Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 81 Someone's Here at Midnight

Upon hearing this, the people from the Imperial Academy fell silent. Yun Hua's performance last time was still fresh in their minds. In their opinion, in a one-on-one duel, only Mu Ningxue could probably defeat Yun Hua.

"Where is Mo Fan?" At this moment, Zhao Manyan suddenly realized that Mo Fan had been missing for a long time, so he asked.

It was only then that everyone noticed this. There was no way around it; Mo Fan's interpersonal relationships among the boys weren't very good. He was only on good terms with Yun Hua and Zhao Manyan. The others were either enemies or people he had no connection with. That's why it took everyone until now for him to disappear.

Yunhua: "Mo Fan said he went to the restroom, but he hasn't come back for a long time. He must have gone to do something else."

"That guy actually ran away!" Lu Zhenghe was about to curse when he noticed that Mo Fan had returned, but in a strange posture, he was covering his left cheek.

Yunhua asked curiously, "What happened to your face?"

Mo Fan gave Yun Hua a resentful look, then said, "I accidentally tripped and fell."

After saying that, Mo Fan went back to his tent, and Zhao Manyan followed him back.

"How are you? Judging from your appearance, you haven't been discovered, have you?" Zhao Manyan asked with a smile.

Mo Fan released his left hand, revealing his left cheek, where three clear claw marks were visible.

Mo Fan gently rubbed his cheek and said, "I almost succeeded. It's all that cat's fault. It's not a dog, how come its nose is so sensitive? I hadn't gotten very close before it spotted me and kept chasing me. If I didn't know that the cat belonged to Yunhua, I would have definitely taught it a lesson."

"Stop talking big. I just heard Yunhua say that his cat is a space-type! Do you know what a space-type means? My dad once said that if I could awaken a space-type ability, he would give me half of his fortune. Do you know how much that half of his fortune is? It's beyond your comprehension!"

Mo Fan dismissed this, saying, "It's just a spatial element, right? Once I reach a higher level, I'll awaken a spatial element!"

"You're just bragging! Spatial manipulation isn't that easy; even with a guiding stone, it's not guaranteed to work!"

Outside the tent, the girls had returned after showering. Mu Nujiao returned everything she had borrowed from Yunhua, including Xiao Ti's.

Looking at Xiao Ti's noticeably cleaner fur, Yun Hua's expression suddenly became somewhat strange. He asked, "Did you give Xiao Ti a bath?"

Mu Nujiao nodded: "Yes, Xiaoti worked hard tonight. Don't worry, Xiaoti is very obedient. She didn't resist when I gave her a bath."

"By the way, where did you buy that collar around Xiaoti's neck? It looks pretty good."

Yunhua said somewhat nervously, "Just these past two days, I felt that Xiaoti's white outfit was too monotonous, so I bought this."

Mu Nujiao didn't notice Yunhua's unusual behavior and returned to her tent after saying goodbye.

After Mu Nujiao left, Yun Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ti's collar was bought when she passed by the Anti-Entropy Shop again. There was a miniature camera hidden in the collar. Yun Hua originally just wanted to better understand Xiao Ti's activities, but she didn't expect it to be used here.

Yunhua looked at his phone and felt a demon inside tempting him, trying to drag him into the abyss.

-

Yunhua took a deep breath and then exhaled, repeating this action until she calmed down.

Yunhua reminded herself, "You are a person with aspirations; you can't always be fixated on these things. You must be a good person!" Therefore—

Delete it immediately after viewing it once!

Late at night, everyone began to rest and took turns keeping watch.

Yunhua, Mofan, and Zhao Manyan slept in the same tent. While Mofan and Zhao Manyan were on night watch outside, Yunhua didn't fall asleep but kept looking at the screen on her phone.

Before taking a break, Yunhua sent out a chasing bee, and the footage it captured was displayed on her phone.

When a figure appeared on the screen, Yunhua knew that the person she was waiting for had made a move.

After that person had gone back for a while, Yunhua lifted the tent flap and went outside.

"Yunhua, you got up in the middle of the night too?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Yes, my stomach is a little uncomfortable," Yunhua said.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Manyan, Yun walked into the woods, and Hua followed Feng Jun to the place where the phone had taken the picture earlier.

Yunhua squatted down, sifted through the soil, and finally found a glowing pen-shaped object inside.

Yunhua took a picture of it, then sent a message to Teacher Gu Han. After that, she crushed the pen-shaped object and put it into her spatial artifact. Only after doing all that did Yunhua return to her tent.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and the group packed their things and set off again along the tracks.

There was no sign of human habitation along the way, only desolate scenery. No one was in the mood to appreciate the scenery. The mountains and rivers, the railway tracks hidden in the weeds, did not belong to them. The wildflowers on both sides might even have been cultivated by demons' excrement.

The journey of the group of seventeen was relatively smooth, and they did not encounter any large groups of demons.

However, even if they were to encounter them, with their current strength, they would still have the ability to survive, and wouldn't be devoured by demons after only a few steps.

After traveling for nearly ten days, the remote city of Jinlin finally came into view.

Another tunnel appeared before them. This time, Yunhua didn't need to send out the Bee Army to scout again. Everyone climbed the mountain on their own. In the past, people believed in not entering forests, but now Yunhua and his group avoided tunnels.

Once everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, they immediately saw a vast plain basin.

To the west stretches an endless plain and low hills, all of which can be seen at a glance.

"That's Jinlin City. It's only been fifteen years, but I never imagined it would turn out like this." Zheng Bingxiao said, gazing at Jinlin City in the distance.

"Where demons have dwelled, if no one manages it afterward, it will definitely end up like this. After all the houses, streets, and roads are destroyed beyond recognition, the plants use the demons' excrement as nutrients and grow very fast, so vines and moss will cover everything."

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's go, let's survey the area first and count how many demons are roaming around here," Song Xia said.

The outskirts of Jinlin City are a wide plain surrounded by a forest. This forest surrounding the city is one of the key targets that Yunhua and his team need to explore.

Whether a city is worth rebuilding depends first on whether the vast land surrounding it has been completely occupied by demons.

Fortunately, this mission was only a reconnaissance mission, and not a sweep of demons in Jinlin City. Otherwise, Yunhua and his team could have surrendered and given up before even setting off.

Although Jinlin City is remote, it is still considered a second-tier city. Its suburbs are unimaginably large, not to mention the entire city itself, which has been transformed into a land of demons. Without a few elite troops, it would be impossible to re-integrate this place into the human map.
