Not far away, the terrifying Winged Demonic Tiger maintained its pouncing posture, but it had turned into a piece of charcoal. Even its corpse was incomplete.
Chen Xiaojia was still holding the spell scroll that had been torn into two pieces and lost its function.
No matter how she flipped through the scroll, she was unable to believe that such an unremarkable scroll was actually able to … kill that despairing Devil Tiger?
At this time, a huge spirit power escaped from the Winged Demonic Tiger.
Like a river, it flowed into her body.
For a moment, Chen Xiaojia's eyes widened. She could clearly feel the huge spirit power pushing into her body, almost bursting her. With a little refining, the power flowed into her body and nourished her.
Her soul was happy.
As long as she refined this huge spirit power, it would be more than enough for her to advance to the Double Awakening Stage.
The other students who had survived looked at Chen Xiaojia in a different light.
Especially the strange objects in her backpack. Some of them showed a fiery expression.
However, they soon saw Chen Xiaojia tear open another scroll, and a stream of air surrounded her. She quickly put on an unknown white bracelet and handed some items to the chubby girl.
In an instant, the two girls were fully armed. It was like they had changed from white equipment to purple equipment with a full set of advanced buffs.
There's no doubt that even if another Winged Demonic Tiger came, it would be killed by these two girls.
They couldn't afford to mess with them …
At this time, someone remembered what Chen Xiaojia said before.
It seemed that these equipment props came from her cousin.
And her cousin was planning to open a martial arts school?
Some of the more shrewd students' eyes lit up.
… …
… …
Shock!
The Zhentian Martial Arts School's team was attacked by a demonic beast. The team fled in all directions, and the students suffered heavy casualties.
This news, before Chen Xiaojia returned to the shelter, had almost spread throughout the Luoxia Shelter.
As one of the five major martial arts schools in the Luoxia Shelter, Zhentian was well-known and powerful. No one would have thought that just an ordinary training trip would encounter such a big danger.
It was said that the team also had a master from the Zhentian Martial Arts School. But in the face of sudden danger, they still couldn't play much role.
Tang Yu was also shocked when he heard the news. He remembered his cousin, Chen Xiaojia, had participated in the Zhentian Martial Arts School's field training today.
Although he gave his cousin so many life-saving tools, he never thought about the possibility of an accident beforehand. The training site was only in the area not far from Luoxia. The threat of demonic beasts was not big. With the strength of the Zhentian Martial Arts Hall, no hunters would provoke them.
From his point of view, rather than calling this an experience, it would be more appropriate to call it a field trip.
There wasn't much meaning to it, and it wasn't dangerous either.
"Damn Luoxia was really dangerous. Luckily, Xiao Jia is fine and will be back in the shelter soon."
He had contacted them through a special tool.
However, most of the martial arts school's students had disappeared. Perhaps they were swallowed by the demonic beasts, or they were running around like headless flies. No one knew where they went.
With most of the students' immature combat performance, not many of these people could survive alone in the wilderness.
Even if the Zhentian Martial Arts Hall sent a search and rescue team, they were still questioned by many students' families. The martial arts school's reputation fell to the freezing point.
Tang Yu got the news from Shay, who had been squatting at the Mercenary Union for a long time. In just half an hour, the Mercenary Union had more than a hundred search and rescue missions issued by the students' families.
He wasn't short of money now, so he wasn't interested in such a mission at all.
Just in case, he asked Star and Moon to bring back Chen Xiaojia, who was still in the wilderness, along with a group of students.
In this way, his unnamed mercenary group had completed more than 20 missions in less than 24 hours after registration. This had already broken the Luoxia Mercenary Union's record and left the second place far behind.
One after another, the martial arts school students were successfully rescued. But most of them were still alive.
A young man ran through the jungle, glancing back from time to time.
Finally, he stopped, panting. "Phew … fortunately, it seems … we finally got rid of them."
Click.
Click.
A strange sound came from not far away.
The young man raised his head, looking nervously and vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
There, a skeleton pushed aside the grass and appeared in his line of sight.
The skeleton was about the same height as a human. Its bones were silver-gray in color. It seemed to be wandering aimlessly at a slow speed.
The young man calmed down and moved his feet, trying to avoid the skeleton without disturbing it.
However, in the next moment.
Click, click, click.
The skeleton's neck turned 90 degrees, making a crisp sound. The two empty eye sockets reflected the burning flames as it rushed straight towards the young student.
The young man was considered one of the better students in this group. Although he was nervous, he didn't panic.
He looked at the sword in his hand. Even in a crisis, he didn't lose it. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The skeleton's aura wasn't strong. With a weapon in hand, it wasn't a threat.
He calmed down and waited for the skeleton to approach. He raised his sword high and slashed at the skeleton's cervical vertebrae.
Clang!
The sword was blocked in mid-air.
The skeleton's raised palm, made of only a few bones, firmly grasped the sword, unable to move.
The young student was horrified. He loosened his grip on the sword and wanted to escape. But his expression froze on his face.
He saw.
The skeleton raised its other hand.
Its finger pointed to the young student's forehead. There, a hole gurgled out of it.
The flames burning in the skeleton's eye sockets became more and more fierce. Its upper and lower jaws opened and closed, making a strange sound.
"Luoxia … human … food …"
The young student's body in front of him had dry sores visible to the naked eye. And on the skeleton's silver-gray bones, something was slowly growing.
… …
… …
Lincheng area.
Everything here was still the same. The convoy from Hengcheng hadn't returned yet. During this time, more and more hunters were traveling between Lindong and Tree Shade.
The Demon Slayer Series long sword, the Cloud Breaker Series battle sword, and other extremely sharp weapons and equipment that even exceeded people's imagination gradually appeared in the vision of Lindong hunters. Even if many people had only heard of it and hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
The reputation of the Tree Shade Shelter gradually spread, no longer limited to the upper class.
Those hunters and even some well-informed survivors would occasionally mention it in their conversations. Naturally, the most talked about was the equipment that flowed out of the Tree Shade.
The name of the Tree Shade began to ferment in the Lindong area.
Everything was moving in a favorable direction.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two-thirds of a day had passed.
