Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 405 Violent Ape Valley

Two hours later, many details were discussed and the documents were compiled, but some problems were encountered.

Wang Teng and Leng Qing went to a small meeting room to discuss the matter.

"Are you accepting magic stone resources or cash payment?" Leng Qing asked directly.

Wang Teng thought for a moment and then asked her, "What's your opinion?"

"I think cash payment is acceptable. The types of magic stone resources are not uniform, some are good and some are bad. We will not stay here for a long time, so it is difficult to tell if there is anything fishy going on."

"Most importantly, this is a magic stone vein with regenerative capabilities, so its development will inevitably be kept at a relatively conservative level."

"They most likely won't touch the core of the mineral vein, so there won't be many high-quality magic crystals."

"Ordinary magic stones are meaningless to us, and we have no plans to do second-hand magic stone business in China," Leng Qing explained, shaking his head.

The ideal outcome would be achieved if Lin Yunxi were to oversee the execution of this matter.

Of course, they could also send someone to supervise, since this is a long-term benefit, and trust is something that is difficult to maintain in the long run.

Magic stones are the most widely used energy source, but they are not considered a rare resource and do not possess any special resource attributes.

It's quite difficult for Wang Teng to find partners; the main problem is that it's complicated.

He is not suited for this kind of long-term, time-consuming, and labor-intensive business, where trust is a major issue.

This incident served as a wake-up call for him; in the future, he should think things through more carefully before making a decision. "Then let's settle for cash."

He wasn't particularly concerned about these resources; his main goal was to maintain this channel. At least with Lin Yunxi around, the cooperation between the two sides was currently going quite well.

Wang Teng has no immediate plans to change partners, and besides, he's too lazy to waste his energy on such a trivial matter.

Everything had to give way to his plan; this cooperation on the magic stone mine was just a way to earn some pocket money.

After some time, when the Ocean God Clan attacks, there will naturally be a major reshuffling of coastal cities. Without the ability to defend them, everything else is just empty talk.

And after all that mess he made, who knows what the world will become?

"Okay~" Leng Qing nodded and walked out of the small conference room.

Without wasting too much time, the representatives from all four parties met again in the afternoon and signed the cooperation agreement.

Wang Teng's task was to eliminate the Great Monarch-level demon, the Violent Ape King Kong. The remaining demon horde would be cleared out by Chairman Park and the Speaker, while the military would be responsible for the final cleanup and take over the excavation and collection work.

The security of the mineral resource sites will be jointly maintained by the three parties, with the distribution of profits in accordance with the agreement, and all costs incurred borne by the military.

Following the conclusion of this agreement, the military will lead the establishment of Valley Mining Development Company, with all four parties retaining board seats.

Because the members are all special and basically pay zero taxes, Wang Teng reserved a board seat for Leng Qing, who will also oversee the profits in the future.

After the agreement was signed, it wasn't until the third day that the three parties finally organized the main force to head to the Valley of the Violent Apes.

Having followed the previous route and cleared the area, they did not encounter any attacks from demons along the way.

After driving southeast in a military vehicle for three hours, we arrived at a monitoring station.

Looking out from here, you can see a mountain range stretching endlessly in the distance, extending from north to south. Although the mountain range is not as majestic and unique as the world's famous mountain ranges, it has its own distinctive features.

The rising mist swirled around the mountain stream, and the cold air currents created a scene of a wild fairyland.

The post station is more than five kilometers away from the Valley of the Violent Apes. It is responsible for monitoring the unusual movements of demons and monsters, and it is as if they are risking their lives to carry out the mission.

As soon as Wang Teng arrived, he sensed the monstrous ape, King Kong, hiding inside the valley; the aura it exuded showed no sign of concealing itself.

"Congressman Wang Teng, we're counting on you this time!" Lin Junshou said solemnly, having come in person for the large-scale purge mission.

In addition, there are a group of super-level mages and high-level mages led by him. Chairman Park is still unable to come because of the previous battle.

"Don't worry, you can attack with confidence. I'll take care of them as soon as they appear!"

Wang Teng spoke seriously, saying that in a fight, the cannon fodder should go first, and there's no reason for the leader to strike first.

He was in China before, so it was impossible for him to command those low- to mid-level mages to their deaths. He simply felt it was unnecessary, and that he could solve the problem by casting a spell.

However, times have changed. When you're in a foreign country, you don't have that concern. Just doing your job well is enough to show your professionalism.

"Then I'll have to trouble Councilor Wang Teng!"

This time, Lin Junshou had no choice but to trust the other party's professional ethics. He was gambling on their reputation, just as Wang Teng was gambling on theirs.

"Move out! Attack the Ape Valley!"

With Lin Junshou's order, the main force of mage troops quickly assembled and advanced according to the pre-arranged combat team combinations.

Initially, it was naturally the junior and intermediate level mages who dealt with the servant-level and warrior-level berserker ape demons on the periphery. The combination of ice and water magic in their attacks was incredibly lethal.

In particular, it comes with a lot of disposable magical tools, which gives the impression of preparing for a large-scale war.

Due to its geographical location, Seoul's mages are mostly ice-type, and water-type as well, while fire and lightning-type mages are relatively rare.

Environmental factors are very important, as they affect the speed of cultivation, so there is obviously not much space for other elemental magic to exist here.

"This is a very rare approach. Most domestic magic uses a combination of fire and wind magic, or a violent combination of lightning and fire magic."

Leng Qing followed Wang Teng inside the group, her eyes showing considerable interest in this fighting style.

To win this war in one fell swoop, they mobilized more than a thousand mages, a large proportion of whom were mid-level and high-level mages.

If this entire force were to be wiped out here, it would be a devastating blow to the Seoul base city, and it would probably take at least ten years to recover.

"This is where environmental factors determine everything. They cannot go against these factors; on the contrary, they will take advantage of them."

"This is a skill that every group of monks in every country and region needs to master."

Wang Teng greatly admired the other party's development philosophy of adapting to local conditions.

The two followed the team and quickly advanced the battle line. In just half an hour, they had advanced one kilometer, and the demons they encountered were also stronger.

Along the way, he even saw many traces left over from previous battles, probably the result of Chairman Park clearing a path last time.

Even though they lost last time, it was equivalent to consuming a large portion of the demons in Violent Ape Valley.

This made their advance exceptionally fast; just two hours later, they arrived at the real Valley of the Violent Apes.

The valley still bears many signs of decay, with broken wood and rocks scattered everywhere, and even many exposed demon bones.

The entire valley roughly covers a plain with a diameter of three kilometers. On one side is a river that flows down from the mountains, and behind it are mountain ranges.

At the deepest part of the valley is a huge cave, where the monstrous ape King Kong, exuding a strong presence, is located.

Various sizes of magic stones were scattered outside the cave entrance, and the entire valley was filled with rich magical energy, which slowly gathered from the outside world due to the terrain.
