Chapter Ten: First Encounter with the Magical Beast

  "Ah." Leng Xiao Yao opened his eyes, feeling a buzzing in his head. It seemed that the liquor of this realm was indeed potent. He recalled his drinking capacity from his previous life, although it wasn't exaggerated to the point of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, at least he could handle a hundred cups. Perhaps this body was too weak. It seemed that he needed to train himself, otherwise, when he went onto the battlefield, he wouldn't even have enough strength to save his own life.

  Leng Xiao Yao belonged to the type that would do what they said, seeing his nine companions still sleeping soundly around him, he got up and walked out of the tent. He felt a refreshing gust of air hit his nose, which was in stark contrast to the foul smell inside the tent. Leng Xiao Yao couldn't help but find it a bit amusing, wondering how he had been able to sleep in there last night.

  Long-distance running, Leng Xiao Yao started jogging around the military camp. Two hours later, Leng Xiao Yao felt his legs as heavy as lead, and his lungs were starting to ache slightly. He had no choice but to stop, knowing from his past experience that his body had reached its limit. If he continued to run, he might end up injuring himself.

  "Huff...huff..." Ling Xiao Yao stopped running and panted heavily, his clothes already drenched in sweat.

  "Hey little guy, you're up early! Didn't drink too much yesterday afternoon, did you?" Leng Xiao Yao had just walked to his own tent when he ran into Xing Zixuan who was coming out.

  "Still good, Brother Hang, didn't you guys practice early?"

  "Early training?" Xing Zixue was taken aback by the words, and the next moment, Xing Zixue laughed: "We are all old hands now, that new recruit stuff doesn't work on us. We usually start training in the afternoon, we train ourselves, and our training ground is at the back mountain."

  "Mount Hua?" Leng Xiao Yao was taken aback and asked: "What can be practiced on Mount Hua?"

  "Afternoon will take you to see just know." Xingzi smiled mysteriously and didn't speak.

  With a sense of puzzlement and coolness, they unknowingly arrived at noon. After eating lunch with the self-taught and others, the nine people brought their weapons into the mountains behind the military camp.

  A vast and endless forest, once inside the forest, a cool and refreshing feeling is felt as a chill wind blows across the face, from time to time there are also some small animals flashing by.

  "Carefree, don't underestimate this forest. We usually train on the outskirts, so you mustn't run deep into the forest. Otherwise, if you encounter a level three or higher magical beast, we'll have to collect your corpse."

  "A third-level demon beast?" Leng Xiao's face showed a look of surprise.

  "Are you kidding me? You don't even know the level of World of Warcraft?" A look of surprise appeared on Xiaoyao's face.

  Leng Xiao Yao smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, saying: "Alright, big brother, I really don't know."

  "Huncai, are you a citizen of our Tianlong Kingdom? You don't even know this much?" Several people who were self-studying nearby pretended to be about to faint.

  The tall and majestic Wang Liehuo patted the cold Xiao Yao's shoulder and laughed, saying: "Kid, let me tell you something! Otherwise, in the future, you'll go out and lose the reputation of our Invincible Ten-Man Team."

  After Wang Liehuo's explanation, Leng Xiao finally realized that this space had such strange things. According to Wang Liehuo, these demons were divided into many levels. First- to third-level demons could be handled by a general warrior, but if they encountered a demon above the third level, its combat power was not just one level higher. It wasn't as simple as 1+1=2. If a demon reached the seventh level, it could rival an intermediate Sword Saint. Demons that reached the eighth level or higher could speak human language, and those that reached the ninth level or higher could transform into human form. As for the next higher level, that was the existence of Holy Beasts. As for the strength of Holy Beasts, in short, if a Sword God encountered a Holy Beast, they would apologize and quickly retreat as far away as possible, otherwise, it would be certain death for the Sword God.

  "It's interesting, the magic of this monster is just like the Western magic on its own planet. I'll have to see it for myself if I get the chance." Cold Xiao thought to himself, but his mouth muttered: "I wonder what a fourth-level monster looks like, I'll have to see it if I get the chance."

  "Be careful, there's movement ahead. It's a big one." The vanguard, Xiao Zixuan, suddenly raised his hand, signaling the comrades behind him to scatter.

  A rustling sound came from ahead, and in the next moment, a massive object appeared before the eyes of the ten self-taught individuals.

  "I'm going to die, it's actually a Flame Beast!" The people who were learning with him saw the demon beast appear in front of them and each had an expression on their face as if they were saying "you jinxed us" as they glared coldly at Xiao Yao.

  "It's not my fault!"

  "Roar, roar, roar." A creature resembling a tiger from Earth, but three to four times larger in size, opened its bloody large mouth and let out a loud roar towards Han Qiu and the others.

  Xingzi studied calmly and said: "Yitian, Pengfei, Kaifu, you three are in charge of the left side, Liehuo, Zhang Taohua, you three are in charge of the right side, Weng Yang, Qin Hao, you two follow me to attract attention from the front, Xiao Yao, you retreat a bit further."

  "Yes, captain." Gao Yitian and the others responded in unison, and the eight of them dispersed according to their self-study instructions, slowly raising the weapons in their hands, assuming a posture that was ready to attack at any time.

  "Relax, go." Xianyou shouted loudly, then raised his hand with the weapon and shouted: "Up."

  The Huolie beast seemed to understand what Xingzi was saying, let out a loud roar, opened its huge mouth and shot out a flame that charged straight at the three of them.

  "Huh?" Leng Xiao Yao saw the Huo Lie beast suddenly spew out flames from its mouth, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. No wonder it was a magical beast, it actually knew how to use magic attacks! If those flames landed on him, he would be done for.

  Xingzi learned to see the flames rushing towards him, and in the midst of the attack, his body was forced to spin around on the ground, dodging the flame attack. At this moment, a wave of heat rose from the spot where Xingzi had just stood, and a patch of darkness appeared on the ground.

  "Everyone be careful, this Flame Beast has already reached level 4, be careful." Lin Xue judged from the temperature of the flames that the Flame Beast had just spat out earlier that it had already reached the standard of a level 4 magical beast.

  "Yes, Captain." The first-year students responded in unison, each of them emitting a thick aura of killing intent that shot up into the sky.

  "ROAR!!!!!!" The Fire Beast seemed to sense that the humans in front of it weren't so easy to mess with, panting and gasping for breath, with a defensive posture.

  "Bastard." He muttered a curse under his breath, then nodded at his companions to start taking action.

  "Drink, drink." A series of shouts rose up, and the weapons in the hands of Xue Zhi and others scattered out a series of sword energies towards the Fire Beast.

  "Is this what they call aura?" Cold Xiao Yao, who was watching from a distance, gazed at the aura emanating from Xue Feng and others' hands, with a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

  Alas, the destructive power of aura is great, but unfortunately, the attack is too monotonous. Is this space's martial arts really that bad? Leng Xiao gave Han Zixuan and others a silent evaluation, as he saw that their attacking methods seemed to be all about brute force, completely relying on aura comparison, without any technical content.

  "ROAR!!!!!" The Fire Beast seemed to have been enraged by the sudden attack from the self-taught people, and with a furious roar, its body suddenly expanded to twice its original size. It opened its bloody large mouth and spewed out a stream of unbearable heat that swept across the surroundings.

  "Flamethrower?!?" Leng Xiangyao couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene, and only now did he understand why his past self had reminded him to be careful not to venture too deep into the forest. If he were to encounter such a massive creature alone, he would surely end up dead, even if it was his past self in its peak state, it would still be a desperate fight for survival.

  "Ah!" A miserable cry rang out, and Leng Xiangyao looked over to see that Gao Yitian and Fei Tianshen's clothes had caught fire, with flames raging on their bodies as they rolled around frantically on the ground.

  "Roar." The Fire Beast seemed to understand the situation and gave up on the others, pouncing towards Gao Yi Tian's group of three. Its sharp claws gleamed in the air as it attacked, and no one would have suspected the power behind those sharp claws.

  "Kai Fu, you quickly bring a day with Peng Fei to retreat, the rest of us will follow me up to entangle this beast." The tone of self-study was filled with anxious color.

  "Yes, captain." Wang Liehuo and the others saw that their comrade was in trouble, so they abandoned their previous plan to use a human sea tactic to delay, and now it's truly a hard fight.

  Five blue rays of light and one red ray of light struck the Fire Beast, blasting it flying over ten meters away just as it was about to pounce on Zhang Kai and his three companions.

  "Five Great Warriors, one Swordsman, it seems that the military camp has a lot of capable people!" From afar, Leng Xiao Yao saw the six lights from earlier and immediately analyzed the current levels of Xue Feng and the others. (Note: The aura colors are as follows - Warrior: yellow, Great Warrior: blue, Swordsman: red, Great Swordsman: green, Sword Saint: white, Sword God: purple.)

  "Roar......" The fire beast's eyes, as large as lanterns, swept back and forth among the six self-taught individuals. A blood stain appeared on its lower abdomen, with fresh blood constantly flowing out. It seemed that one of the six attacks earlier had caused this injury.

  "Roar!" The Fire Beast let out another mighty roar and shot a huge flame in the direction where Xuefeng was standing.

  Although Xingzi had the strength of a primary peak swordsman, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could take on this flame. Seeing the ferocious flames approaching, he didn't even consider it and directly flashed towards a safe area nearby.

  "Huh?" Coldly, Leng Xiang saw Huo Lie Shou finish spitting out flames and, as if he had predicted it beforehand, suddenly turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest, disappearing from the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

  "Huuuuh...". After seeing the Fire Beast leave, everyone directly sat down on the ground, panting heavily. Although it was only a dozen minutes of fighting time, during those dozen minutes, they had endured great mental pressure. That magic beast just now had reached level 4, equivalent to an initial swordsmanship magic beast.

  Leng Xiangyao saw that the battlefield was safe at this moment, and then walked towards Hang Zixuan and others, saying: "Captain, are you all right?"

  "It's nothing." Having self-studied after all, his level was higher than others, so he naturally recovered faster. He stood up and walked towards the three people including Gao Yitian and Zhang Pengfei.

  "One day, Peng Fei, are you two okay?"

  "Captain, we're fine, just lost our clothes." Gao and Tian's faces showed embarrassment, but fortunately their faces were blackened by the big fire, so it was impossible to see their facial expressions at this moment.

  He looked around at his companions and saw that Gao Tianyi and Zhang Pengfei were not seriously injured, so he put down the burden in his heart and said, "Let's stop here for today! Let's go back."

  "Yes, Captain." The crowd responded in unison.

  You guys, when you read books, can't you leave a few recommendation tickets behind? Don't be so stingy! Hehe......
