Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 374 Strategy
The next day, Mo Fan rushed back.

Along the way, he naturally noticed the strange atmosphere between Xu Shen and Shajia.

Mo Fan nudged Xu Shen discreetly, his expression resembling that of a passerby searching for melons on the ground: "Hey, where's your array master wife?"

"Sigh, my wife and Shaka are incompatible according to their birth charts, so she can't come. The Nazca Lines trip will have to be the three of us."

Got it, the harem plot backfired, that's it.

Mo Fan grinned, unable to hold back his laughter: "Did they fight?"

"beated."

"Good heavens!" Mo Fan gasped, his face filled with regret: "Such a beautiful sight as women fighting, and I wasn't there!"

Xu Shen glanced at him: "Good-looking?"

"Absolutely! Tearing hair, ripping clothes, bras and panties flying everywhere, it's really exciting."

Xu Shen was speechless: "What are you thinking? It's this tattered book on your head that's going to do it."

Mo Fan was shocked: "They're even using demonic artifacts, and the fight is this intense?"

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Walking behind the two, Shaka patted Xu Shen on the shoulder: "What are you two whispering about?"

Xu Shen explained in international language: "Mo Fan thought you were my mistress, and yesterday he got into a fight with Xiaoyu."

Mo Fan was surprised by Xu Shen's honesty and chuckled awkwardly.

However, Shaka wasn't angry. It was all a misunderstanding, and she had almost hurt someone's wife. Instead, she felt a little guilty and uneasy.

"What happened yesterday, I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry..."

"It's alright. Xiaoyu specifically asked me to tell you not to worry about it," Xu Shen said with a smile. "You've been walking for so long, you must be tired. Shall I carry you?"

Shaka shook her head: "I can still walk..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Shen, as if watching from behind, grabbed her arm, lifted her up, and with a slight pull, Shajia was already clinging to his back.

I don’t care about you!

"hiss!"

Xu Shen suddenly gasped.

"what happened to you?"

"I almost forgot, I encountered a few sea monsters on my way from Shenzhou and suffered a minor injury on my back."

This is a lie.

"Ah, then put me down quickly."

“It’s okay, just change your position,” Xu Shen said, pulling Saga’s slender waist around his body and drawing her in front of him.

Before Shaka could react, she was already in Xu Shen's arms in a princess carry. Her arms instinctively hooked around Xu Shen's neck. She stared at Xu Shen blankly for a long time before lowering her head with evasive eyes and asking, "Are you... are you alright?"

To win a woman's heart, you must start by winning her body.

If the line is stretched long enough, the line will inevitably be lowered.

Look, she even cares about our health.

Xu Shen smiled brightly: "It's alright, you know my constitution."

Mo Fan stood aside without saying a word, inwardly cursing the beast countless times.

They even lie to little girls!
That bastard.

However, this move...

Learned, learned.

The three walked for another hour and found the spot that Yu Mian had marked on the map.

The place is empty and desolate, and looks no different from the surrounding environment.

"Your family's array master hasn't made a mistake, has he?"

Mo Fan wandered around for several hours, and Xu Shen also used his mental power to search the entire area, but they still couldn't find anything unusual.

"probably not."

Xu Shen thought for a moment and then took out two Luoyang shovels.

"No, why did you bring this?"

"My mental power can only penetrate about 60 meters underground. If we dig a little deeper, we might find something."

“60 meters?!”

Shaka covered her mouth in shock.

The difficulty of penetrating a solid directly with mental energy is not on the same level as the difficulty of bypassing a solid when scanning in the air.

This level of spiritual power is rare, not to mention among the younger generation, even among long-established masters.

Mo Fan stared intently at Xu Shen for a long time: "You pervert!"

"Alright, I'm getting numb to it. If you're so capable, come up with some new words."

"Beast! Animal!"

Xu Shen: "..."

Saga chuckled.

Although she couldn't understand much of the Chinese dialect, she could understand familiar proverbs that were common when she traveled abroad. "Alright, enough nonsense, let's dig!"

The two of them were working hard, and Shajia felt embarrassed to sit idly, so she asked Xu Shen for a shovel and started carrying soil outside.

However, while the three were working on the civil engineering project, more and more Nazca monsters gradually gathered.

Shaga's expression changed: "I almost forgot, the Nazca Forbidden Zone is not allowed to be damaged."

"This……"

"It's alright, I thought of this a long time ago," Xu Shen smiled and took out an array plate, saying, "This was made by Xiao Yu. It can withstand attacks from those below the monarch level for four hours."

This is a lie; it actually only took three hours.

Even so, it's still pretty awesome.

"so smart?!"

"However, its protected area is extremely limited, even smaller than the area covered by your evil book. Otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted this long. Let's dig it up as soon as possible."

With Xu Shen and Mo Fan's abnormal physiques, digging for four hours straight without stopping would be effortless for them.

However, there's no need to dig for so long.

The two had only been digging for an hour when Xu Shen discovered something amiss.

His spiritual power penetrated the rock strata and "saw" an ancient altar.

The altar was covered with all sorts of patterns, and the surrounding area was piled high with countless white bones, some of which had even been petrified, making it look eerie, sinister, and terrifying.

"Can the array patterns be copied? Should we continue digging deeper?"

"Need not."

Xu Shen waved his hand, focusing intently on observing the array patterns on the altar.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

This array is far more complex than the one Yu Mian commissioned for the Ninghua Evil Pearl.

Two hours was simply not enough for him to completely copy the formation.

Time was precious, and Xu Shen didn't have time to think much; he would just memorize as much as he could.

Two hours later, the magic circle shattered.

Xu Shen grabbed Shajia and ran away as fast as he could.

"Array Plate!"

Shaka kept turning back and calling out.

"Don't even think about it. This kind of array plate is for one-time use. Once it's used, it's useless. Your life is more important."

With a physique comparable to that of a monarch, Xu Shen ran extremely fast. The gust of wind choked Sha Jia, making her voice broken and intermittent: "And...and...Mo Fan."

"That guy is a space-type, he runs faster than a rabbit, ignore him."

Saga was choked and speechless, and could only bury her face in Xu Shen's chest.

Xu Shen smiled, opened his shirt, and pulled Shajia into his arms: "Hold on tight."

At this moment, the sky, the ground, and all directions were filled with Nazca Lines.

In the past, even someone as strong as Xu Shen would have had no choice but to wait for death if faced with such a desperate situation of being surrounded on all sides.

However, ever since they learned the weaknesses of these monsters...

For him, this great escape was nothing more than another art of tightrope walking.

It looks incredibly dangerous, but it's actually a close call.

Cute and innocent little Shaka, let the experienced driver show you what the suspension bridge effect is all about.

The small, malevolent sword emitted a long, mournful cry.

It accurately hit the strange bird with its seven-colored crest feathers that was swooping down.

The space in front of them suddenly emptied out.

Xu Shen leaped up and dodged the spider silk that the spider spit out.

The emerald vines entangled the white-tailed apes hidden among the beasts and flung them into the suicidal swooping flock of strange birds.

The net that should have been airtight suddenly opened up large gaps.

He slid in with a tackle, not forgetting to hold Shaka tightly in his arms.

In the blink of an eye, the constellation of light has taken shape.

Nine giants of light thrust out their spears, clearing away a large area around them.

Shaka moved very gently, afraid of disturbing Xu Shen.

She gently pulled aside the clothes covering her eyes, revealing a pair of amethyst-like eyes staring intently at Xu Shen's chin.

Those clear eyes gradually became mesmerizing.

Even my heartbeat was out of control.

A soft blush gradually spread across her fair face.

For some reason, the smell of this man's sweat was reassuring.

　Women are visual creatures. The above methods may seem cheesy, but they are indeed effective. They just require a little bit of modeling skill. Those who know, know.
