Howl!!!
Five giant wolves pounced, three targeting Alan, while the remaining two headed straight for Qin Tian.
"Ha, look down on me?"
Qin Tian bent his knees, his body flashed like a blink, instantly disappearing in front of the black wolves.
Boom!
Boom!
Two heads exploded violently, leaving only one black wolf in front of Alan.
Evolution Points +2344
Evolution Points +1890
"Tier Three Evil Beasts."
Qin Tian's eyes flashed as he watched the two black wolves beneath him climb the tree in pursuit, repeatedly pulling the trigger, ending their lives.
Thud
Thud
The two wolf corpses fell heavily.
Qin Tian stood on the tree, set up a sniper rifle, and silently watched the battle.
The black wolf facing Alan was the largest among the five, its evil energy at its peak, appearing to be a Tier Four Evil Beast.
The black wolf's explosive power was extremely strong, its claws and teeth its sharpest weapons, evil energy surged over its black fur, and its defense was quite formidable.
Ordinary Tier Four Spiritualists might not even be a match for the black wolf.
However, Alan's performance against the black wolf was very surprising to Qin Tian.
His spiritual ability level was quite high, at least at Tier Four Late stage, his body technique agile, his swordsmanship lively, evidently having undergone very professional training, most likely from a prestigious family.
However, Alan's problem was also obvious, lacking combat experience. Many times, he missed opportunities to directly end the battle, instead being intimidated by the black wolf's fierce and violent stance after being injured, appearing hesitant.
This is a common issue for all newcomers.
However, when these issues appeared in a Tier Four Spiritualist, it was quite rare.
Whoosh!!!
The wolf's claws tore down, the dark evil energy like burning flame, carrying an astonishing heat and pressure.
Alan noticed the black wolf's open belly; originally, he could have launched an explosive assault, a thrust straight at the black wolf's chest. However, he worried that if he failed, he would be hit by the wolf's claw.
He hesitated, choosing not to go for the aggressive tactic, but instead stepped aside to dodge the giant claw.
Unexpectedly, the black wolf was cunning; the wolf's claw was just a feint. As Alan dodged, the wolf's tail, like a whip, struck Alan directly.
Bang!
The thin figure flew backward, the back heavily impacting the tree, causing it to shake and leaves to fall.
"Cough~"
Alan coughed, expelling the suffocating air inside him. With a protective treasure, he wasn't injured, and the pain was much less than expected, but this strike from the black wolf completely ignited his fighting spirit.
Looking at the black shadow pouncing, Alan gritted his teeth, the sword suddenly glowing blue.
Clang~~
The sword hummed.
The blue light intersected momentarily with the black shadow, then immediately separated.
Alan wielded the sword single-handedly, sliding dozens of meters on the ground, fallen leaves swirling outwards.
The black wolf landed on the ground and took a few steps forward.
Then—
Slash!!!
The black wolf's side opened with a huge gash, blood and innards gushed out, it howled mournfully before crashing to the ground, its eyes closing slowly.
Alan turned his head, looking at the lifeless corpse, his heart filled with immense achievement and joy, loudly cheering:
"I won, I killed it!"
"Killing an enemy much weaker than you, what's there to be excited about."
Qin Tian jumped down from the tree and said calmly:
"You had at least five chances to directly end the fight, but your hesitation let these opportunities slip away. This black wolf was weaker than you, giving you room for error. But if it were a stronger enemy, do you think you'd have the luxury to hesitate?"
Hearing this, the enthusiasm in Alan's heart was instantly doused with a cold bucket of water, and the smile on his face vanished.
"But wasn't it my first time killing an enemy? Can't I be excited for a bit."
Alan lowered his head, muttering softly.
"Will the enemy go easy on you just because you're a rookie?"
Qin Tian knocked on Alan's forehead, coldly:
"Hurry up and calm down, the next wave of enemies is coming soon."
"Oh~"
Alan rubbed his head, then gripped his longsword, looking ahead with anticipation and excitement.
Bring it on
The more the better
I will forge my path as a warrior with your blood and souls.
Mighty bears, giant wolves, ravens, dark elves...
Qin Tian and Alan guarded their territory, killing wave after wave of enemies, the battle lasting from morning till noon, with nearly a hundred enemies falling under his gun, evolution points skyrocketing by 230,000, totaling nearly 600,000.
In this process, Alan also grew rapidly, his swordsmanship no longer rigidly school-like, but quickly integrated with the battlefield's simplicity and fierceness, allowing him to defeat Tier Four Evil Beasts with relative ease.
Even when facing the fiercely skilled dark elves, he displayed strong resilience, increasingly exuding a warrior's aura.
Slash!
Alan thrust his sword into the black wolf's hindbrain, taking several deep breaths, then looked up triumphantly at Qin Tian,
"Qin Tian, how was that strike just now? Wasn't I cool!"
"Just so-so. Clearly, you could have dispatched the opponent more simply, but insisted on showing off your swordsmanship."
Qin Tian said faintly: "But overall, you've made great progress, which is commendable."
In his view, Alan's talent was exceptional, not only overcoming psychological barriers in a short time but also quickly learning and filling gaps in numerous battles. He was undoubtedly a genius.
Of course, he wouldn't say these words out loud, lest the kid's pride swell.
"Hehe."
Alan discerned the recognition in Qin Tian's words, a smile blossomed on his face.
From childhood, he was used to others' praise and compliments, yet when words of acknowledgment came from Qin Tian, he felt a genuine sense of joy and accomplishment.
Why he felt this way, he couldn't say, but unknowingly, Qin Tian seemed to have become a significant figure in his life.
"Qin Tian, have you noticed that the appearance rate of evil beasts is getting lower and lower."
Alan said: "I think today's battle is coming to an end, and we two have completed the task, right."
"At present, it seems to be the case."
Qin Tian glanced at the surrounding piles of corpses. At least in the area they were responsible for, not a single evil beast had made it through safely. As for other areas, that wasn't his concern.
"Does this mean we also get the battle merit reward?" Alan asked, full of expectation.
"Yes."
Qin Tian looked up, several green birds circling overhead, serving as the eyes of the elves, gathering battlefield information. Whatever anyone did, how many enemies they killed, would be relayed through the green birds accurately to the elves, ensuring fairness in awarding merits.
This was similar to the Empire's battlefield eyes.
Just then, Qin Tian suddenly heard a commotion from the side, the sound growing nearer, seemingly a fast-moving creature approaching.
"Alan, prepare for battle!"
Qin Tian shouted lowly.
Alan instantly raised his guard.
Rustling sounds came, the shadows of the trees swayed, and then, a black panther appeared before the two, its body agile, treading black wind, a few bone-deep wounds on its side and retreating, at first glance appearing like a common evil black beast, but those deep blue eyes lacked the vicious destructive nature of the black beast, carrying instead a hint of wariness.
"This is..."
Alan felt a familiar yet strange power fluctuation from the black panther, narrowing his eyes and instantly recalling something, shouted:
"Be careful, he is a Dark Druid!"
