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

Chapter 24 Dark Blue Crocodile Monster

Just as Xu Beichen was chatting with Mu Qing and Dongfang Ling, Mu Ye suddenly walked over. His handsome face had a gentle smile on it, but his brows revealed a hint of arrogance.

"Young Master," Mu Qing replied hastily.

Xu Beichen carefully examined the eldest young master of the Mu family; he appeared to be around twenty-four years old.

Anyone who breaks through to the advanced level before the age of twenty-five can be considered a genius, but this person has the backing of the Mu family, so reaching the advanced level at such a young age can only be described as mediocre.

"Didn't I already say that you can just call me brother from now on, Mu Qing?"

Mu Ye showed that he valued Mu Qing very much. Although Mu Qing was only from a collateral branch, he had outstanding talent and had also contracted a demon beast with a commander-level bloodline.

The Mu family is now placing great importance on nurturing Mu Qing. Even if Mu Qing doesn't break through to the Super Rank in the future, he will still be a powerful summoner.

"Brother Mu Ye."

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, but still called out after a while.

"Is this the Mr. Xu we mentioned before?"

Mu Ye glanced at Xu Beichen standing next to Mu Qing, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He had heard that Mu Qing's contracted beast was purchased from this Boss Xu.

Mu Qing glanced at Xu Beichen first, and only after seeing him nod did she say, "That's right."

"I heard that Boss Xu is doing business with the Dongfang family. Why not approach our Mu family? What the Dongfang family can provide, my Mu family can provide as well," Mu Ye said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ling, who was standing behind Mu Qing, looked displeased.

Are you treating me like I don't exist?

"Hehe, the Mu family can talk business, but let's find someone more decisive first," Xu Beichen said calmly.

If you want to accumulate hundreds of thousands of points in a short time, relying solely on the Dongfang Family is definitely not enough.

The Mu family is also a very suitable choice, but Xu Beichen does not want to discuss it with the eldest son of the Mu family; he is not qualified.

Mu Ye's face darkened. He had participated in several family decisions and would become the patriarch of the Mu family in the future, yet this person said he was not qualified.

"Since Boss Xu has said so, I will discuss it with the elders when I get back."

Mu Ye did not lose his mind because of a single sentence; he still needed to demonstrate his abilities to gain the support of the clan elders.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mu Ye turned and called out to the group, "Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"

Apart from Xu Beichen, Lingling, and Jiang Shaojun, the team consists of about twenty people, and the average bounty is over twenty million.

Of course, there are several high-level mages among these twenty people, and they will definitely take the lion's share of the bounty.

After leaving Anjie, the group headed north, crossing countless mountains, and finally stopped in front of a river.

"There is a monster in this river called the Ink Blue Crocodile Demon. Not only is its bite force incredibly strong, but it is also very difficult to spot when it lies hidden underwater. Everyone, please be very careful."

After a very experienced middle-aged hunter mage stopped everyone, he began to explain.

Just as everyone was preparing to investigate, Mu Ye stepped forward and said to the middle-aged hunter mage:

"Why stop? I didn't spend a lot of money to treat you to sightseeing. It's just a mere crocodile demon, not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this, all the hunter mages were stunned. They never expected this young master to say such a thing. Clearly, his gentle appearance was just a facade.

"Is this the eldest young master of your Mu family?"

Dongfang Ling was already somewhat annoyed with Mu Ye, and upon seeing this scene, she immediately began to complain to Mu Qing beside her.

Mu Qing smiled awkwardly; of course he knew what kind of temper this young master had.

They looked down on him before he entered the main campus, but now their attitude has completely changed.

In Mu Ye's eyes, everything is based on self-interest, and his cold-blooded side is revealed when there is no profit to be gained.

Xu Beichen remained calm, as he had some understanding of Mu Ye.

In the original story, when the Mu family was mining the fire vein, he even planned to have the mages try it one by one, completely disregarding their lives.

Mu Ye and the middle-aged hunter mage quickly came up with a plan: have several ice mages freeze the river, and then the team would rush across to the other side in one go.

"This plan is far too hasty."

Jiang Shaojun frowned. This river was at least fifty meters wide, and not all mages possessed wind magic or magical artifacts.

If someone falls behind, the danger level will rise sharply.

"With the bite force of the Ink Blue Crocodile Demon, the ice surface they create is as fragile as paper."

As a master demon hunter, Lingling also has some knowledge of the Ink Blue Crocodile Demon.

"This is not something we can control. Lingling, come up on my back first," Xu Beichen said to Lingling.

Although Lingling often eats the meat of soul beasts and develops faster than her peers, she is still just an ordinary person and is no match for demons.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After carrying Lingling on his back, Xu Beichen said to Jiang Shaojun, "Keep an eye on what's behind you, something unexpected might happen."

Jiang Shaojun nodded. Even if Xu Beichen hadn't said anything, given his personality, he would definitely have saved him.

Led by the middle-aged hunter mage, the ice mages began to freeze the ice surface. With a high-level ice mage present, the freezing process went very smoothly.

Once the ice surface leading directly to the other side appeared, everyone rushed across with all their might, and the mages without wind magic or magical artifacts quickly fell behind.

"Crack!!!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of ice cracking came from behind, and dark blue objects, like blades, easily sliced ​​through the ice.

Xu Beichen glanced back and saw a long, flat mouth covered with sharp teeth—it was the Ink Blue Crocodile Demon!

What a terrifying bite force!

If it were a mage, they would probably be torn to shreds in an instant!

"Help!"

A female mage got her leg stuck in a crack in the ice and couldn't pull it out, so she had to ask others for help.

The other hunter mages only glanced at it before turning their attention back and continuing to run towards the other side, not caring about anyone else at that moment.

By this time, most of the mages had reached the other side, but they hesitated to make a move.

Because if the ice surface is damaged, everyone else still on the ice will also perish!

Seeing this, Jiang Shaojun decisively used his mental power to try to control the nearest dark blue crocodile demon.

But as if it had a premonition, the dark blue crocodile demon dived directly under the ice, causing Jiang Shaojun to lose sight of its target for a moment.

"It's hopeless."

The middle-aged hunter-mage sighed. Although letting things go unchecked was cruel, they had no other choice.

"Get ready for battle. These dark blue crocodile demons will come ashore again. They will never give up their prey easily," the middle-aged hunter mage continued.

The female mage, whose calf was stuck in the gap, looked despairing when she saw that they had no intention of helping her.

"Gagaga!!!!"

The sound of ice shattering grew closer, and suddenly the sharp fangs of a dark blue crocodile demon shot out from her side.

"Telekinesis!"
