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

Chapter 297 Tacit Cooperation

"puff!"

With a soft sound, the hunter leader, Wen Du, leaped into the lava.

Bai Mo was startled, but then immediately understood that he was testing the information of this lava field.

Then he was surrounded by flames, and almost in the blink of an eye, he sank into the lava, leaving only his silly head sticking out.

It should be noted that Wendu is at least 1.9 meters tall, making him the tallest person present, which gives a sense of the depth of this lava beach.

Moreover, this is still the edge area. Who knows if the depth of the magma will increase further inward?

Even fire mages are only more resistant to high temperatures, not immune to them. This lava beach, stretching two or three kilometers, is not something that can be traversed in a short time.

If you stay inside for too long, even a creature as hot as Wendu would probably melt from the intense heat.

"Damn it, it's burning hot!" In less than two seconds, Wen Du burst out of the lava, flames still swirling around him.

"A high-level fire mage can walk 500 meters without any problem; they can carry people."

"We can't bring them. We still need to be wary of the potential dangers in the magma." Wu Xuan shook his head, turned his gaze to the Wang brothers, and after thinking for a moment, asked:

"You two just crossed here using the Wings of Wind?"

"Yes, I used the Wings of Wind to take Long'er there," Wang Suo said.

"Long'er?" Bai Mo murmured to himself, then realized it was the "Long" in "Longzhong" (a respectful form of address). But this nickname was quite something. Just then, Wu Xuan turned to ask him.

"I wonder if Brother Bai's Divine Dust Tiger can withstand the high temperature of this lava and carry us there."

"No." Bai Mo shook his head, and before he could ask any questions, he said, "I'll use teleportation to take you there."

"Instant teleportation? With Brother Bai's cultivation level, it's possible to transport people, but the more people you transport, the more mana it consumes, and the shorter the distance becomes."

"Don't worry, it's fine. My teleportation is different from that of ordinary space mages."

"An ordinary space mage." Wu Xuan's expression was slightly strange; he was also a space mage.

Thinking back, when the two met two years ago, they were both at the mid-level of the Space System. But now, more than two years later, he is still at the mid-level of the Space System, while Bai Mo has reached the high-level, directly leaping over a major realm.

Furthermore, Wu Xuan has tried to imitate Bai Mo's application of spatial magic countless times over the past two years, but has only managed to grasp the essence of it in three words: he can't do it.

So he nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Bai."

"You're welcome."

Bai Mo didn't waste any time. As he spoke, silver threads flew out from his hand, forming a magnificent and beautiful constellation.

A dazzling burst of starlight flashed before everyone's eyes, and the spatial gate appeared. Wu Xuan hadn't expected Bai Mo to move so quickly; he hadn't even had time to reorganize the formation.

You see, those two protrusions weren't very wide, so he quickly shouted:

"Wait, Brother Bai..."

The silver spatial portal emitted a magnificent and mysterious light, instantly enveloping everyone. Before Wu Xuan could finish speaking, everyone had already left the spot.

The air rippled slightly, and on a patch of ground about half the size of a classroom, eight hundred meters away, the members of the Xuandu Hunters appeared, followed by Bai Mo and his three companions.

"I!"

As soon as Wu Xuan appeared, he continued speaking, his eyes sweeping over the scene unconsciously, but he suddenly stopped.

The Xuandu Hunters were neatly arranged on the ground, which was less than half the size of a classroom. Their positions were completely different from where they had been standing earlier, and they were now arranged in a square formation.

"this"

"Hold on tight and hold on, we're starting." Bai Mo chuckled softly, and the spatial portal opened again.

Silver rays of light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared on the second patch of ground surrounded by lava. This patch was smaller, so after landing, Wu Xuan found that their formation had become more compact.

Some even appeared directly in their teammates' arms, like him, which was a perfect example of a man on top of a man, even though there was still some space around Mingmo.

However, Wu Xuan remained silent this time, because less than two seconds later, the third teleportation enveloped him.

Carrying multiple people at once not only consumes magical energy, but the people being carried also suffer because they have to endure greater spatial turbulence and constant jolting.

As soon as they landed on the mountainside on the opposite bank, every single one of the many mages in the Xuandu Hunters Group felt dizzy and nauseous. Keep in mind, these were all high-level mages.

"Phew, finally I can speak fluently." Wu Xuan let out a long breath, with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"Hey Bai, your driving skills are terrible. Look how dizzy my brothers are," Wen Du teased. He was a super-level expert and didn't get dizzy.

You'll get used to it.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale. Wang Long said, "The Firewing Serpent is on the other side of the mountain range. Once we get what we need, we can go down from there."

"good!"

That makes sense.

"Agreed."

Bai Mo shrugged. After passing the kilometer-long lava beach, he was actually not far from where the Firewing Serpent was. The so-called other side of the mountain was just a few steps away.

A saddle is generally a flat area between two mountains. Flame Mountain is a continuous mountain range, and the Firewing Serpent dwells in the saddle between these two peaks.

Hiding behind the rocky peak, the group could see a roughly rectangular area, about the size of a playground, leading to a higher mountain peak.

In the center of this flat terrain, there are irregular cracks that resemble tree branches, extending straight from both sides into the middle and colliding.

Magma seeped out from beneath the ground along the crack, illuminating the branching fissures and forming two lava streams that converged at the center into a deep pool of magma.

The crack was anything but narrow; even the narrowest branch was as wide as a two-lane road. And the central pool of golden-red lava was large enough to accommodate a ship.

"There are fifteen!"

Lingling rested her little head on Bai Mo's shoulder and observed the deep pool in the southern sky of the lava river basin without blinking, finally counting the number of fire wing snakes.

A full fifteen fire-winged serpents! Fifteen commander-level demons!

Five major commanders and ten minor commanders. Moreover, in this Flaming Mountain, the Firewing Serpent, as a fire-attribute demon, also has a bonus!

Most importantly, fire-attribute demons also reduce the damage of fire mages' magic.

These fire winged serpents dwell directly in the scalding golden-red lava, and the temperature of Wu Xuan's fire seed might not be able to harm them!

The fifteen members of the Xuandu Hunters' Group all looked tense. Upon hearing this, they all turned to Bai Mo and his group of four, asking, "Brother Bai, how many can you handle?"

"I can handle three," Bai Mo said. He didn't give more than that, after all, the commander wasn't joking. These fire-winged serpents looked very fast.

However, this was enough to surprise and even delight Wen Du and the others, who all thought that he was going to risk serious injury to restrain the three commanders and buy them time.

"Good brother, I'll remember this favor. If you ever need anything, just call me and I'll do my best!" Wen Du said emphatically.

Bai Mo opened his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed. How did he end up receiving a favor for no reason? Just then, Ding Yumin said:

"I can handle one, whether it's a high-ranking commander or a low-ranking commander."

"I have a monarch-level contracted beast, so leave the five Grand Commanders to me." Leng Qing's words attracted everyone's attention. They had learned in advance that Leng Qing was an earth-type super-tier beast, but they did not expect that her summoning ability was even more powerful.

"Alright! Leave the rest to us."

Wu Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. They had asked for outside help precisely because they were afraid that the guardian beast was too powerful and they couldn't handle it. However, they did not expect that the outside help would be so powerful, directly taking on half of the demon's power.

"There's no time to lose, let's act immediately."

Silently grinning, Wen Du's surging magical energy gathered, while the others also prepared their spells.

It's not a proper competition. They won't talk about martial ethics when facing demons. It's rare that Ding Yumin's concealment magic is available. It would be a waste of their current state if they didn't launch a sneak attack to gain an advantage.

The air grew even more still, so still it felt oppressive. There was no wind, and even the light seemed to have frozen in place. The surrounding elements seemed to gather, and the temperature began to fluctuate.

The five firewing snakes in the central lava pool seemed to sense something was wrong, and one after another, they poked out their oval heads, their scarlet tongues flicking in and out, as if investigating the source of the anomaly.

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Just as the snake's tongue retracted, a sound like the chirping of cicadas resounded, and silver starlight condensed on the golden-red pool, forming a circular space.

As you can see, the moment they landed in this circular space, the bodies of the five fire winged snakes trembled in unison, their forked tongues still retracting, yet they froze in mid-air.

"The time-delay space is incredibly powerful!"

Wu Xuan was shocked by what he saw. He was also a space mage, and he knew his own situation. He had difficulty freezing even an advanced-stage warrior, let alone a Grand Commander.

And it's five at once!

Bai Mo stretched out his palm, making a downward pressing motion. His eyes seemed to contain a galaxy, with a mysterious and bright light, trapping the five commanders in place from a distance.

With his mental strength reaching level six, he became even more adept at spatial magic, easily executing techniques that were previously beyond his capabilities.

Ding Yumin's perfect coordination resulted in an incredibly powerful ripple of mental energy spreading out the instant Bai Mo made his move, which affected all the Firewing Serpents with a single breath.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Flame Witch Jiang Feng appeared beside Leng Qing. Having mastered the power of space, she had no need for the summoning of the Star Chart Contract.

As a seasoned hunter leader, Wen Du reacted swiftly. In the instant that Bai Mo and Ding Yumin controlled the magic, a magnificent and splendid crimson star palace suddenly appeared around him, even extending into the mountain range.

"Gates of Hellfire!"

With a loud chant, a solemn and majestic magic incantation was uttered, and with both hands raised, the magnificent Star Palace took flight.

A dazzling light and billowing flames revealed an ancient, desolate, and ferocious scroll of demonic fire unfolding above the circular lava pool.

"Crimson Flame Waterfall!"

As the demonic chant officially ended, a portal exuding a blazing aura of destruction suddenly appeared on the demonic fire map in the sky.

The portal opened wide, and a torrent of molten lava and flames surged forth, like a vibrant fire dragon, covering nearly a kilometer, and falling towards the fire-winged serpents below that had been lured out by the ripples of the mind and frozen in time-delayed space.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

The super-level magic had a wide coverage area, taking care of the entire saddle area. In an instant, all that could be seen was flickering and shimmering firelight.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~~~~~~~!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

An angry voice rang out, and from the ground forged from molten lava, creatures with golden-red fire wings on their backs soared into the sky, bringing with them swirling flames and spreading out a rising sea of ​​fire, which then descended upon Bai Mo Wu Xuan and the others who appeared on the mountaintop!

The rolling lava flames poured down, so dense that there was nowhere to hide. It was like a super-level version of the Heavenly Flame Funeral, another form of the Gate of Inferno!

The scalding heat was already upon you before the flames even touched you, making you feel as if you were in molten steel, with waves of burning pain emanating from your skin.

"The Earth's Dragon Vein!"

With a cold, clear shout, a dark yellow light burst forth behind Leng Qing, revealing a majestic, magnificent, and imposing star palace, which lay coiled like a sleeping, dark yellow dragon.

Starlight shone brightly, and the dragon opened its eyes, instantly transforming into a true rock dragon. Its unshakeable form blocked the way for everyone, and the overwhelming crimson flames could not advance any further before this thick rock vein.

"go!"

Leng Qing's earth-type Devouring Seed specialization defense made it easy to block the attacks brought by the numerous commanders. With a push of her hand, the earth dragon vein in the air instantly tilted forward, crashing down on the group of fire winged snakes.

"Singing~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

A mature and majestic murmur rang out as the rock veins crumbled, all of which were dodged by the fire winged serpents. Meanwhile, the graceful figure of the Flame Witch Jiang Feng had appeared before the five commander-level fire winged serpents without anyone noticing.

The monarch-level aura instantly brought the once invincible Firewing Serpent's overwhelming arrogance to a standstill.

"Hiss hiss hiss!!"

However, upon discovering that Jiang Feng was merely a sub-monarch, they cried out again, showing no fear. Yet, upon looking up, they saw a patch of brownish-red flames approaching.

The flames took the form of a simple sphere, yet were as large as a meteorite, completely engulfing the five Firewing Serpent Commanders.

"Haha, amazing!" Wen Du laughed heartily, though it was unclear who he was praising. The six wind wings behind him swirled, making him look like a raging bull, and he directly carried the five Firewing Serpent Little Commanders to a distant place.

Bai Mo moved swiftly, and Jiao Yue and Shen Chen Hu appeared simultaneously. They immediately approached a Firewing Serpent. Under Ding Yu Mian's mental influence, these Firewing Serpents became extremely irritable and had no intention of running away.

The two of them each took on one Firewing Serpent, while the remaining three were left to the Xuandu Hunters, who worked together to deal with them.

"Hiss~`!"

Without Bai Mo even needing to search, a fire winged snake, carrying the fiery magma from the ground, transformed into a flaming javelin and charged straight towards him.

Behind him were several members of the Xuandu Hunters Group, so Bai Mo didn't prepare to dodge. This impact, which felt like hellfire, was not so easy to withstand.
