Chapter 27 A Practical Deal Between Three Men
Outside the stadium, a man riding a colossal blue-green beast stood between its towering horns, his sharp eyes fixed on the entire massive stadium.
School leaders and members of the Hunter Alliance watched the gymnasium with tension.
"How is it? What did they say?" Academician Li asked hurriedly.
"One requires a special, substantial reward from the school, and the other requires the annual bonus from the city's monster-hunting team for 'eliminating a major threat,'" Lingling said with a dark expression.
Are these two guys obsessed with money?
"That's good." Academician Li breathed a sigh of relief.
He might have been a little worried about other students, but with these two, the Scaled Demon Mother was nothing to fear.
The main concern is that this bastard might resort to desperate measures, otherwise the girls who have been parasitized will be in mortal danger.
"Hmph! Sending two students to deal with the Scaled Demon Mother is just as bad as alerting her if they fail. I think we should find an entrance that the mother demon won't easily discover, then rush in and take her down in one fell swoop. When it comes to hunting demons, no one can beat us!" said the bald captain of the city's demon-hunting team.
He has been hunting demons for over ten years, and his team of demon hunters are all elites, capable of easily dealing with demons that invade the city.
"Hunter King, I also think it's a bit hasty to let two students do this," said a Hunter Master.
"Have you found the entrance yet?" Hunter King Du Xiao asked, standing atop the giant beast's head and looking down at them.
"no."
"Then shut your mouth!"
The two immediately shut up.
On the other side, Lu Jie and Mo Fan headed towards the third floor of the gymnasium, following Lingling's instructions. Zhao Manyan also came along.
The two of them naturally wouldn't let go of such free labor. What was Old Zhao for? To shield his brothers from harm!
His light magic was incredibly effective against the blue and yellow banshees, but he couldn't bring himself to use it on the other two. If he got carried away and unleashed a vicious attack, the girls' delicate bodies would be gone.
"Let's make this clear beforehand: you're after money, I'm after fame. After all, you know I come from the Zhao family, and reputation is still quite useful. Of course, if I encounter fatal danger, I'll still turn and run. I'll only do what I can, it doesn't mean I'm going to risk my life," Zhao Manyan said as he ran.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, you can rest assured. With Lao Lu around, these little vixens can't possibly drain you dry, can they?" Mo Fan said with a teasing look.
"Old Mo, your skin's been a bit tight lately, want me to loosen it up for you?" Lu Jie was quite impressed with Mo Fan's smooth talk.
"I was just kidding," Mo Fan said skillfully, then turned to Zhao Manyan and said, "Your aristocratic families are really troublesome. Reputation doesn't matter to me and Lao Lu. I've been infamous since that day, and Lao Lu isn't much better off. At most, he can clear our names."
"So you agree?" Zhao Manyan raised an eyebrow, then said generously, "Name your price."
Mo Fan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately produced a Winged Magic Tool: "One Winged Magic Tool."
"Bye-bye." Zhao Manyan stopped in his tracks.
"Thunder Spirit Seed." Mo Fan quickly corrected himself, realizing he couldn't let this labor force slip away.
"...Damn it, you bastard, you're really ruthless!" Zhao Manyan cursed, then looked at Lu Jie, "And you, Lao Lu?"
"Me? Help me find out if you have any light-type spirit seeds. Of course, if you have any for sale, you'll have to give me a discount," Lu Jie said.
"Damn it, they all treated me like a landlord and a rich man. I really made a bad choice in making friends!" Zhao Manyan said bitterly. Why did he ever choose to become brothers with these two guys?
"Deal!" Zhao Manyan said through gritted teeth.
Zhao Manyan was a shrewd strategist. After all, after the Beast Fighting Tournament, the Mu family, Bai family, and other powerful families had provided the new students with the necessary public resources. Given their prestige, he was sure to make a huge profit by using Thunder Spirit Seeds and Light Spirit Seeds.
"I never expected that your second element would be light, Lao Lu. We're really destined to meet," Zhao Manyan said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jie simply smiled and said nothing, while Mo Fan, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh, thinking that Lu Jie was just fooling people again.
"The entire third floor is now covered in red dots, and the three of you are still here discussing payment?!"
The two quickly took off their headsets; they could even imagine the other Lingling roaring—it was incredibly cute.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the third floor.
"Lingling, we've arrived," Lu Jie said in a deep voice.
"You must destroy the mother demon, otherwise you will be surrounded by a large group of green and yellow female demons, and then none of you will survive," Lingling said.
"If we have no way out, we still have a way to die," Lu Jie said with a lame joke.
"Die my foot! You lazy bum, don't die! You owe so many commissions, you'll never get out of Qingtian Hunting Grounds for the rest of your life!" Lingling said angrily.
"Old Mo, I'll leave that mother demon to you. Old Zhao and I will come help you once we've dealt with things here." Lu Jie patted Mo Fan on the shoulder.
Mo Fan nodded solemnly and said, "Don't come looking for my corpse later!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan ran out.
The moment Mo Fan left the third floor, all the rooms opened, revealing the presence of those green and yellow female demons.
"Old Zhao, can your kidneys handle it?" Lu Jie asked, a ball of light emanating from his hand.
"A man can't say he can't do it." Zhao Manyan tossed his long golden hair in a flamboyant manner, and then attacked together with Lu Jie.
The two were surrounded at opposite ends of the corridor. Zhao Manyan used defensive magic tools while casting light magic.
It must be said that light magic is quite effective against these blue-yellow banshees. Basically, one light spell is enough to take them down. Presumably, these blue-yellow banshees are creatures of darkness, otherwise why would they be so afraid of light magic?
On the other side, Lu Jie rubbed a halo around his hand, his whole body covered in a layer of golden light, preventing the green and yellow female demons from getting close.
He now looks like a golden statuette, all golden except for the golden halo.
This is all thanks to Lu Jie's continuous practice of the Golden Light Mantra. As he chanted the mantra, the light representing "righteousness" burst forth from his heart, and it also activated his light system.
Lu Jie had just dealt with a female demon, Qinghuang, and after shedding her skin, he discovered that the person who had been parasitized was actually Ai Tutu.
With a kick, Lu Jie sent a nearby green-yellow female demon flying. He then activated his Wood Release plant technique to envelop Ai Tutu and placed her in a relatively safe location.
After placing Ai Tutu in a safe place, Lu Jie turned around to deal with the remaining Qinghuang female demons.
These succubi won't last long against him and Zhao Manyan...
