Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 48 Summoning Demons

After the battle, everyone in the team knew that Yunhua had a very good battle beast, and they understood his desire to keep the demon meat.

Team leader Li Dezhou said, "Yunhua, every time our Demon Hunting Team goes on a mission, the spoils are divided equally among all the members. Although you've only joined us temporarily, you're still a member of the Demon Hunting Team, and the spoils will be distributed equally just like ours. You can take these things."

"Okay, thank you everyone for your help," Yunhua replied.

Although Yunhua didn't think this absolutely equal distribution method was quite appropriate, since they felt it was suitable, she didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

After all, the atmosphere in this team is very harmonious, and the relationship between teammates is also very friendly. Perhaps this approach is indeed suitable for them.

After more than an hour of exploration, the detector completed its task. While recording the data, Li Dezhou discovered that four nests containing over a hundred demons had appeared within the detection range. The closest nest was only about ten kilometers ahead.

The team then walked forward for about seven or eight kilometers. Afterward, the team leader, Li Dezhou, told the others to rest where they were and used his shadow to go ahead and scout the situation.

Twenty minutes later, Li Dezhou returned and said, "There is a nest of giant clawed demon crabs ahead, led by a little warrior-level giant shell mother and more than a hundred giant clawed demon crabs."

The Warrior-class Giant Shell Mother is entirely black, over six meters long and nearly four meters tall, with giant pincers over two meters long. Its attack and defense capabilities are not particularly strong. The Giant Shell Mother's primary function is reproduction; the entire nest of Giant Pincer Crabs was bred by it. Its greatest strength lies in its ability to command the more than one hundred Giant Pincer Crabs it has spawned.

Vice Captain Zhao Bin spoke first: "More than a hundred slave-level enemies, plus a minor general who isn't strong in either attack or defense, are manageable for us with our strength. But that will inevitably alert the other nests. If we get bogged down, and the other nests surround us, there will be a total of five or six hundred giant clawed demon crabs, and then we'll be in danger."

"What are everyone's thoughts?" Li Dezhou asked.

"I know a little about potion-making. I can make demon-attracting powder. Then, I'll have Xiaoti take some of it to lure them away. Xiaoti won't attract other demons from their lair. As long as there isn't a large amount of magical energy, it won't easily attract other demons. Once Xiaoti has lured them far enough away, we'll strike decisively and gradually devour them," Yunhua explained her plan.

"Are you sure the demon-attracting powder is effective?" Zhao Bin asked.

Yunhua nodded: "I'm sure. My teacher is a master of pharmacology, so making demon-attracting powder is a piece of cake for him."

"What do you all think?" Li Dezhou asked, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

So Yunhua started making demon-attracting powder on the spot. This kind of powder doesn't require much technology, and when Yunhua added the pheromones released by the thorny giant frog, the effect was even better.

After it was made, Yunhua told Xiaoti about the plan, gave her the demon-attracting powder, and instructed her to be careful with the dosage, because too much powder would attract all the demons.

After understanding Yunhua's meaning, Xiaoti headed towards the nest.

Yunhua and the others followed and groped their way toward the nest. As they approached the nest, Xiaoti was leading a group of giant clawed demon crabs toward them from 300 meters away.

The slave-level giant pincers posed no threat to Xiaoti. While dodging their attacks, Xiaoti still had the strength to launch a counterattack. On her way here, Xiaoti had already killed five or six of them.

"Spirit Essence!" Zhou Qing shouted, pointing at the corpse of a giant pincer demon crab.

Above the corpse, a pale blue firefly-like light was visible.

"Let's go quickly," Zhou Qing said. Spirits are not so easy to appear. Since she joined this team, she has encountered spirits not only a handful of times, but also quite a few.

The spirit would only stay for a few minutes, and would disappear if it stayed too long. Zhou Qing felt like he was seeing a pile of white silver in front of him, and he was extremely anxious because if he didn't go and grab it soon, it would fly away.

"Let's charge in together!" Li Dezhou and Zhao Bin were the first to rush out.

As soon as they charged into the swarm of giant claw crabs, they unleashed the mid-level spell "Fierce Fist - Sky-Shattering Strike," and two fire dragons shot out, instantly engulfing more than a dozen giant claw crabs.

On the other side, Zhou Qing headed straight for the spirit, and Yu Jiaqi followed. Sun Dacheng used "Wind Disc - Tornado" to clear a path from the side.

Yunhua met up with Xiaoti first, and as soon as they met, Yunhua noticed that Xiaoti was covered in demon-attracting powder.

Yunhua said irritably, "I told you to scatter it on the ground, but you ended up scattering it all over yourself. What, are you planning to become a full-time bait?!"

Xiao Ti scratched her head shyly, indicating that it was an accident. Yun Hua didn't say much and took Xiao Ti to meet up with the others.

Once Zhou Qing reached a distance where he could collect the essence, he couldn't wait to concentrate on collecting it, completely unaware of the lone giant pincer demon crab beside him.

The giant pincers of the demon crab darted out from the side, extending its massive pincers to snipe at Zhou Qing's waist.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was about to be cut in two by the giant pincers, Yu Jiaqi and Sun Dacheng could only shout "Xiao Qing, be careful!" but it was too late to come to her rescue.

At the critical moment, a silver starlight flashed, "Psychic Control - Void Claw".

Yun Hua made a grabbing motion in the air, and the giant pincers of the demonic crab snapped shut when they were twenty centimeters away from Zhou Qing. With a snapping sound, the giant pincers made a clanging noise, but Zhou Qing had already been pulled out of the pincers' range.

Then, a crackling sound, like bone armor shattering, was heard around the giant claw crab. It then flew into the air and crashed into another giant claw crab, instantly killing one and severely injuring the other.

Zhou Qing broke out in a cold sweat. He had been so focused on collecting the essence that he hadn't noticed the giant clawed crab's sneak attack. Zhou Qing was also terrified, and his petite body began to tremble. After all, he was only in his early twenties and hadn't experienced life and death like those veteran hunters.

If Yunhua hadn't intervened in time, he might have been cut in two. At this moment, Yunhua, Yu Jiaqi, and Sun Dacheng had already arrived beside Zhou Qing.

The group then worked together to eliminate the giant pincers of the crabs.

Xiao Ti brought over fifty of them, half of all the demons in that nest, but they were ultimately just servant-level demons and couldn't cause any trouble in the hands of this group of mid-level mages.

After dealing with the giant pincers of the demon crabs, the group rushed to the demon's lair without even stopping to rest. At this time, the demons inside the lair were unaware that their kin outside had been wiped out.

"We need to finish this battle and get out of here quickly; we can't linger here any longer."

"That's what Captain Li Dezhou said."
