Chapter 1159: A desperate struggle
"Why have the number of monsters outside the city decreased so much recently? Is this a sign of trouble?"
"If we knew why, would the city lord send us here to investigate?"
A seven-member reconnaissance team walked in the snow and ice. They were all battle-hardened monks with experience in fighting and defeating monsters of the same level. They were sent by the city lord to investigate the reasons for the changes in the number of monsters.
They were flying close to the ground, wearing white robes with high-level Qi-hiding talismans pasted on the inside of their clothes, magic weapons on their waists, and compasses in their hands turning back and forth.
As they got farther and farther away from Muxue City, the number of monsters finally increased.
They are very good at concealing their energy and can fly past monsters without being noticed, and this is true for monsters that are at a higher level than them.
Suddenly, everything went dark before their eyes, and a huge figure as big as a mountain appeared, emitting cold air. One of the monks didn't have time to react and was touched by the cold air, instantly freezing into an ice sculpture.
The captain looked up and met the gaze of the mountain-like figure, finally seeing the other party's identity clearly: "It's the Great Demon King of the Cold Elephant, run!"
The moment the others saw the Great Demon King Frost Elephant, they were filled with fear. Their rich experience of living on the ice field and fighting against demon beasts were all useless at this moment! The captain's shout finally freed them from their fear. They didn't care about hiding their breath and ran away.
The snake's tongue suddenly appeared and swept away another companion.
The white snake hid in the ice and snow, as if invisible, and no one noticed the existence of white.
"It's the Great White Snake Demon King!"
Monster beasts from the ice field legends appeared one after another, all of them were great demon kings. Everyone completely lost the ability to think and their eyes were dull.
…
"Follow closely and don't fall behind." Teacher Lu Doudou held a small red flag and organized extracurricular activities for the class.
"That's strange. They must be from the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. Why did they leave the city?" The two guards of Muxue City discussed in a low voice.
“I don’t know.”
Not long after the martial arts students left, the severely injured captain of the reconnaissance team staggered back and fell at the city gate with a thud. The two guards were so frightened that they rushed forward to check the situation.
The captain lay in the guard's arms, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed in the direction he came from.
"Quickly inform the city lord, the beast tide is coming..."
"What, a beast tide?" The two guards trembled. They all said that a beast tide was terrifying, but they had lived for so long and had never heard of Muxue City encountering a beast tide.
"Wait, aren't the people from Tiger Roar Martial Arts School heading in the direction of the beast tide?"
Outside Muxue City, Lu Yang brought more than 30 students. All of them were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, like little snowmen. Only Lu Yang was wearing a long gown with the tiger roar logo, which made him stand out from the crowd.
"Mr. Lu, isn't it too dangerous to conduct actual combat training right now?"
A student raised his hand tremblingly and asked, they came to class happily, but Teacher Lu asked them to go to the wild to kill monsters? That was a monster, even their parents would run away when they saw a monster, how could they be opponents? "You have practiced the Tiger Roar Fist for so long, it's time to test your practice results, don't worry, I won't pick too strong opponents for you."
The students wailed. Although they had the powerful Teacher Lu watching over them, what if something happened and Teacher Lu didn't come to take care of it? Lu Yang didn't care what the students thought. He continued to move forward with the small flag, and the students could only follow him.
"There are wolf footprints here. It should be in this direction!" Lu Yang squatted down, pointed at the blank snow and said confidently, like an experienced hunter.
"Teacher, there are no footprints here?"
"The footprints were covered by the heavy snow. You are still young and can't see them. The teacher can see the footprints under the snow."
The students looked at Lu Yang with admiration.
Lu Yang was very satisfied with the students' reactions and led them towards the direction of the wolf monster found by their spiritual sense.
After walking for an unknown distance, Lu Yang raised his hand and clenched his fist, signaling everyone to stop.
He pointed to the back of a huge rock not far away and said, "See that big rock? There is a wolf demon behind the rock. Based on my experience, it is a wolf demon at the second level of Qi training. It has one eye and a lame left leg. It was abandoned by the wolf pack."
Fang Zhige looked strange. Could this be determined from experience?
"Gong Che, Shi Yi, the two of you command the students to surround and suppress this wolf demon."
"yes!"
Gong Che and Shi Yi shouted at the same time, with a mixture of fear and excitement.
Among all the people, only Fang Zhige was the calmest. He had reached the great perfection of Qi training and could easily deal with those Qi training monsters.
"Xiao Fang, come here." Lu Yang waved his hand and called Fang Zhige to come under the pine tree.
"Don't fight with them. I will pick a Foundation Establishment monster with you."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Fang Zhige stepped back several steps and looked at Lu Yang in disbelief, who had a calm expression.
How is this possible? How could Teacher Lu see through his true cultivation? Even the Jindan-stage Murong Sect Master couldn't see through him! Could it be that Master Luo had never troubled him because Teacher Lu had dealt with him? Thinking of this, Fang Zhige lowered his voice and reminded him seriously: "Teacher Lu, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this muddy water. Maybe Master Luo is not a threat to you, but Master Luo is still being hunted down by the Ghost Killing League, and above the Ghost Killing League there is the Nine Ghost League. You will face endless hunts!"
Fang Zhige felt extremely regretful when he thought about how such a good teacher like Lu Doudou was facing a life-and-death situation because of his own affairs.
"Okay, kid, stop worrying about it and go kill your monster."
At this point Fang Zhige suddenly realized the biggest problem he was facing. He had just reached the great perfection of Qi training and had never fought against a monster in the foundation-building stage.
The assassination skills he learned are useless against monsters.
"Go one mile north, there is a snow fox in the early stage of foundation building. Go and fight him."
Lu Yang patted Fang Zhige on the back and told him to hurry up.
After Fang Zhige left, Lu Yang stroked his chin and said, "By the way, is the environment around Muxue City so good? It took us so long to find the monsters, and their realms are not very high."
"Fairy, what do you think..."
"Awoo awoo - I am a wolf now, awoo -"
In the spiritual space, heavy snow fell like goose feathers, submerging the palace of the Soybean Dynasty. The roof of the palace seemed to be non-existent, and it was snowing inside the palace as well, covering the ground and the throne with a thick layer of snow.
The immortal fairy was wearing a white wolf skin, jumping up and down in the snow, howling and waving her wolf claws. When Lu Yang turned around to ask a question, she suddenly pounced on Lu Yang.
"Fairy, what are you doing?"
After Lu Yang stood up unsteadily, he found that the Immortal Fairy had covered him with the fur of some unknown monster while he was not paying attention.
"This is a wolf's skin."
"Isn't there an idiom called '狼狈为坚', which describes the good relationship between a wolf and a hyena. Now I am the wolf and you are the hyena. Our relationship is indestructible!"
