Xiao Cheng's sword-drawing technique was not flashy, but the aura it exuded was astonishingly sharp.
A white sword aura flashed past, causing the space in front of Jiang Wuyuan to distort slightly.
A neat line of blood appeared on the necks of more than a dozen Vicious Deer.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Jiang Wuyuan sheathed his sword, glanced at Huo Ling standing not far behind him with a shocked expression, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
He knew this person intended to test his strength, so he simply revealed some of his abilities to put the other person at ease.
When teammates are together, the worst thing to do is to doubt and be suspicious.
Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Wuyuan took out a metal dagger from the package behind him and cut off the antlers of the fallen spirit deer one by one, then put them away.
This thing is quite valuable.
Huo Ling, watching Jiang Wuyuan's actions, finally came to his senses.
"Ice cube, I didn't expect you to be this strong!"
Huo Ling hopped over to Jiang Wuyuan's side and put his arm around his shoulder. "You want these deer antlers? Then I'll help you with that too."
"Take it out and sell it for money, then split it equally."
Huo Ling refused: "There's no need to split it equally. I'm here to hone my skills. Take whatever you need."
Jiang Wuyuan didn't stand on ceremony with him.
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
"light and spacious."
Huo Ling found him even more agreeable.
After collecting their loot, the two continued deeper into the wilderness.
Although it is deep inside, it is still the outer edge of the jungle.
This northern wilderness area is so vast that even just exploring the outer perimeter could take months.
After the abyss appeared hundreds of years ago, the area of the entire continent expanded by more than several hundred times, and the number of humans and magical beasts skyrocketed.
There seems to be something ahead.
Huo Ling said softly.
As mages, the most basic class skill, Eagle Eye, grants them a wider field of vision and sharper perception.
"Holy crap, they're actually three mutated porcupines at the peak of Tier 1."
This monster not only has the same form as a regular porcupine, but its back quills are sharper and also contain venom, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities.
Jiang Wuyuan remained expressionless, as if the three peak first-tier magical beasts were no obstacle in his eyes.
"I'll hold them off from the front, you deal damage from behind." Jiang Wuyuan charged out with his sword.
Hey! Slow down!
Huo Ling, unable to keep up with Jiang Wuyuan's speed, shouted.
His voice immediately attracted the attention of the three mutated porcupines.
In the mountains and forests where visibility is limited, hearing and perception become more important than sight.
roar!
The largest mutated porcupine howled at Huo Ling.
Its forelegs pawed the ground, and its nearly two-meter-tall body charged rapidly toward Huoling.
"A perfectly round sword and shield."
Just as Huo Ling was about to cast a fire shield, a figure blocked his way.
Dense sword energy swirled around the two of them, forming a transparent sword shield.
clang--
The mutated porcupine's enormous body slammed into the sword and shield, but it did not shake them in the slightest.
"Don't just stand there, start firing."
Although Jiang Wuyuan could easily defeat the three pigs with a single sword-drawing technique, he didn't mind honing his teammate's combat skills.
Huo Ling didn't want a share of the profits; he had accepted the favor and felt he had to repay it.
Huo Ling, as expected of a prodigy with exceptionally high blood and qi, quickly regained his senses and gently raised his staff.
Fireball!
Instantly, a series of fireballs the size of footballs hurtled toward the mutated porcupine's head.
roar!
Sensing danger, the mutated porcupine shuddered and raised its quills to protect its head.
Ta-da!
Fireballs slammed into the extremely hard spikes one after another, without leaving a single mark.
"Hey, this thing is really tough."
Huo Ling curled his lip, not at all surprised that the fireball spell couldn't break through the defense.
It was originally just to test how resilient this pig really was.
Basic swordsmanship, the thrusting technique.
Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Wuyuan swiftly flicked his longsword upwards, flipping the mutated porcupine that was lying on the ground defending itself.
Its weakness is its belly.
Huo Ling quickly formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the red crystal embedded in his staff immediately burst forth with an extremely dazzling light.
"Flying Feather - Explosion Technique!"
In an instant, red feathers formed from flames shot rapidly toward the exposed white belly.
The flowing feathers exploded the moment they touched an object.
For a moment, the screams of the mutated porcupines and the explosions of fire feathers were continuous.
When the smoke cleared, the mutated porcupine was lying on the ground, lifeless.
"There are still two left, don't be discouraged."
Although the largest one was killed first, the other two porcupines should not be underestimated.
Jiang Wuyuan observed their body shapes and concluded that these three mutated porcupines were likely a family of three.
One male and one female, and then they had a baby.
They were a bit smarter than the tyrannical deer; knowing they were no match for the enemy, they actually tried to escape.
Jiang Wuyuan's gaze sharpened.
The quills on the mutated porcupine's back are valuable and can fetch a very good price, so he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch two mobile vaults escape from his sight.
"Chase after them."
Jiang Wuyuan used the Rainbow Stepping Technique to chase after the larger female mutated porcupine.
Beneath his sharp brows and eyes, a sword flashed past.
The defense that the fireball spell couldn't break was like a thin sheet of paper in front of this sword, easily pierced with a single poke.
The female mutant porcupine let out a painful scream, but it was to no avail.
