Chapter 421: Mummies vs Wolves

"Ava," Theo shouted while watching the four-legged monster behind him. It looked like a buffalo that almost rammed him with that giant pair of horns.

However, Ava came from the side and kicked the monster in the face, directing it to the side and almost hitting him in the process.

Theo had calculated this and waved his spear, cutting the monster's head without hesitation.

[Killed a Rampaging Buffalo.]

[EXP+ 70,505]

"Good work, Ava." Theo smiled and turned around, seeing Ava standing on top of the corpse.

Because of the current fight, Theo somehow understood Ava's strength a bit more.

She seemed to be a level 300 to level 350 monster because she didn't manage to obliterate the buffalo's head like when she did it in the past, especially the zombies.

"Kyu!" Ava smiled and raised her hand.

Theo had been running straight to Sinx Forest this whole time and was one day away from the location. He encountered so many monsters along the way and somehow killed ninety percent of the monsters they encountered.

Normally, Ava would take at least thirty percent of them because of her power and enthusiasm, but due to the level gap becoming smaller, Ava couldn't kill as much as before.

Hence, Theo often took advantage of the situation and killed the monsters to get more EXP points while giving Ava their meat so she could get stronger by eating them.

And this seemed to be a good strategy since they were in a win-win situation.

Theo managed to get a good few levels during the process.

Their progress looked normal until Ava's ears suddenly picked up something. She usually warned him about monsters and located them to get a better chance of killing them, but this time, she started panicking.

"Kyu!" Ava leaped in front of him, gathering his attention. "Kyu, Kyu!"

Theo frowned. It wasn't rare to see Ava panicking, but this time, her expression was more distorted than ever.

She pointed at her left while warning Theo. "Kyu, Kyu!"

"There are monsters over there?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "They are coming here?"

Ava nodded furiously before taking another look at her left and jumping on top of Theo's shoulder. "Ky—"

Before she even finished, a blue-colored wolf emerged from within the woods.

"!!!" Theo instinctively raised his spear and examined the wolf. The wolf body had light blue fur except for the ones around its feet and mouse.

However, he recognized this wolf as he had learned various wolf species before coming to Sinx Forest, which nested more than a hundred types of wolves.

"Blue Carnal Wolf," Theo muttered the monster's name and waved his hand upward.

The wind around his hand started getting riled up and circling around.

The moment Theo was about to pass the wolf's, the wind hit the wolf's belly and launched it into the air.

The wolf growled while trying to spin its body to land on the ground.

Meanwhile, Theo summoned twenty Magic Bullets and shot the wolf.

The wolf released all his strength and forced the wind to move back and forth, forming a thin barrier.

When the Magic Bullets hit the barrier, it exploded and dispersed the wind. And this was what Theo wanted as he used his Blink to appear next to the wolf and slice the wolf's head without giving it a chance to dodge.

[Killed a Blue Carnal Wolf.]

[EXP+ 75,400]

"Hmm?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw multiple wolves jumping from one place to another, using the trees to confuse him.

"Ava, you were warning me about a wolf pack earlier?" Theo asked out loud as his heart skipped a beat.

"Kyu!" Ava nodded furiously.

"Seriously? If only you can speak…" Theo suddenly turned around and ran away. "Never mind. We need to get out of here first."

While running, Ava looked at the chasing wolves. Her ears picked twenty more wolves coming and their speed was higher than Theo. She wondered if Theo could outrun them.

"I'm going to fly, so hang on."

Before Theo took off, she pointed at the front while slamming her foot a few times. This was the usual gesture she used to tell Theo there was an enemy.

Feeling her warning signal, the foot, Theo quickly used his Telekinesis to halt his step and launch himself into the air. He only had the option to fly to the right or left.

But before he could even fly past the branches and leaves, two yellow-colored clothes that seemed to be a shawl flew at him.

"Hmm?" Theo squinted his eyes and looked down, finding a humanoid figure standing on the ground.

The humanoid figure had muddy brownish dark green skin, with almost all its body covered with a yellow-colored bandage. The bandage itself was quite thick because it only wrapped the body once and Theo already couldn't see through it.

The teeth were in disarray and the mouth opened wide, showing a black tongue. The eyes were red like that of blood and emanated killing intent and bloodlust all the time.

The mummy's hand grabbed tight the yellow bandage to catch Theo.

"A mummy?"

Theo instinctively raised his spear, so the bandage reached his spear instead of his body. To his surprise, the bandage began to warp the spear's handle as if it had consciousness of its own.

Theo tightened his grip and felt the pulling force that almost took away his spear.

Without hesitation, he pulled the other spear and cut the bandage. Freed from the restraints, Theo disappeared using his Blink, hiding behind a tree to fool the monster.

The wolves had arrived on the scene and found Theo wasn't there, only a mummy. But several mummies started making their appearance as both sides stared at each other.

Their eyes were filled with hostility until the wolf began to jump, pouncing them.

The mummies didn't like it and started using their bandages to fight back.

"…" Theo widened his eyes when he saw the clash between mummies and wolves. "What the heck is happening here?"
