Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start.

Chapter 98 Fire Calamity Fruit

……

Under the protection of Lü Cheng's fire-based domain, everyone safely weathered the Heavenly Fire Tribulation.

However, what shocked everyone most right now was not the overwhelming calamity of heaven and earth, but Lü Cheng's innate domain.

Aside from Lingling, who had already guessed, no one else, not even Ye Xinxia, ​​knew. After all, Lü Cheng rarely mentioned his fire magic, mostly using mind magic and summoning magic. After awakening his spatial magic, he also used mind control quite often.

I thought the Mind and Summoning talents were already outrageous enough, but the most outrageous one is actually the silent Fire talent!

"I have a feeling that we might end up as mere accessories in this university competition," Jiang Shaoxu said with a strange expression.

Ai Jiangtu was speechless for a moment.

That's very possible!

There is still nearly a year before the Academy Competition, and two years before the competition officially begins. With Lü Cheng's terrifying speed, he will probably reach the high-level mastery of all four elements by the time the competition officially begins!

If the Spirit Stone that the Magic Court is looking for is found, and Lu Cheng's mental power breaks through to the seventh realm, then their entire team combined probably wouldn't be a match for Lu Cheng!

What else could this be but a pendant?

"However, it would feel good to win without lifting a finger," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.

"It's normal for the captain to be a bit stronger."

Ai Jiangtu's eye twitched slightly; he didn't know whether he should complain or not.

Is this what you call "a little stronger"?

"Huh? What are you doing?" Lingling looked at Lü Cheng, who was collecting the corpses of demons, with a puzzled expression.

"The fire calamity will generate a large amount of precious resources. Before long, the Hunter Alliance and the military will send a large number of people to search for treasure," Lu Cheng said while collecting corpses.

Lingling looked at her strangely, "You wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"Make it a little harder for them." Lü Cheng threw the mountain of demon corpses into the nearby Sha Wang River.

The calm sandy surface suddenly became restless, as wave after wave of white sand demon soldiers surged up from the sand river.

Lu Cheng looked at Ding Yumin, "Add some more fuel."

Ding Yumin nodded, turned to face the direction of the Sha Wang River, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and a burst of mental energy containing endless violence suddenly spread out towards the Sha Wang River.

In an instant, the Shawang River boiled!

An endless stream of white sand demon soldiers poured out of the sand river, their numbers far exceeding the riots that had erupted when Lü Cheng had given everyone a wrong example.

The sand river could no longer hold so many white sand demon soldiers; many enormous sand soldiers were even pushed outside the riverbed.

Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, everyone's expressions froze completely.

Very well! You really are a living devil!

This road is completely blocked!

Treasure hunting?

In this situation, even if the army comes, you'll have to run away!

As for taking other routes, it would take at least several days to get here!

"Alright, now you can focus on your treasure hunt," said Lü Cheng.

"Us?" Mu Nujiao was taken aback.

"You..."

"When the fire calamity erupted just now, I sensed something, but the aura on the other side was a bit dangerous. It was at least a fire life form at the commander level or above. If you were together, it would be too dangerous," Lu Cheng said.

"I have spatial abilities, which means I can escape if I encounter something I can't beat, but I might not be able to protect you guys. So, I won't be taking you guys with me for the rest of the journey."

Everyone nodded, without saying anything like they had to come along or that they were worried.

"By the way, considering your upcoming treasure hunt, Xiaotian and Jingyun will be left to you," Lu Cheng said.

"After all, if you all gather together, it will inevitably be difficult to allocate resources when you encounter them. If you split up, the probability of finding treasure will increase, and the harvest will also be much greater."

"Brother Cheng, why don't you take one with you? Leave them all to us. What if you encounter danger..." Ye Xinxia said with some concern.

"If I can beat them, I don't need help. If I can't beat them, Xiaotian and the others can't help either. Besides, I'll just run away, so it won't have much of an impact," Lu Cheng said.

"Everyone has come all this way with great effort, we can't go back empty-handed."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinxia said nothing more, and the group began to discuss dividing into teams.

Ai Jiangtu's main purpose was to protect Ai Tutu, so he would definitely be with Ai Tutu. Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao are best friends, so they would naturally be together as well. Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumin would also be together.

Lingling has no combat ability, and Jiang Shaoxu is a mind and light magic mage, so their direct combat ability is very weak. Therefore, the two of them decided to act with the group.

Seeing this situation, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhao Manyan decided to form a three-person team. This would allow them to act quickly, and with fewer people, they could easily allocate resources.

In the end, Chen Ying had no choice but to follow the main group, since Lü Cheng couldn't possibly take her with him.

"Goodbye then, take care." Lu Cheng waved and disappeared using teleportation.

"We're leaving now!"

Mo Fan summoned the Winged Demon Wolf, and together with Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan, who had been eagerly setting off to search for treasure, they rushed towards the direction where the fire element aura was strong. Jing Yun, on the other hand, flew slowly in the air, following behind the three of them.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Chen Ying.

When Lü Cheng said he planned to act alone, the most nervous and anxious person here was not Ye Xinxia and the others, but this young girl from the Zhao family.

However, everyone has already witnessed Lü Cheng's strength. Even the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation Fire could not harm him. There should be no one on this land who can pose a fatal threat to him.

Therefore, this girl was definitely not worried about Lü Cheng's safety.

"I..." Chen Ying hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Acheng told me a little something last night," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"However, I still hope you can speak up yourself. We're all on the same team, and we'll be exploring together in the future. If you have any problems, just tell us, and we can all help you figure out a solution."

"Yes," Xinxia said.

"I sensed you were preoccupied from the moment we entered the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, especially when Brother Acheng blocked the fire calamity. You seemed very strange then."

"I..." Chen Ying felt even more nervous when she saw everyone's eyes were on her.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Jiang Shaoxu held Chen Ying's hand. "Don't be nervous. We've been through life and death together just now, facing those terrifying flames. And as an earth mage, you're the key to finding the underground treasures in the upcoming adventure. How many treasures we find depends on you."

"..."

"Feel sorry……"

Under the repeated reassurances from Jiang Shaoxu and Ye Xinxia, ​​Chen Ying revealed everything she knew about Zhuoyuan North Corner and the purpose of this operation.

"So that's why you were so nervous when you heard that Brother Cheng was planning to act alone?" Xinxia asked.

"Mm." Chen Ying nodded.

"He can withstand the fire calamity and is the strongest, so there's a very high probability he can find the Fire Calamity Fruit. He's also here for Yan Ji, who is the guardian of the Fire Calamity Fruit. So..."

"He might not share it with you," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Hmm..." Chen Ying lowered her head nervously.

"I was planning to tell him the general location of Yan Ji in the hopes of obtaining a Fire Calamity Fruit, but he seems to have sensed Yan Ji's presence, so I..."

"You should have said these things from the beginning," Mu Nujiao said.

"I..." Chen Ying felt very guilty.

"Are you afraid that if you tell us, we'll fight you for the Fire Calamity Fruit?" Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Hmm..." Chen Ying lowered her head in shame.

The Fire Calamity Fruit is extremely valuable and very difficult to obtain, with a price but no market. She was just a marginal figure in the Zhao family, and her family was unlikely to be willing to spend too much money for her mother to obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit. Since she had not made any contribution in this operation, she naturally couldn't ask for it.

"Brother Cheng, can you hear me?" Lingling said into a special communication device in her hand.

"I heard you. You can focus on your treasure hunt outside. I'll find the Fire Calamity Fruit," Lu Cheng's voice came through.

"Thank you!" Chenying said excitedly.

"It's nothing. You risked your life to come here, you can't just come back empty-handed. I'm practically your teacher, so I'll help you out with this little thing," Lu Cheng said.

"Thank you, Teacher Lü!" Chen Ying couldn't help but cry.

"Alright, stop crying. The people outside can't come in for the next couple of days. You can stay outside and search for treasure in peace. Since you're already here, take everything you can. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if so many people started fighting over the loot," Lu Cheng said.

"Be careful, run if there's danger."

The communication was disconnected.

With the problem of the Fire-Robbery Fruit resolved, the atmosphere in the group became cheerful again.

"Lingling, aren't communication devices unusable outside Anjie?" Xinxia asked, puzzled.

"This is professional equipment," Lingling said.

"It's very expensive!"

Everyone nodded.

Something that can make even a little rich girl like Lingling use the word "expensive" must be more than just expensive!

Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Shaoxu looked somewhat uneasy.

Individual communication devices usable outside of security zones are high-authority items in the military; even military families like theirs can't take them out without permission. This little girl…

not simple!
