Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

Xu Fang dodged and appeared precisely at the edge of the palm.

"Ow!!!"

The black-armored monitor lizard was enraged when it saw its sure-fire attack dodged, and it swung its arms and attacked again and again.

But Xu Fang is like an annoying fly, always able to sense the attack before it lands, and every time he's just a tiny bit short of what annoys the demon!

Splash!

boom! boom! boom!

Its massive body emerged from the artificial lake and strode off to chase after Xu Fang.

Its movements weren't particularly swift, but it was enormous enough that even a single step it took was comparable to a wind spell cast by a wind mage.

These damned humans are indeed physically exhausted, and several times they have had to rely on magic to escape their predicaments.

A cruel glint flashed in the eyes of the black-armored monitor lizard; it had already figured out how to torture Xu Fang.

The best course of action would be to impale him on a rock spike and then forcefully plunge him into the poisonous swamp waters to drown him!

With this in mind, the black-armored giant lizard increased its pursuit speed, and gradually, it left its territory, and dilapidated high-rise buildings came into view.

But the black monitor lizard kept moving.

So what if it's a city? To it, it's nothing more than its backyard, where it can come and go as it pleases.

The servants and warriors who used to roam the city trembled with fear, terrified of being targeted by this being at the top of the food chain in Jinlin Wasteland.

Xu Fang seemed to be exhausted and actually stopped running.

"The Dharma Form that Drives Away the Night from the Day!"

"Roar!!!!"

The giant claws of the black-armored lizard struck the suddenly appearing, towering golden giant without leaving a single mark, instead emitting a mournful cry.

The sharp, giant claws were actually snapped off at the root!

"You've been so awesome all along, it's time for you to do some work," Xu Fang said with a smile.

next second.

boom!

With a standard uppercut, the golden dharma image knocked the giant lizard to the ground, smashing a large number of nearby buildings in the process.

The black-armored giant lizard quickly stood up again, but when it pounced again, it was grabbed by the throat by the Dharma Image, who punched it left and right, and then casually threw it onto a building a hundred meters away.

"Ow!!!"

The black-armored giant lizard lay prone on the ground, then suddenly turned around, its massive tail lashing out at the Dharma image with tremendous force, like a whip.

Xu Fang felt a tremendous impact coming from the left.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, he used the force to smash through three buildings, then leaped up and slammed the giant lizard to the ground with an elbow strike.

"Kam ma kang ma kang ma!!!"

Xu Fang, carrying the giant black lizard in one hand, ignored the lizard's struggles and started running with long strides.

Sparks and lightning streaked along the way, leaving nothing but ruins in its wake, whether it be streets or houses.

In the distance, Zhan Kong and Zhang Xiaohou, who had also attracted the commander-level demons, were both stunned.

What kind of monk is this?

The statue, which looked so majestic and solemn, had the air of a street brawl under Xu Fang's manipulation.

—While it certainly looks really satisfying to watch the punches and kicks land...

"Ouch!!!!"

"You son of a bitch!" Xu Fang grabbed several large shipping containers from the side and slammed them repeatedly onto the head of the giant lizard like bricks.

If this scene were filmed and uploaded online, the headline would probably be something like, "Sorry, your package is fighting a commander-level demon."

After being repeatedly beaten, the black-armored monitor lizard's rage finally subsided, and fear took over.

It suddenly realized that leading it from the artificial lake to this place was probably a conspiracy by this human from the very beginning!

"You've realized it now?" Xu Fang smiled kindly. "Trying to run? Not so easy—Gather Energy!"

Rings of luminous energy gathered within the golden Dharma body, and the elements in the air rapidly became disordered.

The monitor lizard didn't launch a sneak attack; it was so terrified that it had no intention of doing so and turned around to run back for its life.

At its speed, it covered several kilometers in an instant.

However···

"The light of dawn!"

Whoosh—!

That single, powerful shot pierced through the streets and buildings, accurately obliterating the giant lizard and everything around it!

The black monitor lizard's body disappeared, replaced by a scene of devastation.

An area spanning dozens of kilometers, nearly the size of a county town, has been reduced to ruins!

Chapter 366 Searching for the Core of the Earth

A week later.

Jinlin Wasteland City — no, it should now be called Jinlin Ruins. Xu Fang and his two companions sat on a large cement slab, slurping instant noodles from bowls.

“The city has already been demolished; the rest can be handed over to a professional construction team,” Zhan Kong said.

"Leave this to me," Xu Fang said.

Liu Ru owns a construction company with a wide range of businesses, from building houses to clearing land in the wild.

"The house is a minor issue."

Zhan Kong picked up a noodle and took a bite: "The problem is the Earth Core. Without this thing, the Magic Association's livability certificate won't be approved anytime soon."

"Didn't we submit a report?" Xu Fang asked.

“Yes, but the higher-ups didn’t agree,” Zhan Kong said.

"Who said I didn't agree?"

"Damn it, the report clearly states that there are no extra Earth Cores available right now. If you want some, go find them yourself!"

"correct."

Xu Fang, under Zhan Kong's gaze towards Da Congming, took out a document from Cangxing.

"The Tarim Basin, the Taklamakan Desert?" Zhan Kong frowned. "This is no pleasant place."

The Tarim Basin is located in Xinjiang, between the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Altun Mountains. It is a vast basin with the famous Taklamakan Desert at its very center!

This is an extremely vast, uninhabited land, inhabited by countless demon races!

"I had heard of the Taklamakan Desert when I was in the Qinling Mountains. It is said that anyone who goes there and comes back alive will be hired by a hunter team with a high salary, which is equivalent to getting a high-paying job."

Zhang Xiaohou also said.

While the Taklamakan Desert may not be as infamous as the Sahara Desert, it is still enough to make 99% of adventurers tremble at the mere mention of it!

“I have accurate intelligence that there is a huge energy source somewhere in the desert.”

Xu Fang said, "Even if it's not the core of the earth, such powerful energy is enough to power a large-scale protective array."

"Holy crap, Fang-ge, where did you get this accurate information from... Oh, never mind." Zhang Xiaohou shut up.

He almost forgot that Xu Fang was that person's son-in-law!

If a son-in-law is in trouble, it's only natural for the father-in-law to offer some information or help, even if he doesn't personally lend a hand.

"Then go!"

Zhan Kong also became interested.

No matter how fearsome it is, there will always be people who dare to challenge it. Compared to a priceless treasure like the Core of the Earth, life and death are nothing!

“Treasure hunting is a private job, so we can’t go through the Western Military Region. What I mean is to go with an experienced team of hunters,” Xu Fang said.

Having the strength to reclaim the Taklamakan Desert is far from enough.

Logistics, scouting, route planning, exploration... these require a skilled hunting team to meet these requirements!

"I've already found the team. It's the Gold War Hunter Team, led by the team leader Ge Ming. He's a master hunter and also a super-level mage."

Xu Fang explained the situation of the Golden War Hunters to the two of them.

This Gold War Hunter Team is quite famous in China, and this is the first team to dare to publicly announce their exploration of the Taklamakan Desert.

“I’ve heard of this name. When Brother Fan was investigating the Black Court on Chongming Island, this was the hunter group he was in charge of rounding up,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"This is indeed a good team. Looking at the country, there are very few teams that dare to attack Black Court. This time they are going to explore unknown and dangerous lands. They are really walking on the teeth of demons."

Zhan Kong praised.

Xu Fang pointed to the map: "Look, the Taklamakan Desert is a blood-red zone, and these spots are purple."

High-level mages can still venture into the Crimson Zone.

However, if it's a purple zone, without a super-level mage leading the team, there's absolutely no chance of survival!

Once the plan was finalized, Xu Fang contacted Ge Ming, the leader of the Jin Zhan Hunter Regiment. Upon hearing that three Kuomintang secret agents wanted to join, Ge Ming readily agreed without hesitation.

This is the Military Intelligence Bureau!

With such talented individuals joining the team, their mission is much more secure!

The military's ranking system is more rigorous, and the assessment is more difficult.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Hunter Master are considered to be of equal status in society, the Military Intelligence Bureau, which commands a large army of mages, will inevitably crush the Hunter Master.

Whether it's strength, experience, record, command...

A high-level mage may not necessarily become a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau must be a high-level mage with outstanding abilities in all aspects!

"May I ask how many military mages you have under your command...? Oh, if it's inconvenient, I don't have to ask."
