On the Seven Towers

Augusto didn't think that things like magic beasts could pose a threat to them. He was more inclined to think that there might be some idiots following them, alarming the magic beasts in the forest, or trying to distract them. He told the rest of the people to pay attention to defense, and pointed a few people to the place where the noise came from.

Perhaps in the era before the Seven Towers, some powerful magic beasts or groups of magic beasts would often cause trouble to people. In places where magic beasts are dense, there have even been incidents of beast tides attacking human towns. But when magic flourished in the Seven Towers era, a large number of high-level magic beasts were hunted as materials for making magic props and alchemy potions.

Facing the threat of the God of Nature, the magicians of the Seven Towers obviously had no idea of ​​sustainable development and the development of magic beast resources. After their wanton slaughter, many types of magic beasts were killed, and even dragons were almost extinct.

Some of the remaining species are often weak in strength and value, but even these species are in a period of transition, leaving only low- and middle-level groups.

This is why in the era of the Seven Towers, various powerful holy artifacts and scriptures emerged one after another, but it is almost impossible to find some suitable materials now.

The growth of magic beasts is much slower than that of humans. High-level magic beasts have always been scarce in later generations. Often, if you hear about high-level magic beasts, they will become the target of competition among various forces. This situation has lasted for many, many years, so the continent has never seen the scene of flying dragons covering the sky and giant beasts everywhere.

This strongly proves that humans are the most efficient predators no matter which world they are in.

Sure enough, Augusto climbed up the hill and looked forward. There were only seven or eight wolves chasing a wild boar running towards them. Coincidentally, the wild boar was rushing towards their resting position.

"Sir, this is a snack for us." Wood said, rubbing his hands, "Let's go and kill the wild boar and the wolf!"

Augusto didn't see any problem and nodded, "Go."

Wood and the other three assassins of the Shadow Group each drew their short swords or daggers and leaped towards the wild boar and the wolf like the wind.

They were just a few weak beasts, both Wood and Augusto judged so.

However, when the wild boar ran closer, Augusto suddenly felt something was wrong. He observed the wild boar's steps and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the steps. Augusto had killed many wild boars and had seen many wild boars running. The master's outstanding observation and memory told him that the order in which this wild boar moved its legs was different from the wild boars he had seen before. The order reminded him of people crawling on the ground, not pigs running.

He looked at the wolves behind him and saw the same movements. Those animals looked like... people wearing animal skins.

"Wood, there's something wrong with those animals!" Augusto shouted.

"What?" Wood turned his head back naturally. In his opinion, these stupid animals posed no threat to him. At this time, the wild boar in the front had a dark purple light in its eyes, and purple airflow appeared on its four hooves. Its speed suddenly increased by more than two times. Originally, the wild boar and Wood were more than ten meters apart, but with this acceleration, it arrived in an instant. A black magic blade appeared on the wild boar's outstretched front hoof, and it unexpectedly slashed at Wood's neck.

Wood looked back in panic and jumped back with force on his feet, but who knew that just when his throat was about to avoid the slashing route, the black blade suddenly lengthened a few inches, deeply slashed his neck, and cut most of his head and neck open.

Wood's blood sprayed in the air, and he covered his neck, but it was too late. Blood oozed uncontrollably from his fingertips, and he fell to the ground, no longer able to stand up.

Two nearby warriors pounced on the strange wild boar, stabbing the boar's neck with two short swords, one on the left and one on the right. If it were an ordinary animal, it would never be able to predict such a situation, and would only be killed by the two men in mid-air. However, the wild boar actually did a body rotation in the air, barely avoiding the attack of the two men.

At this time, the wolves behind also arrived, and all the wolves had black airflows on their bodies like the wild boar, and then they became reborn. The wolf running at the end spit out a ball of light, which exploded among the remaining shadow group warriors. This was actually a weak magic.

Although many magic beasts have spell-like abilities, most of the abilities of magic beasts are simple and crude elemental damage or self-strengthening effects. This kind of weak magic that requires complex structures to form is not something that ordinary magic beasts can release.

All the warriors felt their bodies sink, and their movements became laborious. At this moment, the wolves in front had already approached them and began to attack them with claws with negative energy.

The warriors' previous experience of fighting wolves was completely ineffective here, because no wolf used its mouth to bite them. Instead, they dodged and attacked like masters of combat skills, as if they wanted to stand up and fight them.

The wolf mage stood still and released the second deceleration magic. A warrior was about to avoid the claws of a vicious wolf, but this magic slowed his retreat and the wolf's claws pierced his heart.

The other warriors were also worse off under the superposition of negative magic, and they were about to fall one by one to the hands of the wolves and pigs.

Luckily, Augusto had already rushed over at this time. He slashed out a sword in mid-air. Although the wild boar dodged the first slash, the aura was like a spirit snake, curling up and wrapping around the wild boar's body layer by layer, cutting it into pieces before it could dodge. Augusto clearly saw that a human-shaped shadow appeared from the wild boar's body. Because it was caught by his sword, it made a sharp whistle and dissipated in the air.

"These are undead! They are controlled by people, don't treat them as monsters!" Augusto roared while swinging his sword to slash at the nearest wolf. Those wolves seemed to have discovered his strength and no longer wanted to fight and fled around.

Augusto's second sword aura failed to hit the wolf, and it was dodged by a big tree. However, the master's sword aura was not that simple. The sword aura split into two in the air, bypassing the big tree on the left and right, and cutting the wolf's body into three sections from both sides. Another figure jumped out of the wolf's body, but this figure was not hurt by the sword energy and fled away at a faster speed.

There must be someone like a necromancer behind the scenes manipulating everything. Augusto weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a moment and decided to track this shadow to see who was behind it.

Augusto said to the remaining two warriors: "You go back first, and let everyone else stay alert."

He shot out like lightning and chased after the shadow.
