Chapter 396 The Black-haired Girl from the East and the Tsundere Prince 12
Nova raised his eyelids and secretly glanced at the string of crystal clear unidentified objects, then lowered his head and silently followed the team.
After walking out of the dense forest, there is a river valley and the view becomes wider.
The water flowed down from the cliff not far away, forming a fan-shaped river beach. At this moment, there were three animals licking water by the river.
Its body size is between that of a wolf and a dog, with round ears and a long tail. It is reddish-brown in color, with dense fur, and white patterns on its chest, abdomen, and inside of its limbs.
"It's Akainu."
Ruan Ruan's face looked a little solemn.
Akainu has sharp claws, great courage, and is ferocious and greedy. He is a mid-level monster. The trouble is that Akainu is a social animal, good at collective siege and winning by numbers.
Apparently, Belial also thought of this and did not dare to act rashly.
Everyone retreated back into the dense forest to discuss countermeasures.
Beryl: "Why not attack from a distance and throw a fireball directly."
Celine rejected it directly, "No, Akainu's fur is very valuable, it would be a shame to burn it."
Beryl was speechless. "Which is more important, points or money? At this time, it's more important to get points first."
"I get points for the academy bonus, and I get Akainu skin for money, is there any difference?" Celine was unmoved, "And don't tell me you don't like gold coins."
Beryl: ...He likes it.
Not only did he like it, he was also in great need of it. The price of forging a good sword required countless gold coins.
Ruan Ruan analyzed: "I have observed carefully. There are traces of blood on the fur of the three Akainu. It is obvious that they have just had a full meal. Akainu like to hunt in groups. These three may have been separated from the main group. Moreover, Akainu likes to be clean and is very courageous, but now he only dares to lick water by the river."
"There are other magical beasts in the water." Della directly stated her speculation, and said with certainty: "I sensed it."
Ruan Ruan nodded: "Not bad."
Dela reached out: "Reward."
Ruan Ruan: ...You’re addicted, right?
Beryl was confused, "What reward?"
"Nothing," Ruan Ruan changed the subject, "We can find a way to get the monster in the river to fight with Akainu, while the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind."
"Wow, Ruan Ruan, you are so philosophical." Celine praised, "But what are mantises and orioles? Are they poisonous?"
"It's not important." Ruan Ruan held his forehead, "Now we have to find a way to get Akainu into the water."
Celine: "That's easy. I'm a wood element. I can activate the vines and drop them into the water."
Della blinked. "I can use a water dragon to reel them in."
The others had gradually gotten used to her occasional enthusiasm. Only Ruan Ruan knew her little thoughts and said helplessly, "Very good, there will be rewards only if you kill the monster."
Everyone else thought it was a reward from the academy, but only Della understood.
Ok.
She licked her lower lip. Killing monsters = candied haws.
Nova on the other side also quietly looked up at the river beach. Killing monsters = having sparkles.
The simple and crude equation was established in the minds of both of them.
Ruan Ruan simply drew up a battle plan.
Celine trapped Akainu from behind with vines, and Della used a water dragon to roll him into the water, letting the monster in the water fight Akainu first. Belial was good at close combat and could finish off the enemy when necessary, while Ruan Ruan guarded the rear to prevent any accidents.
After everyone had agreed, they returned to the edge of the valley. Celine waved her magic wand and whispered a spell. Three blue-gray vines sprouted from behind Akainu.
Akainu reacted very quickly, and one of them almost escaped. Fortunately, its hind legs were entangled by the thickest vine. The barbs on the vine pierced into the flesh, and blood continued to seep out. Akainu let out a shrill howl.
At the same time, a whirlpool appeared on the river surface. Della brought out a water dragon, which rose into the air like a wave and directly swept Akainu and others to the center of the river.
Everyone came to the river bank, and Beryl raised his sword, waiting for the opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of bubbles gurgled from the surface of the river, and scarlet liquid surged up from the bottom of the river, with the splash getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that the underwater thing was about to approach the water, Belial swung out his sword without waiting for it to surface.
He applied magic power to this sword, and the hot blade cut through the water surface, producing a burst of water mist with a crackling sound. Soon, lumps of objects and minced meat floated on the surface of the river.
"It's the Devil Crocodile!"
Celine, who was just feeling sad about the red fox's torn fur, immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and find the crocodile's head."
Belial had used all his strength in that sword strike just now, directly chopping the crocodile's head and body into pieces, but he himself sat on the ground exhausted.
Celine jumped into the river excitedly, picked up the crocodile's head and started pulling out its teeth, as if she had found some treasure.
Belia laughed and shouted to Celine: "You money-grubber! Remember to give me some."
The teeth of the devil crocodile are an essential alchemical material, and this is exactly what he needs.
Della didn't like the bloody scene, so she simply turned her back and rested on the spot, slowly replenishing her magic power.
Ruan Ruan glanced at the calm water surface and immediately became alert.
wrong!
"Celin, get ashore!"
However, before Celine could react, a sudden change occurred, and the water surface behind her cracked into a jagged ripple - it was actually a five-meter-long devil crocodile. It rose up like a rotten wood exploding, with pieces of meat hanging on its yellow-brown scales, and its huge teeth were about to bite the girl's head.
The situation was urgent. Ruan Ruan condensed an ice cone and was about to stab forward, but a black shadow was faster than her.
Before everyone could see what was happening, they heard the devil crocodile let out a sharp and piercing howl.
Nova was seen standing in the front, holding a piece of the devil crocodile's forelimb in his hand, with blood gushing out. It was actually torn off alive.
Ruan Ruan:! !
The devil crocodile has skin as hard as armor, an ugly appearance, and a roar that has an aggressive effect, like a devil's summons, hence the name.
He actually ripped the leg off with just one hand? !
Beryl's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted at Nova's back: "You are crazy! Retreat quickly and run to the woods!"
The devil crocodiles can't stay away from water for too long, so as long as they hide in the dense forest, they will be fine.
Della had already seized the opportunity and used a stream of water to pull Celine out. The two were about to take action when they heard this.
"Can't escape, it's a high-level monster."
The boy's hoarse voice sounded like an old telegraph cassette, with every syllable smelling of rust.
Before everyone could recover from his sudden actions and words, they were shocked into silence by the term "high-level magic beast".
Nova looked behind him and said simply, "You go first."
Ruan Ruan was the closest to him, and when she looked up she saw his eyes clearly, and her heart was shocked.
Della reacted quickly, gathering water magic in her hands, her face as cold as frost, "We must kill it! High-level monsters hold grudges, and if we break its legs, it will fight to the death."
"Damn it!" Belial spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his face fierce: "Then do it!"
