After nearly two hours of traveling on the Frozen Tundra, the howling cold wind finally stopped.
However, in the blink of an eye, there was a burst of lightning and thunder.
The Hunting Recorder's network signal was also severely disrupted, intermittent at best.
Fang Zhou looked at the recorder in his hand, which was about to lose its network connection, and shook his head slightly.
It seems the instructors were right after all.
Once you enter certain energy-disordered magnetic fields, these high-tech communication tools become useless.
This has been one of the greatest disadvantages for humanity since the Era of Myth.
Many traditional technological methods have become unreliable.
Now, Fang Zhou was just in a small beginner's cave, and his most advanced Hunting Recorder was already malfunctioning like this.
One could imagine, if it were on a Mythical World battlefield with Legendary powerhouses hurling major attacks at each other, such communication equipment would certainly become nothing more than scrap metal.
Boom!
The thunderstorm raged on, and soon a torrential downpour followed, turning the whole desert into a vast region of water.
Fang Zhou was already accustomed to the eerie and ever-changing climate in the Cave.
After putting on a windbreaker, he braved the heavy rain and continued forward.
After walking for about another hour, amidst the thunderstorm, the Hunting Recorder completely lost its signal.
By now it was dusk, and the glow of the Magic Energy Moss grew dimmer in the rain.
The visibility was really too limited, and to avoid unexpectedly encountering a demon, Fang Zhou couldn't help but slow his marching speed considerably.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, not far ahead of Fang Zhou, a colorful flare soared into the sky, shining brightly in mid-air.
He was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized.
This is an SOS flare!
A student nearby is calling for help!
Fang Zhou instantly became alert.
Although his strength was much greater than that of an average student, the Cave was filled with demons.
Who knows what kind of enemy the student up ahead is facing?
One must not be careless!
Of course, as fellow military academy students, if someone can be saved, they should be saved.
In a normal environment, with the Hunting Recorder to locate, instructors at the relay station could quickly find the students in distress.
But now, in the thunderstorm, the Hunting Recorder was completely useless.
Therefore, the student in distress could only use the most traditional flare to call for help.
However, the flare's illumination range is limited.
The nearby rescue instructors may not be able to quickly locate the student.
Fang Zhou looked up at the position of the flare, and commanded the Skeleton Army to explore in that direction.
Ahead was a region of rugged hills, the path very difficult to navigate.
After a few turns, Fang Zhou finally found the student in need of help.
It was a female Combat Professional Fang Zhou was not very familiar with.
From afar, she was drenched in blood, tightly surrounded by a group of Jackal Wolfman Cavalry in a narrow rock hollow.
Luckily, she had already torn open the Black Iron-grade protective Shield Scroll for her life.
A thick shield surrounded the severely injured and distressed female student at 360 degrees without any blind spots.
The Jackal Wolfman Cavalry were wielding flails and maces, constantly attacking the shield, yet to no avail.
Seeing the prey they were about to catch eluding their grasp, the Jackal Wolfmen couldn't help but howl in frustration.
Fang Zhou quickly scanned the battlefield.
Aside from this group of Jackal Wolfman Cavalry, he didn't see any other demons.
Upon closer inspection, among this group of Jackal Wolfmen, there was one Middle Rank Apprentice Jackal Wolfman Warlock, wielding a Magic Staff, and two Middle Rank Apprentice Jackal Wolfman Warriors.
The other 20 or so were ordinary Lower Rank Apprentice Jackal Wolfmen.
This was considered a medium-sized Jackal Wolfman Battle Group.
Due to each having a Warg, in terms of mobility and individual combat power, they were considered relatively strong among the demons of the No. 1 Cave.
The trapped female student was only at the Lower Rank Apprentice level.
One-on-one, she might easily take down a single Jackal Wolfman Cavalry.
But now, facing over 20 Jackal Wolfman Cavalry, she couldn't fight them and couldn't run away.
She could only be tightly surrounded in these hills, with no room to escape.
No wonder she had to pay the price of elimination, activate her life-saving shield, and send out a distress signal.
Once Fang Zhou determined that he could handle this group of Jackal Wolfman Cavalry on his own, he no longer hesitated.
He saw through the night vision binoculars that the besieged female student was covered in blood and seemed badly injured.
Rescue was urgent, and he didn't spare his spiritual power.
Quietly advancing to within a few dozen meters of the Jackal Wolfman Cavalry, Fang Zhou gently waved his Magic Staff.
Aiming at the densest cluster of demons, he decisively released [Skeleton Arrow Rain].
The thing about Jackal Wolfman Cavalry was that they had very keen senses of smell.
Even amid the pouring rain, one Middle Rank Apprentice Jackal Wolfman Warrior seemed to catch a whiff of something unusual.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
The Jackal Wolfman Warrior suddenly turned around, facing Fang Zhou's cold smile.
In that flash of moment, it could only let out a howl before seeing countless bony arrows raining down from the sky.
The three Middle Rank Apprentice Jackal Wolfmen reacted quickly, urging their Wargs to leap backward, avoiding the wave of Skeleton Arrow Rain.
But the ordinary Jackal Wolfmen were completely unable to dodge.
With the enhancement of [Flower of Sighs], all the Undead Mage skills of Fang Zhou had increased effectiveness.
[Skeleton Arrow Rain] was no exception!
Compared to before, its quantity and power were considerably enhanced.
Shing, shing, shing!
At least six or seven Jackal Wolfman Cavalry were riddled with arrows, howling as they fell.
Then a burst of explosions ensued, sending the surviving Jackal Wolfmen flying.
Awooo!
The eyes of the two Jackal Wolfman Warriors turned even bloodier red.
They abandoned the student huddling behind the shield and urged their Wargs to charge at Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou had openly stood nearby to attract the wolves, easing the pressure on the injured student.
Seeing his goal achieved, he didn't hesitate to step forward with his long legs and retreat into the darkness.
The remaining dozen or so Jackal Wolfmen saw Fang Zhou fleeing in a panic, their faces breaking into grim smiles.
A bipedal creature, how could it outrun a quadruped?
These Wolf Cavalry specialized in tearing prey into pieces during pursuit.
But the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces.
Crack.
Crack.
Forty mighty and menacing skeletons burst out from behind the giant rock behind Fang Zhou.
The distance between the sides was already short.
The agility attribute of the Middle Rank Apprentice skeletons wasn't much lower than the Wargs under the Jackal Wolfman Cavalry.
Thus, these Jackal Wolfman Cavalry had no time to hesitate and directly clashed head-on with the Skeleton Army.
With a sharp cry from a Jackal Wolfman Warrior, the flails and maces in their hands drew deadly paths through the air.
The roars of the Wargs and the howls of the Jackal Wolfmen merged into a battle hymn, shaking the hills.
