolf is dead!”
“Captain killed the Fire Wolf!”
“That’s wonderful...”
Everyone felt ecstatic!
“Phew! Finally killed it!”
ng Lei breathed out a mouthful of dusty air, and he relaxed completely. But, when he saw the empty Wealth column on his personal attributes interface, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
His 108 gold coins were all gone!
He only got 5 fireballs...
“So costly!” ng Lei smacked. “Fortunately, the Fire Wolf is dead!”
The Fire Wolf King’s death had a huge impact on the beast tide. The madness and fierceness in the wild beasts’ eyes gradually disappeared. Soon, they lost all their fighting spirit and retreated.
This was what a beast tide was like. Once the leader died, the remaining beasts would all scatter. There was no way they would stay and continue risking their lives to fight!
After all, the leader had forced the vast majority of the beasts to co. Once the leader died, they would run away imdiately!
This was indeed the case!
The initially wild and bloodthirsty beast tide retreated like a tide, and within a few minutes, they retreated completely, leaving only corpses, wreckage, and blood all over the ground!
“Retreated?”
“The beast tide retreated?”
“The beast tide finally retreated!”
“F*ck, I thought I was going to die...”
The top of the village wall was suddenly filled with noises!
So waved their swords and roared loudly with faces flushed red, while others collapsed on the ground and breathed heavily!
The beast tide had finally retreated, and they had obtained victory!
“Captain, are you okay?”
Several guards jumped off the village wall and helped Captain Hudders up, their eyes full of concern and admiration!
“I’m fine!” Captain Hudders shook his head, and his gaze actually fell on ng Lei. “Little ng Lei, it was thanks to you just now. If not for you, we’d be in danger today! But you hid pretty deep, huh, boy? I didn’t even know that you, boy, are actually a Magician!”
ng Lei was actually a Magician!
Upon hearing that, all the guards looked at ng Lei with a completely different look in their eyes than before!
Shock!
Confusion!
Disbelief!
As compared to Battle Aura, which didn’t have much requirent on natural talent, the cultivation of magic was much stricter!
Battle Aura!
With Battle Aura cultivation thods, so long as the physical body constitution was not too weak, all ordinary people could cultivate it!
However, magic was different—it was really strict with its requirent for natural talent. Among 10,000 people, there may not necessarily be one person who possessed talent for magic!
Thus, Magicians were much rarer than Warriors!
What was rare was precious. Therefore, Magicians beca the “nobility” among the strong, becoming the word that represented prestige, mysteriousness, and strength!
There were nurous legends about Magicians on the continent, but most people had never seen a Magician in their whole life! And because of this, there was a little bit of... awe in the looks that everyone gave ng Lei!
Whatever ng Lei was in the past, at the mont, he released magic, he was covered with the halo of mysteriousness and prestige, and nobody dared to look down on him anymore!
“I can only use the Fireball Technique!”
ng Lei scratched his head. He knew himself the best—he wasn’t a proper Magician yet, not now!
“That’s still very aweso!”
...
The beast tide ended!
The old and the weak walked out of the shelters. They started post-disaster clearing up, treating the wounded, dealing with beast corpses, nding village walls...
Everything was going smoothly and orderly!
For a village that relied on natural resources like Magical Beast Village, the beast tide was definitely a disaster, but it also often ant a great opportunity. After every beast tide, a lot of carcasses would be left behind!
The fresh at could be consud, the furs and skins could be made into clothes and armor, while the extra things could be used to exchange for daily items, such as salt, sauces, and ironware!
Also, because there were no deaths during this beast tide, it was pretty much a big harvest. Every household got their share of fresh at, the villagers were joyful, and their faces were full of happiness!
All this food would last them for a very long while!
ng Lei also returned to his simple ho carrying a big wild boar. In the following days, this big wild boar would be his food!
I’ve got to enjoy myself properly today!
He split firewood, made a fire, and roasted the at!
After half an hour, oil dropped from the golden roasted at, releasing an amazing fragrance. ng Lei swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were full of hunger!
Food shortage had always been a problem for the village. For soone who had no parents, was weak, and completely unable to fight like him, he could only pass his days by getting food rationed by the village!
He wouldn’t die from hunger, but he couldn’t eat till full either!
Today, he was finally having a filling al!
After a period of torturous waiting, the roasted at was finally cooked. ng Lei could no longer contain the hunger in his belly, so he grabbed a light brown boar leg and started nibbling.
“Hmm... Nice!”
When one was hungry, whatever that they ate tasted nice. There were no sauces on this roasted at, only so rough salt, but ng Lei ate it like it was a great delicacy!
“Eating alone?”
Captain Hudders had walked over when he wasn’t noticing. He held a jar full of good wine in his hand!
“Captain Hudders, why are you here?”
ng Lei put down the boar’s leg in his hand. He looked a bit ungraceful with oil all around his mouth.
“Haha, I was wandering around alone, and I arrived at your place... Co, let try it!”
Captain Hudders handed the wine jar in his hand to ng Lei, grabbed a piece of roasted at himself, and started eating. “Eh? It’s good! Your roasted at is so fragrant...”
“Wine?”
When ng Lei slled the fragrance of wine coming from inside the wine jar, his throat moved a little. In a resource-scarce small village like Magical Beast Village, wine was a rare item just like books!
Ordinary people definitely couldn’t get to drink it!
Gurgle...
“Sh*t! So hot!”
