Chapter 19: The First Battle of the Demon Forest

There was nothing to say all night, perhaps because this was the outermost part of the demon forest, and the children were not harassed by the demon beasts. The little fat man's medicinal powder can be said to be quite effective, and his companions have not even been bitten by poisonous insects overnight, although his strength is low, but at least judging from his performance in the past two days, it is a wise choice to take him out.

Everyone simply ate some dry food that they carried with them, Bing Xuan and the others put away the array weapons placed in the array, and the group continued to march towards the depths of the demon forest.

Although the road conditions are becoming more and more difficult, fortunately, the children have been mentally prepared, and with the slow realization of the labor-saving method of walking in the jungle, the speed of progress has increased much faster than yesterday.

It was still yesterday's formation, but the children's mentality did not relax at all, but as they continued to deepen, a nervous feeling hit their hearts.

Due to the new arrival in the demon forest and the dim light, the children have deviated from the walking route set for them by the hunting brigade. In line with the purpose of training, and the fierce demon forests on the periphery were relatively scarce, the hunting brigade did not correct their direction, and still followed not far behind.

The exhaustion of the body and the intensity of the light signaled the arrival of noon, and this morning, the children did not take a break halfway, and walked more than 40 miles. Rui, who was exploring ahead, came back and reported that there was a valley not far ahead, which was suitable as a place to rest and eat.

Tian Ke commanded the team to advance quickly, splitting the last few vines, and a beautiful valley came into view. A group of petite beasts drinking and playing by the stream in the valley, this valley is like a paradise.

After entering the valley, the keen mages found that the elemental aura here was much stronger than that outside the valley, and they searched carefully, but they found nothing, so they had to do something hastily.

After a simple camp, the children decided to rest for a while, after all, the deeper they go, the danger is everywhere, and it is wisest to maintain sufficient physical strength.

Fei Yu's bow and arrows were indeed good, and in a short time he shot a strong yellow sheep by the stream. Da Zhuang and the wind also re-entered the forest and picked a lot of berries. Although they need meat to replenish their strength, the three girls prefer light and fragrant berries.

A group of children disemboweled, smeared spices, and set up a fire on the stove in one go. It wasn't long before the mouth-watering smell of meat wafted over the stove. The yellow mutton is fat but not greasy, and the baking sauce goes deep into the meat, so that the three girls also let go of their shyness and feast, and no longer maintain their usual elegant side.

Take a break after dinner, Yue'er, who is a girl, wants to go for convenience, for safety reasons, Tianke arranged for Qiu Die, who is a martial artist, to accompany her, and Shui Yue also went with her, Tianke just told them not to go too far, and send a signal quickly in case of trouble.

The remaining boys were no longer sleepy, they sat together bored and began to chatter, the valley had a wide view, and even the person in charge of guarding felt a lot more relaxed. The rest of the children sat in a circle and began to brag, and as they deepened their understanding, they slowly talked about the "great achievement" of blocking the chimneys of whom's house.

At this moment, the screams of three girls came from behind the mountain. Tian Ke reacted quickly, stood up and drew the broadsword behind his back, beckoning his companions to quickly go to support.

There were three or four hundred meters of galloping all the way, and the big guys were surprised that the girls were so convenient for walking such a long distance. Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Not far away, Qiu Die was moving up and down and entangled with a huge demon beast, but Shui Yue and Yue'er were hiding far away and using spells to support Qiu Die.

I saw that this demon beast's body was more than three meters long, covered with thick brown blocky scale armor, and there were two rows of raised spikes on its back.

"This is a sixth-order demon beast devouring spirit tiger, everyone pay attention to maintaining the formation, Da Zhuang and the wind protect the mage, Feiyu remote support, Rui and I rush forward. Tian Ke quickly made a decision and assigned tasks to everyone.

The sixth-order demon beast already has some spiritual intelligence, coupled with the strong strength of the physical body and the good elemental control ability, it is not to be underestimated. But the newborn calf's people who were not afraid of tigers didn't pay much attention, believing that with the coordination and cooperation of the squad, they would be able to kill the soul devouring tiger.

Bing Xuan and the little fat man quickly ran to Shui Yue and Yue'er, Da Zhuang and Feng stood in front of their sides, carefully guarded, and Fei Yu directly turned over and climbed a low tree.

The three mages quickly summoned their elemental power, and an ice spear of more than two meters and two water pillars of the same size shot towards the Soul Eater Tiger with the feathered arrows of the flying feathers.

The Soul Eater Tiger's body twisted, avoiding the weak points of the scale armor such as the joints, and allowing the human spells and arrows to shoot on the scale armor on its back. The originally invincible arrow did not penetrate the Soul Devourer's scale armor, leaving only a white mark on it.

The Soul Eater Tiger opened its blood basin and roared, and a stone pillar made of earth elementals shot in the direction of the mage.

The three warriors dodged in all directions, their bodies erratic, always vigilant for the Spirit Devouring Tiger's pounce and the powerful Tiger Tail Whip Sweep.

The children had never seen a demon beast manipulating the elements, and they were also panicked for a while. The older Mizuki was the first to react, and a wall of water about five meters wide and nearly three meters high blocked the front of the great strong Wakaze. Bing Xuan also followed, a solid ice shield standing behind the wall of water. Yue'er also reacted, and in a panic, she propped up a small wall of water and stood behind the ice shield, blessing protection.

The stone pillar roared, and the water wall and ice shield in front of it were directly shattered by the shock, and finally plunged into the water wall arranged by Yue'er, stopped the momentum, and fell to the ground.

"This beast's defenses are too strong, and we're in charge of keeping it at bay, and you're aiming it in the eyes. Tian Ke commanded loudly.

After all, the strength of the Spirit Devouring Tiger is not bad, it dodged and dodged the attacks that shot at the eyes many times, and at this moment it completely angered its ferocity, it vented all its hatred on the hateful mage in the distance, and no longer paid attention to the three warriors beside him who were like clowns jumping off the beam, and the four hooves flew up, rushing towards the mage in the distance.

Da Zhuang and Feng immediately became nervous, and behind him was a group of mages with weak physiques, and they tightened their weapons tightly, shouted loudly, and met the rushing Spirit Devouring Tiger. Seeing the Spirit Devouring Tiger running towards the mage, the three of Tianke also shouted and chased after him, hoping to attract the attention of the Spirit Devouring Tiger with their voice.

The Soul Eater was furious, and the man stood up, its claws flapping wildly, flying away the twin axes that slashed at its neck and the spears that pierced its eyes. Immediately after that, the body fell, the waist twisted, turned around, and the tiger's tail swept left and right, pumping towards Da Zhuang and the wind.

At this time, Tian Ke had already chased after him, but in the face of the claws and bloody mouth of the Spirit Devouring Tiger that had turned around, the three of them could only dodge and jump away.

Da Zhuang saw the tiger tail attacking, and in a hurry, the double axe was pulled back and used as a shield to protect his chest and abdomen, but he was still whipped away by the tiger tail, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth for a while. The wind was not so lucky, and although it was also blocked by the handle of the gun, the nimble tiger tail still pumped into his abdomen. The wind was swept aside, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, and passed out.

Tian Ke and the others were shocked when they saw this, Rui quickly jumped out of the battle circle, ran to Feng's side, helped him up, took out a pill from his arms, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Tian Ke and Qiu Die were even more invincible to the ferocity of the Spirit Devouring Tiger, and the two of them flashed left and right. But the Soul Eater's mind was not on them, and after forcing them back, he turned around again and pounced on the four mages who were slowly retreating.
