Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 230 The Ancient City of Ruins

After some friendly exchanges, Zhao Manyan finally gave in to Mo Fan's intimidation and went on the treasure hunt with him.

"The challenge is up to you. Now that the participants are confirmed, let's go!"

Wang Teng immediately stood up, no longer interested in sitting there. With Ai Jiangtu there, challenging the opponent shouldn't be a problem.

The group of five left the tavern and headed to the Gobi Valley.

When we arrived at the Gobi Valley, it was almost afternoon, and the sun was at its most intense, baking the earth to an unbearable heat.

With Nan Jue leading the way, everyone arrived here easily. Looking at this passage that resembles a great rift valley, they felt the wonder of nature.

"How do we get across? Do I need to use the elemental instrument?" Nan Jue stood in front of the Gobi Valley and turned to look at Wang Teng.

"Need not!"

"Let me check the spatial node in the Gobi Valley, then I can just teleport there directly. There's no need for all this trouble."

Wang Teng stepped forward, extended his right hand, and a spatial constellation flashed by. A spatial fluctuation emanated from his hand, sweeping towards the Gobi Valley.

In the blink of an eye, the distance across the Gobi Valley was traversed, reaching several kilometers away.

"Spatial nodes have been detected, come to my side."

Mo Fan stared in astonishment at Wang Teng's actions. Spatial magic could be used like this? Capturing spatial nodes? What did that mean? Nodes could be captured?

A group of five people gathered together. Wang Teng, who was standing in the center, immediately activated spatial teleportation. Spatial magic roared and carried the group of people away.

As the world shifted, spatial ripples appeared on the other side of the Gobi Valley, and the five people suddenly appeared in mid-air, about a meter high, before falling down.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I knew that if you were here, we would have already entered the Ancient City of Ruins!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed excitedly, the spatial teleportation was truly satisfying.

"It's so convenient!" Nan Jue exclaimed with delight. This kind of spatial teleportation is a panacea, allowing for long-distance teleportation regardless of terrain and effectively avoiding demons.

"Damn~ Old Wang, teach me sometime!" Mo Fan's eyes turned red with envy. If he had such methods, exploring the land of demons would be a piece of cake.

"Alright, alright... let's go to the ancient ruins city first."

"Even if I were willing to teach you, you'd need to have the foundation first. You've already maxed out the advanced level of spatial magic? Let's talk about that later."

Wang Teng walked away with his hands in his pockets, making a big fuss over such a small trick, as if he had never seen the world before. In fact, all four of them had experienced it once.

Instead of listening to their praises, it's better to go to the ancient ruins city. The direction is easy to find; the ancient ruins city is as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark. You can tell where it is as soon as you sense it.

Jiang Shaoxu's face was flushed, and even after experiencing it again, she could still feel the charm of this spatial teleportation.

Nan Jue silently put away the elemental instrument she had made; it was no longer of any use.

"That's a deal! I'll come find you when I reach the advanced level of mastery. You can't go back on your word." Mo Fan said with a grin.

After traveling approximately four kilometers, the group quickly arrived near the black tornado.

Up close, we saw a black tornado that resembled a skyscraper, crackling with lightning and thunder, its influence reaching a vast area and causing the surrounding winds to swirl.

"Can we get in? It looks very dangerous." Zhao Manyan looked at the earth-shattering scene before him and felt a little scared.

"It doesn't feel like a soul seed..." Nan Jue glanced at the tornado, then looked around and found many ancient ruins with some mysterious runes on them.

"Go for it! What are you afraid of? Don't forget you're a turtle-shell mage, are you worried you can't hold out?"

Mo Fan touched the trembling Condensed Evil Pearl. There was definitely something he needed inside, so how could he give up the opportunity to collect energy?

"You make it sound nice, but I'm the one leading the charge, not you. Give it a try, and if it really doesn't work, don't blame me."

Provoked by Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan suppressed his unease. Since he was already here, it wasn't a bad idea to take a gamble.

After all, there are no bad apples here; almost everyone here is a pro.

Jiang Shaoxu followed behind Wang Teng, watching him raise his hand towards the tornado again, and asked, "Are you... sure you can do this?"

"You'll only know if you try."

Wang Teng wasn't sure either, since the room was full of restrictions, and he didn't know if there was a spatial sealing array. Under normal circumstances, restrictions wouldn't be able to stop spatial teleportation.

High-level magical spatial teleportation involves connecting a starting node to a terminal node, then moving into the deep void, and finally emerging from the deep void.

It can ignore many physical barriers and restrictions, and only when the restrictions penetrate deep into the void will it have a spatial sealing effect.

Otherwise, they will be teleported regardless of restrictions, which is the charm of spatial teleportation.

However, Wang Teng quickly frowned, and even secretly used his demonic magic, creating a powerful barrier that kept him outside.

Even entering the void realm is not an option, as the strength of the restriction has exceeded the limit.

"Phew~ No, there's a very advanced restriction inside. Spatial teleportation can't get past it. You'll have to figure something out."

"Maybe I have a way~"

"But I need time!"

Not far away, Nan Jue was focused on studying the runes on the ground. Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, he immediately turned around to respond.

"Then it's up to you. There's plenty of time!"

Wang Teng casually found a rock to sit on. As a demon, he was naturally not afraid of the rock surface after being exposed to the sun; it was only slightly warm.

"Shall we circle around the black tornado and see if there's anything good nearby?" Seeing that things had been delayed and he had nothing to do, Mo Fan immediately thought of treasure hunting.

"Let's go, but don't go too far. What if Nan Jue finds a way?"

Zhao Manyan knew Mo Fan too well; this guy was probably desperate for money, so he didn't mind accompanying him for a walk around the neighborhood.

Jiang Shaoxu watched the two leave, disappearing from sight as they circled the edge of the black tornado.

"Sit down for a while."

Glug glug...

Wang Teng casually pulled out a can of ice-cold beer and took a few big gulps. It felt so refreshing on this hot summer day.

"Hmm, I'll build a pavilion."

Jiang Shaoxu felt a little uncomfortable because the air was too hot, so he started piling up icicles on the spot, and soon a mushroom-shaped pavilion was built.

The icy blue mushroom-shaped pavilion completely sheltered the two of them, and the cool air it emitted perfectly dispelled the heat wave from the strong wind, making it extremely comfortable.

"You two have gone a bit too far!"

Nan Jue felt the occasional gust of cool air drifting over, and when she turned around, she found that the man and woman were sitting there drinking cold drinks, watching her work alone, which made her feel a little defensive.

"Go for it, Nan Jue!"

"Ahem... If you're thirsty, come and have a drink. I've got one for you."

Jiang Shaoxu also felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly mixed another cocktail to prepare, since she really couldn't be of much help in this regard.

With such hot weather and nothing to do, all I can do is sit down and have some cold drinks to relieve my irritable mood.
