Chapter 895 Choosing Your Own Name

At this moment, Tianyu was still being chased and shouting. When Yaolan saw this, she used her body as an axis to make her three-zhang double-headed four-bladed giant axe spin rapidly, spinning dozens of times in an instant, and then she suddenly threw the giant axe out!
The giant axe, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, flew close to the ground. When it was almost at Tianyu's feet, it suddenly leaped upwards. The axe blade emitted a dazzling golden light, like a huge golden halo, directly cleaving the avian dragon in two!
The giant axe veered in mid-air and flew towards Yaolan again. The surrounding shamans immediately scattered in panic. If Yaolan were to lose her grip even slightly and be grazed by the axe's blade, she would be cleaved in two—this was no joke.

Yao Lan didn't even look, casually grabbing the spinning giant axe, which came to a steady stop in her hand. A burst of energy erupted from her body, sending even the slower-moving Li Wu tumbling over.

Wei Yuan stood motionless. His physical body was strong and his size was small, so the air waves could not stir him up, just as a strong wind could not lift a weight.

Yao Lan looked at Wei Yuan and smiled even more brightly, saying, "I really didn't expect that although you're thin, you're actually quite sturdy. You're like an iron toothpick!"

Wei Yuan found this praise somewhat grating.

At this moment, the two bird-dragons in the air saw their companion being killed and cried out in alarm, then slowly fled.

The dinosaur, now split in two, was incredibly resilient. It kept adjusting itself in mid-air, trying to piece itself back together. Hot blood cascaded down like a waterfall, soaking Tianyu and instantly burning him until his entire body was smoking, causing him to scream in agony.

This blood is a good thing… Wei Yuan thought to himself, and then let out two howls. Two bursts of magical power shot out with the wild roars, sealing the wounds of the avian dragon.

However, this spell, after being improved by Wei Yuan, is not a simple seal. Instead, it expands while sealing, continuously drawing blood out of the avian dragon's body.

Yao Lan shook her head and said, "Your two cries are indeed quite exquisite, but they're a bit too childish, sounding like a little kitten, not even as good as a puppy! That's how you use the Wild Roar, watch it!"

Yao Lan looked around and saw the only surviving wild insect, desperately trying to escape. She took a deep breath, opening all nine of her breathing pores, and the temperature within a hundred feet of her body dropped rapidly, feeling as if it were the dead of winter.

Yao Lan absorbed all the spiritual energy and magical power of the surrounding world in one breath, and then she roared at the desolate insect!
In an instant, Wei Yuan only saw her open her mouth, but he could no longer hear any sound!

A series of halos appeared before her mouth, disappearing into the distance and instantly catching up with the savage worm! The savage worm's tail suddenly flared up, then expanded and exploded, instantly losing a third of its body!

The worm cried out in agony as it dragged its broken body away, but everyone knew it was doomed.

Wei Yuan still couldn't hear anything. He reached out and touched his ear; his hand was warm and wet, and his eardrums had actually ruptured. However, Wei Yuan adjusted his body slightly and switched to receiving sound through his skull, finally regaining his hearing.

Wei Yuan suddenly saw a surge of fortune descend from the sky and land on Yao Lan.

This aura of fortune actually came from Tianyu, while the other power-wielding shamans in the arena had no fortune at all. Wei Yuan then realized that this shocking scene was probably Yaolan's routine operation, something the other shamans were already used to.

Now that the smoke of battle had cleared and the dust had settled, Yaolan said, "Come back with me!"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "No, without my help, Tianyu won't survive a single episode... or even a single day."

Yao Lan sighed softly and said, "You're quite nice. Could it be that I'm starting to like you? Alright, the Flame Demon is cunning but also cautious. There shouldn't be any more attacks on the road. I still have duties at the fortress and can't get away, otherwise I would accompany you to the frontier. You can come back to see me anytime you miss me."

"I will."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yaolan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then it's settled! Don't lie to me!"

Wei Yuan, with his keen senses, immediately sensed a causal force landing on him, and it was quite firmly anchored. Yao Lan glanced at Wei Yuan's small frame and said, "Little Craftsman God, it doesn't matter if you're ugly, but you have to be ugly with spirit, ugly with vigor and vitality! We Power Shamans must be bold and unrestrained, loud, powerful, and potent! Supernatural abilities must also keep up, the more the better..."

As she said this, Yaolan patted the breathing hole on her chest. It was usually closed, but just now, with that wild roar, it also emitted a thin sound that directly pierced through the wild insect.

"Once you've earned enough military merit, I'll go and retrieve those top-tier components from the fortress's storage and install them all on you!"

Wei Yuan had no choice but to thank her for her kindness and wave goodbye to Yao Lan. The surrounding shamans looked at him with envy, jealousy, and incomprehension.

The shamans are all straightforward. Before Yaolan arrived, Wei Yuan had saved the lives of all of them. So even though they couldn't understand why the city flower would fall for the greyhound, they couldn't bring themselves to hate Wei Yuan.

After a brief cleanup, the convoy set off again. The team leader, Li Wu, had handed over command to Wei Yuan, and the entire team of Li Wu were completely convinced of Wei Yuan's abilities. After all, they were evenly matched with the Flame Demons in one-on-one combat, while Wei Yuan had killed dozens of Flame Demons in the blink of an eye—a feat that was more than enough to convince everyone.

Tianyu, who was the most seriously injured, was drenched in the blood of the avian dragon. His elaborate but impractical armor was completely burned away, and almost all of his skin was corroded away, revealing the flesh beneath.

Such injuries are extremely painful, but fortunately, they are not fatal to Li Wu. The skin will grow back after a day or two of pain. Tian Yu is quite tough, enduring the pain without making a sound. However, she cannot speak to Wei Yuan, as she will want to howl if she opens her mouth. She can only communicate with her divine sense.

They traveled in silence, and the Flame Demon did not launch another surprise attack. Several days later, a small hill appeared on the horizon, and on the hill stood a ravaged fortress.

The fortress gates were open, and dozens of witches stood at the entrance. The leader, a wild witch, had a body as hard as iron and short, thick legs, the diameter of which was almost equal to its length.

He glanced at the convoy, seemingly surprised, and said, "You guys are really lucky to have come all this way unscathed? Didn't you encounter any ambushes?"

The team leader, Li Wu, said, "We encountered a deadly ambush, but Miss Yao Lan escorted us for a while and managed to catch up with the battle, killing a avian dragon and two wild insects. In addition..."

"So it's Yaolan." The shaman nodded, took the roster from the leader, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "There's even a weapon-refining master?! Which one is it?"

Wei Yuan stepped forward, his entire body tense. This desolate sorcerer was unlike any he had ever seen before; his entire body was solid as iron, perfectly integrated, and there was no trace of his inner world emanating from him.

The shaman looked at Wei Yuan, then at the register, and then back at Wei Yuan, asking, "What crime have you committed?"

Wei Yuan pointed at Tianyu and said, "I am innocent; I just came with a friend."

The shaman gave Wei Yuan a deep look and said, "Most of the power shamans who can get here are brainless. You may have some brains, but it would be better if you didn't."

Before Wei Yuan could reply, the Wild Witch turned around and roared at the warrior warriors behind him, "We've finally found a master craftsman, but this fool came voluntarily, he's not a criminal. I don't need to explain what a master craftsman means! From now on, until all the shamans in the fortress are dead, I want him alive!"

The powerful shamans roared in unison, shaking the city walls and causing soil to fall.

The shaman then said to Wei Yuan, "Here, no one has a name, only a code name. But you earn your code name yourself. You're lucky that there are a few initial names available since you just arrived."

Groundhog, hamster, chipmunk—you choose one!
