Chapter 41: Nocturnal Demonic Beasts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Qi ignored Chen Lin’s smug expression. The most important thing now was to hurry up the mountain and search for the ore giant.

The sky had already turned dark so many demonic beasts would come out soon to hunt in the Terrifying Mountains. The nocturnal demonic beasts were usually more ferocious than the ones that hunt in the day!

Therefore, he did not want to waste time on Chen Lin. He turned around and merely said, “I don’t have time for you. If you don’t want to die, you’d better do as I do. This place is very dangerous at night!”

After Chen Lin heard that, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. He took a deep breath and said, “Hmph, I think you’re just afraid. But, whether you fight or not, I will definitely teach you a lesson today!”

Chen Lin raised the magic staff in his hand. His eyes were burning with flames like red lotuses as he shouted, “Elementary Flame!”

A wave of flames instantly flowed from the magic staff. Although the power was not overwhelming, if it was cast on a person, it would leave a fatal injury. It seemed that Chen Lin had the intention to kill.

When Lin Qi saw the flames shooting towards him, he did not panic. Instead, he calmly looked for a way to avoid it.

Then, a burst of water blocked the flames. Following that, steam rose up, causing Lin Qi’s brows to furrow.

“Huh?”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Yu Meng. At that moment, Yu Meng’s face was filled with anger. She said to Chen Lin, “Lin Qi is from our city. If you want to hurt him, you have to get past me first!”

Lin Qi was a little surprised and said in a low voice, “Oh, thank you!”

Yu Meng glared at him and said coldly, “If something happens to you, who will cook for us?”

Lin Qi sighed. It turned out that in her heart, he was just a chef who cooked good food. How was he any different from Jin Lingling in that case?

That being said, Yu Meng actually had no intention of saving Lin Qi earlier but her body began to move subconsciously. Even when she had moved, she had felt something inexplicable in her heart.

“Hmph, is that so? New Moon City’s Yu Meng of the Yu family. I heard that your family has been a family of first-class mages for generations. I want to see if you really are that strong!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lin continued to use his magic staff to generate flames and proceeded to shoot them at Lin Qi.

Yu Meng used water spells one after another to help Lin Qi block the attacks. As water magic consumed a lot of energy, she began to feel a little tired.

At that moment, Lin Qi seemed to hear some strange sounds that were slowly approaching. That startled him, and he immediately grabbed Yu Meng’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about him, follow me!”

Before Yu Meng could react, she was pulled to the top of the mountain, followed closely by Jin Lingling and Lewis.

When Chen Lin saw them run away, he laughed even more arrogantly. “Hahaha, running away when you can’t win? You really are a loser!”

His teammates next to him asked Chen Lin, “Aren’t you going to chase them?”

Chen Lin was very calm, and he shouted at Lin Qi who was running away, “Run faster, that way it’ll be more fun for me. Anyway, the Terrifying Mountains are only so-so. Mages of our level aren’t afraid of any four-star or five-star demonic beasts at all.”

Chen Lin’s ridicule made Yu Meng even angrier. She pushed Lin Qi aside and frowned at him. “Why are you running? It’s fine if you are looked down upon by others, but I don’t want that!”

Yu Meng’s expression was very firm. She bit her lips as if she was unwilling to accept that situation. Lewis, who was beside her, sneered, “If you run away, then you’re just a loser like what Chen Lin said!”

Lin Qi was unhappy when he heard that. He took a deep breath and said, “Then if you’re so awesome. Why don’t I see you do anything?”

Lewis kept silent, but it seemed that he was full of disdain for Lin Qi.

Jin Lingling pulled on Lin Qi’s sleeve and said, “Master, you ran away the second trouble arose. You do seem a little timid.”

Lin Qi felt exasperated and said to them, “Why don’t you guys take a look at the sky first!”

The three of them looked up at the sky. The sun had already set, and a crescent moon hung amongst the clouds. The bright moonlight shone on the Terrifying Mountains, making it look eerie.

“The Terrifying Mountains were formed by the waves from the Stormy Bay. You should know that the monstrous waves of the bay make it an extremely dangerous area. If you are not an archmage or above, you are simply going to die there.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

Lewis retorted. He thought that Lin Qi was just looking for an excuse for his cowardice.

However, what Lin Qi said next made them speechless.

“The gigantic waves from the Stormy Bay allowed the demonic beasts that originally lived in the ocean to come ashore. After several years of sedimentation, the demonic beasts that originally lived in the water gradually evolved into amphibious demonic beasts that can live on land and water.

“The Stormy Bay is pitch-black within the depths of its water, so most of those amphibious demonic beasts only appear at night. When Chen Lin and Yu Meng were fighting just now, the collision of fire and water produced a large amount of steam. Wasn’t that clearly exposing our position? You have to know that most of the demonic beasts that will appear now are not the average kind!”

After listening to Lin Qi’s explanation, the three of them fell silent.

Yu Meng was very curious. “Lin Qi, where did you learn about these things? I don’t even remember any books that were written in such detail!”

Lin Qi chuckled and poked his own head with his finger. He said, “Use your brain to think and you’ll know.”

“According to what you said, a large number of nocturnal demonic beasts will appear here at night. Then, we have no chance of hiding from them, right?” Lewis asked.

Lin Qi turned around and strolled toward the mountain peak. “Let’s continue walking. According to Chen Lin’s personality, his group will probably continue attacking other participants or demonic beasts!”

As long as Chen Lin and the others were fighting, those nocturnal demonic beasts would be attracted to them instead. That way, as long as we keep walking up the mountain, we would be able to get rid of those unnecessary troubles.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of explosions came from behind. One could tell that it was Chen Lin’s Flaming Hurricane spell. That spell has a very wide range. If Chen Lin was using it, then it would mean that he had encountered a difficult opponent.

“Did you hear that? If we were still fighting with Chen Lin just now, I reckon that we would have been stuck in a worse battle by now!”

Yu Meng and Lewis took a deep breath. They could not help but admire Lin Qi’s calm judgment.

“Let’s go, don’t stop. Maybe, when Chen Lin and the others come up, we might end up involved in that battle too.”

After Lin Qi said that, they continued to go to the top of the Terrifying Mountains. The higher they went, the safer it was.. It is said that as long as they reached a certain height, there would not be a single demonic beast in sight.
