15: Chapter 15 Envy is a luxury

"It's a Withered Wood Demon!"

"How did so many appear suddenly? Why were the people passing by before fine?"

"Stop talking! Get ready for battle!"

"What terrible luck!"

The four seniors quickly got out of the car and entered a combat-ready state.

Xu Yao's spirit beast form was a Blazing Horse, with raging flames burning on its four hooves, emitting a scorching aura;

Zhou Feifei's spirit beast form was a Great Bear, standing two meters tall, burly and sturdy, giving off an unparalleled sense of pressure.

Lin Mengxue glanced at Chen Yi, nodded gently, and then likewise transformed into her spirit beast form.

A massive Frost Dragon appeared before everyone.

A bone-chilling cold radiated from the Frost Dragon's body, spreading out instantly.

Even in the scorching summer, people couldn't help but shiver.

As her level increased, Lin Mengxue's Frost Dragon form became even more massive. When flying in the air, it even completely blocked out the sunlight in a small area.

"Is... is this Junior Mengxue's spirit beast form?"

"So big! Isn't this Ice Dragon too cool?"

"Oh my god, it's way more domineering than what I saw in the video!"

"Stop talking! Deal with the enemies in front of us first!"

At that moment, the Withered Wood Demons also rushed to the off-road vehicle, waving their withered branches and lunging at everyone with bared fangs and claws.

Ye Chen's Beast Tamer talent was also combat-oriented.

He mounted Xu Yao, who had transformed into a Blazing Horse, then reached out his right hand and swung it sharply, unexpectedly summoning a silver-white glaive from the void, charging into the pack of Withered Wood Demons on horseback.

The scene looked just like an ancient general weaving through enemy lines, very majestic.

Zhang Yuan's talent was a support type.

He placed his hand behind Zhou Feifei and silently recited an incantation.

In an instant, an afterimage appeared on the sharp claws of Zhou Feifei's Great Bear form.

With every swing of the claws, the afterimage followed, dealing secondary damage and giving the impression of a martial artist with clones.

Chen Yi leaped up and jumped onto Lin Mengxue's back.

Lin Mengxue let out a soft "ah," her heart filled with surprise.

Are Chen Yi's legs really that powerful?

She was flying at least three or four meters high; how could he jump up here?

"Xue'er, let's take out that Demonized Withered Wood first! Remember not to damage the roots!"

"Eh, okay!"

Lin Mengxue didn't waste words and flapped her wings, instantly rushing in front of the Demonized Withered Wood.

The Demonized Withered Wood was terrified by the sudden behemoth and hurriedly fired an energy ball at Lin Mengxue.

However, Lin Mengxue just lightly swiped her paw, and the energy ball was instantly shattered.

Leaving only a faint wisp of green smoke in her palm.

"Ka ka?"

The hideous ghost-face expression on the trunk of the Demonized Withered Wood was now full of shock.

"What the hell is this thing?"—that was likely its inner thought at the moment.

Immediately after, Lin Mengxue struck down with another powerful blow, snapping the Demonized Withered Wood in half at the waist.

The body above the roots was completely torn apart.

The Demonized Withered Wood was easily defeated just like that!

"Is this enough?"

"Yes, that's enough!"

"Then I'll go help the seniors first!"

After saying that, Lin Mengxue turned without hesitation, looking toward the seniors who were in a fierce battle with the Withered Wood Demons.

Although the four of them were all higher level than the Withered Wood Demons.

Due to the massive difference in numbers, they would likely fall into a disadvantage before long.

Lin Mengxue took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply.

Breath of Ice!

This was the first time she used a skill after breaking through to Level 9 of the First Order.

She wondered how powerful it would be.

The ice-blue mist spread rapidly like a surging flood; everywhere it went, everything was frozen.

The group of Withered Wood Demons was swallowed by the terrifying ice mist, and more than half of the enemies were eliminated instantly.

"So... so strong!"

"Holy crap, this is terrifying! I feel like if we touched that mist, we'd turn into ice sculptures too."

Lin Chen and Zhang Yuan witnessed this scene during the battle and couldn't help but marvel.

Even though their levels exceeded the Withered Wood Demons, they would likely need several moves to kill one in a one-on-one fight.

But Lin Mengxue wiped out over a dozen Withered Wood Demons in one breath?

Does the power gap really have to be this huge?

The remaining dozen or so Withered Wood Demons were entangled in combat with the seniors.

If she used Breath of Ice again, she might accidentally injure her allies.

Lin Mengxue decisively changed her tactics.

With one crunching stomp per demon, she finished off all the remaining Withered Wood Demons in less than a minute.

"Mengxue, you're just too strong!"

"Luckily you were here, otherwise I feel like we really wouldn't have been able to deal with those things."

"It's not my power; it's all thanks to Brother Chen Yi~~"

After the battle, the three Spirit Beast Girls gathered together, discussing the recent fight like a girls' meeting.

As for the Beast Tamers, Zhang Yuan and Lin Chen's gazes toward Chen Yi were filled with awe and admiration.

Perhaps they had a bit of jealousy and envy before.

But now, those feelings had completely vanished.

Because the gap was simply too vast!

It's like an ordinary person would never compare themselves to the world's richest man!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and collect the magic beast crystal cores!"

Chen Yi shouted with a helpless expression.

Why are these seniors always so easily startled?

Is there really a need for such a fuss?

He only stared blankly for two and a half minutes when his system awakened!

"Coming!"

"Brother Chen Yi, you take a rest; we'll handle the collecting!"

Soon, the spoils of this battle were tallied.

A total of 27 Level 1 magic beast crystal cores, 1 Level 2 magic beast crystal core, and one kilogram of Demonized Withered Wood roots.

If all of these were sold at a stall, they could probably fetch over ten thousand yuan!

You should know that when Chen Yi worked before, his monthly income was less than two thousand.

And this single harvest was directly equivalent to half a year's income.

It was truly a bit ridiculous!

"Brother Chen Yi, Zhang Yuan and I just discussed it."

Lin Chen walked over, "You and Mengxue deserve the most credit for wiping out this group of Withered Wood Demons! So, we'll only take the magic beast crystal cores for the number we personally killed!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Isn't that obvious?

Did you really think you'd get an equal share?

"Fine, let's do as you say!"

"Wait, Brother Chen Yi, what's that on your hand—"

"A space ring, any problem?"

As soon as he said this, the four seniors instantly gasped.

A space ring!

Chen Yi even has a space ring?

What kind of family background does he have?

But after the shock came a wave of self-deprecation.

As the saying goes, beauties go with rich men, let alone a rich man with top-tier talent.

It really makes even envy feel like a luxury!

After dividing the loot, everyone went to the off-road vehicle to check the situation.

The result was a headache-inducing problem—because of the magic beast attack, all the tires except for the rear left one had blown out!

There was one spare tire, but it wasn't enough.

They would probably have to contact the Supply Station and have someone from the car rental company come to recover it.
