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

Chapter 79 Crisis Land
The unicorn was incredibly fast and had a keen sense of perception, allowing it to avoid many dangerous birds of prey and beasts. By noon, it had already covered three or four hundred miles.

This unicorn is truly extraordinary; it traverses mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground—it's incredibly fast.

Over the past few days, they have traveled thousands of miles. With the presence of unicorns, they can travel very fast. Along the way, they have crossed mountains and streams, avoided many demons, and searched many places, but have not found their target.

Of course, several fierce battles inevitably occurred, and even now, they have not completely shaken off the pursuit, as a large, five-colored worm has been chasing them for two days.

The demon was persistent; whenever Fang Yu and the others stopped, it would follow their scent and relentlessly pursue them.

This is a giant, colorful worm that is tens of meters long. It is incredibly powerful and has thick, tough skin. When it opens its mouth, it spews out a sticky substance that melts the stone wall, leaving it riddled with holes.

According to Fang Yu's estimation, it was far more powerful than any demon he had ever encountered. The only saving grace was that it couldn't catch up with the unicorn.

"Let's go, or that big worm will come again." Fang Yu mounted his horse. He believed that after several days of relentless pursuit, the worm would eventually tire and give up.

The unicorn raised its head and let out a long howl, its whole body shimmering with silver light.

Suddenly, Fang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Quick, it's here again!"

"puff!"

As soon as they rushed out, a wave crashed in, a misty mass, crashing down on the mountainside. Instantly, all the ancient trees and rocks were dissolved, hissing and turning into white smoke.

With a hum, a burst of light flashed and descended like a net, enveloping the area.

"Hurry up!" Fang Yu shouted.

With a deafening roar, the mountainside split open, billowing dust and smoke. Perilous as they rushed towards the distance.

A five-colored worm appeared, as thick as a water vat, its body shimmering with brilliant runes. It was not a python, but it was even more ferocious than them. It roared angrily, and just a little short, it twisted its massive body and leveled the mountain forest.

Suddenly, a bird's cry rang out, and it was as if a dark cloud had fallen from the sky as a huge bird, over a hundred meters long, swooped down from above the cloud.

The giant worm panicked and hurriedly raised its head, spewing out a burst of light to fight back with its innate demonic magic.

"puff!"

The ferocious bird blotted out the sky, and when it opened its mouth, a beam of fire like a galaxy fell down, flattening the entire mountainside. Rocks flew through the air, and the giant worm was directly smashed into several pieces.

The giant bird swooped down and began a bloody feast!
This is the wilderness, full of danger and terrifying monsters. One moment you might be majestic and awe-inspiring, and the next you might become food for other creatures.

This is a dog-eat-dog world, where everything is bloody and there is no logic to it.

Fang Yu is tasked with searching for his target in the wilderness, where he will face countless hardships and dangers along the way.

Next, Fang Yu fought many bloody battles, encountered numerous dangers, and slew many demons.

In just eight or nine days, he was already dressed in rags, with several of his clothes stained red with blood and torn.

Along the way, he fought countless battles and in less than ten days he had become a little savage, covered in demon blood, without even having time to wash it off.

Even the unicorn mount has perished on these colorful mountains.

……

Two more days passed.

Fang Yu wandered alone in a forest of dead trees, lost and disoriented...

Here, every dead tree on all sides looks exactly the same, and the fallen leaves all over the ground make it impossible to tell which way is which, creating a maze-like terrain.

I'm tired of walking.

After sitting down to rest for a while, Fang Yu wondered whether he should forcefully cast a spell to break through, which would be better than wandering aimlessly around the dead forest.

"Aaaaaah!!!" Suddenly, screams of agony came from another direction in the deadwood forest. The shrill cries echoed through the forest, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"The human screams... are they really suspicious?"

Fang Yu's expression darkened.

I ran toward the source of the screams. As I ran, a gust of wind blew by, carrying a strong smell of blood from the direction I was heading.

A few moments.

When Fang Yu arrived at the location.

In the center of the discovery site, dense vines formed a plant cage, protecting a figure in the center.

"Puff puff!!!!"

Several dead trees around them had actually sprung up from the ground, wriggling on the ground with their roots and tendrils. Their branches were sharp as spears, sharp and terrifying, constantly piercing the plant cage at an extremely fast speed.

Fang Yu looked around again and saw that the two middle-aged men in military green uniforms had their hearts pierced, and blood was dripping down their bodies. It seemed that this was the source of the screams.

Suddenly, a sharp, withered tree trunk stabbed towards Fang Yu, and the attack came from the very withered tree where he was standing!

Fang Yu immediately leaped up to avoid the attack, but before he could land in mid-air...

"Bang bang~~~"

The withered tree spirits had already surrounded them, and they could see thick, withered tree trunks swinging heavily from all directions overhead.

"Spatial Rhythm and Time Lag!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Fang Yu immediately drew a silver star map, his whole body surrounded by silver light.

The space around him inexplicably stagnated, and even the airflow became incredibly slow.

These attacking deadwood logs entered a time-slowing force field, causing their speed to drop drastically.

"so close!"

Fang Yu landed from mid-air and took a few steps back to avoid the attack.

"Little Snow Woman, possess me!"

Fang Yu summoned Little Snow Maiden, whose porcelain doll-like body crashed into his chest, instantly freezing his entire body. Icy blue frost filled the surroundings with an explosive force...

next moment.

Fang Yu immediately unleashed his magic, and a frost-white radiance bloomed. More and more frost-white ice and snow appeared, some falling to the ground, some swirling around him lightly and orderly, and even more frost-white ice and snow dancing in the air, waiting for Fang Yu's command!
Fang Yu stood amidst the frosty white snow, his posture upright and aloof, like a snow monarch descending from the summit of a snow mountain.

"The Ice Phoenix Spreads Its Wings!"

Fang Yu's voice, carrying a hint of authority, fell.

Then, all the ice and snow that filled the air, the ground, and the dead trees flew into the sky and formed two lifelike ice and snow phoenixes above Fang Yu!

Two Ice and Snow Phoenixes, with their enormous wings and long feathers, soared through the sky. After a moment, one of the Ice and Snow Phoenixes locked onto the withered tree spirit on the ground and swooped down from the high sky, bringing with it a large cloud of ice mist.

The roots of the withered tree spirits slammed heavily onto the ground, and instantly, thick tree trunks burst forth from the soil, closing in to form a perfect protective barrier, shielding the withered tree spirits below.

The Ice and Snow Phoenix landed on the defense, creating a huge patch of frozen frost.
