Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 99 A Little Shock from Li Yu

"Little brother, do you hunters earn so much?"

Huang Xingli stared at Li Yu with eyes wide open. Ding Yumian also had a shocked expression.

"What kind of mission is this? To kill a little warrior, the blue-eyed jellyfish actually costs one million!"

Not all generals are valuable. Many monsters that are common on the streets are completely useless. At most, they can be made into monster feed and sold for a few hundred thousand at best. This is even when the market processes are repeatedly marked up. The direct purchase price is sometimes only one or two hundred thousand.

The blue-eyed jellyfish, which has nothing to do with anything but water and poison, is also among these monsters.

"Senior, you have to think it through!"

Li Yu held his forehead.

"This blue-eyed jellyfish lives in the ocean far from land, and its range of activities is even more than 100 meters below the sea surface. The difficulty of hunting it is not at the same level as that of land monsters. If the price is not higher, which hunter would be so stupid as to accept such a task!"

"Ah, is that so?"

Huang Xingli smiled awkwardly and said no more. Ding Yumian took over the conversation.
"How about you help us plan it?"

Huang Xingli also nodded in agreement. Although they were both top students from prestigious universities, their knowledge of demons was limited to demon classes and extracurricular books, which left them with a considerable gap from professional hunters.

Li Yu was prepared for this situation. He then pulled up a map of the area surrounding the Magic City and drew a route on the tablet.
"Or we can go this way."

The two girls looked at the map. After a while, Huang Xingli gave up.

"can't read."

There is also a gap between top students and top students. In this regard, Huang Xingli is a little bit lacking.

Ding Yumian saw some clues.
"This route is very close to Anjie."

"That's right." Li Yu nodded.
"The demon tribes around Anjie are quite weak. Most of these demon tribes are losers in the wild competition and were driven to the vicinity of Anjie. They are not strong and are the easiest to hunt."

The demon world has certain similarities with human society. In terms of ethnic distribution, the most powerful ethnic group will occupy the most advantageous core area, and then extend outward in turn.

As for the area near the safety boundary which is often cleared by human mages, it is an absolutely harsh area in the eyes of demons. Not only can they not break through the safety barrier, but they are also occasionally attacked by human mages. Life is very difficult there, which is equivalent to a place of exile for humans.

"Also, I planned this route based on the bounty. There are five or six small tribes led by war generals on the road. Each tribe has at most two war generals, and there are no other powerful demons around."

"Since it is close to the Anjie, the bodies of the hunted war generals and demons can be transported to the Anjie in time for processing and sales, which reduces the burden."

"If everything goes well, we can probably get about 10 million from this trip, including the bounty and the monster corpses. If we don't mind the trouble, we can kill the slave monsters in the tribes as well, and the income can be doubled."

"Ten million!"

“Are there so many?”

The two women who were new to monster hunting were stunned by the sudden high income, and Li Yu also explained.
“If it were an ordinary mid-level magician team, even if they took the same route, it would be difficult to get such a high return.

But we are different. Sister Ding’s psychic system can provide us with accurate intelligence, disrupt the order of the demons, and provide us with opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

The two senior sisters' intermediate fire magic possesses powerful combat effectiveness among the same level, and my fighting style is rather special, which can easily deal with the slave monsters that serve as guards in the tribe. With the strength of the three of us, we can kill the war monsters without any injuries or at a relatively small cost, and evacuate to the wild to rest as quickly as possible.

The whole process will save a lot of unnecessary costs and time. "

Of course, what Li Yu didn't say was that these missions were all issued by the government and were quite lucrative. If Li Yu hadn't been so embarrassed as to use his level as a hunter master to compete with that group of elite hunters for the missions, the three of them would never have gotten them.

"What do you think, senior sisters? These tasks cannot be kept for too long. If you agree, we will set off tomorrow. We will probably have to spend the next month sleeping outdoors. It may be quite tiring, so I hope you will be mentally prepared."

"Xingli, do you want to answer it?" Ding Yumian raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Take it! Why not? It's just a month of being a savage. For these few million, I'll do it!"

…Five days later, in a camp somewhere in the wild.

"Little brother, were you an animal in your previous life?"

Huang Xingli stared at Li Yu with an inquiring look on her face. Ding Yumian didn't say anything, but she didn't maintain the expression on her face.

Whenever the two of them thought of the experience of traveling in the past few days, it gave them two personal experiences. First, what Li Yu said about being very tired was a bit inaccurate. It should be said that they were extremely tired. With the good physiques of the two mid-level mages, their legs were almost broken in the high-intensity travel in the first three days. Ding Yumian was better off, but Huang Xingli, the only rookie among the three, was dying every day. If Li Yu had not prepared a large amount of physical recovery potions in advance and deliberately slowed down his movement speed later, it is hard to say whether the former could speak at this time.

Second, Li Yu's physical fitness was comparable to that of a demon. When the division of labor was first made, it was all good, with everyone doing their own job, but when it came to the actual execution, Li Yu took on all the tasks, including leading the way, scouting, and setting up camp, and he had to help the other two from time to time, sleeping later than a dog and getting up earlier than a chicken, but he was still full of energy.

If it weren't for the two people's strong request, perhaps Li Yu could have taken over the task of eliminating the ignorant little demon.

After spending a few days together, Ding Yumian and the other girl have gradually realized that they might have become a burden that slows down Li Yu's speed of action.

"Oh, it's okay." Li Yu smiled shyly.

"Perhaps it's because he often hunts monsters in the wild, and his natural physique is better than the two senior sisters?"

"I……"

Li Yu was about to continue speaking when the unusual smell in the air made his face change. He shifted his gaze slightly and saw Ding Yumian also turned his gaze to him and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"It's getting late. Tomorrow we will be at our first target location. You two seniors, go and rest first and come back to take over in the second half of the night."

Li Yu said that as usual, on the eve of the event, the two girls went into the tent and turned off the lights, leaving only the light of the campfire flickering in the night.

"call out!"

In the darkness, a slight sound of breaking wind was heard, and a tiny ray of light shone directly behind Li Yu under the cover of night.

The latter struggled in vain for a few times and then lowered its head. Then, a big snake as thick as a bucket came out from the night. On its way, clumps of bushes and weeds were flattened, leaving only winding traces. However, despite its huge size, the snake made no sound when it moved forward, just like the ordinary sound of the wind.

Against the backdrop of the campfire, the already huge snake body became even more hideous and terrifying, its pair of vertical pupils revealed undisguised greed and desire, its bloody mouth emitting a fishy smell opened wide, and in the next moment it was about to swallow the person in front of it into its belly.

"Pfft!"

The snake felt a pain in its head, and saw a ray of green light penetrate its open mouth and pierce through its head. Then it heard the last sound of its dying voice.
"Wind Track."

"call out!"

The sound of breaking wind suppressed the surrounding weeds and bushes, and the green knife light stopped in an instant. The big snake was cut into two pieces vertically in the middle and died with its eyes open.

"An advanced limestone anaconda."

Li Yu turned around and explained to Ding Yumian who was walking out of the tent.
"This kind of monster shouldn't appear here." Ding Yumian, who was familiar with all the monster knowledge around the Magic City, frowned slightly.
The limestone forest anaconda is grayish white in color and mainly lives in dry bare rock areas. It occasionally enters the jungle, but it hates humid environments and does not like to come to areas near rivers such as camping sites.

"This limestone anaconda has wounds that have just healed. It must have been chased by other demons and fled here in a panic."

"Since it was hunted here, where is the enemy that is hunting it?"

A bad answer suddenly popped up in Ding Yumian's mind.

"The body of the Limestone Forest Anaconda is sturdy and tough, and it can spray out poisonous mist and needle-like venom that can cause coma. It has few rivals among monsters of the same level, except for its natural enemies..."

"Earth Falcon!"

Fighting demons is also their target for tomorrow.

"唳~"

As if to verify Ding Yumian's speculation, a loud eagle cry resounded through the night sky.
