Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 117 Tunnel
On the way, Jingjing, who was known for her photographic memory, told everyone some things about the demon tribe. Mo Fan had a strong desire for knowledge and asked Jingjing some questions from time to time.

Luo Song, who was unhappy with Mo Fan, used the matter of Bo City to provoke Mo Fan. His words not only caused Mu Ningxue to scold him, but also earned him a fierce glare from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen has been hunting demons for a long time, so naturally he has a strong murderous aura.

Although Lin Chen tried to conceal it on purpose, as soon as he got angry, the hidden murderous aura would be released inadvertently.

Neither Mu Ningxue nor Lin Chen was easy to mess with. Along the way, Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao stood on Lin Chen's left and right. The three of them seemed very close. The relationship between the three was obvious. Their strength was the strongest among all. If you mess with any one of them, you would probably face revenge from the three of them. Luo Song could only shut his mouth obediently.

Lin Chen still wanted to show off and slap his face, but he found that these minor characters were not as stupid as in the original book. Maybe Mo Fan in the original book was too low-key?
At this time, they were about fifty kilometers away from Anjie. This area was relatively safe. There were mages patrolling and keeping watch, and they did not encounter any blind monsters. However, if they went deeper into the mountains and forests, it would be hard to say what would happen.

"We just need to follow this abandoned track!" Song Xia said, holding a map and pointing to the moss-covered railroad track under her feet.

In the past, the railway belonged to Anjie. With the destruction of Jinlin City, the area where this railway extended naturally became a place of demons. The railway track was a natural automatic route-finding sign, and there was nothing wrong with the road Song Xia pointed out.

Lin Chen did not express any opinion. Since they were out for training, the students of Mingzhu Academy would always be a team, and following the crowd was the best way. Lin Chen had always been approachable, and would convince people with virtue when encountering problems. Naturally, he would not do anything evil. Even if they went the wrong way in the end, Lin Chen was sure to protect the safety of Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue.

However, there are always some people who like to show off and seek attention.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I have always been the commander in the team. Since the school requires us to cooperate to complete this training mission, we can't be without rules. I will be the commander. You can give me your opinions, but I will decide the general direction. How to move forward, how to deal with monsters, and when to rest, all these are decided by me!" Lu Zhenghe was very polite and directly stated his identity as the leader.

After Lu Zhenghe said this, the students of the Imperial Capital Academy had no objection, but it was obviously impossible to ask the students of the Pearl Academy to follow his command.

Fortunately, everyone was in a good mood and nothing unexpected happened, and the decision was ultimately made through discussion.

After Mingzhu Academy asked Lin Chen for his opinion, they learned that Lin Chen had no interest in the position of commander, so Song Xia was finally given the command.

The students of Mingzhu Academy had no objection to this, as long as the command authority did not fall entirely in the hands of the Imperial Capital Academy, and Song Xia was also very serious and responsible.

The route forward had been decided, and everyone moved forward along the abandoned railway tracks. The journey was very smooth. Those who could appear here were all mages, who were also the elites of their respective schools, and had strong survival abilities in the wild.

The crowd stopped only when they reached a tunnel.

"I looked at the map. This tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of demons we encountered before, this tunnel is very likely inhabited by demons. I suggest that we go directly over the mountain and not deal with those unknown species and unknown numbers of creatures in the dark cave!" Song Xia said to the people behind her.

Lu Zhenghe immediately said, "I think you are being too cautious. No matter what's inside, just kill them. This tunnel is two kilometers long. If we cross the whole mountain, I don't know how long it will take!"

Some students also think that climbing over mountains and crossing rivers is too troublesome and it would be more direct to go through the tunnel.

Seeing this, Song Xia could only compromise and said, "Okay, let's go through, but who will walk in front?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghe immediately called out his warrior summoned beast and said, "Let me do it!" The summoned beast had strong vitality and was very fast, making it perfect for exploring the way.

"The person walking at the back must also be strong enough. He cannot be a summoned beast who cannot make a rational response in the first place when something happens." Lu Zhenghe continued.

Song Xia said: "I'll go to the back!"

As soon as Song Xia finished speaking, Xu Dalong from the Imperial Capital Academy said attentively, "Let us men do this kind of dangerous thing!"

Song Xia didn't say much about Xu Dalong's volunteering. After all, Xu Dalong majored in earth-related subjects and was indeed more suitable than her to provide everyone with backup and protection.

Then, Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao took the lead and walked at the front of the team with Lu Zhenghe's summoned beast. Both of them majored in wind system and could respond to emergencies the fastest.

Zhao Manyan and Song Xia released the Light Skill, controlling the light ball to float above their heads and illuminate the front.

The cave had obviously not had sunlight for a long time. Zhao Manyan and Song Xia had to light up a light spell every ten or so meters they walked. On the one hand, it was used for lighting, and on the other hand, it was used to dispel the foul air in the cave.

Regardless of whether the foul air is poisonous or not, it is definitely not good to breathe it in. It is the smell released by damp and poisonous weeds, the feces of demons, and the miasma that has been deposited due to lack of ventilation for many years.

"What's going on ahead?"

"Nothing, it's just strange that there seems to be some white gravel scattered here."

"It's probably left over from a previous project. Let's keep moving forward!"

Song Xia was quite serious and responsible. She would ask questions every once in a while, and her attitude was very vigilant.

Lin Chen had an easy and pleasant journey. The two beauties on his left and right were both in a state of fear. Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao's delicate bodies exuded a faint fragrance all the time, which was particularly attractive in this narrow tunnel.

In this training, the two girls' strength is unique, one is a high-level magician, and the other is a super-level magician. But they are just girls after all, and they are inevitably nervous and scared in this eerie tunnel.

Lin Chen put his arms around the two girls' shoulders to calm their nervous mood, but even so, as they walked along, the two girls' delicate bodies would tremble from time to time.

Lin Chen asked in a frivolous tone, "You two are as close as sisters, why aren't you hiding from me today?"

The next second, Lin Chen's expression changed drastically, and his handsome face was full of pain. Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue's hands were on Lin Chen's waist, twisting it hard.
