Chapter 39: Time of Carnage (4)

  "It's probably just a magical beast, no need to make a fuss." The magician said in a very calm tone.

  "Alas." The big meatball sighed and said, "What a pity that my good axe is gone. That demon beast is so strange, its blood can even corrode refined iron." The giant axe in his hand had already been completely twisted, with a hole the size of a human head on the blade.

  "Heh heh, Mr. Feizi is still quite sensitive, and was the first to hear the sound of that magical beast approaching. Fire Cow, who told you to be so impatient? Mr. Allen's magic had already hit it, and you took advantage of being close to swing your axe. If Young Master hadn't been quick-witted and rushed over to block the blood sprayed out by the magical beast with his axe, you wouldn't have even been able to save your own life."

  "By the way, young master, how did you know that the monster's blood has a strong corrosive property? Have you seen this kind of strange monster before?" The priestess girl looked at the man in armor.

  "I've never seen it before, but just as the Fire Ox chopped off that monster's head, I saw a faint smoke drifting from his axe blade and signs of melting on its surface." The young man who was called Young Master spoke in a youthful voice.

  The magician struck the alien with a swift blow, while the big meatball beheaded it in one go! The young master's movements were even faster than the blood gushing out of the severed head of the alien!

  Li Junshan's heart began to thump violently.

  Those five people patrolled for a while and didn't find anything unusual, so they turned around and continued walking forward.

  Li Junshan remained still, not thinking that his movements could be faster than the alien's, or that he could sneak up on it more stealthily. The aliens had just caught up to him and discovered him, so if he followed them again like this, it would be like walking into a trap - looking for death.

  "When I went to find His Majesty the King to ask for the Blood Color Valley notification, he already knew about your matter and was exceptionally supportive of it. Water is always deeper than you think, in the Lances Empire there are countless people who can defeat you, not to mention the gathering of geniuses in the Blood Color Valley. Treat the Black Dragon as a trump card, unless you encounter life danger, don't easily release it, this way you can maximize the protection of your life."

  These were the words spoken by Old Duke Audric, head of the Harriman family, to Li Junshan before he set off, and Li Junshan deeply agreed with them.

  After some thought, Li Junshan gave up the idea of releasing the Black Dragon to kill them, after all, it wasn't that critical a moment yet.

  "I've already obtained sixteen Space Rings, which means sixteen quotas have been eliminated. Excluding myself, there are only seventeen people left. I'll catch up again tonight and see how it goes; after all, there are still two days left." Li Junshan thought to himself as he slowly savored a few pieces of dried meat, then took out a bottle of clear water from the Space Ring and drank a few mouthfuls before closing his eyes to meditate.

  This forest seems extremely large, but it is a narrow valley about three miles wide. The two sides are steep and precipitous cliffs that are difficult to climb. As long as you don't get the direction back and forth wrong, you will absolutely not get lost.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but Li Junshan, who hadn't been sleeping well, was suddenly awakened by a loud clap of thunder. He thought it was the Thunder Magic Master releasing magic and quickly opened his eyes to find that at some point the sky had become dark with thick clouds, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, clearly indicating an impending torrential downpour.

  "What a great opportunity." Li Junshan couldn't help but feel ecstatic. At this time, the forest covered by the giant tree of the sky was dark and almost indistinguishable from night, plus the cover of thunder, it was absolutely the best time for the alien to launch a sneak attack.

  "Whoosh..." The heavy rain came pouring down, instantly like a deluge from the sky, dense water curtains covered the entire sky and poured down at an angle.

  He didn't dare to be careless, so Li Junshan released all five magical aberrants. One ordinary aberrant was injured by the magician, and two were killed by the great warrior from earlier. The group of five also killed one, leaving only one ordinary aberrant which he sent ahead to scout the path. He rode on a magical aberrant and quietly made his way towards the front of the narrow valley.

  "Boom!" A deafening thunderclap shook the heavens, rivaling the apocalyptic lightning of the forbidden magic "Raijin", tearing through the dark sky and illuminating the dim forest in an instant.

  Li Junshan suddenly felt that the strange creature in front of him had stopped, and then let the other four magical creatures gather together, slowly moving forward almost step by step.

  Following the spiritual guidance, he soon reached the side of the ordinary alien creature that was probing the way. At this time, its huge body was buried behind a bush, and Li Junshan slowly made his way over to peek through the gap in the thicket, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

  In front of a giant tree, the five people sat upright at the base of the tree, with an almost transparent milky white light shield above their heads in an arc shape, causing the raindrops falling from the branches to slide off to one side.

  "That magician is a water attribute magician."

  Li Junshan thought to himself, with the help of a few flashes of lightning, he also got a clear look at the appearance of those five people.

  The big meatball was indeed as Li Junshan had expected, with a face full of horizontal flesh, not very ferocious, but rather looking somewhat silly, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand and gnawing on it.

  The magician was a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard, who was holding a transparent crystal bottle at this time, filled with light green liquid, occasionally taking a sip, looking very comfortable.

  The man in black was hiding behind the big meatball, and if Li Junshan hadn't looked carefully, he wouldn't have noticed him, just like a shadow.

  The girl's appearance was extremely sweet, and she was whispering to the person next to her who they called "young master", occasionally giggling a few times, with two dimples on her face that were particularly good-looking.

  That young master was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a bright and handsome face, his skin as white as the girl's, extremely handsome, but Li Junshan looked like he had a bit too much of a feminine air.

  Commanding the ordinary aberration to sneak up from behind, two magical aberrations scattered to both sides, one crawling in front of him, while he himself rode another that remained still, ready to launch a fatal blow or escape at any moment.

  The heavy rain poured down relentlessly, but the thunder and lightning seemed to be brewing for a long time, reluctant to strike. Meanwhile, they were packed tightly together, and Li Junshan didn't dare make a move either, his whole body already soaked through, feeling quite impatient.

  Suddenly, the big meatball stood up and whispered something, provoking a burst of pouting from the girl. The meatball chuckled and scratched his head, walking straight towards Li Junshan.

  "What's going on?" Li Junshan was suddenly shocked, and at this time he saw the big meatball walking while untying his belt, only then did he understand that the other party wanted to come here to relieve himself.

  As the large meatball drew closer, its target was clearly the thicket where Li Junshan was hiding. His heart rose to his throat, but suddenly he had an idea. He slowly backed away, letting another creature emit a cloud of black smoke that enveloped the thicket, and then it too retreated silently.

  All this was done with extreme stealth, and not a sound was made.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected by Li Junshan, a highly corrosive black fog enveloped the shrubbery covered with water droplets, and did not start corroding instantly. The branches and leaves turned black at a visible speed to the naked eye.

  "I hope he won't see that black fog." Li Junshan said in his heart, with a tense fist clenched.

  It was also the misfortune of that big meatball, just as it was about to turn behind the shrub forest, suddenly being hit in the eyes by raindrops dripping from between the trees, involuntarily stretching out its hand to rub its eyes while walking, and stepping into the dark fog.

  "Ah!" The moment the big meatball entered the black fog, it let out a shocking and earth-shattering scream. The whole person flew out of the bush like a cannonball and fell in front of his companions.

  "It's time." Li Junshan gave the order to attack to the other five mutants.

  The moment the big meatball let out a miserable cry, the first to act was the man in black. At the same time that the big meatball let out that miserable cry, he leapt out, his body flying like an arrow off the string to the side of the big meatball. Just as he was about to reach out and support him, he discovered the abnormality on his companion's body, and with a speed even faster than when he came, he leapt back. Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a gleaming blade over half a meter long, and with a swift motion, split open the strange tailbone that had silently crept up to his side.

  The magician's water arrow was almost instantaneous, the thick water arrow brought a fierce gust of wind and rushed towards him, from the top of the tree to his deformed body, spitting out a light ball trying to avoid it, but still being swept by the water arrow from his abdomen, flying away with a few soft bones.

  The light bullet was blocked by the magician's magic shield, and the magician's mouth never stopped, preparing for another spell.

  The one who moved the fastest was that "young master". Somehow, his hand had a two-meter-long fine sword. The blue fighting energy blade edge swirled and danced with his wrist movements, the sword body twisting like a poisonous snake. His body didn't turn around, but he counterattacked with a fierce spinning motion.

  The young master sheathed his sword and hastily retreated with the girl by his side, avoiding the blood rain that sprayed out from the monster's body. At this moment, the monster's body behind him split into four or five pieces and fell to the ground.

  "It's another great war master." Li Junshan lay in ambush in the forest, motionless, and saw that ordinary alien being dismembered instantly, involuntarily shocking and angry.

  "Ah!"

  The man in black suddenly let out a mournful cry, and with difficulty lowered his head to look at the deformed tailbone protruding from his chest, his eyes wide open as if he didn't dare to believe it.

  It was a deformed creature that slowly crawled down from the back of the tree trunk, stretching its head to the back of the man in black. Its strong tongue bone suddenly stabbed out, completely dispersing the last bit of consciousness of the man in black.

  All of this happened in an instant, and the "young master" was shocked and angry, but before he could react, the water system magician's ice spear shot out, heading straight for the strange creature behind the black-clothed man.

  "Whoosh!" The strange creature withdrew its tailbone with a nimble swing and darted into the forest.

  "Gather around." The young master's voice was shaking, whether from fear or anger, the remaining three people leaned against each other, tensely gathered under the big tree.

  Surrounded by a curtain of rain that seemed to touch the sky and the ground, those few ferocious magical beasts had all retreated, and the three people held their breath in tension, cautiously looking around in all directions.

  That big lump of flesh had not died yet, from the waist down it had all turned into a puddle of foul-smelling pus, wailing continuously.

  The girl, under the cover of the other two, muttered something in her mouth, and the silver rod in her hand suddenly shone brightly, with several white lights flying to the waist of the large meat ball that was emitting black water, but it had no effect at all.

  "Whoosh!" A grotesque creature burst out of the woods, and before the three could react, its tailbone stabbed into Da Rouyuan's chest, ending his life. It then dragged Da Rouyuan's corpse back into the woods at high speed.

  "Don't chase, young master." The magician felt the muscles of the body close behind him tense up and hastily shouted.

  The young master gritted his teeth and stopped moving.

  "Fey's body... is gone..." The girl said with a terrified face, her teeth chattering and trembling.

  The other two turned their heads and found that Feizi's body had been dragged away by the monster at some point, and they didn't even notice a single thread.

  "This monster is too eerie." The magician, who had already cast a pale blue magical shield on each of the three people on his side, said tensely: "Without Feizi, we can hardly sense where they are or when they will appear and launch a fatal attack. It's better not to make any rash moves for now."

  "Can Feizi sense it?"

  The young master felt a wave of weakness in his heart, thinking that he himself had almost been killed by the strange and sinister magic beast.

  Apart from the patter of rain, the dark forest was quiet once again.
