These Familiars Are Strange

When Wang Rong charged forward, he naturally went for the Abyss Demon that was the closest to us.

However, I said, "Not that one."

Wang Rong was surprised to hear this and there was a trace of hesitation in his actions, but he eventually turned and headed towards the second closest one.

"Not that one either."

A look like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry appeared on his face before Wang Rong said, "Just tell me which one already!"

So I just pointed at one of the Abyss Demons that were there.

Wang Rong had no hesitation at all when he saw me pointing at one of the Abyss Demons. He just raised his great sword and charged right at the Abyss Demon that I was pointing at.

But during that time, the Abyss Demons that were closer to him were naturally getting closer as well.

In no time at all, they were right on him.

Wang Rong couldn't help flinching when he saw these Abyss Demons almost on top of him, but then he noticed that there was something strange about these Abyss Demons.

When he looked closely, it almost seemed like they were flickering…

With the way that they flickered, it was almost as if they didn't seem real. It was as if they were some kind of illusions that were there.

This reminded Wang Rong of something.

And the moment that he thought of this, a determined look appeared in Wang Rong's eyes almost as if he had come to some kind of decision.

So even though it looked like these Abyss Demons were about to hit him with their claws, Wang Rong just ignored them as he charged at the one that was pointed out by Lin Fan.

Though the one thing that he did was strengthen his body just in case.

When those claws hit Wang Rong…they didn't actually make contact with his body. The claws that the Abyss Demons swiped at Wang Rong with just went right through his body.

Wang Rong didn't hesitate for a single second when he saw this happen since he had already expected this. Though he did have to spit something out of his mouth after this Abyss Demon went right through him.

It was several more Abyss Demons that hit him like this, but there wasn't a single one that actually hit him.

All of them seemed to disappear the moment that Wang Rong made contact with them. At the same time, Wang Rong had to spit something out when he ran through them.

The displeased look that was on his face showed that whatever he was spitting out, it wasn't a good thing.

Eventually, Wang Rong reached that one Abyss Demon that was pointed out to him.

But there was a strange look that appeared on his face when he saw what that Abyss Demon was doing. At first, it seemed like that Abyss Demon was about to brace to take the hit from him.

Then the Abyss Demon suddenly released its guard and swung its claws at something beside Wang Rong.

However, there wasn't a single thing that was beside Wang Rong, so that Abyss Demon just swung at thin air. At the same time, it also created a gap for Wang Rong to exploit, so he didn't hesitate to swing his sword at the Abyss Demon.

The Abyss Demon had a look of shock on its face as if it couldn't believe what happened as Wang Rong cut it down.

Even if it had thick scales, they weren't thick enough to stop Wang Rong's great sword.

Wang Rong looked back at me and I just pointed at another one of the Abyss Demons that he charged at.

With the two of us working together like this, we were able to take down many of the Abyss Demons that had been charging at us. Though most of them did disappear on their own when they made contact with Wang Rong.

It was as if they had never been there in the first place.

When there were only a few Abyss Demons left, I waved my hand at Wang Rong to come back.

He didn't doubt me as he came back to our side, but when he did come back, he asked, "Someone is playing tricks on us?"

I gave a simple nod in response.

There was no need to say anything since it was clear that Wang Rong had already figured out who it was that was doing this. And if Wang Rong figured it out, it was only natural that Iris figured it out as well.

"Peh, peh." Wang Rong spat out a few more times before saying, "The moth scales really do taste terrible. If you run through them, you have no chance of evading them."

He looked at me and said, "Boss, couldn't you have used the wind magic to push them away?"

I shook my head with a faint smile before saying, "I was using the wind magic for something else. Or do you want to fight the Abyss Demons head on without the openings?"

A smile also appeared on Wang Rong's face as he slowly shook his head.

But when that smile disappeared, he slightly knitted his brows to say, "What about him? Do we take care of him now for trying to cause harm to us?"

I knew who he was referring to, but I shook my head before saying, "Not in front of everyone. He can only play small tricks like this, but they can't do anything to me. Right now, it's more important to watch the situation and wait for the boss of the camp to appear. I want to see if we can snipe anything or not."

Wang Rong and Iris nodded in agreement, but I could see that they were still a bit unhappy.

To be fair, I was also a bit unhappy.

It would be strange if I was happy that someone was trying to kill me.

If he used more than these small tricks…

But then again, I knew that he wouldn't dare do that in this place.
