Chapter 115 The Lonely
"Damn it!" Yun Hua cursed under his breath. He wasn't afraid of dealing with general-level demons, and he wasn't afraid of fighting them one-on-one, but who could stand up to such a large group?
The demon bulls let out a silent howl; although their bodies were rotting and they no longer had vocal cords, a strange sound still reached our ears.
Although they had no leader, they were very disciplined and charged towards the crowd in unison. As the demon bulls ran, their heavy footsteps pounded the ground, making a rumbling sound as if the earth were shaking.
Fortunately, although the demon bulls were very fast, Aya spotted them in advance and was able to prepare to avoid the attack.
The wind mage in the group immediately cast Wind Trace to increase everyone's speed. However, Yunhua and the others were in a forest with many trees, and they could easily bump into one if they weren't careful.
At this point, Yunhua no longer cared about hiding anything and jumped out to act as the vanguard.
"Everyone follow me!" Yunhua shouted.
Then everyone noticed a green smoke emanating from Yunhua's body, which rapidly expanded to the size of a train car, forming a cone shape in front of Yunhua.
Looking at the crimson energy surrounding him, the old master felt puzzled. He recognized that Yunhua was releasing poisonous mist, but what could he possibly do with this poisonous mist?
Out of curiosity, the old mage made a bold move: he directly touched the poisonous fog with his hand. If the fog contained corrosive toxins, he would lose his hand.
To the old master's surprise, his hand was not injured, and it felt as if he had touched a solid wall.
In fact, Yunhua used his mind to create a large protective shield around them. The poisonous mist on it was just to make the people in the team notice it, otherwise it would be bad if they ran into the shield while running!
Then Yunhua used a single sentence to bring everyone's attention back.
"Ready? Then I'm going to lead the way!"
Yunhua pushed off with both feet, running away from the Dead Soul Demon Bull, while the train formed by the green poisonous mist moved forward with Yunhua.
The wind mage in the group immediately released a wind spell, allowing everyone to keep up with Yunhua's speed with its blessing.
Yunhua, as the driver, drove the train through the forest, smashing all the trees along the way to ensure that it would not affect the people behind.
And so Yunhua led his group through the woods at breakneck speed, as if they were racing on flat ground.
They quickly led the team to a safe place. Before the others could thank Yunhua, they discovered that two people were missing from the team.
One was Xu Chao, a lightning mage, and the other was Aya. In fact, Yunhua had already discovered this while they were moving. Xu Chao had deliberately left on his own, while Aya had followed Xu Chao away.
In fact, with Yunhua's mind control, their attempt to leave would have alerted others. However, Aya made a gesture to Yunhua, instructing him to secretly release Xu Chao. Aya then used Shadow Step to quietly follow behind Xu Chao.
Of course, Yunhua wouldn't say any of this, and the others just thought they were unlucky. No one suggested looking for them, since this place was so dangerous and they might lose their lives.
Yunhua raised a flame, bringing warmth and light to the team.
Lighting a fire in a dark forest is actually very dangerous, as it can easily attract other demons. However, humans are better suited to fighting in the light, and they are no match for these demons who have long adapted to the darkness. Therefore, it is better to keep the light shining.
The group hadn't walked for long when they encountered a lone Dead Soul Bull, much to the delight of the others.
They can't beat a herd of cows, but one cow is a piece of cake, isn't it?
So, to prevent the demonic bull from calling for its companions, and also to vent their anger over their earlier humiliating escape, everyone spared no effort in casting spells.
However, despite releasing so much magic, no results were achieved.
The black mist in the forest not only weakened the power of magic, but also restricted the manipulation of other magical elements. In this dark substance that shrouded the entire forest, the use of all other magic became even more difficult.
The occasional, inexplicable noises would also disrupt the mage's star link connection, causing magic energy to be consumed more quickly.
On the other hand, the Dead Soul Bull was like a tiger with wings in this environment! In addition, the Dead Soul Bull was also intelligent. Seeing so many spells being used at once, it hid in the black mist in the forest and used the black mist to cover its tracks.
The result was that despite all the magic attacks, the Dead Soul Bull remained unharmed, which made some people lose face and decide to try again.
Yunhua quickly stopped them, saying, "How can you waste magical energy in this place?"
Then Yunhua asked several fire-elemental mages to join him in fighting the dark demons, since fire was the most effective element besides light.
Moreover, because Yunhua obtained fire magic in a different way than ordinary people, his fire magic was not weakened, but instead inexplicably strengthened.
Yunhua's idea was simple: since he couldn't determine the location of the Dead Soul Demon Bull, he might as well give up looking for it.
"Fierce Fist - Earthly Fiend!"
"boom!!!"
Like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, surging flames erupted from the ground, illuminating Yunhua's profile and the surrounding area.
Beneath the raging flames, the ashes illuminate all things!
With everyone's combined efforts, the raging, scorching flames burned away the black mist completely, and could no longer obstruct the group's view.
The Dead Soul Bulls were caught off guard and injured by mid-level magic. Although their defense was outstanding, it was not enough to withstand so much magic.
The cow lay limp on the ground, grinning wickedly at the people who gathered around.
With a scream, the Dead Soul Demon Bull, just as its name suggests, died with only its soul remaining.
That's right! This Dead Soul Demon Bull actually dropped a spirit! The old mage collected it, because he wasn't sure who ultimately killed the Dead Soul Demon Bull, so he decided to divide it equally when they got back.
Yunhua didn't really care about how the essence was distributed; what he cared about was something else entirely. When he gathered demonic energy earlier, a strange energy from the outside enhanced the power of the flames.
Moreover, he sensed something calling to him, but he wasn't sure if it was directed at him or all fire mages; he couldn't tell from other people's faces.
As the black fog dissipated, the hazy sunlight could now be seen. After calculating the time, it was exactly midday, when the sun was at its strongest.
"So where should we go next?" Yunhua asked.
