Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 200: Nan Jue Takes the Initiative, Jiang Shaoxu Gets Jealous

"Captain, I have this feeling that you're not our age. It's unbelievable that you can get an entire mercenary group to risk their lives just because of your identity."

The usually aloof Nan Jue took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xu Beichen.

This is a mercenary group, you know. They'd risk their lives for money, and now they don't even ask for a single penny in compensation.

But upon closer examination, it's quite understandable, since Xu Beichen has helped many mages break through forbidden spells.

Regardless of whether the leader of the Mailong Mercenary Group has reached the level of a top-tier mage, even if he has, he would still have to be obedient and humble in front of a forbidden spell mage.

Although there is only a fine line between a master of incest and a master of forbidden spells, they are worlds apart.

Some monks reach the level of a fully-fledged monk very early on, but remain at that level for the rest of their lives!

"I am indeed a bit older than you. Old Ai is probably around my age," Xu Beichen said casually.

Ai Jiangtu, who was inexplicably called out, gave a wry smile. He was only a dual-elemental super-tier cultivator at the moment, and even in three years, he might not be able to catch up with Xu Beichen now.

Nan Jue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. Was I talking about age?

"Nan Jue, why don't you come and develop your career at our Beichen Pavilion? I happen to need a bodyguard," Xu Beichen suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan immediately began to tease him.

Brother Xu is truly a role model for us all; I'm taking Nanjue with me too.

"Captain, should I call Nan Rongni and Mu Tingying over as well?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a half-smile.

"Uh." Xu Beichen was speechless. Jiang Shaoxu really knew how to bring up the most awkward topics.

Under his interference, Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni were considered to be honest and well-behaved during their time at the Nationalist government.

However, he never intended to take down these two, otherwise his harem would be on fire every day.

The group chatted idly while the Mailong Mercenary Group scouted ahead.

When the Mailong Mercenary Group arrived at the entrance to the Tianshan Grand Canyon in the desert layer, there were already quite a few mage teams stationed there.

Instead of going inside, they set up some temporary tents or used magic to build some earthen houses.

The Great Rift Valley is a new place, and even without entering the Tian Shan Scar, it still holds many treasures.

Normally, these people would rush inside as quickly as possible after hearing the news.

They should have looted all the treasures in the Great Rift Valley, instead of setting up tents here and there.

"What the heck? Are they all having a picnic here?" Zhao Manyan said abruptly.

Mo Fan rolled his eyes. Who's crazy enough to have a picnic here?

"They seem to have run into some trouble," Nan Jue said.

The Mailong Mercenary Group wasn't just a bunch of reckless brutes; Kuma immediately sent someone to find out what was going on.

According to the hunters, in short, a massive rockfall occurred in the Great Rift Valley not long ago.

A hunter team entered the area, but they were all buried alive and swallowed up by Hong Shiliu.

Kuma was immediately stumped by the question.

Because of the terrifying destructive power of this torrent of stones, even the strongest defensive magic could hardly withstand it.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will definitely find a safe way forward," Kuma assured Xu Beichen.

Kuma wasn't worried about losing many men, but Xu Beichen's safety absolutely could not be compromised in the slightest.

"Now is the best time to set off. If we miss it, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow," Xu Beichen reminded him.

Kuma was taken aback. She was about to ask why, but then she remembered Xu Beichen's identity and realized that these were questions she shouldn't be asking.

After hesitating for a long time, Kuma made up his mind. "Mr. Xu, please rest for a moment. I will go and inform the team to move forward."

With the Mairon Mercenary Group advancing ahead, the previously hesitant teams also took action and followed closely behind the Mairon Mercenary Group.

They were afraid of both the danger and the lack of a share of the treasure.

The Mairon Mercenary Group was renowned, which gave people a lot of confidence in following them.

The Great Rift Valley is not a long, winding road; once inside, it branches into countless forks.

But Xu Beichen doesn't need to worry about getting lost. If he can't tell which way to go, he can teleport to a height of a thousand meters and instantly see the route below.

Xu Beichen's physical abilities are already comparable to those of a Grand Monarch, and his eyesight and perception are naturally far superior to those of ordinary people.

"Wow, I thought Xu Beichen was just overrated, but looking at his spatial abilities, I feel like he's been underestimated."

Tommy of the Myron Mercenary Group said with a shocked expression.

"Rumor has it that he broke through to the Super Rank at the age of twenty-two, and his current cultivation level is absolutely unfathomable. Most importantly, he also has a very powerful forbidden spell teacher."

Kuma sighed with deep emotion, saying that compared to such a genius, they, as super-level mages, were utterly insignificant.

The latest novel is first published here!

If Xu Beichen were merely a chef with special skills, he could never have achieved such great success and honors.

They might even become tools of powerful forces; reality is just that cruel.

However, given the number of forbidden spell masters behind Xu Beichen, no force dares to offend him easily.

Just then, Xu Beichen suddenly stopped and reached out to stop Lingling.

"What's wrong?" Lingling asked.

"There are demons." Xu Beichen said calmly.

"demon?!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Mailong Mercenary Group were stunned for a moment, then looked around, but found no trace of any demons.

"There are no demons here, you must be seeing things."

"Hong Shiliu could arrive at any time, so we'd better hurry up."

Kuma ignored what these people were saying and instead went up to Xu Beichen, asking, "Mr. Xu, where is this demon you're talking about?"

Xu Beichen simply pointed upwards.

Kuma immediately looked toward the rock walls on both sides of the rift. After observing carefully for a while, he quickly discovered something unusual: some spiders with colors similar to the rock walls were lurking there!

"Prepare for battle!"

After Kuma saw it clearly, he immediately shouted to the group.

"Fight back? Where are there any demons around here?"

Tommy looked around but didn't see any signs of demons.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look at the rock face!" Kuma yelled, his temper flaring.

The mercenaries looked at the rock walls on both sides and sure enough, they saw several spiders in some recesses or protrusions.

"My God, it's a Desert Bone-Eating Spider!" a mercenary shouted.

"Damn, if the captain hadn't spotted us beforehand, we might have been ambushed," Jiang Yu said, still a little shaken.

Under Kuma's command, the Mailong Mercenary Group immediately protected Xu Beichen and his group, fulfilling their previous promise.
