Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 197 Rescue Workers

Zhao Manyan felt a chill and quickly ran to the gate, only to find that it was not closed but just ajar. He quickly slipped inside.

"You bunch of disloyal bastards, and you too, you told me to unleash the wave, but you didn't even call me when you ran away."

Looking at Wang Teng's grinning face, he felt a surge of anger.

Wang Teng looked at Zhao Manyan as if he were an idiot. This guy actually cast a mid-level level 3 spell, which was only used by a warrior-level sea monster that was fleeing in a sorry state.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling a little embarrassed. She hid behind Wang Teng, her delicate body trembling as if she was struggling to hold back her laughter.

"Pfft~" Nan Jue covered her mouth, squinting at Zhao Manyan, who had just attacked several small buildings.

"Cough cough~ Okay, okay~"

"It seems this place is more dangerous than we imagined. The people here don't hold back when they attack. It's truly a town brimming with magic power."

"Maybe if we go out for a while, this little building might be gone when we come back."

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes. No wonder the guy in charge of renting out the house said it was dangerous and that he had fun before taking the money and running away.

He suspected that the siren had deliberately entered the town to continuously destroy and rebuild, thereby increasing rental income.

"No~ It could be gone at any time!" Nan Jue's expression turned serious. She recalled the scene just now and noticed that the guy said he didn't need to pay compensation.

"There should be a bottom line, right? Aren't they afraid of going too far and nobody will come here?" Zhao Manyan also realized that this business model really had a foreign flavor.

"In short, be sure to activate your magical artifacts at any time to defend yourselves; preserving your lives is the most important thing."

"Being caught in the aftermath of the battle is at least much better than being surrounded by demons."

"I believe most of them are mid-level spells, and no one would be foolish enough to unleash a high-level, large-scale destructive spell in a small town."

Wang Teng knew that the International Magic Convention was only enforced in big cities, where ambushes were common, but in a small place like this, it was nothing.

Especially in such a gathering place of mages, ordinary people are not qualified to stay here, and its geographical location is close to the Misty Islands, so danger is lurking at all times.

"Alright, let's rest and see when the weather turns around before deciding when to enter the Misty Islands." Nan Jue wasn't reckless; the mission was there and wouldn't be abandoned.

As for risking one's own safety to save someone? Forget about it. A team of four can only do so much.

The four of them went up to the second floor and each randomly chose a room to rest. However, to everyone's surprise, they ended up waiting until the next day.

Even after the other side's rescue team arrived, the rainy weather persisted.

The next day, they met a high-ranking mage early in the morning in the town of Borod.

"Hello, my name is Bruce." A middle-aged white man, with a scholarly and artistic air about him, but with an arrogant look in his eyes.

"Hello~ I wonder how Mr. Bruce plans to get in?" Wang Teng asked.

"Of course we went straight in. My mission was to provide immediate rescue, not to wait here," Bruce said, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Bruce, are you unaware of the dangers of the Misty Islands? In this rainy weather, it's possible to accidentally wander into the core area," Nan Jue warned loudly.

"That's impossible. I have full confidence in my magic. Alright, your mission is over for now." Bruce shook his head, indicating that it was impossible.

"Then go ahead~ I hope you can save that lousy team." Wang Teng's attitude towards this arrogant guy was that he hoped he would die in the Misty Islands.

"Then you don't need to worry about it!" Bruce turned and left, his face showing displeasure.

Inside the hall, the four looked at each other in bewilderment, never expecting that the mission would take such an unexpected turn due to the weather.

"Alright, now that the mission is over, we're free to do as we please. We still have plenty of time."

"Nan Jue, tell Ai Jiangtu what happened today and report it to your mentor. At least we can't be blamed for this."

Wang Teng couldn't back down just because the mission was over; he had to at least go in and see what the so-called Misty Islands were like.

"Can that guy succeed?" Nan Jue nodded, then raised his own question.

"It's hard to say. I've never been to the Misty Islands, so I don't know how harsh the environment there really is."

"That guy was a high-level wind mage. Given his ability to fly, he had a good chance of finding the missing team."

Wang Teng could clearly sense the opponent's magical energy fluctuations, which was why the opponent didn't hold back at all.

"I'm planning to go inside alone and take a look. What about you guys? Any ideas?"

Nan Jue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant, "Then go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

Zhao Manyan hesitated, wanting to go in with her, but since Nan Jue had already spoken, it would be inconsiderate of him to linger any longer.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Shaoxu came up to show her concern, but her face showed a hint of reluctance. This risky entry was hard for her to accept.

But she also knew that among those present, Wang Teng had the highest cultivation level and the strongest mobility, so ordinary problems were no challenge for him.

Going in as a group might actually hinder him. If the weather were good, it wouldn't be a problem, but on this rainy day…

"Don't worry~"

"I won't stay inside for too long, at the earliest a day or two, at the latest about a week. If there are any unexpected situations, I will come back and let you know."

Wang Teng offered some words of comfort, then turned and went out to follow Bruce.

As he continued forward, he soon saw a figure soar into the sky, flapping its wings, and disappear amidst the exclamations of those nearby.

Wang Teng casually walked to a corner, entered a stealth state, and followed Bruce not far behind.

Visibility was very low due to the rainy weather. After flying for nearly half an hour, the outline of the island could be vaguely seen in the blurry vision.

Bruce turned and flew towards the island. He had a map of the area in his hand. By comparing the island's outline with the map, he quickly determined that it was the first island on the left.

"This guy was somewhat prepared."

Wang Teng stood in the deep void, watching the other party lower its altitude and fly along the top of the island. Having wings and being able to fly is certainly a convenience.

He continued to follow, wanting to see if this guy could really find that group of people.

Bruce flew along the island's coastline, but the island's vastness and the thicker fog made his search even more difficult.

The island, stretching for tens of kilometers, resembles a lurking beast on rainy days. The tranquil forest, without the slightest ripple or wave, stirs a sense of unease.

Bruce's face showed a grim expression. He had underestimated the environment; the fog density on this rainy day had reached a level he hadn't anticipated.

He could even sense that he was being watched by something unseen.
