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

"Bai Mo, if you say another word, you're finished!!"

As Bai Hanxing ran, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Damn it, you're trying to apply the same old tricks the old man used on me to this person."

And talking in one's sleep—is that something you can talk about?!

"So his sleep talking has this use after all." Gu Changying nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side, Bai Hanxing's face turned pale. She glared at Bai Mo fiercely and secretly resolved to work harder in meditation in the future.

What does sleeping, something only ordinary people do, have to do with him, a super-level mage?

"Kiss kiss kiss!!!"

"Da da da da da~~~~~"

A series of sounds came from behind them, as the purple-backed giant crab summoned more water demons to chase and kill them.

They seem to have a special relationship or information transmission technique; not only are those behind chasing them, but those in front are also gathering together, creating a scene resembling a road blockage.

"Damn it, I'll fucking kill these scumbags!"

Gu Changying cursed loudly. Although she looked aloof, she had short legs and usually walked with incredible speed. Now she had to run around in circles, which she found increasingly frustrating.

"Sister-in-law, keep running, I'll teleport you there." Bai Mo was unwilling to take the risk. If Gu Changying used a spell, these guys would certainly be wiped out, but there was no guarantee that the demons in the entire swamp wouldn't become agitated as a result.

Moreover, they were not far from the other side.

As they ran, silver images flashed. The group was composed of high-level mages, whose physical abilities were comparable to those of slave-level demons, not to mention their speed.

In the blink of an eye, it was about to crash into the water monster blocking the way. Its sharp carapace and pincers were like heavy hammers and spears; a collision with it would definitely not be pleasant.

Gu Changying and the others were prepared for the possibility that the white ink drawing would fail, after all, it was not an easy task to draw constellations during strenuous exercise.

But they had clearly underestimated Bai Mo. Just as everyone was about to crash into the shells, a silver portal suddenly appeared in front of them.

Driven by inertia, they rushed into it, and to their surprise, they found themselves in another body of water, with very few water monsters around.

"Well done, it's a real shame you're just a student," Gu Changying said. Even some military mages couldn't remain so calm in the face of danger.

"He's a menace. If you let him join the army, he might end up in a military court," Bai Hanxing said bluntly.

"We're almost ashore!" Ding Yumin whispered, following beside Bai Mo. "There's something up there."

"I can feel it!" Gu Changying narrowed her eyes. As soon as she left the water, the water droplets that had fallen from her body began to glow. They seemed to combine in a regular pattern to form a picture.

"rise!"

As she finished speaking, the painting emitted a blue light, which struck the ground, but an explosion was heard not far away.

Suddenly, a large patch of bushes just ten meters away from the group crumbled, and a column of azure water shot up from the ground, leaping more than ten meters high and covering an area of ​​thirty meters, like a tower that suddenly burst from the ground.

Along with the jet of water, a feline the size of a heavy motorcycle was also propelled into the air.

Upon closer inspection, one can see smooth, glossy fur with purple electric patterns, well-proportioned limbs, a tail tucked under its body, and its entire body twisted as if in great fear.

"Dark Thunder Cat."

Gu Changying muttered, "Looks like there's a mistake. It wants to eat fish, not us."

"You haven't even equipped a single water-type spirit seed, so you probably can't kill it," Bai Hanxing said.

"Never mind him, let's go." Gu Changying pouted and muttered to herself, "It's all because someone's lightning element hasn't broken through yet. All the effort has been spent on him. Being my deputy, a super-level one element is useless."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo glanced at Bai Hanxing and said, "Hanxing, if you're short of money, you can come to me. Although I don't have much money either, it'll still work."

"Get out of here, your little bit isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap." A breeze swirled around Bai Hanxing's feet, carrying away the moisture, and then said, "If you get lucky and get some high-level bird beast soul, you can keep it."

Bai Mo nodded slightly. It was his bird; it seemed to need an upgrade.

"I recently bought a secret scroll, which claims that the five-pointed thunder peak in the Andes Mountains may contain thunder veins."

Bai Mo's lips moved, and a whispered message reached Bai Hanxing's ears. Upon hearing this, Bai Hanxing's eyes narrowed, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Gu Changying seemed to realize that the two were whispering, but she didn't say anything.

As you continue forward, you can see more trees, and the surrounding plants gradually change from green that reflects purple light to purple or purplish-black.

"Ahead lies a vast expanse of Purple Lightning Forest, filled with purple lightning trees. Some of these trees have been forged by lightning for a long time and have become demons. Be extra careful."

Sikong Wen looked at the lush, purple-cloud-like forest in the distance and said to the crowd:

"Seeing Zi Ting Sen means we are not far from the center of the Thunder Domain. Zi Ting Sen has the function of gathering thunder elements, so there are many powerful demons inside."

"Understood." Bai Mo and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.

The so-called Purple Lightning Tree doesn't look much different from an ordinary pine tree, except that it is entirely purplish-black. The dense pine needles on its branches are a crystal-clear purple, like lightning rods formed from lightning. Strands of electricity dance on the needles, making it quite extraordinary.

These trees are about ten meters tall, scattered across the fields in a pleasing, uneven manner, and their branches are thinner than those of other trees of similar height.

Everywhere they looked was bathed in purple light. As soon as they entered the forest, they saw four or five purple lightning trees around them begin to tremble.

Those terrifying lightning rods shot towards them in large swathes, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, some near and some far, coming from all directions.

The lightning rod pierced through the ordinary purple lightning tree blocking its path, and in an instant, countless bolts of lightning erupted, turning it into dust.

"Why are there so many Purple Lightning Tree Demons?"

Bai Hanxing's expression changed. He thought that there wouldn't be many Purple Lightning Trees that could turn into demons in such a large forest, but he didn't expect to see four or five Purple Lightning Trees attacking them as soon as he entered.

"I don't know either. Maybe we were just unlucky. The probability of the Purple Lightning Tree turning into a demon is not high."

As Sikong Wen spoke, his hands moved swiftly, and a majestic mountain screen rose up instantly, blocking the lightning rod in front of him.

Bai Mo also summoned several rock barriers to block the highly penetrating lightning needles, while Gu Changying blocked the attacks coming from her side.

"Sonic Kill!"

Gu Changying was not one to suffer losses. After setting up her defenses, she unleashed a sonic string from her hand, slashing like a knife at the purple lightning trees that were attacking them. With a few loud explosions, the trees were reduced to fragments.

The group continued onward, and sure enough, there were no longer as many purple lightning tree spirits as before.

Having dodged several attacks, Bai Mo roughly understood the attack range of the Purple Lightning Tree, which was about fifty meters, with a strength of around the Warrior General level, and some extremely powerful ones that surpassed the Warrior General level.

"These Purple Lightning Tree Spirits look no different from ordinary Purple Lightning Trees. Before they launch an attack, it's difficult for us to detect them. Even Yu Mian's mental abilities can't sense them. Is there no way to avoid them?"

Bai Mo looked at Sikong Wen and said that some of the Purple Lightning Trees were very shady, and they would only attack when people walked up to them.

Sometimes, when the distance is too close, the group doesn't always have time to draw the spell, and often has to use magical tools to defend themselves.

Some cunning demons will ambush the Purple Lightning Tree and attack their prey together.

"I don't have any good solutions either. The reason why the Purple Lightning Forest is so dangerous is that these sentient Purple Lightning Trees are indistinguishable from ordinary Purple Lightning Trees. Add to that the demons hiding in the shadows, and it becomes even more difficult to deal with them," Sikong asked.

"There aren't many commander-level demons here, so we'll just have to be careful when we explore," Gu Changying sighed and continued forward.

"The road ahead is a bit difficult," Ding Yumin suddenly said.

Before them lay a flat plain, seemingly no different from anything else, but Bai Moyinxian's probe caught her slightly off guard.

"There is a horizontal river valley ahead, about 600 meters wide, but the reason for the difference in elevation between the two banks is not visible."

"There's something else down there." Gu Changying narrowed her eyes slightly; she could hear an extremely faint heartbeat.

"My attempts to soothe it are useless; at least it's a commander," Ding Yumin said at this moment.

"Our family records indicate that there's a river valley running north to south through the Purple Thunder Forest, where many demons reside," Sikong Wen said at this moment.

"It seems that a powerful creature dwells here. I wonder if it's part of a pack or a solitary demon."

"Since we can't get around it, let's fight our way through," Bai Hanxing said.

The group moved forward cautiously, preparing their magic as they went.

Logically speaking, with Bai Mo, Bai Hanxing, and Gu Changying, three high-level wind mages in the team, flying over there shouldn't be any problem at all.

However, many demons, though not feathered demons, are still wary of the airspace, especially in places like this, near the center of the Thunder Domain, where commander-level demons roam.

Flying in the air, they are targets for them; it's common for them to be shot down together.

Moreover, there might be a monarch hiding near the center of the Thunder Domain. On the other hand, there are also Feathered Demons in the Purple Thunder Forest, which Bai Mo and his group had encountered before.

As you get closer, you can see that there is a very steep riverbank ahead, and on the other side of the riverbank is a riverbank that is much lower.

That's why when they stood in the same spot, the view in front of them was still flat.

Looking down, a giant python, as thick as a highway, lay coiled on the dried-up riverbed.

Located in the very center of the river, it sits there like a small mountain, with electric light flowing across its amethyst-like scales, making it appear as if it is swimming. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the electric light outlines wing-like marks on both sides of its massive, wall-like body.

As if sensing someone approaching, the eyes on the head with the single horn opened, large enough to fit all five of them inside.

"Hiss!"

Dozens of small snakes, also a bright purple, slithered around it. Hearing the python's hiss, they immediately began to slither towards them.

"Oh no, it's the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent, the Grand Commander!" Sikong Wen spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, "Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents are usually found in pairs. There's one here, so there must be another nearby! But where is it?!"

"From the heavens!"

Gu Changying opened his eyes and instantly locked onto a crimson lightning serpent swooping down from the rolling thunderclouds above the sky. Its size was the same as the crimson lightning serpent in the valley, the only difference being that it had a pair of wings on its back, which looked to be made entirely of pure electric light, and the sound of rolling thunder could be heard when it flapped.

"Hanxing and I will deal with the two leaders; you guys take care of the smaller snakes!"

As Gu Changying spoke, her pupils instantly turned golden, and countless grains of sand rose up, rapidly combining in the air to form a seal the size of a mountain.

"Heavenly Sand - Mountain-Turning Seal!"

The golden seal was no less large than the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent, about the size of a stadium. It looked incredibly heavy, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. It cast a large shadow and collided violently with the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent, which struck down from the sky like a pillar of lightning.

Before Bai Mo and the others, even more small snakes crawled out from every corner, forming a snake tide that pounced on them.

At a rough glance, there were about five hundred of them, each as thick as a car, covering the six-hundred-meter stretch of the river. The crimson feathered serpent that had been coiled up stood up, its tongue flicking out, and a spear of lightning shot out.

"Azure Thunder Tiger!"

A moon-white contract array descended, and a mighty, towering tiger strode out, its entire body indigo, with purple lightning patterns swirling around its forehead. Facing the oncoming lightning spears, the Azure Thunder Tiger raised its hand and slapped them away, though much of the fur on its own hand was scorched in the process.

"Qing Lei, clear the way!"

Bai Hanxing issued an order: Qing Leihu, though only a minor commander, was more than capable of handling five hundred small Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents.

"You don't need to intervene. My contracted beast hasn't been active for a long time," Bai Hanxing said, turning her head to Bai Mo and the others.

"Qing Lei alone can't stop so many War General-level Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents." Bai Mo said, drawing out his silver hairpin spear. With a sweep of the spear, a spatial blade cut through the air, slicing a War General-level Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent that was climbing up from the side in half.

"Unfortunately, one of my summoned beasts is asleep, and the other is healing."

"I can use my mind to make these general-level Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents gather in front of the Azure Thunder Tiger as much as possible." Ding Yumin looked at the Azure Thunder Tiger, which had already rushed into the swarm of serpents and whose limbs were covered in purple lightning, and then stopped talking.

The Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents behind them let out another tearing cry, and those general-level Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents bypassed the Azure Thunder Tigers and charged towards them. The Azure Thunder Tiger was not to be outdone, roaring as it pounced directly at the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpents.

A hint of disdain flashed in the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent's eyes. It swung its long tail and slammed into the oncoming Azure Thunder Tiger. The immense force overwhelmed the Azure Thunder Tiger and sent it flying.

Bai Mo glanced at the sky. Gu Changying's Mountain-Turning Seal had been defeated by the Crimson Thunder Feathered Serpent, but the serpent itself was also in bad shape, with many of its scales broken. (End of Chapter)
