Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

Similar examples can be found everywhere. Lu Jun had long since given up his fantasies. He had been ready for battle at all times since he began traveling through time. He built high walls, stored up food supplies, and slowly became king!

Chapter 19 Monster Hunting

While Lu Jun was lost in thought, Lu Mei was already negotiating. She said, "I am a mid-level mage and will not go too far into the demon zone."

Zhan Kong sneered and said, "A mid-level mage, mastering the ability of a thought star track? Unless you are at a high level, you will always be vulnerable alone. And what's wrong with the boy next to you? He looks like a high school student."

Hearing this, Lu Mei felt discouraged and helpless. She didn't expect the new Military Control Commissioner to be so responsible, nor did she expect that the difficulty in hunting the monster would be stuck at the first step of leaving the city.

And she suddenly realized that what Zhan Kong said seemed to make some sense. Her brother's maturity and hard work in the past made her subconsciously forget that he was still a seventeen-year-old boy.

To be honest, Lu Mei felt a little regretful, but when she looked at Lu Jun, she saw the determination in his eyes, and her heart softened. She felt that she could not let her brother down because of her own unwillingness.

Whether it was the fighting work of hunting monsters in the city or the improvement of his cultivation, he had become a reliable mage.

Just when she wanted to argue with Zhan Kong.

“Forget it.” Unexpectedly, Zhan Kong suddenly gave up. The officer said in a deep voice: “I don’t want to bother with you. You are all adults. Make your own decisions and bear the consequences yourself.”

Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would be a Muggle if he couldn't get out, and his ambitions would become empty talk.

As he followed his sister out of the city, he thought that Zhan Kong was a man of great justice, decisive in killing, and trustworthy. He could be allied with him before the disaster in Bo City in two years.

At this moment, Zhan Kong was looking at Lu Jun's back from afar with a smile on his face. The magical aura of this young man was even stronger than that of some veteran soldiers. His cultivation should be very high. It was quite interesting.

Another officer walked in with an elegant face. Instructor Bai smiled and said, "What's wrong, Boss? Is there anything worth noting about these two people? Do you need to send someone to follow them?"

"nothing."

Zhan Kong stopped without saying anything more, and waited until the genius came back alive to talk about it.

……

On the other side, Lu Jun and his sister walked into the hilly forest and gradually came to the preset location according to the map route, which was a marginal area that had been cleaned many times.

The Nanling Mountains are very large, spanning several provinces. When the hunter teams in Bo City dispersed, they disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean, each looking for their own targets.

Lu Jun walked on tree branches and fallen leaves along the shady forest. The howling of wolves came from all directions, making the two men tense. Due to their lack of experience, they could not judge how many magic wolves and monsters there were, where they were, and whether they were exposed.

"Don't worry too much. This area has been cleansed many times by military mages and hunters. I guess there are many overlapping forests and there are heavy sounds. The actual number is not large."

The forest was dark and dense, with no sunlight shining through. Lu Mei was a little nervous. She had no experience and this was her first time hunting monsters.

"How about blessing Shang Shui Yu first? Brush a buff shield before going to the next dungeon."

Seeing this, Lu Jun sighed, thought for a moment, then controlled Xingzi and released water magic. The light blue water vapor gathered to form two water windbreakers that were draped over the brother and sister.

This way you can react even if you are attacked.

Normally, a wizard has limited magic power, so he should try to save it when he is outside. For example, the duration of the second-level water defense is not permanent. If it protects 24 hours a day, no amount of magic power will be enough.

But their situation is different. They just go out early and come back late to accumulate experience. At worst, they can return to the city before their magic power is exhausted.

Just as Lu Jun cast his magic, the magic fluctuations spread out and were noticed by the surrounding demon wolves and monsters. The environment suddenly became quiet, and the silence was filled with a sense of oppression.

Lu Jun's face was calm. He did it on purpose in order to attract the demons and put the enemy out in the open for easier handling.

Awww...

Not long after, the silence was broken. Waves of low wolf howls came from the dense forest, getting closer and closer. In the distance, tree branches shook. Tall black figures walked out, blocking the front, back, left and right of the two siblings, and a fishy and evil aura emanated.

They were creatures with strong lower limbs, and looked somewhat similar to wolves. The one-eyed men stood up, and they were three meters tall, and their imposing manner was much stronger than that of the giant-eyed gorilla rats.

Lu Jun looked over, feeling neither moved nor frightened at all. He had to compare the one-eyed wolf to a western gnoll, except that it was taller and stronger, and its combat power was at the standard servant level.

There were seven or eight of them in total. If a group of more than a dozen beginner mage hunters encountered them, several people would die if they tried to solve the problem.

But the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief. There were only seven or eight servant monsters. One mid-level magic would seriously injure each of them. It was worthy of being a cleaned area, there were not many powerful monsters.

When Lu Mei saw the one-eyed demon wolf coming, she controlled Xingzi and cast the third-level elementary magic [Wind Track·Floating Shadow].

Buzz!

Soon, light green winds and azure blue waters surrounded Lu Jun, and he felt the familiar floating feeling again. He controlled the gold star, a platinum light flashed, and he summoned magic tools, holding the black heavy sword in both hands.

The unique sharpness and murderousness of the gold element burst out, and his blood gradually boiled, and he was ready to move. With half a year's experience in hunting monsters, he became more familiar with killing.

hoohoo!

Seven or eight one-eyed demon wolves growled and advanced step by step, their footsteps making crunching sounds on the branches, adopting a siege and intimidation tactic.

Lu Jun didn't care about anything and rushed forward on the wind track. The already terrifying heavy sword in his hand expanded, and the second level of the gold element's initial stage [Size] was activated!

After a while, the heavy sword in his hand was magnified three times, and the nearly four-meter-long sword was raised up, two stories high, and the blade was thirty centimeters wide. He danced with it vigorously, which made anyone who watched it terrified.

The most important thing is that the weight of the sword will also increase for the enemy, as heavy as a thousand pounds, but for Lu Jun it is still the same as it was in its original state, so even though it is very heavy, he can still use it as easily as using his own arm.

Rumble!

At this moment, Lu Jun was blessed with wind speed, and he swept the heavy sword, leaving an afterimage, as if he had turned into a large blue-green gyroscope with a diameter of eight meters, spinning madly. The strong wind was so fierce that it stung the skin, and the sand was rolled up, gravel was splashed, and the land continued to shake, leaving deep marks wherever it passed.

In the distance, Lu Mei had already retreated tacitly the moment the fight started. This was how she and her brother had cooperated for the past six months. One attacked to attract attention while the other safely released intermediate-level magic in the rear.

But she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene. Ever since Lu Jun was promoted to the initial level of gold system, he has not yet displayed his power. This kind of power has touched the threshold of intermediate magic, right?

Although it is assisted by wind magic and is much weaker when cast alone, it is extraordinary in itself.

When Lu Jun was in this state, the seven or eight one-eyed demon wolves nearby could not even get close to him, let alone hurt him. They retreated one after another. The demons were well aware of the powerful force contained in the sword wind.

Phew! Phew!

Unfortunately, Lu Jun was extremely fast and he moved to the center of the wolf pack in a few seconds. When he was swept by the four-meter heavy sword, he would often break limbs or become disabled. In serious cases, his entire body would be thrown in half and killed on the spot.

Chapter 20 Killing

In the dense forest, Lu Jun broke out of the encirclement with a few strokes of the hammer and smashed the magic wolf formation into pieces.

As soon as the pressure in front of him was relieved, he stopped his random sweeping movements, stuck the sword in place, took a deep breath, and panted heavily. Although the weight of the magic tool was unchanged for him, he couldn't do many sword strikes with the physical fitness of an ordinary person.

When Lu Jun looked back, he saw corpses strewn all over the ground behind him. A dead demon wolf had its body cut in half and blood was gushing out.

Another three were seriously injured, missing limbs, and the rest had more or less scars. The place was like a slaughterhouse, bloody, with limbs lying in pools of blood and a strong smell of blood.

Seeing this, Lu Jun himself was shocked. Although it consumed more magic power to become three times larger, and the gold stardust consumed half of its energy in just a short while, the damage it brought was extremely considerable.

He remembered that if he wanted to use a basic magic to kill a slave-level demon, he needed to practice it to the third level, and he also needed a top-quality spirit seed.

Ouch ow ow...

Just as he was stunned for a moment, the remaining one-eyed demon wolves around him howled wildly, as if the smell of blood had stimulated their ferocity. Each of them was covered with a layer of blood-ink, and their momentum increased greatly.

The nearest demon wolf pounced directly at him, like a bulldozer, and its high-speed movement had an impact force no less than that of a van.

Whoosh!

Lu Jun stepped on the wind track and dodged calmly at the critical moment, moving around in the wolf pack, and occasionally swinging the gold magic tool with his backhand to chop. At this time, the Zhenjin heavy sword in his hand had already returned to normal, and its killing power was still strong, easily leaving scars deep enough to see the bone, and occasionally even causing disability.

After all, the second level size is an explosive means, so save some mana after a wave.

After fighting for a few minutes, Lu Jun made occasional mistakes and his bright blue windbreaker became dim. Fortunately, his Shui Yu defense was strong and he managed to withstand a few claws and survive.

Finally, only three demon wolves were left. The demons were finally frightened and tried to flee separately, but he caught up with them on the wind track and hacked them to death one by one. The corpses left a trail of blood on the ground in the dense forest.

After finishing, Lu Jun looked at the tragic battlefield with a face full of disbelief. He had actually killed seven demon wolves by himself. Apart from the blue water stardust and some magic energy left in his mind, the gold stardust was already exhausted.

His elder sister Lu Mei came over with a look of shock. She had wanted to help her brother in the fight just now, but when she saw Lu Jun, a god from heaven, fighting seven people alone, she felt that there was no need to interfere and it would be better to use the opportunity to test her brother's fighting ability.

So she used the intermediate wind magic [Wind Disk] to calm the situation and rescue people at any time.

However, until the end of the battle, Lu Mei did not need to make any moves. She could not help but say, "The power of the gold system is very strong. It seems that I underestimated you. The efficiency of the two of us in hunting monsters is comparable to that of a monster hunting group."

In fact, this is a restraint relationship in Beast Battle Chess. The gold system is always effective against enemies like the magic wolf who have only one means and can only fight in close combat, but it will be restricted when facing the human mage group with a wide variety of magic.

On the contrary, what the monster hunting team fears most is a group of thick-skinned monsters charging into the formation. Without decisive killing power, they will most likely be in a panic.

After this battle, Lu Jun also built up enough confidence. From hunting monsters in the city to the wilderness, his temperament became more and more fierce, and his sword was sharpened by grinding.

The jet-black heavy sword in his hand was stained with dark blood, becoming sharper and closer to the third level of the gold system.

In addition, Lu Jun looked at the corpses all over the ground, and seven faint light spots rose up and gathered in the white tiger pendant on his neck. Disappointingly, they were all residual souls, worth about 10,000 yuan.

The probability of one percent of the spirit is uncertain.

Lu Jun couldn't be relied upon, so he could only kill more demons and combine hundreds of residual souls into a spirit.

"Hurry up and collect the strange blood and strange bones, lest the smell of blood attract more demons."

Lu Mei called her brother and went forward to cut up the body.

After a busy period, the things they collected, including the residual soul in the white tiger pendant, were worth less than 200,000. Without the residual soul, it was only worth a few hundred thousand.

Don’t underestimate the number of resources. This is a life-threatening thing. Compared to the millions or tens of millions of resources available to mid-level players, it is far from enough.

This is still shared by two people. If it is a monster hunting group, it would be a loss-making action. However, they would not be as reckless as Lu Jun. Instead, they would set up ambush points and arrange traps in advance to kill the monsters in the easiest way.

He looked at the sky, which was gradually getting darker, and sighed, "It's getting late. My gold magic power is exhausted. I'd better go back first."

Hearing this, Lu Mei nodded. Although she did not move, as a mid-level mage she still had some strength to spare, she was not greedy and said, "Let's go back now."

The brother and sister carried large and small bags on their backs and walked all the way back. Soon they saw two big mountains in the distance, and even the narrow city of Thin Sky in the center. The military mages were all there. They breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed their tense bodies, and stepped into the snow mountain outpost.

At this time, Zhan Kong happened to be on patrol. Seeing Lu Jun and the other man's great harvest, he asked in surprise: "Huh? You are still alive?"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Jun was speechless and said unhappily, "You wish we would die?"

“That’s not the case.” Zhan Kong stroked his chin, looked at the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, and suddenly invited him, “How about you graduate from high school and not go to the academy? Why don’t you come and work with me?”

"Give me two years, and I promise to train you into a master. At the age of 20, you will be a military commander guarding a place. It's simple."

Seeing this, Lu Jun knew that Zhan Kong was not bragging. Not to mention the relationship with his ancestral family, he himself was valued by Chief Hua, one of the people with the highest cultivation and status in Jiuzhou.

So he thought that one more person would mean one more way, so he didn't refuse on the spot. He just waved his hand and said, "Let's wait and see. I'm still a long way from graduation."

Zhan Kong smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm always open to you."

In reality, Zhan Kong was shouting in his heart that he had found a treasure. Going out of the city to hunt monsters at the age of sixteen was nothing short of amazing. Even the chosen ones from the top universities in the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital didn’t have the courage and experience to do so during their freshman year, let alone high school.

Sometimes it's not just the skill level that counts when judging a mage. If a mage panics during a fight, a high-level mage can be easily killed by a low-level mage.

After bidding farewell to Zhan Kong, Lu Mei asked as they walked away, "Are you planning to join the military in the future?"

She didn't say anything just now so as not to affect the important person's feelings. Now she asked about Lu Jun's plan. She knew that her brother was very opinionated.

"I prefer to go to university, where I can have more freedom."

Lu Jun said frankly that after a year of training and tempering, his confidence has increased, and he is familiar with the plot of the original novel. He has clear plans and goals for the future. He wants to compete for the highest hall of magic!

Then he paused and added in a low voice: "Besides, if I go to join the army, what will you do, sister?"

After the words fell, Lu Mei was relieved at first, and then she pursed her lips when she heard this. She had to admit that she felt a little sweet inside, but she snorted softly: "Forget it, without you as a burden, I am more free and easy."

The brother and sister went their separate ways after returning to the city. Lu Mei went to the Hunter Alliance to deal with the monsters' things, while Lu Jun went home to meditate and restore his magic power.

Chapter 21 The Wonderful Use of Magic

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

The brother and sister went out early and came back late to hunt monsters in the wilderness. However, except for a successful start on the first day, they encountered a group of wandering monsters in the following days.

I only made over 200,000 in seven days. With two months of summer vacation, wouldn't that be a million at most? I couldn't even raise enough money to rent the Nebula Magic Device for the remaining two years of hunting monsters.

Lu Jun felt that he couldn't go on like this and needed to be more radical and adventurous.

In the living room, Lu Mei frowned and asked, "Do you want to go deep into the Nanling wilderness?"

"That's right." He nodded and said, "Accumulating funds this way is too slow. We have to take the initiative. And you saw that I can handle seven or eight magic wolves by myself without any problem. You haven't even used your intermediate magic yet."

"We can definitely kill a nest of demon wolves together. There are only 50 standard slaves, plus some old, weak and sick ones."

"This is such a crazy idea." Lu Mei fell into deep thought. Her second element [Earth] was stuck at the third level of the elementary stage. She urgently needed to rent a Nebula Magic Tool for a long period of time to break through the barrier.

She was confident of the killings she had carried out these days, so she said simply, "Okay, let's go deep into the wilderness, but to hunt a pack of demon wolves in one den, we need to stay in the wilderness for a few days to prepare."

The brother and sister were very active. Early in the morning, as soon as it was light, they packed their belongings for camping and left the city from the Xuefeng Mountain outpost.

Over the past seven days, Lu Jun has become familiar with Zhan Kong and obtained a more precise map of the distribution of monsters from the military, which is countless times better than any monster hunting team on the market.
