Chapter 167

"Rustle~"

"Rustle!" A series of straw friction sounds came.

They saw that group of Straw Demons looking up, raising their hands in unison, looking like they were embracing the moon.

And in the night sky, a withered yellow figure slowly drifted down.

"So short? Is that a River Realm Straw Demon?" Chang Ying's eyes widened.

The Straw Demon clan had a characteristic: the closer they were to the peak of the Stream Realm, the larger their body size!

But after advancing to the River Realm, their straw leaves would be woven more tightly, which also caused their body size to shrink significantly.

For example, this River Realm Straw Demon before them was at most 1.5 meters tall.

"It's wearing clothes and can fly too." Lu Ran stared fixedly at the demon descending from the sky.

It was draped in a withered yellow straw leaf coat and wore a withered yellow straw hat.

The pupils hidden under the brim, composed of individual rice ears, also glowed with a strange withered yellow luster.

Lu Ran knew that was the River Artifact evil technique: Withered Grass Coat!

Its defensive ability was not outstanding; the key was that it could grant the Straw Demon clan the ability to fly.

That was terrifying!

"Rustle~"

The tiny Straw Demon floating in the air kept rubbing its straw hands, making bursts of sound.

"Rustle~"

"Rustle!" The Straw Demons without mouths also responded to the clan leader with the sound of straw rubbing.

As humans, they didn't know what this group of demons was studying.

"Clatter~"

Chang Ying held her bamboo tube, shaking it while muttering softly: "They are so cute~"

"Whoosh~"

While speaking, a phantom spirit sign flew out.

Chang Ying was full of expectation, only to see the spirit sign hanging high above her head, then radiating wisps of mist, connecting to her body.

Five Treasure Sign... Auxiliary Sign!

Chang Ying: "."

Lu Ran looked at Chang Ying: "You are quite cute too."

Chang Ying lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sorry."

Tian Tian hurriedly said: "It's okay, we just happen to need to replenish divine power."

Chang Ying lowered her head even further: "This is a Five Treasure Sign, it can only replenish my own divine power."

Lu Ran said indifferently: "We just need to stay close to you... Here they come!"

A full 8 Straw Demons at the school gate, under the call of their leader, launched a charge into the school.

Tian Tian quickly pushed out the nine-petaled lotus, and divided two petals, sending them to Deng Yutang and Chang Ying respectively: "Here."

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!" Pieces of straw like flying needles were sprinkled toward the four of them.

Tian Tian raised her small hands slightly, controlling the seven-petaled lotus, facing diagonally upward: "Does Master need one?"

"No, I'll lure that River Realm Straw Demon away, you guys kill them quickly." Lu Ran said in a deep voice, moving to the side.

And on his body, a layer of water flow armor had already emerged.

Hearing a strange sound, the flying straw couldn't break through the defense of the lotus shield at all and were all bounced away.

"Go, you two together!" Tian Tian commanded, "Show some momentum, they are very timid!"

"Yes!" Deng Yutang pushed the lotus shield and charged forward with his spear.

He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; the red glow flashing on the spear tip directly gutted a Straw Demon.

"Yes!" Chang Ying was pleasantly surprised; it was a rare opportunity for close combat.

She also held the lotus shield with one hand, like a terrifying chariot, rumbling forward!

A muffled "thud" sound!

Chang Ying exploded directly into the enemy ranks and forcibly knocked two Straw Demons flying.

She had a spirit sign hanging above her head, constantly transporting divine power to her, and divine power surged in her palms, wrapping around her mountain-cleaving axe.

"Sizzle!"

The female savage swung her heavy axe, and the sharp blade instantly split a Straw Demon in two!

Deng and Chang, in just one charge, scattered the Straw Demons' formation and took away two Straw Demons.

Not only that, the remaining few Straw Demons all revealed looks of horror.

Clearly, they had already become timid!

Tian Tian, as the commander, showed a solid foundation of knowledge, changing the squad's tactics according to the enemy's characteristics, with good results.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next step was harvesting.

"Rustle~"

The River Realm Straw Demon was suddenly unhappy.

Its pair of withered yellow pupils radiated a brilliant luster, and its pair of straw palms reached downward.

"Baa~~~"

Suddenly, a sheep bleat sounded, and the Straw Demon twisted its head violently.

Although this clan had no nose or mouth, they had eyes and ears; they could hear the sound of each other's straw leaves rubbing, and naturally, they could hear the sheep bleat.

Energy surged in the Straw Demon's hands, and it immediately summoned a large amount of straw, stabbing toward Lu Ran like flying needles.

"Sizzle—"

Immortal mist sprayed under Lu Ran's feet, and he flew backward.

The Straw Demon decisively chased after him, constantly sprinkling pieces of straw.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

In the blink of an eye, a row of withered yellow straw had been stuck along Lu Ran's sliding path, lingering for a long time.

Honestly, Lu Ran was very uncomfortable; he was only on the receiving end of the bombardment.

He really wanted to summon the Night Charm Blade and kill the Straw Demon chasing in the air directly, piercing it through...

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran kept calling, and the Straw Demon flew lower and lower.

This is it!

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, a layer of wind waves cushioned his feet, and his sliding figure stopped abruptly.

Evil technique: Night Dance of the City!

Just at this moment, the Straw Demon's body suddenly grew larger!

"Huh?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to fly and stab into the night sky, cutting off the enemy's head.

But now, the Straw Demon's tightly woven straw body instantly disassembled, and the whole body became incredibly fluffy.

Roughly speaking, it must have been ten meters tall!

How could a tiny human's blade cut off such a huge head?

Due to the Straw Demon's excessive size, the clothes on its body were also torn apart, and it could no longer fly.

It fell onto the snow not too heavily, and then...

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Endless straw shot out from within its body!

Evil technique: Dance of the Straw!

"Good fellow~"

Lu Ran's immortal hooves rose again, and he immediately retreated backward.

Even though he was wearing a layer of water flow armor, he subconsciously raised his arm to cover his face.

Pieces of straw covered the sky and the earth, dense and numerous!

It could be called an all-encompassing, no-dead-angle output.

"Careful!"

"Open the defensive formation!"

In front of the teaching building, a group of Moon-Gazers displayed various defensive techniques to prevent the straw from piercing through the windows and into the classrooms.

And the large Straw Demon in the snow was actually constantly shrinking.

In just over ten seconds, the ten-meter-sized creature became only five or six meters left.

Yes, the evil technique "Dance of the Straw" was shooting its own body...

It could be seen that this Straw Demon had completely lost its mind.

It was also to blame that a certain little lamb's technique was too evil.

Clearly, it was the divine technique "Sound of Sorrow," yet it was more evil than an evil technique.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh..."

When the Straw Demon's body shrank to two meters, the straw it shot became less and less, and the speed and force were no longer there.

It seemed it was about to stop.

Lu Ran's heart stirred!

He tilted his head, looking at the Straw Demon in the snow from afar, and spoke again: "Baa~~~"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, the speed of the straw shooting accelerated again.

The Straw Demon's body size also further shrank.

1.6 meters... 1.3 meters... 1.1 meters...

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran walked over, one hand placed on his chest, pulling out a piece of straw that had pierced into his water flow armor.

"Poof~"

The straw in his hand disappeared without a trace, and Lu Ran stood beside the Straw Demon, looking down at the little guy.

The little Straw Demon lay softly in the snow, its energy dissipated seven or eight-tenths; where was the style that a River Realm should have?

Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What is called an evil technique?

Look at this Dance of the Straw; can you not be convinced?

It actually played itself out of existence!

"Whoosh!" The little Straw Demon shot out another piece of straw; despite being severely wounded, it still thought about killing the human.

Lu Ran nodded silently.

Don't worry, I'll help you!

He spoke softly: "Baa~"

"Whoosh! Whoosh~"

The little Straw Demon was "alive" again!

Under the instigation of the evil lamb, the Straw Demon seemed to have a conditioned reflex, shooting out a few more pieces of straw.

Only its attack was incredibly weak; this time, the straw couldn't even pierce Lu Ran's water flow armor.

Lu Ran watched it get smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, until...

"Baa~"

"Poof~"

The Straw Demon, less than 30 centimeters tall, turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished without a trace.

Lu Ran put his hands on his hips, his expression strange.

This demon was actually quite easy to kill?

"Woo~~~"

Very abruptly, a low alarm sounded in the city!

Lu Ran's expression was shocked, his playful mood vanished, and he quickly scanned the surroundings.

Special event?!

It was almost midnight, and the most dangerous time period was about to be endured.

The intensity of the demon invasion would only get lower and lower; at this time, you give me a special event?

Not just Lu Ran, everyone inside and outside the school grounds had their expressions change in shock.

"Don't, don't!" Chang Ying had a bitter face; the composure she had when facing the Straw Demon just now had completely vanished.

Deng Yutang gripped the Tianchen Spear, searching for any movement around him.

"Short, long, short, long..." Tian Tian looked at her watch, her voice much louder, "Alternating long and short, Night Procession of All Ghosts!

Stop absorbing energy, let's go back to the front of the teaching building!"

The trio quickly rushed toward the teaching building, and Lu Ran stood in the center of the playground, welcoming the arrival of the three.

Just as the two sides were about to meet, a strange phenomenon occurred!

A violent surge of energy suddenly surged, blocking the path of the trio.

"Don't panic, retreat first..." Lu Ran hadn't finished speaking when he stopped.

Because four Straw Demons had emerged, opening their eyes and looking around.

When they saw Deng Yutang and the others, the Straw Demons immediately killed them.

Lu Ran didn't go up to help, but looked to the southeast side of the playground.

Beside the swing set, another small group of Straw Demons appeared in a cluster.

Lu Ran: "."

Honestly, the moment he heard the alarm, his heart sank to the bottom.

Lu Ran had thought about the Night Charm clan attacking, thought about the Wild Female Ba clan attacking.

He even thought that the rare Prison Heaven clan had returned to Yuxiang to trample this city again!

Lu Ran never expected that this Night Procession of All Ghosts would be the Straw Demon clan...

"Whoosh!!"

"Kill!" Immortal mist sprayed under Lu Ran's feet, and he held his twin blades, killing toward the battle group where the squad was.

Since that's the case,

Then don't blame me for crazily farming points on this final exam night!

Straw Demon clan... be sensible!
