Chapter 21: Magic Crystal Rations
“Who? Is there a strong person coming to save us!?”
Feeling that biting cold, Su Xiao Yu opened his eyes, paused for a moment, and then his face showed an expression that was both about to cry and about to laugh, “We’re alive.”
He turned to look at Liu Lin behind him, only to find that she had already fainted from exhaustion. He gently held her.
When his gaze fell again in the direction the sword Qi was coming from, that supreme silhouette was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Wings emitting black fire flapped gently, dyed white hairtails freely swaying in the air. The dagger in her hand was like a piece of mirror, flashing with specks of light.
Judging from the swaying short skirt and height from behind, it could be vaguely discerned that this was a girl.
At this moment, not only Su Xiao Yu, but all the students looked towards the sky. That sword Qi just now was too astonishing.
Fast as a startled swan, sharp as a blade’s edge!
Only people from one organization could be so powerful!
“It’s someone from the Dragon Hunters…”
“We’re saved, the Dragon Hunters are indeed all strong, their speed is so fast.”
They all regarded the figure in the sky as someone from the Dragon Hunters, cheering continuously, as if their injuries had also lessened considerably.
Being alive was more invigorating than anything.
“Awooo!”
But with the enraged howl of the lead wolf, they instantly felt as if they had fallen back into the fear of just moments ago, and a question lingered in their hearts again – there seems to be only one Dragon Hunter, can she do it?
Lin Wu broke free from the encirclement of questioning students. She glanced at the figure in the sky and then, while the wolf pack was stunned, hugged her cousin and quietly slipped into a pickup truck.
“Do you really think the Dragon Hunters are invincible? That person’s body doesn’t float on its own, she’s definitely not War General level… can one person fight off an ambush of over a dozen Scarlet Flame Wolves?”
Her face filled with mockery as she turned the key. While the engine started, she turned her head to look at the sky…
Su Jiu glanced at her younger brother holding Liu Lin under the sky, letting out a soft sigh. Seeing the fireworks appear, coupled with the strange text message, she knew something had truly happened.
It would be too late to use the Ice Dragon Transformation for such a long distance, so she directly used the Ghost Car Transformation, arriving here one step ahead of Bai Qianyu.
This was her first time using the Ghost Car Transformation in reality. Its soaring speed was almost comparable to the Qi-controlling flight of a War General.
Looking at the more than ten students in front who were still surrounded by wolves, she gently waved the dagger in her hand. Several similar ice blades, with lightning speed, accurately struck at the Scarlet Flame Wolves.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
As before, the wolf corpses were directly cut in half, with a faint chill radiating from them, telling everyone what had killed them.
This scene made all the students stunned. It was too powerful, so powerful that they didn’t know how to describe it in words.
The most shocked was Lin Wu, who was planning to flee. She herself was on the verge of advancing to High-level Warrior, so she knew clearly what the strength of that level was.
This completely subverted her understanding. A Warrior class this powerful was likely a monstrous talent trained by the Dragon Hunters to hunt those Godlike monsters.
The now free students, supporting each other, gathered together. Some quick-witted ones had already taken out their phones and filmed Su Jiu.
“When we get back, I must write a thank-you letter to the Dragon Hunters.”
“The Dragon Hunters are indeed the most powerful demon-exterminating organization in the Dragon Country. From now on, she is my goddess.”
However, it was too dark, and Su Jiu was too far away from them, so they couldn’t see her face. But this didn’t stop their admiration for their savior.
“When we get back, I’ll have Dad send a silk banner to the Dragon Hunters.”
Seeing that the lead wolf would no longer attack so easily, Su Xiao Yu carried Liu Lin to a tent that had not yet been burnt down and leaned against it. He himself went back along the original path to find his phone.
He seemed to have returned to his appearance as a pathetic child again…
“It’s not the Crimson Flame Wolf King, just an ordinary lead wolf. Killing it shouldn’t take long.”
In the night sky, smelling the scent of blood from below, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she charged towards the lead wolf in a swooping dive.
The lead wolf’s expression strangely showed fear. It crouched down, its tail tucked low, a posture indicating submission and loyalty.
“Heh heh… you ate someone, and now you want to beg for mercy?” Su Jiu sneered, her speed not decreasing but increasing.
After transforming, Su Jiu could even see the hair and minced meat in its mouth. The saber light flashed in her hand, and she passed directly through the wolf’s body, landing on the nearby bushes.
In just an instant, the lead wolf was vanquished, and this Scarlet Flame Wolf pack of over twenty announced its complete annihilation.
Looking at the wolf corpses, Su Jiu decided to leave first. Otherwise, if her immense power were discovered, it would still cause a lot of trouble.
Just as she was about to leave, the E Huo on her left hand trembled slightly, bouncing onto the lead wolf’s corpse. It gently swayed on its forehead, biting it with its still baby teeth.
“Could this be the Magic Crystal from the novels? But aren’t those only possessed by War Generals?”
As if thinking of something, Su Jiu frowned, pried open the wolf’s head with the dagger in her hand, revealing a fiery red crystal the size of a thumbnail, which was the Magic Crystal Su Jiu was talking about.
“It’s probably the influence of the dragon egg. This wolf should have been close to evolving into a Wolf King.”
Su Jiu’s face showed a pleased expression as she picked up the crystal. Despite its small size, this thing was very expensive. One like this could sell for as much as five hundred thousand.
Because besides being used to speed up cultivation, its most important function was to enhance bloodline strength. Even better Magic Crystals could cause the user’s bloodline to mutate.
“Ooh.”
Before Su Jiu could even warm it, she felt a sense of moisture on her hand. E Huo, living up to its name, directly jumped onto Su Jiu’s hand and swallowed the crystal with incredible speed.
“Delicious… thank you, Mommy.”
Su Jiu blinked subconsciously, looking at the empty space between her fingers. Her body trembled slightly. Five hundred thousand was gone?!
Don’t be fooled by her being the mayor’s daughter; her allowance wasn’t much. Su Xiao Yu’s abundant money didn’t come from Su Xing Guo, but from their grandfather, Su Zhou.
Since Su Jiu pretended to be lazy, that old man had disliked her, finding her embarrassing in front of his old friends.
“E Huo!”
Her tone suddenly rose, and she said with a serious expression the most spineless words: “Can you spit it out? I’m begging you.”
“Don’t worry, Mommy, I don’t need to eat for a long time. And if I eat five more stones like this, I’ll be able to evolve.”
E Huo’s soft voice appeared in Su Jiu’s mind again. Her words made Su Jiu pause slightly. Su Jiu turned her head and looked at her quietly, her eyes filled with extreme grievance.
“You mean, others eat pet food, but you want to eat this stuff? You better tell me that ‘long time’ means a year, otherwise, even selling me wouldn’t be enough to feed you.”
“Wuwu~ I don’t know…” E Huo turned back into a bracelet, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance, “I’ll try my best not to be hungry.”
Su Jiu stood up and left. Looking at the satisfied E Huo in her hand, she sighed softly, “It seems I have to follow the Male Protagonist’s old path, otherwise, I really can’t afford to raise this thing.”
