Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 209 The Scent of Bloodshed

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the boats docked at the shore.

I don't know if it was just bad luck, but there were an unusually large number of demons lurking on the shore. It wasn't until nightfall that we finally managed to find a place to rest.

"Li Kaifeng, Guan Yu, you two search the area for any demons or monsters. Be careful," Ai Jiangtu instructed as soon as he stepped ashore.

The two set off reluctantly, intending to scout ahead at night. This was a life-or-death mission; as assassins in the team, they couldn't escape it.

"Don't set up camp yet. Let's wait until the two of them have scouted out the area. If there are demons lurking nearby, we'll be in great danger."

Ai Jiangtu looked around and explained his actions and judgments.

Wang Teng closed his eyes slightly to sense the situation. With his current intuition, he was able to easily capture the aura of the demons. In just a moment, he understood the situation nearby.

There was no trace of demons within two kilometers, but two kilometers away, demons were lurking in two locations on the left and right, making this area seem like a buffer zone.

Generally, demon groups do not directly border each other, and they are all territorial. Once they have divided their territories, they generally do not move around randomly.

Furthermore, there are buffer zones between territories, which vary in size, ranging from a few kilometers to more than ten kilometers, depending on the size of the demon horde.

Half an hour later, amidst the vigilance of the group, the two returned, one on the left and one on the right, drawing everyone's attention.

"Two kilometers to the left of here, there are signs of demonic activity. I went a little deeper to investigate and found that a group of sea monsters are entrenched there," Li Kaifeng said.

"It's the same for me, but I can't quite tell whether it's a sea monster or a land demon." Guan Yu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

"It's dangerous. We're in the buffer zone between two demon foes. I suggest we don't pitch our tents and rest together."

"We could be attacked by scattered demons at any time here," Nan Jue said gravely.

The boatman looked at the group of young people and felt terrified. It was only because these young people were skilled and daring that they dared to do such a thing.

After discussion, everyone agreed to Nan Jue's suggestion, found a rock to lean against and rest, and still assigned two people to keep watch.

The night deepened.

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Rongni looked at Mu Tingying strangely. This girl was leaning closer with her face flushed. What was she going to do?

"Come with me to the bathroom," Mu Tingying whispered in her ear.

Nan Rongni glanced at the dark island, the surrounding area was also gloomy and eerie, which made her feel a little uneasy.

But it wouldn't be right not to go with you, since the Nanrong family was still subordinate to the Mu clan. He sighed inwardly, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Mu Tingying's eyes were filled with gratitude, so the two quietly left the camp and ran forty or fifty meters to find an out-of-see area to take care of the matter.

Zhao Manyan, who was on guard, glanced at the two women with a puzzled expression. He could still vaguely see their figures. The two women hadn't gone too far, and Nan Rongni seemed to be keeping watch.

After a minute or two, the two women ran back, ignoring Zhao Manyan's gaze.

Li Kaifeng pretended not to see it; as long as it wasn't a demon, it was fine.

However, things didn't go as planned. Just half an hour later, a fierce aura swept over the island, waking everyone up.

"What happened?" Zu Jiming quickly got up, his muscular body trembling as he shielded everyone in front of him.

"How would I know..." Li Kaifeng said irritably when he saw him hiding behind him. This guy was incredibly powerful, bloodthirsty and fierce, so he quickly retreated behind the group.

A group of people stood up and pushed and shoved their way to the back, and soon only Wang Teng and Ai Jiangtu were left in front.

"Damn it..."

Wang Teng's face darkened. He turned around and saw that they were all hiding behind him. These people were so afraid of dying.

Ai Jiangtu's body was trembling, and he slowly backed away. He felt that he was being watched, and fear emanated from his body. He instinctively wanted to run away, and if it weren't for his strong will, he would have turned around and run away.

roar roar...

The island in the darkness exuded gloom and murderous intent. In the distance, low hisses echoed, like the roar of a giant beast. The intense killing intent made one want to flee.

"What's the situation there?" Wang Teng turned his head impatiently to look at Zhao Manyan and Li Kaifeng.

Li Kaifeng opened his mouth, but he dared not give a perfunctory answer to Wang Teng's question.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but I know that about half an hour ago, two people ran over to that spot once." As Li Kaifeng spoke, he looked at Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni.

Now everyone's eyes were on the two of them, some even filled with anger, as they felt there was a traitor in the group.

Mu Tingying was startled by Zu Jiming's murderous gaze and stammered, "I...I just went to relieve myself."

"I'm not afraid of the dark~ I just asked Nan Rongni to come with me, I really didn't do anything else!"

Seeing this, Nan Rongni knew that she had probably aroused public outrage, and immediately spoke up to defend herself: "Yes, I can testify for her..."

"To relieve myself? To pee?" Zhao Manyan suddenly cried out.

Mu Tingying's face was flushed red as if it were about to bleed. At that moment, she wished she could sew Zhao Manyan's mouth shut, put him in a pig cage, and sink him into the sea.

"Are you marking your territory so late at night? That big lizard is looking for you. Why don't you go over and have a good talk with it about how to divide the territory?"

Wang Teng immediately smiled and said that he had figured out what had happened. As night fell, the sea would blow winds towards the islands due to the temperature difference.

This area has probably been claimed by that giant lizard; this woman's antics are tantamount to challenging its authority.

Boom~boom~boom~

As footsteps sounded, the earth began to tremble, and soon a colossal creature slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Its head, several meters high, supported a black, shiny body over a hundred meters long. It slowly crawled over, its tongue flicking out from time to time like a steel whip.

Splatter, splatter... Strands of highly corrosive liquid slid onto the ground, making a burning sound.

"This is a Blackscale Demon Lizard! Its size is probably beyond what even an advanced-stage commander can have." Guan Yu's face turned pale instantly. Who could deal with a monster of this level, let alone one that is amphibious?

Even if you leave by boat, you might not be able to outrun it in a short time.

Snap! Snap!

"Look what you've done!" Zu Jiming's eyes were bloodshot, and in his extreme anger, he slapped Mu Tingying's head twice.

If he doesn't survive this, he will definitely make this stupid woman pay with her life.

"Would hitting me solve the problem? Besides, I didn't do it on purpose." Mu Tingying immediately broke free, her face showing a hint of anger. If the situation weren't so bad, she would definitely have killed this muscular brute.
