Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 24 Saving the Father-in-Law, Butterfly Effect
After finally arriving at Anjie, I learned that Lu Ran was leaving again.

Ye Xinxia was puzzled, but she respected Lu Ran's decision.

Ye Xinxia wiped her tears:

"Brother Lu Ran, you must protect your own safety!"

Seeing Ye Xinxia's eyes wet with tears, Lu Ran felt a pang in his heart:
"Xinxia, ​​when I come back, I'll take you to live in a new city!"

"Um"

Afterwards, Lu Ran took on some commissions to clear out the wandering demons near the security barrier.

It is worth mentioning that all members of the City Monster Hunting Team are safe and sound.

They were stationed in the Hunter Alliance, and as soon as the Blood Alert broke out, they followed the main force to the safety barrier.

Their current mission is to go into the city and destroy the burrows made by those giant-eyed rats!

In this way, the situation of the demon wolves constantly pouring into the city can be alleviated to a certain extent.

But Lu Ran’s goal is different from theirs.

The larger the number of people, the more disadvantageous it would be for Lu Ran to start a killing spree.

So, Lu Ran politely declined Xu Dahuang's invitation.

Seeing that Lu Ran had other ideas, and since everyone was working for the bloody Bo City, Xu Dahuang stopped trying to persuade him.

After watching the City Monster Hunting Team leave Anjie in a specially made off-road vehicle, Lu Ran walked in another direction.

There is the Silver Trade Building in Bo City!
On the spire of the Silver Trade Building, crouched a commander-level Winged Wolf!

Under the feet of the Winged Cang Wolf, there are the largest number of general-level Bone-Spurred Wolves, which are exactly the targets of Lu Ran's hunting!
It wasn't long since I came out to Anjie and I cleared out some of the one-eyed demon wolves.

Suddenly, Lu Ran, whose mental power had reached the second level, keenly sensed the aura of several mid-level magics.

Just a few hundred meters away was the path leading to the safety barrier of the Mu Family Villa.

There, there is a whole team of mid-level mages!

However, they are not hunting mages, nor military mages, but guest mages of the Mu family.

Mu Zhuoyun was also among them!
Right now, their situation is very bad!
Mu Zhuoyun and his companions were entangled by three general-level bone-thorn wolves, and were surrounded by hundreds of slave-level one-eyed demon wolves.

Under such heavy siege, even Mu Zhuoyun, who had the highest cultivation level and reached the third level of the intermediate ice element, felt extremely pressured!

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect to meet Mu Zhuoyun here.

In this direction, Mu Zhuoyun should have escaped from the Mu Family Villa.

The road to the safety barrier where the Mu family villa is located is extremely long!

Mu Zhuoyun has come this far, and he has played all his cards.

Suddenly, a huge golden light shield enveloped Mu Zhuoyun and the others.

Facing the bite of the demon wolf, this golden light shield only produced some cracks.

This light-attributed defensive magic tool is worth at least tens of millions of yuan. It can withstand the attacks of so many magic wolves and is very valuable.

"Master Mu, everyone, let's hold on a little longer, we'll almost reach the safety barrier!"

"Asshole! You still dare to hold back? Where are your magic tools? If you don't use them, we won't be able to reach the safety barrier!!" Mu Zhuoyun cursed at the guests around him.

It’s already this late, and you’re still hiding it!

Do they really have to wait until the Bone Spike Wolf's ferocious claws hit them before they are willing to use magic tools to save their lives?

"Master Mu, this is unfair! We really have no magic tools left. They were all damaged on the way to escape!" a guest official cried out in a shrill voice. As soon as the man finished speaking, the three-headed, bone-spiked wolf's sharp claws fell again.

Mu Zhuoyun's life-saving magic shield was broken! !
Seeing the situation was so serious, several defensive magic tools suddenly appeared in the palms of these guest officials.

Some are shield-shaped, and some look like plant cages.

However, the magic tools they had were of very low level, far inferior to Mu Zhuoyun's light shield, and could not withstand the swift attack of the general-level demon at all.

"Ahhhhh!!"

After only a few breaths, the miserable cries of the Mu family's guest official were heard! !

Mu Zhuoyun's face turned pale as he cursed these guest officials. Even at the last moment, they were still hiding their cards!

The current situation is extremely bad because his ice magic power is almost exhausted.

Before his death, Mu Zhuoyun couldn't understand why. When the blood disaster broke out, he had used special instruments to investigate on the way to the safety barrier, and found that the largest number of demons poured into the inscription area.

Logically speaking, the number of monsters in the inscription area is the largest, and the number of monsters in other areas will decrease.

To this end, he deliberately avoided the shortcut to the inscription area and took a detour with fewer monsters.

In the bloody city of Bo, even if it’s a long way to go, it’s fine as long as we don’t encounter any monsters!
But Mu Zhuoyun hadn't expected that the inscription area was first affected by Lu Ran's killing spree. The turbid blood and magical aura he released attracted a large number of demonic wolves.

The purpose, of course, is to kill all the demon wolves in one fell swoop!
But who could have imagined that such a large number of demon wolves were like meat on a fishing rod in front of Lu Ran, and could be slaughtered at will!
A demon wolf executioner appeared in the inscription area, and most of the demon wolves in the entire inscription area were cleared out by Lu Ran.

Simply put, due to Lu Ran's influence, Mu Zhuoyun deviated from his original escape route due to the butterfly effect.

If they had followed the original route, Mu Zhuoyun and his group would have reached the safety barrier long ago.

Under the bloody alert, the aura of several mid-level mages soon attracted the hunting of war general-level demons.

Just as they were about to reach the safety barrier, their team was attacked by three Warlord-level Bone-Spurred Wolves and over a hundred Servant-level One-Eyed Demon Wolves!
Just when Mu Zhuoyun thought he was going to die under the claws of the Bone Spike Wolf.

A sudden change occurred!

Lu Ran attacked, and several densely swirling streams of silk appeared around Mu Zhuoyun, helping him block the attack.

A ball of lightning quickly passed through the group of hundreds of demon wolves!

Not only that, he also forced his way out with Mu Zhuoyun, who was surrounded by the demonic wolves.

Wandering dragon!

As light as a startled swan, as graceful as a flying dragon!
Lu Ran is like a dragon among wolves!
There were hundreds of slave-level one-eyed demon wolves, but not a single one could swing its claws to stop Lu Ran.

The three bone-spurred wolves took the initiative to touch the water of the Styx, waving their claws while enduring severe pain.

Mu Zhuoyun felt someone grabbing him, and he suddenly opened his eyes in shock!

He was carried on Lu Ran's shoulders. The three bone-spurred wolves and hundreds of one-eyed demon wolves were quickly disappearing from his sight!
Lu Ran transformed into a shadow and brought Mu Zhuoyun to a tall building.

Glancing at Mu Zhuoyun, whose clothes were torn and covered in bloodstains, Lu Ran teased:
"Lao Deng, why are you so miserable?"

Mu Zhuoyun was stunned as he looked at Lu Ran in front of him. He said in disbelief, "You are Lu Ran? Shadow magic? You are a mid-level mage. You saved me?"

Lu Ran nodded and smiled: "For Ning Xue's sake, of course I have to save your life, my father-in-law."

"Ning Xue, what's your relationship with her? Do you know each other?" Mu Zhuoyun asked in confusion.

"Not only do I know her, I've even nibbled her little mouth."

Lu Ran complained in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

Otherwise, Mu Zhuoyun would not have died at the hands of the demon wolf, but would have been angered to death on the spot.
