Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

"If you are afraid, I will pick it next time." Wang Hua said suddenly, and he seemed to want to show off himself.

"Well, Wang Hua's strength is indeed stronger, and he should be able to handle any danger he encounters. But everyone should remember one thing, that is, never abuse magic, and don't easily enter the warning range of the big purple linden tree, otherwise it will bring greater trouble to others." Wang Dakuo reminded at this time.

"Isn't it true that the more people there are, the stronger the power is?" Chen Binbin said with a smile.

Wang Dakuo immediately glared at him fiercely, and then said seriously: "You'd better remember what I said!"

"Okay... yes!" Chen Binbin's face also turned gloomy. He didn't understand why Wang Dakuo suddenly spoke in such an unpleasant tone.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan also felt that Wang Dakuo's tone was quite serious, and they couldn't help but feel curious, and then turned their gaze to Lingling.

Just as Lingling was about to say something, a scream suddenly came from the woods.

This shrill voice immediately echoed above the forest, making everyone shudder. What kind of horrible thing did this person experience to make such a creepy cry? ?
"Let's go and take a look!" Wang Dakuo's expression darkened, and he took the lead and ran towards the place where the screaming came from.

Everyone hurriedly caught up. As they were running, a gust of wind blew over, and the strong smell of blood made people feel even more uneasy!
“It looks like there’s more than one big linden tree here,” Lingling said.

“Isn’t it said that this collection should be relatively safe?” Mo Fan said.

"Generally speaking, the Demon Crown Leaf may not be a very important thing to the Big Tilia Tree, but if some outsiders are eager to attack, it will lead to tragedy. Don't underestimate the terrible power that a Big Tilia Tree can evoke. Even if you want to deal with it, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult!" Lingling said.

"Ah~!!!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard, which frightened everyone in the team. The man named Chen Binbin immediately ran to the side of the gorgeous woman with shoulder-length hair, and then said in a panic, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Arm!! Arm!" The beautiful woman pointed at the object hanging on the branch, her face pale to the extreme.

Lingling was standing nearby. She slowly raised her head and saw the arm that was still dripping blood. It was a severed hand that had been torn off directly from the elbow. The cut looked very uneven, with even some half-exposed tendons, bones and blood on it!
"Shut up right now. As a mage, you can't do this even if you see this situation. You have to understand that you are not allowed to shout in the current situation!" Wang Dakuo glared at the woman.

At this time, the other young men also looked unhappy. Most of them worked in offices. Although they had seen corpses before, they had never seen one so miserable. They didn't know what had happened to this person.

"It's probably a monster with great brute force." Lingling looked at the wound on the severed hand and then spoke.

At this time, Chen Binbin's expression was extremely weird. Even he didn't dare to look at the arm directly. But the little girl still had the mind to analyze it. When he thought of a living person being torn into pieces by a demon, Chen Binbin felt uncomfortable all over.

"Elder, we think we should...let's go." Guo Muzhuang said with some fear.

"How can we just stand by and watch someone die!" Wang Dakuo snorted coldly.

He immediately took the lead and walked in front. The others only felt the terrifying aura getting closer and closer to them, but they could only bite the bullet and keep up.

"Lin Ran, look, his head is here." Lingling suddenly called out.

At this time, the beautiful girl who was following Lingling was stunned. She immediately screamed and hid far away.

Lin Ran turned over the large leaf that looked like a banana leaf, and there was indeed a head hidden underneath. The frightening thing was that the broken neck of the head was still very uneven, with some wrinkles on it, as if it had been twisted off directly!

“Tear, twist, and gnaw… Hmm, this is most likely a mountain man!” Lingling said to Lin Ran and Mo Fan.

The mountain people Lingling was talking about were not the people who lived in the mountains. These mountain people were a kind of demons. Their body shapes were very similar to those of humans, but they had fangs like wild boars, skin as hard as tree bark, and terrifying claws like giant bears. Although they did not know any magic, their brute force was among the best among the mountain demons.

They are very fast, accustomed to sudden attacks, and are extremely cruel to living creatures, usually tearing and eating their captured prey alive.

Most of these mountain people live in very primitive dense forests. For example, in Shennongjia, there is a large tribe mainly composed of mountain people. However, what people did not expect is that there are also these mountain people in the outer Kunyu Mountain! !

Wang Dakuo did not refute Lingling's inference, because he had also seen a large footprint. Generally, mountain people are not much taller than humans, usually 2 to 4 meters tall, so the person who left such a large footprint is most likely a mountain person. If he is a strong hunter, then there is no reason for him not to wear shoes!
There were still screams, which meant there were still survivors. They continued to move forward, but the beautiful girl with Chen Binbin no longer dared to move forward.

They had only seen scenes like being torn apart by five horses on TV, and the corpses were actually relatively flat. However, the corpses in front of them were so miserable that she was completely terrified.

"I won't go over there. I absolutely won't go over there!" said the girl with tears on her face.

"Hurry up, otherwise we will fall behind." Chen Binbin said while dragging the girl, but his eyes were fixed on the other members of the team who were getting farther and farther away.

Everyone else has already gone ahead. There are dense forests nearby, and it would be extremely difficult to find the team if the distance between them is only one or two hundred meters. Chen Binbin didn't expect that he couldn't drag them forward no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly, when he heard some movement around him, Chen Binbin broke out in a sweat.

"You're going to kill me now!" Chen Binbin yelled angrily at this time, and simply shook off the woman who had been scared to the point of mental disability, and then rushed quickly in the direction where the team left.

"Don't abandon me..."

……

The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger. Mo Fan and Wang Dakuo were walking in the front. When they pushed aside a patch of dense grass, the sharp-eyed Mo Fan spotted a very sturdy figure from behind. However, this guy's arms and legs were very thick and covered in red blood...

"Damn beast, where are you running to!" Wang Dakuo roared angrily, and immediately chased in the direction where the mountain man left.

The murderer felt a powerful presence behind him, so he quickened his pace. Soon he went into the woods and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan did not chase after them. Their eyes fell on the grass, which was covered with internal organs, including some intestines. They wondered if there were any living people inside.

Even though Mo Fan was used to seeing blood and disgust, the mountain man's cruelty in killing still made him shudder. He looked at Lin Ran and saw that he was still very calm.

The others had already caught up. When they saw the things on the ground, they immediately vomited all over the place. This scene was hard for even some hunters to bear, let alone mages who didn't live in the wild. "Where's the elder?" Guo Muzhuang asked hurriedly.

"He went after the murderer. He was so fast that we couldn't catch up with him," said Mo Fan.

"Ah? How could the elder abandon us? What should we do now?" said the female mage Zhong Mi.

“Wait a minute, why are there only you guys here? Where are the others?” Mo Fan took a look and found that Zhao Manyan, Chen Binbin and the frightened girl were not in the team. In his impression, they were not far behind the team.

Chen Ying also turned her head and found that there was no one for a long distance behind her. She couldn't help but show surprise on her face.

"This... How can they fall behind just like that?" Wang Hua said angrily.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Suddenly, an even sharper scream came from the previous direction.

The scream was extremely miserable, making people feel that this person might have endured inhuman torture, and everyone felt cold after hearing it.

"It seems...it seems to be Hu Duo's cry!" said the girl named Zhong Mi in a frightened voice.

"Is Hu Duo in trouble?"

As soon as they thought of the body that had been torn to pieces before, and now saw the mess on the grass, everyone's faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Huh, huh, I finally caught up with you. How come you run so fast..." At this moment, Chen Binbin suddenly ran over from the other end of the woods, and he said to everyone breathlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a puddle of liquid on the grass, so he subconsciously tried to identify what it was. When he found out what it was, he vomited violently in an instant and couldn't even utter a word.

"Wasn't Hu Duo with you before?" Guo Muzhuang immediately widened his eyes and said.

"Ah? I was afraid of falling behind, so I asked her to follow me. What's wrong with her now?" Chen Binbin said.

"You...you guy, if anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!!" Guo Muzhuang roared in anger. Without waiting for everyone to make any decision, he ran towards the direction where Hu Duo screamed.

"Don't act alone!" The thin man with Guo Muzhuang shouted, gritted his teeth and ran after Guo Muzhuang.

……

The others did not take any action. The Wang Dakuo, whom they relied on, had already chased them deep into the forest. If they continued to run around, they would probably lose contact with Wang Dakuo completely.

Zhao Manyan and another girl also fell behind. Lin Ran and the others were not too worried about Zhao Manyan, as he had the strength to protect himself. But what made them worried was the girl, Hu Duo, who was abandoned by Chen Binbin. It was very dangerous for her to be left alone in such a dangerous place.

"Mountain people are considered to be relatively intelligent among the monsters. Generally, low-level mountain people are also very good at cooperating to catch prey..." Lingling said.

“Did this big purple lime tree summon them?” Mo Fan asked.

"It's hard to say. The big purple linden tree usually provides a relatively stable habitat for some relatively neutral creatures. For example, the big purple linden tree will not accept monsters like the mountain man who eat two or three living things a day." Lingling said.

“But speaking of which, we heard a lot of screams before, and it felt like the whole team was in danger. But after all the journey, if we really count them, these corpses seem to be just a living person…” said Mo Fan.

Lin Ran said at this time: "It is true that we have not seen the people who went with us being killed."

"I say, you guys are too bold. You still have the mind to discuss this at this time. I guess the rest of the people might have been eaten by those things!" Chen Binbin recovered at this time and said with a pale face.

"I just find it very strange..." Mo Fan said.

While they were discussing, there was a sudden movement in the bushes. Everyone, who were already frightened to the point of being on edge, immediately turned their heads, and the colorful star tracks and star maps on their bodies suddenly lit up.

However, a girl with a very slim figure and dressed very beautifully came out. Everyone looked and found that it was Hu Duo!
She was still in a trance and hadn't recovered from the shock. But when she saw everyone looking at her in shock, she said in fear, "What...what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Didn't you encounter anything?" Mo Fan felt something was very wrong and asked hurriedly.

"No, I'm just a little scared. I just walked here alone and thought I was lost. It's not like Chen Binbin didn't wait for me..." Hu Duo said.

"But...but we just heard your screams..." Zhong Mi said with some disbelief.

"I didn't make any sound because I was afraid of attracting something, so I kept covering my mouth..." Hu Duo was also full of confusion at this time.

Mo Fan looked at Lingling as if to confirm something. When he saw the wide eyes on Lingling's face, he knew what was going on.

Looking at Lin Ran again, this guy also looked at him.

“Maybe Guo Muzhuang and the thin man have fallen into a trap!” Mo Fan said.

“What on earth is going on???” Wang Hua was completely confused.

"The mountain people might imitate our human voices. Something might happen to Guo Muzhuang and the thin man!" Lingling said with certainty at this time.

"I'll go find them." Lin Ran said. If he didn't go, they would definitely die. He could also find Zhao Manyan and verify his idea.
