Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 100 was worth it.
"What courage do you have..." Shao Bai laughed, glancing at the five people who had fled in a sorry state, and then walked step by step toward Fang Yu.

"You want to compete for it?" Fang Yu asked, his eyes wide with suspicion.

Shao Bai is very powerful, and his origins are also very mysterious. No one knows what his trump cards are. Even the people at the ancient capital academy don't know much about him. They only mentioned some things about him: he has been living in seclusion in the Potala Palace for many years, and he also likes good food and hunting for women.

"Now that you've got the item, I'm not involved anymore."

"On the ship, I meant what I said; I genuinely wanted to befriend you. So from beginning to end, even after the dragon crocodile skin fell into your hands, I never laid a finger on you!" Shao Bai replied.

"If you're just going to give up like this, what's the point of you coming here?" Fang Yu said.

"It would be best if I could get it, but it doesn't matter if I can't. Compared to this value, it's not worth me making a move against you," Shao Bai replied.

Then, Shao Bai took out a small jade jar from his spatial ring, opened the lid, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. He then handed it to Fang Yu.

"This is the essence of some kind of plant-based demon, and it can be considered a miraculous healing medicine for your current condition."

"Thanks!"

Fang Yu accepted it without hesitation, because if he didn't recover from his injury soon, there might really be hidden dangers that could damage his foundation.

At the same time, he is now extremely weak and seriously injured, a very bad situation with no ability to avoid danger.

Fang Yu took the jade jar, sat cross-legged, looked at the fragrant liquid inside, and drank it down in one gulp.

Before long, he felt itchy all over, and some wounds were wriggling, indicating that the injuries were slowly healing.

Fang Yu stood up, recovering while sorting through the spoils of the battlefield. The remnants were all unclaimed, and this was an asset no less than that of a dragon crocodile skin.

Next, Shao Bai also got involved and began to clean up the mess.

As Fang Yu traversed the dragon crocodile's nest, even he was astonished to see that most of the creatures had been "broken apart," with their skeletons scattered everywhere!

He searched carefully and found some unusual bone remnants in the white crocodile; fortunately, it was not completely destroyed.

Chop off the remaining bones from the white crocodile, clean it thoroughly, and then chop its body into pieces...

Then, Fang Yu retrieved all the items left on the bodies of the fallen humans.

Before long, the two finished cleaning up. After confirming that nothing was missing, they each retrieved the items from the creatures they had killed, and the excess items were divided equally.

After putting the items into his spatial bag, Fang Yu said goodbye and said, "I'm leaving!"

"Why not stay here and wait for recovery? I can help take care of things," Shao Bai said.

The people on the island have most likely already received the information. After all, some people dropped out during the chaos, and there were also a few he let go. It's impossible to completely block the news.

While most people might think they are the ultimate winner, seeing Fang Yu walk out inevitably raises doubts.

If someone truly harbors malicious intent, the most likely scenario is that they are lying in wait on the outskirts, anticipating the return of those laden with spoils from the dragon crocodile's lair, so they can hunt them down and steal their hides.

"No!" Fang Yu replied. Favors are the hardest to repay, and he owed enough already. Besides, he had a backup plan to deal with the situation.

"This place serves as the lair of the white crocodiles. I will stay here and wait for the remaining white crocodiles to return so I can eliminate them. There are still risks outside, so be careful. If it becomes too dangerous, retreat!" Shao Bai advised.

"Okay." Fang Yu turned around, strode away, and soon walked out of the ancient cave, climbed out of the place where he had fallen, and came to the outside world.

At this moment, rain is falling from the sky!

In the distance, the sea roars and waves crash!
He observed that there was no sign of life outside, suggesting that they might be waiting for reinforcements to gather.

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then decided not to linger in the vicinity, as the crisis was not yet completely over. He continued forward, braving the rain, and arrived at the sandy beach.

He walked past rows of skeletons buried in the sand and washed up by the rain. After a while, Fang Yu arrived at the ship, but unfortunately, he found that there were no people staying on board.

It seems the university staff are still stranded on this island; they'll have to rely on themselves from now on.

Fang Yu retreated, and in the wind and rain, he strode forward, searching for a place to hide.

As night fell, he finally found a hidden cave. It was a desolate place, devoid of humans and even weeds, truly a godforsaken wasteland.

"This is it."

He crawled into the cave, carefully sensed the surroundings, and found that there were indeed no living beings around him before he began to adjust his own state.

……

And so time passed, and a night went by.

During that night, Fang Yu's injuries finally healed somewhat. His face was no longer pale, his magical energy was no longer depleted, and the fatigue from the killing had dissipated.

Recalling the previous killings, even with his considerable cultivation and combat strength, he still felt a fatigue he hadn't experienced in a long time. Fortunately, the gains this time were astonishing, which brought a sense of satisfaction to Fang Yu's expression.

Besides the dragon crocodile skin, his harvest included ten crocodile molts of general-level quality, and even more low-level crocodile molts.

In addition, there were several white crocodile bones.

As for the rest... Fang Yu calculated that they were probably worth tens of millions.

Most independent cultivators are poor. The reason Fang Yu gained so much was because so many people had perished. He took from each corpse, and the most valuable items were those of Ouyang Ye and the woman in black.

As for the rest, Fang Yu checked their pockets and found they were all very poor, which made Fang Yu somewhat regretful.

However, thinking about the gains he had made this time, Fang Yu stopped worrying about poverty.

"Including the dragon crocodile skin and previous hauls, it's worth about 200 million Kyushu coins," Fang Yu muttered to himself.

Now that his spatial ring was full, he had only one thought: to recover as quickly as possible, then go back and use the resources he had gained to rapidly improve his cultivation.

Five or six days passed in this way.

……

At this moment, Fang Yu, who was in a hidden cave, was affected by the environment. When he exhaled, his breath turned into white mist and even condensed into ice shards.

"This is……"

"The temperature has dropped sharply, is it snowing?" Fang Yu murmured.

The next moment, he walked out of the cave and looked up into the distance, where snowflakes were falling from time to time. At first, they were not very heavy, but as time went by, the area became a vast expanse of white, with snow falling and a thick fog.

"After all this time, they've finally found the dragon crocodile's trail..."

On the other side, outside the island, where Fang Yu was watching, snow was falling heavily on the sea, almost freezing the surface!

Ow...

At this moment, roars echoed from the sea. A white dragon crocodile, its entire body radiating light, surrounded by billowing gray mist, continuously shattered the ice. Like a peerless demon king, it roamed the sea surface, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it stared at the humans in front of it.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon-crocodile transformed into a white lightning bolt, amidst howling winds and churning seas, as it swooped down.

In an instant, a human blocking the dragon-crocodile's path suddenly stopped, his eyes vacant, blood gushing from his body, his mangled remains splattering everywhere. The dragon-crocodile opened its mouth and swallowed his shattered body whole.
