Chapter 27: Lying about strength?

Thinking of Lingling's reaction, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.

Could it be?

She didn't even turn on the computer.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan revealed a playful smile, finally catching the weakness of this proud little girl.

He adjusted his voice and said in a very upright tone: "Are you not slacking off? Or maybe you haven't even turned on your computer, so you are questioning me here."

Lingling's voice did not come from the headset, but the sound of hurried running reached Lu Xuan's ears.

After a few minutes, Lingling's voice resounded, and she said calmly, "Who said I didn't see it? I was just picking up something and didn't see it."

From Lingling's voice and perfunctory explanation, Lu Xuan could tell at a glance that this girl must have just turned on the computer and was pretending to be calm.

"Lingling, how can you do this? You should take the commission seriously. Isn't this what you taught me? Why are you like this now?"

Lu Xuan continued to speak and began to preach to him.

"Rookie hunter, stop talking about this and go and execute the commission." Lingling was sitting in front of the computer in the hotel, her face puffed up like an angry pufferfish.

"Okay, you are the commander this time, I will go now."

Seeing that the little girl was resisting fiercely, Lu Xuan decided not to provoke her anymore. If he continued like this, the other party would probably get angry and might even come over to bite him after the commission was over. He didn't want to experience this kind of thing.

But teasing Lingling also made him feel much happier.

He then stepped out of the open space where he was and headed towards the dense forest deep in the mountains.

Before he had walked for long, he heard a hissing sound coming from the woods ahead.

Lu Xuan felt overjoyed and moved closer to the direction of the unusual sound, looking towards the top of a large tree with a diameter of one or two meters.

A ten-meter-long green snake coiled on a thick branch. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and illuminated the entire body of the snake. The neatly arranged green scales also became shiny because of the sunlight.

The green snake seemed to have sensed the scope of its territory. When someone stepped into it, it raised its huge head and stared at the direction where Lu Xuan was with its emerald green vertical pupils.

It was spitting out its core, and a dangerous atmosphere was spreading throughout the forest.

"Lu Xuan, run quickly. This is a general-level Green Ivy Python. The scales covering its body are extremely hard. It is difficult for a mid-level magician to break through its defense. Don't fight and just run away."

At this time, Lingling saw the full appearance of the monster through the camera on Lu Xuan's chest and immediately reminded him.

"Why are you running?" Lu Xuan said lightly.

He didn't quite agree with Lingling's proposal. He chose this commission just for this reason. If he was asked to leave now, wouldn't that be like throwing away food that was within his reach?

Can he do this?
He only had a few general-level rations, whether they were residual souls or essence souls, which were extremely scarce.

"What did you say?" Lingling's voice was a little choppy for a moment, and then she started to criticize him, "You are just a mid-level lightning mage, facing a general-level demon. If you don't run away, will it run away? Have you forgotten what I told you before you left?"

She didn't understand what Lu Xuan was thinking. A mid-level junior magician had no chance of winning against a war demon. Even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory. Getting injured in a place like this was not a good thing.

"Yes, it should be it that runs away when it sees me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the green vine python on the branch was fired from the branch like a cannonball. Crack!

The powerful force made the entire tree tremble. The joint between the branch where the Green Ivy Python was originally located and the trunk was directly broken, and the leaves could not stop falling to the ground, just like snow.

"Lu Xuan, get out of the way quickly. If you get hit, you're done for."

Lingling didn't care at all about Lu Xuan's shocking words just now. Although she hated this guy, she didn't want to see him die like this.

"Well done."

Not only did Lu Xuan not follow Lingling's suggestion, but he took the initiative to approach the Green Ivy Python.

Lingling was watching through the camera, and saw that the image on the computer was getting closer and closer to the Green Ivy Python. Was this partner, who had just formed a team with her on the first day, going to die like this?
She turned her head away, not daring to look at what happened next for a moment.

However, as Lu Xuan rushed forward, lightning instantly surrounded his body, and a lightning spear appeared in his hand. He raised his arm and aimed at the huge head of the Green Ivy Python.

The moment the two came into contact, the Green Ivy Python's head exploded instantly, and blood splattered everywhere.

The blood flew towards Lu Xuan and was directly evaporated by the surrounding lightning. He passed through the blood and landed steadily on the ground without any dirt on his clothes.

The headless Green Ivy Python's huge body fell directly from mid-air to the ground. The fallen leaves on the ground were shaken up by this giant and flew up again, fluttering in the air.

Lu Xuan dispersed the lightning around him, turned around and looked at the slowly falling leaves. The sunlight passed through the gaps between them, and the light and shadow kept interweaving on his body.

He watched with a very calm expression as a light spot belonging to the Green Ivy Python slowly rose on its huge body and was absorbed by the Frog Pendant.

He felt the mass of the light spot and felt a little regretful, as it was just a remnant soul.

Lingling in the hotel had turned her head away, but after hearing a loud noise, no other sound was heard, which made her feel a little strange.

With a nervous mood, she slowly turned her little head and saw a scene that surprised her. Her eyes couldn't help but widen.

A headless green vine python, its huge corpse lying quietly on the ground, covered with some leaves.

"Lu Xuan, what's going on? What did you do?" Lingling asked.

Her head is full of question marks now. How could an intermediate-level lightning mage deal with a general-level demon so easily?
This dealt a great blow to her common sense.

"Isn't it just that I killed a general-level demon? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Lu Xuan was a little confused. Considering Lingling's identity and background, this should just be a small scene.

Is it necessary for a general-level warrior to do this?
"Just a general level? How can you, a junior intermediate level, say such a thing in such a bland tone?"

Facing Lu Xuan's indifference, Lingling seemed a little uneasy.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly called up the screen on her computer.

On the computer screen, there was a flash of lightning, and Lu Xuan was holding a lightning spear and beheading the green vine python.

"Lu Xuan, you actually came to the hunting ground and lied about your own strength."

With Lingling's knowledge, she recognized at a glance that the lightning spear move that Lu Xuan used just now was an ability only high-level magicians possess.
