As a well-known aquatic elf, Zheng Qing is no stranger to kappa.

A bird's beak, a round head, pointed ears, a heavy shield, and a jade disc that always rests on the door of the head. Every wizard is familiar with these traits.

Zheng Qing encountered this magical creature during his first night patrol.

It was a kappa weeping under the moon, and its companion had been kidnapped by the swarm of Sand Hour insects—at that time, the kappa had left Zheng Qing with the impression of a strange creature with a thin voice and a beautiful jade plate on its head.

And now, Zheng Qing once again encountered a kappa blocking the road while on patrol.

Or rather, the monster in front of him was once a kappa.

Removing its scarlet eyes and bulging tangled muscles, the young wizard could vaguely make out the traces of the monster's pointed mouth and round head, jade plate, and tortoiseshell on its back.

It's just that the tortoise shell has been broken by its suddenly swollen skeleton, and the jade plate on the top of the head has also been cracked into pieces of broken jade.

The kappa's usual shrill voice turned into a low roar, and a sparse saliva trickled from the corners of his mouth.

"Wild Demon..."Lin Guo groaned in a low voice, "so close...... It's over......"

......

The slopes of the lake are planted with a wide variety of herbaceous plants, occasionally dotted with lush bushes.

The kappa demon stood silently in the shadow of a bush, motionless.

The demon didn't pounce on it first.

It was puffing out its small scarlet eyes, looking up at the moon in mid-air, and its expression was a little confused.

Perhaps the instincts that remained in its body were still guiding it to enjoy the moonlight slowly falling from the sky, but these remnants of instinct quickly collapsed under the lure of the aroma of food.

Its nose fluttered violently, its throat let out a painful roar, and it fell on all fours, slowly, step by step, and crawled upward.

Sharp claws turn the soft grass into deep pits.

......

Zheng Qing looked at the pair of blood-red eyes not far away, and could clearly feel the hatred and greed in them.

The demons' abomination of wizards.

The demon's greed for the flesh and blood of wizards.

This is a deep imprint in the blood of wizards and demons, and it is the heaviest memory after a long and tragic battle.

Any wizard who sees such a look will no longer have the slightest illusion.

Zheng Qing slowly dragged the little witch behind him, his face turned pale, but his brain was surprisingly clear.

He was even in the mood to tell the difference between the kappa-turned-wild demon and the pig demon in Damingfang.

Obviously, the transformation form of the pig demon in Damingfang is very thorough, except for the three-layer chin, it has almost completely transformed into another creature.

The form of the kappa demon in front of him has not changed too much, but the fangs in the mouth have stretched out into fangs that roll up and down, and the skeleton is much taller than that of ordinary kappa, and thick black long hair has grown up and down the body.

"Will it be Oster's Guardian?" Zheng Qing's lips quirmed and he asked softly.

"No, it won't. Lin Guo replied in a softer voice.

"That'...... Can you run?" Zheng Qing paused and asked again.

“...... The feet are weak. The little wizard's reply was visibly weeping.

"Whew......" Zheng Qing let out a long breath and slowly opened the law book in his hand.

Thankfully, he hadn't had time to stuff the book back before he could finish holding the bird, and the spells transcribed on the pages glistened in the moonlight, giving him a little more courage out of thin air.

This is the third time he has faced a wild demon.

The first time in Damingfang, facing the wild boar demon rampaging on the street, his whole body was stiff, his mind was blank, and there was not a single spell on the new magic book, if it weren't for Thomas's thunder spell, not the meditation talisman that happened to fall on the pig's nose, maybe he would have been imprisoned in the legendary black prison at this moment.

The second time on the admission plane, facing the gaudy banshee, he was creepy, clumsy, and had no power to fight back. If his companions hadn't resisted, the banshee would have tied him up and fled before the plane's escorts stormed the restaurant.

This is the third time.

His fingers touched the cold piece of copper on his chest.

His eyes fell on the kappa demon in the slope, and his spirit had calmed down a lot.

"Far from it. He grunted, his fingers sliding over the mantra copied from the Dharma book.

Compared to the wild boar that went on a rampage, and the banshee who was ravaging the plane, this kappa was far inferior in size and momentum.

And the self a month ago is far from the current self.

......

Lin Guo's big black goat followed the wild demon's slow upward steps, and retreated diagonally.

It always hunched its back, its head down, and a bouncing posture at any time.

This threat is obvious to the kappa.

Although it did not have too much intelligence, its instinct told it not to face two enemies at the same time, and not to expose its fragile back to the dangerous cloven-hoofed animal.

Lin Guo tugged at Zheng Qing's robe tightly and poked out half of his head worriedly.

He was worried about his big goat, which depended on him for his life.

......

Pale green light slowly overflowed from between Zheng Qing's Dharma books.

As if sensing the uneasy atmosphere in the air, the wild demon finally gave up his plan to take the camp step by step.

It stood up, its mouth open, and roared silently.

Coercion!

Zheng Qing immediately judged this familiar feeling.

This is the usual method of mental impact used by demons, which can greatly interfere with the wizards' casting of spells. It's just that compared with the banshee on the special plane, this kappa demon is more than one layer weaker.

But knowing doesn't mean you're able to withstand it, and not everyone can withstand this silent impact.

Lin Guo snorted, his body softened, he let go of the corner of the robe in his hand, and fell to the ground softly.

Zheng Qing felt as if his head was cracking open again.

The scene in front of me seems to turn into slow motion.

He saw the wild demon on the slope with its thick and stiff hair blowing up, and the flesh between its muzzles was turned out because it was too open, revealing its scarlet gums and intact, miserable white fangs.

He also saw the black goat, the lawn under its hooves bursting open, bowing its head and back, like an arrow off the string, smashing heavily into the wild demon not far away.

"Boom!"

The demon's body tilted, and the black goat's large horns slammed into the kappa demon's back armor.

There was a dull cracking sound from the shield-shaped armor, and the corners of the kappa's eyes opened, and the eyeballs seemed to be knocked out by this force, and the black goat was in an even more embarrassing situation, unable to stand at all under the force of the shock, and rolled down the slope, and almost fell into the lake.

"Boom!"

The heavy impact sound was like a flood bell Da Lu, resounding in Zheng Qing's mind, and it also freed him from the spiritual impact of the wild demon just now.
