The owlbear doesn't have any special magic-like abilities. What it does have is a strong physique and exaggerated strength, which is very simple and pure.

But precisely because it is so simple, it has very few weaknesses.

It should be said that the biggest weakness of the owlbear is that it has no brains. Like the troll, it is easily controlled by the spells of the enchantment school.

But Moen said that his spells were useless, and Perrenli was not good at the school of enchantment. He only knew one night curse, and he had to be very close to use it.

Pei Renli really didn't dare to lean too far forward. With his small body, a slap from the owlbear would be enough.

The two attempts did not achieve very good results, but it is not without progress. At least the owlbear is injured now. If you don't talk about martial arts, the forced delaying tactics are enough to drain the owlbear's blood.

Doing this is a waste of time and energy.

The Sea of ​​Trees is not a safe place. Although it is far from deep, the sound may attract other monsters, and the physical consumption of long-term battles cannot be ignored.

So Pei Renli decided to use a slightly more risky approach.

"Use Fascination on the owlbear."

Moen was stunned when he heard this:

"Ah? Are you sure?"

The Ecstasy will charm the target creature. As long as it does not attack the target, it will sit quietly and listen to the music. However, once the Ecstasy does not take effect, the target creature will feel greatly offended and will go crazy.

Attack the performer.

Compared with the auxiliary magic music commonly used by Moen, Ecstasy is a double-edged sword, and in his opinion, the possibility of killing himself is higher. After all, the spells he used to control the owlbear just now have failed.

"Just do it, I'm sure."

"...Okay, I'll trust you once."

With the change of Moen's fingering, the originally exciting battle music became melodious and very attractive.

Although Moen is always paddling, I have to say that his playing skills are still very good. I feel that he should not be an adventurer, but should find a job in a theater or something like that.

The others did not hear the conversation between Pei Renli and Moen, and they did not understand what was going on when the sound of the piano suddenly changed. However, when they saw that the manic owlbear became quiet, they did not take the opportunity to strike again.

But at this moment, the owlbear seemed to wake up from a dream, his eyes regained focus, and he aimed at Moen who was playing Ecstasy.

Being stared at by an owlbear that was several times larger than a bear, Moen's fingers trembled, and the ecstasy song went out of tune on the spot.

The next moment, the huge owlbear ignored the obstruction of the other three people around him and flew towards him as if he had a grudge against Moen for killing his father.

The heavy body made it feel like a small earthquake when it ran, and Moen felt that his toes were slightly numb.

"Stop, stand here and don't move."

Facing the owlbear rushing towards him like a truck, Moen's first reaction was of course to run, but as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by Perrenli.

"You'll be dead if you run now, just stay still."

Moen thought that Pei Renli was planning to use some powerful magic, but he immediately saw Pei Renli holding the spell-casting gesture to prepare the spell and not intending to throw it out. At this time, the huge owl bear was already close at hand.

Got it!

The shadow that was enough to completely cover the two of them, as well as the unique fishy smell of the beast, all made Moen's hair stand on end and his heart was in his throat:

"If I die, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

I don’t know whether he said this to the owl bear or Pei Renli. Anyway, it was definitely too late to run away.

The strong wind blew up Pei Renli's hood, but he remained very calm. He didn't even blink his eyelids, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just when the owlbear was about to crush the two of them, Moen heard a loud "bang".

When they opened their eyes, they saw that the owlbear that was charging towards them stopped about three or four meters away, as if it had hit an invisible wall. Its owl-like face was really dented by the impact, and it had teeth.

The beak was broken, and blood and other unknown liquids flowed all over the floor.

The scenery in front of him was slightly distorted, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, and the boulder hidden by the illusion revealed its true form.

Only then did Moen remember that he had not seen the boulder protruding from the ground that should have been not far away from him, and he didn't even know when Pei Renli moved his hands or feet.

When it comes to Pei Renli, the spell he prepared just happened to be activated:

"Burning Hands!"

The gushing flames flowed quickly close to the surface of the stone. The owlbear covering his face was immediately hit by the flames, and the thick feathers originally used to resist weapon attacks were immediately ignited.

It stood up in pain and let out a piercing scream. The sound was so loud that both Pei Renli and Moen, who were nearest, felt a dull pain in their ears.

The owlbear's vitality is very tenacious, that is, its blood is thick, and it is unlikely that it can be taken away directly by a single shot of Burning Hands.

But at this time, Kaya and Kemir, who were chasing the owlbear, had also arrived.

"Broken Golden Sword!"

Kemir activated his combat skills and slashed the owlbear's left leg with his sword. The huge beast that lost its balance immediately fell to the ground with blazing fire all over its body.

Kaya's flame razor easily tore through the rising flames, allowing her to jump up unaffected. The tip of the enchanted long sword pointed downwards, and with the kinetic energy of the fall, she stabbed the owlbear from directly above with all her strength.

chest.

The sharp roar stopped suddenly, and the owlbear's body struggled and twitched, and finally stopped moving, leaving only the crackling sound of the still burning flame...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

When teachers assign teams and tasks, they will definitely consider the students' strengths and characteristics and will not give them too dangerous tasks.

In other words, from the perspective of combat effectiveness alone, even if Pei Renli doesn't help, the four of Kemir and the others are enough to deal with the owlbear.

But combat effectiveness is just like a numerical value on paper. There are many things to consider in actual fighting. They really lack cooperation.

Seeing that the spell didn't work, Moen simply played the piano and paddled on the spot without even trying a few more times.

Louisa stood stupidly next to Moen, drawing her bow and shooting arrows. Even if the arrows couldn't cause any damage, you had to change positions anyway. Attacks from different directions could still restrain the owlbear's movements.

Gary, on the other hand, is not good at pure skills. He always relies on his thick armor, but when he can't face the enemy head-on, he immediately panics.

Kemir is not a qualified captain at all. He only cares about dragging the three by himself, without command or coordination. In short, I am in charge, you can do whatever you want.

Originally, Perenli heard that Kemir often led teams to carry out more difficult tasks, and thought he was very reliable. After a long time, he was used as a foil by his peers?

Having said that, although there are a lot of shortcomings, Pei Renli doesn't intend to talk too much about it. He feels that it is a bit too nosy. Anyway, they themselves should be aware of the problem.

The owlbear has been killed, and Anna and Louisa are cleaning up the battlefield.

It's not that the owlbear is valuable, the two of them went to pick up the arrows they shot earlier.

Ammo is not unlimited, so you have to use it sparingly.

"Thank you very much for your help, otherwise we would be in danger."

Kemir expressed his gratitude sincerely, and his sincere attitude towards others is one of the reasons why he is very popular.

Pei Renli waved his hand casually to indicate that he didn't need to worry.

Speaking of which, although Kemir had a good reputation, Perrenli rarely had contact with him.

Except for Pei Renli who often hides in his room to read, he has never been assigned to perform tasks together.

Moen and Gary came over. Compared to Camille, they were much more casual.

"Can you tell me in advance next time? I almost peeed when the owlbear rushed over!"

"It's okay, you should have brought a change of pants, right?"

"Fart, I was just using a metaphor!"

By the way, everyone also remembered to thank Kaya, but they still didn't dare to approach her...

Anyway, Kaya didn't care too much, nodded and ran to help Anna.

"Pei Renli."

Moen approached with a rather vulgar expression, and it was difficult for people to realize that he was actually a handsome guy who was not inferior to Camille.

"Why do you go on missions with pretty girls every time?"

Gary was also cheering next to him:

"Yes, why."

"Look at us, then look at yourself."

Pei Renli said proudly:

"It's obviously a character issue. Besides, isn't there Luisa in your team?"

"People like Camille. Gary and I feel like light bulbs."

Pei Renli was not surprised at all by this explanation. Kemir's popularity was so high that almost everyone, young and old, killed him.

But saying it in front of him made Camille a little embarrassed.

"Everyone, come here and see what I found!"

Fortunately, Anna's voice allowed Camille to step down, and everyone heard the words and came closer.

Anna pushed aside the vines on one side, and found an owlbear about the size of a puppy lying inside. Seeing that the people surrounding it showed obvious fear, they buried their heads under their forearms.

It is estimated that the owlbear encountered Kemir and the others when he came out with his cub, and the war started out of instinct to protect the calf.
