37: How could demons appear in a no-man's-land?

"Wanna hook up?"

Lu Yuan was stunned by these words.

Li Jinxue and the other four looked unfazed.

Lu Yuan looked at Du Lingxuan.

She was charming, with a curvaceous figure, and the look in her eyes as she stared at him was practically melting.

"Wood Attribute, Qi Refining Fifth Star Combat Class Practitioner." Lu Yuan checked Du Lingxuan's awakened attribute and realm.

The fact that this woman dared to say such things proved she was very confident in her appearance and figure.

And indeed, it was true. There were six people in the squad, four of whom were girls.

Du Lingxuan's appearance and figure were second only to Li Jinxue.

"That doesn't seem appropriate," Lu Yuan said, feeling the strong desire in Du Lingxuan's tone.

If he agreed, he reckoned they would be heading off to the woods in no time.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Du Lingxuan asked.

"No."

"We can be together, and once you find a girlfriend, we'll cut off contact."

Du Lingxuan flirtatiously brushed her hair.

"Isn't that just a hookup..." Lu Yuan didn't say the last word.

"Lu Yuan, be careful you can't handle it. Du Lingxuan just broke up a while ago, and her ex-boyfriend spent a week in the urology department." Xu Ruicheng, who was full and satisfied, winked at Lu Yuan.

"Don't forget that Du Lingxuan is a Wood Attribute Combat Class Practitioner. Hehe, those who know, know!"

Xu Ruicheng wore a knowing smile.

Wood Attribute Combat Class Practitioners could improve their strength by cooking, so Practitioners of this attribute were exceptionally open-minded.

Of course, this applied to the vast majority, though some Wood Attribute Practitioners were very conservative.

Clearly, Du Lingxuan did not belong to the conservative group, as she had openly asked Lu Yuan if he wanted to hook up.

In her eyes, Lu Yuan was the top scorer in the national Martial Examination, handsome, and had a good personality. If she didn't hook up with a guy like this, was she supposed to hook up with an ugly one?

"I'm very good, you know." Du Lingxuan cast a seductive glance.

"Ahem!"

Lu Yuan rubbed his waist, wondering if he could withstand Du Lingxuan's fierce offensive.

He didn't want to end up like Du Lingxuan's ex-boyfriend, running to the urology department every few days.

"I don't have any plans to find a girlfriend recently."

In the end, Lu Yuan rejected Du Lingxuan. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty, but she was overly charming, a bit like a succubus.

Compared to Du Lingxuan, Lu Yuan still preferred Li Jinxue, who wore a ponytail and had a pure temperament.

"Fine then." Du Lingxuan said with a tone of regret, not continuing to pester Lu Yuan.

She had originally wanted to experience cooking with a Puppet Master. Among her many ex-boyfriends, Du Lingxuan liked those who awakened Earth Attribute and Gold Attribute the most.

After the small interlude, the atmosphere remained cheerful.

"By the way, Lu Yuan, how many academic credits do you have now?" Xu Ruicheng asked curiously.

Their squad had been in the No Mans Land for three days and had obtained a total of over 100,000 academic credits.

They were very satisfied with the 100,000+ credits. Averaged out, it was 16,000 credits per person, enough to exchange for quite a few good things at school.

"380,000." Lu Yuan glanced at his student ID.

Hiss—everyone gasped!

380,000 credits! How many fierce beasts had Lu Yuan killed in the No Mans Land? One person was worth more than all six of them combined, plus an extra 280,000 credits!

"Just lucky," Lu Yuan said. That pack of Silver Moon Azure Wolves had contributed quite a few credits to him.

"Are you planning to stay in the No Mans Land?"

Li Jinxue asked.

Receiving Lu Yuan's affirmation, Li Jinxue fell silent.

Regardless, they were leaving; two people in their squad were seriously injured and needed treatment.

Traveling at night was too risky. They were over fifty miles away from the nearest border city, so they had to wait until daytime to set off.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Xuan Gang Realm. Rewarding Gold Calamity [Army Devourer], Fire Calamity [Scarlet Skeleton], and Wind Calamity [Feng Shi]!]

Once again obtained three SSS-rank Calamity Guie!

Lu Yuan's heart stirred, but he didn't materialize them right away.

After all, this was the danger-ridden No Mans Land, especially in the plains where fierce beasts could ambush at any time. He needed to find a safe place.

The night deepened. Lu Yuan sat cross-legged outside the tent, taking out a demon crystal to cultivate, while the Wind Splitting Legion circled in the sky, scouting the situation within a thousand-meter radius.

"You rest for a while, I'll take guard duty."

Li Jinxue walked out of the tent.

Of their six, four still had combat capabilities, so they took turns on duty at night to prevent sneak attacks from fierce beasts.

"No need." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Trusting anyone was not as good as trusting himself; he had long been accustomed to standing guard alone.

Seeing Lu Yuan refuse, Li Jinxue didn't speak but sat down next to him, scanning the surroundings.

The No Mans Land, shrouded in the dark night, was currently the scene of a battle royale.

Bang, bang, bang—roaring flames ignited, and a dense forest was engulfed in fire!

"Damn it, if it really comes to it, let's just fight to the death!"

The mountains crumbled and the ground cracked; towering trees collapsed with a roar.

Numerous Practitioners who ran out of the forest had tattered clothes, looking back at what was behind them with lingering fear.

They were in their early thirties, and their clothes had different emblems embroidered on the chest.

Hammers, eagles, golden swords, and so on.

A man wielding dual blades, his right eye blinded, was cursing and gritting his teeth as he pulled out a long arrow shot into his waist!

"Death is a small matter; delivering the message is the top priority!" said Guo Xuyao, who had a severed arm and was holding a long sword in his right hand.

They belonged to the Seven Alliances and One Hall and were all Divine Power Realm Combat Class Practitioners.

One day ago, they had been ordered by the elders to come to the No Mans Land to hunt the fierce beast, the Thunder Tiger.

The mission was smooth, but on the way back, they encountered a Demon King and the Demons discussing an attack on Aries City.

The attack time was set for dawn three days later!

At that time, there would be over ten thousand fierce beasts, a disciplined and organized beast tide launching a night raid on Aries City, and a five-thousand-strong Demon army providing support!

The matter was of great importance, so Guo Xuyao decided to return to the Imperial Capital immediately to deliver the message, but they were discovered.

At this moment, over a hundred Demons were hunting them down, thirty of whom were in the Divine Power Realm!

"Kill them all! Don't let them return to Huaxia!" The demonic energy surged as the leader of the Demons pointed at the Eight-star Divine Power Realm Guo Xuyao.

"Especially him!"

"Old Yu, it's up to you. You are a Wind Attribute Combat Class Practitioner; only you have a chance to escape!" Guo Xuyao said to Yu Hongbo.

Yu Hongbo shook his head.

"We go together!"

"Don't hesitate at a time like this, run! We'll cover you!" Guo Xuyao shouted hoarsely.

To deal with so many Demons, one would need a Law Realm powerhouse, and it must be a Light Attribute Law Realm powerhouse; otherwise, no one else would be of any use!

Yu Hongbo swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and used a flight Spirit Skill to sprint toward Aries City.

Puchi—Gold Attribute Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill: Soaring Fighting Spirit!

Watching Yu Hongbo disappear from sight, Guo Xuyao nodded to his companions, waved his severed arm, and wielded his long sword to unleash his strongest Spirit Skill.

Amidst the raging fire, one after another, the Practitioners belonging to the Seven Alliances and One Hall fell.

"There are powerhouses fighting!" Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, while Li Jinxue looked bewildered.

"They are far away, but they are heading our way!" Lu Yuan pulled open the tent, and the five resting freshmen looked completely confused.

Xiu xiu xiu—seven Wind Splitting Legion soldiers grabbed Lu Yuan and the others and flew high into the sky.

"What's happening?" Xu Ruicheng was even more confused. He had been sleeping, and suddenly he was carried into the sky by Wind Splitting Legion soldiers!

Lu Yuan frowned tightly, looking at the Wind Attribute Combat Class Practitioner flying rapidly not far away, covered in blood.

"Run! Behind me are the Demons!" Yu Hongbo shouted loudly, urging Lu Yuan to run quickly.

Demons?

Hearing these two words, Lu Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper, and Li Jinxue and the others were horrified.

How could there be Demons in the No Mans Land?!
