Chapter 39 Cries for Help from the Cave
The group quickly arrived at the mission location, where they found a cave that had indeed been created later.
Looking inside, it was pitch black, as if it had swallowed up all light.
Hua Yu stood at the cave entrance, releasing waves of sound that probed into the deepest part of the cave.
The cave was very deep, and even Hua Yu's sound waves could not explore it completely. However, in his perception, there were only some servant-level demons in the first half of the cave, and they did not pose a threat.
As for the second half, Hua Yu can only continue to explore further after the team enters.
"Xiao Liu, lead the way. Xiao Li, Guangyao." Zhang Ying quickly gave the order, waving his hand to signal everyone to move forward.
In terms of formation, there is nothing special about it; it is still the formation commonly used by military mages.
The wind mage acts as the scout, the earth mage covers the rear, and the water mage and damage-dealing mage provide support in the center.
In this environment, a light-element mage can effectively use his flashlight, illuminating a large area of the road ahead with a single burst of light.
Hua Yu walked in the middle of the group with a backpack on his back. Inside the backpack, of course, was the gluttonous little green dragon.
The little green dragon wasn't as convenient as Mo Fan's little mudfish pendant; Hua Yu had to release it so that it could absorb the remnants of the demons' souls after their deaths.
This is quite troublesome. The little green dragon and the little winged silver lion are still in their infancy and their bodies are not very large yet. But after a while, when they enter their juvenile stage, Hua Yu will no longer be able to carry them and will not be able to keep them by her side all the time.
Just like the little silver lion cub now, it is only one month old, but its size is already more than twice that of the original.
"Military Intelligence Bureau, there's movement ahead."
Just then, Xiao Liu, the wind mage at the front of the group, reminded those behind him.
"Continue the reconnaissance; the rest of you, prepare for battle."
After giving the order, Zhang Ying suddenly noticed that Hua Yu hadn't moved at all. He frowned and questioned, "Hua Yu, why aren't you releasing your summoned beast? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the demon to be on your face before you release it?"
Lacking any combat awareness or wilderness survival experience, this is why military mages and hunter mages dislike having disciples from noble families or students in their teams.
Being too inexperienced, even though there may be an extra person in the team, actually lowers the overall quality of the team.
If it were one of his own summoning mages, Zhang Ying would have already had his summoned beasts lead the way at the front of the group.
"I'm sorry, my summoned beast is a bit too big, so it can't be used properly here," Hua Yu explained.
Although the cave is quite wide, it is still not suitable for the Thunderfire Twin Apes to come out and fight, given their size.
"What about the contracted beast?" Zhang Ying asked again.
"Too small." Hua Yu shrugged, somewhat helplessly.
"So, your major is basically useless here?"
"That's pretty much the situation." Hua Yu smiled somewhat awkwardly.
In terms of strength, it can easily defeat everyone here, but if its sound-based abilities are not exposed, its summoning abilities are useless here, and it seems that it can only use its spatial abilities.
Seeing this, Zhang Ying didn't want to say anything more. He guessed that this was just another guy trying to embellish his resume. After telling Hua Yu not to run around, he started directing the others.
Under Xiao Liu's investigation, the demons ahead quickly revealed themselves to be a group of slave-level vampire bats.
"Be careful, don't get bitten by these scumbags."
The moment Zhang Ying saw the vampire bats, he described their characteristics.
Vampire bats are social monsters that prefer damp, dark caves. They hunt by ambush and are not very strong, but their fangs contain venom. When they bite their prey, they inject the venom into the prey's body, rendering it unable to fight.
Xiao Li threw out another burst of light, illuminating the area as if it were daytime, making it easier for everyone to fight.
Demons are extremely sensitive to the aura of magic, because they know that the appearance of magic means that something threatening their lives is coming.
Xiao Li's radiance acted as an attack signal, and in an instant, the surrounding vampire bats relentlessly swarmed towards the group.
"Water Defense. Circulation!"
The only female mage in the group took the initiative, with strands of water-based silk wrapping around everyone, forming a protective shield.
"Let's finish this quickly and not linger here."
As Zhang Ying spoke, he casually tossed a few fireballs around him.
With his cultivation level, he could easily wield such basic magic, requiring very little casting time.
The flames exploded, and with each burst of red light, a large number of vampire bats were killed.
Hua Yu didn't make a move; he simply stood aside and watched the others unleash their magic. For these military mages, dealing with these lowly demons was far too easy, and they didn't need him to do anything at all.
Although no action was taken, there were still gains, with a large number of remnant souls gathering in the backpack behind Hua Yu.
"Squeak~"
"Xiao Liu, be careful!" Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out.
Xiao Liu was positioned at the very front of the group, making him an easy target for the vampire bats. At that moment, a warrior-level vampire bat hidden in the darkness suddenly flew out and attacked him.
By the time Zhang Ying saw it, it was too late; he wanted to help but couldn't get there in time.
"Spatial Rhythm. Compression!"
Just when Xiao Liu was in despair, Hua Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly made his move, a silver glint flashing in his eyes.
In the void, an invisible small space immediately trapped the vampire bat that wanted to launch a sneak attack, and then a powerful pressure came.
"squeak!"
The vampire bat quickly succumbed to the pressure and transformed into a bloody, freshly dried bat within the diamond-shaped silver space square!
As Hua Yu released the spatial power, a weightless bat trunk floated lightly in front of Xiao Liu.
"this?"
Zhang Ying's eyes widened suddenly. He first looked at Hua Yu in disbelief, then turned to look at the demon's corpse on the ground.
A mid-level spell so easily defeated a warrior-level demon?
Is the space system really that powerful?
"Stop looking. If you like it, I'll make a few more for you to take back and keep as a souvenir, how about that?" Hua Yu smiled slightly, made a grabbing motion in the air, and sent the dried bat to Zhang Ying.
"Hmph! You're not bad, kid."
Zhang Ying snorted coldly and casually flicked his wrist, burning the corpse in front of him.
The battle that followed proceeded without incident, and the group quickly dealt with the vampire bats and continued deeper into the cave.
As they went deeper, Huayu's sound wave detection range also increased.
"Is anyone there? Help me!"
A faint sound came, and Hua Yu's eyes widened suddenly.
That sound.
is her!
