Multitalented Witch

Chapter 288: Getting Big or Going Home

Misting is common this season. Small drops of rain fell from the mountain shrouded in thick fog. The terrain was wet and muddy, even the rivers were flowing with stronger currents. The sound of the waves could be heard from a great distance away.

The gray sky was boundless, nor was there any visible end of the mountain range. The rain curtain hung between the sky and the ground.

Amidst the cold rain, snowy white wings appeared out of nowhere, keeping a certain distance from the ground as they glided through the sky.

The wings belonged to the Heavenly Eagle, a tame beast typical of the Chinese military. They were mostly used as mounts, and rarely engaged in any combat.

The Heavenly Eagle was one of the rare types of Beasts that could be tamed using the Psychic Element. During the many battles between humans and demonic beasts, humans somehow discovered this rare species. They were willing to affiliate with humans, but they were unwilling to fight for them.

More snowy white figures appeared. They moved in an orderly manner, with a hint of aura that could only be seen in Battlemage.

A man with an army coat covering his shoulders on one of the Heavenly Eagles said, “Remember, from now on, you no longer carry the identity of a soldier. Everything you do is no longer tied to the North China Military.” The man had two small whiskers and an ancient tobacco pipe in his hand. He would smoke every time he finished a sentence, just like normal breathing.

Not many people actually smoked with pipes in this era, but it was just a habit that Lu Nian had become accustomed to. His back had once been torn apart by a Commander-level beast, leaving a huge wound where he could still feel a dull ache. He had visited many experienced Healers, but none of them proved useful. In the end, he could only rely on a special type of tobacco to make himself slightly numb!

“Commander Lu, we are three hundred kilometers from Jinlin City. There was a group of Blood Piercing Vultures living near Jinlin City. Should we get involved? ” Advisor Officer is Women's Battlepage. Her eyebrows were almost fused in a straight line, not a beautiful woman.

“No need for that. We will walk after we are close to their territory, ” Lu Nian said.

“Awessed!”

"Remember, only success is allowed for this mission!"

"Agreed!"

””-

In a rather unique bamboo pavilion south of Imperial College, Song He, who was a fan of Chrysanthemum tea, was sitting on a futon and enjoying the pleasant aroma of the teapot in front of him.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with great force. The door made of bamboo swayed wildly, as if it was about to collapse.

"Who's there? Where is it?” Dean Song He frowned.

"It's me, old man."

“Zhan Kong?” Song He raised his eyelids and looked at the not-so-young man in front of him in surprise.

Song He took a closer look and saw five new scars around the man's neck and chest. Only a portion of the scar was revealed above his collar, it was hard to tell how far the scar extended.

"Your wounds, if it was an inch higher on your neck, you might have died by now!" Dean Song He said with a slightly depressed look.

“I live, that's all that matters. Unfortunately, they completely ruined my perfect body.” Zhan Kong tried to smile casually.

“They must be from the Darkwing Wolf. Their claws are extremely sharp and have the ability to damage their target's blood. You will need a very long time to fully recover from his injuries,” Dean Song He said.

“I will kill that Darkwing Wolf with my bare hands one day! but I'm here for another problem.” Zhan Kong had a stern look.

"What's the matter, don't tell me the Southern Military is interested in a kid with a Double Innate Element?" Song He smiled as he found his answer quite quickly.

“Do not worry. Old Xiao and Qiu Yuhua were against it. Lu Nian did visit me personally,” Dean Song He told him.

“That's exactly why I'm here. I have received news from an old friend in the Northern Military. A group of soldiers reporting to Lu Nian were suddenly dismissed. Even Lu Nian himself seemed to have the intention to get out of his position, ” Zhan Kong said.

“It's true that Commander Lu has been acting strangely lately. Maybe he tried to find another way, because he couldn't get any higher in the military?” Dean Song He proposed.

“Hey, did you lose the edge because of your age? Lu Nian did this because he could do something crazy without being restricted!” zhan Kong said.

Dean Song He was shocked, before he recalled something as he gathered his thoughts.

"Are you really suggesting he'll go that far?" Dean Song He asked.

“And you said it was impossible? Hurry up and tell me where the boy is! ” Zhan Kong reply.

"He's with the training group!" Dean Song He replied.

"Did Lu Nian know about that?"

“He did!” answer the Dean helplessly.

“!” Zhan Kong was speechless. He then said, “Is your brain rusting? Lu Nian's subordinates were a group of maniacs who would do anything to achieve their goals. Why don't you think that Lu Nian will do something crazy, even if it has to sacrifice everything? They were all expelled so if they committed a serious offense, they would not embarrass the Black Tortoise Regiment!”

“I never thought they would go that far! Hurry up, we can't waste any more time. We should head to Jinlin City at once. We can't let him do such a scary thing.” Dean Song He exclaimed.

"Save your breath, old man, I'll go alone" said Zhan Kong.

“Yao Nan, the hunter responsible for the incident is also here in the capital. I'll ask him to go with you. He had Magic Wings Equipment. He can travel there pretty quickly. ” Dean Song He says.

“It's decided!”

””

Inside Jinlin City, close to a group of Boston Ivies, Mo Fan had changed into black clothes and sat on a stand-alone pillar. He enjoyed the delicious jerky, while watching the fight between the Swift Star Wolf and the Three-eyed Magic Wolf.

It was rare to encounter such a familiar species in an abandoned city, and somehow it was the type that could sense the resonance of sonar waves.

The Three-Eyed Magical Wolf was enormous, taller than the roof of most of the buildings on the street. Mo Fan clearly remembered the first time he had met such a gigantic beast with his classmates. He did not even dare to take an extra breath, only for him to lose his presence.

His mindset was completely different when he met the three-eyed Magic Wolf once again. In fact, Mo Fan could only let his Swift Star Wolf handle it, instead of attacking himself.

Despite the fact that they were both different species of wolves, the Swift Star Wolf actually saw the three-eyed Magic Wolf as an unworthy opponent. He leaped forward and attacked with his fangs, teaching his opponent what a real wolf should look like!

Looking at the wound covering the giant beast, Mo Fan could not help but smile.

The fact that he was now able to easily deal with a savage beast that he used to only be able to avoid was something to be quite proud of!
