Chapter 72: Destroy all demons!
The fourth day and night.
As the assessment was coming to an end, An Yuan's power surged, and he waved his hand:
"Mind Mage, please pay attention to everyone's mental state. Xia has prepared some refreshing powder. Everyone should drink it mixed with water at midnight."
"We will continue the operation tonight. Shadow mages will be on alert outside, and the team will shrink. We will target the valley where the manticores are. Let's go!"
……
After conquering three nests with many generals at night, An Yuan let the team rest for a few hours. At dawn, he recruited all the students he met.
An Yuan would take away all the gains of these students and use this to force them to do hard labor and work for his team for free. As a reward, he would return the original items they had stolen at the end of the assessment.
During the time it took to capture the two nests, the team expanded rapidly, with the number of intermediate level three mages reaching one hundred and fifty.
An Yuan reorganized the team again, called in Chen Yunya and Song Xuanshi, and spread out the map:
"The assessment is over at noon. Next, we will head to this location."
The two girls looked at the icon that An Yuan pointed to and were surprised:
"You plan to conquer the 'clan'?"
……
Demonic forces are generally divided into nests, tribes, and clans based on their number and strength...
The term "nest" refers to more than 50 demons.
A clan, also known as a population, generally refers to a huge force of hundreds of demons.
A tribe is a superpower formed by the union of multiple ethnic groups under the rule of a powerful demon.
In other words, if several different kinds of demon armies are found cooperating with each other in hunting, it means that there is a demon tribe here that is powerful enough to threaten the surrounding area of hundreds of kilometers.
"The rulers of the Weeping Forest are the Bone Demons. This race is different and can only reproduce by plundering other demons. Basically, no demon is willing to cooperate with them."
"Otherwise, under the threat of the former beast demon leader, this powerful race would have long since developed into a tribe."
"Fortunately, it is still within the ethnic group. As long as Hangzhou concentrates its forces, it can be dealt with quickly."
"So Dean Chi took the lead, and each family sent out several high-level magicians to kill the beast leader, which was also considered to eliminate this strategic risk."
An Yuan listened and called on the team to stop.
"Everyone, start setting up!"
……
The mage team occupied a small hill and flattened the surrounding trees to create an open terrain, which was extremely convenient for magical attacks.
An Yuan commanded the team to make arrangements using the old method, asking the necromancer to summon a few skeletons to lure the monsters forward.
The first batch attracted several high-level servants, and the wizard who lured the monsters could deal with them himself. The magic fluctuations immediately attracted two warrior beasts.
Attract the war beasts to the designated location, and the shadow mages in the team move as a group, imprison them, and kill them with demon-slaying tools without causing much noise.
They continued to lure monsters, and after using this method, they eliminated a war beast and several slave beasts. Then the leader of the other tribe realized that something was wrong and led the army to fight!
Seven hundred beast demons charged forward in a mighty force, among which more than thirty war beast demons as big as several stories high were extremely ferocious!
An Yuan looked at the other side's leader from a distance.
"A high-ranking warrior?"
In such a large-scale group battle, although high-level generals are powerful, the role they can play is greatly diluted due to the absolute gap in numbers.
After all, it was an academy assessment, and a high-level warrior would require a team of top-level mid-level mages to compete with. When the high-level mages cleared the Weeping Forest, they only left one high-level warrior behind, probably as the final boss.
After all, no one would have thought that someone would assemble a large force of 300 people during the assessment!
...The high-level general-level demon beast leader has strong physical fitness and defense, and his mental strength is as high as the middle stage of the second realm. Although he lacks long-range attack means, he is still an extremely terrifying war beast.
The two eerie bone wings on the back are extremely hard and can withstand the Thunderbolt·Wild Dance blessed by the spirit seed. The body is covered with a thick stratum corneum, and even the Fiery Fist·Nine Palaces blessed by the spirit seed cannot be burned in a short time.
It can even charge forward while receiving concentrated magic fire. If it is not restricted in time by the Shadow Mage team, it may even break through the first circle of the mage team!
But that's all.
An Yuan calmly gave the order, Kun Zhisen bound the demon leader and also served as a mark for Chen Yunya, who was waiting in anticipation, to lead the team and focus their fire.
Twelve spiritual thunderbolts, dancing wildly, and seven spiritual thunderbolts, Yaksha, instantly crushed the indestructible bone wings and tore the thick and tough stratum corneum.
The instantaneous burst of dazzling white lightning, followed by the loud bang of the explosion, made the entire battlefield silent.
The huge body of the demon leader, which was four stories high, turned into charred black ashes from top to bottom within a second, and was crushed into even finer powder by the fierce lightning.
Even so, the thunder did not let go of its remains, wantonly venting the wrath of heaven and scraping thousands of gullies on the earth.
The Bone Demon Clan was faced with terrifying magic that seemed to have the power of heaven. Many of the slaves were frightened and their pace of charging into panic pacing.
The leader was dead, and the slaves were already frightened before the remaining generals gave any orders.
An Yuan calmly ordered:
"Wind formation."
It was called a wind array, but it was earth magic that acted first.
Layer upon layer of rock barriers surrounded the mage team on the hill, and just a few seconds later, a cold whistling sound blocked out all other sounds and filled the entire world!
In the sky above the rock barrier, one could see turbid wild winds colliding, whistling, flowing, squeezing, and accelerating... rolling up the broken corpses of demons and blowing up soil and rocks all over the sky.
The ancient tree had its old bark peeled off, and wood chips were shaved off bit by bit along the annual rings, exposing the fragile heart of the tree, which was then shattered into powder by a gust of wind.
If this is true for trees, then demons are no different.
The large-scale strong wind sucked everything over. When the power weakened, An Yuan asked Song Ziya to light up the light and send out a signal amid the shrill shouts.
The wind mage led the fire mage to leave the protection of the rock layer. Not long after, the strong wind from the outside swept up countless gushing hot tongues of fire, burning the whole prairie to the ground!
The clear sky at ten o'clock was covered with dark clouds as the endless fire of karma burned.
The necromancer was overjoyed.
Hundreds of dead souls didn't even have a chance to fly into the air, and were all gathered by him.
According to the agreement, the essence of the soul belongs to the team, and half of the remaining soul belongs to him!
It’s been done!
……
"Is he a top talent cultivated by some Junfang?"
When Zhao Yuxiu saw the report on the final examination of Hangzhou University, his eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but ask out loud.
Hangzhou Academy is the cradle for cultivating mages in the entire city of Hangzhou. The results of the final examinations every year will be announced to all parties. This is not only to showcase the students they have cultivated, but also to discuss sponsorship issues for the next semester.
Hangzhou University supplies talents to various forces, and these forces will also invest a large amount of resources in the university every six months.
The meeting to decide on resources will be held today.
Within the trial council, Zhao Yuxiu's strength and status were second only to a few presiding judges, and he came to the meeting on behalf of the trial council.
He was completely shocked by An Yuan's performance.
