Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 251 The Shadow of Fear

Knowing this news in advance will naturally bring greater benefits. The formation of mineral veins is not easy, and whether they are small or large, their value will not be low.

These things range from billions to hundreds of billions, all measured in hundreds of millions, and are simply incomparable to plain soup.

This is why he was so excited when he heard about the magic stone vein. Whether Jiang Yu used his summoned beasts or he dug it himself, it was worth a try.

You might only encounter this kind of "finding money" a few times in your entire life.

"You want me to come with you?"

"You want me to use my summoned beasts to dig?"

Jiang Yu met Ai Jiangtu's burning gaze and quickly realized what he meant. His summoned beast, the Giant Rock Beast, did indeed know some earth magic, so digging things up wouldn't be a problem.

"Yes! You should know that mining a little bit of magic stone from a vein can easily yield hundreds of millions, and a little more can easily bring in hundreds of millions," Ai Jiangtu nodded affirmatively.

pop~

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan slapped his thigh hard. The Swift Star Wolf didn't have that ability right now, as if he had missed out on a fortune!

"What are you doing?" Seeing his crazy behavior, Zhao Manyan instinctively moved his thigh away to avoid harming innocent people.

"My summoned beast isn't good at digging, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money!" Mo Fan said with a pained expression.

Mu Ningxue lowered her eyes slightly. Currently, none of her summoned beasts were willing to form a contract with her, which was due to the influence of the Chasing Bow.

"Heh... Looks like not many people will be able to go this time, tsk tsk tsk..."

Wang Teng crossed his legs, a mocking expression on his face. Even with such an obvious opportunity to make a fortune, they were powerless to do anything about it.

Of all the people, Jiang Yu has a summoned beast, Mo Fan has a space-type ability that he can barely use, Dongfang Lie has a mid-level earth-type ability that he can use, Zu Jiming is afraid of dying and won't go, and the others' low-level earth-type magic power is simply not enough.

"You're just making sarcastic remarks~" Jiang Shaoxu slapped him speechlessly. When excavating magic stone veins, earth-type characters do indeed have a significant advantage.

"Let me explain in more detail. In addition to a curse or mind mage leading the team, we also need earth magic for excavation, whether it's summoned beasts or magic, and spatial magic is also acceptable."

"I will lead the team this time. After the challenge ends, we will head to the mine. The others can choose to provide logistical support from the rear."

"A share of the profits we make afterwards will also be given to you."

Ai Jiangtu hesitated for a moment, but decided to share some of the profits with the others instead of keeping them all to himself. After all, they were all on the same team and shouldn't be too concerned about such things.

Upon hearing this, many people with weak wills had a flicker of interest in their eyes. Being able to get money without going to the cursed land was certainly the best thing ever.

The logistical risks are not high, and it is within their acceptable range.

"Haha... Captain, I support you!" Zu Jiming grinned and laughed heartily, not feeling embarrassed at all.

The five girls all gave each other disdainful looks; even they felt that Ai Jiangtu was being too generous, and that holding onto him felt like burning their hands.

How could Zujiming accept benefits so readily and without any remorse?

"Since everyone is fine with this, let's head out and challenge them. Let's finish this quickly and then set off."

"Another thing is vampires. There are vampires in Mexico City, so everyone should be careful and stay together as much as possible."

Ai Jiangtu didn't intend to reveal some details, as that could easily cause unnecessary anxiety; he just wanted them to remain vigilant.

……

After half an hour.

Ai Jiangtu led four team members out of the Mexican pavilion, taking no more than ten minutes in total.

Wang Teng sat on the motorcycle, with three beautiful women still riding behind him, waiting for them by the roadside.

"This is so relaxing~ The Mexican national team was terrible." Guan Yu said with a look of enjoyment.

"You're laughing so hard you're sick of beating up even a small fry~ Can't you be a little more dignified?" Zu Jiming didn't feel any joy from the game of bullying noobs.

"What do you know..."

Boom boom boom...

With everyone in place, they rode four motorcycles toward the East Gate. Obviously, two wheels were more convenient than walking.

They soon left the city and, led by Ai Jiangtu, headed towards the wilderness.

After traveling for three hours, near noon, they arrived at a makeshift campsite where there were many military personnel and young mages from the Temple of Liberty.

"Sure enough, the local monks have already started their work. I wonder how their results are?"

Jiang Yu watched them outside the camp, sorting through the mud-covered magic stones, washing them clean, and putting them into wooden boxes.

"Oh...they're back?" Mo Fan's eyes were fixed on a truck that drove out of the dense forest, its back filled with magic stones covered in mud.

The truck arrived at the cleaning area and skillfully unloaded the magic stones it had loaded.

"Hey Jim, looks like you had a good morning." A middle-aged officer walked up to the driver's cab.

"Not much~ We only managed to find two truckloads of goods this morning. The team will be heading back to rest soon, and we'll get back to work this afternoon."

"It's lunchtime, I'd like to go get a drink!" Jim said, then turned and walked towards the rear camp.

William turned to look at the group of young people who had just arrived, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

"Hello~ My name is William, I am a major in the military, and I am the administrator of this camp."

Ai Jiangtu immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the other party. "Hello, Major William. We are the National Government team that received information about the mine. This is our proof."

After he finished speaking, he handed over the medal that represented his identity.

"Oh, great young people! You can pitch your tents near our campsite and share responsibility for camp security."

"This mining area will be gradually opened up, and you have the right to mine the veins, but we have the right of first refusal."

"Of course, it will definitely be a little lower than the market price. I'm sure you're also having trouble dealing with magic stones, and we can solve your problem."

William returned the medal to the young man before him. Currently, the government has opened the medal to students from local universities and colleges, as well as to government teams passing through from various countries.

The military only sent a small team to acquire the mine. After all, the daily output was very limited, so they didn't need too many people. The mine was a small one, so its value was neither high nor low.

"We'll cooperate~" Ai Jiangtu didn't see anything wrong with what he said; it was indeed beneficial for both sides.

"Hmm~ Follow the road the truck came from for about a hundred meters and you'll reach the Cursed Land. Once you get there, you'll see the mining area."

"Have a good mining trip!" William said, then turned and left.

"Let's go check the situation first!" Ai Jiangtu said.

A group of people walked along the hardened rock road that had been cleared out, and after walking for more than a hundred meters, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

All that could be seen ahead was a blanket of gloom covering the land, and the farther away one looked, the thicker the gloom became.

Two or three hundred meters away, a low-lying area has been dug out, with a lot of freshly turned soil and gravel, and it doesn't look that dangerous.

At the edge of the low-lying area was the truck loading area, where about a dozen young men appeared to be cleaning mud and grime from their bodies.
