Watching Lin Xueyin smash the head of a wind wolf that charged at her with a single blow of her staff, Ailiya suddenly felt a faint sadness. After all, who is the real warrior here? Aren't you a priest? You just smashed the wolf's head. Could you be any more violent?
As it turned out, she really dared to do it. Just as the many warriors were being defeated by the wolves and the rain of arrows, Lin Xueyin could not suppress the masculine passion in her heart. With a wave of her hand, she once again unleashed the strongest group skill - Undying Kingdom.
For 10 seconds, your own troops will not die. After the invincibility effect ends, you will receive one minute of damage reduction and healing.
Waving her staff, Lin Xueyin roared and charged into the wolf pack. Ailiya reached out in horror, but couldn't stop the priest who was already caught up in the heat of the moment.
After that, everyone watched as if they had just watched a horror movie, seeing a petite figure displaying her power among the wolves, killing with every shot and blowing heads off with every blow. Seriously, are priests all this violent these days?
"Ugh." The thieves, seeing this completely unexpected presence in their own wolf pack, causing the wolves to explode and flee, suddenly felt that they had encountered a fake priest.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the leader, whose face was covered with a red scarf, secretly rejoiced that he was lucky he hadn't sent anyone to ambush her; otherwise, it would have been even more bloody.
The leader felt a headache coming on at the thought of his men getting blown off their heads by a single blow from the opponent's staff.
"Boss, what do we do? Should we keep firing arrows?"
"Fire arrows? What arrows are you talking about? Didn't you see that all the arrows we fired were blocked by the shield on the other side? Keep firing! Retreat! Retreat now! With a monster like this on the other side, how are we supposed to fight it?"
Helpless, seeing their pack of wolves routed by the enemy, the bandits had no choice but to retreat from the stronghold.
After the last wind wolf was blown off its head by Lin Xueyin, Ailiya and the others were also somewhat horrified as they looked at the girl whose body was covered in scarlet blood. The stench emanating from her body masked her original delicate fragrance.
"Yukine, are you... are you sure you're really human?"
Could it be a magical beast with holy attributes? He was afraid that the other party might suddenly transform into a giant magical beast and appear in front of him.
"Huh? Aria, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up, all you injured people, line up for me. I'll heal your injuries first, and then we can talk about this nonsense."
At this moment, many warriors seemed a bit reserved. Back when the opponent was a mage, the system was different. No matter how powerful he was, he was still very different from a warrior. However, just now, this person, whose profession was called a priest, did something even more warrior-like than a warrior.
For soldiers, respecting the strong seems to be a subconscious thing that has been deeply ingrained in their hearts. So when they faced Lin Xueyin, who had killed an entire wolf pack all by herself, they subconsciously felt respect for her.
"Yukine, don't you want to rest for a bit?"
"Rest? What rest? Didn't you see they've all run away? We should press our advantage and wipe out these bandits in one fell swoop. Let's replenish our supplies and then go after them."
There's still a boss to fight later, so how can we waste time here? Since the enemy is waiting for us with full force, they must have a backup plan. They can't just be scared away so easily, otherwise what kind of bandits would they be?
Looking at the dark and deep cave, Lin Xueyin frowned deeply, feeling that the road ahead would not be so simple.
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny: Chapter 8: The Lone Wolf's Cave (Part 3)
After cleaning up the wolf carcasses, the sight of the stripped-naked wind wolves filled Lin Xueyin's nostrils with the stench of blood, forcing her to suppress her nausea.
Lin Xueyin couldn't help but ask herself how she had managed to smash their wolf heads with a single blow, but she couldn't find any answers she wanted.
"What's wrong, Yukine?"
Noticing that Lin Xueyin's expression was a little off, Ailiya gently patted her back twice to make her feel a little better.
"It's alright, I'm fine." Lin Xueyin gave an unnatural smile as she used healing magic to stabilize the injuries of the surrounding wounded. Fortunately, she was the one who took care of things, which prevented any major casualties.
"Let's go, there are still many enemies waiting for us inside."
With a wave of her arm, Aria re-established their formation and slowly made their way deeper into the cave. Only then could Lin Xueyin carefully observe the large cave, a natural cave surrounded by several man-made wooden frames. It was on those frames that the thieves had attacked the Royal Guards.
Those places are probably where the wind wolves are fed. However, since they can climb so high, it proves that there are some special ladders behind them for people to go up. This cave is far more than what I see now.
"Xueyin, shall we go in?"
"Okay, let's go, but everyone be careful. There are definitely many traps they've set here, so please be extra careful."
A sense of unease lingered in Lin Xueyin's heart. She understood that if she left now, Ailiya and the others would definitely not be willing to accept it, and neither would she herself.
I've finally managed to get into a dungeon, and if I don't manage to squeeze out that thing from the toad, how can I feel at ease? Besides, dungeons for beginners are generally quite simple, so I still have a chance to clear it.
As the main force ventured deeper into the cave, it became increasingly cramped, and some man-made living facilities came into view, indirectly proving that the previous guesses were correct.
"Yukine, be careful. They know you're here, so they'll definitely target you. Don't stray too far from me." Aria nervously scanned her surroundings as she hung the shield she had been carrying on her back on her arm.
"It's not that exaggerated, after all..."
With a crisp "ding," Aria took a step forward, a spark flying from the silver shield on her arm. Her usually composed and pretty face suddenly became unusually solemn.
The arrow, which seemed to have come from nowhere, sent a chill down Lin Xueyin's spine. If it weren't for Ailiya's shield, the arrow would have hit her directly.
Her deep blue eyes were now filled with terror. "Thank you, thank you."
"It's alright. Protecting you is my responsibility. As long as I'm standing, I won't let them hurt you." Aria didn't turn around to look at the girl behind her, but her firm tone reassured Lin Xueyin.
"Yes, don't worry, as long as I'm standing, you won't fall down."
With the same resolute tone, the two girls made a promise to each other. A touch of warmth appeared in the dark cave at that moment.
"Let's continue exploring. The enemy will definitely launch another sneak attack below, so be extra careful, understand?"
"Understood, Captain. Don't worry, we will definitely..." A strange sound drew everyone's attention to a bump in the ground, only to find that no one was there. Instead, a hail of arrows rained down from the other side.
The threat of death suddenly appeared above everyone's heads, but then a golden light appeared overhead, and shields reappeared around them, blocking all the enemy's arrows.
"Tch, child's play."
He glanced disdainfully at the shadowy figures on the cave ceiling, where some hidden artificial fences had been erected, and where the attack had just taken place.
"Captain, let's hurry and chase after them. We can't let them get away."
"Wait." Lin Xueyin stopped the soldiers who were about to run away, frowned, and looked up at the hidden platforms above.
"Yukine, what's wrong? Shouldn't we rush over there now?"
"No, I don't know what's wrong, but I feel a lot of unease. So, Arya, let's not rush and explore deeper into the area little by little."
Staring intently at the somewhat uneasy Lin Xueyin, Ailiya then turned to look at the warriors who were preparing to rush out, and let out a soft breath between her full lips.
"Alright, let's explore slowly. We have enough logistical supplies now, so we'll definitely be able to figure this place out."
Stopped by Lin Xueyin and also by the team leaders, he was unwilling, but he obeyed the orders and stopped walking.
As the warriors advanced cautiously, they gave the surrounding bandits no chance to launch a sneak attack. Soon, they found a group of bandits in another cave. Fully armed, they were no less formidable than the guards of Yorktown.
“You lackeys of the Imperial Army, since you dare to come here, don’t even think about leaving.”
"Hmph, who goes out and who doesn't, it's not up to you to decide." The other party's ferocious face with only one eye did not frighten Aria; instead, it aroused her indomitable fighting spirit.
"Leave two people to protect Xueyin, you all come with me to fight your way through."
Swords and shields clashed, sparks flew, and the two sides were locked in battle. Although they lacked the elite Imperial Guard, their numerical advantage kept the battle at a stalemate, with neither side able to halt the fighting.
Lin Xueyin calmly observed the situation, unleashing healing skills at any time. In the end, due to the increasingly intense battle, Lin Xueyin had no choice but to use her healing prayer.
With Lin Xueyin's constant healing, the Empire's warriors naturally fought with increasing ferocity, while the bandits' morale waned. This was understandable, as anyone would see their wounds healed by the opponent's healing magic before they could even spit out blood after finally managing to land a blow.
On this side, the battle was completely unscathed, while on the other side, they were being cut down one after another.
He realized he couldn't continue, at least not with the young pastor continuing treatment; otherwise, his only outcome would be failure.
The one-eyed, ferocious bandit leader then gave a signal to several bandits hiding nearby. These bandits stealthily crept towards Lin Xueyin's location.
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny - Chapter 9: The Lone Wolf's Cave (Part 4)
At that moment, crimson blood traced a vivid arc as the staff danced, finally splashing onto the ground, where two headless corpses fell straight down.
Lin Xueyin stared blankly at her hands, her pale face particularly pitiful at this moment. However, on the battlefield, who would give their opponent such a moment of distraction?
A dagger gleaming with a cold light pierced the dazed girl once more. The sound of it piercing her skin did not give her any sense of victory. Looking at the short-haired woman's raised sword, she could only let out a shrill scream.
"Ailiya, are you alright?" Seeing that the other woman had shielded her from a fatal blow with her own body, Lin Xueyin frantically tried to treat her, but the other woman's not-so-large hand patted her long hair, which provided some relief.
“I told you, as long as I’m standing, you won’t be in danger.”
"Yes, thank you." At this moment, Lin Xueyin realized what mistake she had just made. On the battlefield, she had actually lost focus and given the enemy such a big opening.
The raised staff emitted a dazzling light, and the holy radiance filled the entire cave. Under this healing spell, many wounded imperial soldiers were slowly restored, and their combat power returned to its previous peak.
"Yukine, you..."
Shocking! This was the first time Aria had encountered a priest like this, capable of healing so many friendly units simultaneously. Just what kind of being was this girl?
On one side, morale soared and they began their final offensive against the enemy. On the other side, the enemy's unscathed battle caused their own morale to plummet. With this shift in momentum, the tide of battle had completely turned in favor of the Imperial Army.
"Damn imperial lackeys, we're retreating..."
"You think you can just leave? You're all set."
Having just been ambushed and injured by Aria, Lin Xueyin felt a surge of resentment that, if not released, would surely cause internal injuries. With a flick of her wrist, the Feather of Heaven continued to slowly descend through the air.
The Imperial warriors increased their movement speed again, blocking the fleeing bandits in front of a small exit. Soon, they slaughtered the bandits, leaving only their former leader.
"You will all die a horrible death..."
Beneath the blood-stained brown trousers, a pair of gray-green boots appeared in his already dazed eyes. He slightly raised his head, looking at the blonde girl looking down at him.
That pretty face was more beautiful than any woman he had ever met. If only he could have caught her, but alas, he was not the victor now.
"I don't know if I'll die a horrible death, but I do know that you're definitely going to die."
The staff, raised high, fell heavily, followed by complete darkness. A sense of mockery lingered in his heart. Did he really think this was the end? This was only the beginning.
With a pale face, she staggered as Aria helped her up. The concerned look in her eyes warmed her heart. A woman's chest, though not broad, was very strong and gave her a rare sense of security.
"Let's go, Yukine."
A violent wolf howl suddenly rang in everyone's ears, followed by a foul stench as a giant, one-eyed wolf stared intently at the uninvited guests with its single, ferocious eye.
"Is that a wind wolf?"
The giant, earth-yellow wolf lacked the lightness of the wind wolves I had seen before; instead, it felt very heavy and lacked the agility a wolf should have.
"That's a level 7 magical beast, the Earth Demon Wolf."
"Huh? A level 7 magical beast, what level is that?" Lin Xueyin looked at the giant wolf baring its teeth at her and was a little slow to react. Wasn't this a bandit's den? How did a giant wolf suddenly appear?
"Lone Wolf Cave, no wonder it's called Lone Wolf Cave. But why did those bandits live here peacefully for so long before?"
Aria led the group to regroup, raise their shields, and place their swords flat on the shields, the gleaming tips of the swords pointing directly at the ferocious giant wolf to one side.
"Xueyin, stay behind us. When we attack, hurry up and come back... Xueyin, come back! That's a level 7 magical beast. Even in these Hundred Thousand Mountains, it can be considered a top-tier magical beast."
"Tch, now you want me to hide in the back and run away? That's the right thing to do." He brandished his wooden staff in a flourish, then took firm steps forward and charged toward the giant wolf.
"In this battle, it's a matter of life and death for them; there is no other choice."
"Yukino, damn it! Everyone, charge! We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Yukino."
