Chapter 51: Solving the Crisis and Dealing with the Aftermath
After a long battle, the corpse tide has decreased a lot, and only a few C-level and above alien beasts and corpses are left. In order to prevent further deaths and injuries among the students, the instructors were responsible for pestering them and allowing most of the students to evacuate.
And the addition of Nangong Qing, Dugu Yan and Feng Jiu, the three new forces, suddenly made the balance of victory close to the academy. The three of them went to help their mentor in need, and Feng Jiu naturally chose to help his mentor Mo Bing fight the ghoul beast.
The Ghoul is a very dangerous beast that eats carrion, but it will also bite and devour the living. It was very ugly, rotten all over, lifeless, with a misfigured face, and looked like a giant dog with a mouthful of fangs.
Mo Bing could only use the black ice to barely delay and trap the ghoul beast, unable to kill it at all, but instead making it more ferocious, often rushing towards her, shaking the ground and putting her in a precarious situation.
After Feng Jiu joined, Mo Bing's situation suddenly became optimistic. He used many Chaos Blue Lotuses to surround the void cyan fire cage, trapping the ghoul beast in it, and enjoying the burning of the flames.
The corpse eater roared again and again, and it had to be said that Feng Jiu's Chaos Blue Lotus Fire was too restrained against it, and in order to desperately escape from the fire cage, it spit out a large amount of highly poisonous and rotten aura, forming smoke and spreading in all directions.
Mo Binghua's face was pale, and she immediately advised Feng Jiudao: "It's not good, this is the carrion fog of the corpse eater, it has deadly poison, once it is stained with corpse bones, Feng Jiu, let's hurry up and hide far away!"
Feng Jiu shook his head and chuckled, "Don't worry, Mentor Mo Bing, this bit of poison is not in my eyes yet, it will purify it completely." The ghouls are only struggling in vain, we will not be in danger!"
"But-" Mo Bing was anxious, the corpse mist's carrion was so poisonous, how could it be incinerated and purified by a different fire? It would only make it spread faster, at this moment, wouldn't Feng Jiu be asking for death if he wanted to say big things?
But then Mo Bing saw a scene that made her stunned, the corpse mist's carrion actually decomposed like ice and snow melting after touching that kind of void cyan fire, and was burned to smoke.
"This-what kind of strange fire is this, even the carrion mist can be incinerated and purified, it's too terrifying!" Mo Bing was shocked, when Feng Jiu duel with Zhang Mingfeng before, she felt that the strange fire he released was unusual, but she didn't expect it to be so unexpected, and there was this ability to purify the poison.
So after the carrion fog was ineffective, the ghoul beast languished for a while, and was finally incinerated into a pile of ashes unwillingly. On the other two sides, Nangong Qing and Dugu Yan helped the other tutors to deal with the steel corpse and the one-eyed wolf, and the remaining alien beasts and corpses were also killed together with the remaining tutors and students, and the Southern Wilderness Academy finally regained peace.
It's just that after this battle, not only did the guards and students suffer many casualties, but even several parts of the academy were damaged to the core, and the academy suffered heavy losses, and it cost a lot of money to repair and compensate for it.
After Dugu Yan investigated the damage and reported it to Nangong Qing, he immediately became sunk.
Then Nangong Qing gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This group of strange beasts and corpses will definitely not attack the Southern Wilderness Academy for no reason, combined with the fact that Feng Jiu was besieged and attacked by the Zhang family's killers before, I can be sure that this matter was done by the Zhang family, they are too bold, do they really not take me as the dean in their eyes?"
Feng Jiu was silent for a moment, and then apologized: "Speaking of which, I dragged down the academy in this matter, Zhang Mingfeng has a personal vendetta with me, and after the defeat, he used the power of the Longteng Group to besiege me." But they understand that the masters of the Southern Wilderness Academy are like clouds, so they are attacking the east and west, and use the invasion of strange beasts and corpses to attract your attention, so that the Zhang family killer gang can kill me as soon as possible!"
"Child, it's not your fault, you are a member of the academy, and the academy naturally has the responsibility to protect you!" Nangong Qing waved his hand and said solemnly: "But even if we know that it was the Zhang family's doing, but there is no evidence, if we can find evidence of the crime, I can impeach the Zhang family to the Extraordinary Judgment and let them know the price of provoking us neutral forces!"
Feng Jiuyi said in a righteous manner: "Dean, if you want to find evidence of the Zhang family's crimes, leave this matter to me." After all, it is impossible for them to fabricate so many strange beasts and corpses out of thin air, there must be a secret experimental base behind it, and it is very likely to be near the underground of the Longteng Group, as long as I sneak in there successfully, the Zhang family's criminal evidence will be caught!"
"No, kid, this matter is really too dangerous, there are many people with strong security in the Longteng Group, how can you sneak in easily? This matter is over, I will find another way!" Nangong Qing categorically rejected Feng Jiu's proposal, he would definitely not let a proud son of heaven like him die in the Longteng Group, that would be a huge loss to the academy.
"Dean, listen to me, since I am willing to infiltrate the Longteng Group, it means that I am sure, I will not be untargeted! Although it is very dangerous there, I know how to disguise and can adapt to changes, and my own strength is not inferior to the mentors, only I am the most suitable for this great task, I hope you can fulfill it!" Feng Jiu explained reasonably.
Nangong Qing listened to Feng Jiu's words, pondered solemnly, and had to say that his words did have some truth. But at this moment, Dugu Yan persuaded and said: "Dean, since Feng Jiu is willing to infiltrate the headquarters of the Longteng Group to investigate, then let him go, I will also send someone to pick him up, and once he encounters danger, he will definitely do his best to cover him and escape!"
After careful confirmation, Nangong Qing finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay then, Feng Jiu, I hope you can really sneak into the headquarters of the Longteng Group and find out the evidence of their crimes, so that we can bring them to justice and punish them severely." But be careful, and if you can't do anything, go back immediately, I don't want you to be in danger!"
Feng Jiu suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dean, I will definitely be more careful." However, the attack on the academy also started because of me, if I don't compensate for it, I will feel uneasy, so let's do it, I will contribute some funds to repair the academy and compensate the families of the dead and injured, I hope you must not shirk and accept it!"
"Kid, you're too polite, you don't have to be like this!" Nangong Qing was about to excuse himself, but after seeing the so-called funds that Feng Jiu took out, he was immediately stunned and asked curiously: "What is this?" It looks a little like gold, but the color is wrong!"
"This is Void Lapis Gold, it was made by refining gold with my own alien fire, it is several times more precious than ordinary gold, a small piece can be worth a fortune, it must be able to make up for the loss of the academy!" Feng Jiu explained indifferently.
Nangong Qing took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Child, you are really a genius who has never been seen before or since, and it is the first time I have seen you to be able to refine ordinary gold into such a form." Since you are so enthusiastic, then I will accept your kindness, thank you so much, the academy really needs a lot of money to deal with the aftermath!"
After hearing Nangong Qing's praise, Feng Jiu just smiled faintly and said: "Dean, this is what I should do, after all, as a member of the academy, and being so valued by you, I have to contribute something!"
"Son, you are not only superior in strength, but also in such good character, that I cannot but be in awe. Since you want to contribute, it just so happens that I also have a pile of gold in my private collection, why don't you help me refine it like this?" Nangong Qing smiled and couldn't help but propose.
"Uh——?" Feng Jiu was speechless for a while, it turned out that Nangong Qing praised him for this purpose, this old and unserious. However, seeing him looking at him so eagerly, he could only reluctantly accept it: "Okay, Dean, I can help you refine gold, but this matter must be done in secret, in case it is too eye-catching, the people of the entire Southern Wilderness City will come to me to refine gold!"
"Of course, after all, scarcity is precious, if your void lapis is overflowing, it will be worthless, how could I do such a stupid thing?" Nangong Qing showed a look of being a fan of wealth, and then changed his face and said seriously: "But this matter is not in a hurry, Feng Jiu, you go back and rest first, you can set off early tomorrow morning, Xiaoyan and I still have to deal with the aftermath!"
Feng Jiu hummed lightly, said goodbye to Nangong Qing, and found Feng Qian's figure. She looked at him with admiration on her face, and said with great interest: "Brother, you are really powerful, you can kill all those killers by yourself, and you can also help the academy solve such a big crisis." If I could be half as powerful as you, I would be satisfied!"
Feng Jiu sighed and said, "Xiaoqian, you still have a lot of room for development, and sooner or later you will reach the point where I am today." But this matter is not as simple as you imagined, the Zhang family did not kill me this time, next time they will definitely send more thunderous means to deal with me, I must always be vigilant and make myself strong as soon as possible to protect you and my mother's safety!"
"Brother, aren't you in danger next time?" After hearing this, Feng Qian became worried.
"Silly Xiaoqian, despite the bad future, you believe me, I will never fall, after all, there are still you waiting for me to go home!" Feng Jiu touched Feng Qian's little head and comforted.
"Well, brother, I will always believe in you, I believe that you will be able to return safely!" Feng Qian cried with joy and continued to be concerned: "But brother, it is said that you will infiltrate the headquarters of the Longteng Group tomorrow, you must be more careful, I will always wait for you to come back, after all, you still have a lot to teach me!"
Feng Jiu nodded and said softly: "Well, Xiaoqian, I promise you that my brother will never abandon you." It's getting late, let's go rest, I have to go back to my dorm!"
So the brothers and sisters of the Feng family reluctantly said goodbye, and Feng Jiu returned to his room, thinking about how to sneak into the Longteng Group tomorrow......
