Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 299 Shocking the World (2 bonus chapters)

Shortly after they left, several assistant referees arrived, but they all remained silent.

They watched as the turbulent lake valley churned, the Chaos Dark Cave magic dispelled, and the poisonous cloud rapidly spread and enveloped the area once more.

But it no longer matters; the silent and terrifying valley has been fully revealed to the world by the Eye Eagle.

The two monsters ultimately failed to escape the lake valley area; after the poisonous cloud enveloped the area again, they slipped back in.

They were helpless against the two strange demons, not to mention that an even more terrifying demon was lurking nearby.

"I believe King Feimon has received the message. We must guard this area and prevent any other teams from coming over."

One of the assistant referees announced a temporary decision: they had seen all the corpses through the gaps in the churning poisonous cloud; there were no living beings left, and there was no possibility of saving them.

The Sky Eagle must have transmitted the footage; the rest will naturally be handled by higher-ups.

The crowd watching the live broadcast outside erupted in screams of surprise.

"This is terrifying! What kind of monster is this?"

"Those scarlet threads were truly chilling!"

"So many corpses... demonic, human..."

"How can there be such a terrifying place in this world?"

"This is the cruelty of demons..."

"It turns out there are so many terrifying dangers in the world we live in!"

"So those mages used to fight monsters like this?"

……

Countless viewers watching the live stream were shocked by this horrific scene.

Normally, you can't see any danger in the city; at most, there are just some large rat monsters.

If it's a really fierce one, a wolf might run in, which is already quite a big deal.

Living in a big city, one generally sees even less danger.

But now, such a terrifying scene is unfolding before their eyes, reminding countless people that they have actually been living in danger all along.

It is only through the sacrifices of countless people that this peace has been achieved.

Of course, there were also some rats jumping around in the stinking ditch, making everyone uneasy.

"Sigh..." Speaker Shao Zheng sighed helplessly as he watched the scene unfold. This is how the world is; people live in the cracks.

Pang Lai's expression was serious. He hadn't expected the treasure hunt venue to have such hidden dangers. The Hunter Alliance's arrangements were indeed rather careless.

Moreover, among those who died, there were clearly members of the Nationalist government team who had recently passed away.

Instead of going down, Wang Teng tore open this hidden scene with a single blow, demonstrating a level of skill far superior to those others.

This made him somewhat relieved, as the other party had acted cautiously enough.

But how many people are like this? Most people will probably share the same thoughts and fate as those hanging on the thread.

"This is utterly absurd! Is this how the Hunter's Alliance operates? Such a dangerous place, and no one went in to clear it out."

"Not only are they not clearing it out, but no one is even standing guard to prevent the academy team members from entering. This is blatant dereliction of duty!"

Han Ji angrily criticized the Hunter Alliance's inaction. As the president of the city, he couldn't stand this kind of behavior the most.

The others remained silent, and the high-ranking members of the aristocratic families sitting to the side lowered their gazes, sitting there calmly, as if this matter could not arouse their emotions at all.

From the very beginning, the education of the aristocratic class taught them not to easily trust others, and sometimes they couldn't even fully trust their own clansmen.

As a result, most members of the aristocratic class developed the habit of protecting themselves.

If we encounter difficulties that we cannot handle, we will retreat immediately rather than go up to our deaths.

Looking back now, it's clear that the Hunter Alliance was indeed unreliable. If Wang Teng hadn't torn apart that poisonous cloud, many people would probably still be in the dark.

Even just by watching the live stream, you can see how terrifying it is inside; anyone below the Super-Rank Mage level who goes in is basically committing suicide.

But the Hunter's Alliance has plenty of high-level mages and Hunter Kings. Can't they call on someone to handle this? It's not like it's the wilderness. It's a treasure hunt arena, yet they're just leaving it unattended because they can't handle it.

This is even more outrageous than what the aristocratic families did.

As time went on, the buzz surrounding the treasure hunt continued to grow around the world, with countless websites broadcasting the event.

Naturally, there were various comments, including criticisms of the Hunter Alliance, rational analyses, and passionate pronouncements from those who had fought for their cause…

The competition has come to an end. As the venue for the opening match, the spatial magic circle lights up again, and teams from all sides appear.

Unfortunately, there were a few fewer people than when they entered.

The mentors and assistant referees of each team began to integrate the gains of each team. The resources invested were marked, and as long as they matched, they were easy to calculate.

The resources invested by the Hunter Alliance are all recorded, which alone makes it easy to prevent fraudulent activities.

In the specially provided meeting room, the ten people who entered stood in the center, while two assistant referees sat at a work table, one responsible for checking and the other for recording and uploading via computer.

The entire process was filmed to serve as an impartial record of the statistical process.

"Okay, we can begin!" The assistant referee in charge of recording adjusted her computer and spoke to her colleague.

"Okay, please show us your results." Assistant referee Charlie said calmly, holding a scanner in his hand.

"This is my haul~" Ai Jiangtu stepped forward first, taking out two pieces of strange bone and several pieces of ore of different colors.

Beep beep beep...

The assistant referee scanned each item with the scanner and then waited for Merlin to process it.

"OK~ Total value 2.5 million." Merlin looked at the record generated on the computer and calculated the total value based on the market price.

"Next one~" Charlie smiled and extended his hand in invitation.

Ai Jiangtu took the resources and walked to the side, followed by Jiang Shaoxu, who took out two crystals.

"Valued at 1 million - Total value 3.5 million -"

……

As people came up one by one, they almost all had single-digit resources, worth around 1 million. Of course, some people didn't get anything at all.

Dongfang Lie and Zu Jiming stood behind the crowd, their faces flushed with shame.

Soon it was the last three: Wang Teng, Mo Fan, and Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue went up and handed over a Yuan Crystal, a strange bone, and a magical tool.

drip...

"Valued at 4 million, total value 12.5 billion."

Mo Fan strode up with an air of indifference, taking out the Stone Heart, the Strange Bone, the Chaos Vein, and so on. He even gave a portion of these to Eileen; otherwise, there would have been much more.

Beep beep... Charlie looked at the treasure in surprise; it was quite valuable.

"Worth 9.5 million, total value 22 billion!" Merlin couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"Damn it~ Mo Fan, you're really good at robbing! You've almost contributed half of the team's income by yourself." Zhao Manyan put his arm around Mo Fan as he walked over.

"Just so-so..." Mo Fan's lips curled up slightly, and the smugness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
