Chapter 256: Departure
The great battle between the Cyclops leader and Zheng Shu caused great damage, shattering the ground, breaking trees, and blasting rocks in their path.
Rumble!
In the fierce battle, the leader of the cyclops finally seized an opportunity to blast Zheng Shu away, and with an afterimage, he directly broke a big tree with two people hugging more than ten meters away.
But then the big tree exploded into debris as if it had been detonated from the middle with a bomb, and Zheng Shu, who was even more violent, stood up again.
After two layers of law-level curse weakening, Zheng Shu lagged behind the Cyclops leader in all attributes, but only one thing was not affected, and that was the otherworldly defense he had gained from the enhanced template of the lion of Nemea.
In fact, until now, Zheng Shu still hasn't touched the upper limit of his defense, although he has indeed only strengthened less than half of the lion's strengthening template, but even the strongest attack used by Kajon is only a little painful for Zheng Shu.
In battle, sufficient defense can bring enough security, after all, stacking armor is a biological instinct.
After having enough "guarantees", Zheng Shu's fighting style became more and more violent. At the beginning, the reason why he kept dodging the enemy's attacks was because Zheng Shu wanted to achieve the achievement of no damage.
However, this also means that once Zheng Shu's injury-free achievement is broken in battle, then he will tear apart his elegant fighting style and take on the most violent posture.
"Roar!"
Looking at Zheng Shu, who rushed up again in an even more tyrannical manner, the mouth of the cyclops leader let out an angry roar. At this time, the scales on her body were already a little broken, and even the dragon head next to her shoulder was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face, but her eyes also became more fierce, and a huge amount of magic power erupted from her huge body.
She didn't believe that this "monster" couldn't be killed!
As the Cyclops leader's mind moved, the dragon head on her shoulder opened its eyes again.
Thundered!
With Zheng Shu as the center, countless fireballs that appeared out of thin air suddenly exploded, a large number of fireballs fused, and the fireballs that were originally only the size of a human head quickly expanded into a diameter of tens of meters, carrying a high-temperature shock wave and even making the grass in the distance appear scorched.
Feeling the high temperature coming from Zheng Shu's direction, an ugly smile appeared on the face of the cyclops leader, and his huge body quickly moved to Zheng Shu's side, raised his fist and blasted out fiercely to end the battle.
Boom!
There was a dull sound of flesh blowing, but the face of the cyclops leader suddenly changed, as she found that her arm was suddenly clamped and could not be withdrawn.
"I don't have a long memory, have you forgotten what effect you had when you first cast your magic on me?" Zheng Shu's voice came from the firelight.
With the flames of the explosion dissipated, revealing Zheng Shu's current appearance, his body was exuding high temperatures, and the metal skirt armor worn on the lower half of his body had been burned and melted, but in the face of such a terrifying high temperature attack, there was no trace of burns on his skin.
After all, Nemea's lion is not only physically defensive, but also invulnerable to magic, and when Zheng Shu attacked it, Yan Ling, who had consumed most of his physical strength, was still unable to break through the defense.
After strengthening the lion's enhancement template, Zheng Shu also inherited the same level of defense against magic power, and he still hasn't found his limit.
Even if it weren't for the fact that the curse used by the Cyclops leader was law-level, Zheng Shu himself would not have been affected in any way.
"Roar!" Sensing that danger was imminent, the Cyclops leader frantically hammered Zheng Shu's face with his fist.
But now Zheng Shu is unusual, he doesn't dodge at all, and he relies on his thick enough cheek to completely bear the attack of the cyclops leader.
"Are you ready?" Zheng Shu flashed a hideous smile at the Cyclops leader.
Immediately after that, the muscles between the arms swelled, and the magic exploded, directly holding the opponent's arm and picking up the cyclops.
Rumble!
Under Zheng Shu's terrifying power, the earth was smashed and cracked instantly, and countless dirt flew under the impact of power, and a radial shallow pit with a radius of dozens of meters appeared around the landing site of the cyclops leader.
"Drink!"
Before the leader of the cyclops, who was a little dizzy, could react, Zheng Shu let out another roar, let go of her arm and picked up her thigh, slamming it the ground on the other side.
Rumble!
Then turn around and do it again!
Rumble!
The leader of the cyclops had already sensed the danger she was about to encounter, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free of Zheng Shu's clinging arms, and could only be passively smashed down.
Boom Boom!
Under Zheng Shu's continuous decay and fall, the Cyclops leader could no longer withstand such injuries and lost his breath of life.
The scales of her skull and the dragon's head on her shoulders were completely exploded, and blood and flesh were splattered, and the huge head was directly blasted into the face of a human being. The bones in the neck were completely broken, leaving only a little skin attached to it.
The moment the dragon head on the shoulders of the cyclops leader closed his eyes, the two layers of curse that Zheng Shu was carrying were also lifted.
So, under the sudden recovery of power, Zheng Shu did not grasp it well and smashed the cyclops leader to the ground again.
Syllable!
This time the sound was no longer as hard as before, in the previous few beatings, the ground around Zheng Shu was compacted quite solid, and after withstanding his full strength this time, the upper body of the cyclops leader burst like a tomato, and all kinds of red, green, and red liquids splashed all over the ground.
"it!" Startled by the sudden sight, Zheng Shu threw down the lower half of the cyclops leader with some disgust.
"Although you don't like people's marriage proposals, you won't beat him so badly." Caron's voice came from the side, and he walked over to his students when the battle was over.
"Teacher, don't tease me." Zheng Shu looked disgusted, "Let's save people first." ”
"Don't worry, I already rescued them when you were fighting." Charon smiled softly, "Also, remember to hide your own ears and tail. ”
When Zheng Shu heard Caron's words, he immediately reached out and touched his head, as expected, because the previous battle was too fierce, he unconsciously stretched the lion's ears above his head.
As for the tail, the Cyclops leader's final burst of magic completely burned his clothes. In addition to the skirt armor made of metal on his body, which barely maintained its final form, Zheng Shu was the only tail left on his body, still wrapped around his waist and pretending to be a belt.
But fortunately, Caron seems to be a person who has faced strong winds and waves, and he does not show too many strange emotions about Zheng Shu's special appearance.
The ears trembled unconsciously, controlling the ear muscles to let it lie under his hair, Zheng Shu walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the teacher who had left.
Glancing at the students who had followed behind him, Caron smiled with satisfaction, and both the master and apprentice tacitly agreed not to bother with the ears and tails.
After packing up the things on the altar a little, the two came to a cave far away from the battle site, and Zheng Shu saw the group of villagers who had been rescued by Karon. Most of them are women, and a small number of men.
As Caron said before, the Cyclops group has a similar aesthetic to humans, and the leader of the Cyclops who caused the chaos this time is a female herself, so all the subordinates she collects are males.
This means that not all male cyclops can be favored by their leader, so some cyclops will choose to raid female villagers in distant villages.
In the process, some of the Cyclops don't have good eyes, so it's possible that the predatory villagers are not of the right gender.
Fortunately, although there is a huge difference in size, the physical fitness of the villagers of Shendai is quite good, so there are no major casualties.
Seeing Zheng Shu coming over, there was a commotion in the crowd, and these rescued women all showed a look of fear.
After all, Zheng Shu's figure is too similar to that group of cyclops, plus he had just had a brutal battle with the leader of the cyclops, the violent momentum on Zheng Shu's body has not completely dissipated, and it is normal for these villagers with psychological shadows to be afraid.
"Looking at them like this, I shouldn't be suitable to show my face in front of them, teacher, you deal with these people, I'll go and clean up the battlefield first." Zheng Shu shrugged, but he didn't feel too angry, after all, he was already familiar with this look of fear.
"Well, well." Charon sighed helplessly.
……
……
Dealing with the unexpected troubles of these villagers, Zheng Shu gave everyone a little homemade fried noodles after Karong explained it clearly, not only to let them use this thing as food on the road, but also to promote the concept of "instant noodles" as much as possible.
The only thing that made Zheng Shu's head full of black lines was that among the group of villagers who came to answer, I don't know who recognized Zheng Shu and shouted the Demon King. If it weren't for the fact that Caron was still by his side at that time, Zheng Shu almost thought that he had crossed over again.
Later, Zheng Shu learned that the title of "Demon King" was heard by the villager from a villager who professed to believe in Lord Hades during a transaction trip to the town.
According to the other party, this demon king is tall, fierce-looking, and extremely ruthless in battle, all the enemies he killed can't find a whole corpse, and he also likes to give a thing called "instant noodles" to the people he saved after the battle.
However, although he is particularly ruthless to his enemies, this "Demon King" is unusually kind to ordinary villagers, and he wanders around to promote the belief of the gods, so he will not ask for payment even if he saves the village.
Therefore, among the villagers of that village, this mysterious man was called "the benevolent demon king".
After hearing this title, others were embarrassed or not, Zheng Shu didn't know, Zheng Shu only knew that he had already wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Especially when the rescued villagers took out the "instant noodles" they had just given them, even Mr. Karon's gaze at him changed strangely.
Zheng Shu probably only saw this gaze in the eyes of the school teacher at that time when he was in the second grade of Qianshi Junior High School.
"Looks like my student is still a child." These were the first words spoken by Caron after seeing off the villagers.
Zheng Shu, who was already on the verge of exploding because of too much shame, completely exploded after hearing this, so that night, the beasts in the entire mountain range were devastated by an unknown existence - even the brown bear sleeping in his cave was dragged out and beaten.
……
……
"When you go out, remember not to trust others casually, don't eat the food given by strangers, and don't casually agree to some seemingly simple requests, if you see any people who behave strangely, you must stay away." Keron was babbling something as he stuffed all sorts of things into the backpack behind Zheng Shu.
After listening to it for a long time, Zheng Shu finally couldn't help but remind his teacher: "Teacher, I'm already an adult, you don't need to worry so much......"
"Ah...... That's right, too. Caron smiled awkwardly, "In short, if someone does something perverted to you, you can do it directly, don't show mercy to your subordinates......"
Zheng Shu sighed helplessly with a backpack as big as his own, since learning about Zheng Shu's shameful title in the outside world, Caron's attitude towards Zheng Shu has changed to a certain extent.
It's not that it's better or worse, it's mainly that Caron always has a feeling of caring for children when he treats Zheng Shu.
What's even more terrifying is that when he thought that his shameful title had been spread, Zheng Shu wanted to travel back to the time point of the village he had saved before, and pressed the village chief to the ground and rubbed it vigorously.
I have no grievances with Your Excellency, why do you want to do such a desperate thing?! But it's a bit late to say this now, Zheng Shu can only make up his mind to emphasize that when he saves people in the future, he will get rid of this title as much as possible.
At this time, after finishing speaking, Kajon originally wanted to stuff something more into Zheng Shu's backpack, but after taking a look at the backpack that was already bigger than his own size, he smiled and put away the herbs in his hand:
"Okay, the lion cubs also have a day to leave the lion pack, don't miss the teacher too much, go ahead!"
"It's obviously a teacher, you can't bear to let me leave, right?" Zheng Shu silently complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this.
Adjusting the position of the backpack behind his back, Zheng Shu bowed slightly towards Karon: "Thank you for teaching during this period of time, then I'll go." ”
"Well, go ahead!"
