Chapter 37: Time of Carnage (2)

  (It's the weekend today, and I was supposed to explode with updates, but because of changes in the plot earlier, I had to add more chapters and wasted a lot of stored drafts. Tonight I have work, so I can only wait until tomorrow to explode! Farewell to gloominess, **it's coming soon**, please continue supporting me! Collect and vote! Qing Shan thanks you!)

  As soon as they entered the forest, Li Junshan released all four ordinary aberrants that couldn't use magic, one in front to lead the way, and one on each side and behind, rushing deep into the forest.

  Those five deformed creatures that could spit out magic were not going to be released by Li Junshan for the time being, after all, it took time for the deformed creatures to recover in the spiritual space after they were injured.

  Xenomorphs can recover from minor injuries in about a day's time in the spiritual realm, while severe injuries take around three days.

  "Those deformed eggs still haven't made a sound, if I had a hundred of them now, there's no need to be so cautious, just release dozens of them and let them hunt by instinct." Li Junshan thought to himself as his body slightly crouched down on the back of the creature.

  It wasn't long before the night was as black as ink, and to make matters worse, it was overcast with dark clouds, without a glimmer of starlight or moonlight. Li Junshan strained his eyes to see, but the visibility was only about three or four meters. He couldn't help but order the alien creature to slow down its pace, relying on its keen senses to move forward slowly.

  Suddenly, Li Junshan's spiritual power felt that the strange creature in front of him had stopped, and he quickly gathered up some of the scattered creatures and slowly walked forward.

  He didn't see the corpse on the ground until he walked right up to it. It was a middle-aged man with a shocking wound cut into his throat, and the blood had long since dried up.

  Li Junshan jumped down from the back of the alien, carefully searched the man's body, but still didn't find anything useful, guessing that he had been cleaned up by his killer long ago.

  Riding on the alien creature, Li Junshan was once again under its protection, ready to move forward.

  Suddenly, the deformed creature behind Li Junshan three or four meters away flashed to one side, and at the same time, "Boom!" A huge stone emitting a yellowish-brown color fell from the sky and smashed into the position where the deformed creature was originally standing.

  There is someone on the tree!

  Li Junshan was shocked, and at this time, several more yellowish-brown boulders came crashing down from the sky, heading straight for where he stood.

  "Whoosh......" The other three mutants and Li Junshan flashed to over a dozen meters away at the same time. "Boom!" A series of deafening explosions, the soft ground in the forest was instantly pummeled into massive craters.

  "He's an earth-based magician." Li Junshan thought to himself as he commanded the two strange creatures to climb up the tree. The trees in the forest had been living and growing for who knows how many years, with thick trunks and dense green leaves, and Li Junshan wanted to flush the magician out from above.

  The alien's climbing posture was very strange, on the smooth tree trunk more than 30 meters high, they swung their tails to the top of the tree trunk and stuck them in for leverage, with all four limbs moving rapidly, in the blink of an eye two aliens disappeared into the dense tree trunks.

  Receiving the feedback from the alien on top of the spiritual communication information, Li Junshan was taken aback, and the alien actually didn't find that magician on top.

  Suddenly, Li Junshan felt a burst of shock and before he could react, the alien let out a blood-curdling scream. The tip of its foot touched the soft cartilage on the side of another alien's body, and Li Junshan flew rapidly onto the back of that alien. Only then did he see that a sharp stone spike had suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing the abdomen of the first alien.

  Feeling its pain in his mind, Li Junshan hastily sent that deformed creature back into spiritual space.

  Silently, a dozen or so sharp stone spikes suddenly protruded from the ground, and Li Junshan directed the changing direction of the strange shape, turning into a trail of residual shadows, as if to disrupt the magician's line of sight.

  "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

  Dozens of wind blades appeared around Li Junshan and the two deformed creatures close to him, flying in at various strange angles without any trajectory.

  "Double-element mage!" Li Junshan finally understood why the two deformed creatures climbing up to the treetop couldn't find that mage, he must have cast wind-element magic to change his position.

  Even if Li Junshan didn't understand magic, he could see that a single spell could unleash so many wind blades, and the momentum was strange and tricky, it must be above the rank of a magic guide.

  Li Junshan's mind was racing as he commanded the alien creatures to rapidly jump upwards, avoiding the swirling wind blades. However, one of the aliens was still struck by a wind blade at an odd angle, its forelimb severed and half its paw chopped off, with green blood gushing out.

  It's really troublesome.

  Li Junshan was secretly shocked, his whole body suddenly moved, his hands grasped the thick bark on the tree trunk, and his body, which had been strengthened by the alien gene transformation, rapidly climbed up the tree trunk and disappeared into the dense foliage in an instant.

  The other four irregulars also climbed up the trees, and the forest was quiet again.

  Barry hid in the dense forest, secretly feeling a chill, he almost didn't dare to believe that under his dual-system magic's several attacks, not only did he fail to kill the young man and the demon beast, but instead forced them both into hiding.

  Barry is a magician of the Treasure Dragon Empire and an infinitely promising magic guide. He was born into a large family in the Treasure Dragon Empire, and his elders did not know how much effort they put in to get the notice to enter the Blood-colored Valley.

  In fact, Barry himself was very confident. Since entering this forest two days ago, he had already killed three people, including a senior magician and two warriors.

  During the day, Barry won't act. Exposed magicians are vulnerable, he knows it in his heart, and only at night does he use wind magic to sneak around quietly.

  As soon as Li Junshan appeared in this area, Barry, who had cast a wind-based detection spell, felt it. Barry was so confident that he didn't directly hit Li Junshan with the first boulder technique, but instead attacked his summoned beast, wanting to use the sound of battle to lure more people over and let them kill each other, while he himself hid on the side and took advantage of the situation.

  Who would have thought that such a seemingly inexperienced young man would be so vigilant, and his summoned beast was also extraordinary.

  Barry thought to himself, becoming even more cautious and hiding, vigilant of the surrounding tree trunks, his mouth silently chanting a magical spell, adding a layer of non-luminous wind system protection to himself.

  Bari likes to assassinate others, extremely dislikes being secretly coveted by others. Sometimes, he even feels that he is more like an assassin than a magician.

  The forest was as silent as death, after several days of slaughter, there were almost no demons left in this forest, only cold corpses and fellow travelers hiding in some corner.

  The night is cool as water, the night is deep like ink.

  Barry felt a bit tense, he didn't like this feeling, muttering the magic spell in his mouth, he quietly cast a wind system exploration magic, the wind element in the air responded to his magic call, like a dense net, scattered in all directions.

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind rose, and Bali's face changed greatly. Before he could turn his head to look, a silent and unstoppable black blade broke through the air, piercing his Wind Shield from behind, stabbing into his back and emerging directly from his chest cavity.

  A long hand reached out from behind Barry and covered his mouth, forcing back the cry of despair that had risen to his throat.

  As Barry's last glance, he saw a middle-aged man with high cheekbones, emitting a silent and cruel smile, only to feel a chill in his heart, that black blade had slashed across his neck again, and Barry instantly lost consciousness.

  It was a man in black who gently placed Bari's body on the thick branch, cautiously looking around several times.

  There was also a young man on the other side, with several agile magical beasts.

  The man in black knew it in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless. He bit the black blade in his mouth, held his breath, and covered a thick branch with his hand. His body lightly swayed, and he silently floated onto another closely connected tree.

  His feet had just landed when the man in black leaned forward, but before he could take half a step forward, his keen senses only felt that the air behind him was slightly trembling. He instantly felt his scalp numb, and his body twisted strangely, then darted out several meters forward. His mouth flicked, and the sharp blade in his mouth was already in his right hand, and he swung it back to slash at the person behind him.

  "Clang!" The sound of metal hitting metal rang out, and the black-clad man felt a numbness in his right hand. At the same time, his keen senses made him raise his head sharply, and he saw that on the trunk of the tree in front of him stood a strange magical beast, its tailbone gleaming with cold light had been blocked by himself. At this moment, it was opening its huge mouth, drooling continuously, and its skull was stretching towards him.

  The black-clad man's ferocity was fully displayed at this moment, his body suddenly turning like a stone and falling straight down to the ground. The two deformed tail bones that were stabbing down from the tree trunk instantly fell empty.

  When falling in mid-air, the black-clothed person's body curled up into a ball and suddenly straightened, with both hands hooked around a tree trunk, as if swinging on a swing, and landed lightly on the tree trunk.

  "Pfft!"

  The man in black ended his performance like a top acrobat, and his abdomen was pierced by the tailbone of an alien creature that had been lurking on the tree trunk, with blood gushing out.

  "Don't kill me." The man in black grasped the alien's tailbone that had penetrated his abdomen, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth as he said urgently: "I can be your helper, we can stand together."

  The response was a deformed skull, in the black-robed man's terrified gaze, the deformed creature opened its mouth and approached him, with a strong tongue bone that suddenly popped out, piercing a large hole in the black-robed man's head, with brain matter splattering everywhere.

  Having made sure there was no danger, Li Junshan slowly emerged from behind the branches of the strange tree, his heart still somewhat tense.

  The alien had not yet discovered the magician's hiding place, and if it hadn't been for the assassin's sudden attack, the smell of blood would have alerted the alien. It was still hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

  That magician was also unlucky, focusing on dealing with himself, but being touched by others without even knowing it.

  He took the black-bladed dagger from the man in black, and as soon as Li Junshan held it in his hand, he felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but nod secretly and tucked it into his waistband. He had come prepared, but this non-reflective black blade was much better than the weapon he had brought with him on this dark night.

  At this time he noticed that the man in black had a ring on his hand, took it down and looked at it, and it was indeed made of the same material as his space ring, all made of seven-degree gold.

  Li Junshan leaned over the body again and searched it, discovering a rope around its neck with three space rings tied to it.

  "It seems he has killed quite a few people." Li Junshan said to himself, and then reached the body of the magician again, also finding four space rings.

  "Those who can come to the Blood-colored Valley are either capable or have a certain status, and almost all of them possess spatial rings." Li Junshan's mouth curled up into a faint smile as he strung the eight spatial rings together with a rope and tied it around his neck.

  "If I were to be killed by someone else, then he would become rich." Li Junshan patted the spatial ring hidden under his clothes.

  They didn't come down from the tree anymore. Li Junshan and the four mutants leaped and flew between the giant trees, running deeper into the forest.
