Chapter 109 Jiang Clan's Blazing Flames
When Hulk suddenly collapsed to the ground in a panic, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water, his teammates were all startled. When they heard him mention illusion, they understood what had happened.
Bai Zhi rushed over and helped him up: "Hulk, are you alright? Why were you suddenly so frightened?"
Lin Hei also said, "I told you not to underestimate others. You got what you deserved for your rudeness, didn't you?"
He looked at his two companions, the images flashing in his eyes. Li Haoke gritted his teeth, stared intently at the person in front of him, and slowly calmed himself down while breathing heavily.
Lu Ren chuckled: "You're not convinced? Want to fight?"
He thought this person would attack him again, but just as the young lady had guessed, this person was not stupid. Although he must have some resentment in his heart, he still calmed down and said, "You are a powerful adventurer. I apologize for my previous recklessness."
Seeing him suddenly become so obedient, Lu Ren suddenly felt bored. He casually swallowed another bronze-level spirit bone into his stomach, crunching and chewing, and then swallowed it.
Li Haoke looked up at the sorcerer in front of him. For some reason, this man, who had been honest and unassuming before, seemed to have become a completely different person, with an extremely flamboyant aura emanating from him.
"Brother Lu, I'm so sorry, Hulk just has a sharp tongue, he didn't mean any harm, and I'm sorry if he offended you—"
'
Xiao Mei repeatedly apologized for her teammate's offense, while secretly wondering to herself that this mysterious sorcerer actually had illusion skills.
Illusion is generally a skill of high-level mentalists, and the fact that it could render Hulk powerless with just a glance suggests that the person using such a powerful illusion must have a very high resonance attribute.
The opponent is clearly not at the Star Cocoon Realm, but the Yin-Yang, Resonance, and Inspiration attributes they are currently displaying are all at the Torch level, suggesting they are a very special profession.
Could it be a divine cultivator with three main attributes? That's an unheard-of profession!
Xiao Mei met Lu Ren's gaze and felt a little pressured, so she couldn't help but squint her eyes: "Brother Lu—"
Could you please stop staring at my chest?
Lu Ren snorted and turned to his boss to complain, "Miss slandered me."
He's not that kind of person at all; the young lady won't believe him.
After cleaning up their spoils, which were the corpses of the rock-shelled lizards, the group finished off their loot.
The price of a spirit remains is not entirely determined by its grade, but also by its rarity and the ease of obtaining it.
The remains of the Swamp Mud Monster can sell for tens of thousands, or even 10, while the remains of the Rock Shell Lizard, which is also of bronze grade, can only sell for 3 or 4, which is about the same price as the Yellow Mud Monster and the Sludge Monster.
This is normal. Swamp Mud Monsters are like the BOSS in the beginner village, while Rock Shell Lizards are like the mobs in high-level dungeons. Even if their stats are similar, if you want to see a Swamp Mud Monster, you have to honestly refresh the beginner village and grind all the way to the end before you can see one. Rock Shell Lizards, on the other hand, are everywhere in the Yanzhou Realm dungeon. They are just like roadside mobs. Although they are the same level, their rarity is completely different.
Just like the silver-grade spirit remains that Lu Ren is currently using as reserve food, they are produced from a high-risk gold-grade void realm, and the price is relatively affordable, about 100,000 per piece. He has already eaten three today.
"Lu Ren, a single rock-shelled lizard skeleton can sell for three thousand, we've made over ten thousand in one go!"
Lu Youhe was extremely excited: "Brother, we're rich!"
"————" Young Lu Youhe had no idea that, given her brother's spending habits, the two of them would never be able to pay off the debts even if they worked for the Shen family for their entire lives!
Lu Youhe and Jiang Yueying went to collect the spoils of war. This was Lu Youhe's first time participating in actual combat, so he was very excited.
Jiang Yueying is a typical example of someone who is both cowardly and loves to show off. When asked to fight, she is trembling with fear, but after the fight, she starts to think she is awesome.
The two little ones even stood next to the corpse for a photo; anyone who didn't know better would think they were on a picnic.
"This angle is good, Yuhe, move a little to the left!"
Ji Liguang was taking pictures of them. Lu Youhe stood on tiptoe, trying to be taller than Jiang Yueying, but Jiang Yueying noticed. Then the two little girls tried their best to stand on tiptoe and compete with each other, so cute—provided you ignore the mountain-like corpse of the beast behind them.
The three of them wanted to take a group photo, so they asked Shen Yaoxing to take the picture.
The young lady stood there with her arms crossed, ignoring them completely.
Lu Ren took photos of them to commemorate the girls' first team battle.
Ji Liguang absorbed a spirit bone and obtained bronze-level hardening. She tested the effect and found that she could now withstand a swamp gas explosion from Jiang Yueying head-on when she used hardening, greatly improving her defensive capabilities.
Shen Yaoxing asked, "What are your thoughts on your later skills?"
Although Ji Liguang's mind was blank, he still pretended to think for a moment: "As for the skills that follow—"
A shield warrior is still a warrior; they can't just defend forever without attacking. Their future development should be based on their individual talents, habits, and profession.
Seeing her expression, Shen Yaoxing knew she had no plan, and sighed, "Never mind, we'll figure it out together after you break through to the Flame Realm."
The group set off again towards Yanxi Village, with the Black Mountain High Moon team leading the way and the Summer Cicadas team following behind.
Secretly, the young lady transmitted her voice to him, "Didn't I just tell you not to make a move?"
Uh, I couldn't resist, I got a little tipsy.
"What skill was that? When did you learn it? Didn't you just kill a Voidbone Bird?"
"No, Miss, didn't you see? She has a vertical pupil on her forehead. That ethereal bird was actually a banshee in disguise."
"It was a banshee, a rare and precious beast. Its remains could probably fetch hundreds of millions, and you just ate it!"
— Lu Ren then realized the profound impact of his declining intelligence.
Announcing death and transforming? Transformation is a bit of a waste for you, but because this skill requires a very high "rule affinity" and "inspiration," almost no professional can learn it. You shouldn't reveal this skill in normal times. Announcing death, on the other hand, is quite good; it's a very strong mental attack skill.
Lu Ren felt his head was a little heavy. The young lady's rambling words seemed hard to understand. At this moment, he only thought that the young lady looked beautiful when she was thinking.
Speaking of which, the young lady looks really good today. She's wearing a white tight-fitting tank top with a thin, light apricot-colored battle skirt over it, unbuttoned and just left open.
The neckline of the one-piece battle skirt was very low. Looking down from his angle, the soft flesh was covered by the fabric, creating a deep curve that would gently rise up with each breath.
Don't think about anything else when you're transmitting your voice; I can hear you.
"Cough cough cough!"
As he walked, Lu Ren suddenly coughed, as if he had choked on his own saliva.
Lu Youhe asked her brother with concern, "Lu Ren, what's wrong? Is the poison still not gone? Do you want some hot water?"
As she spoke, she pulled a thermos from her treasured gourd; it was a very old-fashioned design.
But if the poison hasn't been completely cleared, drinking hot water won't help, right?
Shen Yaoxing said calmly, "Your brother just secretly looked at my chest and described it to me."
"Lu Ren, why are you like this? Miss, please don't mind him, my brother isn't usually like this!"
"I know he usually only dares to look but not recognize, let alone give me his thoughts after watching it."
Jiang Yueying finally found an opportunity to retaliate, teasingly saying, "Lu, Lu Ren has arrived too, at this age—"
Ji Liguang glanced at him, then sighed heavily, seemingly echoing the sentiments of his teammates.
Lu Ren looked distressed. He usually only became enraged during battles, but since there was no battle going on, his mind was a bit confused after his rationality was affected.
How can this poison be so potent? He has consumed several spirit remains and it still hasn't been neutralized.
Half an hour ago, in the valley, the masked man landed on the ground unharmed.
He patted the dust off his black robe, glanced at the already dead female demon, and removed some of her masks, revealing a bright and beautiful Chinese face.
This is not a man, but a woman in her early twenties.
Shen Yaoxing would be quite surprised, because this woman was none other than their other mission member—
Jiang Yanyan, the leader of the Firewood-level squad who went missing in Yandong Village, is a member of the Dayu royal family who came to Yanzhou for training.
The woman looked up in the direction Lu Ren and the others had flown off in, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Pretty impressive."
The dozen or so black-robed Snow Throats came to her side, but none of them uttered a word.
Jiang Yanyan looked in one direction in the woods, and soon, two Snow Throats escorted out an old man with white hair and a Persian face, dressed in the same black robe.
Snow Throat has a clear hierarchy, divided into lips, teeth, tongue, and throat, corresponding to Candlelight and Frost Moon, which can be distinguished by some patterns on the black robe.
The old man in front of me, covered in wounds, had a pattern representing a tongue embroidered on his black robe, which meant that this battered old man was a powerful expert at the Star Cocoon Realm!
The old man struggled to lift his head, looked at the woman before him, and began to mutter some Persian, but he seemed to be repeating only one word: "Jane!—Jane!"
Jiang Yanyan's face was ashen. She parted her lips slightly and surprisingly spoke fluent Persian: "Jian? Wrong, I am not Jian, I am an angel. Wrong again, I am God."
"Jane is the devil in Christian mythology." In some legends, the evil Jaane, Shaitan, will possess a human body, suppress the original person's consciousness, and force them to say blasphemous things, harm themselves, or violate ethics.
Although the victim's physical body survived, it was believed by the people that his "soul" had been expelled and thus possessed by the evil Jaen.
"In the name of Allah, you cursed demon, you have taken over the body of this young girl."
"Wrong again. Who is God? I am God, you are God, she is God, we are all God, so I am her."
At this moment, a snow-throated creature lay prone on the ground behind her, its back arched. Jiang Yanyan naturally sat down, crossed her legs, and asked, "Old man, tell me, where exactly is the Mountain God of Dongtian Mountain? I've fed it so much blood and food, why doesn't it come out to see me?"
The old man just kept cursing in Persian: "May you die under the hooves of a stranger, your grave piled high with yellow earth!"
Just then, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. At first, there were only two or three snowflakes, but in an instant, a strong wind began to blow.
"Snow? No, a white storm?"
Jiang Yanyan looked up at the sky. She seemed to suddenly remember something and looked over there at the boy who had been marked with the sacrificial arrow and then escaped.
She turned to look at the old man: "It seems your mountain god has an upset stomach."
The old man looked up at the swirling snow and became even more frenzied, cursing in Persian: "The wrath of the ancient spirits will fall upon you, the streams will turn bitter, the pastures will wither, and your lambs will have their necks snapped in the womb!"
The girl's expression remained unchanged, and her tone remained calm as she said, "This is your last chance. Tell me, where is He hiding?"
"Haha, hahaha!"
"Playing the fool? Why bother?"
Jiang Yanyan reached out, grabbed the old man's forehead, and covered his eyes. The old man, who had just been acting crazy, immediately became terrified.
He tried to struggle, but felt his mind sinking into an infinite depth; he tried to move, but his companions held him down tightly.
"You can't, you can't!"
Jiang Yanyan chuckled and said, "So you can speak Chinese."
The old man pleaded, weeping, "Please, please, please!"
After a while, he stopped struggling and his expression became peaceful. The two people beside him also stopped restraining him.
The old man stood up, straightened his sleeves, and frowned slightly: "It's just a Star Cocoon Realm cultivator, yet it took so much effort and resulted in the loss of so many memories?"
He was sorting through the synchronized memories: "It's in Sifang Salt Village? Where exactly is that? Never mind, let's go back to Yandong Village first."
The dozen or so men in black robes moved in unison, cleaning up the scene. However, just as everyone was about to leave, someone was approaching from a distance.
"Burning! Burning!"
"Yan Yan, are you alright?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yanyan looked at her comrades behind her, put her hands together, and said, "You've worked hard. Everyone, find a corner and commit suicide."
The group of men in black robes bowed to Jiang Yan Yan, and then, including the old man in the Star Cocoon Realm, they all disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Yanyan looked over there at the group of young people rushing towards her.
They managed to escape; these young people are surprisingly capable.
Playing house with them? No way. Today's been too exhausting. Oh well, I'll rest for a bit!
Standing still, Jiang Yanyan suddenly felt dizzy.
She shook her head and vaguely heard someone calling her name and running towards her; it seemed to be her companion.
Several young people ran over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Jiang Yanyan was safe and sound.
"Yan Yan, we're so worried about you! What's going on with those people? I need to go back and ask Father to send men to arrest them all!"
"They actually dared to imprison us, and it seems they're going to hold some kind of terrifying ceremony. I'm definitely going to tell my older brother in the Senate when I get back, and have him send troops to level this hill!"
"By the way, Yan Yan, how did you escape from those people? They suddenly took you away, it really scared us to death!"
"Huh, why is it snowing so heavily all of a sudden? That's strange. Since we've already escaped, why don't we go back to Yandong Village to take shelter?"
The group of friends were chattering away. Jiang Yanyan was still a little dazed, but as she listened to what they were saying, she vaguely remembered something.
Oh right, she and her companions went out for training, and it seems they were attacked by a group of strange people and imprisoned. Later, she was taken away alone, and then what happened next? Hmm—I have absolutely no idea what happened.
"Ah, Yan Yan!"
A girl in the group, seeing the dozens, even hundreds, of salt-shelled lizard carcasses behind Jiang Yanyan, exclaimed in horror, "Did you kill these salt-shelled lizards?!"
When everyone saw the mountain of corpses in front of them, they were all horrified.
Although Jiang Yanyan is their captain, she rarely takes action. All that is known is that she is a genius warrior who inherited the top profession of the Great Yu royal family, the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire Master!
Jiang Yanyan turned around and was also startled. My God, how come there are so many monsters!
What exactly happened? What on earth happened?!
Although she didn't understand what was going on, seeing the admiring looks on her companions' faces, Jiang Yanyan calmly nodded: "I only made a small move, there's no need to make a fuss."
