Chapter 17 Witchcraft
After being on duty for several nights in a row, Xu Zhenfeng's squad of personal soldiers finally got their turn to rest.
On this day, Xu Zhenfeng and his comrades returned to the barracks for rest. He was thinking of taking advantage of the day's rest to go look for Manshan.
Lang Buyan walked up to him, holding a roll of monster skin in his hand, and waved it at him, "This is given to you by the general. I want you to take a good look at it during these two days of rest. It contains the basic magic arts of my monster clan and our wolf monster."
Xu Zhenfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the animal skin scroll from Lang Buyan's hand. He opened it and saw that it recorded three basic magic arts of the demon clan, as well as three magic arts exclusive to the wolf demon clan.
The demon clan's magic includes concentrated force attack, which teaches the demon clan how to gather all their demonic power and use the force of a tremendous blow to kill the enemy instantly.
The second is Swift Shadow, which uses demonic power to quickly increase speed and agility.
The third is the God-Shocking Roar, which is also to gather demonic power and roar to shock the enemy's mind.
The magic arts of these three demon tribes are the most basic. Most demon tribes can learn and master them within the yellow level.
The next ones are the three basic magic arts of the wolf clan. One is "Booting the Power of the Moon", which, as the name suggests, means borrowing the power of moonlight to increase one's own magic power.
This sorcery has great limitations. It can only be used on a full moon night to borrow the power of the moon. It is ineffective at other times.
The second is savage biting. After this magic is cast, the wolf's bite force can increase to three to five times the usual level and last for a cup of tea.
The third is Wolf Shadow Attack. This magic can allow the wolf to instantly split into three real bodies, which will attack the enemy from different directions, making it difficult for the enemy to figure out which one is the real self, and thus unable to resist effectively.
Xu Zhenfeng was already shocked beyond words just by looking at the effects of these magic spells.
With such magic and the monster race's innate fierce and powerful powers, how did the monster race end up in this state today, being imprisoned by both humans and demons in the Monster Mountain, which is only a thousand miles in radius?
However, he knew very well that he only knew the basics of the operating rules of this strange world, and he would slowly unravel all his doubts in the future.
"During these two days of rest, you should think carefully and start practicing. In the next month, none of us will take turns on duty. After following the general on patrol during the day, the rest of the time is your time to practice. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If I'm not here, you can ask Lang Buxiu and the others."
After Lang Buyan finished speaking, the other demon soldiers also nodded at Xu Zhenfeng.
It has to be said that among all the tribes in Demon Mountain, the wolf tribe is not the most outstanding in terms of demonic power and bravery.
However, the wolf tribe is very united and never keeps secrets when teaching the tribe magic. This is the reason why the wolf tribe can stand out from the tribes with excellent magic power such as lions, tigers, leopards, elephants and pythons and become one of the eight tribes in the Monster Mountain.
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, clasped his fists and saluted to his comrades without saying many words of thanks.
He gave up the idea of looking for Manshan and started to study this volume of basic magic in the barracks.
Just as he was watching intently, Lang Buyan, who had already left, returned to the barracks and said to him with a strange look on his face, "The general asked you to go to the tower."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenfeng immediately put away the animal skins, left the barracks and went to the city wall.
In the stone house with two rooms, which was owned by Lang Wentian.
Xu Zhenfeng stood straight. Lang Wentian sat on the stone chair in the middle. He looked at him and asked with a smile, "Have you seen the magic scroll?"
"In reply to the general, I just received it and have not figured it out yet."
"Well, you don't have to follow me on patrols for the time being. Just practice hard here. Food will be brought by other demon soldiers. I'll give you a month. Can you master all the demon arts here?"
When Xu Zhenfeng heard Lang Wentian's words, he was stunned for a moment. How high were the hopes that this great demon had for him?
Six magic arts, mastered in one month? He was just a yellow-rank level one demon who had just transformed. Was this wolf general too optimistic about his own strength and talent?
"Reporting to the general, I am afraid that my strength is limited. I am afraid that I cannot do it in a month."
Xu Zhenfeng clasped his fists and lowered his head, not daring to look at Lang Wentian's expectant face.
Lang Wentian didn't care. He nodded and said, "If one month doesn't work, how about two months?"
Xu Zhenfeng felt extremely embarrassed. When he was the king of exam papers in his previous life, he had never said a word of no to his leader. But today, he was afraid that he would have to say all the discouraging words that he had never said in his previous life.
"Reporting to the general, two months may not be enough."
"Those three months."
There was already a hint of coldness in Lang Wentian's tone.
Xu Zhenfeng sensed a hint of coldness in his voice. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will go all out and will not disappoint the general."
"That's right. How can my demon race be so heartless? We will go forward even when there are no difficulties. Even when there are difficulties, we will overcome them and go forward."
When Xu Zhenfeng heard these words that were so familiar to him in his previous life, he almost jumped up on the spot. He raised his head abruptly and looked at Lang Wentian's face, which had obvious wolf characteristics and looked a little ferocious.
"The leader's instructions are bright and correct. General, are you... okay?"
Lang Wentian looked at him blankly, "What are you talking about?"
"Ah, nothing, nothing, just asking if you are in a good mood today?"
Lang Wentian did not answer, but stood up and walked to him, patted his shoulder, and said: "I will give you three months of rest and rest. After three months, I want to see you use all the magic on it."
"I will definitely do my best to live up to the great general's expectations."
Xu Zhenfeng had no idea what to do, but at this moment he had no choice but to agree.
After Lang Wentian gave him some pointers on how to practice magic, he left the stone house.
Xu Zhenfeng was alone in the room, thinking for a while with his head tilted, his eyes rolling around, and found that a door had been opened on the right wall of the outer room of this stone house.
He walked to the door, pushed it open and looked inside. There was a small room with only a stone bed and a stone pillow.
At this time, a demon soldier came in with a pot of roasted demon meat and said to Xu Zhenfeng at the door: "This is the demon meat specially arranged for you by the general. It is the same as what the general eats. From now on, your meals will be the same as the general's."
After saying that, the demon soldier placed the basin on the stone table and left.
Xu Zhenfeng came to the table and looked at the pot full of monster meat. He couldn't help but feel moved.
Apart from anything else, this wolf general really cares about me.
Even the meals during the practice period are the best prepared for myself.
With such a great demon's support and encouragement, I have to give it a try no matter what. Isn't it just a matter of three months to master all these magic skills?
He was able to be a human and a demon in two lives. This was the luck God had given him. With this luck, what was impossible?
