Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A flash of light streaked across the sky and landed at the edge of the woods, a loud sound that stopped both humans and monsters in the midst of a fierce battle.

"Captain, what's going on?"

"I don't know, it looks like something fell there. ”

"Oops, that's where the mastiff cubs stay. ”

"Sharon, what do you mean by that?"

"Meaning, we might have a hard time making it to dawn. Hao Sigao, let the seriously injured people clean up and prepare to withdraw first. ”

"Commander...... Be. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Phew~Bah~" Spit out the mess that ran into his mouth, Lu Chen looked vigilantly at the smoke-filled surroundings.

The trees had been smashed in a circle, and he was sitting in a shallow dirt pit, and there was a faint fishy smell nearby.

"What does it smell like? It's a little familiar, like ...... Blood?!" As soon as he came to a conclusion, Lu Chen saw a very terrifying scene.

Behind the fading smoke, more than a dozen red points of light lit up, swaying slightly like ghost fire in the woods where the starlight could not be seen.

Lu Chen didn't think that it was a firefly comforting himself, and this was not a ghostly cemetery, coupled with a slight but clear low whimper, the name "wolf pack" naturally came to mind.

Sure enough, the strange left eye immediately confirmed his guess, but after seeing the true face of the "wolf pack", Lu Chen began to swallow his saliva constantly, his body trembled instinctively, and fear occupied all his thoughts at the moment.

The calf-like body, the black fur, the red mane like a blazing fire, and the sharp gums of teeth like a saw, all reveal their bloodthirstiness and strength.

What made Lu Chen even more unbearable was that there were several of their own species standing behind them, two or three times their size, with dagger-like fangs in their mouths, which were obviously adult beasts that were guarding them.

"Woo~"

Maybe it was because the smoke and dust hadn't cleared yet, maybe it was the huge momentum of the landing, or maybe for the safety of the young beasts, the "wolf pack" did not immediately attack Lu Chen, but under the leadership of several huge adult beasts, they raised their heads to the sky and roared.

Then, as if in response, more long howls followed, and for a moment, it seemed as if the whole forest was a giant beast.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"What is this ~ and what is the situation...... Hill. ”

"I don't know...... But this amount is ...... Team, no, Hausgaard, it seems that I can't get through this time, if you can still find me after dawn...... My ......"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, you kid, even if you go to the underworld, you can only be my follower. Everyone put on the crossbow arrows, and the bonfire will be bright again, and Lao Tzu will not believe that these beasts will not only be killed. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"This can be regarded as an otherworldly version of 'just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den'. Hehe,It seems that I can't buy lottery tickets.,This crossing is obviously memorized to the extreme.,I just don't know if the scrolls that the teacher gave me will be expired.。 Lu Chen thought to himself, the approaching roars and invisible retreats made him calm down instead.

According to what the teacher taught, Lu Chenxun connected his consciousness to the space ring, and rummaged through the magic scroll inside, which was the only thing he relied on, and it was also the strongest.

Without wasting much time to think, Lu Chen directly took out the two red scrolls, and the habitual thinking of beasts afraid of fire made him choose fire-based magic.

The principle of striking first is generally universal, and Lu Chen did not hesitate to release two magic spells that he didn't know the names of at all towards the place where the "wolf pack" was.

First, a large wall of fire rose in the calf, and then a basin-sized fireball flew out and exploded after hitting one of the cubs. Although the flaming red mane indicates that they are both fire attributes, it does not mean that the flames cannot damage them. Almost instantly, the fire mastiff cubs lined up were ignited, and the howls of death immediately drowned out the other sounds.

With the young beast's mournful scream, the atmosphere in the forest changed, and there was another series of long whistles, only this time it was clearly filled with sadness and anger.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Look, there's a fire there, they're all gone. ”

"It's miserable, I really don't know which idiot did it......"

"Isn't it good to retreat? Sharon, do you really want me to kill them all......"

“...... Hausko...... Let everyone close the formation and evacuate as quickly as possible. ”

"Commander, this ......"

"Go quickly, someone has killed the young beasts of the fire mastiff, there is no room left, now I only hope that the person is strong enough to kill them all, otherwise this group of fire mastiffs will kill humans for the purpose of survival in the future." ”

“...... Be. What about our shipments?"

"Let's stay here for the time being, we can only wait for the fire mastiff to retire and come back, and then how much we can take back depends on fate's arrangement. The head of the regiment looked at Sharon beside him as he spoke, and it was not until the other party nodded in agreement that he breathed a sigh of relief.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at the young beast struggling in the fire, Lu Chen's heart was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't plan to stop there.

He has just started to cultivate, and his contact with this world is also very shallow, so it is impossible to fight with his real strength, and before he becomes stronger, he can only use things like scrolls to protect himself; and after fighting with the eighth-order assassins, he also clearly feels that the strength of the demonic beast in front of him is much worse, but it is much stronger than himself, and it is just used as the practice object of the teacher's "familiar scroll", so it is still necessary to waste some scrolls.

As for whether the scrolls in the space ring were enough, Lu Chen had already stopped thinking about it after rummaging through it just now, and he was very skeptical that the teacher had given him the entire warehouse.

Several adult beasts didn't intend to give Lu Chen too much time, and after Wailing passed the message, they pounced on Lu Chen, not caring at all about the fur that burned the little sparks.

Lu Chen didn't feel much surprise at the leap of adult beasts that were not afraid of flames, no matter how you look at it, it should be a demonic beast, and it is reasonable not to be afraid of flames, it is that kind of flame that does not seem to have any effect on adult them, which makes his heart a little terrified.

The previous two scrolls Lu Chen noticed that the number of stars on them was three, which meant that the third-order fire magic could not cause substantial damage to them, so to be on the safe side, Lu Chen simply skipped over the four stars, took out a five-star scroll, glanced at it and released it.

It's not that he doesn't want to look at the names on it, it's that time does not allow him to carefully "translate". There is no obstacle in speaking, and there is no problem in writing, but there is still a little bit of a gap in reflexively recognizing other people's handwriting, just like a primary school student reading the prescription of an old Chinese medicine doctor.

It's just that this time Lu Chen frightened himself, and he saw a huge flame suddenly burst out from under the adult beast, shooting straight into the sky like a pillar, and several adult beasts that were enclosed instantly became charcoal, and even the trees in the outermost circle of the pillar of fire were quickly burned out.

"Your sister, these are the five stars? The old man's level, isn't it a strategic missile, no, nuclear bombs are not necessarily, well, absolutely, no wonder it is claimed to be the top of the big 6. Looking at the black line three meters in front of him, Lu Chen could only stand there stupidly.

On the ground, in the middle of a black circle with a diameter of about five meters, there are four burnt lumps of flesh that cannot be seen in their original form, and the outer layer has been shaken off when it falls to the ground, but the inner layer is so black that people have no appetite at all except for the rich burnt fragrance.

"Woo~Woo~"

"Woo~Woo......"

At this time, some of the adult beasts also arrived, and surrounded Lu Chen to death, the loss of companions was nothing, but the death of the young beasts made them all crazy, but instinctively a little afraid of the powerful magic just now, and did not dare to pounce on Lu Chen immediately, after all, the monster is still a beast.

Lu Chen didn't care so much, he already had a judgment, he immediately took out the four-star scroll and smashed it, after all, the teacher said that the third- and fourth-order scrolls were the most, and at the same time, he had already begun to imagine how many magic cores he could collect. The third-order magic can't do much damage, and the fifth-order magic destroys them too cleanly, so these magical beasts are also in the fourth order.

In just an instant, the flame pile, which was not much smaller than the previous pillar of fire, ignited the woods around Lu Chen, and the tongue of fire reflected the night sky red along the towering trees.

"I seem to have been stupid again, setting fire to the forest...... It seems to be a little carried away. Listening to the howling and scurrying sound coming from the bushes, Lu Chen suddenly remembered how terrible what he had done, and countless beads of sweat hung on his head.

Although the fire had not yet burned to his side, Lu Chen still hurriedly took out the blue four-star scroll. It was a water-based magic scroll, and he was going to put out the fire, and he rejoiced in his heart that it was a windless night.

As the fire expanded, the forest gradually quieted down, and it felt almost over, and Lu Chen, who was lying on the ground and enduring the choking smoke and high temperature, couldn't wait to release the water scroll in his hand.

A whirlpool large enough to envelop one person appeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes and swept past in the direction specified in advance.

To be on the safe side, Lu Chen only released the scroll in one direction, and although the voice of the adult beast had basically disappeared, he was still a little uneasy.

I don't know if the timeliness of the fire magic has passed, but the whirlpool lightly extinguished the fire where it passed, and the wet place did not let the flames rekindle again, becoming an obvious dividing line.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved so simply, Lu Chen's spirit immediately came up, took a dagger from the spatial ring casually, and walked towards the adult beast that was burned to death by the pillar of fire first.

In fact, when Lu Chen successfully used the first scroll, he was no longer afraid, maybe because he had faced the pressure of the eighth order, or maybe because he had a large number of scrolls in his hands, in short, the fear when he first saw these huge demonic beasts had long since been thrown into which corner.

As for the disgusting feeling of shaving flesh and blood, there is no comparison to the temptation of becoming a rich man.

Relying on the sharp dagger brought out of the tower, Lu Chen easily dug out four crystals the size of a half-thumb from the heads of the four pieces of flesh.

The dark red color, the crystal luster, Lu Chen couldn't put it down in his hand, feeling the abundant fire element in it, and the thought of "how much should the fourth-order demon core be worth" turned in his head, and then his eyes turned to the forest that was still burning.
