WTYTIAAN Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Yan Yunqing watched for a while, confirming that Evelyn wouldn’t use large-scale Light magic. He wasn’t sure if she couldn’t, or if she was hiding her abilities, but continuing would definitely be detrimental to them.

Yan Yunqing didn’t care about the casualties of the Scarlet Smoke Squad, but they still had a mission to complete here, and the players couldn’t all be lost.

He saw a desert lizard pouncing towards the archer in the Scarlet Smoke Squad. The lizard was nearly two meters long, its body covered in rough, foul-smelling black scales. The dense, sharp teeth dripped with a putrid, unidentifiable liquid. The claws flashed with a cold light, and it was easy to imagine the consequences if this strike landed on a person.

It might even split them in half at the waist.

“Ella!” Flora turned her head and saw this terrifying scene, shouting a warning. But as a heavy sword user, she couldn’t possibly rush over to rescue her at this critical moment.

Seemingly able to foresee her companion’s fate, Flora’s heart trembled, and she was almost scratched by a desert lizard attacking from the right. She quickly raised her heavy sword to block, while the lizard pouncing on Ella had already swung its claws.

Ella, alerted by Flora’s warning, sensed the danger behind her and instantly dodged. If it had been two seconds earlier, the agile but low-defense ranger would have been able to avoid this strike. But it was too late—

“Scratch—”

A harsh, grating sound rang out. Because of the speed, sparks even flew between the claws and the heavy sword.

Ella was stunned, but a figure stood in front of her.

It was that strong person whose level Evelyn had certified as very high.

At this moment, the swordsman, who had been inconspicuous and low-key, wielded his sword to block this near-fatal blow. Then, he slashed out with a sword. The seemingly simple sword cut the demon’s body in half. The black scales, so hard in the eyes of others, couldn’t withstand his attack.

With just this one sword, the lizard was only connected by a layer of skin, and blood splattered everywhere.

When did this happen?

A question popped up in Ella’s mind.

This person was clearly just next to Arthur, how did he instantly appear in front of her? Was this speed even possible?

Admittedly, everyone had different talents, and different levels resulted in different abilities. Perhaps someone could really achieve this speed, but it couldn’t possibly happen to a heavy sword user, right?

Even if his level was high—

However, the scene before her didn’t allow Ella to think for more than a few seconds. One attack failing, and even being countered, caused the entire group of desert lizards to riot.

This level of demon was recognized as terrifying. Power was one thing, but merely being strong wouldn’t make most strong people feel fear. It was also because this level of demon had a certain level of intelligence.

They possessed simple thinking abilities like intelligent species, able to detect the weaknesses in a team and target them for assassination. Especially desert lizards, which were social demons, were even more terrifying. They could overcome the instinct to kill and devour each other in demon blood, and instead cooperate to hunt.

If one encountered a high-level social demon in the wild, there was basically no chance of survival.

Now that a companion had died, the instinct to devour made these desert lizards, which were already eyeing their prey, even more violent, and their attacks became even more ruthless.

“Thank…” Ella’s thanks hadn’t left her mouth when the hooded man turned his head and glanced at her. The remaining words all got stuck in her throat, neither able to spit them out nor swallow them.

They were extremely beautiful, dark red eyes like rubies. But at this moment, those red eyes seemed to be dyed with the color of blood, dark and dangerous. They seemed to devour her soul, yet inexplicably made her feel like surrendering.

A danger alarm rang in Ella’s heart, and she couldn’t help but take a step back. In her heart at this moment, the black-haired, red-eyed man in front of her was a hundred times more dangerous than the demons present.

Who exactly was this person…?

Yan Yunqing glanced lightly at the archer. He didn’t know what was going on with this person. She suddenly froze in place. How could she be distracted in such a dangerous situation? Was this really a battle-hardened mercenary squad?

As soon as this thought popped up, he suddenly remembered something. He glanced at the [Demon King Descent] that was activated on his panel and fell into a brief silence.

What exactly were the effects of this skill?

Oh, it seemed to have a deterrent effect… Damn, was this person intimidated by his skill?

Yan Yunqing paused and kindly moved his gaze away, refocusing on the group of desert lizards. He didn’t activate [Demon King Descent] to scare people randomly or to show off, but when he was hunting demons everywhere these days to do missions, Yan Yunqing discovered that his talent skill had additional uses.

——Intimidating demons.

He didn’t know if it was because they both had the word “demon” in them, but when he activated [Demon King Descent] to fight, there was a certain chance to produce a [Deterrent] effect on the demons, reducing their attack speed and movement speed, and even a certain chance to make the demons stiffen for a few seconds.

For Yan Yunqing, this was equivalent to a support that constantly applied debuffs to the monsters, and it was very much to his liking. As a result, he was now habitually fighting with his talent skill active.

He almost forgot that his talent skill wasn’t only useful against demons, it was also useful against people.

It even had a greater impact than on demons.

Yan Yunqing subconsciously touched his nose, not showing any guilty expression, but instead met the gaze of the strongest desert lizard, the one that was clearly the leader of the group.

He casually said to the ranger he had saved behind him, “Hide well.” Lest she be affected by his skill and send herself into the demon’s mouth.

After speaking, Yan Yunqing decisively raised his heavy sword and charged forward towards the lizard leader.

The lizard leader was level 68, a considerable challenge for the players and mercenary squad present, but for Yan Yunqing, it was simply a small toy.

After all, he was now level 95, and a Diamond Hunter who had been through countless battles and killed demons faster than chickens.

Even though there was a distance of ten meters between them, in Ella’s eyes, it seemed that the mysterious man had crossed it in two steps. Before the lizard could even react, he raised his heavy sword and slashed at it. The speed was as fast as lightning—

But that was a heavy swordsman!

The blade of the heavy sword in Yan Yunqing’s hand was wide and thick, faintly flashing with a scarlet glow in the dim light. This was the weapon in his backpack with the lowest level requirement. The crafting material was dragon bone, so it carried the pressure of a dragon. Even a simple slash carried enough deterrent power.

Yes, this was the first weapon that Divick had made for his dear Demon King His Majesty by drawing out his bones.

Well, because it was the first time he had made it, and he was not very skilled, the level of this weapon was not very high, only level ninety-three. Even if it was upgraded through secondary refinement, it could only increase by about ten levels. Therefore, Divick quickly drew out his bones and made a second weapon.

This weapon was left idle.

Yan Yunqing didn’t expect that he hadn’t cleared this weapon out of his backpack, but left it in his backpack, together with a bag of good things, and crossed into this world with him.

Uh, should it be considered returning to this world?

In short, this heavy sword was the only weapon in his backpack that his current level could use. For him now, it was considered a divine weapon, so he took it out as a weapon.

If Divick knew about it, he would definitely be so moved that he would immediately draw out his bones again to forge a brand-new weapon for his beloved Demon King His Majesty.

Yan Yunqing spun around, his arm swung the heavy sword and slashed out. Seeing this, the desert lizard waved its thick, tree trunk-like arm. The black scales on the arm strangely connected together, instantly piecing together a shield-like scale armor, attempting to use this strange scale armor shield to block his attack.

The heavy sword heavily slashed on the scale armor shield, making a muffled bang, sparks flying everywhere. The huge impact force caused the desert lizard to retreat a few steps, and the scale armor shield on its arm instantly shattered, and broken black scales splashed open, accompanied by smoke scattered everywhere.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the black scale fragments falling at his feet in surprise. The scale armor shield of this level 68 demon could actually withstand one of his level 95 attacks? What’s more, the heavy sword in his hand was made of dragon bone, and dragon bone naturally had a suppressive effect on creatures with bloodlines inferior to them, which could also play a partial role on demons.

In his opinion, even if this demon was the leader of the desert lizards, it should have been instantly cut in half by him like the demon he had almost cut in half just now.

He just didn’t expect the defense of this desert lizard to be so outstanding.

Yan Yunqing was a little more cautious. He had never been an arrogant person. After coming to this world, he had been walking carefully every step of the way, and he would not relax his vigilance when dealing with pure hostile units like demons, otherwise he would have capsized long ago.

However, the lizard seemed to be startled by his attack, and also realized from it that his strength was the strongest of all the prey present. It did not rush up to attack in rage because the scale armor shield was broken, but hissed.

The harsh, hoarse cry sounded, and the desert lizards, which were still attacking the players and the Scarlet Smoke Squad, stopped together, and all their attention was focused on Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue. The next moment, the large number of desert lizards abandoned their original prey and rushed towards him, vaguely protecting the leader behind them.

It seems that this leader has the ability to control ordinary desert lizards to a certain extent.

“[Fire of Loneliness],” who had been occasionally attacked by demons to half health, suddenly found that all the demons besieging him had withdrawn and were attacking in another direction. He looked in that direction, not knowing why, and found that the one surrounded by demons was actually their Boss. He hurriedly wanted to wave his magic wand to help this Boss lighten the burden a little.

However, before he could try to squeeze out the last bit of his blue bar, the Boss held the heavy sword in both hands, spun around and turned towards the surroundings. The blood-red sword energy brushed out along his sword, and all the demons that pounced on him were stunned, and the next moment they fell to the ground, exploding a burst of black and red blood mist.

[Fire of Loneliness]: ???

[Fire of Loneliness] was stunned, speechless, and petrified…

“Damn?” The voice of [Fire of Loneliness] changed a bit. They were fighting hard here, but the number of demons they killed could be counted on one hand, and the Big guy was a pervert once he made a move. With such a simple attack, four-fifths of the demons were knocked down?

“Simon 〇 Snow?!”

Yan Yunqing almost staggered when he heard it. Does your family’s Simon 〇 Snow use a heavy sword?

However, no one knew the slander in Yan Yunqing’s heart.

If he had said it earlier! If he had said that you were so awesome, what were they doing here diligently killing monsters?!

Almost in an instant, a white light lit up on the entire player squad that Yan Yunqing had teamed up with. So much monster killing experience made them jump several levels at the same time.

Because it was not the last blow, they couldn’t get the majority of the killing experience, but because of the same team, they all got the collaborative killing experience reward. If it was a single calculation, it would naturally not be much, but they couldn’t stand the Big guy killing so many dozens of monsters in one breath!

This is not, the collaborative killing experience of these monsters is so much that all of them followed and rose several levels!

In an instant, the way [Yingyi] and the others looked at Yan Yunqing was a little wrong.

[Binfeng Storm] repeatedly checked his friend list, and confirmed that the other party’s level was similar to their level, and the whole person was a little demented.

The Big guy’s level seems to be not at the same level as our level, eh?

Why is it that they are so difficult to fight these monsters at the same level, and when they get to the Big guy’s hands, they are like small shrimps?

Is this logical?

[Binfeng Storm] issued a soul question.

[Demon Prison Cruiser] was still in a dejected state, and his expression was a little better because he finally didn’t have to fight monsters, but he didn’t show much surprise at the strength Yan Yunqing showed.

[Yingyi] and [Wangwang Squad] were also the same, and [Rian]’s identity was no longer a secret on their side, and the guess about his strength was even more so.

They had long thought that he might be strong, but they just didn’t expect it to be so strong.

The people belonging to the Scarlet Smoke Squad were even more shocked by Yan Yunqing’s move. Flora, who had previously seen Yan Yunqing save Ella, was prepared, and was also slightly widened her eyes by this attack. She subconsciously frowned and looked at the direction of Yan Yunqing, with a few thoughts flashing in her eyes.

Only the white priestess Evelyn lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions in her eyes. She still looked like a pure white lamb, showing her snow-white and fragile neck, like all the priests who came out of the Light Church, sacred and beautiful.

Yali, who was paying attention to Evelyn next to her, subconsciously raised the double knives in her hand and protected the fragile priest behind her.

Yan Yunqing Kill to death the small monsters that rushed up with one blow, raised his eyes and looked at the remaining desert lizards and the leader.

His move not only shocked his teammates, but also shocked the desert lizard leader. In an instant, most of the younger brothers died, and the desire to devour the same kind to become stronger was screaming in the body, and similarly, fear followed.

The desert lizard, which already had a simple thinking ability, could naturally understand that a prey that could kill dozens of the same kind with a simple blow could no longer be regarded as prey, but a powerful and terrifying natural enemy.

Would die.

The greedy nature made the desert lizard leader unwilling to leave, but the fear buried in the body urged it to leave quickly. In the end, it chose to leave.

However, the hesitation for these short few seconds was already too late. Yan Yunqing used inertia to throw the heavy sword out fiercely. At the moment when the desert lizard leader turned around and wanted to escape, the heavy sword had already broken through its defense, split its head, and plunged fiercely into the stone wall, leaving only two-thirds of the sword body still trembling slightly.

With a swish, blood mist filled the air.

The remaining few desert lizards lost their leader and stood blankly in place, not knowing whether to continue attacking or escape. The instinct belonging to the demons made them choose to bury their heads and gnaw at the bodies of their companions, in order to obtain stronger power and transformation.

“Why are you still stunned?” Yan Yunqing walked over slowly and pulled out the heavy sword embedded in the stone wall. “You can’t even solve the remaining few, right?”

The experience of these monsters was a drop in the bucket for him, and Yan Yunqing was too lazy to kill them one by one. The main reason was that it would lower his compulsion, so he simply let [Yingyi] and the others kill them.

[Yingyi] and the others seemed to wake up from a dream, and divided the labor to jointly kill the remaining few desert lizards. This time, the experience was much higher than the collaborative killing experience of the team, but it was still not as much as the sum of the collaborative killing experience of the dozens of monsters in one breath just now.

Yan Yunqing walked back with the heavy sword stained with blood, and walked to [Fire of Loneliness], raised the heavy sword and placed it in front of the other party.

[Fire of Loneliness] was stunned for a moment, moved his gaze down, and suddenly realized when he saw the dirty blood stains on the heavy sword. He immediately condensed a small water polo with magic, and very dog-leggedly cleaned up the traces of blood on the heavy sword for the Boss.

He also wanted to knead Yan Yunqing’s shoulders like a clown, worthy of being the atmosphere of the entire [Yingyi] team.

Yan Yunqing looked at the brand-new heavy sword after the flushing, and re-carried the heavy sword with satisfaction.

Players can only choose one of swordsman and magician to change jobs. So far, Yan Yunqing has not seen anyone who can cultivate both magic and martial arts. After all, he is still wearing a player’s vest, and Yan Yunqing did not intend to expose that he can still use magic in front of [Yingyi] and the others.

The remaining desert lizards were all solved, and the corpses left in place disappeared into light spots ten minutes after leaving the battle, leaving only a mess of ruins.

The moon didn’t know when it poked its head out of the thick clouds, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down, covering everyone with a layer of silvery white gauze, a piece of peace and harmony. If this piece of mess was still there, explaining the degree of danger of the battle just now, everyone would have thought that the scene just now was an illusion.

After a brief silence, Flora, the captain of the Scarlet Smoke Squad, stepped forward and tapped the heart area with one hand, which is a ritual between knights, which can express respect or gratitude. “Thank you very much for saving Ella before. If there is anything we can do for the Scarlet Smoke Squad, please feel free to ask, we, Scarlet Smoke, will definitely try our best to complete it.”

Yan Yunqing was not surprised by her show of goodwill at the moment, but he didn’t need the Scarlet Smoke Squad for anything. He was interested in the so-called Source Stone of Life, but obviously…

Yan Yunqing glanced imperceptibly at the white girl Evelyn, who was at the back of the Scarlet Smoke Squad. This person came from the Light Church and was suspected of being the mastermind behind the Scarlet Smoke Squad’s search for the Source Stone of Life. She would not easily let Flora tell him the information about the Source Stone of Life.

Then there is nothing else to say.

Yan Yunqing waved his hand casually, “It’s okay, it’s just a small matter.”

Ah, so pretentious.

Yan Yunqing thought, he really has the demeanor of a super master.

Hey, don’t tell me, he also changed into a white dress, he can really cosplay Simon 〇 Snow.

The Simon 〇 Snow who uses a heavy sword is so unique.

Flora had long guessed that Yan Yunqing would say this. With the other party’s power, there would obviously be nothing that would require their Scarlet Smoke Squad. At this moment, she thought of what Evelyn said, that the level of this powerhouse was very likely to reach level 90 or above, and she couldn’t help but move in her heart.

With such a high level, and accepting escort missions like Arthur’s, could it be that…

Flora was thoughtful, but Yan Yunqing showed an obvious posture of not wanting to continue communicating, and she didn’t force it, but nodded to the man in their team who was obviously the captain, preparing to return to her own team.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the mini-map and stopped Flora, who had already left, “Your mission, may be known by others?”

Flora paused and looked at Yan Yunqing fiercely, while Yan Yunqing had returned to the camp again, leaning against a tree to rest with his eyes closed, the fire shone on his face dimly.

Hearing this, Ella, who had been rescued by Yan Yunqing in the squad, walked to Flora’s side and lowered her voice, “Captain?”

Flora frowned and looked around with a solemn expression, scanning the dark ruins, and her expression gradually sank.

*

Over there, Yan Yunqing, who had returned to the camp, was pestered by [Fire of Loneliness] again.

[Fire of Loneliness]: “Hey,Big guy, awesome, little brother worships you!”

He made a bow and cupped his hands, very funny.

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but move a little, and always felt that his IQ seemed to be lowered when he was stained with this thing.

As a result, Arthur also came over from the other side, looked at Yan Yunqing, and was a little curious, “You are so strong, I think your swordsmanship is a bit like that of our neighboring academy, are you also from the Sigritte Academy? Are you a senior?”

Yan Yunqing paused and looked at Arthur in surprise. He didn’t expect Arthur to be able to see it.

Yan Yunqing, as a good citizen of Blue Star, naturally didn’t understand any swordsmanship when he traveled over. All swordsman skills were used by fighting instinct. It was not until he entered Sigritte Academy that he systematically learned the swordsman’s swordsmanship from the Swordsman Academy, and after countless battles, he formed his current fighting style.

It can be said that his every move was derived from the swordsmanship taught by the Swordsman Academy, and naturally carries the style of the Sigritte Swordsman Academy.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that Arthur, a Magic Academy student, would be able to recognize the style of the Swordsman Academy at a glance.

Didn’t everyone say that the magicians of the Magic Academy look down on the swordsmen of the Swordsman Academy? How can this guy recognize it at a glance?

Seemingly because of Yan Yunqing’s silence, Arthur understood something and explained: “During the previous academy’s outing training, I had several swordsman friends who had a good relationship.”

Oh, I remembered that Sigritte Academy has outing training activities every academic year, and occasionally the two academies jointly train, and you need to team up to complete it.

His last outing training was joint training.

Yan Yunqing thought for a while, “I used to audit in the Sigritte Swordsman Academy for a while, but I’m not a student of the Swordsman Academy.”

This is completely the truth, because he is a student of the Magic Academy.

It’s still the case now, but he is now on a long vacation, and the principal approved it.

Arthur suddenly realized, “No wonder.”

No wonder what?

Yan Yunqing looked at Arthur, Arthur looked back at Yan Yunqing, two large water-blue eyes could be seen to the bottom, like clear and stupid college students.

Yan Yunqing: ……

Forget it.

Yan Yunqing didn’t intend to continue Confused this matter, the camp was quiet again. After the sudden fierce battle just now, everyone could not sleep peacefully.

Of course, players don’t need sleep, and Arthur now looks energetic and can still climb up and play three hundred rounds.

Don’t say, in the battle against the desert lizards just now, this seemingly delicate magician not only didn’t hold back, but also killed two desert lizards himself, although he killed them with long-range sneak attacks, but this also shows Arthur’s ability.

After all, he is a genius who was admitted to Sigritte Academy.

[Yingyi] suddenly looked in one direction, and after withdrawing his gaze, [Wangwang Squad] smiled and said, “It seems that the goal of those guys who have been following us all day today is not us.”
