"Okay!" Xiao Zhi clapped his hands and stood up, his smile becoming more sincere. He actually didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer.
"Since you two want to end the battle quickly, I will naturally cooperate and support you. I will go and count the men now."
It didn't take long before the sound of footsteps could be heard outside. The scattered crowd became neat and orderly. Bai Mo and Nan Jue walked out and saw 102 people standing in the small square, lined up in an orderly manner.
Xiao Zhi then walked up to the two of them, pointed at the mages in front of him who were all dressed in casual clothes but all very capable, and said:
"I brought a hundred mid-level soldiers and one high-level soldier. I am also a high-level soldier. We are now divided into two teams. The other team will start from the north to conduct detection and clearance. I wonder which of you two will follow."
After saying that, he pointed to a woman standing in front of the team. Apparently, she was the one leading the other team. She was another high-level magician.
“I’ll go!” Nan Jue took a step forward.
The wind was cold and biting. Bai Mo was in the middle of the mages, sitting on a flat ground by the sea with Xiao Zhi, looking at the dense forest on the island.
There is snow on the island, but mostly on the beach and on the trees. There is not much snow on the ground on the island.
Bai Mo's ears moved and he looked at Xiao Zhi, "They have already reached the other side of the island along the coast. Let's go."
"Okay!" Xiao Zhi nodded heavily, a solemn and serious expression appeared on his face. A voice in Japanese that Bai Mo could not understand came out of his mouth solemnly, and then the fifty people turned into ten small teams and dispersed into the dense forest of the island.
Bai Mo and Xiao Zhi followed these people in an orderly manner. Bai Mo told them the movements and coordinates of each Yingyue Etu, which were not only heard by Xiao Zhi, but also by the ears of the nearest teams.
Daytime is the time for Yingyue Rabbit to rest, and they only become active at night. Therefore, there is no need to worry that these monsters will no longer be in their original positions after Bai Mo reports the coordinates.
For teams of mages, once they knew there was something there, it became much easier to find the Yingyue Rabbit that blended into the environment.
“Here’s one!”
As the ice fell, a mage released a mid-level ice lock, instantly binding the roots of a large tree that was not far away from him.
He just passed by that place, but he didn't see anything. However, after hearing Bai Mo's voice transmission, he activated the ice lock and looked over there, and saw a rabbit wheel trailer as big as a heavy motorcycle being strangled by the frost hook.
“Squeak!”
The biting cold and the instinct coming from the threat to his life made Yingyue Rabbit subconsciously wake up. All of a sudden, his muscles were trembling, and the ice chains wrapped around his body broke with a crackling sound.
"Hurry! It's trying to break free!" the mage who released the ice chain shouted to his teammates.
His teammates were also powerful. In an instant, magical lights of various colors flashed and all bombarded the Moon-Shaped Rabbit.
The power of the collision of various magic spells almost instantly split the body of the Yingyue Rabbit.
The same situation happened everywhere in the forest.
Bai Mo followed the large group and walked slowly forward while saying to Xiao Zhi beside him, "Xiao Zhi, there is a nest of Yingyue Rabbits on a huge rock about 300 meters away. There are about 20 of them. You need to go there in person."
"Hi!"
Seeing Xiao Zhi leaving, Bai Mo's eyes flickered, and he continued to tell each of them the location of Yingyue Rabbit.
He had just done a survey and found that there were quite a few Yingyue Rabbits in this place, more than 500 in total, equivalent to a medium-sized population.
He had also sensed the sounds made by the Yingyue Rabbits that were fighting against the mage team, and they did have the ability to confuse people's minds and souls, which was equivalent to a Requiem that had been scaled down many times.
However, it is more than enough for beginner mages and ordinary people.
However, no discovery has been made about the reason for the appearance of the Yingyue Rabbit.
The only suspicious point is that there is a big pit in the center of the island, but unfortunately it cannot be seen now.
Soon, Xiao Zhi quietly sneaked back from the shadows.
"Is everything going well?"
"Naturally, Mr. Bai's sound system is highly skilled. When I arrived, none of those things reacted."
"I just did a careful survey and found that there is a medium-sized population of Moonlight Rabbits on this island."
Bai Mo glanced at him and said, "But they are just some small generals after all. Why would they send Xiao Zhi and two other high-ranking generals here?"
"Well." Xiao Zhi looked a little hesitant, worried that he might have reservations and not want to try his best to help, so he finally decided to tell the truth.
"It's like this. Some time ago, a wizard on guard here responded and felt the aura of a commander. Although the aura was not very strong, my Meiko came here just in case."
"So that's how it is." Bai Mo nodded slightly, and then carefully explored the Yingyue Rabbit on the island again.
But he did not feel the commander's strong heartbeat or his abnormal body shape.
He did not relax because of this, perhaps it was just that the commander had outstanding hiding abilities.
Bai Mo thought about it and decided to try to find out the reason why Yingyue Rabbit was cheated, so he said:
"This Yingyue Rabbit looks very much like Yingyue Rabbit, and I have never heard of this kind of monster. Xiaozhi, do you know how they appeared?"
"Huh? I didn't expect Mr. Bai to know about Yingyue Rabbit?"
Hearing this, Bai Mo was slightly stunned. Seeing Xiao Zhi's reaction, it seemed that this matter was not as secret as he thought.
So he nodded slightly: "I have a friend who is a summoning mage, and I often hear him talk about this."
"I see. This matter is not a secret at all." Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, organized his words, and then said:
"In fact, we discovered the special magic materials on Qianye Island more than a year ago, and later sent people to explore and find a suitable place to start excavation. At that time, the island was indeed inhabited by Yingyue Rabbits, but this kind of monster is not very aggressive towards humans, and there are not too many of them, so we ignored it, thinking that once the excavation work is officially implemented, we will naturally deal with them."
"Did something unexpected happen?" Bai Mo asked.
"Yes!" Xiao Zhi nodded heavily, and then asked instead of answering, "Mr. Bai, do you know about sea spirit beasts?"
"Sea spirit beasts! I know about them. It is said that they control the tides of the ocean and can emit sound vibrations that can double the tides in a certain place. As a sound mage, I actually want to learn more about these sound vibrations."
"Mr. Bai is really knowledgeable."
Xiao Zhi looked a little surprised. He had already seen that Bai Mo was from Jiuzhou. In his impression, the ocean in Jiuzhou was relatively calm compared to that in his own country.
Their country did not pay too much attention to the ocean, but they did not expect that Bai Mo knew so much about this kind of ocean monster, which not many people knew about in Fuso.
Nodding slightly, he continued, "About half a year ago, there seemed to be a great battle among the demons in this sea area. A sea spirit beast as big as a hill was knocked out of the sea and flew very high. Then it landed in the center of Qianye Island, creating a big crater, and fell to its death. It may have been dead when it was knocked out."
"Are these Yingyue Rabbits related to the Sea Spirit Beasts?"
"That's right." Xiao Zhi nodded, "The survey team found it in the center of the island and wanted to transport it back, but found that the demon seemed to have a very high level of cultivation.
Even though it's dead, there's still a layer of sound around it that makes it hard to get close to, and it's embedded very tightly in the ground, so we can't get it out in a short time, so we'll just leave it there for a while."
“But they didn’t realize that the Moon Rabbits were attracted by the blood and flesh of the high-level demons, and were not disturbed by the sound field, so they ate up the sea spirit beast.”
At this point, Xiao Zhi's face turned ugly, because everything could have been avoided if they had not been afraid of trouble.
"The Yingyue Rabbits that ate all the sea spirit beasts somehow gained the ability of sound and could interfere with souls. They then multiplied and became the Yingyue Rabbit tribe that is now spread all over Qianye Island."
After listening to Xiao Zhi's words, Bai Mo nodded slightly. It was unexpected, but it was also good that there were no bad things as he imagined.
"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. This time I'll help you eliminate the Yingyue Rabbits. These groups that shouldn't appear will also disappear in the future. There's a nest of rabbits 300 meters to the northwest. I'll need you to go there."
"It's my duty." Xiao Zhi said and went over there.
As the wizard team went deeper into the forest, large tracts of Yingyue Rabbits were eradicated. The bloody smell and the fluctuations of the destructive magic also completely awakened the rabbits in the forest.
Unlike ordinary rabbits, these Yingyue Rabbits, which were transformed from Yingyue Rabbits, also inherited the Yingyue Rabbit's habit of loving moonlight but not liking to dig holes.
Therefore, although they were all awakened, they did not all hide underground. It seemed that after eating the flesh and blood of the sea beasts, these things had become somewhat ferocious.
Not only did they not dodge when their kind were killed by many mages, but they gathered together and attacked the mages together.
This forced many mages to gather their formations and unite together.
"I can block out their soul-disturbing cries, but don't get too far away."
Seeing that the ten teams of mages who cooperated with Xiao Zhi in the battle had gathered together, no one died, but many were injured, Bai Mo said.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi quickly said, "That couldn't be better!"
After hearing this, the other mages all looked relieved.
At this time, more than a hundred Yingyue Rabbits the size of heavy motorcycles had gathered around them, surrounding them in this relatively empty forest.
The reason why they can see these things that are good at hiding is thanks to Xiao Zhi's Shadow Seal, which is the dark matter he releases, which will leave a clearly detectable dark mark on the enemy.
But in the eyes of many mages, all around them were shadow marks that were like darts moving in the air, surrounding them at a very fast speed.
"Defense mages, prepare to defend. Water mages, use the violent waves to push these things away!" Xiao Zhi landed on the branch of a tree like a flying bird, and a clanging sound was heard.
Hearing the commander's command, many mages began to change their formations in an orderly manner, and the fluctuations of elements began to surge.
As if they sensed the gathering of elements and the fluctuations of magic, the surrounding Yingyue Rabbits all became agitated and screamed.
“Squeak, squeak~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
The chirping sounds appeared like a rainstorm, rushing towards them. There was no place to hide because of the dense crowds. The stars controlled by many mages were clearly visible.
The stars began to become restless and uncontrollably, with beads of sweat flowing onto their foreheads involuntarily. They all tried their best to control the magic in their hands.
"quiet!"
Bai Mo stretched out his hand and musical notes appeared instantly, transforming into layers of invisible sound wave barriers that blocked all the noise from the oncoming rainstorm.
In an instant, all the mages were in great shape, with happy expressions on their faces, and their magic was performed smoothly.
"Violent waves!"
"Violent waves!"
Water light shone brightly on the five mages, and spells were rang out continuously. Waves of water rolled up high, destroying the trees, and were trying to scatter and repel the numerous Yingyue Hetu around them.
Water magic has a wide coverage area, and the five violent waves rushed in five directions respectively, which were able to drive back these monsters.
However, there were too many demons and the trees were blocking their way, so they were pushed back a short distance.
What’s important is that the water marks made these demons more obvious.
"Destruction Mage, attack!"
Xiao Zhi's voice came from above, and then ice chains formed into an ice spear array, and thunderclouds formed a sea of thunder, which fell one after another towards the Yingyue Rabbit in all directions.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
Numerous rabbits kicked their legs at an extremely fast speed, like countless afterimages leaping in the air.
When the thunderbolts and ice spears had all fallen, only a dozen demons were left bleeding.
The remaining demons rushed towards them again.
Perhaps knowing that they had a way to deal with their soul-disturbing sounds, these rabbits no longer bothered to call, but instead charged towards the crowd at an even faster speed.
"Rock Barrier!!"
"Guangyou!!"
In an instant, a rocky mountain screen rose from the ground, and a golden holy shield gathered, surrounding everyone. The rabbits hit the shield, and the sound of bangs was endless.
In a flash, Bai Mo felt the air around him suddenly become cold, and saw Xiao Zhi fall to the ground at some point. Then a drop of ink spread out from where he was standing, and quickly spread to the surroundings. In a blink of an eye, it covered an area of 100 meters.
"The Black Demonic Pond!"
Then the entire area soaked in black ink suddenly shook, and devil-like claws stretched out from the dark pool. One devil hand was able to restrain a rabbit.
The devil's hand continued to tighten, as if holding a balloon. As the force increased, the balloon was squeezed more and more, and finally exploded with a bang.
On the many black devil hands among the black devil's claws, the captured Yingyue rabbits all exploded and turned into fragments on the ground.
“Ah!!!!”
Suddenly, the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees began to sway automatically without wind, and an extremely sharp cry came from the center of the island.
Xiao Zhi, who was about to make another attack to wipe out the evil rabbits that escaped from the Black Demon Pond, groaned, and the fire elements gathered in his body dissipated, turning into sparks that ignited the weeds at his feet.
Bai Mo also frowned, and felt as if his head had been hit hard. He looked around at the mages lying on the ground holding their heads, and waved his hand to block out the sharp scream. (End of this chapter)
