Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 225 Harvesting Leeks

"I can't see anything unusual... It seems we'll have to wait until night to see what's different."

After examining the seven pictures carefully, Wang Teng found that they were all silent and did not show any supernatural characteristics, so he did not rush down to investigate.

Nobody knows if messing around will trigger the Nazca Lines' defense mechanism and destroy any potential treasures. Let's observe first.

It just takes a little more time; he has plenty of patience now.

Wang Teng sat cross-legged in the sky, carefully observing the land. The area depicted in the map did not look like it had any mineral deposits.

It's likely that the ancients foresaw this; if it could be easily discovered, this place would probably have been dug up and destroyed long ago.

As time went on, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and night gradually fell.

As the night sky appeared, Wang Teng observed the changes on the earth with all his heart.

The various geoglyphs suddenly seemed to come alive, especially the spider geoglyph, whose lines glowed red and created many phantom spiders on the ground.

The other geoglyphs are similar, displaying light in various colors such as white, black, and red, revealing a mystery quite different from what we see today.

"really!"

A knowing glint flashed in Wang Teng's silver eyes; the activation of the ground painting had allowed him to capture many details.

These geoglyphs seem to have been set up in advance, serving as guardians, and they revive and activate as night falls!

Perhaps this land was once inhabited by a community, whose sorcerers, wizards, or wise men set up this geoglyph to drive away demons.

The arrangement was extremely clever; he only sensed the presence of the grand formation when the ground painting was activated.

The ground painting also automatically starts and goes into sleep mode as day and night cycle, which is very intelligent.

After all, demons are rather dim-witted, and these newly appeared phantom birds or phantom spiders seem more likely to frighten them.

Demons also have a sense of territory, and they are unlikely to invade if they see this situation. Even if they are attacked, they can fight back.

Of course, this is just his guess, and whether it's right or wrong is no longer important.

Wang Teng flashed to the spider-shaped ground painting, still in a state of stealth in the void, so the ground painting could not interfere with this level.

"We should still give it a try!"

After initial observation and testing, he found no offensive capabilities in this geoglyph array, suggesting that its mechanism had a flaw.

A burst of demonic power erupted, and intense spatial fluctuations transmitted through layers of space to the outside world, instantly covering the entire spider-shaped ground painting.

Wang Teng squinted, carefully sensing the details revealed by the spatial fluctuations.

The entire ground painting seemed to have triggered a mechanism, the red light became even more eerie, and the array patterns of the great formation appeared!

The number of spider phantoms suddenly increased dramatically. The area, which was only a few hundred meters wide, was suddenly filled with spiders and even seemed crowded.

"Chaos magic, mind magic, shadow magic, space magic, summoning magic—it actually involves five magic systems in total, with various formations nested within each other."

"However, compared to the high-end atmosphere of Time Town, this place is clearly far inferior!"

"No wonder I couldn't sense the nodes of the grand formation. They actually buried the nodes in another dimension and used the nodes to set up an energy storage formation."

"It's actually a three-dimensional formation... The wisdom of the ancients is truly extraordinary."

Wang Teng had assumed there would be at least some magic stone veins underground, but now it seemed there weren't any; the stored magic energy was all in the interdimensional nodes.

Using an alternate dimension as a trigger point, the array can be activated by triggering restrictions based on the day-night cycle.

The wonders of other dimensions are generally imperceptible to ordinary mages. It can be a single point that extends into space within itself, making it extremely difficult to detect.

To achieve this is extremely difficult, requiring a thorough understanding of space and exceptional magical skill.

In reality, it's already quite good if you can achieve spatial folding to expand the spatial area; a more advanced approach is spatial nesting.

"If it weren't for my decent spatial skills, I could have easily been fooled."

Wang Teng's lips curled up slightly, and with a sweep of his mental energy, he quickly found one of the alternate dimension nodes.

The space, only one cubic meter in size, was filled with array patterns. In the center was a smooth sphere the size of a head, which looked like it was filled with a dreamlike chaotic halo. The vast magical energy had condensed into a solid state.

"Hiss~"

"A magical energy storage device made of nanocrystals!"

Wang Teng couldn't help but gasp. Just how extravagant were the ancients to use such high-grade materials to make a magic storage device?

Then he thought again, he could use it too, since his Hall of Heroes would also need it for setting up a grand formation later.

"This energy storage array is worth studying!"

Wang Teng quickly calmed down. Compared to the lines in the outside world, he was more interested in the energy storage array in this small alternate dimension.

However, it involves nested spatial and shadow magic arrays, and is essentially a chaotic energy gathering array, which he needs to unravel and memorize.

Two hours later, Wang Teng figured out the operating principle and replicated an exact copy of the energy-gathering array within his own alternate dimension.

After figuring it out, he immediately continued scanning and quickly found more nodes. Each node was identical, and the entire spider map contained 2401 mixed array nodes.

The main array consists of the Chaos, Mind, and Summoning arrays, while the other two are auxiliary arrays. The nodes of the entire mixed array are universal, maximizing its value.

What surprised him most was that the core of the Mind-Based Array was at the eye, a crystal-colored sphere emitting red light, with a spider phantom inside.

"What a field of chives!"

Wang Teng was filled with emotion. Even though the red light did not shine into the void, he felt as if his eyes had been illuminated by it.

So he reached out his evil hands to those nodes, and one tender leek after another was pulled away and stored in the shelves of the Hall of Heroes.

Even though he was in the void, Wang Teng was still able to use his demonic magic to collect items from the void. In less than half an hour, he had taken all the crystal storage artifacts from the nodes of the entire spider-shaped map.

Even that eye was taken away by him and stored in a separate box, since it was a different type, and there were still six left here.

After the magical energy supply was cut off, the entire geoglyph began to dim rapidly! The phantom spiders vanished quickly, and even the last one couldn't crawl out!

The phantom spiders, which had already been generated, scurried around the ground, seemingly unable to find their source and serving no purpose.

As if sensing the intruders, the other six geoglyphs activated, and various phantom monsters began to appear.

Wang Teng began to accelerate his harvesting of韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people), unleashing his mental power and doubling his attack speed, but this did not prevent the increase in monsters.

After nearly two hours of harvesting, the seven geoglyphs completely dimmed, and swarms of phantom monsters had gathered on the ground.

Without the nano-crystal storage device, the grand array cannot be activated at all unless someone is willing to provide the materials. To activate this level of hybrid grand array, at least elemental magic diamond-grade resources are required.

But we don't even have enough of this strategic resource for ourselves, so who would use it to reinforce such a formation?
