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

The next day.

Nan Jue glanced at Xu Beichen beside her, her cheeks unusually flushed.

For some reason, the more I look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

"Ahem, I'll take responsibility," Xu Beichen said proactively.

I have to say, last night's experience was really great. Although Nan Jue's figure isn't perfect, her advantages are very obvious, and her long legs are absolutely stunning.

Her legs are perfectly shaped, without a single flaw, second only to Xin Xia's beautiful legs.

"You don't need to go to the military headquarters. You can still protect China by staying in Beichen Pavilion," Xu Beichen continued.

"This... I need to think about it." Nan Jue's face showed a conflicted expression.

After a brief conversation, the two left the tent. By then, the Mairon Mercenary Group was already packing up to continue their journey.

As soon as the two came out of the tent, Kuma walked towards them.

"Mr. Xu, thank you so much for your help. My cultivation has improved a lot," Kuma said with a happy expression.

"It's just a transaction," Xu Beichen said casually.

At this moment, Kuma noticed that something was wrong with Nan Jue next to Xu Beichen, and quickly realized what was going on.

Given Mr. Xu's status and position, it's perfectly normal for beautiful women to throw themselves at him.

"The others are almost ready. Should we wait until you finish breakfast?" Kumar asked.

"No need, let's set off first," Xu Beichen said.

"Oh well."

Kuma glanced at Nan Jue with envy, then returned to the Mailong Mercenary Group and led the team forward.

Following Xu Beichen's side, I can easily break through to the forbidden spell in the future. It couldn't be happier.

Following the route pioneered by Hong Shiliu, the group successfully emerged from the desert layer and gradually entered the meadow layer with moss and cold grass.

The meadow layer means that the land above them is covered with a thick alpine meadow. Looking out, there is mostly green mountains and fields, which is ethereal, holy, beautiful and magnificent!

Because the Myron Mercenary Group is located in the Great Rift Valley, they cannot witness this spectacular scenery.

The terrain of the Great Rift Valley in the meadow layer is significantly more open, and in some places it can even resemble a valley, basin, or low-lying grassland, which also inherits the characteristics of the meadow layer.

The Great Rift Valley, with its meadow layer, initially consisted of vegetation that clearly grew in low-lying areas.

But as you continue deeper into the area, you'll find that even the cliffs overhead and on either side are covered in vegetation.

Some of the large-leaved climbing grasses are so dense that they resemble a wall, and you might think you've entered a dead end if you don't get close.

Areas covered with vegetation do indeed attract more organisms, including more poisonous species.

Having finally escaped the desert layer, one should be overjoyed.

But once you enter this more complex territory, your nerves can't help but tense up.

When they were in the desert layer, the monsters that the Mairon mercenary group encountered were not only the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders.

They encountered many predatory groups along the way, but they were all repelled by the groups working together, and they did not encounter too much trouble.

However, the rift valley landform in the desert layer is relatively simple, mainly consisting of rocks, sand, cliffs, and rock fissures.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer demons living there.

This meadow layer becomes more diverse, and the species of monsters that inhabit it will be more diverse and their numbers will obviously be much larger.

"There are quite a few corpses ahead," said Tommy, who was in charge of finding the way.

"What's so strange about a corpse?" said Gavin, the commissar.

"It's a human corpse."

"Oh, that's not strange at all."

Gavin remained unconcerned. Casualties were perfectly normal in the Tianshan Mountains; his own Mailong mercenary group had suffered just as many casualties.

"These people weren't washed away by the torrent; they must have tried to escape it like us, but we don't know why they died."

Tommy glanced at the deputy commander, Kuma, and then spoke.

"They were killed by some demon, I suppose," Gavin said impatiently.

"No obvious signs of death were found."

"Perhaps it's poison," Kuma said.

"Yes, I think so too. Since they died on our way, it means we might encounter them again in the future," Tommy said.

Upon hearing this, Kuma thought for a moment and then came to stand in front of Xu Beichen.

"Mr. Xu, there's been a slight problem up ahead, perhaps there's some danger. Do you really not need to send more people to help you?" Kumar said.

Kuma didn't genuinely want to protect Xu Beichen; rather, even the slightest mishap to Xu Beichen would be unbearable for their Mailong Mercenary Group.

The latest novel is first published here!

"No need, just take care of yourselves," Xu Beichen said.

Xu Beichen could guess how these people died. Most likely, they suffered from altitude sickness and were then abandoned by the team, left to fend for themselves.

Although it's harsh, in a place like the Tianshan Mountains, no team wants to bring along any burdens.

"Oh well."

Kuma returned to the front of the group and continued leading the way.

Before they had gone far, Xu Beichen and his group saw several frozen corpses.

"These people don't have any wounds on them. Could they have frozen to death?" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but ask.

"These people are high-level mages, after all. They shouldn't have frozen to death so easily," Mo Fan retorted.

Although a mage's physique cannot compare to that of a demon, the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's physique will be to some extent.

At this moment, Lingling had already put on gloves and a mask and carefully examined the body.

"The cause of death was suffocation, but I can't find what caused the suffocation," Lingling said.

"Perhaps it was poisoning and suffocation," Nan Jue said.

"It's not poison, but a phenomenon specific to the Tianshan Mountains. You could call it a curse, but it's actually more like altitude sickness, though it's much more complicated."

Xu Beichen didn't hide anything and explained the situation to everyone directly.

"What?"

Nan Jue was stunned for a moment, then realized that this did indeed seem like death by suffocation caused by altitude sickness.

"Everyone's constitution is different. Some people don't adapt well to the climate and environment of Tianshan. You could call it a curse," Xu Beichen explained.

Altitude sickness alone is unlikely to kill a mage, but this is the Tianshan Mountains, fraught with danger.

Most importantly, human nature cannot withstand the test.

Those who dare to rush into this area are basically all after the Tian Shan Snow Lotus. How could they possibly give up such a treasure just because of a few people?

The Tianshan Mountains are a place where opportunities and dangers coexist. If you choose to enter the Tianshan Mountains, you must be prepared to accept the worst possible outcome.

As for abandoning teammates, opinions vary; some people cannot accept it, while others think it is only natural.

For Xu Beichen, some people had to be saved, while others were completely ignored. (End of Chapter)
