Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 58 Doppelganger

Feng Shaojie's face was pale. The spiritual shield in front of him protected him and blocked the first and second ice locks, but the spiritual light on the shield had become extremely dim, making it difficult to block the next attack.

Feng Shaojie hurriedly called out to Yunhua, begging for his help. Although Feng Shaojie was not a good person, he was still a useful fighting force.

So Yunhua used her telekinetic power to crush the ice locks that attacked her, and then cleared the ice locks in front of Feng Shaojie.

Although Ice Lock is a mid-level spell, Yunhua's mental state is high, so even if he uses a low-level space-based spell, he can still defeat his opponent.

Once it was safe, Feng Shaojie ran directly behind Yun Hua, a move that made Yun Hua frown, but before he could say anything...

Feng Shaojie suddenly pointed in the direction they had come from and said, "There's someone there!"

Following the direction Feng Shaojie pointed, a man emerged from the woods—it was none other than the Mediterranean-looking old man, Zhang, who had just disappeared.

Seeing that it was just Old Zhang alone, Yunhua felt a little strange.

Old Zhang, who lives in the Mediterranean, is a mid-level mage. He used earth magic when traveling and just now he used ice magic, so he has already used two different magic types.

Adding to the plant-based magic from earlier, unless this old man Zhang is also born with dual elemental magic, there must be another person nearby.

Yunhua felt that the former scenario was unlikely. If Old Zhang was truly born with dual elements, he wouldn't be a street vendor, and his strength would only be at the mid-level.

Back in Bo City, when Mo Fan revealed his innate dual-elemental abilities, various powerful families and military units were vying to win him over.

So that's true—

At this moment, Yunhua suddenly knelt down on the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably. A short knife was sticking out of his waist.

The person who made the move was none other than Feng Shaojie, who was standing behind Yunhua!

Seeing Yunhua trembling as she tried to pull out something, Feng Shaojie sneered and said, "Don't waste your time, this knife of mine is coated with deadly poison!"

"Heh heh, those money-grubbing bastards, they've lured all that little bit of profit into their hands." Old Zhang wiped the rain off his bald head, mocking the people who had come with him to dig for treasure.

Old Zhang walked up to Feng Shaojie. It was clear that the two were in cahoots, and the plant-based magic from earlier must have been Feng Shaojie's doing.

Yunhua just couldn't understand why Feng Shaojie, who was right beside her at the time, showed no signs of casting any magic.

Old Zhang looked at Yunhua and said to Feng Shaojie with dissatisfaction, "Why did you make me include this guy in the plan before? He almost ruined our entire operation!"

Feng Shaojie dismissed Old Zhang's doubts, saying, "It was indeed unexpected that he could discover those poisons, which is why I took matters into my own hands. This guy was with that Zhongmeng team before, so he must have a lot of money on him, at least more than those poor bastards you called in."

Anyway, we're leaving after this job, so every little bit of extra money helps.

Old Zhang snorted, clearly dissatisfied with Feng Shaojie. This wasn't the first time; because of his youth and potential, Feng Shaojie had always felt superior to Old Zhang and ignored his instructions. However, this wouldn't continue.

Old Zhang pulled the knife out of Yunhua's back, then stabbed him eight more times, only relaxing after confirming that he was completely dead.

Seeing the body stabbed to pieces, the person in the woods felt a complex mix of emotions.

If Feng Shaojie could see this, he would be shocked, because the person was none other than Yunhua, whom he had stabbed!

The truth of the matter needs to be told from the beginning. When Yunhua discovered that someone had poisoned the area, he activated the snake-skin bracelet that Dr. Mei had given him.

Yunhua has had this bracelet for a long time, but has never had the chance to use it. After all, this magical artifact is for escaping, and there is no opportunity to use it in Anjie.

After activating the bracelet, only the clone created by the bracelet appeared, while the original body took the opportunity to quietly leave.

To be honest, it was a strange feeling, like I had become two people. Yunhua used his clone to warn everyone while quietly heading towards the forest.

Because she was unsure of the effectiveness of the protective film the snake-skin bracelet had applied to her body, Yunhua moved very slowly.

When the clone was attacked by Old Zhang, Yunhua had just reached the edge of the peninsula, so he took the opportunity to block it.

Anyway, the peninsula had just experienced a major battle, and the magical energy inside was in a very chaotic state. In addition, Yunhua's main body and clone were not far apart, so that little bit of magical energy fluctuation would not attract the attention of others.

Afterwards, Yunhua took advantage of the moment when Feng Shaojie and Old Zhang met up and hid in the forest.

Actually, when passing by those two people, Yunhua had considered whether to take the opportunity to get rid of them.

Then Yunhua and the other two also harbored ulterior motives and were wary of each other. They each had at least one magic spell or magical tool that could be released immediately.

In that situation, dealing with one person was no problem, but Yunhua wasn't confident about handling two at the same time, as the opponents were both experienced veterans.

So Yunhua decided to wait and see, thinking that maybe he could be the one to benefit from this opportunity.

Old Zhang and Feng Shaojie didn't rush to loot the valuables. Instead, they went to the spot where Feng Shaojie had dug earlier and used earth magic and their shovels to dig. They quickly dug a large pit, but the heavy rain soon flooded it.

But they didn't care anymore, because they had found the treasure they had been searching for.

With one strike of the shovel, it seemed to hit rock, and the shovel vibrated, making a crisp sound.

Even if you use magic again, you still can't dig any further.

Old Zhang bent down, carefully touched it with his hand, and suddenly roared to the sky.

"Hahaha, finally found it! An earth-type spirit seed! Just a little bit away from being a top-grade earth-type spirit seed!"

Feng Shaojie seemed dissatisfied with the result and asked, "Old Zhang! Didn't you say we were guaranteed to get a top-grade spirit seed? Even if it's close to being a top-grade spirit seed, it's not; the price difference is enormous!"

Old Zhang glanced at him impatiently and replied, "What's your rush? I've been in this world for years, do you think I don't understand this? Of course I have a way to make this spirit seed advance further!"

Old Zhang's confident demeanor surprised Feng Shaojie: "You actually have this kind of trick up your sleeve?"

Old Zhang chuckled, a proud look creeping onto his face. "Of course! My Zhang family was once a prestigious clan, but unfortunately, we declined and our numbers dwindled. However, some of our ancestors' secret techniques have been passed down, and this is one of them."

"Is this why you won't let me use lethal poison, and only want to paralyze them?"

"That's right, their lives were sacrifices for this secret technique!"
