Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 89: Cooperate with the Fifth Level Rock Scepter - Sand Prison
Lingling was a little surprised when she heard Qin Xiaonan's words. How did Qin Xiaonan know that she was carrying out a mission here? But now was not the time to delve into this.

With Qin Xiaonan's help, the situation might be better. His magic skills have reached the intermediate level and should be much stronger than Mo Fan, who was recruited recently.

"Qin Xiaonan, report your location! I need to synchronize the Banshee's real-time intelligence." Lingling's voice came from the communicator with a bit of seriousness.

Mu Nujiao listened attentively to the conversation between Lingling and Qin Xiaonan. The moonlight shone through the glass window onto her delicate face, reflecting a pair of eyes sparkling with determination.

She opened her red lips and said to Qin Xiaonan, "There's no problem on my side. We can take action at any time." Her voice was soft but firm.

"Go straight along the corridor you are on now. The Scaled Demon Mother is on the west side of the third floor."

Just as they were about to turn into the stairwell, Lingling suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Wait! There are three banshees shedding their skin in the side hall on the first floor!"

Almost at the same time, a creepy "hissing" sound came from below.

Through the cracks in the railings, I could see three twisted humanoid figures twitching in agony. Their fair skin peeled off piece by piece, as if torn by invisible hands, revealing the interlaced blue and black scales beneath. Sticky bodily fluids dripped down the newly formed scales.

“Tear——”

With the crisp sound of cloth breaking, the last bit of human skin disguise completely collapsed.

Three completely demonized bodies suddenly raised their heads, their blue-yellow vertical pupils glowing faintly in the darkness.

One of them suddenly stretched out its scarlet tongue, and the forked tip of the tongue accurately licked the blood three meters away, making a satisfied "hissing" sound.

Qin Xiaonan's eyes flashed, and he took action the moment he discovered them. The brown magic light spread like ripples.

"Ground Wave Sand Trap!"

The Level 5-enhanced Star Child unleashed a startling surge of magical energy, instantly softening the ground into a vortex of quicksand. Simultaneously, the effect of the Spirit Seed "Sand Dust" was triggered, and countless tiny grains of sand entwined themselves like living creatures, firmly imprisoning the three banshees.

Seeing this, Mu Nujiao did not hesitate at all. She jumped up lightly, and the light blue wind magic lingered around her.

"Wind Disk Tornado!"

A violent hurricane suddenly appeared, instantly engulfing the three banshees. The wind blades were like knives, slicing through their scales like crazy.

"laugh--!"

In just five breaths, the three banshees that had just shed their skin were dead.

"Good cooperation." Qin Xiaonan nodded slightly.

Mu Nujiao's lips curled slightly, but her eyes still scanned the surroundings vigilantly. The three servant-level demons were just warm-ups for them. The real threat—the scaly mother demon—was still waiting for them upstairs.

The defeated banshees' dark blue scales peeled away like dead leaves, revealing pale human skin beneath. The three girls, their bodies covered in hideous bloodstains from molting, trembled in agony.

Qin Xiaonan frowned slightly and squatted down, a soft, healing light emanating from his palms. A milky white halo enveloped the girls' wounds, stopping the bleeding and healing them, gradually stabilizing their rapid breathing.

“It’s all right for now.”

The girl huddled herself together in shock, her pale lips still trembling.

"Thank you, thank you," a girl with a ponytail mustered up the courage to speak, her voice as soft as a mosquito.

Seeing that they had regained consciousness, the two of them did not waste any more time and headed towards the third floor.

The number of green and yellow banshees on the third floor has increased significantly. Their half-human, half-demon bodies are twisted, and their scales are flashing strangely under the dim light.

Qin Xiaonan was in charge of the situation, using earth magic to separate and trap the banshees, while Mu Nujiao transformed into a whirlwind of death, slaying every demon in her path. Qin and Mu were able to handle the servant-level demons with ease.

At this moment, the Scaled Demon Mother stood on the elevator platform, looking at the thousands of people below, a bloodthirsty glint in her eyes. However, she felt a very strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.

At this moment, Mu Nujiao and Qin Xiaonan broke in one after another.

The vertical pupils of the scaly-skinned demon mother suddenly shrank into lines, but when it saw who was coming, its tense muscles slowly relaxed, and even a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of its mouth.

"Just the two of you?" The demon mother's hoarse voice was filled with undisguised contempt. It was obvious that she did not think these two people were her opponents.

Before she finished her words, the figure of the demon mother suddenly blurred - only a blue-black afterimage was seen passing through the air, and its sharp claws went straight for Mu Nujiao's throat.

"Be careful!" Qin Xiaonan reacted very quickly.

"Rock Barrier Sand Shield!"

A thick granite shield condensed out of thin air, with sand and dust patterns blessed by spiritual seeds flowing on the shield surface.

The demon mother's sharp claws came straight at her with a piercing scream, but stopped the moment it touched the sand shield - the seemingly ordinary sand and dust barrier contained the sticky properties of the spiritual seed "Sand Dust". The fine sand and gravel wrapped around its claws like a living thing, slowing down its attack!
It was during this momentary delay that Mu Nujiao took action.

"Magic Vine Binding!"

Dozens of thorny vines covered with barbs wrapped around the body and limbs of the demon mother.

The demon mother roared angrily, and the scales all over her body stood up, breaking most of the vines with force.

But before it could completely escape, Mu Nujiao's second magic had already arrived -

"Kun's Forest, Prison!"

Following Mu Nujiao's cold shout, dozens of tree trunks broke out of the ground and intertwined in the air to form an airtight cage.

However, the scaly-skinned demon mother's reaction was astonishingly fast!

The moment the first tree trunk broke through the ground, its slender body arched like a spring.

“A trifle!”

The demon mother grinned, her form suddenly blurring. With incredible flexibility, she weaved through the rapidly growing tree trunks, her sharp claws severing branches with each strike. The magical trees were easily torn apart by her claws, like tofu.

"Whoosh——"

A green shadow flashed by, and the demon mother unexpectedly rushed out from the crack in the top of the prison cell. It used the last tree trunk to gain momentum and kicked, and its whole body shot towards Mu Nujiao like an arrow.

Mu Nujiao saw the demon rushing towards her, but she did not dodge because she saw that Qin Xiaonan's magical power had been accumulated and burst out with strong earth magic.

"Yan Zhang - Prison of Sand."

Qin Xiaonan's earth magic star has been strengthened to the fifth level, and the power it unleashes is far stronger than ordinary earth magic.

The gravel rotated, and the quicksand turned into eight brown barriers, quickly blocking all the retreat routes of the Scale-Skinned Demon Mother.

The demon mother screamed angrily and tore at the sand wall with her sharp claws, but she was shocked to find that these seemingly loose quicksands were actually tougher than fine steel.

Every time its claws swung, it felt like it was cutting into sticky gelatin. The more it struggled, the tighter the sand became!
