Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 41: The Magic Pond
"stop!"
Seeing that the magic pond was still several hundred meters away, Levi still thought he was very safe under the cover of trees, but he didn't expect a group of bearded bandits holding machetes to jump out of the woods.
Sam, who was in charge of scouting, suddenly felt uneasy. He had been very careful, but he still couldn't find these hidden enemies.
Levi had no time to blame him. In fact, this was not the first time Sam missed a monster.
Although the Halfling is naturally suitable for professions such as thieves, he is only a level 1 elite after all, and his strength is ultimately limited. He can handle goblins and ogres with relative ease, but his success rate cannot be guaranteed against stronger monsters.
After a quick glance, he realized that although the number of the opponents seemed large at first glance, they were actually not particularly strong.
Among them, those holding broadswords and long swords are level 1 robbers and bandits, totaling fifteen or sixteen. There are about thirty level 0 thieves and gangsters, and the remaining few holding knives and crossbows are all thieves like Sam.
His previous exchanges with other human God-chosen heroes allowed him to be 100% sure of the identities and strengths of these arms. After all, they were all very common, primary arms.
However, this level of strength might be extremely challenging for ordinary God-chosen heroes at this stage. They might not be qualified enough to occupy this magic pond, right?
So out of caution, he was a little polite. After all, the opponent was not like other foreign monsters who came up and shouted for fighting and killing.
"I am Levi, the chosen hero of Maple Leaf Village. I want to go to the pond in front to fish. If you can make way, I will be very grateful."
He didn't know how much the other party knew about the effects of the magic pond, so he didn't mind playing a little trick.
Hearing what Levi said, a bearded man wearing leather armor, who seemed to be better equipped than his ragged companions, instantly perked up.
He took a few quick steps forward two meters, and swung his sword in the air a few times with great authority: "Hehe, this pond was dug by me, and this water was filled by me. If you want to fish here, you have to pay the fishing fee first!"
Donna next to her couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect it to sound so smooth. She didn't know how much time it took the robber to come up with these dozens of words.
But it was obvious that they did not seem to understand the true meaning and value of the magic pond.
While quietly gesturing to Donna and the others, Levi continued to talk with a smile: "Oh, then I wonder how much it will cost me?"
The bearded robber snorted coldly: "You are smart, don't try to be clever. If you don't pay, I will kill you all."
Then he frowned and began to count on his fingers very seriously: "According to 5 silver coins per person, you have 1, 2, 3 in total..."
My goodness! As soon as Levi saw this situation, he knew that it would take at least three to five minutes for this bearded man to figure out how much money to charge.
If he has such a hard time just counting, won't he have even more trouble when it comes to multiplication? I don't have that much free time to waste on him!
Let’s start the battle right away. It’s a good time to try out the new magic you just learned!
"Summon a monster!"
As the light flickered, a giant lizard that was more than one meter tall, more than three meters long, looked a little thin, and walked upright appeared in front of everyone.
Its bright yellow vertical pupils were full of cruelty and bloodthirstiness, but the most eye-catching thing was its exceptionally strong forelimbs. Each claw was as sharp as a sickle, and no one would doubt their destructive power after seeing them.
Even though he didn't make any movement and just glanced a few times, the bearded robber who had just been counting loudly felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, and he even took two steps back involuntarily.
"You, are you a druid or a mage?"
Even Donna, who was about to take the opportunity to attack, couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that I would see Deinonychus again here."
That’s right, Levi’s luck was very good. He won by coincidence the first time he used this magic and directly summoned a level 2 Deinonychus!
Levi waved his hand, signaling his men to attack: "It doesn't matter what I am. Since you won't give way, we can only move forward over your corpses!"
Donna chuckled and took the lead in using her best three-arrow attack. The other half-elves followed suit and knocked down several bandits in the blink of an eye.
However, the bandit leader who was the main target was unexpectedly resistant. Although he failed to block a single arrow with his sword that he was waving around, the damage caused by Donna's arrows on his body was not high, basically less than 15 points. This is not the defense that an ordinary level 1 soldier can have.
But it doesn’t matter, let Deinonychus try his strength again!
Without words, through the unique mental communication between the summoned creature and the Deinonychus, it received the order immediately. It did not make any unnecessary movements and just trotted straight towards the bearded man.
Of the same size, Deinonychus is one of the most lethal dinosaurs!
Seeing its speed, the bearded bandit was suddenly startled. He roared on the spot, and then his whole body grew larger as if it were inflated. The bulging muscles on his body even made his leather armor creak, as if it would break at any time.
Levi's eyes immediately focused. This was definitely not an ability that an ordinary robber could possess!
Zhou Miyin, who had just launched a charge and was preparing to attack together, couldn't help but shout, "It's the barbarians!"
The bearded bandit laughed loudly, and tore his leather armor into pieces like a rag and threw them to the ground: "Haha, yes, I am a real barbarian!"
Donna next to him couldn't help but snorted coldly and drew her bow again: "So what if they are barbarians? They are just some brainless idiots!"
She seemed to have some special prejudice against barbarians.
But the bearded man's mood didn't seem to be affected by this. He laughed again. Just when Levi thought he was going to rush over to fight with him and others, he turned around and retreated. He gathered strength in his legs and jumped five or six meters away.
Then, as a series of "plop plop" sounds gradually faded away, everyone knew that this guy had simply run away!
Levi, who originally had a slightly solemn expression, suddenly laughed. He also shouted loudly in the distance: "Haha, interesting, I am the God-chosen hero of Maple Leaf Village, Mage Levi, may I know your name?"
The jumping sound in the distance paused for a moment, and then the rough voice of the bearded man sounded again: "I am a follower of the Snake Worship Cult. If you offend us, you will die!"
