Chapter 98 - 84: The special beastman troop! Jiaojiao, let go!
Another passage.
Bai Jingqi and the others were also facing the assault of the half-human beasts.
It was unclear whether the road chosen by Li Zhen was flawed or for some other reason, but there were as many as four half-human beasts attacking their team!
“Awooo!”
In the darkness, a harsh roar echoed.
Bai Jingqi stepped forward, the round shield in his hand suddenly flickered with light.
Then he, like a frenzied rhino, charged out.
With a “bang”, he knocked down the half-human beasts leading the attack.
He sliced his blade towards the second halfling, attracting the hatred of the remaining three half-human beasts.
An axe came slashing down on his round shield, igniting a shower of sparks.
“Strike now!”
With a roar from Bai Jingqi, several of his followers sprung into action.
Li Jiao waved her hand and murmured an incantation.
A dark beam, fell upon the three half-human beasts.
The three that were attacking Bai Jingqi saw their speed decrease by thirty percent, and were hit by Bai Jingqi’s blade.
Slow spell!
A crimson portal shimmered from the bone staff in Li Zhen’s hand, and a large, blood-red magic circle appeared at his feet, radiating a cold aura.
Then, a demon with fiery red skin, devil wings on its back, a trident in its hands, naked with scales covering its private areas, climbed out of the formation.
Summon Demon!
As a demon warlock, Li Zhen could improve his strength by summoning demons.
This demon was the first Li Zhen had summoned!
“Roar!”
Judging by the smell in the air, the demon’s eyes became excited and greedy as soon as he emerged.
Li Zhen voiced a harsh command, and the demon made a series of hurried calls.
Li Zhen’s expression changed, but he nodded in agreement.
He pointed towards the ongoing fight, and the demon rushed over excitedly.
With one thrust of its trident, a half-human beast was pinned to the ground, and the demon began to slaughter with great enthusiasm.
Li Jiao curiously asked, “Brother, what did the demon say?”
“He wants three blood meals!” Li Zhen replied with a frown, “The summon can last for six hours this time.”
“We need to finish the main task within six hours.”
“Three blood meals?”
“That means three half-human beast corpses!”
Li Zheng explained, “Each time this demon is summoned, a certain amount of blood meals must be provided. The quality and quantity of the blood meal will determine the time of his summon for this time.”
“However, this demon has a good aptitude; it is born with devil wings. If well cultivated, it may evolve into a higher-ranking demon over time.”
“Shh…!”
At this moment, the sound of air burning could be heard.
Bai Jingsheng was seen holding a slender brush, sketching in the air.
With his movements, slender lines appeared in the air, slowly forming an invisible talisman floating in the air.
Ice Seal Talisman!
“Go!”
With a command from Bai Jingsheng, the Ice Talisman turned into a white beam of light that struck one of the half-human beasts.
The majority of its body was instantly frozen into ice, beheaded by Bai Jingqi!
Soon, with the cooperation of the four, all four half-human beasts were killed.
“Awo awo”.
In the darkness, the demon summoned by Li Zhen was squatting on the ground, gobbling up the corpses of the half-human beasts.
With one bite, it could crush the half-human beast’s head.
The five could only stay cautiously around, waiting for the demon to finish eating.
In the darkness, Bai Jingsheng suddenly asked, “Qin Zheng, why didn’t you do anything?”
“Me?”
Qin Zheng shrugged and said, “You guys are enough, I don’t need to join the fray.”
“You…”
“Stop talking!” Li Zhen interrupted Bai Jingsheng’s questioning, his expression extremely cautious.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did you find something?”
The others asked in confusion, while Li Zhen took out a compass and started checking it carefully.
A few moments later, his expression changed drastically, “Run! Quick!”
“A large group of half-human beasts is coming our way!”
“Which way?”
“This way!”
Li Zhen pointed in a direction, uttering a series of peculiar cries from his mouth.
The demon, who had been devouring the corpses of the half-human beasts, stood up reluctantly and screamed in protest.
Li Zhen’s tone significantly changed, and with a stern command, the reluctant demon left the large thigh it had been gnawing on, picked up its trident, and rose.
Acting swiftly, with Bai Jingqi in the lead, the group of five and the demon sprinted into the dark mine ahead.
Only a few minutes passed before howls and noise could be heard from the darkness ahead.
“Enemies ahead!”
“And from the side!”
“Li Zhen! Make a decision!”
“Charge through!”
Li Zhen, holding the compass, roared.
“I will lead the way!”
Bai Jingqi yelled, finding at least a dozen half-human beasts in the dark mine ahead.
Before he finished speaking, a figure had already rushed out.
Qin Zheng!
“Roar…!”
In mid-air, an indescribable aura suddenly exploded.
Qin Zhen’s body abruptly grew taller, with two bulges growing on his forehead, his pupils turned into vertical copper slits.
His arms spread out, apparently developing scales.
The sharp claws tore through the air, emitting a ripping sound.
Hot waves of air radiated in all directions from him, noticeably weakening the momentum of the dozen half-human beasts that had charged towards them.
