Old Chess closed his eyes again to maintain the barrier, unable to be distracted.
With nothing else to do, the two could only silently watch and listen to the battle in the distance, waiting for the outcome.
This battle seemed more intense and lasted longer than expected.
"Apprentice."
About 10 minutes later, Old Chess suddenly spoke.
"Master, I’m here."
Little Jingle reflexively stood up.
"The situation has changed. There should be demon pets around the Wooden Spirit."
Old Chess quickly said, "I’m afraid their demon pets are looking for the Array Eye inside the barrier. If they find this place, you guys must protect me with all your strength!"
The Array Eye is his chessboard.
That means the place those demons are searching for is right here.
"Yes, Master!"
Little Jingle’s face was serious but also a bit excited, as she could finally take action.
Demon pets are generally not very strong, making them suitable for practice. freewebnøvel.coɱ
[Roar...]
About 2 minutes later, Ree Shil noticed the Zombie Beast Hound lowering its body, letting out a low growl.
"Be careful, demonic Qi is approaching."
Old Chess opened one eye and provided the answer.
"No problem, Master, just watch me!"
Using this time, Little Jingle had already set up several Spell Traps. freewёbnoνel.com
"This is a good time to test the results of my training."
Ree Shil stretched lazily, then took out his iron stick.
He hoped this time he wouldn’t have to deal with a PVE Card Game again.
"Huh?"
Seeing him take out something out of thin air, Little Jingle’s eyes widened slightly.
Was this an Artifact?
[Roar!!!] xN
But before she could ask, various roars of demon beasts arrived.
"Wow, there are so many!"
Little Jingle initially thought there would be at most three to five of them, but there were at least ten!
"And he’s a Wooden Spirit Demon, why would he keep fire-type demon beasts?"
This was her most puzzling question.
Boom!
A heavenly thunder fell, striking two demon beasts that had stepped into her trap.
One of them fell to the ground immediately, while the other was charred but still able to move.
"Phew..."
Seeing this, Little Jingle couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
[Quack Quack!]
But at this time, the long-legged land bird demon at the front had already spotted her.
These demon beasts didn’t have much intelligence, so their master couldn’t give any specific orders. They could only release them to run wild inside the barrier.
Demon beasts have a strong evil intent towards the Human Tribe; perhaps the other party intended to use this to find the Array Eye’s holder and kill them.
The land bird demon’s running speed was very fast, reaching Little Jingle in the blink of an eye.
Its head tilted back slightly, then pecked down.
Little Jingle, like her master, wasn’t an expert in direct combat against demons.
Her physical abilities were barely better than ordinary people, making it difficult for her to react to such fast demon beasts.
"!!!"
At this moment, she could only watch helplessly as the sharp bird beak grew larger in her pupils.
Just as she thought she was going to be injured by the bird’s beak, a dark shadow with white light swung over, hitting the bird demon’s head squarely.
Clang!
"Why didn’t you dodge?"
Ree Shil glanced at her and shielded her behind him.
"I, I, I couldn’t react in time!"
Regaining her senses, Little Jingle’s voice trembled.
She wanted to remind him to be careful about the bird demon’s counterattack, but when she looked down she saw it lying on the ground, headless.
(A one-hit headshot?)
She looked at the iron stick in his hand, wrapped with a few strands of white smoke, and knew that it wasn’t ordinary.
Was this guy really an apprentice?
"Weren’t you confident before? Are you scared now?"
Ree Shil teased while swinging his stick again.
Clang!
The pressure of the Immortal Qi combined with his strength crushed the backbone of the attacking tiger-like demon beast, causing it to howl and roll on the ground.
"There were too many of them and they came too fast!"
"If I had more time to prepare, I could have defended against even twice as many!"
Little Jingle was somewhat dissatisfied.
Her words weren’t false, though. In such a short time, most of the demon beasts had either fallen or been seriously injured by her traps.
Only the "lucky" bird demon and tiger demon had managed to reach them.
"Alright, you set up your traps."
Ree Shil left her with these words and started looking for injured demon beasts on the ground to finish them off.
Once Little Jingle had set up her traps, he planned to go and check on Exterminator Thirteen.
He was a little worried about encountering such a sudden situation.
At the same time, he sent the Zombie Beast Hound to scout and guard. If it encountered any particular situations, it would report back to him.
Little Jingle began to set up her Spell Traps again, and during that time, any demon beasts that attacked were killed by Ree Shil.
After she had finished setting up, Ree Shil came to Old Chess’s side.
"Master Chess, I’m a bit worried about Exterminator Thirteen, I plan to go and check on him."
"Alright, you go. I’ll help out if it’s really necessary."
Old Chess, with his eyes closed, immediately replied.
As Ree Shil turned and left, Old Chess slowly opened his eyes, watching his retreating figure.
He had seen everything that had happened earlier, even though he hadn’t said anything.
It seemed that Exterminator Thirteen had found another good apprentice.
Why was there such a big difference between apprentices?
His gaze fell on Little Jingle once more.
Should he let her train for a few more years before letting her graduate?
If she knew what he was thinking, she would probably be furious on the spot.
...
At this moment, in a certain part of the barrier.
The Zombie Beast Hound was loyally carrying out Ree Shil’s orders, walking and sniffing.
Since it was just a dog, even if it encountered demon beasts, they wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
[Woof?]
Suddenly, it paused in its steps.
Why did it smell a familiar aura?
...
