Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 179 Azure Night

"Now that the newcomers have arrived, we should also set off for our next destination," Ai Jiangtu suggested after seeing that Dongfang Lie had finished greeting them.

Everyone stood up, their faces full of determination. After all, the words of their mentor, Feng Li, were still echoing in their ears, so who would dare not work hard?

To reach the border areas of island nations, one still needs to take a bus; otherwise, walking alone is not feasible.

In just a short while, Zhao Manyan used his money to get a car. It has to be said that money is useful no matter where you are.

Sitting in the car, Dongfang Lie was very curious about the trip to the National Government and had high expectations for it. He was full of energy.

But a quick glance revealed that many people on the bus were either sleeping, putting on makeup, or eating snacks.

This scene greatly disappointed him. How could the National Team training be like this?

Jiang Shaoxu leaned against Wang Teng's lap to catch up on sleep. She was exhausted from last night and had gotten up early today to welcome the new member.

It wasn't until nightfall that the group arrived at a small seaside town.

"These islanders are such a hassle, even guesthouses require ID cards," Guan Yu complained as she and Jiang Yu slowly walked out of town.

"We might need to move to another location, otherwise it will be troublesome if those people call the police." Jiang Yu also shook his head.

The two returned to the bus outside the town and reported the situation to Ai Jiangtu.

"Looks like we'll have to camp out in the wild." Jiang Shaoxu stretched, she had slept very comfortably.

"Not only that, there's another issue: how are we going to get the ship tomorrow? Given the current situation, there's a high probability that no one will dare to take us," Jiang Yu said.

"Why buy a ship? There are no ships in a place like this, only fishing boats." Guan Yu chimed in, and he even went to the beach to take a look.

"Old Zhao, just buy a speedboat nearby. There are about ten of us, we can squeeze over there. It's not far anyway."

"Don't you want to try speeding across the sea?" Wang Teng said with a smile, giving them a bad idea. With a speedboat propelled by water magic, the speed would be absolutely amazing.

"I don't want to die so soon~" Zhao Manyan hesitated and rejected Wang Teng's idea. Once the ship hit the reef, everyone on board would perish at sea.

"I'm going to the exchange tomorrow. You grown men are really something!" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, she might have to swim across.

"Then we'll make do in the car tonight and borrow a boat tomorrow." Ai Jiangtu wasn't picky about accommodations at all; he could adapt to anywhere.

As the driver, Zhao Manyan naturally complied with the request and drove the car to a secluded corner, a little away from the town.

"We need to keep watch tonight. We'll need about four groups, each for two hours. Raise your hand if you'd like to volunteer for the night watch," Ai Jiangtu asked, raising his hand.

Soon, Li Kaifeng, Guan Yu, and Zu Jiming all raised their hands. As the invisible members of the team, they finally took the initiative to stand up.

After discussing the night watch order with the three of them, Ai Jiangtu closed his eyes to rest, as they were exhausted after running around for half a day.

late at night.

Li Kaifeng sat in the driver's seat, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He had just switched shifts with Ai Jiangtu.

At that moment, a blue light appeared in his field of vision, immediately catching his attention.

In the distance, on the dark sea, a blue halo gradually expanded, as if a lamp was illuminating the night.

"Holy crap~ What is this?"

As the blue halo grew larger, Li Kaifeng stared in astonishment into the distance; such a sight was unheard of on land.

Ai Jiangtu had just fallen asleep and hadn't yet drifted into a deep sleep when he was startled awake by Li Kaifeng's exclamation. He quickly got up and went to the front.

"Everyone, wake up!" Ai Jiangtu shouted immediately.

Wang Teng was sleeping soundly in his seat, holding the sleeping Jiang Huli in his arms and covering him with his coat. He was sleeping comfortably when Ai Jiangtu woke him up.

Jiang Shaoxu suddenly opened her eyes, quickly got off Wang Teng, and the two walked forward together, where they saw the entire sea being rapidly dyed blue.

The rolling waves, like blue sprites splashing about, exude a serene and ethereal quality.

"So beautiful~" Jiang Shaoxu murmured. The blue sea under the night sky was simply too magnificent and beautiful.

"At first, there was just a glimmer of blue light in a certain place, and then it slowly spread and became like this." Li Kaifeng described the process he had witnessed.

"Could this anomaly be caused by a water-based spirit seed?"

Wang Teng gazed at the sea with a deep, melancholic look. Many strange phenomena in this world have their reasons, and are not simply natural weather phenomena.

"Damn, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and set off to search for treasure!" Zhao Manyan shuddered, unable to contain himself at the thought of the water-type spirit seed.

This thing is incredibly rare! Even he hasn't fused with a water-type spirit seed yet.

"Let's go, let's go..."

The group of people perked up and hurriedly left the vehicle, running towards the seaside.

"Zhao Manyan, only you and Nan Jue in the team can go into the water. You two should go down and check on them quickly," Jiang Shaoxu said.

Nan Jue rolled her eyes at her. Why would she let her and Zhao Manyan go fishing in the water so late at night?

"Well, I guess I'll just go by myself. But you'll need someone to meet me." Zhao Manyan mustered his courage; he was determined to take a gamble for the sake of the spirit seed.

"Go ahead, I'll come to meet you. Just get to the surface," Wang Teng said immediately, also wanting to see if it was a spirit seed.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Zhao Manyan was filled with confidence after hearing Wang Teng's assurance and immediately plunged into the sea.

He moved like a fish, rushing at an extremely fast speed toward the source of the blue light.

"I'll go take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a constellation flashed across Wang Teng's body, and his figure disappeared.

One kilometer away on the sea, Wang Teng stood in the void, with a spatial platform beneath his feet.

"They really do look somewhat alike!"

His gaze focused, fixed on the depths of the water, where a striking blue light swayed and danced with the current.

Before long, he sensed Zhao Manyan's magical energy fluctuations and rushed over there.

"Hmm? The siren's been attracted here too?"

Wang Teng's eyes flashed. His perception was still excellent. In the distance, there was already a surge of demonic energy. Even though this was the Anjie District, sea monsters could roam around everywhere, so it wouldn't be surprising if a group of them ran in.

Zhao Manyan plunged into a torrent of water, the center of which was incredibly dazzling. Suppressing his excitement, he struggled to get closer.

At the very core, a spirit seed shimmering with blue light floats there, and the closer one gets, the more abundant the water-based magical energy becomes.

"It's out!"

Zhao Manyan was excited and rushed over, took out a spirit seed container, and carefully put it inside.

As he took it, the blue sea also rapidly lost its luster.

But at that moment, dozens of sea monsters rushed over!
