Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 222 The Sand Cavern (Thanks to the bosses for the monthly tickets)

Beneath the earth, Wang Teng came to a cave hundreds of meters deep to escape the pursuit of the leader of the desert red ants.

"What a cunning old fox... Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise he would have succeeded."

Wang Teng patted his clothes, still feeling lingering fear. The danger at the edge of the core area was no joke.

Even someone as good at hiding as him was easily ambushed. The other people's methods of concealment were practically the same as walking in openly, so it would be strange if they didn't die.

This doesn't even include the demons hidden underground, which are already this terrifying, and so far, the Supreme Monarch has only seen one.

In the Demon Empire, the emperor's subordinates cannot only be one supreme monarch; there must be another one hiding in some corner who has not yet emerged.

Wang Teng calmed himself down and began to survey the surrounding caverns. The caverns were very large and interconnected.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the concentration of demonic energy here was several times higher than that outside, and the residual demonic power was of an absurdly high quality.

"My current location is still on the periphery. Let's go further in and see if there are any resources."

Wang Teng had an idea. Since he was already here, it would be a shame not to take a closer look. However, he needed to concentrate even more and be ready to make a run for it at any time.

He was just ambushed, which served as a warning to him!

As he stealthily navigated through the void, he ventured deeper and deeper, sensing the changes in the concentration of magical energy, and moving towards areas with higher concentrations.

The dark and deep cave was extremely quiet, and even the slightest sound could be amplified to a clear level.

As he continued forward, he felt as if he had traveled hundreds of kilometers, but he still saw neither resources nor any demons.

The only change was that the concentration of magical energy had increased to several dozen times that of the outside world.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, a scraping sound rang out, and Wang Teng abruptly turned his head to look at the cave on the right, where a huge phantom slowly emerged.

With an overwhelming sense of oppression, a gigantic, sharp-tailed scorpion strolled leisurely in the darkness. Its black body and green tail made it look like a highly venomous creature.

Its massive body, hundreds of meters wide, almost filled the cave as it walked toward Wang Teng's location, seemingly unaware that he was hiding in the corner.

Wang Teng concealed all his aura, standing motionless in the recessed corner of the wall, even avoiding eye contact with the scorpion with its pointed tail, so as not to attract its attention.

A short while later, after the scorpion with the pointed tail had left, Wang Teng dared to release his spiritual power to probe outwards. He sensed the residual demonic energy and knew that this was another demon at the Supreme Monarch level.

"The air this guy brought has an unusually high concentration of magical energy. Could it be that its lair is nearby?"

With a heart full of trepidation, Wang Teng gritted his teeth and walked towards the cave from which the Sharp-tailed Demon Scorpion had come.

The figure moved forward quickly, and after walking for several kilometers, it finally saw a huge underground cavern with a magical energy concentration that was hundreds of times higher than normal.

There were no other demonic auras present in the entire space, and the same aura as that of the Sharp-tailed Demon Scorpion still lingered there.

Wang Teng quickly slipped inside. Inside the dark cave, many fragments of body parts and various demonic limbs were scattered on the ground.

After a quick search, he found the treasure that captivated him in the center of the cave: a tall, dark green tree.

The entire tree is only a hundred meters tall, with its trunk winding and spiraling upwards like a dragon. The branches at the top are extremely sparse, consisting of only umbrella-shaped branches about ten meters wide.

What he longed for most were the fruits growing on it, ten golden fruits, each the size of a pomelo, exuding a rich vitality.

"Hehehe... Since I've run into you, I won't be polite."

Wang Teng grinned from ear to ear, rushed over, quickly picked the fruit, and then ate it whole.

He did this because the plants in this world are very magical; once the fruit leaves the tree, it may quickly lose its effectiveness.

In no time, ten fruits were eaten, and a surge of vitality filled his body, which greedily devoured them.

boom!

A terrifying, supreme monarch-level pressure rapidly expanded and emanated from afar.

"Time to run!"

Wang Teng immediately teleported away, disappearing completely.

When it reappeared, it had left the core area and arrived at the outer coastal area, where it could easily travel thousands of kilometers by teleporting.

There are no cities near the landing point; the demons there are mostly weak warrior-level demons, with only one or two commander-level demons.

He remained in the void, slowly absorbing and digesting the abundant life force within his body. The effects of these ten fruits on him were extremely powerful.

The demon core within his body accelerated its rotation, forcefully pulling the demonic energy from the surrounding void into his body, causing his demonic power to boil and surge dramatically.

Wang Teng felt like he was stuffed, and his demonic power was still surging continuously, so he could only try his best to control it.

Time flies, and a month has quietly passed.

The time spent on this training exceeded his expectations.

In the void, he sat cross-legged, opened his eyes, revealing a breathtaking pressure, his pupils turning into a bright silver.

"This time, his potential has been greatly enhanced, and his demonic power has surged to its limit. As long as his soul and physique catch up gradually, he will not be far from reaching the peak of the monarch level."

After reaching the monarch level, each subsequent tier brings a significant difference in strength. Even within the same tier, there is a substantial gap between the initial entry and the peak.

As for the Grand Monarch level, he didn't dare to even think about it. He couldn't possibly cross that level with just a few fruits.

I really envy the scorpion with the pointed tail. That bastard guards the fruit tree and always has something to eat; it just takes a little time to wait.

I'll have to find a way to go a few more times in the future!

Wang Teng admitted that he had his eye on that fruit tree; the fruit, which could provide immense vitality, was simply the demons' favorite.

"We've been out for so long, it's time to go back. Our two months of training should be almost up."

Even though he was reluctant, he still needed to go back. He needed to improve his strength step by step, and he also needed to take care of his magic.

After all, the construction of the Hall of Heroes would require the assistance of magic, as it was his chance to become an emperor, and he had to take it seriously.

After determining the direction, Wang Teng quickly left the place using teleportation.

Half an hour later, Wang Teng strolled leisurely towards the hotel.

Upon returning to the city, he received various messages from Ding Yumin, Tang Yue, Jiang Shaoxu, Wang Yueqianxun, and Lin Yunxi.

I don't know if these women were telepathically connected, but they all ended up sending him messages together.

He could only reply as he walked back; that's how it is when you're out there gaining experience—you can only express your care and concern by sending messages.

"The missing person has returned!" Nan Jue said jokingly.

Beside her were Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Tingying, and Nan Rongni. The women were carrying large and small bags back, and Jiang Shaoxu was glaring at him.

"Haha...something unexpected happened, I stayed outside a bit too long." Wang Teng laughed and replied, not expecting to run into them at the door.

P.S.: I can only manage basic updates lately and can't add extra chapters, which I apologize for. I currently owe two readers 5 extra chapters, which I will definitely make up for when I have the chance. The author would like to thank everyone again for their monthly tickets and recommendations.
