Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 57 Anomaly

Yunhua saw a look of madness in the eyes of the Crimson Scale Fish Demon and immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

Yunhua only finished speaking when the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon suddenly struggled violently, completely disregarding the fact that it was being pierced by ice chains. Although it had lost the support of the water source, it still used its innate demonic skill.

Several red jets shot towards the crowd, and many mages fell down before they could dodge, their faces still bearing joyful smiles, with only a hint of fear in their eyes.

That was a blood arrow formed by the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon using its own blood, sacrificing itself to take down its enemy with its last drop of blood.

The sudden turn of events shocked those still alive, including Yunhua, who never expected such a thing to happen.

Because of this incident, there were originally more than twenty people who came, but now there are only a handful left.

There's no need to fight the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon anymore. It has already squeezed out all its blood and lost its life. Only its pair of pale fish eyes are still wide open, seemingly mocking these foolish humans.

"Why...why did this happen..." Some people couldn't accept the unexpected turn of events.

Some remained silent, while others were already calculating how much they could gain.

After all, that was a demon at the level of a general.

No one could resist.

However, not everyone was blinded by profit; some monks noticed something amiss with the crowd.

"Where's Old Zhang? Is he dead?"

"That can't be right. Old Zhang is a veteran mid-level mage, but I haven't seen him in a long time."

The disappearance of Old Zhang, the Mediterranean man, cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, but there were other things to do at the moment.

"Hey buddy over there, come over here, let's discuss the aftermath!"

Yunhua was called over and remained wary of the remaining people; fortunately, no one made any underhanded moves.

"What should we do now?"

Someone made a sound, but Yunhua saw that his eyes were fixed on the corpse of the Crimson Scale Fish Demon, so he knew that he was not asking about what to do with the dead mages.

However, since there were many people present, including the accompanying monks, there were still some things that needed to be kept within certain boundaries.

Of course, if he's the only one left, or if everyone reaches a consensus... then that's a different story.

The complete body of a general-level demon is enough to sell for several million, and even if divided among a group of people, each person would still get a considerable amount. Add to that other items, such as the corpse of the gray-scaled giant fish in the water, as well as the bone fragments and essences that were dug up, and this trip has already been incredibly profitable. They are quite satisfied to return home now.

"Everyone, pack up the valuables and we'll divide the money when we get back. As for their bodies... find their hunter identification tags and bring them with you," Feng Shaojie said.

The Crimson Scale Fish Demon's dying counterattack hadn't hurt him; after all, he was a sound-based mage, and he was able to detect the problem faster than others.

"it is good."

The crowd naturally agreed. This was an unspoken rule among demon hunters. When they went out, they would carry a special metal tag engraved with their identity information. If they unfortunately died in the wild, their companions could take the tag back with them as a form of closure. After all, sometimes it was difficult to carry a corpse back. Bringing back a tag was already more than enough, and they couldn't expect too much from others.

Just as everyone was collecting their identity tokens, Yunhua's nose suddenly twitched a few times, startled by the smell in the air.

Someone has spread poison in the air, but it is difficult to detect because it is masked by the smell of blood from the slain demons. If Yunhua had not cultivated poison skills, she would not have been able to detect it at all.

Yunhua first touched a jade bracelet on her wrist, then stood up and quickly told others about her discovery, but many people dismissed it.

Because they couldn't detect the poison, they didn't believe a novice hunter could find it faster than these experienced veterans. They thought Yunhua was exaggerating, scaring them away before sneaking back alone to take the valuables.

Seeing that they didn't believe her, Yunhua was annoyed but helpless, so she decided to leave alone. This feeling of the enemy being in the dark and her being in the light made Yunhua feel uneasy.

However, a few mages heeded Yunhua's warning and decided to leave with him. After all, having just experienced so many deaths, those who survived would cherish their lives even more. Feng Shaojie was among them.

Just as Yunhua and the others were about to leave, suddenly ice chains flew out from the surrounding woods and pierced directly down at them.

The ice chains struck too suddenly. Apart from Yun Hua using "Mind Control Shield" to block them and Feng Shaojie taking out a spirit shield, the others didn't have time to resist before being entangled by the ice chains and frozen into icicles by the cold air on them.

This sudden event was also witnessed by the monks who remained in place, and they realized that Yunhua had been telling the truth.

Knowing that something was terribly wrong, the mage who had prepared antidotes took out a few pills and swallowed them without caring whether they were effective or not. Then, abandoning everything else, he scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

But the person behind the scenes obviously wouldn't let them off so easily. Suddenly, countless strange-looking trees, vines, and buds burst forth from the ground.

They pushed through the soil, and what's most frightening is that they are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Some of them intertwined and then quickly multiplied into more branches and vines, while others continued to spread towards the ground, rapidly carving out a large territory for these wildly growing plants!

Just a few seconds ago, this place was a patch of gravel and pebbles, but now it has been completely taken over by these plants. They don't look like plants at all, but rather like some kind of giant monster that is invading, taking over, and capturing something!

These plants grew around the people on the ground, spreading and intertwining unchecked, quickly forming a dense thicket of vines that blocked them out.

These complex plants grew denser and more lush, to the point that the outside world was completely obscured.

They are like a prison, a jungle prison made entirely of strange trees, demonic vines, and demonic branches. The density of the forest makes it impossible for anyone inside to leave this plant cage, even if they can move freely!

This is a cage, a cage that rises from the ground and grows out of the ground, a forest prison that encloses even the area above your head!

"Kunzhilin: Prison"

Intermediate-level plant-based magic.

Yunhua was glad that she had noticed something was wrong and left beforehand; otherwise, even Yunhua would have had a hard time getting away if she had been entangled there.

Moreover, this Kun Forest clearly had additional effects; at first, you could hear screams from the people inside, but soon it became completely silent.

Right now, the only people who can move on the island are Yunhua and Feng Shaojie, but soon there will only be one left!
