The Emperor of the Human Race, a Versatile Mage

Chapter 300: Clever, strange passage
-------
The shadow mage glanced at the three of them with unkind eyes and asked: "Where are your companions? The bounty was jointly issued by two master hunters. Why are you the only one, and your age..."

Lingling also knew that her age was often doubted by others. If it were normal times, she would be happy to educate the other person and tell him that she obtained the qualification of Master Hunter based on her strength.

But now, she was afraid that this guy would kill randomly, so she could only use words to stabilize him.

"He is cleaning out the giant lizard-skull monster group in Dongting Lake alone to earn some hunter points. As you know, there are dozens of giant lizard-skull monster groups, and he has only cleaned up a dozen. It will probably take several days before he can come and fight with them. We’ll meet up.”

Cleaning out the lizard-skull monster tribe?

After listening to Lingling's words, the Shadow Mage would naturally think that the opponent's partner might have extraordinary strength, otherwise it would be impossible to clean up the demon clan alone.

Moreover, the other party will come to join them. With the other party's strong strength and the judgment of the master hunter, it may be difficult for him to do it without leaving any traces.

As for this little girl, she is also a master hunter?
Probably her companion was strong enough and brought him along easily.

After some calculations in his mind, the shadow mage put away the short blade in his hand, then looked at Zhao Jian and said coldly: "He has provided you with clues. Are you already planning to give him the bounty?"

"Of course not, this is just a clue. We haven't seen Kui Niu yet. The reward will be given to whoever gives us first-hand information on Kui Niu, but..."

Lingling glanced at the shadow mage and said, "Killing the contracted beast can only be regarded as a conflict. You can negotiate and resolve it. Killing someone is not in compliance with the rules of the Hunter Alliance."

Hunting mages should watch and help each other in the wild. If intentional killing is discovered and the facts are clear after investigation, the murderer will also be classified as a criminal, arrested, and wanted.

"Hey, negotiate...Boy, do you want to negotiate with me?" the shadow mage asked disdainfully.

Zhao Jian quickly shook his head.

negotiate?

Negotiation is nonsense, your life will be lost.

"That's good, just stay here and don't move. My people will be here soon."

The shadow mage's words made several people's hearts sink.

Damn, this guy has teammates!
"Lingling Lingling, are you okay? We have led these blue rock demons in a big circle!"

Mo Fan's voice suddenly came out from the intercom. It was very lively over there, and he was leading the demon in circles.

The shadow mage glanced at Lingling and chuckled, "The equipment is good. This seems to be the latest model of the military's communication equipment that can not be sensed by monsters, right? There is no such thing on the market."

"Yes, but the effective range is relatively short and can only be used within twenty or thirty kilometers. It depends on the environment. The terrain will affect the communication distance and dialogue."

Lingling answered, and then pressed the button: "This place is blocked by a lot of rocks. There are few of us, so it will probably take a while to dig. How about you go around for another two hours?"

"Two hours? Then I'll just kill these stone monsters. Do you really think I'm a vegetarian? Old Zhao, please defend me."

"Zhou Cao, you are so fucking crazy!"

There was the sound of thunder and fire magic exploding over there, as well as Zhao Manyan's angry curses. It was obvious that Mo Fan and the stone demon were involved.

Lingling decisively ended the call, and several people just stood there with big eyes open.

After a few minutes, a team of mages arrived.

There were seven people in the group, including the Shadow Mage, a total of eight. Mu Ningxue sighed secretly, and the ice bow had already been put away.

One, she can still fight, eight high-level mages, and none of them seem to be good. She really has no choice but to rely on her clever little brain to deal with them.

"Yang Teng, what's going on with the middle-level mages nearby?" asked a middle-aged man at the head.

"Captain, they are here to help lure away the demons. The clues to Kui Niu are here, but the passage is blocked by too many stones." The shadow mage said.

The captain glanced at Lingling and the other three, and then said: "That's it, earth element, please clean up the passage."

Two earth mages came out and used earth magic to clean up a large amount of rubble in the passage.

Seeing their flexible use of earth magic, Mu Ningxue confirmed that these people were powerful figures in the high-level and were extremely proficient in the use of power.

"What's going on with those monster attractors? Do you want our help? A few mid-level mages." The captain asked after arranging for people to dig holes and guard them.The shadow mage glanced at Lingling and said, "Little girl, what do you think?"

"Of course, I'm sorry to bother you, but they are my partner's subordinates. It would not be good if they died." Lingling said calmly.

Zhao Jian felt that this little girl was so calm, and so did Mu Ningxue, who was expressionless throughout the whole process, while he was almost scared to the point of peeing.

The captain asked in confusion, "Who are these people?"

"Kui Niu's reward was issued by her companions. Don't underestimate her, she is also a master hunter. As for that kid -" the shadow mage pointed at Lingling, and then at Zhao Jian, "he is our competitor, found out I got a clue about Kui Niu here, but now he’s out.”

Zhao Jian could only smile and show that he was harmless.

"Her companion? Is he the Blood Whip Butcher?"

A female team member spoke, looking at Mu Ningxue and Lingling, lingering on Lingling for a while, and said with a smile: "When I collected intelligence before coming here, I also heard that the master hunter did it alone, and it only took a few days. Over time, we eliminated 37 groups of giant lizard-skull demons with threat ratings around Dongting, and with a large number of points, we were upgraded to six-star hunter masters in one fell swoop."

This female team member also proves what Lingling said before, her partner is super awesome!

The captain looked surprised: "I haven't heard of this. I have been collecting information about Kui Niu these days... Is it true that one person has cleaned out so many giant lizard monster lairs?"

The female team member replied: "Of course, although the master hunter also hired a team of hunters, that team only had mid-level strength and was solely there to help collect trophies."

"Awesome, I must get to know such a powerful mage if I have the chance." The captain couldn't help but admire this employer whom he had not met yet and had only heard the legend about.

As a team, it is no problem to fight against a leader giant lizard, but to deal with an entire group of lizard-headed giant monsters?
Sorry, magic is not supported.

Therefore, the Blood Whip Butcher, who was able to clean up 37 lizard-skull monster lairs in a few days, put a lot of pressure on people.

The shadow mage couldn't help but pull down some of his hood brim, wondering what he was thinking.

The captain came to his senses and said, "Yang Teng, go and support those mid-level mages."

The shadow mage said 'hmm', and the fleeing shadow disappeared.

Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

By now, there should be no problem.

In the shadow of the famous tree, Jiang Zhao's reputation as a hunter has spread. It is really useful to use it at a critical moment. The things Jiang Zhao can do and his powerful strength can intimidate people. He fell into this group of hunters who licked blood from the tip of their swords and acted recklessly.

She gave Mu Ningxue a reassuring look, and Mu Ningxue nodded to show that she understood.

Now, as long as these people don't go crazy, they shouldn't do anything to them.

"Captain, something is wrong!"

shouted the earth mage who was clearing the passage.

The captain of the high-level hunter team originally planned to get close to him and learn more about the blood whip butcher, but after hearing this, he could only hurry over and check.

"what happened?"

"Captain, look, these stones are secreted by the channel itself!"

Where the earth mage pointed, large rocks one or two meters in diameter were born in the stone passages, as if giving birth to children. The passage that had just been cleared would soon be blocked again according to this posture.

"That's a strange thing."

These stones are not blocked by landslides or other methods at all, but are secreted by the stone channel itself, forming an obstacle.

"Captain, this passage will be blocked by itself. Do we still need to continue cleaning it?"

"I don't know how deep it is inside. I used a secret method to sense it. It's beyond my range of perception. The passage is at least 6000 meters long."

A big problem was placed in front of them.
