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

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

A complaint came from the mouth of a hunter.

"It should be soon, no rush," Lingling said.

"Of course you're not in a hurry, little girl. You're being protected perfectly well. It's our brothers who are risking their lives for us. My brother's still unconscious!"

Upon hearing this, Lingling frowned. Bai Mo and the others, who were walking at a steady pace, also turned their gazes towards her. Ding Yumin's eyes flickered with light, her expression thoughtful. She looked up and met Leng Qing's eyes.

"Liu Long, this is a deal we made with Lingling and the others; it's a task we have to complete."

Wu Xuan spoke up, also somewhat puzzled as to why his teammate was suddenly so angry.

However, considering his relationship with the member who was poisoned and fell into a coma, Wu Xuan felt that it was not incomprehensible.

Then he softened his tone and said, "Liu Ming's injuries have been temporarily stopped. Once we return, we can find a healing mage to heal him."

"Hmm," Liu Long responded listlessly, and then fell silent.

But before they had gone more than a few hundred meters, he started rambling again: "I've been taking care of you these past few days, you haven't had to do anything, so of course you can talk like that without knowing the pain."

"Damn it, Old Liu, how dare you talk to the Second Regiment like that!"

A man with a leopard-like head slapped Liu Long hard on the shoulder, the sound as loud as a firecracker exploding.

"What's wrong with saying a few words? Everyone's been talking about those two behind their backs. They clearly want Wen Duo's soul seed, but they dragged us along!"

Liu Long shrugged and shouted loudly.

As soon as he uttered those words, everyone stopped and looked at him, with Wen Du and Wu Xuan looking particularly displeased.

"Damn it! Why didn't you want to come? The militia asked for our opinion before we set off! Apologize to me!!"

Another burly man shouted.

"Hmph! I didn't say anything wrong!"

"You!" The man's eyes snapped open, and flames immediately erupted from his hand.

Seeing that the man made a move, Liu Long did not dare to show weakness, and his eyes actually lit up with a grayish-white light.

"stop!!"

"What are you doing!"

Wu Xuanwen immediately shouted, and as he tried to stop them, his hand lit up with light, as if he wanted to use magic to separate the two.

Bai Mo's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously sensed something was wrong. Wen Du might be impulsive due to his carefree nature, but how could Wu Xuan, as the commander of the hunter group, be like this?

"Lingyi - Soothe!"

Just then, Ding Yumin cast a mind spell, and under the calming effect, the originally agitated crowd immediately calmed down, and the magic in their hands subconsciously stopped.

"What's going on!?"

Once they calmed down, Liu Long and his companions, who had been at odds with each other, immediately realized something was wrong and became somewhat panicked.

"Something's strange." Wu Xuan and Wen Du frowned as well; they had also been affected. Wu Xuan's gaze shifted and landed on Ding Yumin.

"Miss Ding, are there any mind-based demons around?"

No, I'm sure.

Ding Yumin shook her head, her expression somewhat grave. "You must have been affected by something, causing your emotions to fluctuate and making you irritable and easily angered."

"Impact? Then how come you're all alright!" Wang Long suddenly spoke up, his tone sharp, just like Liu Long's earlier.

Ding Yumin glanced at him, and he immediately calmed down and apologized sheepishly.

"I'm a psychoanalyst, and this influence might vary from person to person, so I'm not entirely sure. However, your emotional shifts are definitely not the result of psychoanalysis."

"No." Wu Xuan frowned, his mind racing as he pondered, only to find himself growing increasingly agitated. But he knew the cause of this change and forced himself to suppress it.

"It's poison~"

Suddenly, Lingling's muffled voice came from behind. Everyone looked at her and saw that Lingling's face was flushed and her forehead was covered in sweat, as if she was very hot.

"It's poison, fire poison, it's so hot! And... there's something wrong with those cacti!"

Lingling seemed to be having difficulty breathing and didn't want to speak. Seeing this, Bai Mo immediately took out the antidote and fed it to her.

After taking the medicine, Lingling's symptoms seemed to be relieved, and her tone of voice became slightly clearer.

"We may all be suffering from 'fire poisoning,' which is causing emotional turmoil, but some people are experiencing more pronounced symptoms. I just felt a bit hot and restless, which was quite unbearable. Considering your reactions, this must be the case."

"poison?!"

Upon hearing Lingling's words, everyone's eyes narrowed, and they all took out antidotes and swallowed them.

Bai Mo placed his hand on Lingling's forehead to measure her temperature.

But after sensing that his body temperature was gradually returning to normal, he felt a little relieved and analyzed:

"It seems that this fire poison is not the kind that is fatal; it can only agitate emotions, and the antidote can resolve it."

"Yes, we need to hurry and get out of here." Leng Qing said at this moment, "We haven't encountered anything else along the way except these cacti, so this poison was most likely spread by the cacti."

"Now that you mention it, the sandstorms here are indeed different from other places; they're slightly reddish, but it's hard to notice unless you look closely."

Bai Mo focused his gaze on the ever-blowing sandstorms in the desert.

"Now that we know where the poison is coming from, let's use the wind to blow it away and get out of here faster."

Wu Xuan and the others all nodded, not wanting to stay here any longer.

A group of people used magic to move, covering a thousand meters in an instant, and after penetrating deep into this area, the remains of some demons came into their view.

Clearly, not only humans, but also some demons are deceived by the seemingly peaceful and sunny place, and eventually die in the struggle.

They even witnessed a sand python of warrior-level strength crash headfirst into the cactus, only to be pierced and immobilized by the chopstick-length spikes, turning into a dried-up corpse at a visible speed.

"These desert demons are truly treacherous, each one more sinister than the last," Wen Du grinned, showing considerable apprehension.

"They also have a drawback, which is that they can't move."

Bai Mo maintained the wind barrier surrounding everyone and said calmly, "If we're talking about disguise, the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Divine Tree, which currently lives in Kunyu Mountain outside Yantai, is the real expert."

However, plant-based demons are indeed mostly good at disguise.

After passing through this desert of fire-poison cacti, you can see that the once continuous sand dunes gradually flatten out and turn into the Gobi Desert.

"Looks like we're almost out of the desert," Wu Xuan remarked upon seeing this. "This journey hasn't been easy."

"Haha, our group has now explored the Taklamakan Desert," Wendu said.

"We still need to move forward. This time, the entrustment between both of us can be considered completed," Lingling said at this moment.

"Lingling, where are you going?"

"We don't know the exact location of the Pamir Plateau either. Commander Wu, would you like to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan remained silent for a long time. Their hunter group had finally come to this rarely visited area, so of course they wanted to explore it thoroughly; otherwise, they wouldn't be hunters.

His gaze swept over the team members, then he shook his head and said:

"Then we'll part ways here. The brothers are all quite curious about this place."

"it is good."

Lingling knew how attractive a rarely visited place was to a hunter, so she didn't try to stop her.

After bidding farewell to the Xuandu Hunters, Bai Mo summoned the rested Divine Dust Tiger, found the direction of the Pamir Plateau on the map, and sped off in that direction.

"Fengli said that once we cross the Taklamakan Desert, we'll see a place that looks like a heavenly gate."

Bai Mo relayed Feng Li's message, then looked around, only to find a flat, empty space with nothing else.

"If we go further, we might have to cross this desert. The desert moves every year. Maybe when the person who told Feng Li the news came here, this place was still a desert," Lingling said.

"That seems to be the case." Upon hearing this, Bai Mo couldn't help but agree.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~！

Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew from the front, its speed no slower than that of the Wind Wings.

In an instant, even the body of the Divine Dust Tiger was slapped and staggered, and Lingling lost her balance and was sent flying.

"Telekinesis!"

Bai Mo's eyes narrowed, and his thoughts transformed into a giant hand to grab Lingling and place her back on the back of the Divine Dust Tiger.

"Get down!"

With a twitch of his ears, an even louder gust of wind came. Bai Mo's expression changed, and his giant mental hand pressed him and the other two down onto the back of the Divine Dust Tiger.

"Sizzle—!!"

In that instant, a gust of wind swept by, its howling sound like the breath of a giant dragon, strong and powerful.

With its limbs on the ground, the Divine Dust Tiger was blown back a hundred meters by the strong wind, its claws scraping against the ground with a sharp crack.

Faced with such a powerful gale, Bai Mo collapsed onto the back of the Divine Dust Tiger, looking at Ding Yumin and the other two who were also lying on the ground. He even had time to let his mind wander:

Is this considered sleeping together under the same blanket? It's just that there's no blanket, so it should be considered sharing a bed.

If there were some kind of system or something, wouldn't unlocking achievements be a piece of cake?!

"Bai Mo!"

"Huh!?" Lingling's voice brought Bai Mo back to his senses.

"Let us go, the wind has stopped."

"Oh, oh."

Releasing the giant hand of his mind, Bai Mo sat up again and patted Da Ju, signaling him to continue walking in that direction.

"It seems we're heading in the right direction."

"Well, thankfully the wind wasn't continuous, otherwise we might not have even been able to get close."

Leng Qing nodded. Even Da Ju was blown back a hundred meters just now. You have to know that he is a commander and a beastman. His strength is unimaginable. Plus, he is an earth-type creature.

He must have tried to steady himself by connecting his feet to the ground when he lost his balance, but even so, he still moved backward a hundred meters in the wind.

As you continue forward, you can clearly see that the once ordinary ground has developed into a series of gullies, with a rough surface, clearly showing signs of wind erosion.

There are no nutrients here, only rough stones, and therefore no demons.

After passing through this region, the sky ahead suddenly shrank, while the earth expanded continuously in our eyes, taking over the sky.

Looking up, Bai Mo saw a patch of brown land where the uneven ground rose sharply upwards, obscuring everything beyond, like a towering wall that had been suddenly erected.

Humans standing before it appear as insignificant as ants, or perhaps not even ants, more like a speck of dust!

However, this high wall is not intact. On the right side of the wall, a faint ray of light shines through, bringing the light of the sky to the other side.

It was a canyon, like a narrow strip of sky. Through that strip, one could see higher up inside the high walls, and faintly above the canyon's ceiling, there was a line connecting to it.

"We should go check out that narrow canyon."

Upon seeing the canyon, Bai Mo's eyes immediately lit up. He pointed in that direction, signaling Shen Chenhu to proceed.

Huff h ...

As they drew closer, the gentle breeze on the wasteland turned into a gale, and the fur on the orange cat's back stood on end, forming a windbreak to hold Bai Mo and the others in place.

The towering wall in front of us became clearer, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was not vertical, but rather had an irregular slope.

However, they had no intention of climbing up; their goal was the narrow canyon.

Only when you get close can you see that the canyon is not as narrow as it looks; it is as wide as an airplane runway, more than enough to accommodate the body of the Divine Dust Tiger.

A violent and powerful airflow surged out from within, more ferocious than a flood. When the giant orange cat actually stood before it, it could hardly take a single step closer.

Puff puff puff!

The sound of a group of wind blades as sharp as swords striking the Divine Dust Tiger was heard, and instantly a wisp of fur flew up.

"Big Orange, can we come in?"

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

With a roar, the Divine Dust Tiger suppressed the howling wind. A rich, bright yellow light emanated from his body and spread in all directions as his tiger claws pressed against the ground.

Sitting on its back, Bai Mo and the other three inexplicably felt their bodies become much heavier.

Lingling, with her sharp eyes, clearly saw that a stone blown out by the strong wind in the canyon fell down immediately after passing the bright yellow area at the feet of the giant orange tree.

"It's gravity. That orange tabby is pretty clever!"

"Roar~"

The orange cat shook its head and took another step. With each step, it activated a bright yellow gravity field that firmly fixed its body in place, allowing it to withstand the strong winds without moving backward even an inch.

The heavy wind force was dealt with, but the tearing power of the gale was not so easy to withstand.

Without retreating to alleviate the damage, after only seven or eight steps, Bai Mo saw the deep wounds on the tough fur of the giant orange cat, torn open by the fierce wind.

"I'll help you."

A glint flashed in his eyes, and a layer of dark golden soul light appeared on the Divine Dust Tiger. Under the protection of the soul light, even the gale was blocked.

"Hurry up and go inside!"

Seeing that the gale was scattering the soul light at a speed visible to the naked eye, Bai Mo hurriedly urged them on.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Divine Dust Tiger blocked the wind with its soul light, so it didn't need to exert gravity and leaped into the canyon.

As soon as it entered, the soul light that had been enveloping the Divine Dust Tiger suddenly dissipated, and an extremely powerful force fell from above, causing the giant tiger's body to sink. At the same time, a heavy wind rushed in from the front.

In an instant, a phantom token appeared above everyone's heads. Leng Qing raised one hand, and on his palm was the phantom of the Gentu Xuanhuang Token.

At the same time, Bai Mo and Shen Chenhu applied gravity together to firmly fix their bodies in place.

Looking up, all you can see are turbulent air currents, and the heavy pressure is the strong wind pressure blowing down from high above.

"Let's put the big orange away. It's too big, and the area it bears the weight of is too large. It will take more effort for it to stand up," Ding Yumin said.

"Putting you away is possible, but I'm not sure I can keep you pinned down." Bai Mo shook his head, then turned his gaze forward, patted the Divine Dust Tiger's back, and gestured for it to move forward. (End of Chapter)
