Chapter 1300: Shao Ru, the Sound Maga

“There, watch where my Brilliant Light is!” a woman yelled.

The Brilliant Light flew across the sea of grass and landed on a swaying stalk of Yu Grass. Underneath it was a ghastly creature, whose eyes widened in disbelief!

The Hillman was waiting for its target to move closer. It already had its eyes on a slim Maga with tender skin and could not wait to have a taste of her. It never thought the humans could locate it when it was staying perfectly still. The blinding light immediately revealed its silhouette in the darkness!

“Where do you think you are running to!?”

“Die!”

The Battlemages cooperated with perfect synergy and surrounded the Hillman in no time!

A soldier with the Plant Element quickly tossed binding roots forward with a sharp gaze. The roots firmly tangled the legs of the Hillman.

The Hillman tried to break free from the roots, but the surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly. Small pieces of ice gathered around the creature like they were being attracted to a magnet, forming a layer of frost on it.

The Hillman’s speed was greatly reduced. A few destructive spells followed and broke through the Hillman’s defense, inflicting serious damage on it.

“Kill it!” the Sound Maga said.

“Affirmative!”

The Battlemages decisively killed the Hillman and retrieved its tusks.

They were collecting the Hillmen’s tusks were first because the tusks were valuable, and second because it was a symbol of avenging the humans that these Hillmen had killed. They had brutally slaughtered many Mages on Mount Kunyu. It was necessary to teach these demon creatures that humans were not something they could slaughter as they wished. They were keeping the tusks that the Hillmen were proud of to let them have a piece of the humiliation and terror they were applying to the victims!

“Found a corpse here!”

“Here too!”

The Battlemages soon found the remains of a few Hunters close to the spot where the Hillman was hiding. Most of the corpses were no longer intact.

“Take one of their belongings and bury the bodies,” the Sound Maga said.

It was impossible to bring all the corpses back, as there were too many of them. Besides, most of the bodies had been torn apart, so it would be pointless to bring them back. There was a code among the Hunters and Mages in the wild. If they could not retrieve the corpses of their fallen comrades, they would take one of their belongings for their families to identify and bury the dead bodies on the spot.

Most Hunters in the wild would carry a badge with them. It was the most effective way to identify those that had died since the badge was durable and unique to each Hunter.

As people that were constantly risking their lives at the front lines, it was the least they could do. The Battlemages could not afford to be bound by formalities. All they needed to do was to show the Hillmen how they were going to avenge the victims they had brutally killed!

“These sons of b**ches, they have killed so many…” Nie Lengshan hovered above the valley and looked into the distance of the boundless valley.

How many corpses were concealed by the tall grass? The thought alone was enough to send shivers down his spine!

“Brilliant Light!” The talented Sound Maga found traces of the Hillmen once again.

This time, she tagged a bunch of Hillmen with the Brilliant Light. The Hillmen were used to working together. Most of them would stick together in groups if they were not being overly greedy. The Brilliant Light revealed the entire group of Hillmen. The Battlemages could easily find them by following the Brilliant Light!

“Basic Spells are a lot more useful at times like this!” someone exclaimed.

“Yeah, but who exactly is the woman? She’s doing such a good job. Her senses are so sharp. Not a single Hillman within a few kilometers has managed to hide from her. Our team has already killed over three hundred Hillmen. We are having trouble carrying all the tusks!” exclaimed Wang Dabao, who was in the Sound Maga’s team.

The Leopard Head Hunter Group was assigned to the fourth team, led by a Sound Maga that was summoned here by the emergency alert. Not only did she possess outstanding cultivation, she was able to make the right calls all the time. She was hunting down the Hillmen like they were nothing but a bunch of clowns!

“I heard someone calling her Shao Ru; I believe it’s her nickname, but I’m not sure if she’s a Hunter, a member of the Magic Association, the government, or a renowned clan. She seems to be pretty famous around here,” another member of the Leopard Head Hunter Group, named Li Sikang, someone spoke up.

“So she’s Shao Ru?” someone in the team exclaimed.

Every local Mage seemed to have heard the name Shao Ru before. Their gazes at the Sound Maga with a cold personality were immediately filled with respect.

“A year ago, the Blue Ice Sea Monsters attacked a fishing village and kidnapped more than ten fishermen. Not many people dared to pursue the culprits after learning that the Blue Ice Sea Monsters were responsible. However, not long after, she went to the Blue Ice Sea Monsters’ den alone and wiped out the entire den of Blue Ice Sea Monsters! The news shocked many of the renowned clans. Many of them tried to recruit her, but she ended up rejecting every invitation. Apparently, she even beat the crap out of the second son of the Penglai Clan!” a Hunter from Yantai said.

“The second son of the Penglai Clan, Lu Wenxing? Isn’t he the strongest Mage among the younger generations in Yantai?”

“Exactly, Lu Wenxing even came third in the Hunter Competition. He’s easily one of the most talented young Mages in our country, but he still lost to Shao Ru. Many people saw it in person!”

Most people on the team were unaware of who the woman was. The others quickly spread it around when they heard it from the people that were discussing it. Who would have thought that such a cold and delicate woman would possess such remarkable strength! The men on the team no longer dared to underestimate her!

“Miss Shao, I’m utterly impressed by how observant you are. HAHAHA, we’ve managed to kill a whole bunch of Hillmen!” a captain with rough facial features said.

The captain was an Advanced Mage with over a hundred soldiers under his command. Even though they were a strong squad, they could not possibly do anything without the Sound Maga’s help.

“It’s a pity that one of them managed to get away by faking its death. It managed to sneak away into the grass when we were retrieving the tusks. By the time we realized it, it had already disappeared,” a soldier said. His gaze toward Shao Ru was oddly passionate.

“I know where it went, but another group of Hunters around three kilometers away is in trouble. We should head over at once,” Shao Ru turned in the direction of the moon. The moonlight sprinkled on the grass like a thin layer of makeup, setting off the elegant temperament of the mysterious and powerful Maga. The men on the team could feel their hearts itching.

“We should hurry, let’s hope we can make it in time to save them!” the captain said.

The captain immediately led the way while the Leopard Head Hunter Group followed.

“I believe our team is the most efficient so far…”

“Of course! Let’s keep it up. We might be able to make a name for our Leopard Head Hunter Group if we do well in this operation!” Wang Dabao proclaimed, in high spirits.

It was rare to have a chance to work together with a reputable Maga like Shao Ru!

The teams proceeded to hunt down the Hillmen. With the help of the Sound Mages, the Hillmen had no chance of escaping. The number of Hillmen that were preying on the Hunters gradually fell. The Hunter Groups were also evacuated from the valley to prevent further casualties.

However, the teams still discovered lots of corpses in horrible conditions along the way. They were infuriated every time they saw the brutal deaths the victims had suffered!

The Hillmen had to die!

“Someone is screaming for help in this direction. It sounds like a big group!” Shao Ru said.

“This way?” the captain asked.

Shao Ru nodded.

“Brothers, follow me to the rescue!” the captain left with a hundred elites.

“There are people in this direction too. There aren’t many, but we must save them too,” Shao Ru pointed in another direction.

“Shao Ru, these Hillmen can mimic our voices. Please be mindful of it when you hear the screams for help!” The teacher, Mr. Gao, was also on the team.

“Yeah, Brother Mo Fan who was the first to find out the Hillmen’s conspiracy told us so. The Hillmen are very cunning and intelligent. We shouldn’t walk into their traps,” Liu Xiaojia’s senior said.

“I’m aware of that!” Shao Ru said confidently. She looked in another direction and said to Mr. Gao, “I need you to head there with a team to save the survivors.”

“Got it!”

“Leopard Head Hunter Group, there are seven Hillmen a kilometer away from us. My Brilliant Light will chase after them. I’ll leave them in your hands,” Shao Ru calmly instructed.

“Don’t worry, we’ll make sure to take them all out!”

“There are a lot more Hillmen around here. It looks like we’re getting closer to their den.”

—

The members of the fourth team split up to rescue the survivors and kill the Hillmen. They followed Shao Ru’s instructions and the guidance of her Brilliant Light with great discipline. They did not panic despite the confusing terrain in the sea of grass.

A strange voice was heard coming from the bushes nearby. Shao Ru frowned and scanned her surroundings, on high alert.

A Hillman taller than the ones they had encountered so far suddenly appeared from behind Shao Ru. The creature looked even scarier when it revealed its bronze tusks!

Shao Ru was taken by surprise. She did not expect a Hillman would be able to escape the detection of her Sound Element!

The Bronze-Fang Hillman attacked at a crazy speed. The soldiers that were protecting Shao Ru could not react in time. Its sharp paws swept fiercely at her chest.

Shao Ru barely reacted in time. However, her shoulder was still sliced open. She almost lost her arm!

Fresh blood poured out from the wound. The Bronze-Fang Hillman was not done yet. It swung its other paw down at Shao Ru’s leg as she was dodging aside, trying to drag her back!

Once the creature dragged Shao Ru back, it would obviously stab its tusks through her. However, Shao Ru was having trouble dodging the grab!

“Tone: Kill!”

Shao Ru cast a Sound Spell in the nick of time. The sonic wave whipped the savage Bronze-Fang Hillman hard…

Shao Ru quickly drew her legs back as the Bronze-Fang Hillman was knocked off-balance briefly. To her surprise, the Bronze-Fang Hillman still managed to swipe its paw down, leaving a long bloody wound down her leg with its claws!
