Versatile Mage: Dragon's Lair, Lord of the Dragon Clan!

Chapter 7: Giant-Eyed Rat's Lair
In just three days, Lin Chen completed ten tasks. In addition, he brought back the corpses of hundreds of demon wolves.

If Lin Chen had not thrown most of the demon wolf corpses into the demon blood sacrifice pool, the number would probably have doubled.

The rewards for these ten tasks would be very considerable even if given to a full team of five people, let alone to Lin Chen alone.

Lin Chen's hunter level jumped directly from elementary to advanced, and he was only one elite hunter away from becoming a hunter master.

After completing the task, Lin Chen continued to rush to the outside of Anjie without stopping, leaving Zhan Kong, who wanted to arrest someone, to return empty-handed.

As for why Zhan Kong wanted to capture Lin Chen...

In the military territory, there were also people arranged by Zhan Kong in the Hunter Association who were responsible for recording young people with extremely high talents and then looking for opportunities to recruit them into the military.

This is an unwritten rule between the Hunter Association and the military. To be protected by the military magician, one naturally has to give some benefits.

These benefits are not only reflected in the fact that the military does not need to pay any fees when posting tasks in the Hunter Association, but also in all aspects. For example, military mages have a higher priority in accepting tasks than ordinary hunters.

Lin Chen had just completed his registration not long ago, and his identity as a summoning mage had already attracted the attention of the military at the Xuefeng Mountain Station.

In just three days, Lin Chen brought back the corpse of a three-eyed demon wolf. In addition, there were hundreds of one-eyed demon wolves, which directly alarmed Zhan Kong.

Zhan Kong came directly to the mission hall to arrest people without saying a word. Even if Lin Chen was not acting alone, being able to participate in such a mission itself meant a lot.

Besides, Lin Chen is only seventeen years old. In school, he is a student who cannot even cast magic. Zhan Kong cannot miss such a young talent.

Who knew that after completing the task, Lin Chen didn't rest at all, but directly took on the second task and left Anjie again.

Zhan Kong has to protect Bo City and cannot leave easily, so he can only wait for Lin Chen.

"This kid, I wonder if he wants to be promoted to a Hunter Master here? Speaking of which, there is no Hunter Master in Bo City yet."

A Hunter Master must be at least high-level. Zhan Kong shook his head and rejected the idea.

If Lin Chen really belonged to a family, it would be difficult to recruit him into the military.

It goes without saying that a family member who can collect the points of hundreds of demons on his own has a very high status. It is difficult to win over such a person unless he wants to develop in the military himself.

On the other side, Lin Chen was unaware that he had attracted Zhan Kong's attention and was concentrating on killing the demon wolf.

There are simply too many demon wolves near Bo City. There are probably tens of thousands of Winged Wolf's men alone. Including the entire Nanling Mountains, over 100,000 is a conservative estimate. Lin Chen simply cannot kill them all.

Looking at the increasing amount of water in the pool, Lin Chen was full of energy.

"Open 2 white orbs and 1 green orb."

During this period, Lin Chen also obtained three magic balls, so he opened them all at once.

Unfortunately, only three materials were produced. Lin Chen didn’t even have the interest to take a second look at them and threw them directly into the demon blood sacrifice pool.

The demon blood sacrifice pool increased slightly.

"As expected, there's no future in living off the minimum living allowance. I still have to work on my own."

Lin Chen sighed. He had hunted hundreds of magic wolves in three days, which was more than what these magic balls could produce. Unless the current magic balls could produce embryos and high-level materials, they were no different from minimum living allowances.

Time quickly came to dusk, the sunlight was dim, and Lin Chen squinted his eyes.

"Xiao Hei, find a place to rest."

Xiao Hei withdrew the dragon claw that was inserted into the magic wolf with reluctance and looked for a cave.

The cave is quite big, and Xiao Hei can also enter it.

Xiao Hei was crawling on the ground. Lin Chen was riding on Xiao Hei, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Xiao Hei, don't you think this cave is a little too deep?"

Lin Chen looked at the depths before him, feeling somewhat uneasy. Xiao Hei nodded, sniffed a few times, and growled softly.

"You mean you smelled something disgusting?"

Lin Chen frowned and reached out to wipe the stone wall.

Dust and a few short hairs appeared on the fingers.

Lin Chen twisted the short hair, which was hard and felt like small steel needles.

"I'm afraid we've reached the cave of the giant-eyed rat."

Xiao Hei roared, and the dragon roar penetrated the entire cave. The empty sound lasted for a long time.

The dragon's roar faded away, and Lin Chen could hear some rustling sounds going away.

"Let's go in and take a look."

At Lin Chen's command, Xiao Hei rushed into the deep cave.

The surrounding stone walls gradually shrank, becoming narrower as one went inside. There were also traces of gnawing around them. Lin Chen became more and more certain that there were giant-eyed fishy rats living in there.

After just a few steps, Lin Chen saw a giant-eyed, smelly rat lying dead on the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices.

Lin Chen took out a knife and cut open the belly of the giant-eyed fishy rat. The damaged internal organs flowed all over the floor, and the fishy smell made even Xiao Hei, who was not a picky eater, refuse to eat it.

It seems that this giant-eyed fishy rat died because its internal organs were shattered by Xiao Hei's dragon roar just now.

Lin Chen casually threw it into the blood sacrifice pool. No matter what it tasted like, it would all be the same after the blood sacrifice.

"Let's go, Xiao Hei, and see how much is left in here."

Lin Chen picked up the corpses as he walked, and he picked up seven or eight giant-eyed fishy rats alone, and threw them all into the demon blood sacrifice pool.

When Xiao Hei could only walk with his wings folded, Lin Chen finally saw a huge space.

The space in front of me was like a round hole in the center. The surrounding rock walls were covered with small holes, and giant-eyed fishy rats crawled out from time to time.

"The headquarters of the giant-eyed fishy rat?"

Lin Chen hid behind a rock, and Xiao Hei also hid himself in black.

Looking at the cave in the distance, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. "I wonder if there's a tunnel leading to Bo City here. Has the Black Church started planning so quickly?"

The rehearsal of Bo City is the catastrophe of the ancient capital, so it is reasonable to prepare two years in advance. However, the Fountain of Fury can only make the giant-eyed rats irritable. How did they dig the cave to enter Bo City in advance?

Lin Chen thought of a possibility, that is, the people of the Black Church had already dug a tunnel in advance, and then used some method to lure the giant-eyed fishy rats to Bo City.

Lin Chen looked down and saw hundreds of giant-eyed rats sharing the corpse of an unknown demon, including a dozen blood-patterned giant rats.

The giant-eyed fishy rat is nothing to be feared. This kind of monster can't even beat the one-eyed wolf. Its so-called sharp teeth probably can't even break Xiao Hei's scales.

The real threat is the blood-veined giant rat. As a warrior-level creature, more than a dozen of them rushing forward can still cause some trouble for Xiao Hei.

Fortunately, they are already underground, so there is no need to worry about the strong dragon aura attracting powerful demons. Lin Chen can release all three dragons at once.

"Xiao Hei, smell it and see if there's any other smell. It's probably something very disgusting and sinister."

Xiao Hei flared his nostrils twice and shook his head firmly.

"Dad, there's only the disgusting smell of rats here. There's no other smell that makes me uncomfortable."

After getting Xiao Hei's affirmative answer, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and directly released Roudun and Xiao Lan.
