Chapter 15: Really good at pretending
"Let me introduce you to Ye Feng, Ye Yu, and Niu Ming. They are the original members of Team Five."
In the lounge, Chu Yunlong brought in three people wearing military magician uniforms and said to Bai Mo and the other two.
After greeting each other, Chu Yunlong continued.
"The patrol team's mission has been changed. The patrol location has been changed to one kilometer northwest of the foot of the third peak. The goal is to clear out the demons that have come down the mountain. The commander has transferred me to do other tasks for four days."
At this point, he glanced at the eleven people in the room and said, "For the next four days, you will follow the orders of Zhong Ling and Jiang Cheng!"
"yes!"
In the relatively stable small truck, Zhong Ling was making arrangements for this patrol mission.
"Sister Feng Yu is an ice mage, and Niu Ming is a wind mage. Our main task this time is to fight. We have to block the monsters within a thousand meters. We need to split into two teams! Jiang Cheng and I will lead a few people each."
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ling glanced at everyone, "Ye Feng Ye Yu, Zhao Qingying, Zhou Tianyuan! You follow Jiang Cheng. Everyone else follow me."
She glanced at the remaining shadow mages, light mages, and Bai Mo, and said calmly, "Is everything okay?"
"No!"
Bai Mo felt something was wrong. Through the car window, he saw an identical Mercedes-Benz truck in front and behind on the small dirt road.
Team four and team six? What is this for?
But soon he had no time to think about it because he arrived at his destination.
Normally, there were few demons at the foot of the mountain. Even now, Bai Mo and his team had just arrived at the designated patrol site and cleared out a few blind dust raccoons and giant-eyed fishy rats, but they hadn't found anything for half a day.
Speaking of giant-eyed rats, they can be found everywhere.
It was almost dark, and inside the third peak, there was a bloody storm.
Army commander Yang Biao led a hundred combat troops from the Three Peaks in Zhongjian Town, and Chu Yunlong, a psychic mage who was like a demon detector.
We are conducting a carpet-style cleanup of the demons in the mountains and forests.
"Fire!"
"Thunder Seal!"
"Waterbending!"
In an instant, fire rained like a waterfall, thunder flashed in the clouds, and water silk danced.
The attack and defense were well-organized, and even though they were just elementary magic, they were unstoppable once they were organized.
Army commander Yang Biao was stepping on the earth waves, restraining a giant raccoon monster of the general level.
"Bang~~~~~"
A demonic paw, larger than a millstone and with claws that seemed to be able to cut through iron like mud, slammed heavily onto the ground.
It was like hitting the water. With a loud bang, broken grass and trees mixed with soil and gravel splashed in all directions like water!
"Tsk, that's quite a commotion, but if you want to hit me, you're still a few hundred years away from being able to do it!"
Yang Biao looked at the pile of dirt that fell in front of him and spat in disdain. Fire had quietly risen in his eyes.
A gorgeous red star pattern flashed behind him, igniting the surrounding air. The hot energy condensed in his fist, with a fiery red flame.
"Fierce Fist!"
Yang Biao took a step forward, then bent his knees and half-knelt, and hit the ground in front of him hard with his twisted right fist.
"Nine Palaces!"
He poured the huge amount of energy in his arms into the ground. The rapid pouring caused the surrounding ground to crack!
With Yang Biao's shout, the power reached the critical point and raised a huge pillar of fire under the feet of the giant-palmed raccoon monster.
Pillars of fire rose up one after another into the sky, like angry dragons breaking out of a cage, destroying all land, vegetation, rocks and everything within the range.
After three side-by-side pillars of fire, the ground on both sides cracked again, and six identical giant pillars of molten flame shot straight into the sky.
It formed a nine-square pattern, burning countless slave-level monsters around, and opened up a 100-meter-long scorched earth in the forest.
The flames went out, and the giant-handed raccoon monster turned into a larger pile of charcoal.
Two of the demon's nests were quickly cleared out, and the remaining demons also reacted during this time.
Begin to organize an orderly resistance.
But this cannot stop the military mages from moving forward.
Bai Mo and the others at the foot of the mountain also gradually felt pressured.
Many lone demons fled down the mountain under the pressure of the military wizard.
For example, the sparrow-headed yellow toad, this demon that Bai Mo saw for the first time. The sparrow-headed yellow toad is not a powerful demon, the only thing to be careful of is the pustules on its body.
It contains a deadly poison that will explode from time to time, especially when encountering a collision. Therefore, when seeing the sparrow-headed yellow toad approaching them, Zhong Ling, who was entangled with a two-faced civet cat, shouted:
"Bai Mo! Throw that toad over here!"
"Got it." Bai Mo responded quickly. A silver arc appeared in the space behind him. He faced the sparrow-headed yellow toad and raised his hand to grab it.
"Telekinesis!"
Then a barely perceptible silver light flashed around the bird-headed yellow toad, and then it seemed to be caught by something and floated up.
Bai Mo had an idea and controlled the sparrow-headed yellow toad to smash towards the two-faced civet cat that was pouncing towards Zhong Ling.
"Bang!!!!"
With a crash, most of the shit-yellow pustules on the bird-headed yellow toad's body broke open, visible to the naked eye. Turbid yellow mucus splashed, most of it falling on the two-faced civet cat's body, and a small part fell on the ground.
As the weeds on the ground withered, the two-faced raccoon cat also let out a shrill scream:
“Wow~~~~~~~~!”
Even more disgusting than expected, Bai Mo made his assessment in his mind, but Zhong Ling's praise rang in his ears, "Well done!"
I saw a ball of dazzling flame light up in both of her hands at the same time, and she threw it at the two demons that fell to the ground.
The two-faced civet cat was tormented beyond recognition by the venom, and its muscles were paralyzed. It could only watch the flames fly towards it. Although the sparrow-headed yellow toad was shaken by the impact,
But it still has the ability to move, but it feels that the air around it seems to have condensed and is imprisoning it.
"Explode!" Zhong Ling snapped his fingers, and as he gave the order, two explosions were heard.
“BOOM BOOM!!”
The sun has set and the moon is taking over.
Bai Mo and his team's class were also handed over by a team of military magicians.
"Empty Claw!"
Snap!
With a loud crisp sound, Bai Mo twisted the head of the Wind Soul Rabbit, which was as tall as a person, 360 degrees in front of him, and no more monsters came down from the three peaks.
The instruction to end the patrol soon came. After returning to Zhongjian Town with Zhou Tianyuan and being called to the Central Square by the class teacher Suning, Bai Mo, like other high school sophomores in the square, learned about his grades.
First place, S+, White Ink
"I remember someone said that I would only get an S this time." Zhou Tianyuan looked at his S- result, but he did not seem dissatisfied. Instead, he spoke to Bai Mo in a low voice.
"If I accidentally perform poorly, there's nothing I can do."
"You are truly a space mage."
"What?"
"You're such a good pretender!" Zhou Tianyuan uttered these three words slowly, he couldn't help but say it out.
Bai Mo ignored him and put his hands behind his back, acting like a master.
Just kidding, the classmates around are watching us. How can I waste such a moment of showing off on bickering with Zhou Tianyuan, such an idiot?
Bai Mo continued to stand with his hands behind his back, expressionless. In his opinion, he must look extremely handsome with his cool and cool demeanor as a master.
He glanced at Zhou Tianyuan and sighed inwardly. This person couldn't liven up the atmosphere at all. He was nothing.
However, the students were already accustomed to Bai Mo's excellence and were not very surprised. They continued to look for their own scores on the huge stone slab in the center of the square.
A gust of wind blew by, brought by the head teacher. Suning looked at Bai Mo and felt that this student was in a bit strange state at the moment.
But she didn't care, and said: "Bai Mo, Zhou Tianyuan, follow me."
Hearing this, Bai Mo stopped posing. He guessed that the school's reward might be coming, and after looking at Zhou Tianyuan, he followed.
Suning walked into a room near the square. There was another girl in the room. She was very tall, about 1.7 meters tall.
"She is Mei Qian." Su Ning introduced her.
Bai Mo knew that she was the second best in the school in the Thunder Department.
Suning ignored the three silent people in the room and took out three invitations with simple styles from the table and handed them to them. "This is the entry ticket to Jing'an Stone Temple. The time is three days later. No one will be accepted after the time limit."
"Teacher Su, are we leaving tomorrow?"
"We'll be leaving soon. The bus arranged by the school is almost here." Su Ning glanced at Mei Qian who asked the question and continued, "The invitation says how long you can stay in Jing'an Stone Temple. But don't worry, someone will call you out when the time comes."
Hearing this, Bai Mo lowered his head and looked at the antique invitation in his hand. There was a number on it: 14
It should be in my own time. Fourteen days seems quite long.
"It's only been three days!" Zhou Tianyuan looked away from his invitation and looked at Mei Qian on the left, "Classmate Mei, how many days are you?"
"Five days." Mei Qian's coquettish voice made Bai Mo stunned. Is this the legendary loli voice? The contrast with her height is quite big.
"Oh, it seems to be based on ranking. Bai Mo, how many days are you?"
"Fourteen days."
Hearing this, Mei Qian and Zhou Tianyuan were both stunned. This difference was quite big.
"Normally, the first place winner only has seven days. Jing'an Shimiao only gave us 90 shares for all the high schools in Qingyuan District. The Military Control Commission in Zhongjian Town gave Bai Mo a seven-day share."
Seeing their confusion, Suning started to explain. After he finished speaking, he was still a little curious, "Bai Mo, what did you do?"
"Emm, I don't know. I didn't do anything big. I just served as a tool for General Yang and his men to lead the way."
Since he didn't want to go back to the square to bask in the sun, Bai Mo simply recounted what happened that day in vivid detail.
After hearing this, the three people from Suning were also confused, as if they really didn't do anything important.
