Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 369 Fishing in the Dark

For Jiang Shaoxu's safety, Ding Yumin endured the discomfort of teleportation and followed behind Wang Teng without uttering a sound.

She also witnessed what it meant for such a vast country to be like a backyard garden, stretching from the easternmost point across almost the entire border to the western part in just a few breaths.

Standing high in the sky, she felt the vastness and grandeur of the earth, how awe-inspiring and profound it was.

"Found it!"

Wang Teng immediately located Jiang Shaoxu's location, having left a very subtle mark on her.

The mark was in front of the sandstorm, clearly indicating that she had been spotted and chased by the dust monsters.

Fortunately, she was not too far from the town, otherwise it would be hard to say whether she would have a cell phone signal.

Wang Teng teleported with Ding Yumin to the front of the Dust Demon, blocking the way for Jiang Shaoxu and his group.

"Wang Teng! How did you get here so quickly?"

Jiang Shaoxu was taken aback for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, though she looked somewhat disheveled from running all the way.

She was even preparing to use her phone to locate him when he arrived so quickly.

"Sister Shaoxu~" Ding Yumin waved to her happily.

"Yu Mian is here too, let's run! The Dust Monsters are chasing us..." Jiang Shaoxu didn't forget the swarm of deadly monsters behind them.

She had come to the Taklamakan Desert with the group to investigate some things, but she didn't expect to encounter the Dust Monster shortly after entering the desert.

There were only a few people left in the large group, otherwise she wouldn't have been prepared to inform Wang Teng.

"I've already brought people with me, why are you running away?" Wang Teng reached out and grabbed her.

As for the others who wanted to run away, he couldn't be bothered with them.

"Little Flame Princess! Let's go!" Ding Yumin immediately stepped forward. Her composure was clearly much better than Jiang Shaoxu's, and the noise was not enough to prevent her from casting magic.

huh huh...

Suddenly, the figure of Little Flame Princess appeared in the void. The palm-sized child transformed into a 12-year-old girl.

Little Flame Princess was engulfed in a raging inferno, transforming into a streak of red light as she plunged into the Dust Demon. In an instant, it was as if a volcano had erupted, with golden flames bursting forth.

In the blink of an eye, it covered a vast area of ​​nearly one kilometer, setting the entire sky ablaze, and instantly reducing the dust monsters to ashes.

Ding Yumin also released her Calamity Flame Domain, surrounding them all. The remaining demonic insects couldn't break through this wall of flames at all.

This scene, which resembled a natural disaster, left Jiang Shaoxu speechless with shock. She never expected that among the three sisters, the strongest one would be this youngest sister who usually didn't compete or fight for anything.

"Gulp~" Lin Feili swallowed, and suddenly found two eyes on him. He was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and tried to make himself less noticeable.

The man's gaze, that invisible pressure, was terrifying, even more so than the person himself, and it almost made his heart stop.

This was still a gaze without any malice, merely a glance at him, yet its intense presence felt as if it could pierce through him.

"Not bad~ It seems that Yu Mian is taking good care of Xiao Yan Ji. She looks like such a healthy child."

Wang Teng was quite satisfied. The power that Little Flame Princess had displayed was already at the sub-monarch level, but she herself was an advanced-stage commander.

This is extremely rare, no wonder the other party is the darling of the natural fire element.

Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes after hearing this. Whose child is so extraordinary?

In just ten minutes, the flames in the sky disappeared, and at the same time, the swarm of dust monsters also vanished completely.

Numbers are meaningless in the face of such power, unless there is an even stronger commander-in-chief behind them.

"These Dust Demons are really strange; they didn't even drop any remnants of their souls." Ding Yumin returned with Little Flame Princess, who had transformed back into her elf form.

"The prerequisite for exploding a broken soul is having sufficient soul strength, which these Dust Demons clearly do not possess."

Wang Teng saw through the true nature of these demons at a glance. They only appeared to be terrifying in combat power because of their sheer numbers, but they were also low in intelligence and prone to mindless charges.

This is only relatively threatening to mages and humans; it's actually quite ordinary against other types of demons.

After all, it's not an undead that can be resurrected infinitely by relying on death energy. All living demons have requirements for their living environment.

Without sufficient resources, demons cannot quickly build up their forces; instead, this will lead to a civil war among demons, vying for each other's territory.

Demons aren't gods; how can they create something out of nothing? Even something as bizarre as the Red Demon needs resources to develop.

"Who is this...?"

Wang Teng temporarily ignored Jiang Shaoxu's question. There was still a stranger at the scene who, unexpectedly, stayed behind instead of continuing to run with the group.

"His name is Lin Feili, and he is a soldier. However, he has been trapped here for a long time and is almost completely cut off from society," Jiang Shaoxu said, revealing the man's identity.

"Hello!" Lin Feili immediately gave the man in front of him a military salute. Although he didn't know who the man was, he instinctively felt that the man was not simple.

"Hello~ My name is Wang Teng, a member of the Palace Mage Council. You can call me Councilor Wang." Wang Teng nodded in response.

"Consul Wang, hello!" Lin Feili was immediately invigorated. Even though he had spent seven or eight years in the wilderness, he still knew what a councilor of the Palace Mage Corps represented.

A surge of courage suddenly rose within him, giving him an urge to speak out; the more he suppressed it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Councilor Wang... can I trust you?" Lin Feili asked hesitantly, still harboring doubts despite feeling unwell.

"If I can't even be trusted, then this country is probably beyond saving," Wang Teng said with a smile, making Jiang Shaoxu roll her eyes.

"In that case, I have something very important to report to you. Back then..."

Lin Feili finally broke down in tears and recounted a long-ago story, the origin of which was the Earth's Core.

"So you do remember! Hahahaha..."

A figure laughing wildly approached quickly from a distance, his eyes fixed on Lin Feili.

"You—" Lin Feili immediately regretted saying it. He wasn't afraid of death, but he couldn't let that treasure fall into the hands of this executioner.

"Who gave you the courage to appear before me?"

"Is that your advanced cultivation level?"

"Tch~"

Wang Teng took two steps forward, easily blocking the other party's imposing aura, and looked at him with disdain, as if he were looking at an ant.

"Huh? Where did this brat come from? He's even more arrogant than me?"

Shi Qianshou's fierce gaze shifted to the young man in front of him, whose clothes suggested he might be a second-generation demon.

Therefore, his vigilance relaxed slightly. Whether this kind of super-level being, who relied on the accumulation of resources, could actually unleash a super-level spell was still unknown.

They'd probably be so scared they'd wet themselves if they encountered demons.

On the contrary, it was another woman who made him somewhat wary. Her cultivation level was secondary; it was the unknown fire elemental creature that posed a threat to him.
