Augusto didn't think that monsters could pose a threat to them. He was more inclined to think that some idiots were following them and alarmed the monsters in the forest, or wanted to use this to distract their attention. 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 monsters or groups of monsters would often cause trouble to humans. In places where monsters were densely populated, there were even incidents of monsters attacking human towns. However, during the Seven Towers era when magic flourished, a large number of high-level monsters were hunted and killed as materials for making magic props and alchemy potions.
Facing the threat of the God of Nature, the mages of the Seven Towers obviously had no idea of sustainable development or exploitation of the resources of Warcraft. After their wanton slaughter, many types of Warcraft were killed to extinction, and even dragons were almost extinct.
The few species that remain are often of relatively weak strength and value, but even these species are in a period of transition, with only low- and middle-level populations remaining.
This is why in the era of the Seven Towers, all kinds of powerful holy artifacts and scriptures emerged one after another, but now it is almost impossible to find some suitable materials.
The growth of Warcraft is much slower than that of humans. High-level Warcraft has been in short supply in later generations. Whenever you hear about a high-level Warcraft, it will become the target of competition among various forces. This situation has lasted for many, many years, so the scenes of flying dragons covering the sky and giant beasts everywhere have never appeared on the continent again.
This is strong evidence that humans are the most efficient predators in any world.
Sure enough, when Augusto climbed up the hill and looked forward, he saw only seven or eight wolves chasing a wild boar. Coincidentally, the wild boar was rushing towards where they were resting.
"Sir, this is a snack for us." Wood said, rubbing his hands, "Let's go kill the wild boar and the wolf!"
Augusto didn't see anything wrong and nodded, "Go ahead."
Wood and three other assassins from the Shadow Group each drew their daggers or daggers and leaped towards the wild boars and wolves as fast as the wind.
They were just a few weak beasts, both Wood and Augusto thought so.
However, when the wild boar came 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 excellent 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 a person crawling on the ground, not a pig running.
He looked at the wolves behind him and saw that they were doing the same thing. 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 towards Wood's neck.
Wood looked back in panic and jumped back with force on his feet, but just as his throat was about to avoid the attack, the black blade suddenly lengthened several inches and cut deeply through his neck, cutting off most of his head and neck.
Wood's blood sprayed in the air, he covered his neck, but it was too late. Blood oozes out from his fingertips uncontrollably, he falls to the ground, no longer able to stand up.
Two nearby warriors rushed towards 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 definitely not be able to predict such a situation and would be killed by the two men in mid-air. However, the wild boar actually turned around in the air and barely avoided the two men's attacks.
At this time, the wolves behind also arrived. All the wolves had black air currents coming out of their bodies like wild boars, and then they were 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 weakening magic.
Although many Warcraft have spell-like abilities, most of them are simple and crude elemental damage or self-enhancement effects. This kind of weak magic that requires a complex structure cannot be released by ordinary Warcraft.
All the warriors felt their bodies sink and their movements became more labored. At this moment, the wolves in front of them had already approached them and began to attack them with their claws filled with negative energy.
The warriors' previous experience in fighting wolves was completely ineffective here, because no wolves tried to bite them with their mouths. Instead, they dodged and attacked like masters of combat skills, as if they couldn't wait to stand up and fight them.
The wolf mage stood still and cast a second deceleration spell. A warrior was about to avoid the claws of a wolf, but this spell slowed his retreat and the wolf's claws pierced his heart.
The other warriors were also made worse by the accumulation of negative magic and were about to fall one by one at the hands of these wolves and pigs.
Fortunately, 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 a human-shaped shadow appear from the wild boar's body. Because it was caught by his sword, it let out a sharp whistle and dissipated in the air.
"These are undead! They are controlled by people, don't treat them as monsters!" Augusto roared and swung his sword at the nearest wolf. The wolves seemed to have discovered how powerful he was and no longer wanted to fight and fled in all directions.
Augusto's second sword energy failed to hit the wolf, and it dodged it with the help of a big tree. However, the master's sword energy was not that simple. The sword light split into two in the air, bypassing the tree on the left and right, and cut the wolf's body into three parts 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 manipulating everything behind the scenes. Augusto weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a moment and decided to track this shadow to find out who is behind this.
Augusto said to the two remaining warriors, "You go back first and keep everyone else alert."
He shot out like lightning and chased after the dark shadow.
