Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 195 The Mist Demon

The others stared in astonishment at the two who were talking. It seemed that having power really did give them the right to do whatever they wanted. The Misty Islands were teeming with sea monsters, and for ordinary people to go in was simply suicide.

"Are you going?" Ai Jiangtu asked again to confirm.

"Hmm~" Wang Teng nodded in response.

"I'm going too!" Jiang Shaoxu immediately replied with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu hesitated slightly. With Wang Teng present, safety was actually guaranteed, but...

"Count me in!" Nan Jue said, looking at Ai Jiangtu.

Ai Jiangtu nodded. "In that case, then..."

"Hey~ wait a minute, hehe, I'll go too!" Zhao Manyan raised his hand to sign up, thinking that he had been a bit hasty before and should have waited for Wang Teng to express his opinion first.

Compared to Mo Fan's unreliability, after several collaborations, he deeply understood that Wang Teng was always dependable.

Ai Jiangtu narrowed his eyes. If Zhao Manyan were in the army, he would have given him a good beating for being such a fickle person.

"Alright~ Then the four of you will go to the Misty Islands to search, and the rest of you will come with me to challenge them."

"Nan Jue, keep in touch. We'll be waiting for you at the Manila National Embassy. No matter the outcome, you'll need to return to the team in two weeks at most."

"Understood!" Nan Jue replied.

After the personnel were assigned, everyone dispersed. Ai Jiangtu, who also had driving experience, was in charge of driving the boat. Compared to those complicated large ships, this small boat was relatively simple.

The route has already been set; all we need to do is proceed along the predetermined route.

In order to reach their destination before dark, Zhao Manyan naturally needed to use water magic from time to time to propel them forward.

As the four-person search team, Wang Teng, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, and Nan Jue sat at the same table.

Nan Jue unfolded the map, which had detailed markings, and looked around at the three of them before saying, "Next, I'll talk about the intelligence on the Misty Islands."

"The missing group was traveling from south to north, and their route was roughly like this."

"To enter the Misty Islands, you should enter from this area."

Nan Jue extended the end of the pencil and slid it along a general route to the Misty Islands region, finally circling a small area on the map.

"So it seems that if they're smart enough, they won't go any deeper. That means we'll probably need to explore about three islands on the outskirts."

Zhao Manyan looked at the surrounding area; there seemed to be only three islands nearby, and they hadn't ventured deep into the Misty Islands.

"That's right, this is the only place we can search. Besides being a paradise for sirens, the Misty Islands are also home to a special kind of demon—the Misty Demon!"

"These demons are very special. They have no physical form and are very similar in composition to elemental demons. They can only be discovered after they condense into a misty state."

"These demons don't have much offensive capability, but they can alter the environment, spread mist, and even cause mental interference."

"This is also the main reason why people often get lost in the Misty Islands."

"Therefore, as long as we are not too disturbed, the risk of searching the three outer islands is not too great."

"As for the central part of the Misty Islands, which is even deeper, there is no valuable information. Almost no one who goes in comes out alive."

After hearing Nan Jue's news, Jiang Shaoxu admired her best friend even more; her intelligence work was truly outstanding.

"Interesting~ I hope that team is still alive. In this Siren Paradise, the only way to survive is probably to go to the island."

"The key is a sense of direction. If they could come out, they would have come out long ago. If they didn't come out, they must be hiding in some corner."

"Moreover, the Mist Demons definitely won't let them go. As time goes on and the interference worsens, only heaven knows what will happen!"

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he smiled. Having been training with the team for a long time, he hadn't ventured into such a demonic territory alone for a long time, and he had almost forgotten the joy of adventure.

Seeing this foggy environment reminded him of the Sahara Desert in Africa, where the environment is similar, and even more complex and changeable.

Resources only exist in territories occupied by demons for a long time; if a place is chaotic, even if there are resources, they will be wasted.

"That's right!"

Nan Jue said with admiration, "I didn't expect Wang Teng's insight to still be so clear."

"Therefore, this search can only be conducted during the day, and each time we enter, we cannot stay for a long time and need to rest and recuperate outside."

"This is it~ This location is a small town called Porrodi, where many adventurers gather to hunt sirens."

"This town doesn't have any security measures like protective barriers, and there are a lot of demon attacks, but it's much better than camping in the wild."

Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction. With this clear intelligence, the danger of their operation could be greatly reduced.

If unexpected problems arise, then we'll see how well he can adapt to the situation.

Ensuring the safety of the three people is not a problem; the dangers on the outside are nothing to him.

After the analysis, the route and specific search method were agreed upon. It would be good if the task could be completed, but it wouldn't matter if it couldn't.

After listening, Zhao Manyan left, preparing to speed up the ship, otherwise it would be impossible for them to arrive before dark.

With his magical acceleration, the ship began to move at top speed, feeling like a sports car on the sea.

The rest of the people were on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the seamless blend of the sea and sky.

Time flew by, and with Zhao Manyan and Nan Jue taking turns speeding up, the ship maintained a high speed and, following the predetermined route, finally arrived in Manila, the city that never sleeps, after dark.

As a city naturally close to the inner harbor, it is an excellent stopover point, attracting ships from all over the world.

As a commercially open port, they did not encounter any inspections; they simply paid the mooring fee and obtained the right to stay.

This time, Zhao Manyan took the initiative to find a hotel for everyone. It was a property of the Zhao family, and as the second young master of the Zhao family, he had a lot of authority.

Ai Jiangtu did not refuse Zhao Manyan's arrangement. Who would want to stay in a small hotel when they could stay in a nice place? As for violating the rules...

That's nonsense. After several missions, he learned to be flexible and adaptable. He just hadn't figured out the routine at first.

As the host, Zhao Manyan is quite adept at using his advantages to rebuild people's perception of him.

After the banquet, everyone went to the hotel's KTV presidential suite under his arrangement and experienced what it meant to live the luxurious life of the Zhao family's young master.

Vibrating music started playing, and a row of beautiful women were singing and dancing energetically, while various snacks, fruit platters, and cocktails were laid out in abundance.

"You're truly something! No wonder you're the young master of the Zhao family!"

"This is too much trouble for you..."

"Haha... You're too kind. I hope everyone had fun!"

Zhao Manyan was very happy. Having money was an advantage, and he experienced the feeling of being triumphant. For a long time, many people in the team had ignored him.
