Chapter 56 – Nandu Snake Demon

　　An Qingyu opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, and after hesitating for a moment, he wisely didn’t say anything.

　　He was interested in Lin Qiye’s identity, as well as that above-average combat strength, but in full view of everyone, if he asked, he probably wouldn’t say anything, and would instead cause the other party to resent him.

　　”Seven Nights, this is our Cangnan City’s ten-year hard to come by genius, the treasure of the second middle school, have you heard of his name?” Li Yifei opened his mouth and introduced.

　　Haven’t heard of it.

　　Now is not the time to discuss this. Lin Qiye lightly opened his mouth, first send all these students to the auditorium, it’s safer there.

　　Li Yifei froze, but we can’t even go down ah, there are so many monsters on the first floor ……

　　Halfway through speaking, Li Yifei realized that he had asked a stupid question.

　　Dead all, otherwise how do you think I came up? Lin Qiye looked at Li Yifei like he was looking at a retard.

　　You are really fierce. Li Yifei grinned, so you want to continue going up to save people?

　　Of course.

　　I’ll go with you. Li Yifei firmly opened his mouth, don’t worry, I’m sure I won’t drag my feet if I follow you, and now that they are more convinced of me, I can help you control the situation.

　　Lin Qiye only hesitated slightly before nodding, Take your axe squad and go up with me.

　　Although it didn’t seem like much had changed on the surface, after a day of fighting and killing, the monsters that had died in his hands had added up to nearly twenty, Lin Qiye was very badly depleted in both physical and mental strength, and he was already tired.

　　Having Li Yifei and his Axe Squad could help him relieve a lot of pressure.

　　I’ll go as well. An Qingyu suddenly opened her mouth.

　　You?

　　I can help you out and analyze the monsters’ behavioral habits. An Qingyu calmly looked into Lin Qiye’s eyes without flinching.

　　Li Yifei came to Lin Qiye’s ear and whispered: I think, this kid is quite smart.

　　Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: that’s good, but first things first, I can’t guarantee your safety.

　　Anyway, he has brought an entire axe squad, one more person won’t make a difference.

　　No problem, I’m not afraid to die. An Qingyu’s eyes lit up and she seemed very excited.

　　Lin Qiye instructed the others in the class before letting them head to the auditorium on their own, the auditorium wasn’t far from the sophomore teaching building, plus Lin Qiye had just cleared the monsters again, so basically he wouldn’t run into any more dangers.

　　Li Yifei.

　　What’s going on?

　　How is the situation upstairs?

　　It’s alright, blocking those monsters on the fourth floor shouldn’t be a problem.

　　Okay, let’s rest in place for a while.

　　Lin Qiye casually found a stool and sat down, there are quite a few monsters on the fourth floor, and if he wants to kill them hard, he needs enough physical and mental strength.

　　Sister Hong Ying, how’s it going on your side? Lin Qiye opened his headset.

　　I didn’t catch it, I chased him for most of the school before, then it drilled into the woods behind your school and disappeared. The red tassel on the other end of the headset seemed a bit frustrated.

　　Lin Qiye’s heart sank again.

　　If the main body doesn’t die, then this incident won’t end, even if he can pull out the monsters in the school one by one and kill them, it’s still just a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause.

　　So where are you guys now?

　　Minami is trying to track the traces left by the monster, let’s keep chasing it, as long as the [Unrestricted Airspace] is still there, it won’t be able to escape this school.

　　Good.

　　By the way, Wu Xiangnan found out what this monster is.

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up.

　　This monster is a Nandu Snake Demon, it should come from the countryside legend, Wu Xiangnan had searched all the mythological books before and couldn’t find any information about this thing, but finally found just a few words in a tattered ancient book.

　　Nanto snake demon?

　　This kind of snake demon possesses superb camouflage ability, as well as intelligence no less than that of human beings, and after swallowing a creature into its stomach, it can plant a snake seed in its body, turning the shell into its heir and manipulating their actions.

　　However, there is a limit to the production of snake seeds, even for the body, only one snake seed can be produced in a day, while the heir can only be produced in three days, and the battle power of both its body and heir is not high, at least not in the immature stage.

　　So that’s how it was. Lin Qiye stroked his chin.

　　In that case, it seemed that this Snake Demon had existed for longer than he thought, and with such a large number of Snake Demon heirs, it had probably been in this school for more than a month.

　　It was careful and cautious.

　　Just as Lin Qiye was thinking, An Qingyu quietly and silently walked to his side.

　　Is something the matter?

　　I want to ask a question.

　　If you’re asking to please ask if I’m a superman or an immortal cultivator, forget it.

　　No, what I want to ask is …… have monsters like this always existed in places we don t know? An Qingyu reached out and pointed at the monsters whose corpses were separated outside.

　　Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and nodded.

　　Then why are we still living so leisurely and comfortably?

　　Lin Qiye glanced at him and slowly opened his mouth: because there are people watching over the night for humans.

　　Logically, Lin Qiye shouldn’t have answered this question, but sooner or later they were going to be clearly memorized anyway, so it didn’t matter what they said now.

　　However, Lin Qiye could only say as much as he wanted to.

　　I understand. An Qingyu nodded.

　　Aren’t you afraid?

　　Afraid? Why would I be afraid? The corners of An Qingyu’s mouth rose slightly, I just find it interesting.

　　Interesting?

　　It turns out that in addition to science, there is also this kind of magical creature in this world. Anqing Yu licked his lips, his eyes not leaving the monster corpses outside the corridor for a moment, I really want to bring them back and slice them up for research. You’re still just a high school student, right?

　　So what? Are you just like everyone else, thinking that high school students can only learn what high school students learn? An Qingyu let out a light laugh, spending three years of your life to learn those rigid and monotonous simple knowledge is just a waste of life.

　　Then you ……

　　I just recently finished reading the content of my master’s degree in biology, and in the second half of the year I plan to start my doctoral program, mainly researching the genetics and genetic mutations of living things, and I also have some research on clinical medicine. Lin Qiye froze and looked at An Qingyu, and only after a long time did he spit out a few words, Excuse me.

　　In this world, there really is this kind of demon?

　　Lin Qiye had always thought that he was quite smart, but compared to the boy in front of him, the word smart seemed so pale and powerless.

　　He looked at the time, stood up from his chair, and took a step towards the outside of the classroom.

　　Let’s go, it’s time to go save people.

　　Everyone grabbed their weapons and aggressively followed Lin Qiye out, even An Qingyu rummaged through a drawer and pulled out a fruit knife, following with a smile on her face.

　　That expression, as if she wasn’t going to fight the monsters, but rather cut them into eighteen slices and bring them back for study.
