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

Chapter 491 Slay Them

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan had only been in Pancheng for a short time.

They originally planned to find a group of monks who wanted to enter the Tianshan Mountains, hitch a ride, and go up the Tianshan Mountains together.

After all, Tianshan is no ordinary place. It is an ancient mountain known as the Holy Mountain, and it is a renowned and fierce place in both the ancient records of the Nine Provinces and the ancient books of the West.

Therefore, it would be difficult for the two of them to move freely in the Tianshan Mountains.

So when Mo Fan received the news that Bai Molingling had arrived, he immediately brought Zhao Manyan over.

"Lingling, how are we going to proceed this time?" Mo Fan didn't dwell on the issue of whether or not to drink, but asked impatiently.

"Let's form a group." Lingling took a small sip of tea, glanced at him, and asked疑惑地:

"The Tianshan Mountains are too treacherous; many places cannot be traversed alone. The more people, the better. I remember Mu Ningxue was with you; where is she?"

"Oh, when we arrived, we suddenly noticed that the National Government seal was lit up; she went to find someone."

The National Championship Chapter is a reward that Bai Mo and others received as champions of the National Championship. Within a certain range, they will sense each other, making it a pretty good positioning device.

Almost as soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, the group of four walked straight into the tavern and stood near Bai Mo's table.

Leading the group was Mu Ningxue, whose striking silver hair was followed by Ai Jiangtu, whose demeanor had become much more profound and dignified.

Then came Nan Jue, who remained calm and composed, followed by Jiang Yu, the cat lover, and Guan Yu, who didn't stand out much.

Although the relationship wasn't very deep, Bai Mo still felt a sense of joy at seeing the last three people after a long separation.

"Old Ai, what brings you guys here too?"

Before Bai Mo could even ask, Zhao Manyan said with some surprise.

"Of course, it's to improve our strength. We still have to come and see such a rare event as the Tianshan Grand Canyon," Nan Jue replied matter-of-factly.

"We're the same." Jiang Yu nodded, gesturing to himself and Guan Yu.

"Don't you need to handle the situation in Leizhou?" Bai Mo asked Ai Jiangtu curiously.

"No need. I've been transferred here. This time, I'm here to train and improve my strength, and also to take them to explore the situation in Tianshan."

Ai Jiangtu shook his head, while Bai Mo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

After all, in the original story, Ai Jiangtu only asked for leave to go to Tianshan to form a team for exploration and training.

But upon closer reflection, he could understand.

If Ai Jiangtu was also commanding the battle in Leizhou during that period in the original story, then he probably wouldn't have been able to hold it.

Naturally, he would want to improve his strength if he was not strong enough.

The sudden appearance of the Tianshan Grand Canyon opened up a relatively easy route to the Tianshan snowfield.

This is a great opportunity that shouldn't be missed.

After all, although the Tianshan Mountains are a dangerous place, they are also a famous treasure trove.

Perhaps with a bit of luck, you'll acquire a treasure that could change your life forever.

This time, although Bai Mo changed the situation in Leizhou, Ai Jiangtu, who experienced the whole process, still couldn't help but feel his own inadequacy.

As for the relocation, it may also be for the purpose of protecting talent.

In fact, Bai Mo's conjecture was basically in line with the facts.

Ai Jiangtu explained for a moment, then continued:

"If you want to go to Tianshan, we can team up. I've joined a hunter group."

"What hunter group?" Lingling asked.

"The Phoenix Mercenary Group." Ai Jiangtu glanced at Lingling and said directly without hiding anything.

To his surprise, Lingling actually knew the details of this mercenary group.

All I heard her say was, "That Kyushu mercenary organization from Africa?"

There are many small countries in Africa that lack the strength to fight against evil forces and are even hampered by the national will of some nearby major powers.

Therefore, a mercenary organization composed entirely of Kyushu people appeared on that land.

They are the Phoenix Mercenary Group, which specializes in solving problems for various African countries.

The reward is simple: some local magical resources.

Some of the precious earth-based resources in Kyushu were obtained through trade with them.

As for why the Phoenix Mercenary Group's rewards would appear directly in Kyushu, that's a question that those who know, know.

When Lingling asked this question, the others were still confused, but Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue understood that she knew.

They all nodded in agreement.

Bai Mo had also heard of this organization, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Looks like you're doing pretty well now, you can even command them."

If things had proceeded according to the original timeline, Ai Jiangtu, who had no significant achievements, would likely not have been able to join the Phoenix Mercenary Group in his personal capacity if he had arrived at Tianshan at this time.

After all, this organization actually has intricate connections with the Kyushu Army Mages.

"They just happened to be here too," Ai Jiangtu said with a smile.

The group then caught up and learned about each other's purpose in coming to Tianshan.

They were all curious when they learned that Bai Mo had come for an ancient relic.

"Actually, we only relied on a map to determine that the location is above the snow layer of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is very likely to be in the Tianshan Scar, but the exact location is hard to say. However, we speculate that it should be in the area of ​​the Sishi Quartz."

Bai Mo told the others that this was his and Lingling's speculation.

After all, such an important thing as the Origin Stone was recorded, so it's probably not wrong for the ruins to be there.

·······

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, a group of dark-skinned mercenaries stood there, their posture upright.

The snow camouflage, specially made for the Tianshan environment, is all white, with the only common feature being the mythical bird pattern on their arms, ready to take flight.

Unlike mercenary groups composed of casual hunters, their ranks were well-organized and disciplined, resembling a regular army rather than mercenaries.

"Captain Fenghuang, I've long admired the Phoenix Mercenary Group. Would you be interested in joining us on this trip up the mountain? It should be much easier if our two hunter groups work together."

The leader of the Melon mercenary group, which was also somewhat famous in Asia, came over and spoke to the burly, dark-faced man with a steel beard and angry eyes.

"No, we're waiting for someone."

The dark-faced man shook his head in a deep, muffled voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, another authoritative voice rang out.

"The leader of the Fenghuang Guild really shouldn't be associating with such a ragtag mercenary group. How about we team up?"

Dark-faced Arsen glanced at the Hunter King directly, but still didn't give him any face and shook his head.

Then he glanced at Ai Jiangtu and his group who were walking over.

"No need, the person I'm waiting for has arrived."

King Arsen's face stiffened. He suppressed his anger and looked at the group of people walking towards him.

He was an internationally renowned hunter, yet this mercenary leader didn't take him seriously at all.

He wanted to see who had such a big influence.

His gaze swept over the area, and the Hunter King Arsen was immediately taken aback.

My first impression was that these people were so young; where did these privileged kids come from, going to their deaths in the Tianshan Mountains?

My second impression was that it looked familiar.

My third impression is that this isn't the previous National Team champion? Especially the one walking in the very center, who is Bai Mo, who has become quite famous internationally in recent years.

Then, King Arsen's expression darkened; he was somewhat worried.

His purpose this time was to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and in his opinion, since Bai Mo had come to Tianshan, he must have the same purpose.

After all, putting oneself in another's shoes is something people of their level of cultivation should be able to do.

Of all the treasures on the Tianshan Mountains, only the Tianshan Snow Lotus is worthy of my attention.

Thinking of this, Hunter King Arsen's expression changed several times. In the end, he abandoned the plan to recruit some cannon fodder hunters and said to his hunter group:

"We're leaving, we're not hiring anymore!"

He wanted to reach the Scar of Tianshan before Bai Mo and the others!

The faster he gets, the more say he'll have. The Tianshan Snow Lotus can only be his; at the very least, he should get the lion's share.

As the Asen mercenary group hurriedly set off, a person further away suddenly turned pale.

"Let's go!" Xing Rong, the representative of the Mu family's sorcerers, said with a gloomy face, and took the lead in heading towards Pancheng.

"Why is that?" asked an elder surnamed Mu, puzzled.

"Look who's there! If we go up there now, we're asking for death!" Xing Rong pointed to where Bai Mo was.

Elder Mu looked over and immediately gasped.

"How come he's here too? You're right, we'd better leave this place of trouble!"

As a high-ranking member of the Mu family, he naturally knew about the grudges and affections between his family and Bai Mo.

Therefore, he had no doubt that if they encountered Bai Mo and his group in the lawless land of Tianshan, they would be wiped out!

Elder Mu knew he couldn't defeat Bai Mo.

Therefore, he immediately agreed with Xing Rong's words.

Although the other members were puzzled, they didn't want to come to such a dangerous place in the first place, so they were naturally happy to leave them.

Bai Mo was unaware that he had only shown his face here once, yet he had already driven away two hunter groups.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After getting acquainted with the Phoenix Hunters, Feng Huang immediately nodded to Ai Jiangtu and Bai Mo, and then said:

"Our main task this time is to cooperate with General Ai. Our mercenary group has sent nine teams this time, you..."

His gaze lingered on Lingling for a moment before he continued, "You'll be the tenth team. You're free to move around as you please."

"no problem."

Except for Lingling, who had no cultivation, the other nine people, including Bai Mo, were basically all at the Super Rank.

It is still necessary to form a separate team.

This is also why Fenghuang is not very worried about them.

Although Feng Huang was relieved, the other members of the Phoenix Mercenary Group were not so sure.

Feng Huang knew about Ai Jiangtu and his group, but the team members did not.

Therefore, along the way, Ai Jiangtu and his group endured the somewhat suspicious gazes of these people, but were directly protected in the very center by the nine teams.

This scene left Bai Mo and the others both amused and exasperated.

The appearance of the Tianshan Grand Canyon has attracted many mages to come and explore.

Bai Mo and his group were among the first to set off.

The Great Rift Valley is not located in the grassland area, and it is even some distance away from Pancheng.

After navigating several low-altitude mountain ranges, the group entered the desert region before finally arriving at the entrance to the Tianshan Grand Canyon.

There were some corpses and fleeing hunters at the entrance. A scout mage from the mercenary group immediately went to inquire and returned to report:

"Not long ago, a massive rockfall in the Great Rift Valley destroyed a team that had entered earlier."

"The mudslides are caused by the continuous melting of frost and snow in the frost layer, which turns some sections of the Great Rift Valley into a rushing river valley. The torrents in the valley wash over the desert layer, carrying soil, sand, and rocks, which then become the terrible mudslides."

"So we must take advantage of the relatively low temperatures and insufficient sunlight these days and travel as quickly as possible. After a while, the sun will be blazing, the temperature will rise, and we will soon face another landslide," said one of the advisors, a mage, in the group.

Upon hearing this, Lingling, who was perched on the back of the giant orange cat, looked up, nodded, and expressed her approval of the mercenary group's intelligence capabilities.

Hong Shiliu was difficult to resist, and they had better go to a higher level before sunrise.

Entering the Great Rift Valley, long, winding paths crisscross, making walking through them feel like navigating a giant maze.

Bai Mo remembered that this rift valley was full of spiders, so he never stopped using sonic probes along the way.

Perfect pitch allows him to achieve an effect similar to 3D imaging when he is highly focused.

So, to the other members of the mercenary group, the man who seemed to be a key figure in the tenth team suddenly appeared to be lost in thought in this dangerous place.

Zhang Yue knew Bai Mo and was aware of his deeds; her younger sister even got into Mingzhu Academy because of him.

But seeing this top-ranked young man in Kyushu still so arrogant in such a dangerous place, Zhang Yue couldn't help but shake her head, feeling that seeing him in person was better than hearing about him.

Rumors are just rumors, after all, but she wasn't going to tell her sister anything anyway. It was better for her to have a dream.

In Zhang Yue's view, reaching the super level before the age of thirty is a dream.

"careful!!"

Just then, Bai Mo's voice suddenly rang out, reaching the ears of everyone in the team.

As the sound waves spread, wisps of flame could be seen emerging. The sound waves materialized into flame ripples that struck the surrounding area, immediately outlining the bodies on the cliff face.

Its ferocious body, dark brown like rock, lay prone on the high cliff, observing the group of people walking in the ravine.

Each of them possesses enormous venom glands, and their pointed heads resemble the ferocious and ruthless appearance of a wicked woman. Their slender and soft claws can adhere perfectly to vertical stone walls, and they can move at high speeds without making a sound!

Most magicians use ground waves to sense creatures on the ground, especially when demons are moving.

Ground waves can effectively capture the sound of footsteps; the more ground waves there are, the stronger the sound of footsteps.

Therefore, experienced earth-type hunters will not allow themselves to be surrounded by groups of demons, as the sound of demons stomping on the ground is more noticeable when they are active.

However, these desert bone-eating spiders...they didn't make a single sound.

Approaching quietly, spying quietly, so quiet it's chilling!

The earth mage in the group did not sense the slightest movement.

Even Bai Mo only discovered their presence at this point, more than a thousand meters after entering the Great Rift Valley.

The highest level of the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders is only the Commander level. They cannot trigger the warning effect of Bai Mo's Five-Tone Bell, which is why Bai Mo discovered them at this time.

These creatures are similar to the undead, and what's most frightening about them is their sheer number.

Crimson ripples spread around, igniting several desert bone-eating spiders, one of which was right above Zhang Yue's head!

It was suspended by thin spider silk, and its sharp spider legs, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, were less than ten meters away from Zhang Yue's skull!

If it hadn't been discovered, the desert bone-eating spider's leg sickles would probably have stabbed Zhang Yue into a gourd-like shape in the next moment!

Flames ignited on the head of the Desert Bone-Eating Spider above Zhang Yue, but the flames carried by a warning sonic wave, even after being enhanced by fusion magic, only barely reached the power of a high-level being.

This wasn't fatal to the desert bone-eating spider; the flames exposed it, and Zhang Yue reacted immediately.

Her years of missions in the wilderness of Africa have honed her ability to perceive constellations with a single thought, even though she is only a high-level rank.

"Silent Thunder Death Ray!"

A violent bolt of purple lightning struck the Desert Bone-Eating Spider, blasting it away and shattering half of its leg.

"defense!"

As the leader Feng Huang's voice rang out, the team automatically changed formation, with nine squads forming a circle to block the first wave of Desert Bone-Eating Spiders.

As the flames subsided, the Phoenix Hunters realized that the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders, which had appeared quite clear before, were now virtually invisible, making them extremely difficult to spot.

Only after looking for a long time can one occasionally catch a glimpse of a hideous spider leg, or meet that malevolent gaze.

Everyone then realized just how strong Bai Mo's reconnaissance abilities had been. Feng Huang immediately looked at Bai Mo:

"Bai Mo, can you continue to let these desert bone-eating spiders appear?"

"Sure, but that would be too troublesome. We can't just stay in one place and keep defending. These spiders will avoid the magic spread."

Bai Mo paused, then continued, "We can't afford to waste time with these Desert Bone-Eating Spiders. Remember Hong Shiliu? That's the real danger. So we need to kill our way through this Desert Bone-Eating Spider horde before Hong Shiliu does!"

Feng Huang turned his head, looked at him in astonishment, and then said:

What are your thoughts?

"Our tenth team will lead the way. You follow and prepare for defense on the left, right, and rear."

"The shape of that desert bone-eating spider"

"I will tell you the location."

Musical mages are natural conductors; their skill level depends on their auditory perception of sound.

He had no problem sealing off the wasteland, but he was still somewhat hesitant to entrust the road-clearing work to these people.

After all, Mo Fan and the others all looked quite young, and only Bai Mo was more powerful in cultivation; the others were much weaker.

Bai Mo could obviously see what he was thinking. He pursed his lips and patted the big orange cat carrying Lingling beside him.

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

In an instant, a tremendous roar surged like a raging torrent towards the Tianshan Mountains, its echoes spreading for tens of kilometers.

The Divine Dust Tiger suddenly expanded and transformed into a giant tiger over ten meters tall, its majestic fur flying as it leaped.

As it landed in front of the mercenary group, it stirred up rings of bright yellow patterns that spread across the ground, and a sandstorm immediately began to sweep around the Divine Dust Tiger, growing larger and larger.

You can see sand and gravel raining down like bullets on the cliff face in front of Shenchenhu, instantly spraying out large patches of blood.

Shen Chenhu walked forward, and everyone immediately followed. At the same time, waves of fire-patterned sound circles spread out, outlining the other aspects of the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders, and also conveying Bai Mo's words to the ears of every team member.

"Fifty meters to the left front, with a range of twenty."

"Five birds, fifteen meters ahead."

"Twenty meters above, one."

One by one, the locations were announced, and almost the instant the Phoenix Mercenary Group finished preparing their magic, the fire patterns outlined the locations of the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders.

And then a dazzling magical bombardment lit up the sky in an instant!

Each mage responsible for destruction only needs to draw the spell and then throw it out like a fool.

This experience was fantastic for them; in Mo Fan's words, they could fight with their eyes closed.

The tenth team was at the front, but in fact they were not under Bai Mo's command.

Because wherever the Divine Dust Tiger went, all these Desert Bone-Eating Spiders were pierced through like sandstorm bullets.

The gushing blood directly marked their locations, and what Mo Fan, Mu Ning, Xue Ai, Jiang Tu, and the others had to do was finish off the remaining desert bone-eating spiders that hadn't been shot.

As a result, the once terrifying and dreadful desert bone-eating spider horde became less terrifying.

The group was like a sharp blade, forcefully breaking through the obstruction of the desert bone-eating spiders. Even if more desert bone-eating spiders attacked, they could not cause them any harm.

They traveled forward almost without stopping. Bai Mo's ears twitched slightly, and as a ring of fiery sonic waves spread out, he issued a command:

"Stop on the long, steep slope 700 meters ahead. There's a torrent of rocks flowing down. It's 7 kilometers away. We expect to arrive in half an hour."

Upon hearing this, the group continued their methodical slaughter of the defensive Desert Bone-Eating Spiders, while also quickening their pace.

The reverse slope is similar to a wide cliff walkway, rising slowly along the steep and majestic cliff face, directly offset from the rift valley below...

When they reached the long, steep slope 700 meters ahead, they immediately stopped to rest.

The surrounding desert bone-eating spiders wanted to give chase, but were intimidated by the Divine Dust Tiger and immediately hesitated to approach.

While everyone rested, they also kept their eyes on the front.

Although they are no longer afraid of Hong Shiliu, they want to see just how terrifying he really is.

Before the expected rumbling sound arrived, Zhao Manyan first saw a large group of people running.

"Look, there's a group of people up ahead!"

"They must have discovered the Floodstone Stream and are looking for a place to retreat," Mo Fan said.

"It's the Arsen Hunters who invited us before," said the mercenary group's scout mage.

"Ignore them and don't stop them from coming up," Feng Huang said.

The Arsen Hunters were from Baoxiang Kingdom, and Feng Huang didn't think much of these arrogant and self-important guys.

Therefore, he will not offer help voluntarily.

At this point, Bai Mo no longer needed to give instructions, nor did he intend to interfere.

Soon, the members of the Arsen Hunters' Group rushed up the reverse slope.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Immediately afterwards, the entire Great Rift Valley began to tremble violently.

The earth-shattering force made every member of the mercenary group feel oppressed, wondering if they would be swallowed up by the terrifying torrent of rocks in the next second.

The previously hesitant desert bone-eating spiders were also intimidated by this overwhelming destructive aura, and one by one they climbed to higher ground, not daring to linger around.

The torrent of water was dark brown, and it crashed through like a terrifying, dragon-like monster!

Seeing everything beneath their feet destroyed, everyone was grateful that they had arrived at this safe point ahead of time, and they fought their way through the desert filled with bone-eating spiders.

Seeing the disheveled state of the Arsen Hunters, with some even crippled, the Phoenix Hunters were even more grateful to have Bai Mo, their brilliant vocal commander!
