Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 27 Ghost-Faced Mother Insect? Was that old man doing this on purpose?

"Clang! Clang!!"

Holding "Jealousy" in his left hand, Li Xingze swiftly severed one of the giant worm's forelimbs with a horizontal slash, while golden lightning surged directly at the cut in his right hand.

"Crunch, crunch!!"

Golden lightning transformed into an electric eel and suddenly burrowed into the bloody wound. The tingling and stinging sensation noticeably slowed down the giant worm's reaction speed.

The Golden Flame Dragon Lion still restrained the more than four-meter-long bony tail behind it, the hardness of which was in no way inferior to those high-grade demon-slaying tools.

If you were to sell it, it might be worth a lot of money.

Although Li Xingze cut off many of the giant worm's legs, the giant worm was a multi-legged creature, and it had no shortage of legs.

However, he had exhausted most of his strength, and even when facing the injured giant worm, he was still in a passive position.

Although his lightning element is powerful, it is only at the first level of the initial stage, and his magical energy is not sufficient to release lightning seals four or five times.

Clearing out those small monsters had already consumed most of my magic energy, and now that I've used the Lightning Seal again, my lightning magic energy is completely depleted.

Li Xingze no longer dared to use the Instantaneous Movement Technique to deal with the giant insect's attacks, as it consumed too much of his stamina.

If he overexerts his physical strength, then he'll be a lamb to the slaughter.

Therefore, Li Xingze could only use the wind track to barely deal with this giant monster.

"bump!!"

Suddenly, a huge clod of earth fell from above and landed heavily beside Li Xingze.

The sound immediately woke Li Xingze.

"Oh no! This cave is about to collapse completely!"

The soil, already highly unstable due to the heat of the Golden Flame Dragon Lion's flames, was further shaken by the repeated battles with the strange insects.

Under this tremor, the dried soil, lacking cohesiveness, naturally collapsed.

Just as Li Xingze was about to use the teleportation scroll, a small, dark object fell from the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed his contracted beast—the Abyss Dragon!

Although the Abyss Dragon is only the size of a small dog, it is a genuine dragon of true lineage.

Seeing the abyss dragon fly down, Li Xingze immediately put away the teleportation scroll.

With the Abyss Dragon joining the fray, he didn't believe he couldn't kill a mere insect.

"Xiao Jin, restrict its movements and let Xiao Hei take the lead in the attack," Li Xingze shouted.

Although Xiao Hei is only at the Warrior level, the power of its dragon flames far surpasses that of ordinary Warrior-level demons.

Upon hearing its master's command, the Golden Flame Dragon Lion immediately distanced itself from the giant monster insect; if it were to be touched by Little Black's flames, it would be in serious trouble.

The moment the Abyss Dragon appeared, the enormous worm, which was clearly of the level of a Great General, felt an unprecedented fear and dread.

This is a fear that comes from the depths of one's soul and from the roots of one's bloodline; any monster associated with dragons is exceptionally powerful.

What's more, standing in front of it is a genuine dragon!

Driven by biological instinct, the giant worm wanted to burrow through the hole and leave, but the Golden Flame Dragon Lion blocked its way.

Moreover, in that moment of distraction, Li Xingze easily severed four more thighs.

With so many legs missing, the giant worm's speed dropped significantly.

"Roar! Ro ...

A childlike yet infinitely majestic dragon roar erupted in the underground cave, followed by black dragon flames powerful enough to incinerate everything.

This is the symbol of the dragon race—dragon's breath!

It is a skill that only a dragon can master, and the dragon breath of a true dragon is a skill that even a forbidden spell cannot match.

Although the Abyss Dragon is still a long way from being at the Emperor level, its dragon flames are still filled with a terrifying aura, as if they can devour everything.

Under the burning of the dragon flames, the strange insect was burned to ashes, leaving only its hard, bony tail.

"It's a pity that the essence wasn't revealed, but this thing should be worth a lot of money."

Li Xingze wasn't too disappointed. Spirit essence was something that depended on luck; how could it possibly be obtained every day?

With this bony tail, his trip wasn't in vain.

As for that commission fee? It's really not worth hiring a mage to kill a powerful general.

Normally, the commission for defeating a powerful demon general should be in the millions, or even tens of millions.

"Forget it, what can I do? I'm a model citizen." Li Xingze shook his head. If he really made the farm owner pay the commission, he was afraid he would go bankrupt.

After the Golden Flame Dragon Lion regained some strength, Li Xingze sat on it with Little Black in his arms, then pushed off the wall a few times to climb up.

It's a pity that Xiao Hei is still too young, only an infant. If he were to reach early childhood, he should be able to be supported by someone.

True Dragon Knight!

So classy!

"What's going on down there? It's taken so long."

Seeing Li Xingze come up, Lingling curiously came over.

Since Li Xingze went down, the commotion below has been getting bigger and bigger, and now even half of the farmland has collapsed.

"There's a nest down here, and a queen insect of a great general." Li Xingze didn't hide anything.

"A great general? A nest?" Lingling stared blankly at Li Xingze, saying incredulously, "So you took care of it all by yourself?"

Even a mid-level hunter team would find it difficult to deal with a demon's lair underground.

Even if Li Xingze's summoned beast is incredibly powerful, how does he manage to protect himself?

Isn't the Summoner's own weakness itself?

Once the summoner is defeated, the summoned beast will naturally return to its original plane.

Although Li Xingze was panting heavily, he didn't have any injuries; at most, he was just covered in dust and ashes.

So unreasonable!

"I was lucky. The mother insect of this great battle was seriously injured. Those strange insects attacked the livestock to help it recover. I guess I got lucky."

Li Xingze wasn't arrogant at all. If it were the giant monster in its prime, it might have actually gotten away.

The biggest gain from this battle wasn't the bony tail, but the experience gained from fighting the swarm of monster insects.

The next time Li Xingze encounters a group battle, he will be even more adept at it.

Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Old Man Bao carefully examined the bony tail, then slowly said, "This is the Ghost-Faced Mother Worm, a rare demon that can only be encountered in the deep mountains. I didn't expect you to actually run into this thing."

Looking at the unperturbed old man Bao, Li Xingze's lips twitched slightly. Was this old man Bao doing it on purpose?

"To be able to return unscathed from the siege of the Ghost-Faced Insects, you're quite a good fit for our Azure Sky Hunting Grounds."

Old Bao looked at Li Xingze with his cloudy old eyes and revealed a strange smile.

"Hmph!" Lingling, unusually, didn't come out to refute; she was just a bystander in this mission.

However, Li Xingze's strength is indeed quite good, and he can barely be her teammate.

Li Xingze smiled calmly, having a little girl as a teammate is pretty good.
