Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Richard stood up and looked ahead. He saw the entire desert sink and formed a wide valley.
Pronouncedly, the collapse just now had caused great damage.
Fortunately, this was a desert. It didn’t matter even if it pierced through the sky.
After Richard led the troop out of depression from the sunken desert area, he saw Gray beside him, and his mood improved again.
Although he had encountered such a thrilling scene today, his gains were also heaven-defying.
First of all, the Poisonous Scorpion Warriors and the Axe of the Dead had both been promoted to level 6. This activated the additional characteristics of an elite soldier that greatly increased their strength.
Secondly, under the prompt of the Black Gold System, Richard had obtained a superb helper hero—Gray, the cursed mage.
The attributes of an A-rank hero could only be described as amazing. Just this hero alone had earned him ten or a hundred times more from this expedition.
In a delighted emotional state, Richard immediately returned to Twilight City with his troop.
The desert at night was not a safe place.
Richard was not interested in taking the risk of scanning the map at night. He followed the system map and proceeded forward.
However, Richard felt that something was not right after he had walked for less than ten minutes.
“Alert!”
When his voice fell, the surroundings became silent.
It seemed his caution was superfluous.
But Richard still did not relax at all. His eyes were as sharp as the falcon. In less than a minute, rustles incessantly sounded.
The sound of footsteps was gradually heard from a dune.
In a moment, pairs of green eyes appeared from the darkness.
Wild wolves about the size of bison could be seen under the moonlight.
However, these wolves were different from the desert wolves that Richard had met before.
Their auras were countless times stronger, and their appearance was extremely hostile. Richard’s troops felt a strong sense of oppression as the unknown enemies watched.

[Description: A predator roaming in the desert.]
Richard could not help but squint his eyes after he looked at the other party’s attributes.
[Level 5, Rare 1-star…]
And there were as many as three teams.
This was going to be troublesome.
If he hadn’t used his Sand Transformation just now, he was starkly confident that these wild wolves could have devoured him.
However, his strongest life-saving skill had already been used when he tried to avoid the collapse of the tunnel.
His Sand Transformation cooldown was one hour, while his troop’s cooldown was two hours.
It was simply impossible to wait for the cooldown of his skill to refresh.
Moreover, the terrain here was vast. He couldn’t make use of the terrain to fight.
“Prepare for battle. The Poisonous Scorpion Warrior will hold the front line. The Axe of the Dead will act as the main force of the hunt!”
“Gray, prepare to cast a spell. Control these desert wargs!”
Richard looked at Gray, and its gaze became serious.
At the same time, the Scorpion Warrior had set up a defensive formation.
“Awoooo!”
The howls of the wild wargs on the dunes spread far and wide in the vast desert.
The horn of attack.
The three teams of wargs were like wild beasts that came out of their cages. In the blink of an eye, their speed soared to the maximum and left a few afterimages in the air.
‘Tata! Tata!’
The sound of footsteps rustled on the sand.
Those green eyes under the moonlight made people feel a chill down their spine.
The scorpion warrior opened its huge pincers, and its poisonous tail glowed a faint blue light.
The undead soldier gripped the tomahawk, and within the ox horn helmet, the flames of the soul in those hollow eyes flickered.
In just a few breaths, those wild wargs charged at lightning speed and had arrived in front of them.
Richard could even clearly see the needle-like fur on the enemies’ bodies.
The troops were in great disbelief.
Just as the two sides were about to collide, an obscure incantation was chanted while on Richard’s side.
Gray suddenly pointed forward, and a dim light flashed.
The desert wargs charged at high speed and rumbled. A hammer seemed to have hit the spirit sea and their ears buzzed.
They instantly lost control of their bodies, and the strong inertia brought about by their high-speed movement caused them to directly pounce on the ground.
The combat rage sizzled.
The desert wargs fell to the ground and left marks of long scratches on the ground.
[Cursed Words (B-rank) — Enemies within a 10 * 10-meter area will fall into a state of confusion. Movement will be suspended for 5 seconds. Cooldown Time: 2 minutes. Consumes 50 mana points.]
The desert wargs in front were all forcefully controlled. Those at the back saw this and jumped up hurriedly and directly crossed their companions on the ground.
The combat rage continued to sizzle.
A desert warg landed on the ground again. It opened its bloody mouth that could tear thick armor and slaughtered the scorpion warrior.
At this moment, a dark light flashed once again.
The aura of the desert wargs that rushed in front of the scorpion warriors instantly became chaotic. The light in their eyes was dazed and scattered. They lost control of their bodies once again.
[Curse Mage (A-rank) — The power of the curse cast will be increased by 70%. Moreover, it can consume doubled magic power and directly cast the skills that are on cooldown.]
Gray stood in place and directly pressed to the ground these rarely seen troops that moved like the wind as punishment.
The moment the enemy was controlled, the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior and the Axe of the dead exploded with their most ferocious attacks.
The scorpion’s iron pincers waved and directly clamped the desert warg’s neck as it leave several afterimages. The scorpion warrior further exerted a violent force but the wild warg was in a tremendous state of confusion and did not respond at all.
‘Puchi!’
A huge warg’s head directly fell onto the ground, and blood splattered all over its body.
‘Huhu!’
The tomahawk whistled, and with a crack, it severed the warg’s body. A crisp sound of branches breaking rang out when the tomahawk slashed the bones.
The wild desert warg’s strength lay in its terrifying speed and powerful attack that could easily tear steel apart.
However, Gray forcefully suppressed these two aspects.
“Roar!”
The rich smell of blood crazily stimulated the desert warg’s nerves. The first batch of desert wargs that fell to the ground suddenly raised their heads.
They immediately burned with anger when they saw their companions beside them in a miserable state. The muscles on their bodies were like spring treasures pressed down to the extreme and violently exploded.
No enemy could imagine what kind of terrifying attack it would encounter once the desert warg got close to them.
‘Boom!’
But just as the desert warg was about to launch, the hammer in its mind exploded once again.
Its body stiffened on the spot.
Five thousand mana points were enough for Gray to forcefully cast curse words five times.
Before the magic power was completely consumed, these rare-level powerful lifeforms could not even think about moving.
