Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"Do you know how long it took me to control those five stars?"

Xu Fang held up two fingers.

Liu Ru's red lips parted slightly as she exclaimed admiringly, "Two days! That's amazing!"

"It's two months!"

Xu Fang tried to correct Liu Ru's arrogant and unaware thinking: "An ordinary mage is already very good if he can control five stars within half a year, and that's under the condition of high-intensity meditation and control!"

Even Mo Fan took a full three months!

And what about Liu Ru?

It hasn't even been half a month!

"It must be because your current body is particularly suited to dark magic, with your vampire bloodline combined with my blood..."

Before Xu Fang could finish speaking, he heard Liu Ru subconsciously swallow, her large, blinking eyes filled with an irrepressible longing.

"Hungry···"

Liu Ru's voice was a little hoarse.

"I just can't do anything with you." Xu Fang leaned back and tilted his head. "Come on."

Liu Ru couldn't wait to pounce on him, her red lips kissing his neck directly. The tingling sensation made Xu Fang's breathing become heavier.

When vampires are sucking blood, they like to do other things.

Xu Fang deeply agreed.

Just like now, Liu Ru is straddling his lap, her little hands unconsciously but not behaving properly. Can Xu Fang tolerate this humiliation?

Just as they were about to retaliate, they heard the door open, followed by Ai Tutu's piercing scream.

"What are you two doing!?"

Liu Ru was startled, blushed, and ran back to her room as if fleeing. Xu Fang touched his neck, still feeling unsatisfied.

Ai Tutu angrily said, "Pervert! What happened to being siblings? You're doing this on the sofa! Why don't you two go to the entryway... Don't leave! You're disgusting!"

After leaving the apartment, Xu Fang took out his phone and glanced at it.

Magic Technology is really impressive; even after not touching my phone for over ten days, it still has half the battery left.

There were several missed calls, including one from Mo Fan, which was made several days ago.

Judging by the timeline, it should have been about finding Yan Ji, but I was at a crucial stage in the process and my phone was off.

Chapter 223 Scorching Plains, Locusts Licking the Ground

Xu Fang called Mo Fan back, but no one answered; he must have already left.

Demons are extremely sensitive to electronic signals, and the places they inhabit are often deserted, making it impossible to deploy base stations there.

Apart from the military's dedicated phone lines, other phone lines cannot be reached.

Speaking of military telephones, Nan Jue, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, also called. The last time was only two hours ago.

A phone call was made.

"Xu Fang?" Nan Jue's mature and sophisticated voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Fang said, "I was cultivating just now."

"Dunhuang, the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, there's a mission that needs your help." Nan Jue stated his purpose straightforwardly.

How should resources be allocated?

"It belongs to you."

"OK, send me the coordinates, I'll be there now."

Even if Nan Jue didn't make the call, Xu Fang would still have to lead a team there himself. The treasures and rare items in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan are countless; anyone who doesn't want them is a fool.

After telling Liu Ru to draw the star trails herself, Xu Fang immediately booked the next available flight to Dunhuang.

Upon arriving in Dunhuang, the endless expanse of brown sand evoked a sense of insignificance, making the land beneath one's feet feel like a small boat swaying in brown waves.

"Xu Fang!" Nan Jue waved from not far away.

Long time no see. This girl is even more handsome than before. She's 1.8 meters tall, with long legs encased in leather pants, and a fiercely aggressive, cold face. She's enough to make any young man fall head over heels for her.

Nan Jue invited Xu Fang this time mainly because of his mirage.

Back when they were escorting the pink pufferfish, the observant Nan Jue had already noticed Xu Fang's relationship with those "demons".

"We originally planned to use a mind-based mage to cross the Sand River, but for some reason, an evil aura from the northwest has caused the Sand River to become turbulent, and even the Mind Ripple cannot calm it down."

Nan Jue said solemnly, "To cross the Sha Wang River, we must rely on your help."

Zhuoyuan was surrounded by the Dunhuang Demon Tiger clan. Trying to cross it from any other direction would be tantamount to going against the Demon Tigers and committing suicidal acts. Even a super-level mage wouldn't dare to do that.

The Sand River is the only option, but it is no safe place either; countless elemental demons can devour people, leaving not even bones behind.

—It can't even fly.

Whenever a creature flies overhead, a giant elemental dragon will rise from the ground and devour it as an appetizer!

Nan Jue tried various methods, almost sacrificing two comrades, before finally deciding to invite Xu Fang to join the team.

······

Riding on the local wind camels, the group arrived at the Anjie boundary marker, but the wind camels refused to go any further.

This thing is not even as good as the sled dogs in Northeast China. At least those are bold and daring. They would even bite a monarch. They wouldn't be cowardly and wouldn't be able to lift their legs.

"Proceed on foot, with earth-elemental mages scouting ahead," Nan Jue commanded.

The earth mage in the team stepped forward and used Earth Wave to sense the ground, preventing his teammates from stepping into the quicksand.

After traveling about five kilometers, a howling wind swept towards them, and several Sand Roar Tigers of the general level surrounded them.

"Ready to fight."

Those present were all elite military mages, and all possessed mid-level level three cultivation. With their combined efforts, even a powerful figure like Sha Xiaohu could not defeat them.

"Magic vine!"

Nan Jue used her secondary magic; her plant-based magic absorbed the plant seeds, and the cyan magic vines grew rapidly as if they were alive, firmly locking down a lone magic tiger.

"Sunset!"

Xu Fang unleashed a barrage of punches, blasting the Demon Tiger, known for its formidable defense, into a pile of mud, drawing astonished glances from the crowd.

move on.

Strangely, you can still encounter a few demons on the outskirts, but the deeper you go, the lower the density of demons becomes, and you might not even encounter a single one after walking a long distance.

This is the masterpiece of fire.

Exposed fragments of spirit seeds can be seen on the ground, and a simple shake of the waist can bring in millions of dollars in seconds, making it far more reliable than Pinduoduo.

However, all of them were military strategists, and they prioritized discipline and mission above all else, focusing solely on their journey.

Xu Fang had no such concerns and directly released the Azure Poison Locust he obtained from Lan Yi, which licked the ground like it was crossing a wheat field, making everyone envious.

"Wow, you can do that?"

Soon, the group arrived at the Shawang River area. The white sand river in front of them looked like a long, earth-colored dragon lying on Dunhuang, at least tens of kilometers away from the opposite bank.

"It's so wide; if we get surrounded in the middle, we won't be able to escape," the mental mage in the group advised. "Why don't we find a shortcut and reconsider our strategy..."

Nan Jue glanced at him indifferently, which immediately shut him up.

Xu Fang stood at the front of the crowd, took out a worker bee from the Hidden Star, and then took out a worthless Sand Roar Tiger heart.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~~~!!

The worker bee carried the heart of the Sand Tiger to the Sand River, where the calm white sand suddenly exploded into waves of mud and sand.

A giant sand dragon leaped out of the sand and swallowed the worker bee whole, heart and all.

The whole process took only a second, leaving everyone watching on the edge of their seats.

They could sense that this sand dragon was at least at the commander level, and killing them was as easy as killing chickens.

"A mirage!"

Xu Fang remained calm and quickly sketched out a star map of the water system.

In an instant, another sand dragon, almost identical except for a slightly different aura, appeared.

The sensitive elemental creatures immediately panicked. As far as the eye could see, countless white sand demon soldiers, each three meters long and wielding sand-transformed blades, were being led away by the giant dragon.

"Let's go." Xu Fang lifted his foot and walked away.

"Hurry up and follow." Nan Jue followed without hesitation, trusting Xu Fang's abilities—the others were different, their expressions were nothing short of tragic.

The journey of dozens of kilometers was nerve-wracking for everyone.

Several times, the white sand demon soldiers appeared right under their noses, and they couldn't help but use destructive magic to fight them, only to be lured away by the mirages.

Gradually, everyone's tense bodies relaxed.

"Brother, you're awesome!"

The spiritualist gave a thumbs-up, completely convinced: "I, Old Li, am convinced this time. You're the one!"

If you had to comfort yourself, you'd exhaust yourself and still not make it to the end.

Xu Fang only needed to casually unleash a water-based spell; his task was simply to conceal Xu Fang's magical fluctuations.

"What's going on? These elemental demons are reacting way too violently," Nan Jue whispered as she walked beside Xu Fang.

In the past, the purpose of these elemental demons was simply to protect their territory.

But just now, unable to find the intruder, they not only didn't disappear, but started killing each other!

"I don't know either," Xu Fang shook his head.

The real reason is probably that Qin Shi Huang's palace, [Sha Yuan], passed through the Sha Wang River, and the enormous evil energy belonging to the dead triggered the collective rampage of the White Sand Demon Soldiers.

Under the control of the Black Court's secret techniques, Sha Yuan will continue eastward and southward, heading straight for the ancient capital!
