Hearing that anxious voice, Cass frowned.

Soon, a thin and weak yellow-haired farmer appeared at the door, panting as he pointed outside the village.

Seeing that the other party was breathing rapidly, Cass immediately poured a bowl of water for him. After the other party calmed down for a while, he asked, “What kind of wolves? Where are they?”

“Master Cass, it’s the silverback wolves!”

The villager replied fearfully.

“Silverback wolves? How many?” After hearing it was silverback wolves, Cass’s expression also became serious.

“I don’t know, there are probably dozens of them!” When the farmer heard Cass’s words, he could not remember how many there were at once. He frowned and carefully tried to recall but could only answer a vague number.

“I didn’t expect you to have the chance to practice so soon. Caruso, come with me to fight!”

After hearing that there were so many silverback wolves, Cass immediately said to the confused Caruso.

After saying that, he didn’t wait for Caruso’s response and directly pulled him out.

…

In less than ten minutes, Caruso was pulled along by the village chief all the way to the village gate.

At the entrance of the village, a group of panicked farmers holding pitchforks and hatchets were seen being surrounded by dozens of silverback wolves.

On the way, Cass also introduced some information about silverback wolves to Caruso.

Silverback wolves were a common wolf species in this area. They were bloodthirsty magical beasts. Because the fur on their backs was silver, they were called silverback wolves.

This kind of wolf was one-to-two times bigger than ordinary wild wolves. It was very smart and cunning. It usually hunted in groups.

Normally, this group of silverback wolves should be in the forest to look for food. They did not know why they came to the village.

After arriving here, the villagers immediately fled in fear. Some of the stronger men used ordinary farm tools to fight against it.

But how could ordinary people fight against silverback wolves?

Soon, a few farmers were almost killed and became food for the wolf pack.

Because of this, Cass was called over.

After all, the mission of a mage was to protect the stability of a region and to resist the invasion of these wolves or other races.

Now, only Sir Cass could fight against these wolves.

“Sir Cass, you should quickly deal with these magical beasts!”

“Sir Cass, Dante has been eaten!”

“Sir Cass, quickly make your move!”

Seeing these wolves crazily devouring the farmers, the villagers of Auphi Village looked to Cass fearfully and hurriedly said.

“Caruso, follow me to expel the wolves!”

After seeing the dozen level one silverback wolves in front of him, Cass frowned and said to Caruso beside him.

“Ding-dong. Player has received Cass’s quest [Eliminate the wolf pack]. Completing the quest will grant 1,000 experience points!”

After Cass finished speaking, a notification appeared in Caruso’s mind.

After hearing the quest, Caruso did not waste any time and immediately stood up. Then, he looked at a silverback wolf that was staring at him.

“Fireball Spell!”

“Fire Snake!”

In the blink of an eye, Caruso cast two fierce fire-type skills.

A huge fireball was on his left hand. Similarly, fire snakes were swimming around on his right hand.

After the two spells were condensed, Caruso immediately used his spiritual power to control the spell.

In an instant, the fireball crashed into the silverback wolf pack like a meteor.

Bang!

A loud sound rang out. A silverback wolf was hit by a fireball and tumbled back. Soon, a burst of flame was ignited on its body.

The silverback wolf’s fur was ignited by the flame. The flame kept on clinging to the silverback wolf’s body and burning it.

The surrounding wolf pack also received a large amount of damage.

“Awooo!”

The silverback wolf that was burned soon began to howl in pain. And then, it died.

“Ding-dong! Congratulations! You have killed the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP.”

“Ding-dong! Player’s Fire Mastery proficiency +1.”

After dying, white light flew out of the silverback wolf’s body. After flashing for a few seconds, it entered Caruso’s body and turned into EXP.

“You can gain EXP from killing silverback wolves?” After hearing the system’s notification, Caruso was stunned for a moment before he quickly became excited.

He originally thought that although he was a player, if he wanted to advance to a higher level as a mage, he would have to slowly meditate like the people in this world to achieve a breakthrough. However, after discovering that he could gain EXP from killing monsters… he knew that his advancement would definitely not be that troublesome.

When he thought of this, he was incomparably excited.

Slowly meditating and leveling up was too slow. If there was no other way, it would be very difficult for him to improve.

As for himself, he only needed to kill monsters to gain EXP.

Such a simple, crude, and fast method was simply the greatest surprise.

Thinking of this, Caruso began to work even harder to kill.

“Fire Snake!”

Following an angry shout, the fire snake on Caruso’s palm seemed to have grown legs and automatically found a silverback wolf to launch an attack.

The fire snake’s attack was a little stronger than the fireball spell. It was like a rocket, drilling into the silverback wolf’s body with a whoosh and quickly piercing through its body.

A bloody wound quickly appeared on the Silverback Wolf’s body.

At the same time, a damage value appeared on the silverback wolf’s head.

“Awooo!”

After the silverback wolf was pierced by the fire snake, it fell straight to the ground and died with a howl.

“Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP.”

“Ding-dong! Player’s Fire Mastery +1.”

After the second silverback wolf was killed, seeing the reward that he had obtained, Caruso’s movements also became faster.

“Fireball!”

“Fire Snake!”

“Fireball!”

“Fire Snake!”

“Ding-dong. Congratulations on killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP.”

“Ding-dong. Congratulations on killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP.”

“Ding-dong. Congratulations to the player for successfully killing a silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP.”

…

Five minutes later, Caruso had already killed eight silverback wolves in a row. He had also successfully obtained 80 experience points.

The 80 experience points did not allow him to level up. After checking his attributes, he discovered that he still had 20 experience points before he could level up.

For this, Caruso immediately began to search for the next silverback wolf.

However, when he locked onto one silverback wolf, the silverback wolves were already scared of him.

How would they dare to provoke this vicious fellow?

Right now, they only wanted to escape!

Leave this slaughterhouse!

“You want to escape?”

“Fire Snake!”

Seeing that the silverback wolves were extremely timid, the last three were prepared to turn around and escape. Caruso immediately rushed forward and condensed a fire snake spell into his hand. Then, he flew towards a fleeing silverback wolf.

The fire serpent once again pierced through the silverback wolf like an arrow and Caruso immediately shifted his target.

“Fireball!”

“Fire Snake!”

After casting two skills, he killed the last two silverback wolves.

“Ding-dong! Congratulations, Player, for successfully leveling up!”
