Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 89 Commander-level Sub-Dragon, Fly Directly Over!

Zhang Xiaohou would use wind and ground waves in a flash, and every time Sha Xiaohu was about to attack him, he would just dodge from the side, easily kiting Sha Xiaohu.

"Roar! Ro ...

Sha Xiaohu roared twice as Zhang Xiaohou tormented him, and blood sweat began to pour from his body. This was a sign of Sha Xiaohu's rage. At this moment, his speed increased, and he quickly caught up with Zhang Xiaohou.

Just as the Sand Roaring Tiger was about to encounter Zhang Xiaohou, its right hind leg sank into quicksand. Then, with a collapse sound, the Sand Roaring Tiger fell directly into a giant pit.

"Tsk tsk, this guy's got some skills."

Zhao Manyan commented with a smile, "To be able to outmaneuver Sha Xiaohu so well, this level of skill is already considered top-tier among mid-level mages."

A mage's strength cannot be judged solely by their cultivation level; practical experience and skills are also crucial. Generally speaking, military mages are stronger than hunter mages, and hunter mages are stronger than ordinary mages.

"Ray Seal - Electric Grid!!"

After Sha Xiaohu fell into the trap, Li Xingze immediately released a level 5 lightning seal. With the same magic energy consumption, the level 5 lightning seal was much stronger than the level 3 lightning seal.

The terrifying electric grid sealed off the cave entrance, with dense arcs of electricity transmitting extremely strong current. Sha Xiaohu tried to rush out of the cave several times, but was repelled by the current.

Li Xingze arrived at the cave entrance, holding the weapon "Arrogance" in one hand. The compressed lightning shot directly from the blade towards the Sand Howling Tiger below, instantly piercing its head.

One fatal blow!

After reaching a high level in the lightning element, Li Xingze found it much easier to use compression magic, allowing him to develop a wider variety of skills.

"So strong!"

Chen Ying, a top student from the Imperial Capital Academy, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Such strength was extremely rare even in their Imperial Capital Academy.

"Ze-ge is awesome!"

Zhang Xiaohou also sighed in admiration. In the military, he had never seen a peer as capable as Li Xingze.

In particular, his control over lightning is something that even many high-level mages cannot achieve.

"This is all thanks to the trap you set. I didn't expect you to be doing so well in the military, Monkey." Li Xingze patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder and said with a smile.

With Zhang Xiaohou's current strength, he should be slightly stronger than Xu Zhaoting, but we'll only know who is stronger after the match.

"Hehe~" Zhang Xiaohou chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because Li Xingze dealt with Sha Xiaohu too quickly, they did not encounter the hunter mage team that was chasing Sha Xiaohu.

With Zhang Xiaohou, an experienced guide, there were no dangers along the way, and the group gradually arrived at the area where the Sand River was located.

This long, sandy river is teeming with a terrifying creature: the White Sand Demon Soldiers. Individually, they are not particularly strong, but their numbers are enormous, making them a formidable threat to any small group.

Standing on the rising Gobi Desert, one can see a barren land sinking down into the distance.

Although it is called a river, it looks more like a sea to most people. It slowly sinks down the continental shelf and is filled with fine white silt of varying thickness. From a distance, it looks more like a white ocean that is undulating.

"Isn't it said that there are white sand demon soldiers in this Sand River? How come I haven't seen a single one?"

Looking at the unusually calm Sha Wang River, Zhang Xiaohou asked with great confusion.

Apart from the hazy sandstorm blown by the wind, there was nothing raised or moving on the sand surface.

Li Xingze took out Sha Xiaohu's internal organs from his spatial ring, then threw them high into the air, where they finally fell into the mud and sand of the Sha Wang River.

Suddenly, waves of mud and sand erupted from that calm expanse of white mud and sand.

Amidst the sandstorm, one after another, three-meter-tall semi-giant creatures wielding sand-transformed longswords stood up, neatly surrounding the bloody entrails.

After observing them warily for a while, they quickly turned into fine white sand and scattered into the Sand River.

"It's getting late, let's get some rest for the night," Lingling said very calmly.

The wilderness is more dangerous at night, so it's safer to stay here and camp for the night.

The three girls were already resting in their tents, while the five men chatted around the campfire.

"Brother Fan, Brother Ze, Xu Zhaoting, I never expected that we would get together in this kind of situation."

Having not seen each other for more than two years, Zhang Xiaohou was filled with emotion. As fellow mages from Bocheng, they naturally shared some feelings for each other.

"Don't act like a girl. We should be happy to be together. Also, you didn't bully He Yu at the military headquarters, did you?"

Li Xingze looked at Zhang Xiaohou with a teasing expression. Only two people from Bocheng went to the military headquarters: Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu.

It would be abnormal if there weren't some sparks flying.

Upon hearing his good friend's gossip, Mo Fan immediately perked up his ears.

"No, no~" Zhang Xiaohou denied repeatedly.

Zhang Xiaohou became somewhat flustered at the mention of He Yu, which suggested something was amiss.

Mo Fan suddenly slapped Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder, leaned over with a lewd look, and said, "Monkey, if you should make your move, do it now, don't let someone else beat you to it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohou simply responded with a simple smile.

"Ahem, there's no mind mage in our team. Have we thought about how we're going to cross the Sand River tomorrow?" Zhao Manyan suddenly asked.

Even if Li Xingze is a high-level mage, it would be difficult to protect so many white sand demon soldiers!

Mo Fan frowned immediately. He hadn't cared much at first, but after seeing the white sand demon soldiers, he changed his mind.

If we force our way through, we'll likely end up with nothing but bones.

"Don't worry, I have a plan. You guys go to sleep first, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night."

Li Xingze leaned against the Golden Flame Dragon Lion and glanced at the dark Sand River by the light of the campfire.

Since the leader had said so, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan naturally went to sleep obediently.

Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Xiaohou stayed behind, and the three of them played cards to relieve their fatigue.

The next day.

As soon as Li Xingze came out of the tent, he saw that Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan looked like they hadn't slept well.

"Ze-ge, you sleep really well. Even with all that noise yesterday, it didn't wake you up."

As soon as Zhao Manyan saw Li Xingze come out, he couldn't help but complain.

Mo Fan nodded repeatedly. Yesterday, a team of hunter mages was brutally killed by the White Sand Demon Soldiers, and the scene had a significant impact on their minds.

Li Xingze slept so well because the Golden Flame Dragon Lion could sense danger in advance and warn him that what happened yesterday was not dangerous.

"By the way, Brother Ze, didn't you say yesterday that you had a way to cross the river?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Fly straight there."

"Fly over?"

"How could it have flown there?"

Zhang Xiaohou and Chen Ying looked at Li Xingze with great curiosity.

"Contract Summoning!"

Li Xingze didn't explain much and directly summoned the Abyss Dragon. When the huge dragon body appeared in the sky, it startled Zhang Xiaohou and Chen Ying. What was even more terrifying was that it actually landed.

Although Mo Fan already knew that the dragon was Li Xingze's contracted beast, he still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw it again. Good heavens, it had grown so much bigger.

Did this growth result from taking hormones?

"Is this Xiao Hei? How come it's grown so fast?"

Lingling looked surprised; two years ago, it was less than a meter tall.

"Brother Ze, you really know how to do things. I was wondering why I didn't bring a spiritual mage. Turns out you were prepared all along!" Zhao Manyan said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
