Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 10 This is a separate price; you'll have to pay extra!

The demonic vines shimmered with a brownish sheen, as if they were covered with irregular layers of mud.

The demonic vine that had just been torn off by Cheng Xiao and was now regrowing was also visibly developing a brownish sheen from the inside out.

Swish!

Yegrit drew the short sword from his waist and casually swung it, severing more than a dozen demonic vines.

The condition of the demonic vine is the same as the section that Cheng Xiao tore off earlier!

"These demonic vines are all interconnected; no wonder the Mu family mage couldn't deal with them." Cheng Xiao stood up and clapped his hands.

"It seems that only by finding the source of these demonic vines can this problem be solved."

After explaining the situation to Mu Nujiao, Cheng Xiao went with Yegliet to find the source of the demonic vine.

Although the vegetation in this area is lush and provides ample cover, finding the vines with their brown, muddy appearance is not too difficult.

The dense forest behind the mine.

A strange, eerie vine spread out into countless tendrils, with the main vine shimmering with a brown light.

Beneath the strange vine lies a greenish-brown seed the size of a basketball.

The vines spreading outwards from the center of the creeping vine and the seed have almost formed a spider web.

Cheng Xiao and Yegoritt stood outside the protective netting of the demonic vine spider. The latter said:

"The monarch is a warrior-level creature."

Cheng Xiao nodded and analyzed:

"That warrior-level plant demon is refining plant seeds. It absorbs the energy from the mine because the plant seeds have an earth-type sub-attribute."

"The plant demon has absorbed the power emitted by the plant seed and has adapted to the constitution of that spirit seed. If it can use the energy of the mineral vein, the refining process will be smoother."

"Judging from this, that plant demon should be almost finished refining the plant seed. No wonder it attracted the sea demons. Absorbing the enormous energy of the spirit seed would easily attract attention."

"Your Majesty, shall we take action immediately?" Jaeglit asked.

"I can't work overtime for nothing." Cheng Xiao smiled.

"Let's go back first."

..............................

Return to the camp of the Shepherd's Mage Corps.

Cheng Xiao informed Mu Nujiao of the existence of general-level plant demons and plant species, leaving the latter stunned.

"Plant species of warrior-level and spirit-seed level, with additional sub-attributes!" Mu Nujiao was envious.

She was also a botany major, so she knew how tough and difficult those vines were to manage.

If she could refine that plant seed, her strength would definitely increase significantly!

But that plant seed was being guarded by a warrior-level expert, and it was almost completely refined.

"I can help you eliminate that warrior-level creature, but that's an extra charge!" Cheng Xiao said.

"Really?!" Mu Nujiao's eyes lit up, but she asked with some worry:

"How much more money will that cost?"

"Add another six million to the four million commission fee. Also, the additional task details should be written in the end-of-commission review," Cheng Xiao said, word by word.

"no problem!"

Upon hearing that the additional amount was only six million, Mu Nujiao agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, deal."

After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he began to take action, with Mu Nujiao following closely behind.

"Are you going to come along?" Cheng Xiao asked, puzzled.

Mu Nujiao nodded blankly:

"If we don't go together, how will I write the extra content for your commission closing review later?"

"So naive, so inflexible," Cheng Xiao said.

"Then don't get scared later."

Mu Nujiao didn't understand that sentence.

But they were already starting to wonder what methods Cheng Xiao would use to deal with the warrior-level creature.

Outside the protective spider web formed by the greenish-brown vines.

"That warrior-level vine doesn't seem to intend to attack us," Mu Nujiao said.

"It's focused solely on refining the plant seeds and advancing to the level of a Great General, so it definitely won't bother with us. Otherwise, we would have been attacked from fifty meters away," Cheng Xiao said.

"So what are you going to do now?" Mu Nujiao asked curiously.

Cheng Xiao took two steps forward and uttered the command to summon the soldiers:

"Stand up!"

The familiar deathly wind still blew, but this time the undead soldiers that appeared left Mu Nujiao speechless.

Nine undead soldiers appeared this time, and the soldiers' appearance was actually that of the Sea Demon Crocodile that Cheng Xiao had killed not long ago!

Apart from the scales and skin turning black, its appearance is basically the same!

"I warned you, don't be scared." Cheng Xiao smiled, then gave the order:

"kill!"

Boom!

Boom! !

Boom! ! !

Nine enormous shadow sea monster crocodile soldiers, each as tall as Yegrit, began their trampling attack.

Those tough demonic vines could only barely restrict the rhinoceros crocodile soldiers' steps, but their terrifying bite force was something the demonic vines could not withstand!

"How terrifying, it's practically a monster," Mu Nujiao couldn't help but say.

"Why are you swearing at me!" Cheng Xiao turned his head to look at her.

"I... I didn't mean that." Mu Nujiao came to her senses, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Her appearance made Cheng Xiao burst out laughing.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

This young lady from the Mu family changes her expression very quickly, which is quite endearing.

Hearing Cheng Xiao's laughter, Mu Nujiao was even more embarrassed.

She looked up and saw the battlefield not far away, then quickly changed the subject:

"Those demonic vines need to be completely cleared out. Are warrior-level monsters really that weak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of vines pierced through the three shadow sea monster rhinoceros soldiers.

They vanished instantly, returning to Cheng Xiao's shadow!

Mu Nujiao:

Okay, it just didn't lash out, that doesn't mean it's bad.

"This warrior is so terrifying, can your undead soldiers really handle it?" Mu Nujiao asked worriedly.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the Warrior-level plant, the Ghost Vine, let out a terrifying roar like a ghost's howl.

Then they saw Yegliete grab a half-meter-long greenish-brown vine and throw it in front of Cheng Xiao and Mu Nujiao.

"Your Majesty, it has been taken care of," Jaeglit said.

"You've worked hard, Yegrit." Cheng Xiao nodded, picked up the lifeless Warrior-level Ghost Vine, and turned to look at Mu Nujiao:

"What did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing."

Mu Nujiao pursed her red lips, awkwardly tensing her toes, her beautiful face burning with pain.

"Quickly call your shepherd family to come and collect the plant seeds," Cheng Xiao said.

"Oh, right."

Mu Nujiao's understanding of the world has been overturned many times today, leaving her completely stunned. She is only now coming to her senses.

Her plant cultivation level is only at the initial stage, so she cannot absorb plant species.

Whether it's a spirit seed, a soul seed, or even a celestial seed, they all require a special container to hold them and ensure that their energy is not lost.

Of course, most mages who seek out elemental species will absorb them on the spot.

The sudden discovery of a spirit seed like this is quite unexpected.

It was nearing evening.

Mu Nujiao then had her family bring a container to collect the spirit seed and take it away.

"Cheng Xiao, thank you so much this time. Consider it a favor I owe you." Mu Nujiao expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Cheng Xiao smiled and did not refuse the favor.

Mu Nujiao suddenly became somewhat shy, and her voice lowered a few decibels:

"May I add you on a private contact list?"
