Chapter 79: Enough and Insufficient
"Yes! Brother Mo is indeed very strong." Zhang Yuan agreed.
After sighing, Zhou Tianyuan and Zhang Yuan skillfully dug out the heart of the Dust Wind Raccoon, and Mei Qian did the same on the other side.
For true beast monsters like this, their hearts are the essence of their bodies and are an important auxiliary for making various magic potions. It can be said to be the most valuable part of a monster's body besides its strange bones and blood.
As for things like strange blood and strange bones, they are generally not common among servant-level monsters, so the two of them didn't bother looking for them specifically.
Bai Mo quickly came out to meet them and put the three people's harvest into the space.
Considering that this was the wilderness where even magic hunters rarely came, they did not choose to set off immediately to the next place. Instead, they rested on the spot and restored their magic power before heading to the next mission location.
Demons are not found in every place in the wild. They also consider feng shui when choosing where to live, and this feng shui is the concentration of magical elements.
Therefore, they often fight over territory. The forest occupied by the giant raccoon monster is rich in wind and earth elements. Even though it is covered by its residual breath, in order to prevent other monsters living nearby from noticing something wrong, they are eventually surrounded.
After their magic power was slightly restored, the three of them left immediately.
The four missions they accepted today were all about eradicating demon nests. In addition to the one that had already been completed, two of them were raccoon demon nests, and the other was a nest of dark poisonous steel bees.
It was not difficult to deal with the raccoon demon nest. The first time was new, the second time was familiar. Destroying the two nests of demons did not put the three people in danger, and Bai Mo also harvested the spirits of two generals.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
“Da da da ssssss~~~~~~~~”
The friction sound of the wings vibrating the air and the sound of the tentacles sliding across the ground were heard by Bai Mo and the other three who were hiding in a jungle on the other side of the river along with the afternoon breeze on the river.
Zhou Tianyuan looked at a small mound of earth on the empty river opposite, which was big enough for a three-story villa. With the mound as the center, there was no grass or tree around it, only uneven purple-black ground. Even a small section of the river water nearby had turned purple-black.
In that eerie and cold area, there are some corpses that have been corroded and whose entire appearance cannot be seen. They may be human, may be demons, or may be both.
A buzzing sound came from the corpses, and black figures twice as big as an adult's head flew up.
Their wings, which were vibrating at high speed, were translucent, glowing a cold dark purple light under the sun. The long black needle at the end of the enlarged cyst was terrifying, as if one could feel that the creature had rotted away at a glance.
It was hard to tell whether the limbs were hands or feet, grabbing groups of indescribable things, and flying into the mound that looked more like a demon castle.
This is actually a nest of dark poisonous steel bees!
Dark Poison Steel Bees are servant-level monsters. They are extremely poisonous, and their bodies are as hard as steel. Even their honey is highly toxic. No mage needs them except poison mages.
Often, a nest of dark poisonous steel bees often contains nearly eighty or ninety bees, which is far more than the average demon nest. What's more, a nest of dark poisonous steel bees must have a queen bee and a king bee.
But their demon cores are not very valuable because they contain toxins.
Even less hunter would be willing to provoke these difficult-to-deal-with bees and insects.
The military mages originally did not want to pay attention to the nest of dark poisonous steel bees far away from them, but the poison produced by their habitat has begun to pollute the water source leading to the mine.
Therefore, Bai Mo received this commission.
If it weren't for Zhang Yuan, the healing mage, and Zhou Tianyuan's water and ice elements, which gave him an advantage in this place, and the dark poisonous steel bees were afraid of cold and thunder. In addition, the military's reward was really not low, so Bai Mo didn't want to come to this place to provoke these poisonous bees.
"Tianyuan, are you ready?" Bai Mo asked. They had been lying in wait here for an hour. The reason they had not moved was because Zhou Tianyuan had a water-element amplifying magic weapon that could be used near places with abundant water elements, such as rivers, lakes, and seas.
Guiding and transforming the power of nature will greatly enhance the power of the water mage's next water magic, but it will take a long time to prepare.
However, Zhou Tianyuan is only at the intermediate level one of the water system. Even if he greatly enhances his violent waves, it cannot reach the level of high-level magic. However, it is more than enough to break through the upper limit of intermediate-level magic.
Sensing that the water vapor was full, Zhou Tianyuan looked at the star map under his feet, smiled slightly, glanced at Mei Qian, whose hands were flashing with lightning, and said, "It's already ready, but it's rare to pretend in front of you, so naturally I have to make a little more preparation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the misty water light formed fog around him, and the beautiful azure star map under his feet slowly floated up, passed through him, and came to the top of his head.
"Violent waves!"
It was as if a river was lifted up, and the rumbling sound of water suddenly resounded throughout the area for miles. The steaming water vapor turned into clouds, and by the time those dark poisonous steel bees reacted, a long river had already swooped down towards them.
"Mad flood!"
Then, they saw waves of water that stretched out with great momentum into the sky. The waves that covered the sky directly blocked a large area of sunlight, bringing darkness to the dark purple area. With the sound of Zhou Tianyuan's magic, the rising waves drove the water in the river, forming a wave as magnificent as a towering mountain, like a cloud forge dropped by the gods, directly hitting the nest of dark poisonous steel bees on the shore.
A rumbling sound came from the earth. The flying poisonous bees, the mound that looked like a devil's castle, and the dark poisonous land all turned into a swamp in an instant.
There were many limbs floating on the water, including translucent purple wings, hideous poisonous needles, disgusting compound eyes, and segments of bodies.
"Not bad, but it took a little long."
"Just tell me if he's handsome, fierce, strong, or powerful."
Zhou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, pretending not to hear Bai Mo's nitpicking, and asked directly.
Bai Mo was too lazy to pay attention to him.
This move directly killed forty or fifty dark poisonous steel bees, which was really powerful.
"Leave it to me next."
The danger was not over yet, Bai Mo looked towards the mound of earth. The waves broke the earth and rocks, but also washed away its original appearance.
It was a huge, poisonous steel queen bee. Its body was wrapped in a circle, and its wings that reflected the color of steel blocked the flood. It spit out nests of dark purple bee eggs.
The antennae on its head lightly tapped, and a half-human-sized, completely black poisonous bee, accompanied by the remaining dark poisonous steel bees, buzzed towards the three people who dared to offend them.
It was the Dark Poison Steel Queen Bee and her minions.
"wind!"
Bai Mo shouted loudly and stepped out with trails of wind. He suddenly flew up and a bluish-white wind began to spread. The wind turned into bluish-white willow leaves, which swirled around, tearing through the air with the whirlwind, forming a dense swirling formation of wind leaves, rapidly cutting towards the group of flying dark poisonous steel bees.
The speed of the Wind Willow Blade was extremely fast. Although one wind blade was not enough to break the steel armor of the Dark Poison Steel Bee, as the wind blades flew over and hit it, they gathered into a larger willow leaf wind roll.
A group of dark poisonous steel bees were directly trapped in the tornado hurricane formed by countless willow knife wind blades, and the wind was getting tighter and tighter.
Ding ding ding ding ding~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! !
There was a constant sound like the collision of metal, and wind blades passed by one after another. Wind-eroded wounds appeared directly on the bodies of the dark poisonous steel bees that could only drift with the flow in the rapidly rotating tornado.
Soon, these slave-level dark poisonous steel bees were smashed to pieces by the endless wind blades. Only the warlord-level dark poisonous steel queen bee had hard armor and was covered with knife marks, but no wounds. She was just a little dizzy from being swept by the raging wind and storm.
Bai Mo knew that the dry wind of the wind spirit was stronger than ordinary wind, so the attack power was also stronger, but it was not to the extent of an attached effect. Therefore, it was not difficult to understand why it did not cause much damage to a demon like the Dark Poison Steel Bee with strong defense.
Therefore, while the Dark Poison Steel Bee Queen had not yet recovered from her shock, a silver light suddenly enlarged in Bai Mo's hand. Magic power surged, the silver light flickered, and he raised the gun forward. In a flash, the gun light suddenly pierced through the head of the Dark Poison Steel Bee Queen.
On the other side, nine dark poisonous steel bees that were not swept away by the wind blade rushed towards Zhou Tianyuan and the other two.
Upon seeing this, the lightning in Mei Qian's hand emitted a brilliant purple light and flew out, directly paralyzing the small group of poisonous bees. Then she clenched her fist and swung it. The fiery aura instantly rose, dispersing the surrounding water vapor and revealing a huge fierce fist.
The fiery fist flew out like a rocket, roaring in the air, emptying the air, and directly hitting the nine poisonous bees. The blazing flames brought scorching heat, and the restless sparks exploded with violent energy. The nine dark poisonous steel bees were directly burned into wisps of dust.
After killing the Dark Poison Steel Queen Bee and collecting its spirit, Bai Mo looked at the remaining Dark Poison Steel Queen Bees. The demon was still lying there. If you look closely, you will find that it is slowly wriggling, trying to escape.
In addition to laying eggs, the Dark Poison Steel Bee Queen has powerful defensive capabilities, but its attack power is not much. Its pair of wings are just decoration and it moves slowly.
He shot it to death and collected its spirit. Bai Mo also collected the eggs he laid. This was the antidote to the venom of the dark poisonous steel bee. Some people at the mine drank a cup of contaminated water. Using this solution was more direct and effective than using a healing mage.
Zhou Tianyuan and the other two were obviously not interested in anything on these poisonous creatures. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that today's mission was completed.
Although I didn't encounter any danger, the feeling of being always on edge was not pleasant.
Riding the wind track and leading the three of them on the way back, suddenly a shout came into my heart.
“Is anyone there?”
Bai Mo suddenly stopped, looked at the three people beside him with doubt, frowned and asked:
"Did you hear any sound just now?"
"Sound, there was no sound except the sound of the wind!" Zhou Tianyuan rolled his eyes, thinking that Bai Mo might have fought too many battles and was too tense.
"I didn't hear it either."
"No, it might be an illusion."
Bai Mo frowned again and was about to start when the shouting sounded even clearer.
“Is anyone there?”
Bai Mo suddenly remembered that once when he was chatting with Wu Liu, he told him that the oath mark of their Spark Judges also had another function, which was to ask for help from their own kind.
If you encounter trouble or danger that you cannot handle, you can use the oath mark of the spiritual world to send out a special call to all people with the oath mark of the Starfire Judge within a mile.
Bai Mo didn't take this matter seriously at first, nor did he expect to be rescued by this method in times of crisis.
The Spark Judges are not role models of morality, so Bai Mo might as well hope that the teleportation scroll in his hand will not teleport him into a den of demons instead of relying on them.
On the other hand, within a one-mile range, or five hundred meters, the probability is too small. It would be better to shout "break your throat" at the top of your lungs.
And now, the cry of the soul: "Is anyone there?"
It seemed to be coming from the mark of one's own oath.
How helpless he must be to beg for help in this way. And how lucky he was that he happened to pass by here when he was shouting.
Bai Mo used his mind to touch the oath mark and sent a message of his heart, "Where are you?"
The other party seemed surprised that there was someone there. He paused for a moment before immediately returning to mental positioning.
After that, no matter what Bai Mo asked, there was no response. I don’t know whether he met with an accident or just didn’t want to reply.
Zhou Tianyuan and the others looked at Bai Mo with his eyes closed as if he was sensing something, and they were all confused. They looked at each other, did not disturb him, and stood by silently.
When he opened his eyes, Zhou Tianyuan immediately asked, "What are you doing? Is there anything wrong?"
"Prepare your magic, and you'll know if you follow me." Bai Mo said, and then he led the way while secretly preparing his magic.
Although he thought it was unlikely that someone would use this to fish, he had to be on guard against people in this remote area.
The distance of one hundred meters is not far for a mage, and Bai Mo soon arrived at the place where he received the telepathic message.
This is a flat land. Bai Mo looked around and there was no place where people could hide.
He frowned. Just as Zhou Tianyuan was about to ask, Zhang Yuan sensed a strange mental fluctuation and suddenly pointed to a place very close to him and said, "Be careful, there is something there!"
Hearing this, Bai Mo looked at the place where he pointed, and Zhou Tianyuan instantly used Water Control to cover Zhang Yuan, and then also looked at the place where he pointed.
However, there was only a clump of low weeds and not a single bug.
"Hmm?" Bai Mo's eyes focused on the leaves of a grass. The leaf was tied in a knot, which was obviously the work of humans.
Listening carefully through the magic sound detector at my ear, I could indeed hear a faint heartbeat coming from beneath the land.
Bai Mo waved his arm, silver light scattered, and directly lifted up the small piece of land. Suddenly, the faint heartbeat became clearer.
He waved his arm again, and another piece of soil was blown away.
Just when Zhou Tianyuan was wondering if Bai Mo had lost his mind and wanted Zhang Yuan to treat him, a figure appeared in his sight, in the pit.
His breath was extremely weak and blood was constantly flowing from his body, but his open eyes were extremely bright. He had a bald head with faintly visible scars from his ordination.
How could a person be buried alive in the ground!
