Chapter 105 Returning to the City
However, just as the wind serpent's iron tail was about to touch Xu Zhaoting, a layer of air shield suddenly appeared on his body, blocking the iron tail.
The air shield disappeared after blocking the wind serpent's attack.
Although the attack was blocked, the powerful force of the iron tail still sent Xu Zhaoting flying, causing him to crash directly into the cliff wall. This injured his back, and he couldn't help but cough up blood. Fortunately, he didn't die. He gasped for breath, but his eyes shone with excitement.
"Got you!"
Yunhua saw Xu Zhaoting being knocked away, but he had no time to pay attention to that. His priority was to deal with the wind serpent first!
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering Strike!!!"
The scorching flames flowed into his fist, and Yun Hua swung his hand fiercely, unleashing a dazzling fist of flames that slammed into the frozen wind serpent.
The wind serpent's scales can resist low-level magic, but they are absolutely unable to resist mid-level magic.
As expected, Yunhua's fierce punch directly shattered the wind serpent's scale defense, revealing the snow-white snake flesh protected by the scales.
That's how violent and domineering the intermediate-level Fierce Fist is!
Flames raged, snake flesh sizzled, and the wind serpent rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames coiling around its body.
However, when it finally extinguished the flames, it suddenly felt a terrifying pressure.
"Thunderbolt - Top-Down Strike!!"
After being knocked down, Xu Zhaoting did not lie on the ground. Instead, he endured the pain and stood up, displaying his destructive magic, a lightning magic that was said to be only one-thousandth of the initial awakening level.
And it's a mid-level lightning magic!
A thundercloud appeared in the sky at some unknown time, and suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot down, striking the rolling wind serpent directly.
It must be said that, at the same level, lightning is more powerful than fire. The wind serpent was even struck so hard that its whole body was stiff, with strands of electric arcs wrapped around it, making it look like it was half dead.
"Damn demon!"
Seeing Zhang Lulu about to go forward to check, Yunhua quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't go yet. Snake demons are mostly very resilient. It's just stunned by the lightning and might be playing dead. Go check on Xu Zhaoting's injuries first, I'll finish him off!"
Yunhua gathered magical energy, then slammed his right hand into the ground. The earth cracked open, and a pillar of flame burst forth, shooting into the sky like an uncontrollable volcanic eruption. The wind serpent in the middle suddenly twisted and turned. Under the threat of death, it actually broke through the paralysis of the lightning and began to move.
But it was all in vain. The wind serpent's small body was engulfed in the towering flames, and only a dark shadow could be seen writhing and twisting within it before it gradually lost all movement.
Zhang Lulu ran towards Xu Zhaoting: "Are you alright, Zhaoting?"
"It's alright, I'm not going to die!" Xu Zhaoting smiled, which would have been even more convincing if it weren't for the blood at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Lulu quickly took out the prepared medicine and gave it to Xu Zhaoting. After taking the medicine, Xu Zhaoting felt much better, but the stinging pain when he breathed made him realize that the injury in his chest was serious. However, he would be fine as long as he returned to Fenglai City and found a healing magician.
Yunhua didn't have many healing medicines in his pocket. As a poison mage, he could heal by taking poison, but Xu Zhaoting obviously couldn't.
"Zhaoting, are you alright?"
"It's nothing serious, let's go see what was left behind?" Xu Zhaoting, despite coughing up blood, didn't forget to search the corpse.
After all, he had been injured for the sake of this wind serpent. If he didn't get anything, it would be a huge loss. The ground, scorched black by the flames, and the smell of the charred corpse of the wind serpent made Zhang Lulu almost unable to stand. Yun Hua was better off, as he had encountered even more unpleasant smells when making commissions.
Enduring the strange smell, the three approached the corpse of the wind serpent.
"It's a pity it's just a remnant soul, not worth much." After searching for a while, Xu Zhaoting shook his head and said that the wind serpent had only dropped a remnant soul.
After collecting the remnant soul using the Soul Vessel, Yunhua took out a small knife and cut off the wind serpent's already mangled skin. Then, with another swift stroke, she removed the most important part of the wind serpent's body: its bones.
Looking at the well-preserved snake bones, Yunhua felt very fortunate. He had been worried that his fierce punch might damage the snake bones.
Besides the snake bones, Yunhua also found several small bluish-gray scales on the wind snake.
"This is... a different kind of bone?" Zhang Lulu asked.
"This does seem to be a strange bone, or rather, a strange scale. However, there are far too few of these strange scales to make any magical artifacts. They can probably only be used as auxiliary materials." Yunhua was knowledgeable and recognized it immediately.
"But it can still be sold for some money."
Yunhua wanted to say something more, but seeing Xu Zhaoting still coughing up blood, she said, "Let's take Xu Zhaoting back first. It's best to find a healing mage to treat his injuries."
Yunhua led the two back to the city quickly. On the way, she couldn't help but sigh that Xu Zhaoting was really unlucky. She originally thought that her telekinesis would protect him and everything would be fine, but in the end, he was still injured. It just goes to show that when people are unlucky, there's no stopping them.
After entering Fenglai City, Yunhua and his group went directly to the Fenglai City Magic Association. Looking at the interior decoration, Yunhua sighed inwardly, "No matter where you are, the Magic Association is as extravagant as ever."
Zhang Lulu took Xu Zhaoting directly to find a healing mage at the Magic Association. Due to funding issues, they could only find a beginner healing mage, but given Xu Zhaoting's injuries, a beginner healing mage would suffice.
Xu Zhaoting and the others handed over the materials obtained from the Wind Serpent to Yunhua for processing; the proceeds from the sale will be transferred directly to them.
Yunhua decided not to disturb their sweet nothings and went downstairs to look around the lobby.
The Magic Association also issues some missions, but they are a group of self-important people who have set up a special side hall for them.
The side hall was just as magnificent as the main hall; when Yunhua first saw it, she thought she had entered a banquet hall.
Yunhua walked to the huge light screen on her own and looked at the tasks one by one.
The Hunter's Alliance serves everyone from high-level mages to ordinary people who don't know magic. Most of the Magic Association's missions are high-value ones. For example, he saw a mission that was always available: to acquire wind serpent bones.
Yunhua glanced at the price, which seemed fair enough, and handed over the snake bones and strange scales he had.
Then, they took Xu Zhaoting's share of the reward and transferred it directly to him.
After doing all this, Yunhua left the Magic Association and returned to the hotel she had previously rented, intending to take a shower and rest first.
When Yunhua returned, she found someone already in the bathroom, humming a little tune.
Looking at the cloak placed outside the door, who else could it be but Yunhua's new senior sister, Aya?
