Chapter 47: Intelligent Magic Beasts (2/2)

Suddenly, a scorching foul smell pervaded the air and she felt dizzy.

Yun Wu was horrified. She clapped her hand over her mouth and nose, but it was too late.

The Iron-Clad Snake gave a string of excited hisses, its giant tail sweeping towards her...

...

On the periphery of Magic Beasts Forest.

The four members of Long Qingxie's team had fulfilled their task almost in an exceptionally smooth manner.

Wu Qin waited and waited, yet Li Xin'er's team still didn't come back. He became a little worried.

Along with the others, he walked towards Li Xin'er's previous direction and started searching for them.

”Young friend, it's been almost two days since we entered this Magic Beasts Forest. What should I call you?”

While they were traveling deeper into the forest and searching, Wu Qin turned his head and asked Long Qingxie a question.

Dressed in white, Long Qingxie followed them with a slow step. Hearing Wu Qin's question, he answered idly, ”You can call me whatever name you want. I'm totally okay with it.”

Seeing his coquettish, languid look, the two female trainees swelled with anger.

After he heard the answer, Wu Qin's face slightly froze. Did this man wanted him to lose face in public?

He was a little angry. 'But if he's really the one who possesses that mystical power, then his wild arrogance is tolerable.'

”Then may I ask what are you looking for in Magic Beasts Forest?

My students have fulfilled most of their tasks. If you want, maybe they can help you,” in a mentor's tone, Wu Qin asked again.

Yet how could Wu Qin's true intention escape Long Qingxie's enchanting eyes which seemed to be able to see through people's minds.

The corner of Long Qingxie's lips curving into a languid smile, he said blandly, ”I think I'll spare you the trouble. I -- ”

However, before he finished his sentence, his voice suddenly paused.

A flicker of sullen look crossed his handsome languid face. He abruptly shot his left hand on his right arm. Just now, there was a faint palpitation in his blood.

This was a reaction provoked by the ”Blood Connector” he had planted in Yun Wu's body.

This indicated that her right arm had been wounded!

'Who can hurt her?'

'It's definitely not Li Xin'er...'

Seeing the sudden change of Long Qingxie's air, Wu Qin involuntarily took a step backwards.

Unexpectedly, that sullenness and eeriness of him gave Wu Qin a sense of danger and horror.

Only those who were more powerful than him could give him this feeling.

'Who's this guy exactly?'

”Ah...”

At this time, a female trainee screamed.

”Mr -- Mr. Wu. Look...” that female trainee dilated her eyes, pointing at the corpse which was being gnawed by two low-level wild leopards not far away.

Weren't those yellow clothes the exclusive uniform issued by Mighty King Warrior Academy?

Wu Qin and the other trainees looked at it, and their facial expression suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Qin swung his hand and a surge of power aggressively shot at those wild leopards.

”Ouh...”

Giving a roar of pain, the two wild leopards were hit by that potent force and thrown far away. In the next moment, their bodies exploded under the compressive power.

This was the Earth power that could be manipulated by masters of Earth Attribute.

With a sudden move of his body, Wu Qin rushed forward, followed closely by the other three trainees.

Long Qingxie didn't follow but concentrated his attention on finding Yun Wu's current position in this troubled, expansive Magic Beasts Forest.

There were only two bodies on the site.

Gu Qin and Xin Yi's bodies were not far away from each other but had been badly damaged due to the wild leopards' gnawing. They could only faintly tell that Gu Qin's neck had been wrung into a weird angle.

'His neck was wrung?'

'By somebody?'

'Somebody actually did this to him!'

Wu Qin's eyes were full of grief and rage. Gu Qin had been his favorite among all his students. If it had been a high-level magic beast that had killed him, he would have tolerated it, but it had been a particular person who had killed him.

And he had lost two talented students at a time.

How was he supposed to report this to the academy after he went back?

”Who did this?” Wu Qin roared in grief and indignation.

”Mr. Wu, come here! Hurry! I found a sword here!” the male trainee found something, yelling aloud.

Face flushing with anger, Wu Qin instantly shot over with a sudden move of his body.

A sword inlaid with rubies stuck deeply into the ground, and there were two footprints nearby, suggesting that somebody had been standing there.

After seeing these, Wu Qin's eyes swept around. Signs of a fight could still be seen, but there were only four people's foot prints.

'Among the four of them, that guy's the only one who can stick a sword deep into the solid ground without using any warrior power...'

At this thought, utmost anger instantly rose in him.

”You killed my students, kid. I'll tear you up into pieces...”

At the same second!

The sepulchral look on Long Qingxie's face suddenly changed, but it was not because of Wu Qin's remarks but because he had felt a sudden constriction in the heart when he was trying to sense Yun Wu's current position.

'She's in danger!'

Having sensed that she was somewhere in the depths of the south-western part of the forest, Long Qingxie turned into a white blur after a sudden move of his body, shooting south-west.

However!

”You evildoer! You want to flee?” with a sudden move of his body, Wu Qin blocked Long Qingxie's path, eyes blazing with fury.

With a dreadful look in his eyes, Long Qingxie said coldly, ”Step aside!”

”Your companion killed two of my students, and yet you want to flee just like this?

Do you really think I'm just a foil?

Today, I'm going to take the lives of both of you to compensate for the loss of my students.”
