Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

Chapter 24 Dark Blue Crocodile Demon
Just as Xu Beichen was chatting with Mu Qing and Dongfang Ling, Mu Ye suddenly walked over here with a gentle smile on his handsome face, but a hint of arrogance between his brows.

"Young Master." Mu Qing replied hurriedly.

Xu Beichen carefully looked at the eldest young master of the Mu family, who was about twenty-four years old.

Anyone who breaks through to a high level before the age of 25 can be considered a genius, but this person has the support of the Mu family, so his ability to cultivate to a high level at such a young age can only be considered average.

"Didn't I tell you, Mu Qing, you can just call me brother from now on."

Mu Ye showed that he valued Mu Qing very much. Although Mu Qing was only a side branch, he was very talented and had also contracted a demon beast with a commander-level bloodline.

Now the Mu family attaches great importance to the training of Mu Qing. Even if Mu Qing cannot break through to the super level in the future, he will be a powerful summoner.

"Brother Mu Ye."

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then shouted after a moment.

"Is this the Boss Xu I mentioned?"

Mu Ye looked at Xu Beichen who was standing next to Mu Qing, with curiosity in his eyes. He had heard that Mu Qing's contracted beast was purchased from this boss Xu.

Mu Qing first glanced at Xu Beichen, and after seeing him nod, he said, "That's right."

"I heard that Boss Xu is doing business with the Dongfang family. Why doesn't he come to our Mu family? Whatever the Dongfang family can give, our Mu family can also give." Mu Ye said with a smile.

After these words were spoken, Dongfang Ling, who was standing behind Mu Qing, looked unhappy.

Do you think I don't exist?
"Haha, the Mu family wants to talk about business, but first find someone who can make decisions." Xu Beichen said lightly.

If you want to collect hundreds of thousands of points in a short period of time, relying solely on the Dongfang family is definitely not enough.

The Mu family is also a very suitable choice, but Xu Beichen does not want to negotiate with the eldest young master of the Mu family because he is not qualified.

Mu Ye's face darkened. After all, he had participated in several family decision-makings and would be the patriarch of the Mu family in the future. Yet, this man actually said that he was not qualified.

"Since Boss Xu has said so, I will discuss this with the elders when I return."

Mu Ye did not lose his mind because of one sentence. He now needs to perform well enough to gain the support of the elders of the clan.

After saying some polite words, Mu Ye turned around and shouted to the team, "Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

Apart from Xu Beichen, Lingling and Jiang Shaojun, the team has about twenty people, and the average bounty is more than 20 million.

Of course, there are several high-level mages among these twenty people, and they will definitely take the lion's share of the bounty.

After leaving Anjie, the team headed north, crossed countless hills, and finally stopped in front of a river.

"There's a monster in this river called the Ink Blue Crocodile Monster. Not only does it have an incredible bite force, but it's also hard to spot when it hides in the water. Everyone, be careful."

A very experienced middle-aged hunter-mage asked everyone to stop and began to explain.

Just as everyone was about to investigate, Mu Ye walked forward and said to the middle-aged hunter mage:
"Why stop? I didn't spend a lot of money to treat you to a sightseeing tour. It's just a crocodile monster, not worth mentioning."

When these words were spoken, all the magic hunters were stunned. They never expected that this young master would say such a thing. It was obvious that his gentle appearance was just a lie.

"Is this the eldest young master of your Mu family?"

Dongfang Ling was already somewhat unhappy with Mu Ye, and after seeing this scene, he immediately started complaining to Mu Qing next to him.

Mu Qing smiled awkwardly. He certainly knew what kind of temper this young master had.

Before entering the main campus, he looked down on him, but now his attitude has changed 180 degrees.

In Mu Ye's eyes, everything is based on profit, and when there is no profit to be gained, his cold side can be seen. Xu Beichen, on the other hand, had a calm expression, as he had some understanding of Mu Ye.

In the original novel, when the Mu family was mining the fire vein, he even planned to let the mages try one by one, completely disregarding their lives.

Soon, Mu Ye and the middle-aged hunting mage came up with a plan. They asked several ice mages to freeze the river, and then the team rushed to the other side at once.

"This plan is too hasty."

Jiang Shaojun frowned. The river was at least fifty meters wide, and not all mages had wind-type and magic-walking tools.

Once someone falls behind, the risk factor will increase sharply.

"With the bite force of the Dark Blue Crocodile Monster, the ice surface they created is as good as paper."

As a master monster hunter, Lingling also has some understanding of the dark blue crocodile monster.

"This is not something we can control. Lingling, get on my back first." Xu Beichen said to Lingling.

Although Lingling often eats soul beast meat and develops faster than her peers, she is still just an ordinary person and is not good enough to stand up to the demons.

After Xu Beichen carried Lingling on his back, he said to Jiang Shaojun, "Pay attention to the situation behind you. There might be an accident."

Jiang Shaojun nodded. Even if Xu Beichen didn't say it, he would definitely save her given his personality.

The ice mages, led by the middle-aged hunter mage, began to freeze the ice surface. With the presence of a high-level ice mage, the freezing was very smooth this time.

When the ice surface leading directly to the other side appeared, everyone rushed over with all their might. The mages without wind-type and walking magic tools were soon left behind.

“Crack~~~!!!!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of ice cracking from the back, and dark blue objects easily cut through the ice like blades.

Xu Beichen glanced back and saw a long, flat mouth full of sharp fangs. It was the dark blue crocodile monster!
What a terrible bite force!
If it were a wizard, he would probably be bitten into pieces in an instant!
"Help!"

A female mage had her calf caught in a crack in the ice and was unable to pull it out, so she had to ask others for help.

But the other hunters just took a look, then looked away and continued running towards the other side, not caring about other people at this time.

At this time, most of the mages had reached the other side, but they had not yet chosen to take action.

Because once the ice surface is broken, everyone else on the ice will be buried with it!
Seeing this, Jiang Shaojun decisively used his mental power to try to control the nearest dark blue crocodile monster.

But the dark blue crocodile monster seemed to have a premonition and dived directly under the ice, causing Jiang Shaojun to lose his target in an instant.

"Hopeless."

The middle-aged hunter sighed. Although it was cruel to leave it alone, there was nothing they could do.

"Everyone, get ready for battle. These dark blue crocodile monsters will come ashore again, and they will never give up their prey easily." The middle-aged hunting mage continued.

The female mage, whose calf was stuck in the gap, saw that they had no intention of taking action, and a look of despair appeared on her face.

“Ga ga ga!!!!”

The sound of ice breaking was getting closer and closer, and the fangs of a dark blue crocodile monster suddenly shot out from her side.

"Mind control!"
