Chapter 39 Gran Forest
"A golden-armored dragon sculpture?"
"Wow! I didn't expect you to be so rich that you even have a Tier 4 battle pet!"
The dwarf Goldbeard was astonished as he looked at the enormous golden eagle before him.
Compared to Tier 1 and 2 battle pets, Tier 3 and above battle pets are very rare, because powerful adult monsters are basically impossible to tame; they can only be trained from a young age.
Alternatively, one could spend a large sum of money to purchase an expensive Tier 4 slave contract.
Slave contracts that allow you to contract with Tier 4 monsters are extremely expensive; only the truly wealthy can afford them.
This is why very few people possess high-level battle pets, and they are usually wizards.
"I'm just riding on my brother's coattails; I've never ridden such a high-level magical beast before."
The monk Luo Yong was equally excited and jumped onto the golden eagle's back in a few steps, which made the golden-armored dragon eagle shake its head in dissatisfaction.
"Be polite. High-level magical beasts are no less intelligent than us."
Yili began to speak.
While speaking, he bowed to the golden eagle before jumping onto its back.
Let's go!
Roland waved his hand, and the golden-armored dragon eagle carried the four people and flew towards the Green Forest.
Do you have a battle plan or strategy?
Roland looked at the three of them and asked.
"What strategy do you need? I'll go up and tank the damage, you guys just focus on dealing damage."
"I'm a shieldbearer! I'm very tanky, just leave it to me."
The dwarf Goldbeard patted his chest and said confidently.
"Golden Beard, don't be reckless. This time is different from the past."
"This is a fourth-tier monster lair, not a low-tier monster lair."
"Even we can get injured or even die if we are careless."
Yili said with a serious and earnest expression.
"That's right."
The monk Luo Yong also put away his joking smile and became equally serious.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"Leave the brain work to you wizards; after all, your brains are better."
The dwarf, Goldenbeard, shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
"Here's my plan."
Elizabeth looked at Roland and said, "Try to clear out the monsters on the periphery before going to find the lord monster. According to some scholars' research, the lord monster has the ability to command monsters."
"Therefore, it's best to kill all the non-lord monsters first, so as to avoid being surrounded."
"Both Jinxu and Luo Yong are melee classes, so clearing out the mobs will be left to me and Roland."
At this point, Elizabeth asked, "Roland, I wonder if you are skilled in large-area attack spells?"
"Don't worry, I have wide-range attack spells."
"Leave the cleanup of the cannon fodder to me."
Roland nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Let's do it this way: first kill all the monsters on the outskirts of the forest, then clear out the monsters inside the forest, and finally the boss monsters."
Yili nodded.
……
call!
Beyond a forest of giant trees, a giant golden eagle landed, stirring up a gust of wind.
"Will there be any consequences if this forest is destroyed?"
Roland looked at the forest before him and asked a question.
"It's alright. This forest is also a monster's lair. Even if you cut down all the trees, they will respawn after a while. Only a god can completely solve this kind of problem."
"If only there weren't monsters, all these trees could provide charcoal for many poor people to get through the winter."
Yili said with great regret, her eyes full of sighs.
"Miss Elizabeth, what motivates you to help others? Is it your belief in the righteousness of the God of Justice?"
Roland looked at Yili and asked curiously.
"To reduce tragedies and bad things."
Elizabeth said, "I don't like to see the poor crying, nor do I want to see their morale drop, especially in winter, when some people will freeze to death because they don't have charcoal to burn."
At this point, Yili's eyes were filled with sadness.
"It's rare to see an elf like you. I've heard that many elves are hostile to humans, but I never expected that there would be an elf who would help humans."
Roland sighed,
"I only hate evil, and I only help the weak and the kind."
Yili spoke calmly.
"Truly admirable!"
After a soft sigh, Roland thought that if the elf was telling the truth, then he truly admired such a person.
"Leave it to me, I can turn this forest into a sea of fire!"
Roland opened his mouth,
"Ice Crystal Fire Rain (Tier 4)!"
Roland unleashed both fists, striking towards the sky.
He unleashed a terrifying chill from his left hand, freezing all the water molecules in the air.
Countless tiny ice crystals fell like raindrops, covering a large area of the forest.
Then, Roland's scorching energy from his right fist ignited the ice crystals.
Countless flames burning with ice crystals landed on the ground, like napalm bombs. These ice crystals were extremely difficult to extinguish and burned anything they touched, even third-tier monsters.
"A huge storm!"
Roland looked at the burning forest and the falling ice crystals, opened his mouth and spat out a terrifying storm, like a typhoon passing through, blowing the burning ice crystals across the entire forest.
Soon, the entire Gran Forest was engulfed in flames, and countless monsters died with mournful cries.
Roland kept seeing a series of prompts, but unfortunately, the monsters that died were all level 123 monsters, which only gave him some spells and could not provide any attribute bonuses.
This scene left the monks and dwarves dumbfounded and utterly shocked.
"What kind of magic is that? It's terrifying!"
"And aren't you a wizard? Why are you casting spells with your fists?"
"And why are you blowing your wind magic out of your mouth? You're not a dragon."
The monk Luo Yong looked at Roland with great curiosity, not understanding how Roland cast his spells.
"Indeed, this is the first time I've seen a wizard cast spells like this."
The dwarf Goldenbeard also looked puzzled.
"It seems your profession is not that of an ordinary wizard. That's impressive."
"If I couldn't tell whether you were a dragon or not, I would have thought you were a dragon in human form."
For the first time, Yili, this usually aloof young woman, showed an expression, looking at Roland with some surprise and astonishment.
"Haha, my profession is a bit unusual, so don't be too surprised."
Roland laughed and said, "Let's wait here for a while. Once the fire stops, we can go in. By then, there should only be some fourth-tier monsters left."
"good!"
The three dwarves, including Goldbeard, nodded.
"To prevent monsters from emerging from the forest, let's go into the air first."
Roland pointed to the sky and then communicated with the Golden Armored Dragon Eagle using his mental power. The Golden Armored Dragon Eagle nodded slightly and flew into the sky, leaving only the raging Gran Forest behind.
……
boom!
When the fire in the Gran Forest was extinguished, Roland descended from the sky riding a golden-armored dragon eagle.
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
Roland spoke, and then put the golden-armored dragon sculpture back into his battle pet space.
"Hey, brother, let me go first. Who lets a wizard go first?"
The dwarf Goldbeard quickly ran to Roland, picked up his shield and axe, and looked at them intently, like a tiger hunting its prey, very vigilant.
"I'll cover the rear, and you two wizards will walk in the middle."
The monk Luo Yong spoke, hanging behind the crowd.
"Don't worry about me. Although I'm a wizard, my melee skills are stronger than those of you warriors."
Roland shook his head and said,
"That's true, but if you do all the work, how can we possibly distribute the equipment?"
The dwarf Goldbeard said,
"You're absolutely right!"
After Yili nodded in agreement, she took out her staff, a silver staff that looked as if it were made of crystal, and was very beautiful.
"Whatever you want!"
Roland shrugged indifferently, picked up the huge dragon bow on his back, looked into the distance, and scanned his surroundings.
Those who didn't know better would think Roland was an archer, not a wizard.
As for the monk Luo Yong, he took out his knuckle duster and put it on his hand; clearly, the knuckle duster was his weapon.
"roar!"
In the distance, a tall minotaur with burn scars appeared, charging fiercely towards Roland and his companions like a heavy truck.

"Be careful, this is the Minotaur's Super Armor Charge. It has a Super Armor effect, so even if you get hit, your action won't be interrupted."
As Yili spoke to remind him, she began chanting incantations, preparing to cast a spell.
The dwarf Goldbeard's muscles began to bulge as he raised his shield, intending to take the charge head-on.
The reason he didn't choose to dodge was because Yili's agility was too low; in the past, he had always taken the hits head-on in such situations.
"Rainstorm Technique!"
Roland drew back the massive bowstring.
boom!
A tremendous bowstring twanged, and though the giant bow was being fired into the air, it unleashed a torrent of raindrops.
When these raindrops flew about 10 meters away, they turned into small dragons.
These little dragons are not the mythical dragons of the East, but the giant dragons of the West, with four legs and two wings, looking somewhat like lizards.
The reason the spell could transform into a dragon was due to the effect of the Dragon Bow, or Dragon Arrow.
After transforming into small dragons, these attacks seemed to gain intelligence, flying even faster and swarming towards the minotaur.
boom!boom!
The charging minotaurs collided with the small dragons.
Almost instantly, the minotaur was swallowed up by the little dragons.
Like a pack of wolves hunting, the minotaur was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, leaving only the hard, extraordinary material behind.
[You have killed a Tier 4 Minotaur Warrior!]
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the fourth-tier spell "Super Armor" from the bloodline of a fourth-tier minotaur warrior.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +0.5! Your Constitution +0.5! Your Agility +0.5!]
"He's dead already?"
The dwarf and the monk stared in disbelief at the bull's head, which had been torn to pieces.
Yili's cold face showed no emotion, but the stopped incantation and the astonishment in her eyes indicated that she was not as calm as she appeared.
"Spells can be used like this?"
"Wait, I recognize the bow and arrows you're holding! It's the Wyvern Bow!"
"I remember this bow was extremely heavy, unusually heavy."
"It requires 20 points of strength to use easily. Even I cannot use this giant bow without wearing equipment."
"Do you have 20 points of strength? Aren't you a wizard?"
The dwarf, Goldenbeard, narrowed his eyes and recognized the equipment in Roland's hand. He spoke in shock, his face full of disbelief.
"What? Equipment that requires 20 points of strength to use?"
The monk Luo Yong gasped, looking at Roland with an expression as if he were looking at a monster.
"Are you really a wizard?"
"Your physique seems no weaker than that of a dragon of the same level!"
Elizabeth dispelled the spell she was about to cast and looked at Roland with disbelief.
"Of course I am a wizard, but I am not an ordinary wizard."
"Alright, everyone, let's keep going."
Roland smiled slightly and strode forward.
As Roland walked forward, he glanced at his attributes and was quite satisfied; he had gained another 0.5 points.

"Roland, you killed this minotaur, so the materials are yours."
"The same goes for these low-level materials on the ground. It's our team's rule: whoever kills the monster keeps it, unless it's killed as a team."
Yi Li pointed to the extraordinary materials on the ground and said this.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Roland raised his hand and put all the extraordinary materials on the road into his spatial ring without any hesitation.
At this moment, his spatial ring had absorbed a large amount of extraordinary materials, and the space was much larger than before, like a small world, capable of holding even a mountain.
Next, a minotaur warrior would appear from time to time, but Roland would shoot them all dead with an arrow.
Unfortunately, they are all the same Tier 4 monsters, offering no attribute bonuses, only Tier 4 spells.
"Roland, the Minotaur Temple is just ahead. The Minotaur King, the lord monster, should be there."
Yili pointed to the dilapidated temple in the distance and said softly.
"Understood, I will be careful."
Roland nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Similarly, the dwarf Goldbeard and the monk Rayon were also on high alert.
After all, this is a lord-level monster.
The group carefully made their way forward and soon came to the temple, where a red-haired minotaur was resting with his eyes closed beneath the temple's gate.
This red-haired minotaur has a thick head of hair, like a lion, wears magnificent armor, and wields a giant axe. He is the lord monster, the king of the minotaurs.

"According to the intelligence I've gathered, the Minotaur King's strength has reached 25 points, which is equivalent to Tier 5."
"So, don't confront him head-on, Roland. Let's use control magic to slow it down first."
Yili said softly,
