Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 80: Thunder Blade Beheading
The next morning, at seven fifty.

At the west gate of Hunter Town, a team of eight people was standing at the door. Judging from their expressions, they seemed a little impatient.

"Dongzi, could that kid have overslept?"

One of the people in the team asked the young man, the one called Dongzi was the young man who had discussed with Li Yu yesterday.

Hearing this, Dongzi was also a little anxious, and prayed in his heart that this novice had some basic sense of time as a hunter. After all, they were about to set off in ten minutes, and time waited for no one. If the trip was delayed, any mistakes might cause the team to get into trouble.

However, Dongzi still said:
"Boss, isn't the time coming yet? Let's wait a little longer. After all, it's not easy for the brothers to come out here, and it's good to get 800,000 for free."

The Tiger Fang team's strength is not outstanding, and their mission completion rate is not impressive. Naturally, their income each time is not that high. Each time they are in the wild for ten days or half a month, their income is only two million at most. If they divide it among eight people, the average is only about 200,000.

This time, I finally met a young man with a lot of money who was willing to pay 800,000 to "join the group", which is equivalent to 100,000 for free for each person. Even if it's just for the money, I have to wait for a while.

At 7:55, Dongzi's eyes lit up and he rushed out. Under the gaze of his teammates, he grabbed a young man about his age. At this time, the latter's eyes had a bit of the clarity of a rookie.

"Brother, why did you arrive just now?"

Dongzi was thankful, for this was his first business deal. As a new member of the Tiger Fang team, he was not very strong but he was eager to contribute to the team. He had been waiting at the entrance of the town for several days. His abnormally enthusiastic attitude had scared away more than a dozen hidden customers. Finally, yesterday, the day before the team was to set off, he caught Li Yu, the sucker.

Originally, the team's bottom line was to charge about 400,000, but he doubled the price and made a big show of himself in front of his teammates.

As a result, his happiness did not last long. The next day, the client was almost late. He was sure that the captain and other teammates must have had the idea of ​​not completing the mission.

If you can't even follow the basic principle of punctuality, who knows what unexpected things might happen along the way.

Fortunately, the customer arrived in time after all.

Li Yu was also stunned by Dongzi's slightly aggrieved question.
"It shouldn't be eight o'clock yet, right?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Dongzi was too lazy to explain and directly dragged Li Yu towards his teammates.

"Captain, this is Yu Chen, our client this time."

The captain of the Tiger Fang team looked very dignified, like a steady and reliable person. He said in a serious tone:

"This time we are only responsible for taking you to find the activity range of the Iron-toothed Tiger tribe. At most, we will let you see the Iron-toothed Tiger with your own eyes, and then we will go our separate ways. Is that ok?"

"no problem."

"Then let's set off immediately."

……

Two days later, in the deep forest more than 50 kilometers away from the hunter town, the deafening tiger roar startled a large number of flying birds. An iron-toothed tiger that went out for a walk after eating was leisurely patrolling its territory. A few hundred meters away, pairs of eyes were staring at this seven or eight meter tall tiger monster.

"Boy, we have brought you to the Iron-toothed Tiger as agreed. Please sign this mission letter."

Lao Wen, the captain of the Tiger Fang Squad, lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the big cat.

The purpose was achieved, and Li Yu didn't say much. After simply thanking him, he signed directly at the client's signature area.

"Good luck."

Old Wen patted Li Yu's arm encouragingly and left with the other teammates.

Looking at the direction where the few people left, Li Yu's originally smiling face suddenly turned cloudy. He glanced at the place where the photo was taken, and a faint, almost imperceptible smell was slowly emanating from it.

Li Yu felt that this smell was familiar yet unfamiliar. Thanks to his senior Ding Yumian's irregular spot checks and assessments, he had a basic understanding of the Iron-toothed Tiger Clan, a dominant tribe in the outer Qinling Mountains. This included the plant monster that could most arouse the Iron-toothed Tiger's desires - the Nepeta pseudo-monster.

The Nepeta pseudo-demon is a special demon that also lives in Qinling Mountains. The Nepeta demon flower blooming on it will release a special pungent fragrance that can make many tiger demons feel happy. What makes Li Yu unhappy is that Lao Wen, the captain of the Tiger Fang team, happened to leave this smell on his hands.

If it weren't for his physical fitness comparable to that of a general, an ordinary mid-level or even a newly promoted high-level wizard would not be able to detect him.

"Are you planning to use the Iron-toothed Tiger Clan to get rid of me because I am stupid and rich?"

Li Yu didn't quite agree. If he appeared as the student "Li Yu" in the academy, he at least had a set of concentration suits that were noticed by very few people who knew the value of things, then he appeared as "Yu Chen" and had nothing on him. There was nothing valuable on his body. He couldn't forcibly crack the password of his bank card, right?

But apart from wanting to save his own life, Li Yu really couldn't imagine why Captain Wen would do this.

Li Yu didn't think about it for too long, nor did he deal with the smell on his arm. It would be better to say that Lao Wen's behavior was a bad intention with a good end, which just helped him attract the nearby iron-toothed tiger and steel-toothed demon tiger.

"Woo~"

Under Li Yu's intentional control, wisps of breeze condensed into thin threads, carrying the fragrance of his arms and spreading in all directions.

After simply completing this small task, Li Yu took the initiative to move towards the Iron-toothed Tiger in his field of vision. A light breeze enveloped his entire body, and no breath or sound reached the Iron-toothed Tiger's ears.

The iron-toothed tiger, as lazy as a big cat, stretched out its body lazily, without noticing anything unusual in its blind spot.

Two hundred meters…one hundred and fifty meters…one hundred meters…fifty meters!

"Wind, mist, wind tracks, floating shadows!"

The green light dragged the ten-meter-long purple sword, drawing a semicircle in the air, and then jumped down from a high place. The green wind wrapped around his body and he suddenly accelerated.
"cut!"

The purple blade easily cut off the Iron-toothed Tiger's head. The jumping lightning arc burned the wound into dense charred marks. There was an indelible shock in the Iron-toothed Tiger's eyes, and it didn't understand how it had lost its life.

"Whoo~"

Li Yu dispersed his lightning sword, revealing his arm wrapped in thunder. He rolled up his sleeves and took a look, then heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a little red.

In order to ensure the smallest possible noise, Li Yu did not choose the grand justice from heaven, but directly mobilized the lightning element to condense it into a knife and beheaded the man with one blow.

In the past, Li Yu would wrap the lightning element on a special blade to resolve the battle as quickly as possible when it was inconvenient to use magic.

But today is different. The Iron-toothed Tiger's body has swelled a little, and ordinary weapons cannot meet the needs of beheading it. Li Yu can only directly condense the lightning element blade. The price he pays is that his arm bears tremendous pressure in a short period of time, and it is flushed red.

“We still need to continue to strengthen our control.”

Li Yu reflected on it afterwards and thought that if he could make the lightning element cover his body surface without exerting any pressure on his body, his dream of wearing lightning armor and delivering close combat damage would be just around the corner!

However, these are all later stories. Li Yu needs to focus on the present. Looking at the iron-toothed tiger with its head and body separated, a malicious smile appeared on Li Yu's face.

Killing this iron-toothed tiger is the first step of the plan.

The next step is to take out the test tube containing the transparent liquid, unscrew the lid, and the liquid flows on the body of the iron-toothed tiger under the action of gravity.

After stopping pouring, Li Yu put the test tube with half liquid left in it back in good condition.

"That's great, let's take a dip."

As he spoke, Li Yu threw his sleeve stained with the scent of the Nepeta demon flower onto the fur that was wet with liquid.

"wind!"

Under Li Yu's control, the wind covered the entire body of the Iron-toothed Tiger with liquid and smell.

Then, he jumped into a tree canopy several dozen meters away.
