Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

When fighting a mage, you always have to hold back, and you can't use many of your trump cards recklessly. Training is different; I can find an opportunity to leave the group and go my own way—the whole city is my hunting ground!

Even if he encounters a commander-level demon, even if Xu Fang can't defeat it, if he is determined to run away, the other party definitely won't be able to stop him!

"Just to be safe, it's better to get some gadgets." Xu Fang took out his phone and dialed Qin Li's number.

"Teacher Qin, could you do me a small favor..."

······

After packing their luggage, the group boarded a plane and arrived at the Dongting Lake Plain.

Generally speaking, the more famous a place is in a past life, the more dangerous it will be in this life. Places that were dangerous in a past life, like Antarctica and Bermuda, are definitely forbidden zones for humans in this life.

Before entering Jinlin City, the group prepared what they might need, including food, fresh water, and some medicine.

Although we have Bai Tingting, a soothing and comforting girl, being well-prepared will prevent any mistakes.

"Yellow Hair, what did you prepare?" Mo Fan asked. He knew that Xu Fang had a spatial ring and had wanted to put his luggage in it, but Xu Fang said that it was already full and couldn't hold any more.

"Good stuff, you'll see when the time comes," Xu Fang said with a smile. His Hidden Star was filled with good stuff.

“We just need to follow this track,” Song Xia said, holding the map.

The railway tracks were completely rusted, covered in brown stains, and stretched straight into the distant green fields and forests.

Railways are natural road signs.

If you follow the tracks, you'll eventually reach the city!

"Let's get this straight first. I've always been in command within the team. Since the academy requires us to cooperate to complete the mission, we need to establish a set of rules beforehand."

Lu Zhenghe stated bluntly, "I am a former soldier, and I will serve as the commander-in-chief. You can offer your opinions, but I will determine the overall direction!"

"I object!"

Chapter 149 Goblin Female Priestess and Warrior

"You object?" Lu Zhenghe looked at Xu Fang and said bluntly, "What makes you object? I have experience in the military, and my experience is far superior to that of a rookie like you from an academy!"

Of all the people in the group, he disliked Xu Fang the most.

In front of everyone, he beat himself and the Ghostly Wolf into rolling on the ground like gourds.

That's not all. A couple of days ago, when the university talent rankings were being released, some bastard filmed this ridiculous scene and uploaded it as evidence of Xu Fang's incredible talent!

This time, we finally got a chance to let him make a sarcastic remark.

"I have no problem with the military camp, I have a problem with you." Xu Fang had a contemptuous smile on his face that drove Lu Zhenghe crazy: "You were the one who commanded the team in that exchange match, weren't you?"

As soon as he mentioned it, everyone remembered it too.

At that time, Lu Zhenghe's performance was far from satisfactory. Whenever he saw his goddess fighting with her rival, he would forcefully step in and interfere.

Enraged after being mocked by Xu Fang, it forcibly ordered its contracted beast to charge, only to fall into the same pit three or four times in a row.

Is someone like that really suited to be a commander?

Seeing that even his teammates were wavering, Lu Zhenghe blurted out in a panic, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense! Without me, you won't even be able to detect danger!"

Before he came, he promised his older brother that he would lead the team to advance along the predetermined route. If he lost command, it would be a real problem!

People didn't like hearing that. Who the hell were they looking down on?

Who hasn't been to the wilderness? Who hasn't been through countless battles? You got beaten to a pulp and you still have this sense of superiority?

At the Imperial Capital Academy, Liao Mingxuan, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Zhenghe stealing the limelight, seized the opportunity to say, "Let me take command. I'm an intermediate hunter with many years of experience hunting demons."

“We can’t just listen to you. We’ll listen to Captain Song Xia,” Xu Fang said.

“Xu Fang, you…” Song Xia was a little flustered. She was quite capable, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to get into the exchange team.

But in terms of raw strength, Xu Fang, Mo Fan, and even Zheng Bingxiao are all stronger than her, so how dare she call herself the captain?

Liao Mingxuan didn't care. As long as he could suppress Lu Zhenghe's arrogance, he didn't mind discussing it with Mingzhu Academy.

The route has been decided, so let's follow this abandoned track.

The tracks on flat ground are fine; as long as no demons use the sleepers as pillows, they are generally unobstructed.

But after traveling a long distance, the terrain suddenly became more complex, with mountains and hills surrounding the railway, and even a section of tunnel through the mountains.

“The map shows that this tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of the demons we’ve encountered along the way, it’s highly likely that a large number of demons live inside,” Song Xia said to everyone. “I suggest we cross this mountain and avoid dealing with these unknown species of demons.”

"Hey, you're being way too cautious!"

Lu Zhenghe shouted, "Ever since this kid was stripped of his command position, he's been acting like a troublemaker: 'It's only two kilometers, who cares what's in there, let's just charge straight in!'"

Liao Mingxuan originally meant the same thing, but in order to show his professionalism and composure in front of the girl, he reached out and pressed his chest.

"Squeak!"

A silver-furred little mouse peeked out.

"It has a strong sense of danger, following it won't be a mistake... What are you doing?"

Liao Mingxuan was talking non-stop when he realized that no one was listening to him. They were all gathered around Xu Fang, watching him take out the two worker bees from the Hidden Star.

"Wow, what's this?" Zhao Manyan clicked his tongue. "It looks like the bamboo dragonfly we used to have when we were kids, and it even has a camera?"

The others also looked greatly shocked, especially when Xu Fang inputted magical energy and the worker bees took to the air.

The most shocked was Mo Fan, whose eyes widened like bull's eggs: "...A drone?"

No, no, no, this drone is powered by magic, so it seems to be a dupe from the magical world.

Once the track was set, one of the two worker bees headed towards the mountaintop, while the other flew into the tunnel. The images transmitted by the camera were faithfully fed back to the terminal in Xu Fang's hand.

His terminal was also specially treated so that it wouldn't attract demons like ordinary electronic devices.

The screen split in two, with the half on the mountaintop moving much faster. Some demons had clearly noticed the worker bees and launched ranged attacks.

As soon as the worker bee detected the demon's magical energy fluctuations, it triggered a magic array, causing the entire machine to suddenly rise hundreds of meters, and all attacks missed their mark.

"There are about a hundred of them, the vast majority of them are servants, and the few warriors aren't very strong either, otherwise my machine would have been shot down," Xu Fang said.

"What about the other side?" Mu Nujiao asked. "There doesn't seem to be any movement, and it's too dark to see clearly."

"Wait a minute," Xu Fang said.

"Hmph, playing tricks, it's nothing but..." Before Lu Zhenghe could finish speaking, the scene suddenly changed.

The worker bee shook slightly, as if it had dropped something, and then the scene suddenly brightened, as if a sun had appeared in the tunnel!

Flashbang!

A subspecies of bomb, it is said to have been improved by a blacksmith master in the ancient capital, who ingeniously changed the raw materials and incorporated light magic arrays.

Although the cost has increased, it is no less effective than the Radiant Blindness, and its damage to the undead is more than doubled. In the end, it is still a great profit.

When Xu Fang learned of this news, he could only say that the wisdom of the people is boundless—in fact, there are countless subspecies of bombs based on magic stones and magic circles.

Because the magical world skipped the steam age and the internal combustion engine age, the master blacksmiths unleashed a passion and creativity they hadn't seen in years when it came to something as simple and unheard of as bombs!

Most importantly, the government is willing to spend money; as long as the plan is feasible, funding will be approved instantly!

A flashbang was fired, and the scene became as bright as day, revealing everything that was hidden or lurking.

"What is this!?"

Everyone felt nauseous. They saw that the original tunnel walls were now covered with countless strangely shaped holes, like pimple scars on a human face. The sheer number of holes was enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone who saw them.

"This is the lair of the cave demon slaves!" Jingjing, a top student from the Imperial Capital Academy, recognized it at a glance.

"What!!!!"

A sound like a sheep's bleating came out, but it lacked the gentleness of a sheep's voice and was instead extremely sharp and piercing!

A short, ugly cave demon slave, with skin wrinkled like an old tree and resembling a goblin, leaped out, brandishing a bone club and angrily searching for the invading enemy.

Thanks to the sustained light from the flashbangs, everyone was able to see the appearance of the cave slaves.

"How disgusting." Bai Tingting, the priest and healer in the group, was the first to express her disgust.

The other girls nodded in unison, including Mu Ningxue. They instinctively felt uncomfortable with such a short and ugly creature.

The boys' reactions were more nuanced.

"Good heavens, those arms are so thick, how many years has he been single?" Mo Fan looked at the cave demon slave's muscular arms with surprise.

“Goblin… female priest… female warrior… hehehe.” Zhao Manyan’s smile was somewhat lewd.

"Holy crap, so many? Luckily I didn't go in." Xiao Feng from the Imperial Capital Academy was still shaken. In the original story, this unlucky guy had his knee crushed by the cave demon slave's bone club.

"This worker bee is scrapped, I don't know if they'll reimburse us." Xu Fang captured the entire video and sent it to Qin Li.

This is a ready-made user manual!

Chapter 150 Green Tea and Bathing

I can't forget the first time I saw you; those disgusting, lewd eyes.

Upon first seeing the cave demons, these distant goblin relatives, the girls resolutely opposed going through the tunnel.

Especially Bai Tingting, who originally had little ability to protect herself, and according to the description in the bedtime comic, the filthy goblins liked pure priests the most!

“The mountain road is quite long, and the cave demon slaves are just servant-level demons. What are we afraid of with so many of us?” Lu Zhenghe’s persuasion drew pairs of angry, beautiful eyes.

"If you want to go, go by yourself!"

"Exactly, exactly. You're not in charge, so why are you being so nosy?"

"The tunnel is so narrow, what if we get ambushed?"

"The ground was covered in feces, it was disgusting!"

Seeing that Lu Zhenghe had become the target of everyone's criticism, the men did not hesitate to abandon their stance and start criticizing him.

"Lu Zhenghe, what are your intentions?"

"I never imagined you were this kind of person..."

"Sigh, I'm just a passerby, but to be fair, you were definitely in the wrong this time."

Lu Zhenghe was trembling with anger.
