Chapter 15 The Clown
Chapter 15 The Clown
The person who came was naturally Russell.
After coming out of the cave, due to the remaining breath of the centipede in the cave, there were no other centipede monsters on the top of the mountain.
Therefore, Russell could only return to the middle of the mountain to continue collecting materials.
But when he got back to the middle of the mountain, he saw a tree fall in the distance in mid-air.
If Russell was in the woods, he might not be able to notice what was happening in the distance.
When he arrived at the scene on Pidgeot, he saw Du Heng pushing Jiang Nanxi out.
But now is not the time to talk nonsense.
The monster had already attacked Jiang Nanxi who was lying on the ground.
"Yuichirō!" Russell's eyes focused and he released Yuichirō Tsugikuni.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
Ji Guoyuan quickly blocked the monster's sharp claws with the samurai sword in his hand.
Only then did Russell have time to look at Du Heng.
"Du Heng, it's fine if you don't save them, but you actually tried to get Jiang Nanxi to help you block the knife?" Russell asked with a frown.
In his opinion, even if Du Heng ran away, it would be excusable, but he should never harm his classmates.
Du Heng couldn't help but get hysterical when he heard what Russell said: "It's their honor to die for me, a future Hall of Fame card maker! Russell, don't meddle in other people's business!"
Russell sighed, ignoring the mad Du Heng, and slowly landed beside Jiang Nanxi, pulling her up: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Nanxi shook her head. Apart from being pushed to the ground by Du Heng, she was not hurt in any other way.
Thinking of Du Heng, Jiang Nanxi turned around and looked at him coldly: "I will tell my father what happened here."
Russell didn't say much after hearing this. How to deal with Du Heng was Jiang Nanxi's business. Besides, if it were him, Du Heng's fate would probably not be very good.
When Du Heng heard Jiang Nanxi's words, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His legs softened and he fell to his knees. "Jiang Nanxi, I was wrong. I kowtow to you. Please don't tell your father."
As he said this, Du Heng began to kowtow on the ground.
Du Heng's family is just an ordinary well-off family, while Jiang Nanxi's father is a gold-level card maker in the association.
If Jiang Nanxi tells her father what happened here, Du Heng will probably not end up well.
You should know that the Card Makers Association has expressly prohibited registered card makers from killing each other.
Jiang Nanxi didn't react at all, but just turned back and continued to look at the field.
At this moment, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and the monster were in a standoff, and neither of them dared to attack rashly.
But in the end, the mad monster lost his patience and rushed towards Jiguo Yuanyi first.
"So fast." Russell on the sidelines had a solemn expression. The monster in front of him was the strongest monster he had ever seen since he came to this world.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi just managed to dodge the monster's attack, but his forearm was still cut with several bloody wounds.
"Yuichi, use the pattern." Russell said with a frown.
There is no time to delay any longer. Lin Yue's condition on the ground is obviously not very good. The longer it delays, the more dangerous it will be.
Upon hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi took a deep breath, and the reddish-brown stripes on his head seemed to expand a little.
Feeling the sudden increase in the consumption of mental energy, Russell's face turned pale.
But fortunately, this is all within his tolerance.
The next moment, Tsugaru Yoshiichi disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of the monster.
The monster obviously didn't react to Jiguo Yuanyi's sudden increase in speed.
The blade, carrying a brilliant flame, instantly cut through the monster's body.
The monster froze in place, motionless.
"Wow!" The next moment, the monster split into several pieces.
The largest remaining upper body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Jiang Nanxi looked at this scene in shock, thinking secretly in his heart: "Is this the true strength of Russell Cards?" Jiguo Yuanyi's sudden outburst made Jiang Nanxi realize that Russell had not used his full strength in the previous ranking test.
Du Heng was filled with jealousy and resentment at the moment: "Why! It's him again, always him!"
Du Heng found it hard to accept. Russell's current performance showed that he had not used his full strength in the battle with him a few days ago, which made his harsh words seem a bit like a clownish one.
Although in Russell's opinion, Du Heng looked like a clown.
Without caring what the two thought, Russell frowned and came to the side of Jiguo Yuanyi. At this time, the flesh and blood entangled on the monster's body was slowly dissipating.
The flesh covering his face slowly faded away, revealing the familiar cheek beneath the flesh.
Russell's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the appearance beneath the flesh and blood.
It turned out to be Old Wang, whom the students in the key class met when they entered the secret realm.
Silently moving his body to block the view of the two people behind him, Russell asked softly: "Why did you become like this?"
At the last moment of his life, Lao Wang seemed to have regained some sanity.
He kept coughing up blood and said intermittently, "I don't want to... I don't want to die."
"My mother is still waiting for me in the hospital"
Tears kept falling down Lao Wang's broken cheeks: "Save me"
"I'm sorry, Captain."
"beg"
Before he could finish his words, Lao Wang gradually disappeared into the air like a dead card.
All that was left was a card flashing scarlet red.
Russell frowned when he saw Lao Wang's performance: "Qi?"
"The Begging Spirit Society?"
Silently keeping this information in mind, Russell bent down and picked up the card on the ground.
Black Iron Level [Flesh Demon] (Gold).
Russell was shocked when he saw the materials in his hand.
He originally thought that what Lao Wang left behind were his cards, but he didn't expect that they were actually something like the material condensed after the death of a demon.
And it was actually golden. Russell had never seen golden materials before. Even on trading websites, black iron grade golden materials were rare.
Just as Russell was still thinking about what Lao Wang said, Jiang Nanxi came up and asked, "What's wrong? What did this demon just say?"
Thanks to her father, Jiang Nanxi knew that some demons in the secret realms were very intelligent, and some could even speak human language.
At this time, she also regarded Lao Wang as one of those highly intelligent demons.
Russell was silent for a moment, and finally decided not to tell Jiang Nanxi about his discovery: "Nothing, just let me kill him quickly."
Then, Russell changed the subject and said, "There should be monitoring stations in this kind of secret realm. I will go to the monitoring station to check the situation first, and then go out to ask for help."
"By the way, Yunyi will stay here to watch over you guys."
Jiang Nanxi nodded. She thought Russell was worried about the centipede monster.
But what she didn't know was that on the one hand, Russell was indeed worried about the centipede monster, but on the other hand, he was worried about Du Heng, who seemed distraught after Jiang Nanxi said that he would tell his father what happened here.
Russell naturally would not underestimate the human heart. For a madman like this, who knows if he will lose his mind and do something after he leaves.
Summoning Pidgeot, Russell quickly headed to the foot of the mountain.
When he arrived at the monitoring station, Russell finally understood why Lao Wang said he was sorry to the captain.
What appeared before him was a headless corpse with a big hole in the chest.
Without too much time to think, Russell left the secret realm immediately.
