Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 109 Peru

They completed the mission exceptionally well this time. Their instructors specifically communicated with the Sydney Magic Academy and arranged for them to train in the Sacred Wood Tower of the Sydney Magic Academy for a week. This Sacred Wood Tower is very similar to the Three-Step Tower of the Pearl Academy; both are places that can increase the speed of cultivation.

However, the Tower of Sacred Wood tests mental strength, which was very favorable to Zhang Chen. He climbed to the sixth floor in one go, and even reached the seventh floor on the last day.

In just one week, Zhang Chen finally recovered all the cultivation he had lost in the ancient capital, and it won't be long before the other five elements will be able to break through to the second level of the advanced stage, just like the plant element.

Zhang Chen and the others asked curiously why the valley was silent. When they returned, Miss Grace said, "That valley is filled with sound-absorbing stones by that iris flower. It can absorb sound, so naturally you can't hear anything no matter how you speak."

Her tone betrayed regret and disappointment, perhaps because they hadn't managed to capture the demon. However, they were still kind enough to bring back the plant demon corpses from the valley and return them to Zhang Chen and the others, along with some silence stones.

None of them were eliminated this time. Their next stop is Peru in South America, and the route there will be the same as before.

Hammi City is located in southern Peru. It is not a rainforest, but a desert and wasteland. You can often see orange rock formations stretching endlessly to the horizon, meeting the blue sky. Occasionally, you can also see towering mountains, standing alone on the land for several kilometers around. Their long shadows, under the sunlight, look like a black sword splitting the ground in two.

-

Hanmi City wasn't very big, roughly equivalent to a small city in China, but its population was much sparser. There were hardly any cars or pedestrians on the long road, perhaps because it wasn't rush hour.

In a stone inn in Hammi City, Mo Fan and his companions were enjoying refreshing local drinks in a tavern on the first floor. They were all very relaxed. After smuggling themselves into Peru, they had been traveling through the desert for half a month, so they naturally needed to rest. During this half month, Zhang Chen's mental and spatial abilities had broken through to the second level of the advanced stage.

Zhang Chen and Mu Nujiao had just come downstairs when they heard them excitedly discussing something. He went up to them and asked, "What's the good news? Why are you so happy?"

"I've been asking around in the city these past two days and I've heard that there's a Peruvian ruin about seventy kilometers outside of Hammi City. There's strong wind and unusual energy there, so there might be something good there," Mo Fan said with a smile. In fact, the Condensed Evil Pearl had already shown some reaction when the plane crashed in South America. Its light only became brighter after we arrived in Hammi City, and the direction it pointed was exactly towards the ruins. So, after Mo Fan inquired around in the city, he started encouraging everyone when he returned.

"Then what are we waiting for! When do we set off?" Zhang Chen was also intrigued by Mo Fan. "I think we should forget it. Who knows what dangerous and terrifying things are inside the ancient ruins city? There's no need to risk everything for the unknown." Zu Jiming said. "You're just a coward!" The others mocked mercilessly. "Anyway, we're progressing much faster than the other training teams. Since there might be treasures, we might as well go and take a look. It won't delay our challenge of the National Pavilion."

Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "Since most people want to go and take a look, I'll go buy the equipment. Is the location of Mo Fan's ruins in a windy area?"

"right!"

"Okay, then we need to buy a wind element detector and a lightning element detector. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Alright!" Everyone shouted in unison as they headed towards the ruins.

Before long, we arrived at a Gobi valley, the formation of which was quite spectacular.

The vast land is divided into two layers. To the west, it rises abruptly, revealing a continuous cliff parallel to the horizon. The cliff is like a magnificent city wall, blocking the originally flat terrain and seemingly dividing it into another world.

The high-altitude ground was scorching hot rock, intensely baked by the sun, with an astonishingly high temperature. Even high-level mages felt as if they were walking on flames, making it absolutely difficult to pass through.

-

The only place with a slightly normal temperature is that long canyon, where sunlight cannot reach and the temperature is much lower than that of the upper ground.

The ancient city of ruins is located on the other side of this entire raised high-altitude land, an ancient sacred land that is almost isolated from the world and protected by the scorching Longping Mountain. This kind of place, which has never been explored by anyone and is even difficult for demons to enter, is the most likely place to give birth to the treasures of heaven and earth!

Upon entering the Gobi Valley, the geology changed noticeably. It was no longer the dry, orange-yellow color, but instead showed some red, and the entire Gobi Valley turned a dark red!

Before they had taken more than a few steps, eerie sounds immediately came from both sides of the stone wall, and stone faces appeared on the wall, becoming more and more three-dimensional, until their entire heads detached from the stone wall.

Zhang Chen thought they were demons like those in the Sha Wang River, and that he could appease them. He unleashed his mental power, sweeping over the demons emerging from the stone walls, but found it had no effect whatsoever.

Immediately afterwards, a Mind-Based Star Chart Mind Ripple - Sleep was created. This was a variation of a mid-level Mind-Based spell enhanced by her own cultivation. Mu Nujiao commented that it was a very good sleep aid skill, and that it could effectively relieve mental fatigue after waking up.

The mental power swept over the half-emerged demons on the stone wall again. The demons very human-like covered their mouths with one hand and yawned, then all closed their eyes.

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, not expecting Zhang Chen to have such a high level of spiritual attainment.

"These are Forbidden Moon Stone Demons from the Stone Element, each one possessing the strength of a Lesser Warrior. They dislike moonlight," Jiang Yu, a demon enthusiast, immediately explained to everyone.

With Zhang Chen's hypnosis throughout, they successfully exited the canyon.

As the group traveled further and further, the terrain became flatter.

"If we walk another four kilometers, we should be able to see the ancient ruins. The elemental reactions here are getting stronger, especially the wind and lightning elements—" Nan Jue said to everyone, holding two instruments in her hands.

"Look ahead!" Zhao Manyan said, pointing ahead.

Looking into the distance, everyone was shocked to see a terrifying black and gray hurricane rising from the ground like a black dragon soaring into the clouds. The visual impact of it standing between heaven and earth made everyone gasp!

The hurricane's body resembled a dragon's, clearly visible even from a distance. Its thick, powerful midsection, and the gaping maw that opened wide upon touching the sky, made it inexplicably difficult to breathe.

Even more terrifying was that the entire black wind was accompanied by purple-gold lightning, and the electric chains were as thick as pythons, flashing at a high frequency, dazzling the eyes!

This astonishing sight stands tall in the wilderness of western Peru; one would never have discovered such a wonder had it been outside the Gobi Valley.
