Chapter 104 Wind Serpent
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Yunhua said, "I think I already said I agreed."
In the evening, dust storms would occur in the Luofeng Mountains, but Yunhua and his group had already made preparations in advance, wearing masks and goggles.
After passing through several mountain ridges, the three arrived at a mountain crevice as wide as a canyon. This place was originally just a small crack that even demons could not enter. However, even the solid rock mountain could not withstand the ever-present wind!
Over time, it has accumulated and become like this.
Snake-like demons are generally extremely sensitive. Although their eyesight is poor, they have a unique perception of touch and smell.
The wind serpent is the best of the best. It has even evolved unique sensory organs that can accurately sense changes in the wind in the air. Combined with the serpent's natural talent, it had already discovered this place when Yunhua and the other two stepped into it.
It even identified two of the people as those it had previously "teased".
The wind serpent flicked its tongue, coiling its slender body in the crevice of the rock, its cold eyes fixed on the outside, waiting for its prey to arrive.
"The wind serpent is highly venomous, though not fatal, but in this environment, without a healing mage..."
"Without an antidote or serum, we basically won't be able to get out of this mountain!" Zhang Lulu said seriously.
Yunhua said, "I have plenty of antidotes here, so there's no need to worry."
T
"Alright, we've entered its territory. Be careful from now on!" Xu Zhaoting was no longer as impatient as before, and when he got serious, he was quite reliable.
Even if Xu Zhaoting hadn't said anything, Yunhua could have guessed that they were probably not far from the wind serpent, because he could smell the faint trace of toxins in the air.
This toxin is no longer harmful to the human body, but its appearance indicates that there must be poisonous demons lurking in this area.
As far as Yunhua knew, in the Falling Wind Mountains, the only demon that used poison was the Wind Serpent.
At this moment, the slender, bluish-gray body of the wind serpent was spreading across the ground like wisps of wind, almost merging into the wind, moving silently.
Snake-like demons are excellent lurkers, but they don't mind taking the initiative when the opportunity arises.
Demons at the warrior level already possess considerable intelligence and cannot be regarded as mindless beasts.
Based on its previous experience, the Wind Serpent already knew the approximate strength of the two opponents, so this time it was going to take the initiative to attack!
"Hiss~"
The wind serpent flicked out its long, thin tongue, carefully discerning the information in the wind, its scarlet eyes gleaming red.
The wind serpent seemed to merge with the wind in the valley. Its lower body coiled up to gather strength, while its upper body rose straight up. Suddenly, a sound of air being torn apart burst forth.
Below the valley, Yunhua and her two companions moved forward in a triangular formation, with Yunhua in front and Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu behind.
At this moment, Yunhua's expression shifted, as if she had sensed something.
"careful!!"
A burst of fireball shot out from Yunhua's hand, grazing Zhang Lulu's shoulder. It seemed to hit something, but it also seemed to hit nothing at all.
But everyone could see a fleeting blue shadow.
"It's a wind serpent!!"
Zhang Lulu spoke in horror. She had encountered the Wind Serpent before and had some understanding of these methods, but at that time they were very passive and did not know how Yunhua had noticed it.
Zhang Lulu quickly released a magical ground wave, moving the three people to a new position. At the same time, she cast "Water Defense - Circulation" on all three of them. Only after doing all this did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"How did you do that?" Xu Zhaoting asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm just more perceptive. My mental strength is slightly higher than yours," Yunhua said calmly.
"Since you can roughly sense the wind serpent's movements, that's great! As long as I catch it off guard, I can blast it to pieces!"
Xu Zhaoting was, after all, a mid-level lightning mage. With the power of his thunderbolt, as long as he hit the wind serpent, even if he couldn't kill it, he could cripple it.
Wherever lightning strikes, everything turns to dust!
Yunhua anticipated and neutralized the wind serpent's premeditated attack, which enraged it. Its tail lashed out unconsciously, easily shattering a rock.
The sound that came out startled the three of them.
"Hiss~~"
The wind serpent's eyes blazed with crimson; it couldn't wait any longer. The wind serpent was a treasure in the eyes of mages, but mages were also to the wind serpent. Human mages were a great source of nourishment, and their magical energy was the most beloved by demons.
It had already regretted not being able to take down those two human mages before, and now that another one seemed even more delicious, the hunger in its belly was constantly devouring its consciousness, driving it to launch the next attack immediately.
The wind serpents' bodies, which defy common knowledge about demons and monsters and grow in reverse, give them terrifying strength. Even though they were just grazed by Yunhua's level three fire burst, there wasn't a single charred mark on their scales.
Their bodies are the most powerful weapons!
They circle their bodies and launch themselves forward; their hunting techniques are often so simple and unadorned—they just pounce on their prey!
Ordinary low-level spells cannot break its scales, so they cannot harm it and it is not a threat at all.
As for intermediate-level magic? It's difficult to hit it given the speed of the wind serpent.
The sound of air being torn apart came again. This time, Yun Hua didn't need to remind them; both Xu Zhaoting and the other realized that this was a head-on confrontation without any scruples.
However, the wind serpent moved too fast, so fast that you could hear its sound but not see its shadow before its body was already in front of you!
It was as fast as the wind and as powerful as lightning.
This time, it chose Zhang Lulu, the weakest of the three, and was overconfident in its own strength, so it decided to play a cat-and-mouse game.
Faced with the Wind Serpent's "ordinary" attack, Zhang Lulu's initial-level water defense appeared extremely weak, so pale and powerless.
Zhang Lulu could even see the wind serpent's open mouth, with venom showing through its two long, sharp fangs.
A mere level three water defense technique was as fragile as a sheet of paper under the fatal blow of a general-level demon.
puff!
The water barrier is like a series of water ribbons that surround the area. As long as it is not destroyed immediately, it can regenerate on its own and continue to replenish itself.
Unfortunately, Shuiyu could not withstand the wind serpent's attack for long.
At the critical moment, Yunhua suddenly pulled Zhang Lulu's body halfway, allowing her to barely avoid the snake's bite. At the same time, he prepared his other hand, intending to take the opportunity to punch it.
However, the wind serpent reacted extremely quickly. Instead of continuing to peek out, it twisted its body in the air in an extraordinary way, and ended up on the other side.
At the same time, it coiled its tail, which looked like it had been forged from refined iron, and directly shattered the water defense on Xu Zhaoting's body.
"boom!"
Xu Zhaoting felt a powerful force strike him, his water defenses were shattered, and the wind serpent's iron tail was about to hit his body.
