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

Chapter 110 Storm Restriction

"My God—isn't this a bit too much? I have a feeling that some big boss might jump out of there at any moment." Zhao Manyan exclaimed. "This lightning storm seems to be in the Ruins City." Nan Jue estimated the location. "My goodness, that's definitely an ominous place. I'm a little scared." Jiang Yu said.

"We're already here, how can we not go? What if there's some really good stuff? Then we'll take off!" Mo Fan said excitedly.

"Since we're already here! No one else seems to have been here before! There must be something good here!" Zhang Chen smelled a faint fragrance; there must be something good inside.

If it weren't for the high red wall blocking this place, other hunters would have already ventured here, and all the good stuff would have been taken.

The thought that few people had ever been here, making it a virgin territory with so much to explore, and the possibility of even soul seeds appearing, made everyone's hearts pound.

So, filled with excitement, everyone headed towards the somewhat unsettling circle of lightning storm!

The black storm has transformed into a colossal entity, seemingly right before my eyes.

After passing through a cluster of ruins, Zhang Chen discovered that apart from a pile of seemingly ancient stones, there was nothing else in this ruined city except for the astonishing black storm of lightning that was particularly eye-catching.

Yellowish dust swirled in the air, along with dry grass clippings and pebbles. You could feel the powerful airflow pulling them closer and closer to the lightning storm.

However, this force was only equivalent to a gale force of level eight, and it was nothing to Zhang Chen's body.

Zhang Chen could sense that something good was inside the lightning storm, and he was about to speak.

"It feels like there's nothing here, let's leave as soon as possible." Zu Jiming's cowardly voice came out. "I don't know what use is all that fat on you!" Jiang Shaoxu complained speechlessly. The group didn't get too close to the lightning storm and started searching the city of ruins. But apart from the magnificent black lightning storm, the entire city of ruins was empty.

There was nothing worth investigating; there were no ancient treasures, no elemental anomalies, and not even any demons guarding the place.

Demons are also quite pragmatic; if there's nothing in this area worth staying for, they'll inevitably be quite disappointed.

After searching for about half a day, the ruins were just a pile of broken stones. Apart from finding some inscriptions that interested her on some broken stone pillars, the others found nothing.

"What a waste of time! I told you not to come here!" Zu Jiming said. "Let's sit down and rest for a while. We'll check again tomorrow. If there's still nothing here, we'll probably have to head back."

"Nan Jue said. Just then, Zhang Chen and Mo Fan exchanged glances. Zhang Chen spoke first, "There seems to be something inside the storm? Did you see it?"

Everyone looked into the storm, but after searching for a while, they found nothing. Mo Fan excitedly exclaimed, "There is something! It's sparkling!"

At this point, everyone was even more puzzled, because they clearly hadn't seen anything! But the more this was the case, the more it piqued their curiosity.

"Why don't we go in and take a look? If we can't handle it, we can come back out!" Zhang Chen suggested. "Okay!" After thinking about it, everyone finally agreed.

It was just as the sun was about to set, and the orange glow of the setting sun dyed the clear, cloudless sky red, turning the western sky into a beautiful orange-red with a sense of depth.

Zhang Chen led the way into the storm, creating layers of spatial barriers for everyone.

Zhang Chen led his team further into the center of the lightning storm. Before long, the strong winds had reached a level that could tear even servant-level creatures apart. Each of these high-level mages needed a defensive spell to move forward normally in the lightning storm.

Zu Jiming's cowardly voice rang out again: "What's here? There's clearly nothing here! You two aren't conspiring to lie to us, are you!"

Mo Fan, without blushing or skipping a beat, said, "Why would we need to lie to you? Come if you want, go back if you're a coward, okay? Besides, I get annoyed just hearing your voice, can you please shut your bird mouth!"

"Hmph! I'm not going any further! I'm going back. Anyone want to come with me?" Zu Jiming said. "Going back by yourself and still needing someone to come with you? You're such a coward!" Jiang Shaoxu had never seen such a coward before. "I'm going back too!"

In the end, only Zu Jiming, Li Kaifeng, and Mu Tingying returned, while the others continued to follow Zhang Chen deeper into the area.

During their last trip to the Blue Mountain Forest, the seven of them hunted down demons. After selling all the demon materials, Nan Rongni only received less than one-tenth of the total, but it was still ten million and a plant seed, which was a considerable gain for her. This made her realize that following Zhang Chen and the others would bring her benefits, so she followed them again without hesitation this time.

When Guan Yu found out, he was a little envious, so he followed suit this time.

The wind was strong enough to shake a warrior-level creature.

The lightning flashed more and more frequently, striking right in front of everyone's eyes from time to time, sending chills down their spines.

"Should we continue?" Jiang Yu asked weakly, a little scared.

"Let's go! Don't be afraid, we can just retreat if things get too tough. We still have plenty of magical energy!" Zhang Chen patted his chest and said, "Okay—alright!"

The further in you go, the more frequent the lightning becomes. The deep yellow flashes of lightning ahead tear through the chaos of the wind, almost forming a warning net that oppresses anyone trying to approach.

"Hey—this lightning looks familiar?" Jiang Yu said, looking at the yellow lightning. "It's a restriction!" Nan Jue exclaimed. "These lightning bolts—they're not natural lightning, they're man-made restrictions??" Jiang Shaoxu said in surprise.

"Aren't you curious about what's inside the barrier?" Mo Fan's voice was like a devil's whisper, bewitching everyone. The appearance of a barrier set up by humans within the storm meant that someone wanted to lock away the secret at the center of this storm. But what secret could it be that needed to be hidden in a terrifying hurricane?

"This is a very ancient lightning-based restriction technique. Let's go, let's keep going!" Nan Jue seemed even more eager than Mo Fan, and actually took the lead.

"If you're going to leave, then stick close to me, okay? If you get blown away by the wind, no one can save your lives!" Zhao Manyan said.

Zhao Manyan was the only defensive mage in the team. Although Zhang Chen's spatial defense was also strong, it was no match for Zhao Manyan. His defensive techniques made him a strong and powerful tortoise shell, protecting everyone as they moved forward.

"Don't step out of my defensive range! The wind force is equivalent to a mid-level spell right now!" Zhao Manyan reminded everyone. Just in case, he added another layer of spatial barrier to everyone inside Zhao Manyan's defense.
