Even though they were awarded the "Professional" badge by the Professional Association, these people still maintain awe of blue bloods.

This is true whether it is the middle-aged Barbaro or the young Baias.

Art's eyes moved to the [Night Wizard] who had been changed to the main job slot by him, feeling a little disappointed.

"If the wizard master dominates the town, the criminals will be handed over to the wizard master directly, and there will be no chance for the sheriff and guards to intervene. There will be much fewer crimes such as human trafficking." Byas shook his head.

As a young man, he is much more mature than he appears.

"That's not necessarily true." Barbaro glanced at him, "It's impossible for the wizard to deal with the criminals personally every time. There will always be people below to help deal with them. The main problem is not the criminals, nor the wizard, but those who

The tailman responsible for arrests and the sheriff who interrogates criminals.”

Barbaro saw things more clearly than the young Bias.

Art was also a little surprised by the two people's remarks. He didn't expect them to see it so clearly.

This is true. According to the saying in the previous life, "It is easy for the king of hell, but it is difficult for the devil to deal with."

After chatting for a while, everyone filled their stomachs, rested for a while, and set off again.

This section of the journey after entering the forest begins to encounter danger.

A few hours after the sun set, five or six beasts appeared, but they were all killed by Truno and others and turned into meat for dinner.

They chose a cliff with a rocky back, and after everyone arranged it, everyone sat around the campfire. The meat of the beast was placed on the campfire and gradually cooked.

Although he was despised by everyone, Baruto didn't notice it, or in other words, he didn't notice it on purpose, and he communicated with everyone talkatively.

Whether it was the Flowers or a few mercenaries, they were all brought up to talk with him.

And Art, after chatting for a while, used Urinary Escape as an excuse and left the camp under the instructions of several people to "come back early" and "be careful of wild beasts".

...

Where is the beast...?

Art did not stray too far from the camp. He was always cautious, and of course he understood his own weight. He was not arrogant and thought he could slaughter wild beasts at will just because he learned the first offensive spell.

Compared to humans, beasts are much quicker and more responsive, and in the dark, their danger is much higher than before.

He searched for ten minutes but could not find any wild animals.

A failed hunt.

Hunting wild beasts is indeed much more troublesome than killing thieves, Art sighed.

At this moment, the black crow Glora on his shoulder let out a warning scream:

"Yeah - yeah -"

Some rapid, rough and hoarse crow sounds are full of warning.

Without thinking much, Art had an iron rod in his hand and swung it in a circle.

The impact almost caused the iron rod to break out of his hands, but it also brought a scream in exchange.

"Woohoo——"

A painful cry came from the black shadow that was knocked away.

Although the moonlight was very bright, the intricate tree shadows prevented Art's field of vision from clearly reflecting the image of the other party. He could only see the size of the other party - which was larger than that of a wolfdog.

Art clenched his teeth and looked tense, guarding against the black shadow.

"Ho ho ho—"

It seemed that his stick caused a problem with its pronunciation, and a ferocious roar with vibrato sounded, with a hint of ridiculousness.

A smile flashed across his face, but Art didn't let down his guard.

When killing thieves, he had always ambushed and had the upper hand, but the situation was different now, and the opponent was not a human being.

He twisted his wrist, and the iron rod stained with red and black blood disappeared from his hand, replaced by a long sword.

When the beast discovered this situation, it was suddenly startled, but Art did not let go of this opportunity. He stepped forward with his right foot and slashed his sword down diagonally.

The beast hurriedly dodged, but Art still left a deep wound on its body.

Although he couldn't see it, he could still understand the feeling of the sword penetrating his flesh and the sobbing cry.

At this time, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but he did not escape. A piece of clothing was torn off from his back, leaving three blood stains.

The pain came, which cheered up Art, and he threw out a dark energy erosion with his backhand.

A ball of pitch-black fog flew out of Art's hand and hit the attacker.

"Woohoo——"

A shot of dark energy erosion thrown by Art directly hit the beast's face, causing it to scream miserably, failing to maintain a good balance in the pain, and fell directly to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, he tightened his grip on the sword with his loose right palm and slashed hard at the beast that fell to the ground.

The blade of the sword cut into the flesh and hit what should have been the leg, causing a sense of stagnation. The beast fell to the ground and roared again, and the injured beast in front also swayed and roared at Art, just like

To pounce.

Art didn't dare to hesitate, he pulled out his long sword with all his strength, and slashed upwards at the head of the beast that was charging towards him.

However, the beast didn't really pounce, it just made a pounce gesture, and Art's attack missed directly.

Damn...

Art cursed secretly in his heart, but he suddenly remembered something.

The beast with an injured head, which made a fake move to deceive Art into slashing, pounced on Art, who was trying his best to slow down the attack.

This time it was a real attack. The wide open bloody mouth and the sharp claws glowing coldly under the moon were about to tear away Art's flesh and blood.

However, at this moment, Black Crow Glora fell to the ground due to Art's violent movement, and a circle of darkness flashed in her dark eyes——

Dark energy corrodes!

A ball of dark energy that was half a circle smaller was shot into the beast's wide open mouth.

Compared with the damage, the pain and impact of being directly attacked in the mouth made the beast lose its accuracy immediately——

Hiss——

The attack originally aimed at the neck missed, and the clothes on Art's left waist were torn by sharp claws. The beast's head hit his waist, and the blood left a bright red patch on his body.

His body was shaken by the impact of the beast. Even though he paused, he only took a step back without falling. He raised his sword, turned around and slashed hard at the beast that lost its balance and fell to the ground.

"Woohoo——"

The screams in my ears were mixed with sobs, and the feeling of being cut to the bone——

There is no doubt that this is a heavy blow.

The next moment, he regained his strength, raised his long sword, and slashed down on the seriously injured beast on the ground that was trying to get up and escape. Deep blood marks spread from the beast's head to its neck, and bright red blood spurted out, covering the beast's neck.

The fur that Art couldn't see clearly was stained with blood.

Without any further pause, the long sword aimed at the beast whose leg was injured at the beginning and slashed it down hard.

After a few blows, and with two mournful roars, the two beasts that could not escape lost their lives.

Narrowing his eyes, Art slapped the beast's body with his palm and put them into the inventory, as did the long sword.

Then, he sat on the ground and covered the wound on his arm.

Art looked at the blood on the ground, and a dagger appeared in his right hand. He scratched the pool of blood at his feet, stained it with some blood, and threw out the body of a thief killed in Melenko.

The black crow Glora jumped up to him.

Not more than ten seconds after he sat down, Bias's voice came over: "Mr. Rat! Where are you!?"

"I'm here!"

In this way, the scene was dealt with - the bard who discovered the body was discovered and attacked by the beast, and then wounded the beast with his self-defense dagger. The mercenary who heard the beast's howling rushed over, and the beast noticed the situation.

, chose to escape.

"Ah - ah -" Black Crow Glora also chirped, but it looked a little sluggish. The dark energy erosion just used by [Passive Crow Mage] also consumed its mental power.

.

This little guy doesn't have much mental strength.

After Art responded, a series of rapid footsteps came, rushing to Art's side and taking him back to the camp.

"It's really thrilling, Mr. Art..." Barbaro watched Lina carefully bandage Art's wounds and smiled, "There are more wild beasts around here, and the camp is safer with firelight."

"Camps and flames are the protectors of travelers at night. Ordinary beasts dare not approach them." Baias also smiled, "Mr. Rat, can you tell us about the situation?"

Art said with a "wry smile", "I didn't see clearly what kind of beast it was. I walked there to solve the problem, but I saw a figure lying there. I was a little nervous, so I took out a self-defense dagger and prepared to go.

Check, but at this moment, the beasts rushed over from behind me. Although I tried to fight them, it was a bit difficult for me to face two beasts at the same time... Fortunately, you guys came and took them

Scared away."

He showed a happy expression: "I just ate barbecue and almost turned into a beast's midnight snack..."

At this time, the dagger was placed at his feet, stained with blood and sand.
