My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

Walking further, Noita saw the monsters that the villagers feared, a group of cunning monster wolves lurking in the leaves, branches, bushes, soil and shadows.

Just like that, she broke into the wolf pack's encirclement.

Chapter 27: Shadow of the Wolf

[Remove the shadows and the trap is revealed. Enemies are everywhere, ominous signs are emerging, and you are surrounded by wild beasts.]

The demon wolves were strong and sturdy, with their backs more than one meter above the ground. Noita couldn't see the back of their backs unless she stood on tiptoe.

The elongated, cold, thin shadow reflected on the ground was like a quagmire, constantly emitting cold magic power.

A trap.

Among the creatures in the nest, wolves are rare monsters whose intelligence and brutality are close to those of humans at low levels.

It is a symbol of pain and cruelty. Cruelty comes from wisdom, and wisdom gives birth to cunning.

Interesting.

Noita gripped the steel sword with her five fingers and stared at the wolves. The wolves surrounding her were of similar physique and cooperated with each other tacitly. Their flexible movements cleverly blocked her possible escape routes.

However, there was no wolf king among the pack, and the strongest and most powerful king had not yet appeared.

There's no way to catch them all.

Noita never thought of escaping, as all the wolves combined were no match for her.

"Ouch..."

I don’t know which wolf howled first, but in a short time, the howls of the wolves one after another merged into one, resonating in the forest.

Noita listened carefully and found two pieces of good news.

First, this place has not been cleared by other adventurers or mercenary groups; second, there are enough magic wolves.

I don’t know who made the noise, maybe it was just the wind breaking a branch. After a crisp sound, the wolf’s howl became fierce and intense.

The wolves pounced on Noita, but the girl turned her wrist and swung her sword from front to back at an unexpected angle, tearing the wolves apart.

A liquid like mud flowed out of the port, emitting a frozen stench.

After a successful attack, the wolves became cautious. They rushed from blind spots and turned into eye-catching black shadows to distract the prey.

From the outside, the movements of wolves are aesthetically pleasing, resembling a wild dance imbued with the beauty of the wilderness. The wolves draw their prey into their rhythm, overwhelming them and ultimately tearing them apart in exhaustion. If a group is trapped by them, it's best not to stare at them constantly, as their rhythm can disrupt the observer's heartbeat and lead to the victim's own collapse.

If you want to survive and win, you must disrupt their rhythm.

Or crush them with numbers.

Noita happens to have both.

She broke into the rhythm of the wolf pack, using strength, speed and sword to disrupt the coordinated dance of the wolves.

In the face of transcendental strength, Noita is an unstoppable noise, preventing Shadow Wolf from further composing his music.

With more than half of the wolves dead or injured, a low howl swept through the jungle, like a strong wind galloping across the grassland, carrying a murderous aura and spreading for miles in an instant.

The wolves, who were originally planning to retreat, became fearless under the command of the wolf howls coming from afar, and rushed towards Noita regardless of losses.

Although they were no match for Noita's sword individually, they were able to break through the gap in the defense when they swarmed forward, leaving a long and narrow wound on Noita's arm.

Pointless.

Noita glanced at the wound. She had the ability to regenerate. As long as she was not crushed to ashes, she could regenerate infinitely before her nutrient reserves were exhausted.

The wound healed quickly, and Noita wiped out all the invading enemies in time.

[Destroy the Wolf Shadow Hunting Pack and gain 5280 experience points]

There are sixteen enemies in total, each providing 330 experience points.

Noita looked at the description after the experience value with some concern.

The wound is a doorway to the world. Through it, an influence enters your blood. Something foreign enters your flesh and blood.

Something had evidently infected her through the wound.

However, the perfect body did not show any rejection reaction, which means that the foreign object had little effect on her.

After checking the bodies and finding nothing unusual, Noita checked the wolf corpses and discovered that their bodies were made up of a soft mud material mixed with the power of the undead. The main support of the body was bones that were obviously from different creatures, but they were all as hard as steel.

Noita touched her finger to some of the substance left behind by the dead wolves and felt a stinging corrosive sensation.

It looks inedible, what a pity.

After wiping his hands, Noita stepped forward with his sword.

Along the way, she was constantly attacked from the shadows by creatures resembling wolves. Initially, they were small to medium-sized beasts similar to wolves and leopards, then smaller animals like rabbits, and later, poisonous insects. They were vastly different from the Wolf Shadow Hunting Pack she had first encountered, like the difference between a regular army and a ragtag group; the difference in combat effectiveness was immense.

Occasionally, some dangerous monsters would suddenly attack among the wild beasts and cause damage to Noita, but Noita's stats and tolerance were too high, so a few minor injuries were no big deal, and her speed was not affected at all.

If the nest had consciousness, it might curse Noita for opening.

Noita admired the nest's struggle. At noon, she climbed to a high ground and looked down, taking in the entire nest.

It was a swamp growing on the hillside, overflowing with vitality. Dark reeds and nameless pale gray grasses spread wildly across the depression, completely concealing the depths of the swamp.

This nest must have given birth to a leader-level magical beast, the king who commands the Wolf Shadow hunting pack.

But it realized that Noita was difficult to deal with, so it hid in the swamp, waiting for Noita to attack.

A little troublesome.

The wolf king's strength is unlikely to reach the second level, at most it is at the same level as the leader of the Rango Society, but it hides in the nest and refuses to come out, so Noita really has no way to deal with it.

The nest has a buff effect on lives with high compatibility, but a buff effect on invaders. As a result, you may end up losing even if you could win.

We have to find a way.

Noita observed the terrain, retreated tactically, and went to Mencheng for supplies.

The wolf king, who had been observing the highlands coldly, saw the girl retreat and also retreated into the depths of the swamp. He crouched on the cold hard rocks, enjoying the caress of his master.

However, it wasn't long before the wolf king sensed the invader coming again.

When Noita exited the gate city, he had six more orange-red marbles in his hand.

[Blazing Heart]

【Excellent product, bomb, disposable】

[This incendiary weapon, crafted using the principle of fire elemental implosion, can cause lasting damage to living creatures and is listed as a controlled weapon in many countries. Difficult to extinguish, so please maintain a safe distance when using it.]

This is one of Gaia's incendiary bombs. Three of them are enough to set a normal swamp on fire. I bought six to ensure sufficient firepower, but you have to be careful when using it. If you accidentally set the mountain on fire, you will suffer a lot.

When Noita appeared again, the Wolf King suddenly opened his eyes.

Even through the packaging, it could still feel the threat of the Burning Heart, a massive amount of fire elements that was enough to burn the swamp to ashes.

The wolf king growled uneasily, and a pale, transparent hand gently pressed on the top of its head. The ghost with indecipherable gender suppressed the wolf king's uneasiness with the ancient language that only shamans would use, and gave orders to the wolf king.

"Kill her, or be killed by her."

The cruel words made the wolf king whimper softly. He rubbed his master's hand reluctantly, then rushed out resolutely.

This ghost from long ago has the ruthlessness of an ancient shaman. It emerged from the depths of the earth due to the surging of the earth veins and saw the world of light, but it had no idea about the strange world.

If I can exist, I will survive.

If you want to dissipate, then go back again.

It stands on the stone, as quiet as falling snow.

The wolf king rushed out from the shadows of the swamp, as ferocious as a wild bear in early spring.

Its keen perception allows it to know Noita's location in the swamp, and it can kill him as soon as he comes out of the swamp.

Noita was caught off guard by the wolf king's unreasonable attack. Judging from its previous behavior, it was clearly a cunning monster. How could it suddenly become as aggressive as a barbarian?

But that's okay, let me test your ability.

The wind and earth weave into a shield, blocking the most deadly claws for Noita and preventing her from being skewered.

Then the Burning Heart was sent out by the wind and exploded in the distance.

Her spiritual power has improved in recent days. Entering the gate city and bringing out the marbles only consumed half of her spiritual power, and there is still a lot of spiritual power available for fighting.

Accompanied by the light that stings the eyes, huge amounts of heat are radiated instantly, which can dry out the skin.

The fire caused the nest to riot, and a large amount of water rushed towards the unstable fire element that was wreaking havoc, vowing to extinguish it. The collision between water and fire produced a series of explosions, and water vapor spread rapidly, covering the edge of the swamp.

Noita looked in the direction of the explosion, but there was no sign of the Wolf King. In the blazing light, she saw the Wolf King retreat into the shadows.

Those who follow the Path of Shadow have the ability to travel through shadows, the most famous of which is the Rogue's Shadow Step.

However, only professionals at the second level and above can use this ability freely. Those at the first level who want to use it for a sneak attack will be stunned for several seconds.

The subtle danger stimulated Noita's heart.

Noita gripped the hilt of the sword and decisively cut from the left to the back. The blade drew a graceful arc, and there was a feeling of cutting through the air.

The enemy was not behind it, and the wolf king did not jump out of the shadows to attack it!

From the side, a gust of evil wind blew, and the huge force crushed the sword into scrap metal. The wolf king knocked Noita to the ground, and his sharp claws hooked into her bones, making her temporarily unable to move.

The giant wolf, as tall as two Noy towers, opened its bloody mouth and wanted to bite her to pieces.

Chapter 28: How can you become a legendary adventurer if you have a gun but don’t use martial arts?

Noita was so close to the wolf's kiss that she could already see the thick darkness in the wolf king's deep mouth and throat.

At the moment of life and death, Noita's thoughts stretched out, and time slowed down in her mind. At this moment, she actually had the leisure to think about things that had nothing to do with life and death.

Being bitten may not necessarily kill you, but the time it takes to regenerate is enough for the wolf king to tear you into pieces.

And I don't have any strange xp, so I don't want to be reassembled in the wolf king's stomach.

The spiritual energy that had been secretly accumulating since the beginning of the battle exploded, and the wind tore at the wolf king's throat, condensing into an invisible filler, pressing against the wolf king's mouth, preventing it from biting immediately.

Two marbles were shot out from behind, accurately entering the wolf king's mouth and sliding into his throat.

Victory is decided.

Noita thought.

The moment the marble entered his throat, the wolf king's ferocious eyes became innocent for a moment. He belatedly realized what had happened, and fear and anger caused his muscles to twist and twitch.

The wolf king increased his bite force frantically, vowing to bite Noita in half.

But the earth rippled, swallowing Noita under the soil, and the stuck arm also sank into the ground.

Four phases control the earth.

The extreme anger made the wolf king manic, and he wanted to tear something apart to vent his anger, but he could already feel the fire element bursting out of his stomach.

If it hides in the shadows, it has a chance to survive with the help of the shadows.

But this cannot be the case, it should not be the case!

Even if you escape, there is only a very low chance of survival, but the enemy will definitely survive.

This can't happen! I had a fight with her!

The sharp wolf claws are naturally suitable for digging the ground. The wolf king dug the ground angrily, digging a shallow pit in the seconds before the Fiery Heart erupted. Then it lay in the pit with its belly pressed against the ground.

With a loud bang, the violent explosion shook the earth, filled the air with smoke and dust, and the two giants born from the explosion quickly fell to the ground due to the struggle.

The high temperature burned the ground, and two fire elements over three meters tall fought each other.

They burned each other and exploded with their own kind.

However, fire elementals are naturally immune to fire and cannot harm each other.

The swamp became even more turbulent, with an endless stream of surging water rushing towards it, soothing the scorched earth while fighting against the fire element. The conflict between water and fire made the fire element instantly put aside their own kind of confrontation. They trampled on the water, carrying surging heat, and rushed towards the swamp with a common hatred of the enemy.

The air was filled with boiling white mist. Amidst the chaos, Noita emerged from underground and hid in a corner under the cover of steam to recover from his injuries.

She was severely injured. The shockwaves of the explosion rippled through the soil, instantly destroying most of her health. Fortunately, her [Tenacity] trait prevented her from falling unconscious, and her regeneration trait allowed her to quickly recover even if her health bar reached zero, as long as she had no limbs missing.

This time the injury was internal, not a large-scale trauma, so she only needed to sit there and rest for half a minute to recover.

While waiting for his injuries to heal, Noita looked through the log.

[Wolf Shadow dies, gain 11000 experience points.]
