Chapter 112 Squad
Just after Yunhua and the others left, a figure in cyan landed. The wind wings on Fang Zeyang's back slowly dissipated. His military uniform was torn to shreds, and his left hand hung limply, presumably broken.
Looking at the Azure Flame Bird Commander who was still barely clinging to life, Fang Zeyang snorted coldly.
"Light falls like a curtain!!"
As stars connect to form star trails, star trails intertwine to form star maps, and star maps in turn construct a constellation of stars!
Suddenly, it seemed as if endless arrows of light were unleashed, one after another, forming a continuous barrage. They shot at the Azure Flame Bird. Although a single arrow of light was not very powerful, the arrows of light seemed to be inexhaustible. If one was not enough, then ten, a hundred, or a thousand would be fired!
When the light finally faded, there were no living beings left inside, only a dark, murky residue clinging to the ground.
Seeing this, Yunhua couldn't help but marvel. This was the first time she had ever seen a magician reduce a demon to ashes.
However, this situation was also unexpected for Fang Zeyang. He knew very well that with his strength, he was not capable of reducing a commander to nothing.
It might be possible with a higher-level mage, but he's just a high-level mage.
However, Fang Zeyang didn't show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to be very happy. Humanity had also suffered many losses in this battle, so he couldn't let his bad mood spread to others.
Regardless, now is the time to enjoy the joy of victory, and even if he has a hundred worries, he cannot show them at this time.
There are no more Warlord-level Azure Flame Birds left on the field. Most of them have been killed, and a few have slunk away, probably too scared to come back.
So the previously timid mage suddenly found his courage and began chasing after the remaining Azure Flame Birds, intending to give them a good beating.
In any case, the battle against the Azure Flame Bird can be considered a victory.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down! Send out two teams to patrol and prevent the Azure Flame Bird from returning. The smell of blood is too strong and might attract other demons!" Wei Xiang, the big black-bearded man, shouted loudly. Although he had just gone through a battle, he was still unharmed.
Fang Zeyang then went back to rest, clutching his injured arm, leaving Wei Xiang to receive the support team. What followed was nothing more than a mutual greeting, but at this point, they would just exchange a few words and that would be it.
Watching Wei Xiang and the old mage from the Magic Association chatting fluently, Yun Hua was surprised to find that the person she had met before actually held a very high position.
After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone went to the mine to rest. There were still vacancies in the mine's employee dormitories, enough to accommodate them for the night.
Yunhua and Xu Zhaoting shared a dormitory with two other men, while Zhang Lulu shared a dormitory with the other girls.
While Yunhua was chatting with her roommates, Aya had already returned without anyone noticing. She stood at the door of Yunhua's dormitory and beckoned Yunhua out with her finger.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
Aya took out her phone, pointed to a picture of a person on it, and said, "Look at this guy."
Yunhua glanced at the photo on Aya's phone and realized that she was talking about the lightning mage in the team who had a mid-level level three cultivation. The level three thunderbolt he released before the battle was still fresh in her mind.
"What's wrong?" Yunhua asked softly.
"During the battle just now, I noticed that he had the mark of the Assassin's Hall on his body. Only members of the Assassin's Hall can detect this mark. I suspect that he may be related to the assassin who disappeared before. Try to find out about this guy later."
"Senior, weren't you uninterested in what your colleagues were doing?"
"But now that we've run into them, we should definitely get to the bottom of this. Besides, the sudden raid on the magic stone mine by those Azure Flame Birds happened not long ago, so there might be some connection between the two. I don't have many female mages on my side, so I won't be able to find out anything. You give it a try here, and let me know as soon as you have any news."
Yunhua nodded and agreed to Aya's suggestion. After returning to the dormitory, she casually mentioned the lightning mage.
Among the people in the dormitory, there happened to be someone who knew him. It was said that this lightning mage was named Xu Chao, and was the leader of a relatively famous hunting group in the area. However, not long ago, the hunting group encountered an accident in the wild, and most of the members were killed or injured, leaving only the leader and some minor enemies.
It is said that the regimental commander's injuries have not fully recovered, and he came to provide support despite his injuries. When he said this, his roommate had an admiring look on his face.
Yunhua felt that Xu Chao was very problematic. He came to reinforce while injured. Are the hunters really that morally upright these days?
Yunhua forwarded the message she heard to Aya, who replied "received" and then there was no further communication.
Many mages were on edge during the battle with the Azure Flame Bird, but now that they've relaxed, they've quickly fallen asleep.
The night passed just like that, but when they woke up in the morning, no one got up late.
After regaining consciousness, the mage removed the protective barrier. The magic stones they originally used had long been used up, and now they were using magic stone ore directly as an energy source. However, using raw magic stone ore as an energy source would cause too much damage to the formation. The energy was too mottled and redundant, which could easily clog the formation, so it was not advisable to keep it running for a long time.
We had no choice but to activate the formation at night. We were on high alert beforehand, and then we had a fierce battle during the day. Everyone was exhausted, and no one could sleep peacefully without it.
Before noon, Master Wei announced that there was something to announce.
Yunhua's spirits lifted. Could it be that the mission was complete and he could go back?
Many people thought so. They had brought thirty mid-level mages, but they had already lost several in yesterday's battle, leaving only two-thirds of them. This loss was considerable.
Moreover, the Azure Flame Bird suffered heavy losses yesterday, so it seems unlikely that it will attack again for the time being.
Yunhua and his group arrived at a large conference room and found that quite a few people had already arrived. The room was filled with mid-level mages, and the adjutants standing next to Fang Zeyang were among the best of the mid-level mages.
"I've summoned you here because there's something I need to tell you. Although the Azure Flame Bird has been temporarily repelled, it might come back at any time."
"Therefore, I have decided to send a team to the Anfeng Mountain area to see what has happened at the Azure Flame Bird's lair. As for the personnel, let's have a team of Guardian Mages and Hunter Mages. Of course, I will not stop anyone who wants to go, I just hope they can cooperate with the operation."
The first to respond to Fang Zeyang was the lightning mage named Xu Chao, followed closely by Aya, and Yun Hua naturally couldn't lag behind.
Finally, a team of nine people went to Anfeng Mountain to find out the home of the Azure Flame Bird!
The team was led by a senior hunter from the Hunter's Alliance. According to his own introduction, in terms of experience alone, he was not far from being a Hunter Master.
Whether there was any exaggeration involved is unknown, but since he was chosen as the team leader, he must have some ability.
Accompanying them was Wei Xiang, the big black-bearded man they had met in the conference room, and an old mage from the Magic Association. Although he was a bit old and his magical strength might have declined, he was very knowledgeable and his life experience was far beyond what these young people could match.
Add in some other supporting characters, and that's the team's composition.
