Chapter 96 Wu Ku Appears
They weren't in any danger outside.
Ahead was a crater. Their terrain was high, with large rocks providing cover, so they didn't need to worry about being discovered.
Those flying beasts only move around inside; they mostly sleep.
They waited for two days, during which they went back to the agate and red flower area to replenish their strength, but no other mages came.
They spent two days learning about their respective majors in magic in order to make assignments.
"As planned, I'm majoring in plant science, and I'll be working with Shaoqing to deal with that mid-level monarch-level beast demon. You two will be assigned to the other two," Ye Quan said.
"Sure, I'm a super-level mage specializing in fire and earth magic. One of you will die and help me deal with one of them. The other two, who specialize in defense, will hold off the other one. I'll take care of one as quickly as possible, and then you two can take care of the other one."
"If the battle remains deadlocked, we should try to escape together as originally planned. It would be best if we could kill them, but if we can't, then so be it."
They could go directly there; no one could stop ten super-level mages from leaving. The key was that they didn't care about the Black Church, so they were naturally happy to kill these flying beasts.
Moreover, killing them will still net you some money, so even if you don't get anything good in the end, you can at least mitigate your losses.
The plan is just a draft. Everyone here is a high-level mage, and most of them are hunters. Their strength is extraordinary, and their combat experience is extremely rich. Setting too many rules and regulations would only restrict them.
"No need to elaborate on the plan, just proceed as normal."
"Um... Old Ye," Cheng Du hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is that your friend?"
Cheng Du pointed to Su Ming not far away and said, "I felt something was wrong when Ye Quan said there were only ten super-level mages. Now it seems that the person was not a super-level mage."
Leaving aside how they got in, even a high-ranking mage like myself could easily die later.
"Oh, he's a mid-level mage, I think he just reached the mid-level. You don't need to worry about him," Ye Quan said. There was no point in worrying about him anyway. He would use plant magic to get him to the other side later. As a senior, it was only right to help his junior.
"Alright." Since Ye Quan said so, what else could be done? I could only agree.
Ten super-class mages—this lineup is already incredibly impressive. Although most of them might only be super-class in one element, those who can become super-class mages are all genius mages, none of them weak.
Their target was not only the three monarch-like beasts, but also imagined enemies, taking into account all possible unexpected events.
Even if a powerful member of the Black Vatican does appear, they can still leave.
This is the confidence of a super-level mage.
"Let's go, we can't let the others go in first, let's set off." Cheng Du led the group in, and Jiang Shaoqing was also in a hurry. When he and Cheng Du were entering the crater, it suddenly started raining heavily.
This scene caused Jiang Shaoqing's expression to change drastically. He shouted that something was wrong and turned around. There was indeed a figure standing behind them, blocking their retreat.
"Ye Quan, Wu Ku is behind us, stop him!" Jiang Shaoqing shouted. They had already entered, and the flying beast demons had seen them. If the flying beast demons and Wu Ku surrounded them, probably few of them would survive.
Jiang Shaoqing cursed inwardly, wondering why he hadn't discovered Wu Ku before. Wu Ku was too well hidden; he was simply undetectable.
"Wu Ku!" Ye Quan's gaze sharpened, and he instantly stood in front of Wu Ku.
"He's a water mage; he created this rainwater, so you can't touch it directly," Su Ming warned.
Ye Quan used the plant system to create a large shelter, where there was no need to worry about rain.
Wu Ku did not rush to make a move; he simply stood there.
This puzzled them. Jiang Shaoqing had said that Wu Ku was extremely strong, and none of them could match him, but now Wu Ku was not making a move and was just watching from the sidelines.
"Su Ming, do you know that someone actually asked me to come and kill you? I didn't want to come, but I couldn't refuse his conditions."
"Come kill me?"
"Yeah, I don't even know what grudge he has against you that he would want to kill you." Wu Ku shook his head.
Jiuying's actions were inexplicable.
However, the existence of Jiuying is inexplicable, so it's normal for it to do things that are a little inexplicable.
Su Ming leaned back a little, hiding behind Ye Quan. A super-level mage and a mid-level mage—these were not two different levels; encountering one meant certain death.
Seeing this, Wu Ku smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry. I won't kill you. Although he is of a higher rank than me, he can't command me. He can only make me act by threatening me. It's normal for me to slack off a bit."
Wu Ku seemed to have no desire to take action, and that was indeed the case; he didn't want to waste his energy on someone he knew.
Wu Kun could feel his water droplets getting closer and closer. The so-called captain of the Forbidden Army was about to arrive, and wasting time here was not a good option.
Jiuying isn't here, but he'll definitely come here. Wu Ku searched the surrounding area but couldn't find any trace of Jiuying. However, there were three flying beast demons here, but none elsewhere, which means Jiuying must be nearby.
Jiuying cares a lot about Su Ming, and she will definitely be able to sense it if Su Ming is thrown out.
Wu Ku thought that he grabbed Su Ming by the neck and lifted him up out of thin air. It seemed to be a spatial energy, but he did not feel any fluctuation of spatial magic energy.
What is that?
Ye Quan's mind raced with conflicting thoughts, but he couldn't find any clues. Just as Su Ming was about to leave the protection of his forest of trees, Ye Quan made his move.
Immovable as a mountain, swift as thunder and lightning.
"Put him down!" Countless trees surged out instantly.
The target was Wu Ku, but the trees suddenly stopped the moment they made contact.
It wasn't that he stopped, but that he was completely immobilized; he wanted to move but couldn't, because his magic had been neutralized by the opponent's magic.
"Heavenly Banquet Funeral." Ye Quan didn't care that plant-based magic was suppressed, but instead released a high-level spell as a test.
A meteorite was released into the sky, and then countless meteorites fell, staining the ground.
The plants were smashed to pieces, and flames were spreading, but none of this affected Wu Ku.
He stood there casually, tossing Su Ming out with a flick of his wrist.
The moment they were thrown out, the expressions on the faces of the people inside the crater suddenly changed drastically.
They could clearly sense that these flying beasts were stronger, but they couldn't explain why.
The one under the most pressure is Jiang Shaoqing. It was already difficult for him to fight a mid-level flying beast demon by himself. If it weren't for the heavenly lightning, he would have been no match at all. And if the opponent went berserk, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Jiang Shaoqing cursed under his breath, thinking that Wu Ku was a real devil who had to show up at this crucial moment.
Moreover, it blocked their escape route.
