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

Chapter 88: A head-on confrontation with a thousand mid-level players, is this also called a trap?

The location of the animal training cage was arranged by Mingzhu Academy in a remote back mountain at the edge of the Qing campus.

This back mountain is rarely visited by people, so generally speaking, even if it is destroyed, it will not have any major impact.

At this time, everyone was waiting for someone to appear.

"Where's Lu Ran? Has Lu Ran arrived? My people sent a message saying that the Shadow Monster has been taken away by him!"

"It should be here soon. Let's continue to hide. As agreed before, we should kill Lu Ran first, and then fight for the Shadow Monster!"

"Here he comes! Lu Ran is here! He's coming over with the shadow monster!"

"Hiss, Mu Nujiao is following Lu Ran, I can't bear to kill him!"

"It's already this hour, and you're still tempted by beauty?"

"."

After receiving the news, all the people hiding in the jungle looked towards the west.

Sure enough, only Lu Ran was leading the shadow monster and walking slowly up the mountain.

Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Ye Xinxia followed his instructions and kept a distance from Lu Ran.

"Sister Mu, are we really not going to go up and help? Can Lu Ran really do it alone?" Ai Tutu asked nervously.

Mu Nujiao pursed her lips. Although she really wanted to fight alongside Lu Ran, her strength was indeed far inferior to Lu Ran's.

She could still manage to deal with several mid-level mages at the same time.

But Lu Ran was facing hundreds of mid-level mages, and if he went over there aimlessly, he would only make things worse.

Ye Xinxia also comforted him and said:
"Brother Lu Ran must have his reasons for doing this, so we just listen."

"We just need to do our best and help Brother Lu Ran deal with some people on the periphery."

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu nodded after hearing this and wisely stopped in the corner.

Lu Ran looked around and swept his mental power. In an instant, he detected hundreds of people, all of whom were staring at him with murderous eyes, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

As the road up the mountain became narrower and narrower, the number of people around us also increased!

Dean Xiao and other senior university officials stood on a hilltop with a wide view, witnessing everything.

"Alas, this year's Mingzhu Academy is really dominated by Lu Ran alone!"

"Look, Lu Ran is walking alone on the mountain road, leading the Shadow Monster, and no one dares to snatch it away. They are all afraid of Lu Ran's strength! They are afraid of being the first to leave."

"Thousands of people are besieging one person, yet they still have to be so cautious. It's really sad!!"

But as more and more students gathered around Lu Ran, they discovered the blind spot.

You have to know that Lu Ran has an army of undead!
A warrior-level undead can single-handedly challenge an entire team of mid-level mages.

And for those half-baked intermediate-level warriors who have just stepped into the main campus, one War General Undead can probably beat dozens of them!
It’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any injuries late at night!

Some directors have already raised the issue of safety hazards.

Professor Shi was even more worried about Lu Ran. After all, he was a mid-level wizard. He said bluntly:

"Dean Xiao, there are nearly a thousand mid-level mages gathered near the back mountain. Many of them are already capable of casting mid-level magic. If a fight breaks out, even with the protection of the academy teachers, it will be difficult to take care of everyone!"

Dean Xiao shook his head helplessly.

The reason for this scene was naturally that Lu Ran's strength was too advanced and the impression he left on the students was too terrifying.

To the students of Mingzhu Academy, Lu Ran is the boss.

If we don't unite and kill him first, we will definitely not be able to snatch the shadow beast from his mouth.

A big melee is indeed inevitable.

"Lu Ran is approaching the ambush point, so let's activate the Si Ye Domination Array right away! The students' safety must be put first!" Dean Xiao said seriously.

Hearing Dean Xiao's words, all the directors breathed a sigh of relief. If so many mages were allowed to start a melee, there would undoubtedly be casualties!
The Si Ye ruling formation can suppress the elemental magic power of all the students in the back mountain, greatly reducing the death and injury rate.

Although it is ineffective against Lu Ran's black magic and undead magic, it can also suppress his lightning and water elemental magic.
Overall, it was the other students who made money.

"Hmm? The Siye Domination Array has been activated?"

Feeling the night light falling, the already dark back mountain became even more quiet.

Lu Ran had anticipated this. After all, the school would not sit idly by while thousands of people were fighting.

But what Lu Ran didn't expect was.

This Siye ruling formation is actually ineffective against him?!

Si Ye's rule can suppress the elemental magic system. Logically speaking, his thunder system and water system cannot circumvent the rules.

But, it is indeed ineffective.

Then, Lu Ran thought of a reason.

His own water element is fused with the undead element, and his thunder element is fused with the shadow element.

The Undead and Shadow elements are dark magic in themselves and will not be suppressed by Si Ye's ruling formation. On the contrary, they will be amplified to a certain extent.

As a fusion nebula, Lu Ran's own water and thunder elements are extremely special.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed the case.

Lu Ran curled his lips and said depressedly:

"Well, I have to hold back. If I kill someone by mistake, it will be unacceptable."

Lu Ran looked back and found that Mu Nujiao and others were also temporarily confused because of the restrictions imposed by Si Ye's ruling formation.

But the women were knowledgeable and quickly reacted.

Lu Ran made a gesture, indicating that they should stop worrying and leave the rest to him.

Mu Nujiao and Lu Ran had some tacit understanding and nodded immediately.

Lu Ran led the shadow beast for a distance, then shouted loudly into the jungle:

"Why are there so many people surrounding me? And they're hiding something?"

There was a commotion all around.

"Could it be that Lu Ran already knows our plan?"

"Nonsense, a tall tree attracts the wind. With so many of us, someone will definitely leak the news. Now it depends on who will be the first to attack Lu Ran!"

"That's right. There has to be someone unlucky enough to be the first to offend Lu Ran. As long as it's not from our team, it's fine."

"Humph, even if we don't take action, we have to put some pressure on him and surround him first!"

In an instant, countless people came out from all directions and surrounded Lu Ran.

But the strange thing is that no one launched a direct attack!
Seeing this, Lu Ran felt helpless and decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Why? The contents of the Shadow Monster's stomach were obtained by me in Bo City, and no one else expected it?"

Lu Ran said this deliberately. He had previously asked Ai Tutu to release the news on his behalf, hoping to lure the Black Church's lackeys into the trap.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, some people in the crowd could no longer sit still.

As if instructed by someone, a mid-level fire mage released a fiery punch directly towards Lu Ran.

But due to the suppression of Si Ye's rule, this fierce punch was at best a larger burst of fire.

Lu Ran didn't even need to use magic. He just turned his body and easily dodged this intermediate-level fire magic.

This left everyone stunned.
