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

Chapter 92 White Crocodile Shedding Its Skin
"Mu Ningxue!"

Fang Yu silently recited the name in his heart.

The woman was indeed stunning, so much so that he was slightly distracted and somewhat dazed. She was exquisitely beautiful, almost like a dream.

However, based on his understanding, Mu Ningxue was cold, aloof, and better at hiding her emotions; at the same time, she would bring a lot of trouble later on.

"We've been discovered!" Mu Ningxue muttered to herself.

The two looked at each other across the lake, but quickly looked away.

Fang Yu withdrew his gaze and silently waited for the white crocodile to arrive.

Fang Yu's actions just now did achieve his desired goal. Everyone around him was now extremely wary of him and on guard, which brought peace back to the area.

And so, in this delicate balance, time slowly passed. The night was over, and the next morning, as the sun began to shine, Fang Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked down the mountain.

Almost at the same time he looked, more than a dozen other gazes followed in the same direction.

Where everyone's eyes were focused, a rumbling sound came from the foot of the mountain, as if some enormous creature was struggling to roam.

Soon, Fang Yu saw a white crocodile, seven or eight meters long, emerge from the stream.

This white crocodile is entirely white-gray, its skin resembling old tree bark, showing the marks of time. It reflects a grayish light in the sunlight, and there seems to be a gap between the skin and the body, as if it is being peeled off little by little.

At this moment, the white crocodile crawled over, panting heavily, as if every second brought some pain, but it did not stop for a moment.

Although its aura was weak, the power it exuded, comparable to that of a warrior general, still made everyone hold their breath slightly. The white crocodile obviously couldn't have been unaware of the people present, yet it didn't seem to care at all.

As it struggled to swim towards the mountaintop lake, the roaring sound behind it never ceased, and in the streams, you could see a second, a third, a fourth...

A total of six white crocodiles appeared one after another.

"Six white crocodile skins of warrior-level quality!" Fang Yu's breathing quickened slightly. He knew very well that such skins would fetch tens of millions at auction.

At this moment, Fang Yu looked at these white crocodiles, his eyes gleaming, as if he were looking not at demons, but at funds and resources.

But no one else made any rash moves, and Fang Yu waited silently as well.

As the roar grew closer, the six white crocodiles struggled to swim ashore, ignoring all the mages around them, and reached the center of the lake under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After swimming into the lake, the six white crocodiles roared and their bodies trembled violently, as if they were using all their strength to shed their skin.

The roar of the white crocodile echoed in all directions, shaking the hearts of all the magicians who were watching.

Fang Yu's eyes grew sharper and sharper as he saw the skin of the white crocodiles, which already had varying degrees of gaps between itself and its body, rapidly separating as they struggled.

The whole process lasted half an hour.

The first white crocodile successfully shed its skin, regained its strength, and swam away.

The crocodile molt left on the lake was no longer gray, but shone with a white light. The patterns on it were clearly visible, and it even had a crystal-clear appearance. It looked like a precious gem shining there, and it looked like a white crocodile of the same size.

But still no one took action.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, remaining motionless. After waiting a while longer, until the second, third, and fourth white crocodiles had all finished molting and left, someone moved the moment the last white crocodile's molted skin fell off.

The one who made the move was a thin old man, riding a large snake. He moved with incredible speed, like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for the lake. The other mages around him also rushed out in an instant, their resolve exploding in that moment.

Fang Yu also swayed, summoning his demonic footwork. His entire body left afterimages in the treetops, his speed astonishing, creating a whooshing sound as he strode across the water and plunged into the lake.

In an instant, more than a dozen mages entered the lake, their target being the six crocodile molts. In the blink of an eye, they began a ruthless struggle and slaughter among themselves.

A deafening roar echoed as Fang Yu, like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealed his sharpness. Upon reaching the target, he grabbed at a crocodile molt. Beside him, a male mage dressed in a straw raincoat, his eyes flashing with cold light, intervened to stop him.

"roll!"

As he spoke, the man in the straw raincoat waved his hand, and in an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a storm formed, spreading from his body. He cast the spell Wind Disc - Tornado, creating a storm of pressure that rushed towards Fang Yu Town.

Fang Yu remained expressionless as his aura suddenly erupted, spreading a frosty white light in all directions, accompanied by the rumbling sound of ice and snow.

"Zero Domain - Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

With a raised left hand and a swing, the storm shattered the instant the ice lock was unleashed.

The man in the straw raincoat's expression suddenly changed drastically. He had already judged that the person in front of him was quite powerful, but now that he had made a move and saw the ice lock easily shatter the storm, his heart skipped a beat.

"This power is probably at the third level of the mid-tier?"

As he spoke, he suddenly retreated, summoning his shield magic artifact. Fragments of the shield gathered together, quickly rising up and coalescing into a shield, which stood in front of the man in the straw raincoat.

boom!
Sparks flew everywhere, the sound almost ripped eardrums, and the frosty white ice lock, blocked, shattered.

But Fang Yu was ruthless and cold-blooded, and his brilliance shone again.

Chi!
An ice lock stretched across the sky, its immense pressure piercing through everything.

It shattered the opponent's shield magic tool directly and slammed into the man in the straw raincoat.

Blood gushed out, the man in the straw raincoat screamed, his body struck as if hit by a mountain, and he crashed onto the lake with a thud.

In the moment of crisis, the man in the straw raincoat fought desperately, gritting his teeth as he swam up, casting the spell Wind Track - Shadow Strike. A whirlwind surrounded him, his body blurred, and the next instant he appeared more than ten meters away.

When he turned around, he saw that Fang Yu was not chasing after him. He breathed a sigh of relief. The shield magic tool was his strongest backup plan, but it was useless. He was completely defeated. A great fear arose in his heart. That man was too terrifying!

Seeing the other party escape, Fang Yu didn't have time to chase after them. He grabbed the crocodile molt in front of him, put it away, and then tried to snatch the second one. But just as he was about to continue his attack, a low growl came from afar.

Fang Yu suddenly turned his head and saw a hunter mage in the distance, who had set his sights on the last white crocodile that was about to leave.

However, he was struck by the white crocodile's tail and immediately suffered a severe injury. Then, the crocodile's tail lashed out again, and in an instant, a scream rang out. The hunter mage died a miserable death.

Fang Yu took a breath. This combat power... He withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to it. He would focus on seizing the crocodile molt first before considering anything else.

The next moment, Fang Yu glanced at the distant lake, silently rushed out, and headed straight for the group of mages who were fighting over the crocodile molt.

A cold glint flashed as he unleashed a series of ice locks, which spread rapidly. Anything that stood in his way was instantly and severely damaged. A gust of cold wind lifted Fang Yu's hair, revealing the sharpness in his eyes.

In the end, he snatched the second crocodile molt from the three mages. By now, the other four molts also had owners, and each one was incredibly bloody, standing firm in battle and intimidating others.

Ignoring him, Fang Yu suddenly stepped back and returned to the treetop, took out a jade box, and sealed the crocodile molt.
