Chapter 36: Attack
The power of the intermediate magic hand of fire is better than the fire wall.
Because the nearby flames have not been extinguished, the more concentrated fire element energy particles also make the hand of fire released by Sean look a little bigger than usual.
The moment the huge hand of fire appeared, the action of the Blue Palate Feather King running towards Sean stopped abruptly.
It is true that low-level monsters are irritable and have low intelligence, but it does not mean that they like to die.
The desire for life and the fear of death made the Blue Palate Feather King, who was running, want to turn around and leave.
But at this time, it was too late for it to run!
The huge hand of fire caught up with the Blue Palate Feather King in an instant, not only gently pinching the Blue Palate Feather King to burn it thoroughly, but also turning several adult Blue Palate Feathers around it into a piece of charcoal.
The death of the Blue Palate Feather King and the increasingly strong flames and high temperatures around him finally made the remaining few Blue Palate Feathers completely lose their fighting spirit.
Under the threat of flames from all sides, these blue palate feathers fled in all directions, not even caring about the immature blue palate feathers behind them, and the more important blue palate feather eggs.
A big fire made the gray valley seem as bright as day.
...
When the flames gradually dissipated and the high temperature was neutralized in the cold and dark environment of the underground world, Sean could finally count his spoils.
Twenty-one charred adult blue palate feathers and a blue palate feather king were Sean's biggest gains on this trip.
He took the most precious bird claws and palate beaks of these blue palate feathers, half of which needed to be handed in, which was Sean's proof of completing the task.
For the other half of the bird claws and palate beaks, Sean could choose to give them to Boss to sell, or keep some for himself.
It has been a while since Sean, who has been watching his mentor and senior brother working at the laboratory table, has been itching to do it.
It would be a waste to give him such precious materials. Obviously, these blue palate feather claws and palate beaks with weak elemental power are just right for him to practice.
In addition to the above 22 blue palate feathers, Sean also gained seven eggs slightly larger than his fist.
Just a rough calculation shows that Sean's income this time exceeded 200 black gold.
In addition, he himself basically did not consume much, which was simply a free profit, and Sean's mood became much better.
The only drawback was that Sean did not have space equipment, so he could not pack up all the spoils and could only choose the most valuable parts.
Blue palate feather claws, palate beaks, eggs
The package on Sean's back was full, and he even took a hind leg of the blue palate feather king and tied it around his waist.
He was going to take this hind leg back to Lina to start eating.
As a black magic apprentice, after dealing with the spoils at hand, Sean's image at this time was really not flattering.
More like a hunter than a magician, Sean didn't care about the change in his image. He walked all the way to the outside of the gray valley.
When he arrived outside the valley, the underground humans appeared in front of Sean one after another.
What surprised Sean was that these humans actually joined forces to hold a seriously injured and dying adult blue-palate feather, obviously waiting for Sean to come.
The value of a demonized creature could not attract Sean at all. After all, he was not an entry-level apprentice who had just enrolled.
In the surprised expressions of these underground humans, Sean said: "Take this blue-palate feather and divide it up. There are still some blue-palate feather residues and underage blue-palate feather corpses in the gray valley now."
"These things should be enough to make up for the loss of your moss field being burned on a large scale."
Sean's words made these underground humans kneel down to him excitedly.
Not all black magic apprentices are as easy to talk to as Sean. The moss fields were burned by the flames, which certainly made these underground humans sad, but it was better than having all of them eaten by the blue palate feathers.
Sean didn't think much of the dozens of blue palate feather corpses, but they were treasures for these underground humans.
Meat has always been a luxury for ordinary humans in Mossobara City, not to mention the flesh and blood of demonized creatures and low-level monsters.
Sean guessed that these humans probably couldn't bear to eat the blue palate feather meat, or just ate a little, and chose to sell the big ones.
No creature in the underground world lives easily, everyone just wants to survive desperately.
Looking at these underground humans in front of him crying while kneeling and showing sincere gratitude, Sean's cold heart, which was cultivated in the cruel and oppressive atmosphere of the Black Magic Academy, was also slightly touched.
...
After leaving the Gray Valley, Sean returned directly to the direction of Mossobara City.
Before leaving, he had told the underground humans to dispose of the remains of the blue-pawed feathers as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the smell of blood and flesh completely dissipated, perhaps Sean would come here again to complete some academy mission next time.
The large amount of spoils he carried with him did not slow down Sean too much.
His physique was top-notch among the intermediate magic apprentices, and
those spoils were not heavy, they just took up more space.
Therefore, in the dark, Sean was like a huge black shadow moving fast.
The distance from the Gray Valley to the city of Mosobra was not far. As Sean had imagined before he set out, his mission could be completed within five days.
No, to be precise, four days was enough for him to complete the mission and return to the academy.
This was a relatively "safe" road.
But maybe it was the fire in the Gray Valley, or maybe Sean's luck was really bad this time. On the way back, he encountered an accident.
In the darkness, a dazzling light flashed in front of Sean in an instant.
The sudden crisis of life made Sean's hair stand up.
The neck under the magic robe even felt a little cold.
Fortunately, Sean reacted quickly and rolled sideways in time, otherwise his neck would have been cut directly.
The slight numbness from the neck made Sean's body stiff as he fell to the ground.
Almost instinctively, Sean raised his arm hidden under the black robe.
With the weak and wide vision provided by the pale mask in the dark, Sean fired the strong acid cane in his hand!
The attacker had been lying in ambush here for a long time, including it, with the idea of killing with one blow.
The previous blow had consumed too much of its strength, and it did not expect Sean to dodge in time and still have the strength to fight back.
The high-level magic corrosive acid of the strong acid staff made a sound similar to breaking through the air in the darkness.
A "muffled groan" sounded immediately, and Sean successfully hit the attacker.
The power of the strong acid staff had been demonstrated before.
The attacker was obviously not able to withstand a high-level magic. After taking a few difficult steps, he finally fell down.
It was not until this time that Sean suppressed the increasingly obvious numbness in his body and gradually walked in front of the attacker.
In the darkness, a dwarf wearing black moss leather clothes and only 1.2 meters tall gradually appeared in front of Sean.
Two huge, pure black eyes without pupils marked the other party's non-human identity.
And the dagger in his hand, with a mixture of light blue enchanting juice and blood on the blade, was obviously the weapon that injured Sean.
