C25 Five Years

The 25th chapter - Five Years

"Puchi!"

A sound of flesh penetrating could be heard. A light green transparent spear pierced through the black shadow's heart, and the blood that shot out dyed the earth guardian armor on Lin Feng's body red.

At the same time, a terrifying shriek could be heard. The Shadow Rat, Bebe, suddenly appeared beside the black shadow's wrist. Bebe's mouth was wide enough to swallow a fist, and its sharp teeth suddenly bit onto the black shadow's wrist. With a miserable shriek, the black shadow's wrist was completely bitten off.

Only a powerless broken hand holding a dagger was left on the ground.

"Ah, ah!" A broken wrist was eaten, and this kind of pain caused the black shadow to scream.

"Die!"

Lin Feng formed a claw with his fingers and grabbed at the hole in the black shadow's chest that was still bleeding.

Black Tiger Steals Heart!

"Puchi!"

The black shadow's heart was pulled out of the black shadow's chest by Lin Feng. He held it in his hand, and the blood-red heart seemed to be beating.

The light in the black shadow's eyes gradually disappeared, and his face was filled with great unwillingness.

"Luckily, I managed to keep my life." Lin Feng smiled at Bebe. He almost died this time.

At this time, De Linkewote also appeared and exclaimed, "This assassin's ability to conceal himself is really terrifying. This time, it's all thanks to this Shadow Rat and your little girlfriend. If it wasn't for them, Lin Feng, you would have died this time. I, this old man, only have my soul left. I can't even save you."

Lin Feng had learned from the original work of the Coiling Dragon that the most terrifying thing in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was the human assassins. However, he had never experienced it personally. Furthermore, he had never encountered an assassination in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for the past four years. Over time, Lin Feng had relaxed his vigilance towards assassins. He did not expect that the first time he met an assassin, it would be so dangerous. If not for the fact that he had recently broken through to the level of a Level-7 Magician and the Earthly Guardians Holy Armor had also upgraded to the Jade grade, he would have been in danger this time.

De Linkewote continued, "This assassin should be a Level-6 Warrior, but he cultivates a strange dark attribute battle energy. He should have undergone special training, and is good at sneaking and concealing his aura. A Level-6 Warrior who has undergone special training usually has stronger attack power than a normal Level-6 Warrior. The dark attribute battle energy is more strange, so he should have used some kind of secret technique to accelerate."

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He was also a Level-6 Warrior, and at the same time, he was a Level-7 Wind Magician. However, the speed of the black shadow's attack when it attacked him was not one and a half stars faster than his.

Dark attribute magic or battle energy were forbidden to be cultivated in the Holy Union. In the Four Great Empires and the Dark Alliance, they could be cultivated. It was just like how the Dark Alliance forbade cultivating light magic and light attribute battle energy.

"Boss, come quickly." The Shadow Mouse, "Bei Bei," suddenly sounded anxiously in Lin Feng's mind.

"Hmm?" Lin Feng turned his head and saw that Di Liya was lying on the ground with a pale face. He was shocked.

"Di Liya!" Lin Feng rushed to Di Liya's side and hugged her in his arms, shouting anxiously.

"Don't worry, she only suffered some backlash from the magic. It's nothing serious. She'll be fine after resting for a few days." De Linkewote's words made Lin Feng feel relieved.

Previously, Di Liya had continuously used the Floating Spell for more than ten minutes. Although the burden of the Floating Spell on her magic power and mental strength was not great, it was still a Level Five Spell. Moreover, Di Liya had just stepped into the Level Five Magician not long ago. After this exhaustion, there was not much magic power left in her body, and more than half of her mental strength had been consumed. However, seeing Lin Feng in danger, the anxious Di Liya ignored her physical condition and forcefully activated the remaining magic power and mental strength in her body to cast the Level Five Spell, "Roar of the Wind", which resulted in a backlash. That was why she fainted.

"Hu!"

Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. If something were to happen to Di Liya, would he not feel remorseful and regret it? After spending a few years together, the relationship between Lin Feng and Di Liya had become even stronger. If Lin Feng had seen through Di Liya's sweetness and cuteness, and because of the influence of the original book, he had come into contact with Di Liya. After a few years, Lin Feng had truly fallen in love with Di Liya.

Because of Di Liya's fainting, Lin Feng no longer had the interest to collect the spoils of war. He casually cleaned up the battlefield and left with Di Liya and Bebe.

It was late autumn, and the sky was getting colder and colder. Suddenly, a pure white snowflake drifted down, signifying the arrival of winter.

Fenlai City, at the entrance of the Ernst Institute!

"Eh?" Ye Lu, who was dressed in a fur coat, was about to walk into the Ernst Institute with his roommates, Qiao Zhi and Lei Nuo, when he suddenly stopped.

"Uncle Xi Erman, are you here to wait for third brother again?"

Because of Lin Feng, although Ye Lu was the young master of one of the three great merchant guilds of Yulan continent, he was very respectful to Xi Erman, who was only a level six warrior.

"Yeah, is Lin Feng back?" Xi Erman's voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Qiao Zhi walked up and sighed, "Uncle Xi Erman, Lin Feng hasn't come out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range yet. I think he will come back next year."

Qiao Zhi was also very worried about Lin Feng's safety, but he did not show it in front of Xi Erman.

"It's been five years. Lin Feng has been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for five years, and I've been here five times." Xi Erman's eyes were filled with reminiscence and disappointment, but he no longer had the anticipation from before. He shook his head desolately and muttered to himself, "Lin Feng went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range at the age of ten, and now five years have passed. He should be fifteen years old!"

Seeing that Xi Erman's tone was a little off, Lei Nuo immediately said, "Uncle Xi Erman, Third Brother will definitely be able to safely return from the Magic Beast Mountain Range. I believe in him."

Hearing that, Ye Lu and Qiao Zhi immediately agreed, "That's right. When Third Brother entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he was already a Level Five Magician. Furthermore, Third Brother's warrior cultivation is also extremely high. With the addition of his contracted magical beast, Bebe, Third Brother will be fine."

"Since that's the case, why hasn't he come back for so long?" Xi Erman said excitedly.

"Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps Third Brother wants to break through to the Level Seven Magician and then come back to apply for graduation!" Lei Nuo's eyes rolled twice as he said guiltily.

Most people would not be able to go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for more than three months, and they would at most be able to stay there for half a year. They would definitely return. Once the Magic Beast Mountain Range entered winter, all the trees would wither and the food would be scarce. In order to fill their stomachs, the magical beasts would become extremely fierce and easy to kill. In other words, the Magic Beast Mountain Range during winter was even more dangerous than other times. Perhaps from a certain perspective, Lin Feng had not returned for five years, and perhaps he would never be able to return.

At this moment, Xi Erman also realized that her words just now were a little too excited. She shook her head and said, "If Lin Feng comes back, please tell him to immediately return to Dark Mountain Town."

After saying that, Xi Erman did not stay any longer and slowly walked away.

Ye Lu looked at Xi Erman's back as she gradually disappeared into the distance. His hands clenched into fists as he gritted his teeth and said, "If Third Brother comes back, I will definitely beat him up. It's been so long since he left. Doesn't he know that we are worried about him?"

Qiao Zhi and Lei Nuo were also extremely depressed. They shook their heads and walked into the academy.
