Versatile Mage: The Road to Invincibility

Chapter 4 Killing the Demon Rat

It was already dusk when the members of the city's demon hunting team arrived. After a slight delay, the moon was already high in the night sky. A slightly cold light was scattered, the cold wind was gusting, and the broken limbs were scattered on the ground, making people's hair stand on end, and it was awe-inspiring and frightening.

With Ling Tianyu's position as the center, the members of the demon hunting team searched in all directions. An unknown flame rose in their hearts, ready to tear the giant-eyed rat into pieces.

"hiss!"

Ling Tianyu was suddenly startled. After experiencing the bloody scene just now, his soul was stimulated. His mind first felt a stab of pain, and the whole forest scene appeared in front of his eyes:

Xu Dahuang pushed aside a piece of grass and burned a flame in his hand as lighting. Li Wenjie rode the wind track and galloped to search dozens of meters away from the team. Fei Shi used ground waves to move along the creek...

"This..." Ling Tianyu didn't have time to feel it carefully, and found an unusual noise in the direction of Xu Dahuang.

"Captain Xu, be careful of sneak attacks!"

Xu Dahuang's face was stunned, and he subconsciously dodged. A strong wind passed by him, and the black shadow flashed and hit the ground heavily.

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

The members of the demon hunting team noticed the movement in the distance and hurried to Xu Dahuang's location.

"Beast, taste the taste of fire!"

Xu Dahuang was frightened and roared, his calloused palms suddenly burst into violent flames!

"Fire burst!"

The blazing fire cut through the night, shining wantonly, flying towards the giant-eyed rat like a meteor.

In the light of the fire, the figure of the giant-eyed rat was fully revealed, with pupils the size of basketballs, densely covered sarcomas that were horrifying, a neck as thick as a human being's arms, and a blood-filled mouth that seemed capable of swallowing an entire adult at once!

Ling Tianyu asked himself, if he was suddenly attacked by such a demon, would he be able to react in time and fight back?

The answer is already obvious. He and the demon rat are at a 30-70 ratio. In three minutes, the giant-eyed fishy rat is 70-70 full.

Just for a moment, the giant-eyed rat noticed the heat wave behind him, contracted its leg muscles, exerted a little force, and moved away a few meters away.

"Hiding? Is it useful?"

The arrogant voice resounded through the woods, and a small ball of fire suddenly exploded in mid-air. The hot and violent air waves spread wantonly around the point where the fire hit, and violently bombarded the giant-eyed rat that thought it was safe.

"Zizzizi!"

Through the firelight, Ling Tianyu saw a giant, fat-eyed rat that was blown several meters away and hit a large tree branch that was surrounded by two people!

"It's just a ditch rat. If it were a one-eyed demon wolf, I would still take a high look." Xu Dahuang said disdainfully.

Everyone in the demon hunting team is experienced and cautious. After all, the giant-eyed fishy rat is not at the center of the explosion. Although the power of [Fire and Explosion] is overbearing, it is far from enough to kill instantly. They need to block the demon rat's escape route in time to give the captain a chance. Release the second attack.

"Ice vine·covering!"

In terms of basic magic control ability, if the ice mage is second, no one dares to say that he is first. Guo Caitang decisively depicts the ice system star track, with seven blue stars reflecting the pupils, forming a wonderful and mysterious magic pathway, guiding the magic energy to be released from the body.

The ice magic energy overflowed and condensed into layers of ice mist when it came into contact with the external environment. It danced and dispersed like smoke, surrounding Guo Caitang's exquisite body, making her look like an ice and snow queen.

"Ice Mane·Condensation!"

The giant-eyed rat's back was scorched black, it screamed in pain, its blue eyes were bloodshot, and it suddenly entered a violent state.

"Careful, this mouse is mad!"

Xiao Ke reminded everyone.

The ice vines released by Caitang quickly reached the limbs of the giant-eyed rat, and climbed up to its bloated body without slowing down, temporarily controlling its movements.

"Kakaka!" The giant-eyed rat struggled angrily. Caitang's ice element was mortal, and her ice element cultivation was only at the second level of the elementary level. Cracks soon appeared on her ice vines. .

"I can't control my ice vines for long, captain, hurry up!"

Caitang shouted loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the giant-eyed rat broke free from its restraints. The tumors around its big eyes shrank, and a streak of red light struck Caitang.

"Water Control · Dissolve!"

Xiao Ke's crisp voice fell, and the floating water ribbon emerged, blocking the fierce scarlet beam.

Seeing that the giant-eyed rat was unable to hit it, it opened its smelly mouth and jumped up. Caitang could even see the dense jagged fangs in it!

"Earth wave, move!"

Caitang was carried away by the ground wave of Fei Shi, while Xu Dahuang quietly came behind the giant-eyed fishy rat, brewing magic in his hands again.

"Fire and Bone Burning!"

The giant-eyed rat's muscles have been paralyzed by the ice vines, the cold air seeps into the bone marrow, and its movement speed is less than half of its original speed. The attack that it could dodge with a single jump has now become a death talisman.

[Fire and Burning Bones] As the name suggests, as long as it is contaminated a little, it will quickly spread throughout the body, causing the enemy to suffer the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of fires.

………………

In short, under the siege of a few people with no martial ethics, the giant-eyed rat quickly turned into a charred corpse, which could not be called miserable.

In Ling Tianyu's field of vision, a light spot condensed over the corpse of the giant-eyed rat, as weak as a candle, and was pulled by some mysterious force to float towards the little unicorn pendant.

The rest of the demon hunting team showed no reaction at all, except for the necromancers. Perhaps only the mages with the soul vessels could sense it.

"Slave-level remnant soul!"

Ling Tianyu was slightly happy. As expected, his little unicorn was essentially similar to Mo Fan's little loach. It was a special totem vessel that could absorb the essence, and the remaining soul could be used by the host.

"It's a pity that the essence didn't explode!"

Ling Tianyu secretly regretted that the essence is essentially the source of the demon's soul. Unfortunately, the probability of its release is extremely low. If you are not lucky, you may not get it even if you kill hundreds of demons. In most cases, what you get is still a broken soul, which has limited value.

In comparison, the lowest-level slave spirit can be sold for a high price of five million. In an auction in a metropolitan city like the Demon City, it can still command a reasonable premium. If he gets a slave spirit, he will become rich overnight!

In the previous life, an ordinary person had five million. If he spent a little sparingly, he could live a stable life. But in this magical world, five million can't even buy half a spiritual seed.

As for why it’s so expensive? Slave spirits have a wide range of uses, and the most well-known one is to make [Stardust Magic Weapons]. This type of magic weapon can extend the training time of ordinary mages and is of great benefit to the growth of the mages' cultivation.

Of course, there is a second purpose, which is to use the essence to strengthen the stars, and the magic power will rise sharply. For example, the power of elementary fourth-level magic is directly equivalent to half of mid-level magic.

As for the second function of the little loach in the original work [Growth-type Stardust Magic Weapon], Ling Tianyu has not yet awakened the magic, and it is currently impossible to verify whether the little Qilin has this function.

"Finally got rid of this beast!"

"I didn't expect this mouse to be quite tenacious. It was still alive and kicking after being hit by [Fire·Explosion] twice by me. If Caitang's ice element hadn't interfered with its movements, it would have been really hard to kill!"

Xu Dahuang sighed with emotion, and then said to Ling Tianyu, "Little brother, thank you for discovering the demon rat's actions and saving my life, Old Xu! If you have any trouble in the future, you can tell me and I will help you solve it!"

"Little brother, I can't believe that your observation ability is so strong!"

Ling Tianyu forced a smile, the strange feeling in his mind became more intense, and he hurriedly found an excuse to stay away from the demon hunting team.
