Zhang Qinglan, riding on the wind tracks, moved very quickly and arrived beside Lu Shi and the others in the blink of an eye.
The Fiery Lion, hot on its heels, noticed the addition of several humans, but it paid no heed and continued its pursuit. At the same time, it conjured a ball of flame in its mouth, preparing to incinerate all the humans in one gulp.
"Tch, just like the Flame Fang Tiger!" Lu Shi waved his hand calmly, purple light surging around him.
[Thunderfall]
The instantaneous lightning bolt interrupted the Flame Lion's fire-breathing action, and caused a surge of electric current to coursing through its body. The electrostatic effect was triggered.
"Die."
Three black shadow spikes shot accurately toward the Flame Lion's head. Their powerful penetrating force pierced its eyes and forehead.
[Slayed a Tier 3 monster, soul weight 82G, automatically absorbed]
Lu Shi withdrew her hand with satisfaction.
I will not repeat the same mistake; I will never use fire magic against fire-type monsters again.
"Teacher Lu, you're amazing!" Zhou Rui immediately hugged Lu Shi and showered her with praise.
Zhang Qinglan let out a breath, patted her chest, and slowly walked to Lu Shi's side, saying earnestly, "Teacher Lu, thank you! You saved my life again. However, the surrounding forest is full of magical beasts, so I think I should go with you."
Compared to man-eating monsters, at least the Thunder Witch doesn't eat people!
"Whatever, but I won't be protecting you." Lu Shi waved her hand dismissively.
Zhang Qinglan ran to the dead body nearby, pulled off a pair of pants and put them on to avoid exposing herself.
The group of six continued heading towards N County.
After crossing the road, we entered the county road.
On the county road, there were no vehicles in sight, nor any trace of monsters.
Let's go!
Lu Shi sighed, realizing that with these students in tow, her own pace had slowed down considerably.
Otherwise, its own wind tunnel can deploy much faster than a bus.
But there are so many monsters on the outskirts, we can't find a place to store them, and we can't just abandon the five students!
After all, I am still a proud teacher!
But after walking for half an hour, they hadn't encountered a single magical beast.
I saw several wrecked cars on the road, but the drivers and passengers were nowhere to be seen. They've probably either been swallowed by monsters or escaped.
After walking for another five minutes, they finally understood why they hadn't seen any monsters along the way.
On the county road, the bus that had carried them earlier was stopped in front of a pile of car wreckage, unable to move forward. Dozens of large dogs were barking incessantly around the bus, and some were even banging on the doors.
Tier 1 magical beast, hyena.
Compared to the hyenas Lu Shi had seen in her previous life, the hyenas in the magical world were taller and larger, each about the size of an adult.
Fortunately, hyenas are among the weakest magical beasts. A single Tier 1 Gale Wolf can easily kill three Tier 1 hyenas.
Level 1 hyenas have no magic power whatsoever and rely entirely on their physical strength.
Only hyenas of level 2 or higher possess basic earth-type abilities.
But hyenas also have their own advantages, namely... their numbers.
With their high reproductive capacity, they have always relied on sheer numbers to win.
The group surrounding the bus is led by a Tier 2 hyena, who is accompanied by dozens of Tier 1 hyena minions. They are arrogantly staring at the bus, as if there is some delicious food hidden on it.
"Teacher Lu, you don't need to do this. Let us deal with these beasts!" Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Rui and Wu Lie rushed over immediately.
As they ran, the two were also drawing star charts with their hands. Then, two fireballs flew out from their hands respectively.
Hit.
It instantly killed two hyenas.
But their actions also ignited the hyenas' ferocity.
The lead tier 2 hyena let out a low growl.
All the hyenas turned around, abandoning their attack on the bus, and pounced on Zhou Rui and her companion.
Swish.
Two stone walls stood at the feet of Zhou Rui and Wu Lie respectively, and the rapidly rising stone walls lifted the two of them into the air by nearly 3 meters.
"Haha." The two laughed heartily, throwing fireballs incessantly, killing the hyenas one after another.
The Tier 2 hyena glanced fiercely in Lu Shi's direction, let out a low growl, and led the way, turning and running into the woods by the roadside.
The other Tier 1 hyenas followed suit, leaving behind only six mangled hyena corpses on the ground, killed and burned by the fireballs.
"It's a pleasure working with you! Our new tactics are awesome." Zhou Rui laughed as she jumped down from the stone wall. She bumped fists with Wu Lie, and then with Zheng Zu and Long Fang, who had walked over.
What a group of passionate young men!
Looking at the group of people radiating youthful energy, Lu Shi sighed inwardly.
"What a load of bull!" Zhang Qinglan muttered from the side, "The two of them built themselves up on top to create a cannon platform, ignoring the lives of their teammates. If those bastards hadn't been afraid to come over because they thought Teacher Lu was powerful, their teammates would have been sacrificed."
"What are you muttering about?" Lu Shi glanced at Zhang Qinglan with displeasure, a faint electric current running through her body.
Looking at the Thunder Witch, Zhang Qinglan lowered her head and said earnestly, "Teacher Lu, you are so beautiful and cool."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi touched her face, and the electric current disappeared without her noticing.
"Teacher Lu, come quick!" Zhou Rui called out to Lu Shi from the bus window.
Lu Shi ignored Zhang Qinglan and walked towards the bus.
Zhang Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief as Lu Shi walked away.
It seems this lightning witch enjoys flattery; I'll make a note of that.
As soon as Lu Shi got into the car, she saw the driver slumped in the driver's seat, his throat severed by a hyena. But the hyena was also dead on top of the driver, its body charred black, not from fire, but seemingly electrocuted.
"Zhang Lin, don't cry. Where are the others?" Zhou Rui pulled a girl up from her seat and asked with concern. The two seemed to know each other quite well.
The girl named Zhang Lin cried her eyes out, clinging tightly to Zhou Rui and refusing to let go.
【Soul Purification】
As the white light faded, Lu Shi withdrew her right hand and looked at Zhang Lin, who was gradually calming down.
She asked softly, "Where are the others?"
After being purified, Zhang Lin calmed down and said with hatred in her voice, "It's that bastard Huang Shixuan. I just asked if I could save my family on my way. And he held a grudge against me."
His tone became even more agitated as he seemed to be thinking about something that made him angry.
"The bus got stuck here and couldn't go any further, so everyone had to get off and walk. But Huang Shixuan actually abandoned me and mocked me, telling me to go save my family myself and not to follow them. And the driver, who was just an ordinary person, was left to fend for himself by Huang Shixuan."
Zhang Lin added fearfully, "Then the driver and I encountered a hyena. The driver was bitten to death, and I electrocuted it. Then I saw a lot more coming. I thought I was going to die. Waaaaah..."
As she spoke, she broke down in tears.
"Are the others just going to watch you get abandoned?" Zhou Rui asked bitterly.
"They...they were all threatened by Huang Shixuan, and no one dared to speak up." Zhang Lin was clearly also full of resentment.
"Don't worry, they won't fare any better." Zhang Qinglan also got into the car and said with a smile, "They didn't help you today, they abandoned you. Next time it's their turn to be abandoned, no one will help them either. You should be grateful that we saved you. Those people's fate will only be worse than yours."
"You talk a lot!" Lu Shi said with a smile as she looked at Zhang Qinglan.
"Teacher Lu, please. I was just expressing my feelings. Don't pretend I don't exist!" Zhang Qinglan raised her hand and hurriedly ran out of the car again.
"Let's go, let's continue our journey and get to the Magic Association as soon as possible," Lu Shi said, stepping off the bus.
The group continued on their journey.
Looking at the six students behind her, Lu Shi sighed. There were more and more burdens.
The key issue is that they might all steal my monsters.
Oh no, what should I do?
They're all my students, I can't just ignore them!
...
We traveled for almost two hours.
Most of the monsters they encountered on the road were Tier 1 or Tier 2 magical beasts, which the students dealt with themselves.
With one thunderbolt, two firebolts, and two earthbolts, the five students coordinated their movements with increasing skill.
But there is one who is detached from the group.
Zhang Qinglan always stood in such a convenient position... that it was easy to escape.
However, Lu Shi easily dealt with the six Tier 3 magical beasts and one Tier 4 magical beast she encountered on the way.
She also gained 352G of Warcraft Soul weight.
To be honest, it really feels like Lu Shi is leading her students in a practical training exercise right now.
It was only the miserable state of ordinary people encountered along the way that truly described what a living hell is.
However, in this hell on earth, Lu Shi and her students are still wiping out demons!
...
As the yellow light screen drew ever closer, Lu Shi and the others quickened their pace.
Once you pass that upscale residential area, you'll reach the Magic Association.
But then, an unexpected event occurred.
Lu Shi encountered an acquaintance—no, more like a familiar beast.
Tier 6 Sacred Pegasus
Tianma leisurely nibbled on the grass in the green belt outside the upscale residential area, not even raising his head, as if he hadn't seen Lu Shi and the others arrive.
“Teacher Lu, once we cross this residential area, the Magic Association is right across the street. But, that…” Zhou Rui said, pointing to the Sacred Pegasus.
“That’s the Sacred Pegasus, a 6th-tier light-type magical beast. It’s said that light-type magical beasts are all quite docile. We should sneak over there. Otherwise, who knows what might happen if we go around in circles,” Wu Lie said, looking at the Pegasus grazing.
docile?
You say this green tea horse is docile?
Haha, no need to go to the forest.
Lu Shi decided that she would ride it right here.
If you're not convinced, then beat you until you are.
"You lot, stand back. Teacher Lu is going to train the horses today!"
Lu Shi's aura surged, and the light of thunder, fire, and wind surged from his body at the same time.
Then, to the astonishment of several students, she charged toward the 6th-tier Sacred Pegasus.
