Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 118 Entering the Dabie Mountains

Bai Mo glanced at the building; it was a welfare home with the words "Sunshine Welfare Home" written on it.

"Bai Mo, what are you looking at?" Ai Tu Tu's curious voice rang out from the side.

"We ran into a classmate, let's go say hello."

As he spoke, Bai Mo took two steps forward and shouted, "Zhang Yuan!"

Zhang Yuan stopped at the entrance of the welfare home, turned his head and looked over, and saw Bai Mo and two pretty girls walking towards him.

He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to touch his head, but he couldn't because of what he was holding.

Bai Mo raised his hand and used his spatial powers to help him lift it, then asked, "What are you doing here? What are these?"

"Yeah, they're all toys, for my younger siblings." Zhang Yuan smiled and touched his buzz cut.

Bai Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this, not particularly surprised.

"Brother Mo, would you like to come in and take a look around?" Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Bai Mo and the other two, and finally said.

"Sure, I really like kids." Bai Mo readily agreed, and then introduced them. "This is Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao is my friend."

After saying that, he turned to the two women and said, "Zhang Yuan, my roommate."

Hello everyone!

"Hehe, hello!"

"Hello there."

After taking a stroll around the orphanage, Bai Mo noticed that it seemed to have been renovated not long ago. The children inside were dressed very cleanly and neatly, and all their clothes were new and no two were the same.

It's the same as the toys they helped distribute earlier.

By listening to conversations between the cleaning lady and some long-time employees, he discovered that Zhang Yuan had done all of this, which was pretty much what he had expected.

Before they knew it, it was evening. Bai Mo escorted the two women home, but he didn't rush back to his own home.

Instead, he went to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds to visit the widowed and childless people, making all the arrangements perfectly clear.

As soon as I entered the hunting lodge, I saw Lingling lying on the table, looking utterly bored.

"Aren't you happy even though you're on vacation, Lingling?" Bai Mo walked over and sat down, smiling.

"Boring, nothing to do," Lingling's muffled voice came from behind her.

"Have you eaten zongzi and salted duck eggs?"

"I ate it, but it wasn't good."

"Where is my Divine Dust Tiger? Have you found any definite news about it?" Bai Mo asked.

Lingling propped herself up, pressed some keys on the computer, and said as she did so:

"I haven't heard from those reliable intelligence hunters I've been following for a long time. I suspect they might have died in the Dabie Mountains. The latest news I got was a month ago. He said he found out that the Divine Dust Tiger's favorite food is a kind of demon. If we find the demon's habitat and wait for it to come to us, we might be able to catch the Divine Dust Tiger."

"How strong is that hunter?"

"Worse than you."

"They're probably eaten by tigers," Bai Mo remarked, then asked, "Were many people killed in the Dabie Mountains?"

"Normal casualties. When we first heard that there were cubs of the Divine Dust Tiger in the Dabie Mountains, many clueless hunters wanted to go in and try their luck."

They lacked both the strength and knowledge of the Dabie Mountains. Naturally, they were killed by the demons. As the number of deaths increased, many realized that without sufficient preparation, they would not venture in.

After saying this, Lingling picked up the water on the table, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then continued:

"Many skilled hunters will not take risks based on hearsay unless they need the Goddust Tiger. Otherwise, they will only accept confirmed missions with high bounties."

"Hmm, I see." Bai Mo thought for a moment. Now that he was strong enough, he could go and have some fun in the mountains. Besides, Shen Chenhu was only at most a warrior general, which he could still defeat.

Once Shenchenhu possesses the strength of a warrior, his parents will completely abandon him. In other words, he won't be lucky enough to encounter the little tiger's monarch father or mother if he goes now.

So Bai Mo said, "Why don't we go for a stroll in the Dabie Mountains? You should be able to find more accurate information there."

"I thought you weren't in a hurry." Lingling glanced at him, her expression immediately becoming spirited.

After a flurry of clicks on the computer, a leisurely voice came through: "I bought a ticket to Gangcheng, and I'm leaving in three days."

"it is good."

The Dabie Mountains cover a vast area, forming the border between Jiangzhou, Huizhou, and Zhongzhou. Gangcheng is located in the eastern part of Jiangzhou and was a military town in ancient times.

Therefore, even now, Gangcheng still has a tall and mottled ancient city wall standing on all four sides of the city, with two head-sized blue bricks.

The scattered scars record the stories of those who came before.

What is it?

The stone bricks will not remember, and people have forgotten.

"The Dabie Mountains are dominated by the Boar Demon tribe. If all of them are added together, they can be considered a tribe. The outer ring of mountains is almost entirely occupied by those Boar Demons."

Lingling and Bai Mo sat together on Feilian, which was transformed from the wind spirit, and slowly explained what they knew about the demons in Dabie Mountain.

"Therefore, in order to enter the Dabie Mountains, we must first pass through the territory of the Boar Demons. Due to certain customs, there is a lot of hunting of Boar Demons in Gangcheng, so there are not too many Boar Demons on the outskirts, about ten nests, which will make it relatively easy for us to pass through."

Bai Mo patted Feng Ling's back and nodded slowly, "With Feng Ling here, those boar demons can't catch up with us."

This trip to the Dabie Mountains isn't about slaying demons, but about finding treasure. So, if we can avoid fighting, it's best to do so.

However, even after passing through the horde of boar demons and entering the true Dabie Mountain forest, one has only entered the Dabie Mountains. Finding a resting place for the Divine Dust Tiger amidst the continuous mountain ranges will require some thought.

Therefore, Bai Mo asked, "Lingling, have you found a way to deal with the Divine Dust Tiger?"

"I've got it, but we need to find the Spirit Heart Deer first."

"Spirit Heart Deer?!" Bai Mo murmured the name, and naturally, records about the Spirit Heart Deer appeared in his mind.

The Spirit Heart Deer is a social, servant-level demon that exists only in the Dabie Mountains. However, it is widely distributed in the Dabie Mountains, and their groups are not large.

These are creatures struggling at the bottom of the demon society, and are one of the diets of many creatures.

This is why they have acquired a slight psychic ability: the ability to sense danger, which is amplified when Spiritheart Deer groups gather.

Even so, some predators still manage to get them all away.

Therefore, although the Lingxin deer live in groups, their numbers can be considered small compared to the vast Dabie Mountains.

After reviewing the information about the Spirit Heart Deer, Bai Mo asked, "What's wrong with the Spirit Heart Deer? Is it food for the Divine Dust Tiger? Even so, the Divine Dust Tiger has other food sources."

Lingling didn't answer Bai Mo's question immediately, but instead asked:

"Every single-elemental being of noble bloodline gains a second power upon reaching a certain stage, most of which are related to the spiritual realm. You know that, right?"

"I understand." Bai Mo nodded. Just like Yan Ji, who would gain spatial abilities after reaching the growth stage, and Feng Ling, who would gain mental abilities after reaching the growth stage. His own Origin Returning Talent only required a single elemental being; there were no requirements for non-elemental powers.

"Do you know what power the Divine Dust Tiger gains during its growth period?"

"The Divine Dust Tigers seem to be somewhat special. Some of them possess mental powers, while others possess curse powers," Bai Mo said, recalling the information he had about the Divine Dust Tigers.

After saying that, thinking of the Spirit Heart Deer's mental abilities, he suddenly realized, "You mean, the Divine Dust Tiger has a particular fondness for Spirit Heart Deer as food?"

Lingling nodded. "That's right, so we need to find the Spirit Heart Deer herd and then wait for them to come to us. It's too dangerous to just wander around the Dabie Mountains."

"Then where shall we go to search for the Spirit Heart Deer herd?"

"Let's go into the Dabie Mountains first. I know a place where there are Spirit Heart Deer," Lingling said.

Feng Ling moved quickly and steadily, and in the time it took them to talk, they had already arrived at the outer edge of the Dabie Mountains, the territory of the Boar Demon.

The approaching aura of the alien creatures quickly attracted groups of strong, dark-skinned boar demons covered in steel bristles and with long, thick fangs pointing skyward.

But the Wind Spirit was fast enough that those two-meter-tall boar demons were no different from slightly taller rocks in front of it.

With a gentle step on the ground, the four limbs, gathered by the dry wind, leaped up lightly and landed perfectly on the backs of the boar demons blocking its way.

Before they could react, the whirlwind swirling beneath their feet provided a boost, and in the blink of an eye, they drifted down dozens of meters away.

Not a speck of dust was stirred up; only a gentle breeze stirred the ground, as if silently mocking the pig demons' overestimation of their abilities.

"Whoosh!!!!"

A muffled roar that shook the forest struck Bai Mo and Ling Ling's faces, and also struck Feng Ling, who was running.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic boar demon, twice the size of a large truck, came charging straight at Feng Ling!

The sturdy wild trees and lush wild grass were all smashed to pieces.

Their momentum remains undiminished, and they're getting faster and faster!

Those tusks, longer and sharper than ivory, were like siege spears capable of breaching city walls. Their imposing presence was unstoppable.

"City-Destroying Boar!" Bai Mo's eyes narrowed, instantly recognizing the demon. This was a warrior among the boar demons, possessing immense strength, capable of breaching city walls with a single charge.

Without pausing for a moment, the Wind Spirit maintained its speed as it faced the oncoming City Destroyer, the only change being the wind swirling around it.

A wisp of wind swayed the surrounding grass and trees, and in an instant, it gathered and swirled around the wind spirit, even when facing a demon that was taller than itself.

Feng Ling easily leaped high into the air, almost as if taking flight, dodging this premeditated attack.

In the blink of an eye, not a single wisp of magical energy was wasted, nor a single spell was used.

They had already crossed the outer perimeter of the Dabie Mountains and entered the interior.

"Hmm~"

Stopping its rapid pace, Fengling let out a low growl, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with its evasive maneuvering. Many times it could have directly conjured wind blades to slaughter those annoying wild boars, but Bai Mo had stopped it.

"Alright, alright, I'll fight my way out with you on our way back. We need to conserve our strength now."

Bai Mo patted Feng Ling's head and comforted her gently.

The trees on the mountain range where the boar demon lived were sparse and not very tall. Now we have come to the interior of the mountain range.

The surrounding trees are all ancient and towering, with the branches and leaves of a single tree spreading out to cast a shadow of more than fifty meters.

However, the formation of so many tall trees requires a lot of nutrients, so these tall trees are neither very dense nor very sparse.

They grow naturally in this forest, where the perfect amount of sunlight falls.

The image was projected onto a jet-black snake coiled around its branch.

Its pitch-black color swallowed up all the surrounding sunlight.

On its triangular head, a pair of eyes stared directly at a huge creature approaching from afar, and at the two humans on its back, their breath fresh and delicious.

The snake's tongue, gleaming coldly, rapidly scanned the air for signals. Even though its prey was still a hundred meters away, it sprang forward, transforming into a shadow in the light, and shot towards the human creature.

Bai Mo wore a sound-detecting earring. He heard a faint whooshing sound approaching, but his eyes couldn't detect anything.

The Dabie Mountains are also known as the Mountains of a Hundred Beasts, and are mostly inhabited by solitary demons and warriors. All sorts of warriors.

Therefore, Bai Mo did not relax his vigilance at all. Out of caution, he quietly set up a circular spatial barrier around Feng Ling.

Sure enough, not long after the spatial barrier was formed, a huge and sharp force struck it, and cracks spread throughout the space.

Bai Mo looked up and saw a black, triangular venomous snake, about the thickness of a wrist.

Those sinister, dark eyes gleamed with a greedy desire for food.

He seems to be a master of shadows; no wonder he didn't see much of it.

Bai Mo pointed a finger, and a streak of light flashed across the venomous snake, slicing it in two before a faint tremor resounded.

Lingling glanced at the poisonous snake on the ground and immediately recognized what it was.

"The Shadow Serpent possesses powerful poison and shadow-based abilities, and is at the Warrior level. If an ordinary hunter is targeted by it, they are doomed."

"Hmm." Bai Mo nodded. "Which way should we go next?"

Lingling took out the pointing device, looked at it, then glanced left and right before pointing in a direction and saying:

"If we go east, about two thousand meters away, there's another valley, and in that valley lives a herd of Spirit Heart Deer."

Are there any demons on the road?

"There's a Golden Ape tribe that lives on a mountain range in that direction. We need to be careful, but luckily it's not a warrior tribe. We're passing through their border, so we shouldn't encounter their leader," Lingling told Bai Mo about the situation on the way.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo nodded slightly and continued eastward.

The journey was not smooth. Even though the wind spirit was fast, some demons were faster than it, and some demons had strong senses and had been waiting for a long time before they even got close.

"Quack quack!!!"

A piercing scream came from overhead. Bai Mo glanced at a gray, owl-like creature in the sky.

It has four limbs and wings, three claws, and its wingspan is as big as a bus. Its gray feathers look like blades.

This four-winged eagle had been following them for some time and they hadn't been shaken off.

Whenever they encounter a demonic attack, the eagle's sharp gray feathers will fall with it.

Moreover, Bai Mo discovered that sometimes the places they were about to pass through might not have any demons. Or the demons might have difficulty spotting them, but the annoying four-winged eagle would let out an unpleasant cry.

A reminder to those demons.
