Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

After arriving in Tongxiang County, Mo Fan woke up Lin Ran who was sleeping again, and then opened the blueprint. He found that many water channels in Tongxiang County had been renovated on a large scale. At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but you had to fly to an altitude of more than 500 meters to look down to see how profound these changes were.

"Are we there yet?" Lin Ran rubbed his eyes.
"We're here, let's go quickly, we'll be out of Anjie soon, and then follow the water source to find the place where we're blocked..." Mo said.

After leaving Anjie, the students' faces became alert. They were different from Lin Ran and his friends who had been dealing with monsters since high school. The students had not really experienced several life and death experiences, so they became nervous as soon as they came out.

"I know that this water vein flows down from Biyuan Mountain, and the water vein next to it flows from Qingyi Lake. Teacher, I will go to Biyuan Mountain myself to take a look. I have been there before and I am quite familiar with it." Bai Hongfei volunteered at this time.

"Are you okay?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"We are here for experience. If we ask our mentor to do everything personally, then what kind of experience can we talk about? And we joined in to help our mentor share his worries. The most important thing is to deal with this water vein interruption as soon as possible." Bai Hongfei said solemnly at this time.

The other students couldn't help but show contempt when they heard what Bai Hongfei said. This Bai Hongfei was so arrogant just now, why is he flattering so shamelessly now?

"Teacher, then let me be responsible for Xu Jiaxi. I will definitely be able to find the reason!" another conceited student said unwillingly.

"Teacher, Minghe let me do it!"

Lin Ran and Mo Fan looked at these students who volunteered to share the tasks, and they couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, having a little brother makes completing tasks very comfortable, and I don’t have to do it myself at all.

“Then please be careful. If anything happens, signal us immediately and we will support you as quickly as possible.” Mo Fan couldn’t help but remind them.

As instructors, they have the obligation to ensure the safety of their students, so he dare not be careless about this.

“Mu Nujiao, just follow Bai Hongfei. The density of monsters in Biyuan Mountain is quite high, and I’m worried that something might happen to this kid.” Mo Fan said to Mu Nujiao. He originally wanted to let Lin Ran go, but Lin Ran was obviously a burden now, so he let Mu Nujiao go.

"Okay, Biyuan Mountain is also a major water vein. I'm not sure if he can go there alone." Mu Nujiao nodded. But after she answered, she realized something was wrong. She pinched Lin Ran with her little hand and said angrily, "Mo Fan, you treat me as your student, right?"

“How dare I? Hehe, you are the leader, you are the leader!” Mo Fan laughed awkwardly.

Lin Ran said in confusion: "Why are you pinching me?"

"I like it." Mu Nujiao said and left.

Mu Nujiao did not go with Bai Hongfei. After all, this was considered the college graduation assessment. The tutors and assistant tutors only had to ensure the students' safety, and the students had to complete the assigned tasks independently.

"Teacher, what should we do?" A sweet-looking female student stood beside Lin Ran and asked with a silly look.

Lin Ran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then looked at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan immediately understood what he meant and looked around. This was truly a typical wilderness, a perfect crime location where no one could help. He looked at the still unaware female student Cao Qinqin and said, "Let's go take a bath in Qingyi Lake. This damn hot weather is killing me."

Cao Qinqin's cheeks flushed instantly. All the other water veins were taken away by others. She could do nothing now. She could only follow her mentor. She didn't expect her mentor to say such a thing. It was really against the teacher's example. Besides, there were two people, sandwiched from both sides? She shouldn't be able to bear it.

"Teacher...I"

“I mean, we two can go for a swim, and you can wait for news from them on the shore.” Mo Fan also noticed that the girl was looking at him with strange eyes, so he immediately changed his words.

"..."

……

Lin Ran soon arrived at Qingyi Lake. Looking at the completely green lake surface that was as smooth as silk, he understood why this place was called Qingyi Lake. It was indeed a beautiful scenery. It was a pity that it was outside Anjie, otherwise there would be many people driving here late at night, looking at the lake while shaking the car... Nowadays, people in the city like to play like this.

“Damn it! How come my thoughts are getting more and more filthy after becoming a mentor?” Mo Fan couldn’t help but curse himself in his heart. As a teacher, one should be a role model and upright!
"Teacher, what did you say?" Cao Qinqin asked on the side with some confusion.

"Nothing, nothing. Speaking of which, if the water of Qingyi Lake is also diverted to Tongxiang County, wouldn't it be equivalent to adding an energy engine to the water circulation array? The water here is deep and the waterline is high, but it just doesn't go beyond Tongxiang County." Mo Fan sighed as he looked at the beautiful mountain lake.

"Teacher, teacher, don't you find it strange?" Suddenly, Cao Qinqin stood behind Lin Ran, and she seemed to have seen something terrible.

Lin Ran looked around, looking for something scary.

"Strange, there's nothing strange about it. There are beautiful mountains and rivers here, and there are no monsters. It's a perfect place to cleanse the soul... Wait a minute, classmate Cao Qinqin, now that you mention it, I seem to have discovered something strange, but I can't tell what's strange about it." Mo Fan was now only about 500 meters away from Qingyi Lake. He looked at the extremely tranquil lake and suddenly felt a sense of weirdness.

"Reflection, it's a reflection, teacher..." Cao Qinqin couldn't help but whispered.

Lin Ran looked at the reflection.

Mo Fan was also stunned for a moment, then he looked over fiercely, and then Mo Fan couldn't help but shudder!
Reflections!! The lake was strangely calm, without even a ripple, but why was there no reflection in such a lake!!
It was so blue and so smooth, but it did not reflect the white clouds in the sky, nor did it reflect the mountains and trees nearby. Now Mo Fan finally understood why Cao Qinqin was so frightened.

"There is no reflection." Lin Ran muttered to himself.

“There is indeed no reflection. Could it be that this is not water?” Mo Fan did not move forward.

The diameter of the lake is more than three kilometers, which is considered a large lake in this forest. There are mountains on all sides, but none of the lake water reflects the outline of the mountains. This is really too weird!
"Teacher, let's...let's go." Cao Qinqin was already starting to get scared and silently moved closer to Lin Ran.

Such a big lake, if it’s not water, then what could be in it?
“Well, let’s call the others back first. Something doesn’t seem right here.” Mo Fan said.

They did not step in rashly. Who knows what that green thing covering the entire lake is? Students were also nearby, so they could not be reckless.

……

Soon, Lin Ran and the others found everyone else. The last to come back were Mu Nujiao and Bai Hongfei. They had obviously encountered some minor troubles.

"Did you gain anything?" Mo Fan asked.

"Not yet. The water is very normal and is flowing towards Tongxiang County. There is no sign of being blocked."

"Yeah, everything looks normal."

Lin Ran looked at Mu Nujiao. Mu Nujiao hesitated for a while, then said, "Except for encountering some blood-breaking mosquito monsters, everything else is normal."

"Have you gone closer to take a look?" Mo Fan asked. "No, there are still many demons drinking water at the source of the water. We dare not go too close." Bai Hongfei said.

“Then…are there any reflections in the water that you see?” Mo Fan asked.

"Reflection??"

Several people were stunned for a moment. If asked this question, they really couldn't remember it at the moment. Except for slightly calm lakes and pools, the reflection of flowing water was probably not very clear.

"It seems... it seems not!" Mu Nujiao suddenly realized something, and then a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

“Maybe it’s the water flowing.”

"No, I felt something was wrong before. It turned out that there was no reflection in the water. The pond I saw had no reflection, but a deep green color." Mu Nujiao answered very affirmatively.

Mo Fan touched his chin and his heart sank. It seemed that it was not just the water in Qingyi Lake that was in this situation.

Is it a water quality issue, or is there something on the surface that is hard to spot?
Lin Ran and his companions felt that this matter was not as simple as they had imagined, so they told Dean Xiao about their investigation.

Dean Xiao also quickly contacted another tutor and asked him to work with Lin Ran and others to figure out the matter.

It was already night when the instructor came over. Mo Fan felt that it was difficult to see clearly at night, so he thought it would be better not to act rashly. However, this instructor had a very bad temper.

"What's wrong with Ye? Why are you afraid? If there is a big monster, I, Zhou Jiantian, can deal with it. Let's go quickly and don't waste my time." Zhou Jiantian said.

Zhou Jiantian was accompanied by five or six students. They seemed reluctant to come here. After all, this was not their job. If the entire water vein had not stopped flowing normally, delaying their subsequent design, they would not have come here.

The group headed for Qingyi Lake quite smoothly without encountering any obstructions from demons or monsters.

Arriving at Tsing Yi Lake, they gazed at the lake again...

I don’t know why, but Tsing Yi Lake gives people a different feeling.

The lake was still calm, there was no wind, and no ripples were visible. They walked a little closer and found that the numerous stars in the sky were reflected in the black lake water. The entire lake suddenly looked like it was inlaid with countless mysterious gems, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

The lake was filled with starlight and a breeze blew, mixed with the fragrance of nature. The comfortable feeling created a huge contrast with the weird scene during the day.

"Are you kidding me? How can there be no reflection? There is nothing on the water surface and there is nothing wrong with the water quality." Zhou Jiantian said angrily.

"Yeah, this is obviously a normal lake. What a waste of our time."

"You're making a mountain out of a molehill!"

Zhou Jiantian stared at Lin Ran and Mo Fan and said, "You two are good-for-nothings. Don't be so stupid as to not be able to handle such a small matter properly. We still have a big project waiting to start. If you are scared to death by the reflection of the water, then you should withdraw as soon as possible. I will ask Dean Xiao to find someone else.

Lin Ran sighed and thought he should have taken a photo with his mobile phone before, but he didn't expect it to be different at night.

Zhou Jiantian and his students left angrily, leaving Lin Ran and several other students looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Teacher, these people are really unreasonable. Do we think we can deceive them? There was clearly something wrong during the day." Cao Qinqin said indignantly.

“Forget it. We will get to the bottom of this matter. Go back and have a rest first. We’ll come back tomorrow.” Mo Fan said.

"it is good."

……

After returning to Tongxiang County, Mo Fan became more and more confused.

He and Lin Ran are both well-informed people, but what happened today is still a little difficult to understand.

First of all, there must be something on the water surface. It is something that looks very much like water in a still state. You have to get closer to see it clearly.

It was a pity that they did not dare to get close during the day. If they had gotten closer, they would have known what it was.

After thinking about it for a long time without any result, Mo Fan didn't waste any more time. He sat down by the window and started to meditate.

"It's very strange." Mu Nujiao sat on Lin Ran's lap and looked at Lin Ran and said.

"It's really strange, it feels more fleshy." Lin Ran moved his hand and then said.

Mu Nujiao twisted her body a few times and then said, "I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"The important thing now is to reduce the swelling."

early morning.

“Dong dong dong dong!!”

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door and Mo Fan quickly left the meditation room.

"Teacher, teacher, Bai Hongfei is missing." Cao Qinqin's somewhat anxious voice came.

"Gone? Could it be that this guy went out to drink wine in the middle of the night?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask with a raised eyebrow.

"His field equipment was also taken away," said Cao Qinqin.

“Oh my god, this guy, is he trying to figure out the reason by himself? Even if he wants to be an outstanding graduate, he can’t be so reckless. Things have to be done step by step… Damn, why is he becoming more and more long-winded? He’s almost like an old-fashioned teacher. Let’s go find him. I hope nothing has happened to him.” Mo Fan couldn’t help but curse.

"Fuck it, Lin Ran, hurry up and get up. Something big has happened. Bai kid is gone." Mo Fan walked to the door next to him and kicked it a few times.

Lin Ran quickly opened his eyes. Mu Nujiao rubbed her eyes and looked at Lin Ran, her perfect body exposed to the air. Lin Ran said, "You stay and take the others. Mo Fan and I will go find someone."
