Chapter 35: 4th Stage!

Half a month later, in the wilderness.

On a torch path stretching into the depths of the night, the Jiang-Tian-Deng trio all had grim expressions, looking at a quite large vicious dog.

Its body length was over two meters; it was clearly a Stream Realm vicious dog.

It was clearly a four-person team, where did the other person go?

At this moment, Lu Ran was holding his Rosy Cloud Blade, wandering in the dark wilderness, attracting two smaller vicious dogs.

A series of "woof woof woof" sounds made people feel annoyed and chaotic.

At certain moments, Lu Ran wanted to turn around and kill them, but reason made him choose restraint.

The two vicious dogs he had taunted away were both at Mist Realm 3rd-4th stage; Lu Ran not only couldn't kill them back, but he also had to be careful of the opponent's evil technique, Vicious Teeth!

"This is really annoying!"

Lu Ran muttered, lifting the red scarf covering his eyes with one hand.

Regarding the skill of "sound-based positioning," Lu Ran had undergone a full half-month of training and could be considered to have just glimpsed the path.

But the situation was too dangerous at this moment, so he still chose to use his eyes to observe and assist in the battle.

"Brother Lu! It's coming!" From afar, Deng Yutang's loud roar came.

"Swish!"

Immortal mist filled Lu Ran's feet, and his whole body ejected, instantly pulling a distance away from the vicious dog behind him.

Even more terrifying was that the moment Lu Ran left, four sharp fangs appeared out of thin air, biting fiercely into empty air.

I have to say,

Divine Technique: Immortal Hoof, is just too damn suitable for jungling!

Lu Ran continued to kite, while turning his head to look at the torch path, also seeing the back of the Stream Realm vicious dog lunging forward.

"Baa~"

The sheep bleat was small and light, not easily noticed, yet the vicious dog clan, with their sensitive senses, heard it clearly!

The Stream Realm vicious dog subconsciously turned its head, only to see a figure like a ghost, crossing the torch path.

The phantom darted out from the dark wilderness on one side, instantly disappearing into the dark wilderness on the other side, its figure vanishing without a trace.

Only faint mist drifted on the torch path.

Such a scene was somewhat bizarre, and somewhat thrilling.

It's really hard to tell who is the demon...

"Monster!" Deng Yutang took the opportunity to step forward, the spear tip probing under the vicious dog's belly, and he fiercely flicked upward!

Whoosh!!

Only to see that on Deng Yutang's body, a human-shaped phantom actually expanded, several times larger than Deng Yutang's physical body.

It's just like a damn Martial Soul True Body!

That human figure was very blurry, and one couldn't see the appearance, but the red scarf wrapped around its head was very clear.

Divine Technique: Red Scarf Soul!

The Stream Realm vicious dog was already huge and fast, and with it lunging with momentum, the impact was absolutely full.

Ordinary Mist Realm believers have only one fate—being pounced to the ground and miserably bitten.

However, Red Scarf believer Deng Yutang directly summoned the ancestor to possess him, and his body attributes instantly skyrocketed!

"Rise!!"

Deng Yutang shouted angrily, picking up the Stream Realm vicious dog with his spear, fiercely tossing it into the high sky.

At the rear of the team, Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes focused, sparks splattering from her fingertips, and an Exploding Flame Rune was flicked into the night sky.

"Boom!"

Firelight appeared, flames surging!

Instantly, the vicious dog's wails echoed through the sky.

Jiang Ruyi didn't stop, her fingertips trembling slightly, quickly drawing the next Exploding Flame Rune.

Such tactics were the optimal solution derived from practice after practice.

Deng Yutang had also thought about taking advantage of the vicious dog being distracted to stab it to death directly.

But doing so had a low fault tolerance.

Because Deng Yutang had to complete a one-hit kill, and there couldn't be the slightest mistake!

Otherwise, the vicious dog coming with huge momentum would likely penetrate the spear body, which would be equivalent to pouncing directly onto Deng Yutang's body.

If the vicious dog didn't die at this time, but was struggling on the verge of death, biting wildly...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

"Boom!"

The Stream Realm vicious dog had just risen to the highest point, and another Exploding Flame Rune had already arrived.

Jiang Ruyi's divine power surged, her eyes not leaving the vicious dog, but she said: "Watch Lu Ran."

Tian Tian had been standing in front of Jiang Ruyi, holding her shield in alert; she was also the last line of defense for the three-person group.

Once the tactics failed, Tian Tian would have to step up.

Now that the Stream Realm vicious dog had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, Tian Tian immediately knelt down to save the little fat sheep of her own team.

"Whoosh!"

Divine power surged, and Tian Tian's ear-length short hair fluttered.

Divine Technique: Lotus Bud!

Twenty meters ahead, a lotus flower quietly bloomed.

"Lu Ran." Tian Tian tried hard to shout, but the sound was still not loud.

"Brother Lu!" Deng Yutang raised his volume, echoing through the gloomy wilderness.

"Coming!"

A voice came from far to near, and in the dark wilderness, the phantom finally appeared.

Lu Ran aimed at the lotus blooming on the flat ground on the torch path and rushed straight toward it.

Clearly, this tactic had also been practiced by the team I don't know how many times.

"Woof!"

"Woof!!" Behind, two vicious dogs pursued relentlessly, shouting angrily.

Speed was originally the strength of the vicious dog clan.

And now, this damn human race is truly hateful to the extreme!

Every minute and every second Lu Ran lived seemed to be mocking the thin dog: "Is that all?"

"Woof!"

The vicious dog suddenly had its dog eyes shine, only to see the figure fleeing in front suddenly turn around?

Indeed, the moment Lu Ran approached the illusory lotus, he turned around fiercely and slid backward.

He bowed his legs, leaned his upper body forward, and even stabbed his blade into the ground, his whole body sliding backward in the illusory lotus.

The vicious dog was impatient and immediately pounced.

Its landing point, naturally, went without saying!

The illusory lotus was like a mousetrap, and Lu Ran was that tempting piece of cheese.

"Woof!"

The vicious dog in the back, seeing its companion pounce over, opened its dog mouth, and the evil technique started again.

Evil Technique: Vicious Teeth!

Four fangs appeared out of thin air, piecing together in front of Lu Ran, biting fiercely.

And before the fangs were formed, Lu Ran had already sensed the energy fluctuation.

"Ping!"

Lu Ran collapsed his feet and leaped to the side fiercely.

The illusory lotus contracted rapidly, catching the vicious dog that had thrown itself into the net, and the moment it closed its petals and became a lotus bud, it turned into a solid object.

"Thump, thump, thump," a few muffled sounds.

The vicious dog, with its precise landing point, was trapped solidly by the lotus bud.

And the vicious dog in the back slammed into the lotus bud that had turned into a solid object.

The two demons cooperating in hunting were thus separated.

Although there was only a petal between them, they could no longer help each other.

At the same time, Deng Yutang had already pounced up.

"Die!"

Deng Yutang was extremely fast, like lightning!

Because the ancestor hadn't left his body yet!

The so-called skyrocketing of various attributes naturally included speed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran immediately spoke up, bleating softly:

"Baa~"

In an instant, the vicious dog was distracted, and the Heavenly Star Spear had already arrived at its head!

Deng Yutang could catch the full-force pounce of a Stream Realm vicious dog, and couldn't handle a small Mist Realm vicious dog?

Three spears, two spears, and the dog's life was gone!

"Tian Tian!" Lu Ran shouted sharply, mist surging at his feet, and he rushed straight toward the lotus bud.

Tian Tian didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, staring tightly at Lu Ran's figure.

Just before the figure was about to hit the lotus bud, Tian Tian hurriedly retracted her little hand.

The lotus bud lost its master's divine power supply and instantly turned into a mass of phantom.

"Thin dog, I've endured you for a long time!"

Lu Ran held the Rosy Cloud Blade and crossed horizontally through the illusory lotus.

"Swish!"

A dark dog head flew high, splattering fresh blood.

And Lu Ran rushed into the dark wilderness, disappearing without a trace again.

"Well done." Jiang Ruyi leaned over and reached out, lightly patting Tian Tian's head.

"Mm." Tian Tian, who was kneeling on one knee, looked up with her little face, revealing a sweet smile.

Far behind the two girls was a bloody dog corpse.

The Stream Realm vicious dog had been blasted into a bruised and battered state, long since having no signs of life.

"Flap, flap, flap~"

High in the sky, a crow circled, taking everything into its eyes.

Even though Dou Zhiqiang was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wonderful!

A four-person team with an average strength of Mist Realm, 3rd stage, had slaughtered 1 Stream Realm vicious dog and 2 Mist Realm vicious dogs without injury.

The four people displayed their respective sect characteristics, cooperated with incomparable tacit understanding, and connected smoothly.

The offensive was like mercury pouring onto the ground, done in one go!

I really should record this segment and send it to the school as a novice textbook!

Such skillful cooperation was not just a stroke of luck.

Dou Zhiqiang, as the proctoring instructor, had witnessed the growth of these few people to this point throughout the past 15 days.

It's just that there's no such thing as high or low grades for summer homework, only completion or not.

Otherwise, I really should give these students... hmm?

The dark crow flapped its wings, a pair of pupils seeing through the vast night, locking onto a certain place in the dark wilderness.

In his line of sight, that blade-wielding youth's body was trembling slightly, his whole body shrouded in mist.

"Mm~"

Lu Ran closed his eyes tightly, emitting a nasal sound as if enjoying himself.

The divine power in his body kept surging, and the Divine Power Orb at his neck was also releasing mist, helping him step into a higher realm.

Mist Realm, 4th stage!

At the same time, in Lu Ran's spiritual world, in that mist-shrouded Demon Sculpture Garden.

In the pupils of the huge sculpture belonging exclusively to the vicious dog clan, which were originally dim and lusterless, a faint luster quietly emerged...
