Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"It looks like it's not far from us; these marks are all very fresh."

Gordon stood up as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Kuru's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.

"Master, Kuru thinks we should call more people over."

The ferocious mountain bear is extremely dangerous; it can turn a kuru into a meat patty with a single swipe.

Gordon, clad in full knight's armor, turned and glanced at the kobold, saying mockingly:

"Didn't you claim to be a great wizard? Aren't you going to protect me?"

Kuru's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately straightened his chest.

"Brave Kuru will always protect his master!"

"Okay, then lead the way."

"..."

Kuru opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only walk forward along the tracks on the ground with a long face and a dejected look on his face.

This time, however, it was noticeably more cautious than before. Every so often, it would lie down and sniff the surrounding air.

"I suggest you don't try to stall for time so I miss this ferocious mountain bear."

However, at that moment, Gordon's cold voice suddenly came from behind.

Kuru's body trembled instantly, and a sense of despair filled his heart.

At this moment, he missed his warm little home deep inside the mixed crystal mine.

  

It couldn't understand why its fate was so tragic.

According to the original plan, it was supposed to become a great wizard by relying on the wizard's notebook it found.

He then subdued several kobold tribes and enjoyed being a chieftain.

But now...

Kuru turned his head and glanced at the tall figure walking towards him, then sighed deeply in his heart, got up and continued walking deeper into the forest.

However, before Kuru could walk far, it suddenly stopped and then crouched down alertly.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Gordon seemed to realize something as well, so he squatted down and asked.

Since the target is a magical beast with extraordinary bloodline, such creatures are usually quite sensitive to magical fluctuations, making it unsuitable to use spells like Beast Taming to track them.

Therefore, Gordon can only rely on the tracking ability of the kobold Kru at this moment.

"It's a stone-horned deer."

The kobold lay on the ground, then picked up a few gray hairs stained with blood and sniffed them carefully.

"Stone-horned deer? Not a ferocious mountain bear."

"No, there's also the smell of bears here."

I guess the ferocious mountain bear caught a stone deer and then dragged its prey forward.

As he spoke, Kuru stretched out his claws and pointed to the somewhat discontinuous bloodstains not far away.

Upon hearing this, Gordon looked in the direction it was pointing and indeed saw some bloodstains and obvious drag marks.

Clearly, judging from the current situation, the target I'm looking for should be right ahead.

With that in mind, Gordon didn't delay any longer and immediately quickened his pace.

"Wait!"

Kuru's anxious voice came from behind:

"Master, I still think we should be more careful."

Stonehorn Deer are common magical beasts in the Misty Forest. They are very large, usually two to three meters tall, and are naturally irritable.

Kuru could hardly imagine how terrifying a creature could be to eat a stone-horned deer…

However, Gordon ignored it and continued walking forward on his own.

Left with no other choice, Kuru could only clutch the staff, which resembled a tree branch, tightly in his arms and obediently follow behind.

The two continued walking for a while, and as they closed the distance, the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

Soon, a sickening chewing sound came from not far away.

"Click..."

"Click..."

Now, the kobolds truly felt fear.

After all, it no longer has a large number of corpses to manipulate, and therefore has lost most of its defensive means.

"Master..." The kobold's voice trembled slightly, his upper and lower teeth chattering incessantly, "It seems to be just ahead."

Compared to the kobolds, Gordon appeared much calmer.

After all, his cultivation level has now recovered to the third level of Qi Refining.

With the added benefits of the Heavenly Dao Book Pavilion and a full set of magical artifacts, his overall strength actually surpasses that of an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice.

Even if a third-level wizard apprentice stood in front of him, he would definitely have a fighting chance.

Moreover, according to the wizard's notes, although the Berserk Mountain Bear was a supernatural creature, its rank was not high.

Not to mention it, even three or four high-ranking extraordinary knights could easily hunt it down.

This is why Gordon dared to set off with only Kuru.

After all, he doesn't want anyone to know about his research on extraordinary bloodlines for the time being.

"Quiet down, don't talk," Gordon hissed in a low voice.

Then, ignoring the trembling Kulu beside him, he waved his hand and cast a "Lightness Spell" on himself to reduce the noise his armor made when walking.

As they drew closer, the sickening chewing sound grew clearer and clearer.

After Gordon led the kobolds through several bushes that were half a person tall.

An open space came into their view.

In the center of the open space, a huge black shadow lay on the ground, beneath which lay a stone-horned deer that had been torn to pieces.

"Oh my God!"

Kuru poked its head out from behind Gordon, and when it saw the scene before it, it couldn't help but gasp.

The stone-horned deer is already quite large.

At this moment, the head of the stone-horned deer had been completely bitten off and left aside.

A pair of dark eyes stared at Gordon and Kuru.

Large amounts of blood flowed down the ground, staining the surrounding leaves and grass red.

The kobold swallowed hard.

A glance at the enormous figure not far away filled him with a sense of dread.

Even by visual estimation alone, this figure is probably four or five meters long.

Because of its enormous size, almost all of its body is obscured by trees and bushes, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

"This thing is way too big!" Kuru said in a trembling voice.

"Master, are we really not going back?"

Gordon did not answer, but instead slowly placed his hand on the longsword at his waist.

Compared to the kobolds' shock, Gordon was more confused.

According to the notes, while the ferocious mountain bear was indeed large, it was definitely not this big...

Could this be some kind of mutant?

Gordon pondered to himself.

However, at that moment, the enormous figure suddenly stopped chewing.

The surroundings fell silent, save for the low, labored breathing that sounded like a broken bellows, and the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.

"clatter……"

"clatter……"

"clatter……"

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Gordon and the kobold Kru, the huge figure suddenly turned around.

As it turned its body, what was revealed was a huge, thick, black tail covered with hard, sharp spikes!
