Most magicians probably can't control the stars to release magic when they see the monsters, and the star tracks are repeatedly disconnected. Only masters in the small town can cast spells calmly.
However, Lu Jun needs to go a step further and cultivate his mentality to be as steady as a rock.
Under the winter sunset, one sibling releases magic while the other practices adaptation. Passersby watch curiously and the scene freezes.
Chapter 9 Urban Demon Hunting Team
In a blink of an eye, a month of winter vacation has passed.
Although it is in the south, the dense forests in the park are as bare as those in the north, which makes it look a bit bleak.
"Master Magician... Hey, many people have complained about this park, and we can't do anything about it. Why don't you go to another venue to train? I have a special venue here."
A middle-aged man in police uniform bowed and said on the grass.
"It's okay." Lu Mei expressed her understanding and smiled, "We have finished the training."
"Ahahaha, fine, fine, I won't bother you anymore."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Lu Mei looked at Lu Jun, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. His whole body was dirty and his skin was covered with bruises.
She felt both distressed and relieved. Her brother's progress this month was amazing.
He had fully adapted to the abruptness of Wind Track and Flash Step and the ghostliness of Floating Shadow, and had even reached the point of hitting fallen leaves with a wooden stick.
In fact, with the wizard's reaction speed, as long as you get used to magic and keep calm, you can adapt quickly.
But her brother's efforts were also indispensable. He basically drained all the magic power of her wind nebula every day.
This made her wind system improve significantly, and she mastered the basic magic wind track to perfection.
Lu Jun struggled to get up, took out the ointment, and asked, "Is the urban management here? Is it a big problem?"
"Yes, don't move, I'll do it."
Lu Mei suddenly stopped his actions, bent down and half-knelt in front of him, and domineeringly hugged her brother into her arms. She took the ointment with her slender hands, smeared it with her jade fingers, and gently wiped his bruises.
This time, Lu Jun was caught off guard and fell into a warm embrace. He smelled the delicate body fragrance and felt the soft heat on his face. He raised his head slightly and saw the gentle look on Lu Mei's pretty face.
The accumulated fatigue over the past six months surged up, and he was half asleep and half awake with his eyes slightly closed. His heart was pounding, yet he felt extremely at ease.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Lu Mei finished applying the ointment. She didn't say anything to wake her brother up, but just held him in her arms.
She lowered her eyes quietly. She knew that Mr. Lu was hiding many things, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. This was the only way she could express her comfort.
After a moment, the communicator in Lu Mei's pocket suddenly flashed, and she frowned and opened it.
Lu Jun woke up and struggled to get up, asking, "What's wrong?"
"It's open." My sister looked it up and raised her eyebrows slightly. "It's about the City Monster Hunting Team. Here's your internship opportunity."
Hearing this, Lu Jun's heart burned with passion and he was in high spirits. What had he practiced so hard for for so long? Was it not to slay demons and monsters?
This time, the Wind Swordsman makes his debut!
Lu Mei said calmly, "When the time comes, you will follow my instructions. Prepare the gold-type castings in advance. Tell everyone you meet that it is the demon-slaying tool I configured for you. With their knowledge, they will not be able to tell that it is a new magic-type."
The gold system has this advantage, it is easier to disguise as a magic tool, unlike Mo Fan, when the Thunder Seal comes out everyone knows that he is a natural dual-system, and it is only when he awakens the shadow system at the middle stage that he can conceal it a little, but it cannot last long.
Secondly, gold magic can be summoned in advance, so there is no need to hastily control the stars after close combat. However, the only disadvantage is that it is not durable enough. With Lu Jun's first-level stardust magic power, it is probably enough to release for ten minutes.
Lu Jun usually trains by swinging with a wooden sword.
The two did not stop for long. If the city monster hunting team was a step late, the citizens would be in potential danger. Lu Mei used the wind track to speed up her journey, shuttling through the streets and alleys, attracting countless people's attention.
Lu Jun is in good condition, and his magic power in both systems is almost full. Some scratches and bruises are not serious. The water magician moisturizes the skin, so no matter how injured he is, he will not leave calluses or scars, so he can participate.
In a minute or two, they arrived at the scene, a relatively remote commercial street with average traffic. However, people often reported that the sewers in this place made strange gnawing sounds, accompanied by a foul smell.
The police came several times but could not find the cause. Seeing that there was no danger, they ignored it. Until not long ago, seven or eight stray dogs died in a nearby alley, bloody and eaten. Passers-by discovered them and called the police.
The police hurriedly handed it over to the City Monster Hunting Team.
"The sewers were most likely filled with giant-eyed rats. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and no one was harmed."
Lu Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She had just explained everything to her brother while she was on her way.
Before the two could take action, the other three members of the City Monster Hunting Team arrived, one male and two females.
The man had an honest face and looked down-to-earth and reliable. One of the two women was short with a round face and pretty features, while the other was tall and beautiful with a fiery temperament and dyed red hair.
"You've come just in time. This is my younger brother, a water magician who has mastered the initial stage of water control."
Seeing the team members coming, Lu Mei greeted them and introduced them one by one: "This male mage is Xu Yan, a beginner earth mage. The round-faced one is Mu Yuan, a junior ice mage from the Mu family in Bocheng. The tall one is Li Xia, a junior fire mage, responsible for the team's damage output."
Lu Jun glanced at the three people and identified them one by one. He muttered to himself that he had no impression of them and it was probably not the team that Mo Fan joined a year and a half later.
Moreover, he couldn't remember the names of the people in Mo Fan's city monster hunting team. They were all extras.
This is understandable. A city with a population of one million cannot be managed by just a few beginner mages. There is a team in each block.
The three of them had no objection to his sudden joining. Just kidding, his sister is a mid-level magician and is considered a top figure in the entire Bo city.
The city monster hunting team has reached its peak at the initial stage. A mid-level mage will not stay in a mere city monster hunting team. He can just go to a big city and work part-time, and earn more money in a month than in a year.
If all else fails, you can transfer to a wild monster hunting group and your strength will increase rapidly.
Lu Mei is stuck in this position. The resources in small cities are not rich enough, and they are all occupied. They cannot support more mages, and will most likely have to go to big cities to develop.
The sister is so outstanding, but this is probably the reason why Lu Jun, the original author, did not see a similar name. After all, novels cannot reflect the real world.
Moreover, according to his understanding, his parents seemed to have some relationship with the Lu family, one of the four major families in Magic City.
Li Xia walked towards Lu Jun in a cat-like manner and said in an exaggerated tone: "Captain Lu, this is your brother, a sixteen-year-old little brother. I am OK with him."
After hearing this, Lu Mei became alert and separated the two of them, warning them: "Don't try to hit on him, it's against the law, you know?"
The red-haired queen covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She didn't believe that any boy could resist her charm, but he just didn't have the chance for the time being.
The round-faced Mu Yuan was shy and didn't say anything, totally lacking the temperament of a big family. Xu Yan smiled and nodded, "Hello."
Lu Jun greeted everyone one by one, and they were very relaxed. On the one hand, the people had already dispersed, and on the other hand, the mid-level magician was the finale, so they were not afraid of a dozen slaves.
Not to mention the giant-eyed ape rats, which are at the lower end of the slave level.
Lu Jun had taken classes on demons and knew that this was a type of demon that lived in the soil for a long time. It was an expert at digging holes and preferred to live in places that could not be found in the city sewers. Its neck could stretch out and its eyes would release penetrating bloody dark beams of light...
This thing is like a rat. It reproduces very quickly and has strong survivability. There will always be a few hidden in the underground tunnels and garbage dumps of a city. They usually only eat human leftovers unless they are hungry to a certain extent. It is a cowardly and ubiquitous monster that can eat people!
So when Lu Mei heard about the case, her first guess was that it was a giant-eyed rat demon.
Chapter 10: Sewer Anomaly
In a remote commercial street, Lu Jun took a deep breath and relaxed his muscles that were tense with excitement.
With his normal strength, it is easy for him to kill the giant-eyed gorilla rat alone, unless it is the one-eyed demon wolf of the enemy of Bo City. The ordinary wolf species in the tribe have the strength of upper-level slaves.
The magic world is not peaceful, there are monsters and enemies everywhere, such as the undead in the ancient capital, the sirens in the magic city, and Bo City is a pack of wolves. The power of the Wolf King from Nanling is overwhelming Bo City and threatening several cities in Zhejiang Province.
If humans hadn't invented the barrier, with some kind of natural treasure as the core, emitting an energy wave that frightens demons, causing demons below the commander level to automatically avoid it, and demons at the monarch level would not be provoked at all.
I am afraid that the living space for human beings will be reduced by more than half.
Li Xia glanced at the dark alley between two rows of tall buildings. The entrance was stained with blood. She asked, "Who will go in first now to check the situation and seduce the demon?"
Originally, this mission should have been assigned to the wind mage, who usually served as a scout. Lu Mei had once led the way, but unfortunately, after being promoted to the intermediate level, it was no longer appropriate for her to carry out such a dangerous mission.
At the back of the team, casting powerful mid-level magic is the way to go.
Xu Yan nodded and said, "Why don't I do it? I have an earth-type primary ground wave, and my movement speed is not slow."
Just when Lu Mei refused and was about to go into battle herself, Lu Jun spoke up and volunteered, "Sister, I'll do it!"
After the words fell, several people in the team frowned, and Li Xia teased: "Little brother, can you do it?"
Lu Mei looked at Lu Jun's determined eyes, and remembering the effect of the training, she said decisively: "Okay, you come."
The other three were slightly surprised. They thought Captain Lu brought his younger brother here to broaden his horizons and brush up his qualifications. They didn't expect that a sixteen-year-old boy would be asked to take on such an important responsibility.
Walking on the edge of danger, one could die if one is not careful.
Mu Yuan and others advised: "Captain, the child just likes to show off, don't take it seriously."
"Since you are here to hunt monsters, I will treat you all equally. I let him come because he is stronger than all of you and has more self-protection capabilities."
Lu Mei said calmly that she was moved by her brother's persistence during this period. In her opinion, he already possessed the elements of a strong man, talent and persistence, and the rest was just the experience and mentality that needed to be honed slowly.
After she said that, the team members found it difficult to refute.
However, when Lu Jun skillfully controlled the star and released the elementary water magic [Water Control] in two and a half seconds, everyone was surprised.
Li Xia said in disbelief: "He's only in the first year of high school, how come his casting speed is faster than us veterans?"
A normal student can barely release magic by the end of the second semester of senior high school. He controls the stars slowly, and is considered excellent if he can release the magic within four or five seconds.
Lu Mei realized that Lu Jun's talent was somewhat against the sky, and said lightly: "I helped him awaken during the summer vacation after he graduated from junior high school."
"Oh oh oh." Xu Yan and others suddenly realized. Three months of summer vacation, six months of last semester, and one month of winter vacation, it takes ten months to master basic magic. He has a good talent.
Lu Jun chuckled. With a middle-level sister, everything can be explained easily.
At this moment, he was surrounded by mist, and a ten-foot-long, glittering blue silk ribbon surrounded him, with a wide arc covering most of the area.
The Zhenjin heavy sword in his hand had been summoned several minutes ago. The black blade was wrapped with strands of water and was fully armed.
Then, Lu Jun stepped into the old alley with a sword in hand. His face was calm. Based on his book knowledge, he knew that the scarlet rays emitted by the giant-eyed gorilla rat could be blocked once with the first-level water defense and dissolution. It was nothing to be afraid of.
Soon he saw a tiny trace of blood on the ground all the way to the dark end. At the same time, he also heard a strange vibration, like the sound of digging a tunnel.
"Wait, has the tunnel been dug?" Lu Jun remembered something about the disaster in Bo City two and a half years later. Logically speaking, with the existence of the barrier, it would be impossible for the wild one-eyed demon wolf tribe to invade.
Even if it is invaded, the city will not collapse in one fell swoop because of the barrier protection.
It was the Black Church who ordered people to dig tunnels in various sewers in Bo City in advance and bring in wolves from outside. Only with the help of both inside and outside forces could the city be broken through in one fell swoop.
Of course, the main purpose of digging the tunnel is to steal the Holy Spring, which happens to be under the Silver Trade Building in Bo City.
"Are there signs so soon? I remember the first strange vibration in the sewer occurred a year and a half later. In the cafeteria of the girls' magic high school that Mo Fan went to with the City Monster Hunting Team, one or two people died there."
Lu Jun was shocked, realizing that this might be a tunnel.
However, after dealing with the giant-eyed gorilla rat, he did not intend to report it to the Magic Association because that would alert the enemy.
Don't forget that Mu He of the Mu family in Bo City is a big shot and has the other party's protection. If a tunnel is discovered today, they will move to another one the next day. They may even act more secretly to help the Black Church find and fill in the gaps.
Not to mention that Mu He was secretly at least a high-level wizard, and if he targeted himself and his sister because of this, they would both die.
"And this isn't really a flaw. The Black Church is too smart. They covered up their actions under the activities of the giant-eyed gorilla rats. No one who doesn't know about it can connect them together."
"Even if the demons here make some noise, we can only confirm the approximate range. The sewers are complicated and the stench is unbearable, so no one would go down to explore."
Lu Jun pondered that ever since he knew he was in Bo City, he had been trying to break the plan of the Black Church. In his opinion, the tunnel was the key. As long as the demons pouring out of the city were blocked, the military barrier of Bo City could resist the foreign enemies and would not collapse at the first touch.
The best way is to scout the area in advance, find more than a dozen tunnels, and wait a few days before the disaster breaks out, and then destroy them all at once, forcing the Black Church to be on the verge of firing, but unable to achieve perfect results.
As for how to choose the right time to attack, hehe, that has to do with an iconic scene in the original work. After the winter vacation, you will be able to witness the cause in the second semester of high school.
Lu Jun made note of this place without any expression, and at the same time thought about going back to check the case files of the City Monster Hunting Team. As long as there are the keywords "vibration" and "giant-eyed gorilla rat", it is one of the tunnels.
He went deeper into the alley and suddenly heard the strange noise stop. A suffocating silence spread, and the darkness ahead became deeper and deeper, filled with the smell of rotten sewers.
Then Lu Jun saw a deep blue eye emerging from the darkness in front of him. The pupil was as big as a basketball, and the tumors all over the eye were moving, which made people get goose bumps.
It took a step, revealing half of its body. It had a neck as big as a man hugging a thick tree. Its head and neck could not be distinguished at all. There was only an eye as big as a basketball and a bloody mouth on its head!
The estimated body length is nearly three meters, and its height reaches the chest of an adult.
Buzz!
Almost at the same time when Lu Jun discovered it, its basketball-shaped pupils were shrinking violently, as if condensing something, and quickly turned scarlet. The energy reached the critical point, and instantly a bloody red light shot out from the pupils of this monster.
Rumble!
Lu Jun had been training for so long that his muscles had already developed reaction times. He tilted his body slightly, and the scarlet beam passed by and hit the wall on the left, creating a charred hole.
He sniffed the burnt brown smell in the air, his flesh and blood began to burn little by little, boiling due to the danger and excitement, his face was distorted with a mixture of fear and murderous intent.
