Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 56 The Big Fish

The person quickly realized what was happening, put away their belongings, and remained silent. Fortunately, the others were relatively restrained, knowing that this was the territory of demons, and at least did not make a direct move.

However, many people secretly memorized the face of that lucky person. Who would let go of such a fat sheep that was delivered to their door?

Yunhua silently prayed for him, hoping he could get out alive. Some people don't have earth elemental magic, so they can only use the most basic and clumsy method—shoveling. A group of mages digging the ground with shovels—this kind of scene is rare.

Yunhua didn't have a shovel, but he had something more convenient: he changed the shape of his mental energy to resemble a drill bit, driving it downwards to dig, making him much more efficient than others.

A group of people dug and rummaged around on the peninsula. Some of them did find something, although it wasn't as valuable as the giant bone of the old man from the Mediterranean, but they still gained something and were more inspired.

Yunhua was quite lucky; he dug less than half a meter before finding a bone fragment.

The bone fragment was no bigger than the palm of his hand, and it felt warm and smooth like jade when touched, which Yunhua found quite novel.

This bone has turned into jade; it's hard to imagine how many years it had been buried underground.

These ancient fossils have lost their former power, even though their owners were once incredibly powerful, they have also given rise to new power.

The energy on the jade-like bone fragments has been exhausted, making them unusable as raw materials for crafting equipment; they are essentially only suitable for collection.

However, Yunhua had heard something at the academy: these things could supposedly be added when refining spirit seeds, and if you were lucky enough, they might even produce special spirit seed effects. She didn't know if it was true or not.

These items aren't particularly valuable, but they're not commonly found on the market because they can only be found in the territory of demons. If the surrounding fish demons weren't confined to the water, a major battle would be inevitable.

While digging, Yunhua kept an eye on Feng Shaojie. He wasn't very lucky; he didn't dig up anything useful. However, he didn't seem to care and appeared quite indifferent.

This struck Yunhua as odd. Hunters come out for money, and now that others are getting the benefits while he isn't, he should at least have some reaction.

Moreover, Yunhua discovered that the Mediterranean-looking old man, Zhang, who had brought them here, had disappeared at some point, which made him even more suspicious!

"We've found it! We've found it!"

Several earth mages who were casting spells together smiled with delight. They worked together to dig a large hole, which was already seeping water, and finally they found that huge and complete skeletal fossil.

Before she could even feel happy, Yunhua suddenly sensed a murderous intent all around her.

A colossal, crimson creature burst from the water with a deafening roar. The part of its back that emerged above the water was no smaller than that of the gray-scaled giant fish. This was a true behemoth! It looked to be about half the size of this peninsula!

As the Crimson-Scaled Fish Demon stirred up huge waves, a Giant Gray-Scaled Fish even leaped onto the shore, nearly opening its massive mouth to swallow the mage who was near the shore.

Fortunately, someone nearby used a ground wave to move him away, preventing him from dying.

This red-scaled fish demon has four fins and bulging muscles, making it look like it has four legs from a distance. Without a doubt, the red-scaled fish demon can stay on land for a short time!

Everyone was terrified, but being hunter mages who frequented dangerous areas, some of them suppressed their panic and even began to draw star trails with their hands.

"Don't panic, everyone! There's only one Crimson Scale Fish Demon here. Although it's a Warrior-level demon, we also have a mid-level mage here! Brothers, let's kill a Warrior-level demon today and sell it for a good price when we get back!"

Someone roared out, not only comforting the crowd but also threatening to kill the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon!

Many people were inspired by him and began to cast spells. In an instant, the light of magical stars flickered and shone brightly.

The Crimson Scaled Fish Demon was naturally furious. It strode onto the shore with its four leg-like fins, opened its huge mouth, and unleashed a terrifying suction force. Some people who were not standing firmly or who were too close were directly sucked into the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon's belly.

Yunhua pressed down on Xiaoti, who was about to go into battle, in his backpack. This kind of demon and Xiaoti were not compatible. Although Xiaoti could tear through the skin of the Crimson Scale Fish Demon, the injuries Xiaoti caused were nothing to this giant demon.

So Yunhua whispered a few words to Xiaoti and then released her. After being released, Xiaoti did not fight the Crimson Scale Fish Demon. Instead, she took advantage of the others' inattention and secretly ran to the nearby woods to hide.

At this moment, the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon had already confronted the group. It could still manipulate the lake water from the shore, which was its demonic skill!

The lake water swirls like a waterspout, its power astonishing, proving that it is more than just a scary-looking thing.

The waterspout turned its "dragon head" and bombarded the human mages from above, directly scattering their formation. Some were swept into the water and quickly dragged down by the waiting gray-scaled giant fish, leaving no trace of life, only their blood faintly staining the water's surface.

Yunhua only had time to release her mind control to grab one person.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The person who was rescued was a middle-aged monk. He thanked Yunhua repeatedly. If Yunhua hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have been eaten by the giant gray-scaled fish in the water. What would have happened to his wife and children then?

Although hunters are people who risk their lives for quick money, and they are prepared to die at any time, how many of them can accept death calmly when it is so close?

The humans weren't without a chance to fight back. One of the fire mages threw fireballs into the water, and soon, several giant gray-scaled fish were blasted up, their white bellies facing the sky, and the aroma of fish meat filled the air.

The Crimson Scaled Fish Demon was attracted by the noise, and although it was not obvious, the experienced demon hunters still seized the opportunity and dealt it a heavy blow.

The Crimson Scale Fish Demon's eyes turned red instantly. Despite being a fish, it let out a strange roar, and the water surged. It went berserk, swinging its huge tail and using the momentum of the waves to swat away several mages with a single move, its fate unknown.

Yunhua did not attack the Crimson Scale Fish Demon because it was simply too large, not even in the same league as the demons she had encountered before, and mind control would be ineffective against it.

However, there's no need for Yunhua; there are quite a few capable people among this group of mages.

"Thunderbolt - Top-Down"

A mid-level lightning mage's spell struck the Crimson Scale Fish Demon, injuring it while also paralyzing its body.

"Earth Wave Displacement"

The earth mage took the opportunity to move the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon to the rocky ground, restricting its movement.

"Ice Lock - Pierce"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, someone unleashed a mid-level ice spell, freezing and cracking the ground. Several ice chains emerged from the cracks, their tips tipped with spikes that wrapped around the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon's body, piercing deep into its flesh.

The Crimson-Scaled Fish Demon has finally drawn blood!

The crowd cheered, finally they were about to defeat this terrifying warrior-level demon.

However, things often turn out in ways that surprise many people.
