Versatile Mage: Ten Thousand Fires Surrender

Chapter 114
It was just after noon when Ling Xiuyuan saw the stone tablet engraved with the words "Jiulong Mountain Ahead" again.

The reason why the team was able to go so fast this time was also because no one in the team was holding back.

When operating in the field, team members usually adjust their own speed according to the speed of other companions in the team. The speed of the whole team often depends on the slowest person in the team.

But this time Ling Xiuyuan is in this team, the cultivation base of the members is much stronger than that of the previous team, and the lowest is the third level of the middle class.

The higher the mage's level of cultivation, the higher the degree to which the magic energy can strengthen the physical fitness, and the speed of traveling must be more than a little faster.

Not to mention that magic is also improving at any time. Following the exploration of those researchers among mages, they have summed up a set of tips applicable to mages of all schools.

After using this set of techniques, even ordinary steps will hide magic of different attributes, so the steps will appear extremely fast.

"We're about to enter Nine Dragon Mountain, everyone adjust your status here." Wu Guan, the captain of the Mage Hunting Team, also saw the stele, turned his head and gave instructions to the team.

While giving instructions to the team, he nodded secretly in his heart.

At the beginning, he only accepted this commission out of the idea of ​​returning favors, but when he heard that this mission was to enter the mountain with a freshman, he was still a little worried, afraid that this time employers are more difficult to serve.

Judging from the initial contact when they were just on their way, at least the employer this time will not be the kind of oil bottle that gets in the way, and they get along with each other quite happily.

Moreover, this employer is still a blacksmith, so maybe he will deal with him in the future.

Just now on the road, everyone introduced their own information to each other in detail, so that they can cooperate with each other in the future.

Under Ling Xiuyuan's deliberate disclosure, everyone in the team also knew that Ling Xiuyuan was also a blacksmith with a teacher's background, and he could already forge spirit-level magic tools.

In the wild, a good piece of magic equipment is self-evident to improve combat power and life-saving ability, so hunters are the group of people who most often ask blacksmiths.

But blacksmiths have a noble status, and people in some big aristocratic families and organizations must treat them with courtesy, not to mention mage hunters with relatively low social status.

Unless you are a hunting king, you will rarely see that kind of famous blacksmith.

Some of the poorer high-level mages, after reaching the high-level, still use spiritual-level magic equipment, and have no money or connections to obtain higher-level magic equipment.

Therefore, a blacksmith with a formal mastery, no matter what level he is, will be valued by the hunter, because you may not know what will come to the blacksmith.

Everyone came to the side of the road and found an open space to rest, basking in the winter sun at noon, and squinted their eyes comfortably by coincidence.

Although noon should be the hottest time of the day and the most difficult time of the day, noon in winter is an exception.

In the wild in winter, even a mage can't stand against the biting cold wind. Only by wearing heavy clothes can he ensure that his body temperature will not be lost too quickly.

But when the noon sun fell, all the people in the team felt only a sense of warmth. The noon sun in winter is soft and comfortable.

However, in the winter of this world, you can always find some figures whose clothes look out of place compared to other people.

The clothes of Ling Xiuyuan and the other two in the team are typical of this kind of people.

Compared with the bloated and bulky clothes of the others, the clothes on these three people looked very thin.

For example, Ling Xiuyuan was only wearing a long-sleeved thin coat with a T-shirt inside, and the coat was not even zipped up in his arms, which seemed disrespectful to the season he was in.

But compared to the other person, he already gave Dong a bit of a face. That person was only wearing short sleeves in this icy and snowy environment!
If this is a world without supernatural powers, wearing it like this will only attract people's attention to cherishing animals, but in the world of magic, people have long been accustomed to this kind of out-of-season clothing.

In the wizarding world, don't be surprised if you see a thinly dressed person in winter, that person is most likely a fire mage.

Elemental magic has specific magical effects on specific occasions.

As long as the magic energy is simply mobilized, the fire mages will not be afraid of severe cold, the water mages will not be afraid of rain, the ice mages will not be afraid of extreme heat, the earth mages will not be afraid of blowing sand, and the wind mages will be able to guide the airflow, so that they can compete in the sweltering environment. Ice mage is also easy to use!
Only the masters of the light department seem to show that grandma doesn't love uncle and grandma, they... um, aren't afraid of the dark?It is generally used as a light bulb by other mages!
As soon as the team started to rest, Ling Xiuyuan approached the man in short-sleeves, and asked for some advice on the practice and use of fire magic. This man is also a high-level fire mage named Qi Chao.

Seeing Ling Xiuyuan coming to ask him for advice, the man was also happy to form a good relationship with Ling Xiuyuan, so he chatted with Ling Xiuyuan about his experience in practicing fire.

After a while, another mage who practiced fire in the team also came over and chatted with them.

Half an hour later, when Ling Xiuyuan was talking happily with the two fire mages, Wu Guan's voice came from the side.

"It's almost time to rest, let's go, and try to reach Duanyunjian tonight."

Ling Xiuyuan reluctantly ended the conversation with the two fire mages, and he benefited a lot from this exchange.

Although he is already a high-ranking fire mage at a young age, after all, he has not practiced for a long time and will lack some experience.

But the other two fire mages in this team were different.

Compared with Ling Xiuyuan, although they are lacking in talent, they have more than ten years of training time than him after all, and these two people are still in the actual combat school who often take risks in the wild, and they always have some unique experiences of their own .

Ling Xiuyuan used the experience he got from these two people to corroborate the theory taught by the professors in the academy, so as to extract useful information for himself to supplement the experience he lacked due to the rapid advancement of the realm.

The team set off and went straight to Jiulong Mountain.

As the team slowly penetrated into the forest, everyone was no longer as relaxed as when they were just on their way, and tensed their nerves to guard against possible dangers around them.

Occasionally, if you encounter a monster acting alone, try to kill it as quietly as possible, and if you encounter a group of monsters, avoid that part of the area.

The first principle when operating in the wild is not to easily consume mana, and the second is not to easily disturb large groups of monsters.

In the wild, the mage's mana is very valuable, because there are very few occasions where you can meditate to restore mana, and the mana can almost only be restored naturally by the mage.

And if a group of monsters are alarmed, no matter how powerful a mage or team is, there will be a moment when their magic energy is exhausted, and then they will be consumed alive.

Ling Xiuyuan looked at the hunters surrounding him to protect him, and nodded silently in his heart.

As expected of a team of hunters who specialize in taking on difficult tasks, they don't need to do anything themselves at all. These hunters will cooperate tacitly to deal with all the situations they encounter, and there is no room for them to intervene.

Until arriving at the scheduled camping place that night, Ling Xiuyuan didn't cast a single spell!
That night, all the night watch work was taken over by the mage hunting team. Ling Xiuyuan only needed to stay in the tent and rest until tomorrow morning.

Ling Xiuyuan was lying in his sleeping bag. He didn't expect that this field trip would be so smooth. He didn't need to do anything at all, and someone else took care of everything for him.

However, beheading the mutated elemental demon cannot be done by other people, or even be seen by those people. If the Najing really explodes at that time, the danger will not only come from those wild monsters.

Coincidentally, when Ling Xiuyuan was thinking about this matter in his sleeping bag, the members of the mage hunter team who were keeping watch outside also talked about this topic.

In the silent night, a member of the team quietly glanced to the side. Wu Guan was sitting on a boulder and guarding the night with him.

He looked behind cautiously, and saw no one behind him spoke softly, with a hint of probing in his tone.

"Captain, after arriving at the mission site, shall we let the employer act alone?"

"I think it's better to send someone to follow behind the employer quietly. If the employer is in danger, the people following him will be able to rescue him in time."

Wu Guan slightly raised his eyelids, and slowly looked at the person who spoke just now, his eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of warning in them.

"Don't think I don't know what you're planning, put away your curiosity!"

"In our line of work, we must abide by the rules. We will do what the employer asks us to do. Don't do unnecessary things and avoid unnecessary complications."

"Besides, do you think the employer is not on guard against us? If he wants to act on his own, it proves that what he wants to do does not want us to see!"

"This time the employer is different. He is the apprentice of the blacksmith master. If he accidentally finds out while following us, our reputation will be bad!"

The man laughed dryly and didn't dare to speak any more.

In fact, there is another meaning in Wu Guan's heart that he didn't say, because this time the employer hired them under the guise of others, even if the employer is silenced after being discovered, as long as someone finds something wrong and reports the crime, they will be found out in the end.

At that time, as long as the forging master is willing to pay the money, there will be ways to find out the truth, and the trial will not be vegetarian.

Otherwise, just follow. Even if the employer has a falling out with them, this is the wild, and danger may occur at any time. Is it normal for the employer to lose his life because of poor protection and the monster breaks through the line of defense?

Moreover, what kind of waves can a middle-level mage pull out, so what if he is a blacksmith, no matter how many magic tools are there, can he deal with three high-level mages at the same time?
In an uncontrolled area like the wild, it is easy for people to wantonly release the evil thoughts in their hearts. In fact, many hunters like Wu Guan are not good at anything.

This is also the reason why Ling Xiuyuan insisted on acting alone.

In the wild, unless you have very trustworthy teammates, you must be on guard against other people in the same group. Hidden arrows from behind are the most deadly.

This night passed so peacefully. When Ling Xiuyuan woke up from meditation, he even felt that the trip to Nine Dragon Mountain was so smooth and strange.

Ling Xiuyuan didn't know if he was superstitious. He always felt that if something went too smoothly, there would definitely be some twists and turns in the end.

Therefore, during the time when he woke up the next day and started to drive, his heart was always tightened, guarding against possible emergencies.

But when it was noon, the team was almost in front of the pool where the elemental demon lived, and there was still no emergency, which made Ling Xiuyuan doubt himself, whether he was too suspicious.

The team stopped at the valley in front of the pool to rest, and by the way, Ling Xiuyuan and Wu Guan reconfirmed the tasks that the mage hunting team needed to do.

"Captain Wu, let me reconfirm with you. Your task is to lure away the monsters so that I can enter the water pool and steal the precious minerals guarded by the monsters. Is there any problem?" Ling Xiuyuan spoke seriously first.

Seeing the employer talking about the details of the mission, Wu Guan's face couldn't help but become serious.

"No problem. At the same time, let me confirm the types of monsters with you again. The water-type elemental monster and the earth-type elemental monster. Both monsters are small-scale groups. Each of the two groups has a commander-level elemental monster, right?"

"That's right, the task of your team is mainly to lure the two commanders and most of the monsters under them away from their lair, and I will find a way to solve the part that guards the lair." Ling Xiuyuan nodded.

"Well, I've fully written down the mission details, I wish you good luck!" After Wu Guan finished speaking, he turned and returned to their team, gathered the team members together, and began to give orders.

Ling Xiuyuan squinted his eyes, and after taking a last look at the team, he walked in another direction alone.

In the plan they formulated, the two parties had to act separately from the beginning.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, this is the hottest time of the day, and it is also the time when the fire element in the air is most active, and it is also the time set by Ling Xiuyuan and the others for the mission to start.

I saw a cloud of fire suddenly appearing above the pool, and the flames fell from the cloud onto the lake as if it was raining.

When the fire ball fell, all the elemental demons living nearby were startled to appear, including the two commander-level elemental demons.

In an instant, several large-scale magics appeared in the field. These magics did not seek to cause damage, but to create more movement and attract all the monsters hiding in the dark.

Ling Xiuyuan had already lurked on a tree near the lake, watched the mage hunting team from the tree, and led away the two elemental monster groups.

And the mutated elemental demon was indeed as he expected, no matter how much movement there was outside, it had been hiding at the bottom of the lake and never showed up.

Now, all those in the way are gone, it's almost time for him to do something!
