Mortal Mage

"Forget it, let's go down and take a look first."

"If you encounter trouble, run away and walk in front. If Junior Brother Zhang dies, you will report to Master Qinglan yourself."

The three of them landed on the ground with their swords.

Yu Shitao frowned, a hint of anger leaked out of his eyes, he turned around and clasped his fists towards the two of them, pleading, "Junior Brother Zhang insisted on going his own way, it has nothing to do with me."

"Forget it. I don't know your moral character yet."

"Don't argue. Maybe your soul is still there and you can get some answers from him."

The two patrolling deacons each pulled off the wooden carvings of Pegasus from their waists and threw them on the ground, muttering something at the same time.

The wood carving pendant on the soil emitted a faint light, which suddenly became dazzlingly bright, as if life was flowing. After a moment, the texture on the surface of the wood carving peeled off like bark, gradually cracked, and its volume expanded rapidly. The purple wood texture was gradually replaced by strong muscles. The head of the wood carving quickly stretched and cracked, revealing a pair of sharp horns, and a lion-like mane dancing like flames, with four hooves falling at the bottom.

The ground shook slightly.

With a crisp cracking sound, the two pieces of wood carvings completely transformed into monsters with horse bodies, lions, and ox horns. Their eyes suddenly opened, emitting two cold rays of light as they broke out of their shells.

The name of this beast is 瑡狅马.

Horse

The horse shook its body, exuding a wild aura, and stood in place with an imposing manner.

The whole process is as fast as lightning and happens in just a moment.

Seeing the two men controlling the monster, Yu Shitao tightly grasped the flying sword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the underground canal.

The man in the flame robe looked at the man in the beast pattern robe with worry in his eyes; "The fox demon's aura has disappeared."

Hearing this, the man in the animal-patterned robe turned his head and looked at him, with a hint of hesitation in his tone; "Then don't care?"

"No."

The man in the flaming robe shook his head. "I can't explain this to the inner sect."

Both of them were veterans who often dealt with monsters and beasts. They knew that fox monsters were cunning and the inexplicable disappearance of their aura must be a trick.

"Maybe we can guess what level of fox demon it is?"

The man in the flaming robe did not respond. He looked hesitant and kept silent with his eyes closed. After thinking for a while, he bent down, picked up a speck of dust under his feet, put it to his nose and sniffed it, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

There were sporadic sounds of wind and grass rustling all around.

The golden morning sun covered the two of them.

The man in the flaming robe suddenly raised his eyes and said decisively, "At least level three."

"Then it's not that Junior Brother Zhang's fox demon."

The man in the flaming robe nodded, staring at the pit and canal below him with a serious look. "Also, the smell of rat demons remaining in the mud is very strong, they should be in groups." He raised his hand and patted the belly of the horse, speaking cautiously. "Wait a moment, if Yu Shitao dies, we will call the inner disciples to come to support, if the problem is not serious, you and I will help."

"Finally the digging is finished."

Zhang Mingxuan shook the storage bag in his hand and grinned happily, "Little fox, how did you kill these rat monsters?"

The storage bag was already filled to the brim with Rat Demon Pills.

"I just used basic illusion to make them kill each other." The white fox jumped onto Zhang Mingxuan's shoulder and licked his cheek, showing her seductiveness. "I don't know any magic."

"Isn't your illusion a magic?"

While asking, Zhang Mingxuan used Donghuazi's secret of longevity to mobilize the true energy in his body, transforming it into fire-attributed spiritual power and gathering it at his fingertips. After a while, a flame slowly ignited at his fingertips, and he casually swung it, throwing the flame onto the bodies of the surrounding rat monsters.

"Illusions are just ordinary sorcery, and they are different from magic."

"Then what do I mean?"

After a series of burning sounds, the rat demon's body gradually began to catch fire.

The white fox shook his head, also confused.

However, the canal beneath him was extremely damp and had many potholes. The corpse of the rat demon in front of him burned for a long time but could not be completely burned.
