Chapter 265: Wind Lion (Third update, seeking all)

Li Zhangsheng's team all expressed that they did not want to speak; Hell-level tasks are superior to Difficult-level tasks and require facing Leader-level Demonized Fairies.

Facing Elite-level Demonized Fairies, Li Zhangsheng can handle them with ease, and the difficulty is not very high. But Leader-level Demonized Fairies are different; the gap in cultivation realm is too large, and even for Aixi, the strongest in his hands, a mere graze would result in death or injury.

Isn't this just asking for a beating!

Unless he becomes a Third-rank Royal Beast Master and his main Demon Pets like Aixi advance to Elite-level Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng will absolutely not accept a Hell-level task.

Li Zhangsheng looked at his teammates and asked, "It seems we can only accept the Difficult-level task of a wanted Monster Tamer; what do you all think?"

The teammates looked at one another, and even though there was some worry, they eventually passed it by a unanimous vote.

For the Difficult-level task of a wanted Monster Tamer, the opponent will be a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, who must possess several High-Rank Beasts, or even Elite-level Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the task list and finally pointed to one of the tasks, saying, "Then let's take the task that is closest!"

"This is your task information!" Instructor Qian Yuanfei handed over the task information at the right moment.

Task: Kill Liu Jiyu!

Target: Liu Jiyu!

Realm: Third-rank Royal Beast Master!

Secret Technique: Bloodthirsty Technique, Mental Acceleration.

Demon Pets: High-Rank Wind Lion, High-Rank Demonic Ape, others unknown!

Reward: 500 Academic Credits!

Both are Difficult-level tasks, but the Academic Credit reward for a wanted Monster Tamer is clearly much more generous.

This is also related to the difficulty; Demonized Fairies have no reason to speak of and like to go straight forward, so as long as one has sufficient strength, the danger is not great.

As for Monster Tamers, they use every means possible, and if they cannot win, they can still run away; the difficulty of keeping a Third-rank Royal Beast Master is undoubtedly very high.

Additionally, wanted Monster Tamers have high mobility and are very vigilant; as soon as they catch wind of something, they will relocate, and sometimes just finding the target takes a lot of time.

At this time, Instructor Qian Yuanfei took out a map, pointed to a place over a hundred miles away, and said, "According to the latest intelligence, someone saw Liu Jiyu here yesterday, though I don't know if he is still there!"

"It is already late, we will set off tomorrow! Instructor, if there is any latest intelligence on Liu Jiyu, do not forget to pass it to us!"

Even though he possessed the Moonlight Cat, due to his teammates, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of fighting at night.

Although the Dark Vision Aura can provide powerful night vision capabilities, due to the light, it does not mean that vision becomes the same as during the day.

In a pitch-black environment, Li Zhangsheng might not be able to provide effective rescue, and it would be easy to lose personnel.

"Rest assured! I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep!" Instructor Qian Yuanfei yawned and was the first to leave the room.

The next morning, Li Zhangsheng's team set off; they rode large Flying Demon Pets and flew rapidly toward their destination.

It was only a hundred miles in total, and with the help of the Flying Demon Pets, it took only half an hour; to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Zhangsheng's team began to circle and descend when they were about to reach the destination.

A few miles away was a village nestled against the mountains and near the water, which was also the destination of their trip.

Li Zhangsheng instructed, "Let's first change into the coarse cloth clothes we prepared and pretend to be commoners to approach the destination! Remember, everyone, do not separate too far; if you find the target, try to approach him as much as possible, at the very least, do not let him escape!"

No one had any objections; soon, the five of them changed into coarse cloth clothes, smeared some mud on themselves, and hunched over while holding farm tools like hoes and sickles, doing their best to dress up as farmers.

Of course, even if they tried their best to disguise themselves, they did not look like farmers and could easily be seen through by real farmers. However, their opponent was not a farmer, and they were not afraid of being seen through by Liu Jiyu, as long as they let the other party discover them later.

Since the opponent was a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, Li Zhangsheng did not dare to let the team separate, otherwise, it would be too dangerous.

Not long after, the five of them entered the village; the village did not cover a large area, smoke curled up from the chimneys, and the population was relatively sparse. At this time of day, many diligent villagers had gone to till the fields.

Seeing five strange faces, the villagers they met along the way inevitably felt a bit surprised, but they did not meddle and went about their own business.

Just then, Chen Yunsheng pointed to a figure not far away and said, "Hey, look at that guy, is that the target?"

Everyone could not help but look over there in unison; with just one glance, they confirmed it was Liu Jiyu. Except for Li Zhangsheng, the other four subconsciously quickened their pace, trying to surround the target and not give Liu Jiyu a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, they were still too impatient; Liu Jiyu was extremely vigilant and immediately discovered their abnormality. He did not choose to fight, but instead turned and ran at the fastest speed.

The moment he turned, a Blood-colored Hexagram appeared, and a Wind Lion five meters in length suddenly emerged. Liu Jiyu quickly jumped on it and rode the Wind Lion to run toward the outside of the village.

"Chase!"

Li Zhangsheng was a bit speechless, but he still immediately summoned Aixi and quickly chased after Liu Jiyu.

The others followed suit; because there was a mountain forest ahead, they all summoned land mounts and followed closely behind Li Zhangsheng.

Due to the difference in speed, the distance between them began to widen.

"I will entangle him first; remember, you must not separate!"

After giving the instruction, Aixi had already entered a combat state; a layer of cyan Wind Cloak instantly appeared on its body, which caused its speed to surge, and it chased after him at an even faster speed.

Liu Jiyu's mount was a High-Rank Wind Lion; its cultivation realm was slightly higher, but it was still inferior to Aixi in terms of speed.

However, Liu Jiyu seemed to have surveyed this mountain forest, was relatively familiar with the nearby terrain, and had even set up several traps here.

Suddenly, Aixi activated a slip-knot trap; a covered rope instantly tightened, binding Aixi's left front limb tightly. A bent tree branch to the side began to spring up, wanting to pull Aixi upward.

Under the pull of the rope, Aixi stumbled; fortunately, its strength was great and its speed was extremely fast, so it instantly snapped the rope, but its speed was inevitably affected. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wind Lion seized the chance to open up the distance.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly projected his Mental Power, but he could only cover a radius of a hundred meters, and the radius was only fifty meters; yet Aixi's speed was truly too fast, so it was difficult to achieve a preventive effect during the pursuit.

Although these simple traps could not cause any harm to Li Zhangsheng and Aixi, they delayed Aixi's footsteps.

As time passed, Aixi's Wind Speed Characteristic was continuously activated, and after running for a distance, there were no more traps, causing the distance between the two to begin to shorten rapidly.

"Kid, you're dead!" Liu Jiyu had been paying attention to the movements behind him; he was first surprised by Aixi's speed, and then revealed a meaningful smile.

Because during the chase, the other four members of Li Zhangsheng's team had been left behind by a large distance, and it would likely take a minute or two to reunite with Li Zhangsheng.

In Liu Jiyu's view, he could completely kill the 'underestimating and rash' Li Zhangsheng before they could reunite.

Old rules: Three, pigs, certificate!
