Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 322 Hunter or prey
Lin Ran was moving forward quickly. His speed was so fast that only his afterimage could be seen with the naked eye.

Soon he found the thin man and his partner, but they encountered a tall monster, which was the mountain man.

Both of them had injuries that looked serious.

"What should we do?" the thin man asked.

Guo Muzhuang said, "Let's run separately."

Just as the two were about to run, a ball of fire burst out and hit the mountain man directly.

"Boom!!!"

The flames exploded in an instant.

The tall mountain man's head was actually blown into pieces.

The two thin men looked at Lin Ran. There was a ball of fire in Lin Ran's palm. He said, "Let's go."

The two nodded, feeling a little embarrassed that they didn't expect Lin Ran to come to them, as his injuries were already very serious.

And his strength was extremely strong. At least the mountain people they couldn't defeat were easily killed by Lin Ran.

at the same time.

Beside a stream, a very handsome man was leaning against a tall tree with his hands. He looked provocatively at the collar of the girl Guan Xixi. The depth squeezed out by two lumps of flesh was fascinating, but Zhao Manyan did not look at it for too long. As an experienced pervert, he knew that he should look into the girl's eyes at this time. Even though what he cared about most now was actually the girl's body, he had to restrain himself at this time and look into her eyes, to tell her with his eyes that he was after her heart, not her body!

Guan Xixi was probably a girl who had never been in a relationship before, and her face turned red after being teased by Zhao Manyan.

"Well, it's not good for us to fall behind like this. I seemed to hear some very scary... scary noises just now." Guan Xixi stuttered and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Don't you still not believe in my ability?" Zhao Manyan said with great confidence.

"But...but we're still in the wild here." Guan Xixi's voice became even softer and her breathing became rapid.

"Isn't this pretty good? The mountains are green and the forests are beautiful, and there's a pretty girl like you who is unforgettable after just one look. I'm not a casual person, but after seeing you, I felt like I couldn't help myself, so I dragged you here so abruptly..." Zhao Manyan said sincerely at this time.

Zhao Manyan and Guan Xixi had been at the back of the team a long time ago, so now they had no idea what had happened to the others.

Zhao Manyan had a very handsome face. Whenever he spoke to the girls in such a soft and pretentious voice, his princely aura would definitely seduce many young girls who were not very worldly-wise. Guan Xixi gradually believed it and she lowered her head shyly.

Zhao Manyan already knew that his chance had come, so he acted decisively... Ahhhh, he had been recuperating on that broken island for more than half a year, and not to mention a woman, he didn't even see a female turtle.

Today, I can finally release the great power that I have accumulated for more than half a year. Wow!
Zhao Manyan slowly lowered his head, his heart was as wild as a beast, but his movements were as gentle as a gentleman...

……

"I didn't expect there is a bigger purple linden tree here." The thin man said palely. Although it has been treated simply, it is still not enough. A powerful healing wizard is still needed.

Suddenly Lin Ran walked out and came to the big linden tree. His eyes passed through the grass and saw a large number of corpses. The blood had already soaked the ground. So that's how it was.

The thin man and Guo Muzhuang came over and were immediately horrified. They were terrified.

At this time, Lin Ran looked at them and said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The three began to leave.

Time passed little by little.

Zhao Manyan put on his clothes with a refreshed look, and the pretty girl also put on her clothes shyly.

Just as Zhao Manyan was about to continue speaking, he suddenly noticed Lin Ran, who had a very subtle expression on his face.

The girl even hid directly behind Zhao Manyan.

Lin Ran looked at the battlefield where the two were fighting and said, "Let's leave quickly. This is not a safe place. We might be hunted."

"Are we being hunted?" Zhao Manyan was extremely surprised.

Lin Ran shared what he had discovered, and said, "It is probably the big purple linden tree that we are so eager to get to, that lured the demons to hunt us."

Zhao Manyan couldn't help but ask, "How is this possible?"

"It's just a guess for now." Lin Ran said and quickly moved forward.

There are still seriously injured people here.

Lin Ran and the others returned quickly, but they had a disagreement when discussing the injuries of Guo Muzhuang and the thin man.

Guo Muzhuang and the thin man were seriously injured and would most likely die if they did not receive treatment.

And some people were unwilling to take the risk of leaving with both of them.

And Mo Fan wanted to save people.

That's where the disagreement lies.

“We can’t just watch him die, can we?” Zhao Manyan glanced at Guo Muzhuang and couldn’t help but sigh. He could still walk a little before, but now his face was terribly pale.

"Then let's go find them ourselves." Mo Fan said. Guo Muzhuang and the thin man were still alive. If there was a healing mage, they would basically be able to survive. They had hope, so there was no reason to watch them die in great pain.

"I also think it's better for everyone to leave here. Lin Ran and the others have already seen another big lime tree, and there are corpses everywhere." Chen Ying said.

"But...but if we wander around like this, we won't be able to meet the elders. The elders will be back soon." Chen Binbin said.

"Hmph, if you want to leave, just go ahead. I hope that you won't be left with only a skeleton left." Wang Hua said coldly.

"Let's follow Lin Ran. With them around, they will be no worse than the elders." Chen Ying said to everyone hurriedly at this time. She was very clear about the strength of Lin Ran and the others.

“Hahaha, you actually want to compare these guys with our elders? If they want to be heroes, let them do it!!”

……

The team had already split into two factions, and Lin Ran and his team never forced it, but Guo Muzhuang still wanted to be rescued, so Lin Ran and his team simply parted ways with these people.

Zhao Manyan carried the unconscious Guo Muzhuang on his back. Guan Xixi chose to stay with Zhao Manyan and the others, after all, they had just had an in-depth conversation before.

“Lingling, what happened here seems a little unbelievable. From the information we collected before, there is no mention of mountain people in Kunyu Mountain.” Mo Fan said as he carried the thin man on his back.

Lin Ran said that the large circle of corpses around the purple linden tree made Mo Fan very concerned. Just as Lin Ran said, it didn’t feel like the hunters were looking for treasures at all. Instead, they fell into a trap carefully set by these man-eating monsters!
"These mountain people should be from outside. In fact, once a territory loses its former overlord, a large number of other monsters will pour in and start to scramble frantically for ownership of the territory. I just didn't expect that extremely dangerous creatures like mountain people would also run to the outer Kunyu Mountain. It seems necessary to notify the government and the army and ask them to quickly recall the gold-digging hunters here." Lingling said.

Not all hunters have the strength of Lin Ran, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan. They were able to kill a killer without any effort. This was not only because of their high cultivation, but also because they were strong fighters who had undergone hard training.

Moreover, the average strength of the hunters who enter Kunyu Mountain to pan for gold is only mid-level, or even lower. Mages below mid-level are basically powerless against mountain people. If they encounter them, they will definitely be slaughtered bloodily. Even mid-level mages may not be the opponents of mountain people.

A team of mid-level hunters with relatively tacit and skilled cooperation must have more than seven people to be able to barely compete with a mountain man, but these mountain men are also a group of demons. They are very smart. They can imitate, intimidate, and even divide. Although the people who come here are called hunters, in the eyes of Lin Ran and others, these mountain men are the real catchers. Now the hunters who enter Kunyu Mountain have become their feast!

"We don't know how many mountain people there are. If there are only a small group, then most of the hunters who travel all over the country won't care at all. Compared with the huge profit of 100,000 yuan for just a few steps, these man-eating mountain people are really nothing." Zhao Manyan said, people are greedy and lucky.

Lingling hoped that there would not be more innocent casualties. Perhaps 70% of the hunters who came to Kunyu Mountain would not be a match for the mountain people. The thought of being eaten until only their remains were left made her feel uncomfortable all over.

“Well, but nothing we say now will work. The government and the army will not give up the cleanup plan here just because of our problem. Hunters seek wealth, so death is understandable.” Mo Fan said.

"Well, let's find a healing wizard first." Chen Ying said.

……

Mo Fan summoned his Feichuan Snow Wolf at this time. This guy had a very sensitive nose and could smell human scent from the blowing wind.

After a while, they found a group of hunters who had a good harvest. So they told them about the mountain people, but they all shook their heads and said they had never encountered them.

It's a bit of a pity though, since there is no healing mage in their team.

They could only continue to look for other teams. There had been a healing mage in the national team before, so they didn't think the healing mage was so indispensable. But today, as they kept running around in the woods and watching Guo Muzhuang and the thin man's life slip away little by little, they couldn't help but sigh that it would not work without healing.

In fact, Lin Ran and his friends were in a prestigious school, and they were usually in an elite team. Their own strength made it not too difficult for them to meet a healing mage. Even the healing mage would actively approach them...

But in ordinary wild teams, including some rare hunter groups, healing mages are a very luxurious existence.

In the situation of Guo Muzhuang and the others, he should have no chance of survival. However, if he is not destined to die and is lucky enough to meet a healing wizard, then it can be considered as a great achievement of his good deeds in his previous life!
……

"Brother Mao, those young men said there were mountain men, could it be true?" A green-shirted wizard from a hunter team that had met Lin Ran and the others couldn't help but ask. He was well aware of the horror of mountain men.

The hunter named Brother Mao glanced at the direction where Lin Ran and the others left, and immediately spat, "Is this your first time going out hunting? Haven't you heard that there are many mediocre bastards who spread rumors in one place all year round and scare away some timid hunters!"

"Ah? But why would they do this?" the man in the shirt asked puzzledly.

Brother Mao suddenly slapped the man in the shirt on the head and cursed, "You are a pig!"

"Rumors are usually spread in a very horrifying way, just like what they said just now, about cannibalism, torture, and killing alive. It sounds very scary, but they made it up, or it may be false rumors. They just want some timid hunters to escape from here, so that they can get more." A woman wearing black glasses in the team smiled lightly and said in a tone of indifference.

"Fuck, is that so? Is that so? They are so insidious. I almost fell for their trick... Ah, that's not right. I saw that the two people they were carrying looked extremely pale and it was obvious that they were going to die..."

"Are you an idiot? They must have disturbed the guardian creature of the purple lime tree, and then they were seriously injured. Isn't this normal?"

"Yeah, they themselves don't have the ability to get the Demon Crown, so they're jealous of others getting it, so they start talking nonsense. It's really disgusting."

"Xiaobao, you have only been a hunter for a few months, and you still have a lot to learn. Don't just believe what others say!" The man named Mao Ge said as he walked in front.

"Brother is right!"

Brother Mao continued walking forward. He wanted to tell Xiaobao some common tricks used by hunters, but he was not paying attention and stepped into a puddle that appeared from nowhere.

Fortunately, Brother Mao was agile. He turned his body and did a handsome side flip to avoid the puddle and regain his balance.

"Damn it, there's a trap here and you guys won't help me..." Brother Mao was about to curse, but when he glanced downwards, he was suddenly struck by lightning.

His pupils shrank sharply, and his face was instantly filled with horror. This puddle was not a puddle at all, but was filled with internal organs and intestines. And right next to Brother Mao, where the leaves were pulled apart, there was actually a piece of skin hanging, a bloody human-like skin!
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Brother Mao screamed.

"What's wrong?" Others came running over.

The next second, this bloody scene shocked everyone.

No one could speak, as if death was looming over their heads.

The wind blew, and the strong smell of blood made people nauseous.
