Chapter 17 Do you have a natural talent?
With the last one-eyed demon wolf dying at the hands of Wang Yu's sword, the group was finally about to cross the viaduct.
"This guy is so reckless in his attack. Could it be that he has a natural talent or magic tool that can help him recover his magic energy?"
Chief Cheng frowned slightly and looked at Wang Yu in confusion.
The journey is so long and there are so many unknowns. Logically, everyone should know that if the fighting can be reduced, it should be reduced.
But this kid killed a total of eight slave-level monsters, and he always took the initiative to attack. There was no sign of serious damage on his face.
"No matter whether it is true or not, we must find a way to get him into the army once the crisis is resolved. Talents are hard to come by." Commander Cheng decided secretly, and his eyes became brighter as he looked at Wang Yu.
However, just as everyone was about to reach the inscription area, a part of the bridge apparently collapsed.
Looking at the huge footprints at the landslide site, it must have been caused by a general-level demon passing by here.
As a result, many people had to abandon their cars and choose to walk. This is also the case with modern transportation tools, which are extremely inconvenient and too dependent on roads.
Seeing Wang Yu staring at the motorcycle reluctantly, Chief Cheng laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Do you like this? I'll give you one when the crisis is resolved!"
"Ah? Can you give me this? Isn't this the property of the army?"
"Hahaha, I definitely can't give you this one, but there are a lot of similar ones on the market. I have three parked at home!"
As he was talking, Officer Cheng suddenly lowered his head away from everyone and whispered in his ear, "Hey, tell me the truth, do you have a natural talent?"
"Uh" Wang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this. He said nothing but just smiled foolishly and touched the back of his head, but it was obviously equivalent to his agreement.
"I knew it, good boy!" Officer Cheng patted Wang Yu on the shoulder again when he saw his reaction, then left with a hearty laugh.
After parking all the motorcycles on the side of the road, the eight people started to move forward. Instructor Luo Yunbo was a wind mage, so he was the one who led the way ahead.
It is more reassuring to act with soldiers than with students who know nothing. When exploring the way, Luo Yunbo would sometimes even use his wind track magic to lead away the monsters in front so that people could pass directly, saving a lot of time and everyone's combat effectiveness.
"A small team has found a small demon entrance and successfully destroyed it." Halfway through the journey, Officer Cheng came back from the front holding a walkie-talkie and said to others with a heavy face.
"That should be something to be happy about." Xu Dahuang immediately laughed.
"The team was also wiped out, and no one left alive." Officer Cheng added in a low voice.
The smile on Xu Dahuang's face froze immediately.
The others also opened their mouths, but were no longer happy.
There must be groups of demons at the demon entrance. It might be relatively easy to break in there, but once you try to destroy them, the noise caused will surely cause the team to be surrounded by angry demons in an instant.
In fact, when selecting the team members, Officer Cheng had already clearly told the team members that they would most likely not return from this mission.
"Let's keep going. We should be close to Mingwen Girls' Middle School." Officer Cheng said.
"Well, after passing this group of old houses, there will be a student street. After passing the student street, you will see the gate of the girls' middle school. Previous reports said that the cafeteria of the girls' middle school had been shaking for a long time, so the entrance for the demon is likely to be under their cafeteria." Xu Dahuang said.
Everyone nodded and continued on their way according to Xu Dahuang's instructions.
They encountered some difficult monsters along the way, but they were quickly dealt with by Officer Cheng.
A mid-level magician has deadly killing power against slave-level monsters, and can even kill them instantly. Unfortunately, Wang Yu only managed to grab three heads.
"It's so hard to finish off the enemy." With mixed feelings, Wang Yu walked past the corpse of another one-eyed demon wolf whose head was blown to pieces.
“Help!!! Help~~~~Save me~~~!!!”
Just as everyone was about to move on, a heart-wrenching cry was suddenly heard from the street ahead.
Xu Dahuang was about to take action when Officer Cheng immediately stopped him. Xu Dahuang was puzzled. When he was about to speak, Officer Cheng said coldly: "I said when we set out that our mission is to destroy the entrance of the demons. We will never help our relatives even if we meet them along the way."
"Except for Mo Fan and Wang Yu, I hope everyone else can understand what they have to do!"
Everyone was silent again. They were all military mages and obedience was their duty. So no matter how miserable the shouting was from the street corner ahead, they could only grit their teeth and stay where they were.
"There should be only a giant-eyed gorilla rat in front. I'll go and deal with it." Wang Yu, who had sensed the situation over there through the ground waves, stood up and said.
"Don't worry, after I get rid of the demon, I will find a safe place for that person to wait for rescue. He won't be a burden to us."
Before Officer Cheng could speak again, Wang Yu had already stepped on the ground waves and moved in that direction after saying this.
"You!!! That's all." Officer Cheng hesitated to speak. His words were only addressed to the other few people.
Since Wang Yu has the ability to not worry about the consumption of magic energy and it will not affect the rescue mission, he is definitely not an inhumane beast.
On the contrary, he wanted to save that person more than anyone else!!!
"What are you all standing there for? Go and support Wang Yu. If this kid loses a single hair, I'll hold you accountable!" Officer Cheng said as he kicked the butt of the man next to him.
"Boss, you are being unreasonable."
The military magician who was kicked pouted with a look of grievance, but when he saw Officer Cheng's murderous look, he dared not say anything anymore. He could only lower his head and quickly run towards Wang Yu.
After about half a minute, the human's scream disappeared, and was replaced by the giant-eyed gorilla's dying cry.
After a while, the officer and Wang Yu returned to the team together.
"I asked that person to go to a higher place. It is safer there after all."
"Well, let's all return to the team."
Officer Cheng didn't say much, and everyone continued to move forward.
Ahead was a fairly spacious street, and the road was empty with no vehicles. However, the sight of several bloody corpses on the asphalt road was horrifying, especially since these people had only been dead for a short time.
After taking a few steps forward, I saw the corpse of a giant-eyed fishy rat lying there.
There were traces of burns on its fur, but the fatal wounds were obviously the exaggerated wounds caused by the blades on its neck.
"Even if I didn't come, Wang Yu would have quickly dealt with this guy. Wow, fighting a monster in close combat is really a pleasure to watch. The young are really formidable." said the military magician who went to support Wang Yu just now.
Along the way, these people also witnessed Wang Yu's methods, but they didn't react too much.
After reaching the center of the road, the group found a female corpse at the entrance of an underground well, with her neck bitten open by a giant-eyed gorilla rat.
"They should want to evacuate through the sewer," Luo Yunbo said in a low voice.
"The sewer is the nest of giant-eyed gorilla rats. They are seeking their own death." Xu Dahuang shook his head helplessly.
The worst place to go is the sewers, as the demons flow through the underground world of Bo City to various areas.
"Let's go. If we don't destroy the entrance to the demons, more people will die." Officer Cheng said without any emotion.
The others nodded. Just as Mo Fan was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped.
His eyes were fixed on the wrist of the woman lying beside the well. He had never seen this woman before, but her bracelet was extremely familiar.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yu, who was standing beside him, keenly noticed something was wrong with Mo Fan. When he followed his gaze, he immediately understood what was going on.
Sure enough, he soon heard Mo Fan's trembling voice: "This is my sister's bracelet."
