Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 54 Mind

The next morning, Li Dezhou went to the Hunter Alliance to collect his reward, and Yunhua also planned to go and broaden his horizons. He was very curious about how this kind of commission confirmed each person's task completion.

Li Dezhou naturally had no objections, and the two traveled together.

When Yunhua arrived at the scene, she found that there weren't many people there, far fewer than the number of people who had registered on the day of the event.

Li Dezhou explained that hunters nowadays are all in small teams, and lone hunters like Yunhua are very rare. When registering, all members need to participate, but when it comes to receiving payment, only a representative from the team needs to come.

The line to collect their rewards moved quickly, and soon it was Yunhua and his group's turn. Yunhua watched as Li Dezhou explained his team's information and the number of demons they had eliminated to the staff, who then distributed the rewards to Li Dezhou.

Even after returning to her residence, Yunhua couldn't believe that she had received her reward so easily.

Yunhua couldn't help but ask Li Dezhou, "Don't the Hunter's Alliance people do any checks? Aren't they worried that someone might cheat?"

Li Dezhou responded with a smile: "Impossible. Don't think that saleswoman was an ordinary person. She's a rare mind-based mage."

"Mind-based!"

Li Dezhou nodded. "That's right. A mind mage can tell if someone is lying without using magic. It's useless to lie in front of her."

Even so, Yunhua still had some concerns, "What if the other party is also a mental mage or has a higher level of spiritual cultivation, and the sales assistant can't tell?"

Li Dezhou scoffed, "People of that caliber have plenty of ways to make money; they wouldn't even look at such a small sum. Alright, go call the others down; it's time to divide the money."

The mission rewards, plus the materials obtained from the kills, meant that each person earned over ten million in this week. After this mission, the Alliance team would take a short break to digest their recent gains.

Yunhua, on the other hand, continued his training in the Baishuijian Forest.

The money was distributed in the morning, and Yunhua entered Baishuijian Forest in the afternoon.

We'll still follow the route we've explored before. The rewards might be less, but it'll be safer.

Before he knew it, Yunhua had arrived at the site of the great battle between the Spiky Giant Frog and the Giant Claw Crab yesterday. Yunhua planned to search the area and maybe find something.

Some materials are useless to demons, but humans can process them into things they can use.

After walking around, Yunhua didn't find anything, only some broken shells and frog skins, not even a trace of demon meat.

At this moment, Yunhua suddenly saw something, groped around on the ground for a while, and then looked at the thing in his hand with a solemn expression.

The average person might not recognize it, but Yunhua, who has some knowledge of pharmacy, was able to.

"Demon-attracting powder?"

It looks like it was sprinkled on yesterday, and the fact that it survived indicates a large dose, which made Yunhua think of yesterday's battle between demons.

"But why would they do that? It was just to lure the demons, not to throw them into chaos, and there didn't seem to be anyone else here yesterday—"

Yunhua suddenly remembered the group of people she had encountered yesterday. Their appearance yesterday was very clever. If they had been a little faster, the Xuan Shui Poison Toad would still be in the lake. If they had been a little slower, the Xuan Shui Poison Toad would have killed Yunhua and the others and returned to the lake.

Thinking back to what the young man hadn't finished saying, although there was no concrete evidence, Yunhua felt that the truth was pretty much certain.

"Damn it, so we were all used as bait to lure this Xuan Shui Poison Toad ashore. It's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. It turns out they were the oriole, and we were the mantis." Yun Hua was furious.

Yunhua then calmed herself down. There was no point in saying anything more now. She would get her revenge when she became stronger.

After digging around, Yunhua found a place to rest, ate some dry rations and drank some water to replenish his strength. At the same time, he sent out a few of his bee soldiers to patrol the surrounding area to prevent the appearance of any overly powerful demons.

After feeding the queen bee remnants last time, there was no noticeable change, and Yunhua didn't pay much attention to it. It was unrealistic to expect the queen bee to become as intelligent as a human just like that.

However, there was also good news: the queen bee was about to lay eggs, and since she had recently made a large sum of money, enough to cover her expenses, Yunhua was able to send out the bee army with peace of mind, knowing that she would soon have enough.

Bees naturally live in the wild, and even if they encounter powerful demons, they won't take them seriously. Besides, given their size, they are not easy to spot.

After resting for about twenty minutes, a stinging wasp suddenly flew back and then flew around drawing patterns in the air.

"A demon?" Yunhua understood what it meant from its actions, and then quickly pulled it back into the poisonous cave.

Soon, pairs of crimson eyes appeared on the opposite side; they were Crimson Fire Foxes. These Crimson Fire Foxes possessed the strength of a minor general. They were about four meters long, with crimson eyes and white bodies.

Yunhua glanced around and saw that there were about five or six of them, facing off against them. They seemed to be intimidated by Xiaoti's aura and dared not come closer.

Seeing this, Yunhua thought, "It seems that Xiaoti's bloodline level is very high, but it doesn't matter. The first harvest of the day has arrived."

Yunhua let Xiaoti fight alone, while he took out the Flying Dragon Flame, intending to use a different attack method this time.

Upon receiving the instruction, Xiao Ti leaped out and charged straight at the Crimson Fire Fox in front of her.

When the red fire foxes saw Xiao Ti rushing over, they immediately scattered, with several of them heading straight for Ye Cheng.

Yunhua used his phantom claw to grab the Flying Dragon Flame, which floated in the air and spun like a drill before charging forward.

Bang! A red fire fox was pierced through by the flying dragon flame, leaving only half of its head.

Then, under Yunhua's control, Feilongyan attacked the other two. One of them had its two front legs severed by Feilongyan, and the other was swept away by Feilongyan.

Although the battle was going well, Yunhua was not very satisfied.

This battle tactic was Yunhua's imitation of the sword control technique from a TV series he had seen before. Its destructive power was indeed quite good. The Flying Dragon Flame itself was very sharp, and with Yunhua adding his psychic power to it, killing low-level generals was no problem.

However, there are still some problems. While accelerating the Flying Dragon Flame and making it spin to increase its attack power, Yunhua needs to concentrate highly, which weakens his perception of the surrounding environment.

Moreover, as the distance of the Flying Dragon Flame increases, Yunhua needs to exert more mental power, otherwise it will be difficult to control, and there may even be a situation where he cannot return.

Yunhua sighed, "Close combat really suits me better!"
