Chapter 120 Demons are chasing us
The others were used to it; how dare a giant python, barely a commander, run wild here? Did they really think these high-level mages were just sitting around doing nothing?
He's courting death.
The bald man's hand was still crackling with electricity, and he waved his hand to extinguish the purple lightning.
The giant python was cut in half, the pieces of flesh were kicked away, and the person inside walked out unharmed.
"We need to be careful. It won't be long before this place is full of these giant pythons. Even if we are super-level mages, we won't be able to kill them all. We can only try to escape." He was a super-level mage of the sound system.
Although these giant pythons are not very powerful, their sheer numbers are overwhelming; as many as ants can kill an elephant.
Besides, they don't even look like ants; these giant pythons aren't even ants.
"Can you contact the outside world?" the bald man asked, looking at the person fiddling with their phone.
"No, still no signal." The person put away, somewhat helplessly.
"Just a heads-up, you can't determine direction by the sun in the Helan Mountains, at least that's how it used to be. I don't know if that's changed now," Ye Quan said at this moment.
"I suggest we don't use the sun to determine direction. Even the outer perimeter of Helan Mountain couldn't be determined by the sun before, and it probably won't work now either," said the sound-based mage.
"This won't work, that won't work, how are we going to get out?" As he spoke, the bald man unleashed another high-level spell, which, combined with his soul seed, caused demons below the rank of commander to die one by one.
A giant python lay down on the ground again. Its magic casting speed was very fast. It could almost cast a high-level spell with a single thought. It had already reached the three-star level in a year, and it could cast a high-level spell with just two thoughts.
Su Ming was too weak to participate. He was currently keeping a watchful eye on things outside, while his other consciousness had already gone to the summoning plane.
He found Xiaoqing in the woods, but she was still sleeping. Her eyelids blinked from time to time, indicating that she wanted to wake up but couldn't. It was probably going to happen soon.
Su Ming could sense Xiao Qing's growing strength; was she now at the Commander level?
Su Ming attributed all of this to Bi Fang, who probably used some method to help Xiao Qing improve her strength.
Although he didn't obtain the so-called totem power, becoming a high-level mage in three years is still a very fast time.
Generally speaking, it takes three to four years, and three years is considered very fast.
Of course, this is based on online big data statistics; some members of large families may not need that long.
Su Ming began to condense constellations, starting with the star map. He was already very familiar with it in his mind, but he was still a little lacking when he actually used it. It took him a full ten seconds to condense one constellation.
The spatial constellation was completed in ten seconds, and he had a chance to use it in just a few seconds after it was completed.
A giant python seemed to sense that Su Ming's strength was weaker than the others. It sneaked over to Su Ming's side, but no matter how stealthy it was, its size made it easy to be noticed.
The giant python bit down but missed, leaving only some dust behind. Su Ming appeared beside Ye Quan.
High-level spatial magic allows for instantaneous movement; Su Ming's current limit is approximately 150 meters—he can move close but not far.
After Su Ming left, several vines grew rapidly near the giant python, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped the python up. With the continuous tightening of the vines, the giant python was strangled to death.
This was Ye Quan making the move. His main skill was plant magic, so he only needed to plant a few seeds beforehand to deal with these demons. He didn't even need intermediate-level magic; a few basic-level spells would be enough to take care of them.
Several people huddled together to discuss countermeasures. After a while, more and more giant pythons appeared, but no new people came out. However, two corpses did emerge.
With the appearance of commander-level giant pythons, everyone knows they can't wait any longer. If there are too many pythons, they won't have enough magic energy to consume.
After discussion, the command of the team was handed over to Ye Quan. Ye Quan was quite famous among the hunters, and he had been to Helan Mountain once before, so he was more familiar with the place than the others. The bald man didn't try to take the position; as long as they could get out, that was all that mattered.
A dozen or so people walked north in a large group.
They were all high-level mages, and they could easily destroy any giant pythons they encountered along the way. However, they all used mid-level magic, as high-level magic consumes too much mana. A few of them had relatively strong mid-level magic, so they used mid-level magic to deal with them.
High-level magic is only used when encountering a commander-level demon.
With a sonic mage in command, they encountered virtually no danger along the way; the combat power of a super-level mage was simply too strong.
A team of more than a dozen super-level mages is extremely rare in any operation.
"You're not a super-level mage, are you?" The bald man walked up to Su Ming. He didn't make a move because he wasn't strong enough. Ye Quan had spoken to the sound-based mage, but he hadn't told anyone else.
Because the bald man was the strongest, he couldn't waste his magic energy on dealing with these minor monsters; he had to save it for the powerful demons that might appear.
"No." Su Ming knew that hiding it wouldn't do any good, so he directly stated that he was not a super-level mage.
"You're really lucky. A high-level mage like you managed to get in here and survived." The bald man remarked. Even a high-level mage like Cheng Du had died, but he hadn't.
The bald man didn't say anything. He still maintained the airs of a high-ranking mage and wouldn't ask about everything. How he got in wasn't really his concern.
Although he looks fierce, he has a good heart. He became bald because he encountered a demon who robbed him of his hair.
After learning that Su Ming was not a super-level mage, he began to move closer to Su Ming, hoping to take care of this junior.
Ye Quan raised one hand, and everyone else paused for a moment.
"There's a monarch-level giant python ahead. I didn't dare get too close. Should we go around it or fight it?" The group found a place near a cave and stopped.
The Helan Mountains are full of caves. The one who came was a high-level wind mage who was working as a scout.
"Ye Quan, my suggestion is to go around them. Monarch-level beings are too strong; we shouldn't go to war with such creatures," said the sonic mage.
Several people agreed to go around it. Although they were all high-level mages, who knew how long the journey would take? The worst thing in the wild was to run out of magic power. Although they were not afraid, they did not want to waste their magic. It was not worth it.
"No, I think it's better to just fight them directly. There are demons everywhere now, and we don't have much time to find new routes," the bald man said.
Although he wasn't a sound mage, he could sense the terrifying number of demons around him. There were so many that he even felt like he was heading into demon territory, and he began to doubt whether Ye Quanxuan was on the right track.
"Call them," Ye Quan said after thinking for a moment.
"Ye Quan, are you sure?" the sound-based mage questioned.
"That's right, we should attack. Someone is chasing us, or rather, a demon is more appropriate. It's not fast, but it's heading this way. We can't let it catch us here; we need to go somewhere where there are fewer demons." Ye An was silent for a moment, then took out a red stone and placed it on the ground.
