Chapter 515: It’s better to ask for others than to ask for yourself


    Qiutong thought for a while and said, "I''d better go to the school first. The main reason is that enrollment in ordinary schools has ended now. If I don''t go to Houde, I will have to stay at home for another year. By then, my dad will have to take care of things again." Just marry me off."


    "Alright."


    The two of them continued walking along the street and encountered four shadow demons one after another, but they were all killed by Malu using his illumination technique.


    After walking half a street, the two encountered an air wall again, and had no choice but to turn back to the bank. Ma Lu felt a little tired, so he climbed to the top floor and found a place to rest where he had a wide view and could easily see the enemy. After a while, I recovered some of the mental energy consumed by casting the spell.


    He slept for about twenty minutes. When he woke up, he felt that the drowsiness in his head had eased a lot. He stretched out and asked Qiu Tong, who was on guard at the side, "Is the rescue coming?"


    "No," Qiutong shook his head, "I didn''t see anyone else."


    Malu didn''t know what happened at the Talisman Masters Association, which resulted in the delay in the rescue that was supposed to appear.


    However, after his search and cleanup during this period, the number of shadow demons in this area has obviously decreased a lot, and he couldn''t come across one even if he walked for a long time.


    Malu decided to continue to act according to the original plan and look for the lord in this disaster zone.


    He stood on the top of the building and looked down at the darkness below.


    He has explored many places before, but he has not been to the southwest much, and the night there seems to be darker than in other directions.


    If nothing else, the lord should be there.


    Malu then took Qiu Tong and walked there, and the number of encounters with shadow demons on the road became more frequent again.


    In order to save his mental energy, Malu started running and began to rely on movement to attract monsters.


    During this period, he was worried that Qiu Tong would not be able to keep up, but what he didn''t expect was that the latter, apart from being a little nervous when he saw Shadow Demon, did not hinder him in his actions.


    She has been following him closely, her leather shoes clicking loudly, and after running for such a long time, her breath is still very even, her face is not red, and her heart is not beating.


    In contrast, it was Malu who was breathing more heavily.


    When he stopped to rest midway, he couldn''t help but say, "You have good physical strength."


    "Oh, my mother is a gymnast. I have been practicing gymnastics with her since I was a child, and I also won medals at the city sports meeting."


    "No wonder." Ma Lu suddenly realized.


    While the two were talking, something flashed behind the glass display window of the watch shop not far away.


    Because Malu had been paying attention to the movements around him, he keenly captured the movements there.


    He reacted quickly and was immediately ready to release the lighting technique, but the black shadow did not come out of the clock shop.


    Malu got a little impatient waiting there, so he simply rushed into the watch shop with illumination, but after walking around inside, he found nothing.


    In order to confirm that the thing was not accidentally killed by him, Ma Lu also asked Qiutong to check the ground, but he did not find that kind of green stone.


    Could it be that he ran away?


    This was the first time that Malu encountered a shadow demon that could run away, and the thing ran away before he activated the illumination spell.


    He must have seen the power of lighting before.


    And if this is true, then its intelligence level is obviously far higher than other shadow sprites in this place, because according to Malu''s observation, those shadow sprites basically have no thinking ability, and they just execute the following programs like early artificial retards.


    In other words, the thing lurking in the clock shop just now is probably the lord of this disaster zone.


    The good news is that since that thing can run, it means that it is also afraid of illumination. Malu still has a chance to eliminate it and leave this disaster zone with Qiutong. The bad news is that the thing can run, so it may be a bit difficult to open it as close to the face as before.


    In order to confirm his suspicion, Malu also turned off the illumination technique and wandered around the area for a few times. In the end, all he could attract were ordinary shadow demons.


    And when he cleaned up all the ordinary shadow monsters, the shadow monster that could only run away never showed up again.


    Well, it seems that the guy really has memorized his appearance, not just the spell.


    Moreover, it moves very fast and is more familiar with this area than the two of them.


    It''s almost impossible to catch it here.


    After realizing this, Malu stopped meaninglessly circling and stood there in deep thought.


    Since you can''t catch it, you can only lure it out.


    Malu first tried the green stones in his hand and found a place to pile them together. As a result, even if he had exited a street away, there was not a single stone missing when he came back.


    Then Malu reluctantly let out some blood, because monsters in many film and television works are interested in human blood, but unfortunately this still has no effect.


    Just when Ma Lu was thinking about what else could be used as bait, Qiu Tong stepped forward.


    "How about I give it a try?"


    "Um?"


    "Those shadow demons have been chasing me and Principal Cao before. I feel that I should be able to lure them out, and I can run fast enough." Qiutong said boldly.


    Because Principal Cao Jinhua died at the hands of those shadow demons, she was also very afraid of those shadow demons at the beginning.


    But then she followed Malu and saw with her own eyes that Malu dealt with those shadow demons as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and she was no longer so afraid.


    What''s more important is that she also found that she seemed to be running faster than those shadows, so she offered to be a bait.


    "You have to think carefully," Ma Lu said, "The remaining shadow demon is probably the lord of this place. It may have some hidden abilities that other shadow demons don''t have, so it will be very dangerous to be used as a bait. In fact, it cannot be caught. It’s okay to reach it, we can still wait for rescue.”


    "But it''s been four hours now, and rescue hasn''t come yet, and I don''t know if it will come again."


    Qiutong hesitated and decided to take his fate into his own hands.


    "I want to give it a try. If it succeeds, we can get out of here."


    Of course, Malu had no objection. He had told Qiu Tong all the risks. From his own point of view, he would also try to kill the lord if he had the chance.


    After all, good things had been revealed when fighting monsters before, and the boss should have some ruthless characters. Besides, he and Qiu Tong had the same idea, they felt that it was better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself.


    The two discussed the next battle plan. The plan was not complicated. They just separated some distance to lower the vigilance of the lord. If Qiutong could attract it, they would turn around and run in the direction of Malu.


    It was up to Malu to use lighting to complete the final kill.


    The key to the success of this plan, in addition to luring the lord out, also requires Qiutong to wait until Malu arrives.
