Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 55 Giant Skeleton

These few red fire foxes were quickly dealt with, but unfortunately, they didn't drop any essence or strange bones.

Before setting off, Yunhua specially bought a soul vessel that could collect the essence of warrior-level beings, which cost him eight million. It would be a huge loss if he didn't encounter anything!

After collecting some useful materials from the Crimson Fire Fox, Yunhua set off for the next location.

However, the journey that followed was very disappointing for Yunhua. Perhaps because he had already cleared them out once before, Yunhua did not encounter any general-level demons along the way, only servant-level ones.

Xiao Ti had no interest in making a move and slept in her backpack the whole way.

Seeing that it was already afternoon and the harvest was still meager, he mustered his courage and decided to try his luck at the place where he had encountered the Black Water Poison Toad.

The area where a leader-level demon lives must be richer in resources than the surrounding area. Hopefully, that group from last time revealed something.

Yunhua ordered the most skilled reconnaissance bee in the bee army to lead the way and head towards the place she remembered.

Throughout the journey, Yunhua maintained a considerable distance from the pursuing bees to ensure a quick escape should danger arise.

But before he even got there, something unexpected happened to Yunhua. He encountered a large group of mages on the road, about twenty or so. They didn't seem to be a team, because their coordination was poor, and their spells even canceled each other out.

The group's appearance was strange, and Yunhua didn't want to get involved, so he planned to leave quietly. But just as he was about to leave, the bushes where he was hiding were suddenly struck by an unseen force, making a sound that attracted everyone's attention.

Before the group of mages could even identify what it was, several of them connected with the star and unleashed a few spells. One of them was a lightning mage, and the star connection was incredibly fast; almost instantly, several arcs of electricity shot towards where Yun Hua was hiding.

Yunhua had no choice but to jump out and use her mind control to block the magic, while raising her hands to show that she meant no harm.

Yunhua really wanted to escape, but with so many mages here, what if there were some strange ones? So Yunhua decided to just play it by ear for now.

Then a Mediterranean-looking old man stepped out from the crowd, glanced at Yunhua from head to toe, and said in a very friendly manner, "Young man, what are you doing here?"

Yunhua: "If I said I was just passing by, you probably wouldn't believe me."

The expressions on the faces of several mages in the crowd gave the answer. Just as Yunhua was considering how to escape, the old man with the receding hairline suddenly spoke up.

The old man said he had dug up the skeleton of a powerful demon under a mudflat and had just gathered people to dig it all out.

The old man with the receding hairline then invited Yunhua to go with him. Yunhua glanced at the crowd and felt that she had no choice. If she refused, something might happen, so she agreed.

After joining the group, Yunhua spotted a familiar face among them—the sound-based mage who was originally supposed to temporarily join the Alliance team.

It was obvious that the other person also recognized Yunhua and walked over to Yunhua to talk to him.

The sorcerer's real name was Feng Shaojie. He told Yunhua that this group of people had joined in the village. The old man with the receding hairline was a stall owner. He displayed a huge rib to prove his point and invited everyone to join.

The remains of this powerful ancient creature are still quite valuable, and clearly not very dangerous.

Or rather, the potential danger from "companions" is greater than the disturbance from demons.

During the conversation, Feng Shaojie quietly told Yunhua that he had concealed the fact that he was a sound-based mage and hoped that Yunhua could keep the secret. Yunhua readily agreed.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways. Yunhua appeared cheerful, but after Feng Shaojie left, his eyes turned icy cold where Feng Shaojie couldn't see him.

Yunhua already had some suspicions about the invisible attack that exposed him earlier, and after seeing Feng Shaojie, he became even more certain that it was the first level of the sound-based magic, the Sound String.

As a sonic mage, environmental detection is his forte, so he should be able to easily determine whether the person hiding nearby is a human or a demon.

But instead of making a fuss, he deliberately used magic to expose Yunhua. If the person hiding there was weak, they would probably have been killed long ago.

Yunhua thought that such a person was like a venomous snake; he must have come over to see if Yunhua had discovered anything.

However, there's no use in bringing this up. The wilderness is practically a lawless place, and the blood on hunters' hands includes not only demons but also their own kind. For them, profit is the most important thing, and they won't offend a sonic mage for this.

"It seems this operation is going to be very difficult!" Yunhua didn't make a sound, but slowed down and slowly came to the back of the group.

After walking for a while, some people started to complain. They had already walked quite a distance, and some were already considering giving up. "Hey, Old Zhang, why aren't we there yet?"

"Don't worry, it's just ahead, almost there!"

Old Zhang, with his Mediterranean-style haircut, kept saying they were almost there and he couldn't let them leave.

"snort!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but their inner greed still drove them to stay.

Finally, Old Zhang pointed excitedly to a peninsula extending into the lake and said, "That's where I found the bones! But I was being chased by a swarm of poisonous frogs and accidentally ran here. The frogs didn't dare to chase me anymore. There must be a secret, a treasure here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing quickened. What secrets were hidden in this place that made even the warrior-level demonic poisonous frogs hesitate to venture there?

Yunhua felt that there was a greater possibility that a powerful demon was hiding here, so he took two more steps outside.

This is a short peninsula covered with dark rocks, with a gentle breeze and sparkling blue water. It would be perfect if there weren't those gray-scaled giant fish that constantly patrolled the area.

But nobody cares about them; they're just a bunch of legless fish that can't get ashore. Who would bother with them?

Yunhua stared at the gray-scaled giant fish for a while, frowned, and then ignored them.

"Everyone, give it your all! Those bones are buried down there. If you find one in good condition, you'll be rich!" Old Zhang shouted, exciting the crowd.

Earth-based mages used magic to move the rocks and silt, but found that earth magic was not very effective in this area.

"Why has my magic power decreased so much?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not that magic is restricted, but rather that there's something wrong with these rocks and silt!"

Some people have also found the reason: there is something strange about this place, and the rocks do not seem to be ordinary.

"My God, this is a fragment of a spirit seed?!"

Someone had actually unearthed a fragment of a spirit seed, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Yunhua was also shocked by the news, while the others' eyes revealed greed.
