Chapter 68 - 8: Young Master
Chapter 68: Young Master
Inside a cave on the main peak of Northwind Mountain.
If there was a purgatory in the world, it would definitely be here.
Human tendons hung between the cracks of the mountain rocks like willow branches, and human flesh had turned into a carpet, spread on the ground.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the stench was unbearable.
The scarlet blood flowed along the ground and into the center of the cave, where it was swallowed by a magic circle.
The light emitted by the formation was becoming brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the cave, and heavy snow fell from the sky with ice shards.
The bird-type demonic monster from earlier had descended from somewhere and transformed into a human-faced man with a bird’s body and a pair of wings. He was a few feet tall and quite handsome.
The moment the Birdman stepped into the cave, the temperature in the cave immediately dropped by a few degrees, and blood flowed into the cave.
At this time, a lazy voice came from the depths of the cave.
“Xue Peng, how many times have I told you? Your presence will delay the completion of the array.”
The Birdman strode forward, its claws like an elephant’s palm, splashing blood everywhere.
After walking into the depths of the cave, the monster beast knelt.
“Young master, please calm down. I have something to report,” the Birdman said respectfully.
In front of him was a throne made of human bones. The white skeletons reflected a scarlet blood light. On top of it sat a man with horns. He had a majestic appearance, and every breath he took exuded a terrifying aura.
The young master opened his ink-black eyes and nodded slightly, signaling the Birdman to report the situation.
“Right now, the human hunters from the outside world are all approaching this place.”
Hearing this, the young master changed his posture and asked again, “It’s fine. As long as we wipe out this trace, we can complete the array!”
After saying that, the young master of the monster pointed his finger. A pitch-black container filled with clear water appeared between the two of them.
Then, the water’sm surface immediately reflected the scene of the battlefield in front.
“Echo Strike!”
A hunter warrior slammed the ground with a heavy hammer.
The phantom of the heavenly dog attached itself to his body, providing him with powerful attributes.
At the same time, the hammer in his hand shone with the cold light of Sharp Blade Peak!
“Boom!”
The ground cracked open, and a shock wave that passed through the ground attacked a group of monsters.
In an instant, the sound of bones cracking followed.
The strength of this team of monsters was decreasing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
“Lu Benwei, this kid is really f*cking awesome!”
“I never dreamed that I would be so fierce one day!”
As they all had Lu Benwei’s extremely powerful skills, everyone felt like they had god’s help.
After the wave of monsters was repelled, everyone began to praise Lu Benwei.
“The key is that he can increase our level and heal. As expected of a magician!”
“In the future, I’ll never look down on magicians again!”
Lu Benwei listened to everyone’s praise and said, “Now isn’t the time to be careless. It’s been half an hour, but there’s still no movement from the monsters. I think the next wave of monsters will be even more violent.”
When everyone heard this, they did not seem to care.
“It’s okay. Lu Benwei, you can increase your strength and heal. We’ll kill as many as they come.”
Someone even suggested, “I think we should all fight around Lu Benwei. This will minimize our losses.”
“Good idea.”
Everyone raised their arms and completely regarded Lu Benwei as their backbone.
Lu Benwei sighed and turned to look at the pillar of light on the main peak of Northwind Mountain.
He frowned slightly. With so many different monsters, they could form a huge army. There must be a powerful monster behind this, controlling everything.
However, there were no clues yet, so Lu Benwei could only take one step at a time.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei felt an extremely cold gaze. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the crowd.
Among the crowd, only Gao Renchao’s facial muscles were tense, and he was staring at him with blood-red eyes.
Lu Benwei once again stole his limelight.
“Damn it, Lu Benwei stole our limelight again! Damn it!” Gao Renchao gritted his teeth in anger. “Being stepped on by a magician, the Hunter Special Combat Class has lost all their face!”
“But we can only watch,” Mo Tianyu said helplessly. “We all need Lu Benwei’s ability.”
After letting out a heavy sigh, Gao Renchao swallowed the anger in his heart.
…
“Boom!”
From the entrance of the main peak of Northwind Mountain, a terrifying aura fluctuation came out.
The young master of the monster clan laughed coldly. “To be able to detect my divine will, this human magician is quite interesting.”
Lu Benwei’s face was reflected on the black container in front of him.
After a pause, the young master of the monster said sternly, “Xue Peng, you’ll personally lead the elites and kill that magician at all costs.”
The Birdman was puzzled. He frowned and said, “It’s just a magician. Judging from his aura, he’s only level 23. Can’t we just send a warrior instead?”
“Are you questioning my orders?” the young master retorted coldly.
The temperature in the cave suddenly rose by 80 percent.
His blood was boiling, and blood-colored water vapor shrouded him.
“Your subordinate wouldn’t dare.” Xue Peng’s expression changed greatly. “I’ll immediately lead the troops and kill that magician!”
“Birdman, I hope you’ll remember that our plan can’t be messed up,” said the young master.
“I really like an old human saying, a dam of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest. Sometimes, an unremarkable little person can ruin our plans.”
“You are right, young master,” Xue Peng said with a humble expression. Then, he turned around and left the cave.
Soon after, the magical beast army blew the horn to signal their attack.
“Wuwuwu …”
The drawn-out sound of the drum reinvigorated the human side.
“Haha, I can’t wait any longer!”
A group of hunters outside the defensive line was overjoyed.
With Lu Benwei’s divine power, they had nothing to fear.
“Heavenly Dog’s Wrath!”
In the distance, Lu Benwei, who was in the middle of the defense line, cast an enhancement skill on his comrades.
One after another, the images of the heavenly dog appeared in the air. It was a spectacular and terrifying scene.
Just as everyone was rubbing their fists and preparing to start a massacre, a strange howl suddenly came from the magical beast army.
All the monsters’ eyes turned blood-red as they tried to protect themselves.
Everyone was stunned. After a few moments, they recovered and used their skills.
However, what puzzled people was the vanguard of the monster army seemed to be in no mood to continue fighting with them. After avoiding the first wave of attacks from the humans, they headed straight for the center of the battlefield.
After the first line of defense was broken through by some monsters, the hunters at the second line of defense showed their might and took care of many monsters.
Although there were some that escaped, they were enough for the hunters at the fourth line of defense to take care of.
“Are the monsters stupid? They’re using a suicide attack,” they asked in confusion.
