The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 770

Black Rob is searching deep in the Withered Forest for the startled and lost giant Los Beast, Fur.

In the end, they still encountered the Nest-level Evil Wolf.

This guy is incredibly intelligent and has a strong desire for revenge; he's clearly targeting him specifically.

It was also very imposing, unleashing its Wild Charge skill, like a heavy tank driving at the speed of a sports car, sweeping away everything in its path and carving a path through the dense forest.

Black Robb, however, was not swayed by their actions. He adopted a close-combat strategy, calmly donned his armor, and swung the Dragon Head Spear like a greatsword with one hand, instantly generating two golden earth elemental light blades that killed the two evil wolves that tried to flank him.

These two evil wolves were different from the ones we encountered first. Not only were they larger, but their skulls were also translucent and crystal clear, like self-luminous gemstones. However, the light they emitted was a poisonous green, giving them a strong sense of radiation.

Black Rob temporarily named them Fel Wolves.

Previously, when he was leaping among the giant trees, he was a fel wolf. After the reunion, he empowered the fel wolf with more fel energy, allowing it to transform into a flying wolf-headed fireball billowing with black smoke.

Therefore, Blackrobo views him as a warlock among this group of mutated dire wolves, positioning him as a core member and leader.

In the past, the head of the Fel Wolf would most likely apply just the right amount of pressure and deliberately hold back to maximize its potential and emotional value (such as the red-warm state) in order to improve the absorption and utilization effect, before finally killing it when the time was right.

But people wouldn't do that now.

The most important thing is to resolve the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible, bring Momo to Stanton, and then leave this strange place to avoid any unforeseen complications.

To be so concerned about the cost-effectiveness ratio is like risking losing a watermelon for a sesame seed.

Therefore, he immediately cracked the tactic of the hive-level fel giant wolf using its own momentum to advance and cover the fel wolf's flanking maneuver.

Sure enough, with the two fel wolves dying cleanly before they could even play a role, a tight encirclement had been formed, but the distance was still quite far. Even with Lota's dark vision, he could only see the fel wolves in the shadows between the giant trees in the distance, their eyes gleaming with eerie fire, and his movements became hesitant.

No one understands the dark-themed framework of control better than Black Robb.

To achieve complete control, significant investment must be made in maintaining power.

Take the mutated skeleton wolf pack in front of us as an example. If there are no 'node'-like skeletons, it's like the human body without branches and nerves. The brain's nerve signals cannot be efficiently transmitted to the nerve endings.

Of course, the problem with the wolf pack goes far beyond the efficient transmission of commands. In a dark organization where every individual is practically a traitor, intimidation and deterrence are indispensable.

Although the relationship between the den wolves and the cannon fodder wolves is not as exaggerated as "the lord's lord is not my lord", as long as there are loopholes in supervision, don't blame the cannon fodder wolves for shirking their duties, not putting in any effort, or simply giving up.

After all, the beast-like command skills were too crude. The order to send cannon fodder to their deaths was too blunt and lacked necessary preparation. Anyone with a survival instinct would hesitate at an order that meant certain death.

Not to mention that negative energy transformation does not mean the loss of intelligence, but rather the addition of a 'mad state'.

However, this state of madness is expressed differently depending on the specific negative energy attribute. For example, the stress conditions for the destruction type, death type, filth type, and pure dark type are different.

The death-type's stress response is more pronounced than the life-type's. For example, if a nature-type priest uses a healing spell in front of them, the death-type will most likely go berserk.

Pure dark beings, on the other hand, require the stimulation of holy light to be fully enraged; otherwise, they are often intelligent enough to be even more so than their pre-darkness stereotype.

As a dark master who is well-versed in the ways of the world, Black Rob naturally knows how to use the 'madness state' switch.

At this moment, it is in a non-triggered state, which is equivalent to stripping the wings of the nest-level evil giant wolf and playing a one-on-one duel similar to fighting the alpha wolf.

Seeing this, the giant wolf was not intimidated. After a slight pause, it launched another devastating attack, relying heavily on its momentum.

Black Rob snorted coldly, remaining unmoved, but a magical array of light appeared beneath his feet. One layer, two layers, three layers, an intricate array was drawn out, one ring after another, clearly defined, each flowing in its own direction, fully demonstrating the powerful nature of his divine soul.

It's as if three workstation-level computers are building the model simultaneously, making it both efficient and accurate.

But the giant wolf was not afraid of this, or rather, it was very confident in its own strength and knew what the difference in size and weight between them meant.

A stationary soldier, no matter how cunning, will be at a disadvantage when facing a rapidly moving tank head-on.

Of course, if Lota were to truly exude the aura of a legendary or even higher rank, this battle would never have occurred, and the evil giant wolf would have fled as far away as possible.

It was precisely because the evil giant wolf perceived that even though the gray orc Lota was strong, he was still within a certain threshold that it launched the hunting war. If it won, it would devour souls; if it lost, to be honest, it had never considered that it would lose.

The most elegant way to live is under the rules. Even if you can't win, you can still walk away. Since you can walk away, how can you be considered to have lost?
After rushing to a near-position, the giant wolf accelerated again, charging in a furious rage! It left a long, glowing shadow like a comet's tail as it crashed into the wolf.

As a result, Black Rob simply dodged and hid behind a giant tree not far away that required four people to hug.

Come on! Go ahead and break it!
Just because it's huge, it thinks it can just charge around? Does it even have the talent for that?
If you dare to use combat skills without any talent to back them up, then don't blame yourself for being severely humiliated!

The giant wolf did indeed suffer a setback.

Even if it breaks the tree at any cost, it will inevitably suffer a heavy blow from its opponent who is well-prepared.

Therefore, it ultimately chose to squander this powerful charge that it had been building up momentum for.

It also paid close attention to detail, not taking the route from the side where Black Rob was standing, but instead changing course and choosing the other side of the tree.

Furthermore, when passing by the giant tree, it leaps and strikes the tree.

If Black Rob doesn't make a move, that's fine; at worst, he'll just leave deep claw marks on the giant tree.

If Black Robb were to try to ambush it from behind a tree, this attack would teach it what it means to run right into the claws.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of cracking wood rang out, large pieces of bark peeled off, accompanied by a spray of wood chips. Not only were deep claw marks left on the tree, but a large chunk was also ripped out as if it had been exploded.

Black Rob did not make a move.

The giant wolf thought it could smoothly enter the second round.

As for the light blade that Black Robb used to kill the Fel Wolves, it was not afraid of it. It was currently enveloped in a high-energy shield that could weaken energy attacks, and its own fur provided an extraordinary layer of protection.

Furthermore, it did not sense any overflow of high-energy gathering or any ominous accumulation of supernatural forces that would terrify it.

In reality, Black Rob did everything he wanted to do, but he accomplished it through an elemental magic circle outlined by light.

Five thousand years ago, the elemental array he set up caused tens of thousands of twisted monsters to perish. Although it is now a clone with a limited upper limit, the skill bonuses are still there, and the soul state is even better than before.

Even though the giant wolf had a sudden premonition and was large but not rigid, and its movements were quite agile, it was still shattered by this sword strike, its protective aura collapsed, and a deep wound that exposed bone was left on its right hind leg near its buttocks.

It tumbled out in a sorry state, and as it rolled, it saw the enemy's new state.

Armor over armor!
Of course, this is the perception of an evil giant wolf. A more accurate description would be a heavy powered armor suit plus a specialized mech.

To put it simply, it's like a heavily armed Master Chief from Star Ring piloting a Gundam. However, this Gundam is wearable and less than ten meters tall, so in the Gundam family, it can only sit at the children's table.

However, this does not mean that it is not powerful enough. The Dragon Head Spear has now transformed into the spine of a greatsword of light. It is this greatsword with a crystalline earth element blade that has wounded the evil giant wolf with a single strike.

Black Robb would naturally not give up the opportunity to relentlessly pursue the attack, however, the evil giant wolf adjusted its condition faster than he expected, and could even suppress its injuries in exchange for timely and swift reactions.

It lunged forward with both claws, biting and biting again.

The giant wolf relied on its three-pronged offensive strategy to launch a counterattack while trying to weather its weakened state.

Its three-hit combo is quite powerful, all delivering high-energy effects. Moreover, it doesn't rely on its own body to attack, but rather, like a light blade, it's an energy attack that leaves the body. However, the attack range is relatively short, making it a close-range strike.

Black Robo's response was to roll forward to dodge.

The key to this maneuver is not how to make the giant wolf move like a rabbit, but how to use this action to avoid the triple attack while rolling behind the giant wolf.

This naturally involves spatial manipulation techniques, such as twisting and stretching to deform space, which is why it seems unbelievable that the giant wolf could pass by so perfectly.

The giant wolf hurriedly raised its hind leg to kick, a movement similar to the hind leg kick commonly used by mules and horses, but with far greater power.

However, the opponent was no ordinary opponent, and at this point, the disadvantage of his previously injured hind leg became apparent.

Black Robo, riding a stone giant, didn't even turn his head. He simply swung his sword after the roll, successfully deflecting the weaker kick from the evil giant wolf.

Then, he twisted and spun around, unleashing a powerful, round-swinging two-handed slash.

Sensing the terror of the slash, the giant wolf lunged forward.

However, it still couldn't completely dodge the attack. Its injured right leg was severed along the previous wound, leaving only a thin layer of flesh and fur attached.

The giant wolf let out a mournful howl, not only out of pain and anger, but also as a form of attack.

'Crack!' Three bolts of evil lightning struck in quick succession.

The stone giant nimbly twisted and turned, engaging in a thrilling three-part close-quarters dance with the fel lightning.

Although not directly hit, it was grazed, and the stone giant was covered in charred and cracked fel energy.

This was due to Hei Luobo's exceptional skill and daring; he had noticed long ago that the Evil Giant Wolf had been gathering momentum from the very beginning, with an unusual flow of energy above its head.

Subterranean creatures are less adept at looking up at the sky than surface creatures, mainly because the ceilings of most caves and tunnels are clearly visible, so there is no need to specifically look up. Over time, this becomes a habit, and without conscious effort to correct it, the loophole of neglecting to look up will emerge.

Black Rob did not have this problem, especially with his sensory scanning, which was 360 degrees without blind spots and could detect everything in all directions. No one could make him make such a low-level mistake.

So he deliberately used a counter-strategy, and that's exactly what he did at that moment.

The seemingly dangerous dodge and close-range attack still provides an opportunity to follow up with a series of strikes.

No fancy special moves are needed; just like top-quality ingredients don't require excessive cooking, basic attacks are sufficient. It relies on the Stone Giant's inherent attributes and abilities.

Two more sword strikes landed on the spine of the giant wolf.

During this time, it also endured a powerful tail sweep attack from the evil giant wolf.

Now that its spine is basically broken, it can no longer unleash a powerful sweeping attack.

The giant wolf was also fighting desperately, even turning its head to bite fiercely in an attempt to block the stone giant's third sweeping sword strike.

Little did he know that this sword strike was a deliberate, weak move by Black Rob, a display of greed for the blade but exhaustion, all to exploit the giant wolf's eagerness to break free and relentlessly attack him, thus causing it to make a foolish move.

And that's how it succeeded, isn't it?
With a sudden surge of power, the third strike of his basic attack became several times faster and more powerful. The sword light flashed and swept directly through the gaping maw of the giant wolf, severing half of its head.

The evil giant wolf died before even finishing its turn!

With the death of the giant evil wolf, the remaining evil wolves immediately scattered, thus ending this phase of the battle.

Black Rob, as was his habit, scavenged corpses. As a result, in addition to selecting some organs that could be converted into rare resources and absorbing a considerable amount of purification energy, he also discovered a special artifact.

Artifact fragments.

Black Rob has reason to believe that it was this artifact fragment that caused the Bone-Faced Dire Wolf to mutate into the Evil Wolf, and through the traditional law of the jungle, it became the Evil Giant Wolf.

The most interesting part is that this artifact fragment seems to have been deliberately placed there. Black Robb discerned from its location and its state of coexistence with flesh and blood that it represented a sophisticated combination of surgery and magical ritual.

It seems that forbidden experiments are just as tempting in any world.

Black Robb could accept that behind Ego's so-called idea of ​​gathering talent to build a city-state, there was another underlying logic at play.

After all, the money has been secured.

So he collected the artifact fragments, took Momo by the hand, and reunited with Stanton.

Then we hitched up our vehicles and left the Withered Forest.

In the Withered Forest, there are naturally more threats than just evil wolves. However, the recently dead giant evil wolf can attract some creatures that prefer blood.

After slaying the evil giant wolf, he would have a kind of buff-like deterrent effect on him for a period of time, so even though he walked through the night, he did not encounter any harassment or obstruction.

It was already the morning of the next day when they arrived at the rendezvous point designated by Igor. Igor readily settled his payment and was even more surprised by Black Rob's act of selling him the artifact fragments.

"I like simple projects and I hate projects that require deep operation and a lot of luck to monetize, even if the success will bring huge profits."

"Live in the moment, don't be bothered by long-term dreams. Good mindset!" Igor praised, then provided information about the second target.

The target of this search is a tailor.

Black Robb figured it out; Igor was planning to assemble a complete support team for adventurers.

Weapons and equipment, cloaks and robes, potions and accessories all require professional-level care, thus necessitating specialists in these areas.

Okay, no need to overthink it, just use this superficial reason to complete the contract.

As for why the tailor was in a certain abandoned dungeon, why Ego had such a clear grasp of the other party's location, and what the artifact fragments were ultimately involved in, I won't dwell on any of that. My main focus is on someone who doesn't actively seek trouble, but isn't afraid of trouble coming to them.
