Chapter 11: Fight and Run (Please recommend)
They were on a dilapidated dirt road overgrown with weeds. There was a piece of stone ground next to it, which was also the end of the dirt road.
Master Light Li Yun released a ray of light into the sky.
Soon after, a group of mages who were obviously exhausted came over. They were patrol mages from Team 4.
The leader, who was obviously the leader, said loudly:
"Old Chu, why are you so lax today?"
Chu Yunlong patted the other person's shoulder unhappily.
"You know shit! I'm not bound by rules."
Watching the four teams leave in the cars they came in, Chu Yunlong's smiling face turned serious.
He said to Bai Mo and the other two:
"The demons in Jiufeng Mountain are mainly groups of Jiufeng Raccoons and Gale Wolves with local attributes. Because there are more Raccoon demons here, it is named Jiufeng Raccoon Clan. Most of them are on the mountain. The same is true for Sanfeng. There are also some other lone demons. The main purpose of our patrol is to find out the movements of these demons."
"In one night, we will circle the third peak three times. Sometimes we will run into monsters head-on, but usually we will kill them depending on the situation."
Chu Yunlong paused for a moment, leaving a few seconds for the three to digest the information he had given, before continuing:
"We'll try not to fight the demons tonight."
Zhong Ling and the others nodded, indicating that they understood. However, Jiang Cheng looked at the sky, and saw that the originally clear sky was once again covered with a layer of dark clouds.
"The weather is bad."
Hearing this, Chu Yunlong also glanced at the sky and said, "It may rain tonight. It is more difficult to detect the movements of demons on rainy days. You should be mentally prepared."
Bai Mo and the other two nodded.
The group began to climb the mountain and head into the mountains.
While walking, Zhong Ling had unknowingly stood at the front of the team. Several other mages who were good at displacement also walked to their own suitable positions.
Surround Chu Yunlong, Bai Mo and the other two in the middle.
The roads in the forest were not easy to walk on, and the weeds were even up to their knees. They could only maintain their formation in an orderly manner with the help of night vision equipment.
"There are eight demon nests on the Three Peaks. They are our main targets."
The ability of the mind system transmitted Chu Yunlong's words to the ears of Bai Mo and the other two.
Bai Mo calculated in his mind that there were fifty demons in one nest, and eight nests meant four hundred demons. It didn't sound like a lot.
But after a few minutes, through the woods, in the open mountain area, I saw a group of demons playing and roaring before my eyes.
Hiding in the shadows, he felt a terrifying evil aura, as if he was facing a violent storm or a boulder falling on his head.
The horror of his life being threatened almost made him lose the magic he had prepared.
That was the breath of a warlord-level demon! Bai Mo's eyes were fixed on the two giant raccoon monsters that were sleeping soundly in the middle of the mountain.
It has a fox-like face, but a dog-like body. Four giant paws, larger than off-road vehicles, overlap in front of it. Even when it's crawling, it's as tall as a two-story building.
The invisible wind blew across the lake of the soul, causing Bai Mo and the other two, who were originally tense, to relax. Then Chu Yunlong's words echoed in their hearts.
"Jiufeng Mountain is the best habitat for the Jiufeng raccoon population. Generally speaking, they are willing to stay on the mountain. This is the normal situation. If we find that they are becoming restless, or their numbers are increasing or decreasing on a large scale, we need to find out the reasons and prepare for any unexpected events."
After recording this group of demons, the nine people headed towards their next destination.
Accompanied by a loud thunder, more and more raindrops fell on the ground.
Everyone had to stop and let Zhou Tianyuan and Chu Yunlong put on water protection for everyone before they continued to move forward.
Although the interference of rain made the exploration work a little troublesome, with Chu Yunlong's mind tied to them, they were much more convenient along the way. They could avoid the hunting and fighting between demons that occurred from time to time in the mountains and forests.
Hunters hiding in the dark cannot escape Chu Yunlong's perception, but there are always special circumstances.
For example, the extremely fast Wind Wolf, with its keen sense of smell, swift speed, and a pair of sharp eyes in the dark.
Let it be the king of the jungle in the dark night.
When Chu Yunlong sensed what it was, it had already appeared in front of everyone, leaving them no room to move.
Bai Mo finally understood why there were still head-on encounters with monsters despite the presence of so many displacement mages and the psychic mage Chu Yunlong.
The Swift Wolf in front of him was only two sizes larger than a normal wolf. What caught his attention was its limbs that were longer than those of ordinary wolf monsters and its pair of strange blue eyes.
The sudden encounter caused the water defense on Zhong Ling's body to explode.
"Water Guardian - Cycle!"
In just a moment, a silken stream of water once again surrounded Zhong Ling, who was at the front. The endless torrent blocked the claw attack of the Swift Wind Wolf.
Then it exploded with a bang into countless splashes of water, covering a ball of hot flames in front of the Wind Wolf.
"Fire-Explosion!"
With a snap of Zhong Ling's fingers, the red fireball suddenly exploded.
All this was coordinated too perfectly. The Wind Wolf had just recovered from the awkward feeling of being scratched by its claws, and its agile body allowed it to easily dodge the fireball.
But what it didn't expect was that this was an explosion of fire. The exploding fireball directly shattered half of its body, and the remaining fire waves steamed up a large amount of water vapor, igniting its body.
Although it is not dead yet, half of its body is missing and it is in this jungle, so its fate is already determined.
"Move!" Chu Yunlong shouted quickly, with no intention of letting anyone else finish him off. Zhong Ling also had no such idea, but took two steps back and stood next to the Shadow Mage.
Then the wind track appeared first, followed by the ground waves, and the shadows floated, and everyone disappeared on the spot as if they had not appeared.
Only a dying Swift Wolf and the smell of blood on its body were left, which was washed away by the rain.
"Many demons in Jiufeng Mountain are fast, so we can't linger in a fight. We have to end the battle within a few seconds. If we can't, we have to evacuate quickly!"
After the nine people avoided the place where the battle had just taken place, they continued to move forward. Chu Yunlong took the time to say this to Bai Mo and the other two.
The three nodded, indicating that they understood. At the same time, they also knew why a team had so many displacement mages.
The feeling of hitting and running away is really thrilling!
However, Zhou Tianyuan and Zhao Qingying felt that it was a bit too exciting. They brushed past the demon's head, tail and butt several times.
This was a bit too much for them to bear.
Bai Mo was in a better situation, he was already at the third level of the beginner stage, and he was just frightened by a general-level demon.
Facing these slaves again, he even felt that he could leisurely use his virtual claws to rub the heads of these demons.
Anyway, just run after rua. So what if you are a speed type? Six of us among the nine are like that.
After exploring the three peaks, everyone started the second exploration.
The main goal this time was to observe the fight between the demons. If it was a fight born out of nature, such as hunting, then there was no need to worry about it.
If it is something else, such as some special treasures, you can record and observe them, and then make them into a task and hand them over to the Hunter Alliance or handle them internally.
If you encounter a high-frequency fighting between two groups of demons, you need to pay special attention.
The strength of the various demon tribes in Jiufeng Mountain is maintained in a relatively balanced state. Suppose two or more groups of demons really fight each other.
That means that the strength of a group of demons has greatly increased or is about to greatly increase, which is of particular concern to the mages of the garrison army.
Currently, there is only one commander-level wind spirit raccoon in Jiufeng Mountain. If another commander appears, war is bound to break out here.
Jiufeng Mountain is not far from the Magic City.
The last lap was to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. The thunderclouds dissipated, and when the last lap was completed, the sky turned pale.
The people who had not slept all night saw the light rising in the sky, completed the shift handover with Team 6, and returned to Zhongjian Town.
In the dormitory, Zhou Tianyuan, who was lying on the bed, spoke quietly:
"Bai Mo, why do I feel that this experience assessment is not difficult?"
"This is only the first day, Lao Zhou. Captain Chu didn't let us do anything last night. Mages like you and me who have defensive or destructive abilities need to follow the displacement mages to explore in depth like Sister Zhong Ling. It's hard to see clearly just by looking from the outside. Sister Zhong Ling worked hard last night."
Bai Mo said leisurely, "And after the adaptation period is over, we will definitely have to face demons. We encountered them six times last night. This is the case when Captain Chu tried his best to avoid them."
"Hey, can't you say something nice? You're just scaring me."
"I am just stating the facts."
One of the other three students from Group 4 who were silently listening to the two people's conversation said in surprise with a pale face:
"Did you encounter demons six times last night? We encountered them more than ten times and were almost surrounded."
"Is it so thrilling?" Zhou Tianyuan exclaimed.
"Their captain isn't a psychic, and it rained last night, so that's normal."
Bai Mo said lightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In the next two days, under the arrangement of Captain Chu, Bai Mo and the other two also had their own positions and responsibilities in the team, instead of being protected like on the first night.
Two days of patrolling also gave the three of them a basic understanding of what they were going to do.
However, Zhou Tianyuan and Zhao Qingying still felt a little nervous when facing the monsters. Besides, their magic rendering speed was not as fast as those of the old wizards.
But in Chu Yunlong's words: "It seems to be true!"
The following days were all about getting familiar with the subject and persevering. Bai Mo felt that this Jiufeng Mountain was more of a gathering place for demons that humans were on guard against.
It is better to say that it is the training ground for the magic city army mages, because after getting familiar with it for the past few days, he also has some understanding of the Nine Peaks in the middle town.
The patrol teams of the nine teams on each peak were not fixed, but were replaced every month. The replaced teams were basically training, and the captains of each team were mid-level mages who had not mastered mid-level magic.
The military commanders of each peak were high-level mages who had not mastered high-level magic, and the highest commander they met at first, Gu Changying, also known as Gu Juntong, was a super-level sound wizard, but he had not yet mastered super-level magic.
Bai Mo knew that even though Mo Fan mastered magic very quickly in the original novel, for an ordinary mid-level mage, the time required to master a mid-level spell was no shorter than the time it took for them to go from being a rookie who didn't know magic to becoming a beginner mage who used magic with difficulty.
So don't raise the level or super level.
And the configuration of Jiufeng Mountain is just to guard against a tribe of demons?
Bai Mo thought it was a bit outrageous.
When Bai Mo thought that he would be able to spend the next half month smoothly, what happened before his eyes made him doubt again.
"Telekinesis - Void Claw!"
An invisible force brought a gray fox-faced demon in front of everyone. It was a dead demon and its heart was missing.
"Another dead Dustwind Raccoon, and it's missing its heart. Looks like the wound was done by the Wind Wolf!"
After checking the dead Dust Wind Raccoon, Bai Mo remembered that Chu Yunlong had told them on the first night to pay attention to the high frequency of conflicts between the two tribes. So he said to Chu Yunlong who was standing in the middle of the crowd:
"Captain Chu, have we encountered too many dead Dust Wind Raccoons like this recently?"
