"Little Scissors, can the Shapeshifter still be repaired?" Lu Shi asked cautiously.
"Shapeshifting Gold is really unlucky to have a master like you," Little Scissors said irritably. "I have a lot of lightning-type metals here. I have enough repair materials. But I'm still missing a core element, Star Silver. With it, I can not only perfectly repair it, but also further enhance Shapeshifting Gold's abilities and level."
"That's good, I'll keep an eye on collecting them."
It's good to have hope. Not only does Shapeshifter have powerful defensive capabilities, but the fun of changing outfits is also quite enjoyable.
Zhang Qinglan quietly walked up to Lu Shi and asked, "Teacher Lu, are these two magicians the infamous Shadow Envoys? You seem to have a rather bad relationship with them."
"It's more than just bad. It's a fight to the death. What? Scared?" Lu Shi rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhang.
"No, I'm not afraid. The Shadow Demons preach that only the strong survive. They believe that only the strong should exist in this world, and the weak don't deserve to live. But they don't even consider that without the support of ordinary people, mages can't survive either!" Zhang Qinglan said resentfully.
"I didn't expect you to know more about the Shadow Society than I do. I still think they're just a bunch of cruel beasts." Lu Shi shook her head, realizing how shallow she had been.
These Shadow Envoys treat ordinary people like pigs and dogs, torturing and humiliating them at will. Conversely, they bow down and negotiate cooperation when faced with powerful magical beasts.
As a powerful mage, he already considered himself a different being.
However, magicians are human, and ordinary people are human too.
Human strength should not be used to bully the weak.
Just as I may not like small animals like cats and dogs, I would never intentionally abuse them or even resort to cruel methods like skinning or gouging out their eyes just to demonstrate my power and satisfy my perverted desires.
In my past life, all I could do was condemn those perpetrators.
Upon arriving in this magical world, the members of the Shadow Society are just like those abusers who mistreated small animals in their previous lives.
However, their methods are more cruel and destructive, and their victims are not small animals, but living, weaker members of their own kind.
No, in their eyes, those weak, ordinary people might no longer be considered their kind.
Now, Lu Shi has much more to do in the face of these abusers.
Lightning and fire burned him, reducing his bones to ashes.
From now on, her relationship with the Shadow Society will only be... a fight to the death.
Seeing that Lu Shi was deep in thought, Zhang Qinglan assumed that the Thunderfire Witch thought she was afraid. She quickly said loudly, "Teacher Lu, I'm not afraid of the Shadow Demon Society."
Her voice interrupted Lu Shi's thoughts. She smiled and patted Zhang Qinglan's head for the first time.
The adorable student looks more and more like the main character.
Phew...
A sharp whistle came from the sky.
Huang Tian flapped the wind wings behind him, his left hand pressed against the Wind Chaser, completely binding it with an invisible wind prison. His right hand gripped its neck.
Suddenly, flames rose from his right hand and began to burn from his throat throughout his body.
The Wind Chaser screamed incessantly, its massive body trembling uncontrollably.
From below, although there was a difference in size between the two, Huang Tian's terrifying aura far surpassed that of Zhui Fengying.
"goodbye!"
Huang Tian's right hand blazed with intense flames, completely igniting the massive body of the Wind Chaser.
"No!" Unexpectedly, it wasn't the Rank 6 Wind Chaser that screamed, but Lu Shi.
Three shadow spikes pierced through the burning chest of the Wind Chaser.
Unfortunately, there were no helpful tips.
Failed to steal the monster.
Lu Shi screamed in despair, clutching her head, regretting that several thousand units of magical beast soul weight had been lost to her. Huang Tian and Zhang Qinglan stared at her, utterly bewildered.
Huang Tian flung away the Wind Chaser that was almost burning to ashes in his hand, flew back to the rooftop platform, and asked Lu Shi with concern if she was injured.
Lu Shi waved her hand awkwardly, indicating that she was fine.
Huang Tian turned to look at the two corpses on the ground, pierced by lightning spears, and frowned. He couldn't help but ask, "Just how many magical artifacts did Cui Ling give you? This one has both lightning and shadow effects, plus acceleration and defense. Cui Ling must be very rich!"
"No, not much! Just some little things for self-defense." Lu Shi quickly tried to change the subject. Her master seemed very powerful; it seemed she should just push any difficult explanation onto her in the future.
"Look!"
Zhang Qinglan suddenly called out.
The two of them hurriedly looked over.
The protective barrier surrounding the Huang family's buildings was shaking violently, its light flickering, and the countless black snake phantoms on it were still writhing.
A few seconds later.
A deafening explosion rang out.
The protective shield's light was completely extinguished, and in an instant, it was crushed by countless black snake phantoms.
The shattered protective shield suddenly exploded, turning all the countless black snake phantoms into nothingness.
The Netherworld Serpent atop the Zifeng Tower let out a painful, unwilling roar, seemingly suffering a severe backlash.
However, the complete disappearance of the protective shield also exposed the Huang family's territory.
Then, terrifying sounds echoed throughout the north of the city.
"All magical beasts, raze the Huang family to the ground!"
This was the Netherworld Serpent's telepathic message, and strangely enough, the three humans on the top floor all understood it.
The two men, eager to rush into the Huang family's residence, immediately headed towards it.
Huang Tianfeng spread his wings and flew quickly towards the Huang family.
Lu Shi kept calling, but couldn't be stopped.
Zhang Qinglan didn't know the Wind Wings. But a blue light flashed on his legs. He looked at the top of the building opposite, turned around, took a few steps, started to run, stepped on the edge, took off, his body drew an arc in the air, and jumped towards a tall building opposite.
Upon landing, Zhang Qinglan stood up and continued searching for her next foothold.
This kid is actually doing high-rise parkour.
Wind-elemental mages make parkour even more exciting.
They jumped from buildings only a few dozen meters apart.
If this person doesn't jump well and falls, the magician will die too.
Lu Shi admired the young man's courage. Then Xiao Jianjian's voice came from behind.
"Master, you promised to help the protagonist in his time of need!"
"The Shapeshifting Gold is shattered. The demonic serpent above is watching us menacingly, and so many demonic beasts are rushing into the Huang family. As a family of magic, the Huang family must have its own trump cards. Why should I rush over there to my death?" Lu Shi said nonchalantly.
Uncle Huang is stronger than me, so I don't need to worry about him.
Zhang Qinglan... well, either become the protagonist and take off, or just die. At worst, I'll collect your corpse later. We don't need to worry about that now.
The Huang family might still have fragments of the Kunlun Mirror, but compared to the danger, it's better to pass.
I'll stay here for a while; the reinforcements from J City should be arriving soon.
"But, Master, didn't you notice the familiar resonance of shadow magic coming from the Huang family?" Little Scissors interrupted Lu Shi's thoughts and continued.
"Hmm?" Lu Shi calmed down and indeed felt that her shadow magic was faintly resonating with a certain place inside the Huang family building.
"Could it be that Yalin is pregnant with a second child?" Lu Shi wondered. "But it didn't say anything about that!"
"This fluctuation is very strong, much stronger than that little leopard," Little Scissors affirmed.
"If it wasn't the cub, then it could only be... the adult male leopard that came out looking for the cub."
Lu Shi and Xiao Jianjian spoke almost simultaneously.
"Why don't we ask Yalin?" Lu Shi wanted to summon her.
“No, Yalin is still recovering from her serious injuries last time, so even if she's summoned, she won't be of any help.” Little Scissors tempted, “Master, let’s go watch the excitement. If we save the male leopard, the Shadow Leopard clan will owe you even more. It’ll be just around the corner for them to become your exclusive dimensional summon.”
"Moreover, as a family of magicians, the Huang family must have many good things. Master! What are you lacking? It's nothing but resources and magical artifacts!"
"Let's go and loot in the chaos, fish in troubled waters... Bah, let's go save lives and uphold human justice."
Xiao Jianjian's words were highly provocative, encouraging Lu Shi to go.
"good!"
Lu Shi agreed.
Finally, she asked one more question.
"Little Scissors, you are my last trump card. If I have you, can I fight an 8th-tier magical beast?"
“Of course,” Little Scissors replied confidently.
“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Shi was full of confidence and energy, and immediately embarked on the same parkour route as Zhang Qinglan.
However, Little Scissors thought to herself with a cold smile:
“Master, I can definitely fight an 8th-tier magical beast with me, but... we'll be lucky to escape.”
