Chapter 21 Because this pig, no, this wolf, can't think in a roundabout way
"Chief Instructor, don't worry. The demon didn't eat anyone. Everyone is still inside. But the demon seems to have escaped. I just don't know where it has gone now."
Seeing Zhan Kong about to rush into the cave, Mu Bai quickly grabbed him and explained.
"What, what? I told you that the Phantom Wolf Beast shouldn't hurt anyone. It seems that Bai Yang still has some sense and managed to control his summoned beast in the end!"
Zhan Kong said with lingering fear, it’s good that no students were injured or killed.
"Ah? A summoned beast?"
Mu Bai was stunned. After all this time, he realized that this was all a trap. He was defeated by a summoned beast.
"Hehe, you guys are not bad. At least you still have the strength to escape. Many beginner mages can't even escape when they encounter monsters for the first time!"
Zhan Kong smiled and patted Mu Bai's shoulder gently. He had also seen what happened just now. Mu Bai was not bad. If he was not from the Mu family, Zhan Kong would really like to recruit him into the military mage.
But his smile quickly froze again.
"Oh no! My bracelet, my magic tool, my money!"
"Forget it, as long as there are no casualties!"
Zhan Kong's expression suddenly became calm again. His mood was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. It was only when he saw Mo Fan and the others walking out of the cave that he finally felt relieved.
"When we get back, I'm going to praise Bai Yang. His summoned beast will also receive a prize..."
"I'm sorry, Chief Instructor. You may praise Bai Yang, but that Phantom Wolf will never get the chance to receive your award!"
Xu Fan's voice came from the cave, interrupting Zhan Kong's plan.
"You can't lead this ghost wolf away, but you can carry it on your back!"
Xu Fan finally emerged completely from the darkness, and everyone saw that Xu Fan was holding one of the legs of the ghost wolf beast in his hand. The rustling sound along the way was the sound of dragging the ghost wolf beast and rubbing it on the ground.
Xu Fan loosened his hand and threw the Phantom Wolf to the ground. On the surface, the Phantom Wolf did not seem to have a single scratch on it, but Zhan Kong could tell at a glance that the Phantom Wolf had already lost its life.
Even the remnant of his spirit has dissipated. I'm afraid Bai Yang over there won't have the chance to accept his praise.
At this time, Xu Fan was holding a bracelet in his other hand, which was the bounty item for this mission. Seeing this, Zhan Kong's face darkened again.
“Wow, hahahahaha, Brother Xu you’re awesome. I was wondering why you suddenly released the light. Turns out you wanted to blind the demon and then crash it into the cliff and die!”
"And you have completed the chief instructor's mission. That defensive magic tool is now yours!"
Zhang Xiaohou quickly imagined Xu Fan's behavior. He jumped up happily, while Zhan Kong's face darkened when he heard it.
Zhan Kong went forward to check the cause of death of the Phantom Wolf Beast, but just as he approached the Phantom Wolf Beast, his nose twitched and his face suddenly changed.
"Have you seen any other strange things, like black monkeys or something?"
Zhan Kong stared at the few people with sharp eyes. He was very sure that this stench was the unique smell of the black beast. His wind wings had previously blown away the air here and also swept away the smell.
"No, there is only this ghost wolf beast inside!"
Everyone nodded and said that they didn't see anything else, and they didn't even know how the Phantom Wolf died.
Zhan Kong rushed directly into the cave, only to find that the smell was stronger only at the front end of the cave, but the stench disappeared at the innermost part.
Zhan Kong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Bai Yang had nothing to do with the Black Church. However, he still couldn't let his guard down. He had to observe more carefully from now on!
"That's good! Now you can gather and return to the post station!"
Zhan Kong did not intend to tell this matter, and the search for the black beast monster would be left to the military. Before leaving, Zhan Kong checked the injuries of the ghost wolf beast, and it was indeed killed by a broken neck bone, but he still felt something was strange, and then he did not think much about it, and flew back to the post station carrying the body of the ghost wolf beast.
It was several days later when Bai Yang woke up, and the students who had been training finally returned to the post station under the guidance of their teacher in the dark.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, there is no way my Phantom Wolf Beast would crash headfirst into the mountain wall and kill itself!"
Bai Yang shouted in disbelief after listening to Zhan Kong's account of what happened.
"Boss, just tell me the truth. I won't blame you even if you accidentally use too much force and kill the Phantom Wolf!"
Bai Yang said sincerely, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the incident of the black beast was not linked to him.
"I'm telling the truth. It really did die from a head-on collision. Maybe it was because of the pig. No, I mean this ghost wolf beast doesn't have the ability to think in a trance!"
"And I've brought the body of the Phantom Wolf Beast with me. You can do an autopsy or you can keep it!"
Zhan Kong sighed, and then seemed to have thought of something.
"Of course this Phantom Wolf has already been hunted by someone else. If you want to collect it, you must pay enough money!"
Bai Yang lost a summoned beast, and not only did all his previous investment go down the drain, he himself was also severely injured by the backlash of his soul. He might not be able to make any progress in half a year.
Zhan Kong suffered a greater loss as a piece of defensive magic equipment cost hundreds of thousands. However, he was not a person who would cheat, and he readily gave the sickle-bone shield that he had bought with great effort to Xu Fan.
only--
“Hoohoo—you’re really strong, you managed to snatch the magic tool from my hand!”
"I would believe you if you said you strangled this Phantom Wolf to death!"
Zhan Kong rubbed his hands and smiled, then handed Xu Fan a bank card with an amount of money equivalent to the value of the Phantom Wolf Beast.
"Hehe, thank you, Chief Instructor. If you need such good things next time, please come to me!"
Xu Fan took advantage of the situation and saluted Zhan Kong with a standard military salute, which made Zhan Kong feel moved.
"If you are willing to join the military magician, I can take you with me. I believe that in a few years, you will be able to sit in my position!"
Zhan Kong said seriously that no matter whether Xu Fan had hidden other things or not, just what he showed was enough for him to recruit him.
"My situation is special, I'm afraid I can't stay in one place for a long time, but if I get tired one day, it wouldn't be bad to come back here!"
Xu Fan did not say anything definite. If he really reached a dead end one day, the military magician might be his last amulet.
"Haha, then I'll prepare some good wine and wait for your arrival!"
Zhan Kong laughed loudly, and then walked towards the other people with outstanding performance. If even just one of these people was willing to join the military magician, he would be happy for several days.
Unfortunately, after lobbying, only Zhang Xiaohou and his girlfriend were somewhat interested, but in the end they decided to give it more thought because of their studies.
At this point, the first training of the new mages has been successfully completed, and they will now return to their normal training.
As Xu Fan expected, he was unable to use the defensive magic tool, and in the end he could only sell it to Mo Fan at 80% of the market price.
Mo Fan worked hard for half a year, and not only did all the money he earned go to Xu Fan, he also owed a huge debt.
Mo Fan secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to earn money in the next half semester and try to settle the account before the New Year!
