I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 278 Killing Barry

It didn't take long for someone to report back, saying that they had found the hole, and the red-robed old man flashed a flash of surprise, as if even he was surprised that things would go so smoothly.

"Go." The old man happily led the people towards the entrance of the cave, but suddenly, feeling something, he glanced in the direction they came from and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Woody asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, a group of rats!" The red-robed old man turned cold and stared at the direction of the forest.

Woody realized something, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates immediately formed a circle, protecting Catherine and the others.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the woods, and a familiar figure came out.

"Barry?" Tom was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Are you following us?"

"No, no, how can this be stalking? It's not your family's business, so why don't you allow us to drop by?" Barry smiled sinisterly, clearly showing his malicious intentions.

"Are you going to fight us?" Woody squinted his eyes and moved his wrists. Following his movements, the mercenaries of Gale Wolf drew their swords out of their sheaths and were ready to fight.

Barry smiled arrogantly: "Woody, if only our magic dragon is here today, maybe I'm really afraid of you."

"Oh? So, do you still have helpers?"

"That's right!" Barry raised his head high: "You idiots, you offended Master Abel without knowing it, no wonder you ended up in this situation."

"Master Abel? Who is that?" Woody was confused. He had never heard of Master Abel, and he didn't know how he would offend him.

He couldn't help but glanced at Tom, and Tom shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't remember it either, which made Woody even more puzzled.

While the two sides were talking, the mercenaries behind Barry also appeared one after another. In addition to Barry's magic wolf mercenary group, there were also some mercenary teams, all of which were well-known in Canai Port.

The faces of Tom and Woody gradually became serious. In terms of quality, these mercenaries were far inferior to them, but they were several times their number. Neither Woody nor Tom was sure that they could survive the siege of so many people. , Protect Catherine.

The two looked at each other, thinking about the hope of escaping with people, but soon their thoughts were shattered, and the mercenaries who came out of the woods were still increasing and surrounded them.

"Fight or run?" Woody looked at Catherine, and at this time he had to listen to his employer's opinion.

Catherine seemed a little nervous, and the handkerchief on her hand was rubbed into a rag by him. She whispered, "Can I go to that cave?"

Tom frowned. At this time, he still wants to find that cave?Is this girl out of her mind?

Surrounded by so many people, can you still take the treasure in the cave in full view?

"Don't worry, we will support you, as long as you get to the cave." The red-robed old man suddenly spoke.

Tom only felt that his eyebrows were going to be knotted along the way, but the employer had spoken, and unless they planned to break the contract, they would implement it.

"Don't worry." Catherine seemed to see Tom's unhappiness, and explained to him: "As long as I enter the cave, I will have a way to leave them, and when we go out, we can choose other directions, and we won't be in trouble if we meet again." They're gone."

Tom didn't know if what she said was true or not, but the chance of breaking through the encirclement was not too great. He felt that the little girl might be a little sloppy at ordinary times, but she should be reliable in key matters, so he agreed to his suggestion.

In the end, everyone decided that Woody's Gale Wolf would take Catherine to the cave to make preparations. Tom would take the Twilight Squad, as well as the black-armored girl and the red-robed old man in charge of the rear. They didn't need to do anything, just try to delay the time. Delay until Catherine gets ready to do the work and then rush down the hole together.

Julian didn't have any opinion on the distribution of tasks like this, and even felt that with the old man's joining, these mercenaries in front of him were nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Tom and the others can't feel it, but he can tell it clearly. The man in front of him is a magister. A fire magister's attack power is comparable to a fortress. As long as Tom's defensive shield is thick enough, a few rounds of magic can be released. If you go out, this small group of several mercenary squads will collapse directly.

A large number of people represents great strength, and it also represents a large number of thoughts. The idea of ​​a small mercenary like this is mostly to let others die and take advantage of himself.

When everyone thinks this way, the combat effectiveness of this team can be imagined, so Julian has always felt that a large number of people may not be a good thing, and he can understand it by looking at the temporary team in front of him.

"Go!"

There are few people, so take the first shot to gain the advantage. Tom put the shield in front of him and roared. The edge of the shield suddenly expanded in a circle, and the bottom touched the ground. The edge faintly formed a transparent shield.

This is a magical weapon!

Martin's figure had disappeared when Barry and the others appeared. Kelly and Kevin, one took out a bow and arrow, and the other drew out a long sword, guarding Tom's side firmly.

Julian and the red-robed old man were protected by Tom's shield. Julian knew that he couldn't hold back. The reality corroded and cursed them one by one, and then used the rain of flames, occasionally mixed with several fear spells. People running around in fright will disrupt their formation.

The red-robed old man looked at Tom and Julian in surprise, with some appreciation in his expression.

He muttered something, then raised his hands slightly.Numerous small fireballs the size of thumbs appeared beside him, firing at the opposite person like a machine gun.

Julian secretly sighed that he really deserved to be a veteran. Although his magic is also powerful, compared with these old magicians who have accumulated many years, he is far behind in fine control.

His skills come from the template of the system, which is very convenient to use, but in many cases, he feels that these skills give people a rigid feeling.

This feeling was also discovered after he became a magister. It seemed that after entering the magister level, he had a deeper understanding of the nature of the world, as if someone had wiped the fog from the windows to make his vision clearer.

Because of Tom's protection, Julian completely let go of his magic power and turned himself into a human-shaped fortress. Everyone who was swept by his sight was hung with various negative states by him. It was not obvious at first, but as time went by As time goes by, they will suffer more and more damage, and eventually become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Julian tried to learn from the red-robed old man's method to control his magic power more carefully. It was not smooth at first, but when he succeeded, the power of his rain of flames increased by [-]% compared to before!

Julian was overjoyed, but he didn't realize that the old mage next to him looked at him strangely.

The skills used by the red-robed old man are known to many mages, especially those mages who are used to fighting. Each of them has mastered several tricks like this to increase the power of magic.

To the surprise of the red-robed old man, Julian obviously didn't know this technique at first, but in just ten minutes, after experimenting with the rain of flames twice in a row, when he released it for the third time, he succeeded!

This kind of speed is no worse than those geniuses in the family.

If such a talent can be recruited into the clan... well, the young lady has done a great job this time.

The old man calmed down and stopped thinking about other issues. The matter of recruiting can be discussed later. He needs to deal with the group of people in front of him first.

The appearance of the two magicians was obviously beyond Barry's expectations, especially the red-robed old man. When he released the magic, the magic power on his body fluctuated very violently, and the aftermath that was exuded tightly made the small animals in the forest shiver and dare not move. , Those mercenaries who were facing this kind of coercion, some of them could stand still, some of them fell to their knees directly, wet all over.

"Damn it! How did this happen!" Barry was originally standing in the front, but both Julian and the red-robed old man regarded him as the main target, and they were hit by a joint attack from the very beginning.

Fortunately, Barry kept a protective device on his body, but it was a one-time use at that time, and it is gone. If he encounters a similar danger like the one just now, he will make a decision.

Barry rolled his eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Hold on, brothers! Our reinforcements are coming soon, and after killing these people, we can get the treatment of sharing the treasure.

Saying this, Barry actually put on a hood that he took off from some unlucky ghost, covered his face, and quietly blended into the crowd.

"Bah! A bunch of idiots." Barry fled from the place where the battle was fiercest, shrunk his size as much as possible, and walked out of the woods as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the battle started, he knew that he might hit the iron plate.He knew that the newcomer in the Twilight Team was a magician, but he didn't know that this guy was already level six!

Such a powerful enemy failed to find out, and he suffered a disadvantage as the regiment leader. Barry secretly decided to kill the guy who engaged in intelligence after returning.

One last look at the battlefield, Barry closed his eyes and muttered, "This is a massacre."

"No, this is not a massacre, but a battle."

"Who!!" Barry was startled, he didn't expect someone to follow him for such a long time, and he didn't realize it.What is the opponent's strength?

Immediately, Barry's body froze, and he felt something sharp against the side of his neck. As a person with a weak will, Julian easily obtained a lot of information from them.

For example, the young master Abel knew that Catherine had a map and tried to buy it from Catherine, but it was a pity that Catherine was so stupid and bold that he ignored him, which aroused his resentment.The Demon Dragon Mercenary Group was specially hired by him to teach them a lesson.

This kind of storyline is not unfamiliar at all. If Julian is the hero, maybe he will slap these people who come to find fault in the next second.

But Julian never felt that he was the hero of a certain novel, and he didn't want to live every day. If he could, he just wanted to be a salted fish, stay in his own territory with Owen, and live a wonderful life of sleeping until he woke up naturally every day. day.

So Julian wasn't very interested in such a slap in the face, so after he dealt with Barry cleanly, when he returned, the red-robed old man had already dealt with everyone.

The broken limbs all over the floor made Julian feel a little uncomfortable. As a surgeon, when he saw the broken limb, he instinctively wanted to sew it back.
