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

Chapter 84 Blood Poison Exterminates the Rats

"The client gave me Ye's photo and activity information, saying that he was a demon disguised as a human. I," Liu Yun said, describing the situation of the commission he received, but Mingdeng's sudden shout interrupted him.

"Master Ye, how are you?"

Bai Mo turned around at the sound and saw Mingdeng squatting on the ground, supporting the back of the Night Kitchen God with one hand. It turned out that the Night Kitchen God had been lying on the ground at some point, and was on the verge of death, his originally pale face now shrouded in black mist.

"I've been poisoned and I'm about to die, but that's not important. Listen to me."

Night Kitchen God stopped the others from asking questions, his dark lips opening and closing, uttering words one by one.

"I am indeed a student of Pearl Academy, but I have already graduated and left Pearl. The Spirit Sound Rats were also gathered by me. At first, I thought it was just a test given to me by Dean Li. It was only after I went to Nine Peaks Mountain and saw those tasks that I realized I had caused a great disaster."

"Monk, I was wrong that day. I only wanted you to show yourself so I could drive you away, but I didn't expect you to kill those Spirit Sound Rats' children. That's why you were chased by the Spirit Sound Rats all the way."

Then, he looked at Bai Mo and said, "I'm glad to meet you here, but I need your help with something."

I'm here today to atone for my mistakes. I am a ratman, and my blood has a deadly attraction for those spirit rats.

"So today, I left my life essence and blood poison in the place where they drink water every day. When I die, the blood poison will erupt!"

However, my poison cultivation is not high. My blood poison may not kill all the Spirit Sound Rats that drank my blood, but it will make them unconscious for about an hour and prevent them from making any noise for three days.

"This..." Bai Mo and the others exchanged glances, and Liu Yun and the other two also showed surprise.

But Night Kitchen God continued speaking.

"My poison is about to take effect, and I no longer have the strength to deal with the Spirit Sound Rats I've gathered here one by one. Junior! I hope you can help me eliminate those demons, and the corpses of those Spirit Sound Rats will be my reward."

Night Kitchen Lord's voice grew weaker and weaker, but his tone and expression remained calm throughout.

"Junior, I only hope to be taken back to Mingzhu after I die. It's the only place that ever accepted me. I want to prove that we superhumans actually have human hearts, and that we are not demons."

"Senior Ye, you—" Bai Mo was about to tell him not to give up, that there might be other solutions, but the words stopped abruptly in his throat.

Because at this moment, the Night Kitchen God had already fallen silent.

Bai Mo's gaze swept over Mingdeng, Zhou Tianyuan, Zhang Yuan, and Mei Qian. Their faces were all solemn; they all remembered the three words Ye Zao Jun had said to Mingdeng when he accused him of failing Mingzhu's education: "I didn't."

"Young man, could you release us from our restraints? We are willing to help Ye fulfill his last wish and eliminate those Spirit Sound Rats! We didn't know beforehand that the person we were commissioned to kill was actually a student of Mingzhu Academy! Don't worry, we won't take a single penny of the Spirit Sound Rats as payment."

Liu Yun suddenly spoke up and expressed his remorse.

Bai Mo glanced at the man. He hadn't done anything terribly wrong; he'd simply been exploited for a weakness, tempted by greed, and conveniently surrounded by unscrupulous people. Bai Mo glanced at the man with the eyeshadow; it was precisely these factors that had led the dark-faced man to attack them.

"I can release you, but not your companions," Bai Mo said calmly. With a flash of silver light, the magic-suppressing handcuffs in Liu Yun's hands broke in two.

He wasn't afraid that Liu Yun would unlock their handcuffs without his permission. Liu Yun was just a half-baked high-level cultivator, and Bai Mo was confident that he could kill him before Liu Yun could even begin to draw his magic.

Then Bai Mo and Ming Deng exchanged glances. Bai Mo waved his hand to collect the remains of the Night Stove Lord, and the four of them ran towards the direction of the Spirit Sound Rat swarm.

"Zhou Tianyuan, as you know, there are some special humans in this world, like Ye Zao Jun. Mingzhu Academy also has a group of special students who are managed by a group called the Extraordinary People Academy."

As they sped along, Bai Mo explained the matter of the Night Kitchen God to Zhou Tianyuan and the others, believing that Zhou Tianyuan must have heard about these things.

"I see. But how did you know he was a student?"

"I saw him at Jiufeng Mountain yesterday morning."

Even Mingdeng's usually calm face held a hint of anger. "It seems that some of Night Master's actions are being manipulated. Even if we fulfill his last wish to eliminate these Spirit Sound Rats, he will not rest in peace."

Zhou Tianyuan now understands Ye Zaojun's identity and is gradually realizing that Ye Zaojun is just a student who is being sheltered by the Mingzhu Strange People Academy.

These students typically live there indefinitely, serving both as protection and oversight. Human society generally struggles to provide them with a place to live. However, they are not demons and cannot remain in the wild forever.

But the Night Kitchen God appeared, carrying a mission. Clearly, he didn't do it voluntarily; it was all premeditated.

If they hadn't witnessed the chase, Night Kitchen God would have remained just a part of a hunter's demon-slaying achievements, and his actions after repentance would have been ineffective.

The swarm of Spirit Rats gathered here still threatens Jiufeng Mountain for the purposes of certain individuals.

"Master Mingdeng's investigation should continue." Bai Mo then remembered Mingdeng's investigation mission on the Starfire Judgment Network. He didn't want Mingdeng to simply attribute everything to Night Stove Lord.

"nature."

Soon, the group of four arrived at the place where the Spirit Sound Rats had been seen the day before. Rats, each the size of a small car, were parked on the ground. Some were silent, while others had their eyes closed and their auras fluctuated.

Unfortunately, Ye Zao Jun said that if these Spirit Sound Rats didn't die, they would only be unconscious for an hour, otherwise Bai Mo would have preferred to notify the military first.

Preliminary observations indicate that the number of Spirit Rat folk here has exceeded three thousand. Even if some have died, there are still more than two thousand. With just a few people, it's not certain that they can finish them off before the rats wake up.

"Wind Spirit!" Bai Mo used dimensional summoning to call out to the little Wind Spirit. The little Wind Spirit seemed to sense the suppressed anger deep in his heart, and as soon as it appeared, it transformed into the fierce and powerful Fei Lian.

"Master Mingdeng, you take Zhang Yuan, and the three of us will split up to kill them."

Bai Mo had already signaled Feng Ling to go in one direction to eliminate the unconscious Spirit Sound Rats. There, a storm tornado was brewing, and the Spirit Sound Rats, which looked like corpses, were being pulled into the violently spinning storm, lifted to an unknown height in the sky, and then thrown down.

Bai Mo also steered the wind track in a certain direction. Seven semi-transparent silver phantom swords danced around him, constantly piercing the heads of the Spirit Sound Rats, only to reappear beside him and continue to pierce their skulls.

Clusters of blood flowers bloomed around him.

Mingdeng led Zhang Yuan along at a slow pace, holding a yellowish-brown wooden fish in his hand, which seemed to enhance his control over the earth element.

Patches of bluish-brown spikes, like the fangs of the earth, suddenly pierced the ground, tearing the Spirit Sound Rats to shreds.

Zhou Tianyuan stood still, the azure star map shimmering beneath his feet, but he continued to use the Water Element Demon Array to transform, constantly accumulating the power of the raging waves.

Mei Qian is no less impressive; wielding the power of thunder and fire, her output is second only to Master Mingdeng.

Liu Yun, who followed, saw the two butchers and twitched his lips. Luckily, he hadn't unlocked their handcuffs, since they hadn't used their full strength when they hit him.

If they were to come out and cause trouble, Liu Yun touched his neck; the silver sword looked incredibly fast.

He didn't approach the four people, but instead kept a distance and began to burn the Spirit Rats to death with his flames.

The frequent magical fluctuations and the swirling tornadoes created by the wind spirits, amidst the massive waves stirred up by Zhou Tianyuan, caught the attention of the hunters who had also rushed over. They quickly realized something was wrong and joined the slaughter.

Unlike Bai Mo and his group who advanced steadily, they would cut off the ears of the Spirit Sound Rats with their knives after each kill as proof of completing their mission.

Of course, there are also people who don't follow the hunter's rules and try to take the Spirit Sound Rat that Bai Mo and his companions killed. Bai Mo will not tolerate such people.

He hasn't said whether he wants it or not. If he kills them and leaves, and these people come up to pick up the trash, Bai Mo won't see it or know it.

But he's still killing people up there, and you're already licking his boots from behind? It's really unsettling.

So, when these people removed the ear of one of the Spirit Rat he had killed, a sword flashed and pierced through the man's hand, pinning him to the ground.

When more hunters arrived, Bai Mo and his companions stopped, as there were not many Spirit Sound Rats left.

They need to reserve some mana to deal with unexpected situations.

Of the Spirit Sound Rats killed by the four, only Bai Mo, Zhou Tianyuan, and Mei Qian managed to kill them relatively intact. Feng Ling smashed the rats into mincemeat, and Ming Deng did almost the same.

So Bai Mo cut off the ears of all the Spirit Sound Rats that the three of them had killed and put them away. He planned to divide the task among the three of them when they returned.

Zhang Yuan insisted that he hadn't been of any help and therefore refused. Actually, Mingdeng, Bai Mo, and the others didn't care about that, but everyone has their own principles, and the respect they deserve should be shown. His refusal was firm, so the three of them stopped insisting.

After resting for a while, the group headed towards Jiufeng Mountain.

Not long after entering the forest, Zhang Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Brother Mo, I sensed malice ahead."

Upon hearing this, the group paused, but continued forward without making a sound. Their hearts sank; their earlier fears had come true. Someone had been eyeing them for their money.

The sound-detecting earring appeared on Bai Mo's ear, and he quickly realized that someone was indeed lurking in the woods eighty meters away.

Zhou Tianyuan's raging waves had exhausted his water-based magic power, and Mei Qian's condition wasn't much better either. Therefore, Bai Mo turned his gaze to Mingdeng, who nodded slightly.

"Another fight is no problem."

"Prepare your magic!" Bai Mo said softly, and the group continued forward.

After the four of them had traveled a certain distance, Bai Mo felt a strange movement under his feet, and Ming Deng's expression also changed drastically.

All the surrounding grass and trees began to grow and multiply, sprouting branches and leaves, budding and extending, intertwining and covering each other. In an instant, countless plants spread to the top of the four people's heads, intertwining and surrounding them, forming a huge plant cage.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, throw all your loot on the ground, cripple one of your hands, and call me 'Grandpa' three times. Otherwise, my flames won't be so merciful!"

A boastful voice rang out, and Bai Mo could sense that there was someone blocking their way from all sides, clearly afraid that they would use some special method to escape from this Kun Forest.

Having identified the person making the noise outside, and without intending to run away, Bai Mo calmly asked, "What if I don't hand it over?"

"You won't hand it over!?" The voice seemed excited. "If you don't hand it over, then you'll all die here like the last guy!"

"By doing this, you've broken the Hunter's Alliance rules. Someone will come after you!"

Zhou Tianyuan couldn't help but say that his mother worked in the Hunter Alliance, so he had always had a good impression of hunters and disliked anyone breaking the rules of the Hunter Alliance.

"Tch—!!" The man sneered. "Rules? How many hunters die in the wild every year? Does the Hunter's Alliance even know how they died? Can they possibly manage them all?"

Having said that, he was too lazy to waste any more words and let out a loud shout.

"Fierce Fist!"

A massive fiery fist slammed into Kunzhilin.

In an instant, the entire cage was ignited by the raging fist, and the flames continued to spread, threatening to turn the people and vines inside into ashes.

"broken!"

Bai Mo gave a soft shout, and a burst of silver light spread like ripples on water. As the light swept across, the plant prisons that surrounded them began to shatter and disintegrate, along with the flames connected to them.

It destroyed the Kun Forest as easily as blowing away smoke.

As soon as Bai Mo and his companions appeared, bursts of magical light flashed, thunder roared, ice bolts flew, waves crashed, and invisible flying nails suddenly attacked.

Clearly, these people were intent on killing them, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Time lag!"

Ripples spread across the space, and silver light swirled in Bai Mo's eyes, compressing the space into a time lag in the blink of an eye.

The powerful and turbulent thunder in the sky, the chilling ice locks in the air, the booming waves crashing in, and the silent and ghostly invisible shadow nails were all frozen in an instant, unable to move an inch.

Taking advantage of the four people's stunned and frightened state, Mingdeng suddenly stomped on the ground, using earth waves to carry the five people away from the place surrounded by destructive magic.

Before the four could react, Bai Mo unleashed his magical light once more.

A buzzing sound of spatial tremors rang out, and four silver lights flew by, instantly severing four horrified heads.

"May Buddha have mercy!" Upon seeing this, Master Mingdeng chanted a Buddhist prayer and waved his hand.

As the ground churned, it buried the four people in the giant crater created by their magic.

Some hunters were watching from the surrounding woods. Upon seeing this scene, some were indifferent, while others were wary. No one dared to make a move against them anymore.
