Chapter 2: First Battle and Surprise
As night falls, the demons hiding in the city begin to look for food, and the hunters also begin to look for demons. However, who can tell the difference between hunters and prey?
In the suburbs of the Magic City, in a resettlement community, two figures, one big and one small, strolled in the community.
"It feels a little wrong." Lingling, who was holding Bai Hua's hand and looking for demons everywhere, suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Bai Hua was a little surprised. Could it be that Lingling has already found the demon? Although Lingling is only a junior high school student now, she can be called a bug in the full-time magician novel, with an IQ ceiling. She has been performing hunter tasks with her father since she was a child, and even became a seven-star hunter master. You should know that she was only in junior high school when she appeared in the original work, and her father had been killed by the Red Devil.
In response, Bai Hua reported someone under his real name that someone was exploiting child labor.
But that was the description of the original work. Now Lingling, who grew up with him since childhood, has also been taken on several tasks by her father, but it is not as exaggerated as the original work. Of course, Lingling's experience in fighting demons should still be richer than his.
"No one." Lingling said only two words, and Baihua also reacted. Even if most of the residents in this resettlement community have moved away, there should be many people, but now they have not encountered anyone, and there is no light in the residential building.
Even if there are sporadic demons, people will stay at home at most at night. Now there is no one. The biggest possibility is that groups of demons have appeared and the residents have been evacuated in advance.
Rustling, Baihua, who was alert, heard a strange sound and immediately released magic.
"Plant Summon-Pea Shooter." A green hair dryer... No, the Pea Shooter appeared in front of the two, and a pea the size of a football shot to the place where the sound was just made.
Although most of the consumption of launching an attack comes from the magic energy drawn from the land by the Pea Shooter, Baihua's own magic energy has also been extracted a little bit.
Squeak, a mouse with a body length of one foot and a tail of two feet rushed out. "Long-tailed gray rat, trouble." Lingling recognized the mouse at once.
Rats are the most likely demons to appear in the city. As the lowest level of demons, most of them are not dangerous, but long-tailed gray rats are an exception, because they always appear in groups. Although monarchs and emperors are the biggest threats to humans, the real cause of the greatest casualties to humans is always the endless number of slave-level demons.
Squeak! A dozen long-tailed gray rats rushed out, and Bai Hua subconsciously pulled Lingling behind him, quickly summoned four more pea shooters, and summoned the second plant, the nut wall.
The nut, more than one meter high and more than half a meter wide, stood in the middle of the road, but the gap on the side could be passed by a truck, not to mention a few rats. However, the rats had no intention of taking a detour. They surrounded the nut wall and scratched and bit it, completely ignoring the two people more than ten meters away and the crazy output of the pea shooter.
The nut wall has a similar ability to mind magic, which can taunt monsters. The generals with low bloodline will also be affected. Moreover, the skin is thick and the generals can resist the attack for a while. This is one of the reasons why Bai Hua dares to bring Lingling out. After all, she is his own loli, and he must not be hurt.
The pea shooter is also outputing crazily. Although it looks strange, the power of a pea is comparable to the second-level fire and bone burning. Five pea shooters are completely comparable to a fire mage team, and even better in output frequency.
Although the long-tailed gray rat is a dangerous monster, it is only because of its strong reproduction ability that it is a very rare monster that may appear in groups in the city. Its combat power is the bottom among the slaves. After being taunted by the nut wall, they can't even dodge or defend. One pea can cause them to suffer serious injuries. Even if two peas don't die, they basically have no combat power.
After two rounds of pea attacks, four long-tailed gray rats have died or lost their combat effectiveness, while the nut wall has just been wounded. After estimating his remaining magic power, Baihua replenished two sunflowers and two pea shooters.
The cost of a single summon is not high, but there is something like a skill cooldown. The cost of continuous summons will increase. The second one consumes twice, the third one consumes three times, and so on. After a period of time, the initial cost will be restored. Otherwise, with his phobia of insufficient firepower and the personality of a senior believer in the multi-turret cult, he will first use twenty pea shooters.
"Corporal Pea, hit me hard." As a summoner in the skin of a plant mage, after the formation is completed, he can only watch the show and play with Lolita from the sidelines, and encourage verbally.
"Don't touch my head all the time!" Lingling slapped the hand that was making trouble on her head with dissatisfaction, and then took out a small notebook and began to record something. "It seems that they have been hiding here for a while, and the number is probably not too small. After solving these, notify the city monster hunting team."
Squeak, squeak, squeak! The battle was about to end, but another 20 or 30 long-tailed gray rats appeared and pounced on the nut wall.
"Is the taunting range so large?" Bai Hua was a little surprised. Long-tailed gray rats are very timid. Under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to attack the mage, and only dare to bully ordinary people. Bai Hua had already released his mid-level cultivation aura. Logically, such a timid slave should retreat.
Fortunately, there are buildings on both sides of them, and behind them is the road they just came from. They only need to block the front. If they are attacked from all sides, he can't defend now, and can only run away with Lingling.
After adding two nut walls to strengthen the defense line and three pea shooters for output, Bai Hua focused his attention on the rear to avoid being attacked from behind, and prepared for a tactical retreat.
There are more than forty demons, and ordinary mid-level mages have to avoid the edge for a while. The appearance of this number of demons in Anjie is completely a huge dereliction of duty by the city's demon hunting team.
The two of them moved back a little, but Bai Hua, who lacked combat experience, forgot that even if there was a building as a bunker, it was not absolutely safe. Lingling's attention was still focused on the frontal battlefield, and in the side corridor, there was actually a The advanced long-tailed black rat (evolved type of long-tailed gray squirrel) was not attracted by the previous battle, but kept hiding in the dark. As the two gradually approached, it also took advantage of the cover of the night to do its best. Preparation for a sneak attack.
"Not good!" When the long-tailed black rat was discovered, it had already rushed to a place less than one meter away from the two people. The nearly one-meter-long big rat pounced on Lingling, facing the demon at close range for the first time. Bai Hua My mind went blank and I made a wrong decision. He directly blocked Lingling with his body, and the sharp claws scratched his shoulders. If he were not wearing armored magic equipment, even he would have been seriously injured even if he was an intermediate mage. However, the defense ability of unactivated magic equipment was limited, and he felt that his shoulders Almost broke.
"Are you an idiot?" Lingling scolded with a cry. As early as the moment she discovered the long-tailed black rat, Lingling activated the shield magic tool, just waiting for the long-tailed black rat to hit her head all over. As a result, Bai Hua But he blocked him with his body and didn't even activate the magic equipment.
With one attack, the long-tailed black rat attacked again, its tail whipping like a whip. But this time Bai Hua's mind returned to normal. He activated the magic walking tool and took Lingling to distance himself, and two pea shooters were released instantly. .
Biu, biu, two peas hit the long-tailed black rat. The damage was equivalent to the second level of fire. The damage to the advanced demon should not be underestimated. However, in the second round, the peas were shot out and were hit by the long-tailed black rat. The tail whip broke one in advance and dodged one.
He summoned a wall of nuts to taunt the long-tailed black rat, and then summoned two pea shooters to suppress the fire. "Something's wrong. Is it so difficult to deal with in the advanced stage?" Although Bai Hua was fighting a demon for the first time, he was sure of this. The fighting ability and intelligence of a long-tailed black rat are beyond normal. More than half of his magic energy has been consumed, and it is still unknown how many rats there are here, so it is not cost-effective to fight them.
Lingling had the same idea, "You're injured. There's no need to fight with it. Since the people have been evacuated in advance, the city's demon hunting team will definitely come tonight. Just leave it to them. Also, let me down." She He was being held by Bai Hua with one hand, and in order to maintain balance, he was forced to hug Bai Hua's neck with a blushing face.
"Help!" Suddenly, a girl's cry for help came from a nearby residential building.
