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

"Why did we stop again? With this stop-and-go, when will we ever reach our destination?" Zhao Manyan asked.

Ai Jiangtu went ahead to check the situation, and soon returned to the group with a serious expression.

"Some mercenaries have experienced physical discomfort, and some have even suffocated, which has affected the team's progress," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Aren't these mercenaries just like the previous corpses? What do they plan to do with them?" Mo Fan asked.

Ai Jiangtu paused for a moment, then said with a somewhat grim expression, "Let them move freely."

To put it nicely, it's really just about throwing them out of the group.

Leaving the team in this environment will most likely end up like those corpses.

"Mercenaries are mercenaries. In their eyes, completing the mission is always the top priority. Moreover, they have already signed a death waiver before they come, so even if they die, the bounty will go to their families."

Jiang Yu said very calmly.

This world is undoubtedly cruel; mages die every day.

Since you've chosen to embark on an adventure in the Tianshan Mountains, you should be prepared for it.

"Let's not meddle in their business. It's their choice, and we don't need to interfere," Xu Beichen said calmly.

In fact, for Xu Beichen, saving these people was a simple matter, but in his eyes, there was no need to save them at all.

Why bother with all that?

Ai Jiangtu sighed. Since the captain had said so, he shouldn't meddle.

After several mercenaries left the group, the team ahead began to speed up, seemingly trying to shake off the others completely.

As the altitude gradually increases, the oxygen becomes increasingly thinner.

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

Guan Yu suddenly realized that his nose was blocked, so he switched to breathing through his mouth.

"Guanyu, you didn't get infected too, did you?"

"Brother Xu, how about we just leave this guy behind like those mercenaries did?"

Zhao Manyan was the first to notice Guan Yu's unusual behavior and made a lame joke that sent a chill down Guan Yu's spine.

"I'm... I'm fine," Guan Yu said hurriedly.

"Old Zhao, look how scared you've made him."

Mo Fan elbowed Zhao Manyan in an annoyed tone, then looked at Guan Yu and said, "Guan Yu, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm having trouble breathing, I'm so tired, it's so hard to breathe."

Guan Yu's steps were a little unsteady. He sat down on the moss beside him, and then his lungs began to rise and fall dramatically.

At this moment, Ai Jiangtu, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly said, "I'm not feeling too well either."

"Me too," Lingling said weakly.

Xu Beichen immediately turned around and saw that Lingling's face was as white as frost and snow, and her little lips were opening and closing, like a stranded little fish trying very hard to breathe.

Upon seeing this, Xu Beichen immediately hugged her and took out a pastry from his spatial ring, stuffing it directly into Lingling's little mouth.

Lingling puffed out her little mouth and glared at Xu Beichen with her beautiful eyes. "Don't you know how to divide it into pieces? You stuffed it all in at once!"

Before long, Lingling's breathing gradually returned to normal thanks to the nourishment from the pastries.

Xu Beichen didn't forget Ai Jiangtu and Guan Yu either, giving each of them a pastry.

This pastry is made by combining some medicinal herbs and the meat of ice-attribute soul beasts, and it can remove certain negative effects.

After eating the pastries, Ai Jiangtu and Guan Yu both showed expressions of shock.

This effect is amazing!

"Captain, what do we do with them?"

Ai Jiangtu pointed to the Mailong Mercenary Group's team, where more than twenty mercenaries had already shown symptoms.

"Old Ai, don't just give away your kindness so easily. These pastries of mine are quite valuable." Xu Beichen patted Ai Jiangtu on the shoulder.

In fact, these pastries were just a drop in the ocean for Xu Beichen, but he didn't have many in his spatial ring either.

Even if there really are that many, these mercenaries might not be willing to pay after being rescued.

"Alright then." Ai Jiangtu looked somewhat helpless, though he understood the situation.

"Brother Xu, I suddenly feel a little unwell, can I have some too?"

At this moment, Zhao Manyan came running over excitedly, smiling as he spoke.

"Get lost," Xu Beichen said decisively.

The latest novel is first published here!

This guy doesn't feel any discomfort at all; he clearly wants to take precautions in advance.

At that moment, Kuma seemed to have seen this scene, and after thinking for a moment, he walked over.

Mr. Xu

Before Kuma could finish speaking, Xu Beichen interjected, "We can give it to you, but it's ten million per share, no bargaining."

This pastry also uses soul beast meat, which is a good opportunity to earn some points.

"Ten million"

Kuma opened his mouth. The other mercenaries came here risking their lives for money, and now a large portion of their earnings are going to be taken away. Would they really be willing to do that?

Kumar couldn't possibly pay for it himself, so he had to inform everyone about it.

Upon hearing that the price was ten million, some people immediately started shouting that they would rather die than pay that money.

However, some people readily agreed to pay up, as saving one's life is clearly the wisest choice in this situation.

In the end, about seventeen or eighteen mercenaries chose to pay, some even pooling their money.

There were also three mercenaries who would rather die than pay the money. To these people who were willing to die, Xu Beichen could only say that they should pray for their own good fortune.

The mercenaries who bought the pastries on their own recovered quickly, and those who ate half a pastry also recovered most of their strength.

As for the three mercenaries who didn't buy pastries, they were naturally kicked out of the Mailong Mercenary Group.

Only then did they begin to regret their actions, but it was too late.

The meadow layer has even more monsters, and their kinds are even more bizarre. In addition to being careful of those monsters and demons, you also need to be extra careful of those plant-type monsters!

Plant-type demons are impossible to guard against; once you encounter a ferocious creature, it will devour you without spitting out the bones.

In an ecosystem like the Tianshan Mountains, every rare and precious treasure comes with danger. The members of the Mailong Mercenary Group survived only by being extremely cautious.

As for other hunter groups, mercenary groups, and mage organizations, they were not so lucky.

However, along the way, thanks to Lingling's rich hunting experience, she found a lot of valuable treasures, which at least helped the mercenaries who paid ten million to recover some of their losses.

They cautiously panned for gold along the way, and as they were about to leave the rich meadow layer, the mercenaries were actually a little reluctant to leave.

The true treasures of the Tianshan Mountains lie hidden in the high mountain and glacial layers, a pristine land untouched by any destruction or exploitation.

The thought of making such a fortune just in the meadow layer made the mercenary group even more eager to explore the higher reaches of the Tianshan Mountains.

But they clearly forgot one thing: opportunity comes with danger, and the road ahead will only become more perilous. How many mercenaries will ultimately survive remains to be seen. (End of Chapter)
