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

Chapter 25: The Wyvern's Nest, Target: Dragon Eggs

"Telekinesis!"

Just as the sharp fangs were about to bite the female mage in half, an invisible force grabbed the dark blue crocodile demon in mid-air and then flung it far to the other side.

Everyone stared at Xu Beichen in astonishment, only his eyes gleaming with a silver light.

Space-based!!

Generally, only high-level mages have a chance to awaken the space element, which means that this young mage is actually a high-level mage.

Dongfang Ling and Mu Qing were both horrified. They knew that Xu Beichen majored in fire and minored in chaos, and had risen to the top of the fire ranking in just one year.

Even so, they were still very shocked when they saw this scene.

Xu Beichen is younger than them, at most nineteen or twenty years old.

They had never even heard of such a young high-level mage!

After throwing the Ink Blue Crocodile Demon far away, Xu Beichen used his spatial power to widen the cracks in the ice, allowing the female mage to escape.

Although Xu Beichen had only been cultivating the spatial system for a short time, his mental power was at the third level, and he was completely adept at using telekinesis.

"I never expected that Boss Xu would also be a high-level mage. I really didn't realize that," Mu Ye said with a smile.

"Hehe, I was just lucky, it's nothing to mention," Xu Beichen replied casually.

After the female mage reached the other side, she didn't complain much, but simply thanked Xu Beichen a few times.

"The Ink Blue Crocodile Demon is coming! Everyone, proceed according to your previous team formations!" the middle-aged hunter mage shouted.

After the ice broke, more than a dozen dark blue crocodile demons climbed onto the ice, and their numbers continued to increase.

After reaching adulthood, the Ink Blue Crocodile Demons progress to the Advancement Stage or the Warrior General Stage, with some reaching the Warrior General Stage. Their sharp teeth are powerful enough to pierce through armored demonic artifacts.

However, apart from a few high-level mages, the weakest member of the team is a mid-level level three mage, capable of dealing with a general-level demon on his own.

Although Mu Qing and Dongfang Ling have not broken through to the high-level, their contracted beasts have grown to the level of generals.

Dongfang Ling's Fiery Lion is almost at the advanced stage, and it can kill a Dark Blue Crocodile Demon with a single swipe of its claw.

Once they left the river, these dark blue crocodile demons were no match for the combined strength of the group. After only a few minutes of fighting, the remaining dark blue crocodile demons fled in panic.

After providing basic treatment to the wounded, the group continued their journey, winding around several mountains before finally arriving at a valley.

The valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a gap of five or six meters on the south side. Led by Mu Ye and the middle-aged hunter mage, the group arrived at the gap.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~!!!!"

Just as everyone was preparing to enter the valley, a sudden gale began to blow, and the intense air pressure caused panic among the crowd.

In an instant, a dark figure descended from the sky, like a huge black curtain covering everyone's heads.

As everyone looked up, the enormous wings were astonishingly wide, and each flap of their wings stirred up a howling wind, like a black storm sweeping down.

The dragon scales on its enormous body were a deep black, each the size of a millstone, arranged closely together, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

The enormous head resembled a black fortress, and its huge pupils seemed to be burning with golden flames. Just a glance from afar was enough to send chills down one's spine.

The black dragon did not notice them and flew directly from the sky into the valley.

The tremors on the ground only brought everyone back to their senses after the black dragon had completely entered the valley.

"How could a sub-dragon appear in this place?!"

Dongfang Ling exclaimed in surprise. The oppressive feeling just now almost made him breathless. This was at least a sub-dragon of the monarch level or above!

The others also showed expressions of fear; even all of them combined were no match for this dragon.

"Don't panic. According to the information I have, this dragon was in a major battle not long ago and is now seriously injured. Moreover, she has just laid her dragon egg and is in her weakest stage."

Although Mu Ye appeared very calm, there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

If this dragon were at its peak, there would be no difference between high-level and mid-level mages; they could both take it down with a single claw.

"Dragon egg!"

Xu Beichen suddenly realized why the Mu family was willing to spend 500 million, but they were so comfortable letting Mu Ye do this task.

In the end, Mu Ye was just a high-level mage, nothing in front of this black dragon.

Or rather, this task was created by Mu Ye all by himself.

Otherwise, given the Mu family's power, they wouldn't have only sent Mu Ye, a high-level mage; the other high-level mages were all there for the bounty.

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, a burly man punched Mu Ye hard, swelling his face.

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

If the middle-aged hunter mage hadn't stopped him, Mu Ye might have been disfigured.

However, in the magical world, disfigurement can be treated.

"That's a dragon! You bastard, are you trying to send us to our deaths?" the burly man shouted angrily.

Mu Ye stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said coldly:

"I spent 500 million, and you only took this mission because you weren't after the bounty. Stop spouting nonsense. Aren't you hunters just risking your lives for money?"

Upon hearing this, all the hunter mages fell silent; they were indeed all hoping to take a chance.

"Whoever brings out the dragon egg will get half of the 500 million bounty, and the other half will be split equally among the others!" Mu Ye continued.

The hunter mages looked at each other, some timid and hesitant, others with gleaming eyes, none of them willing to be the first to step forward.

Those monks who had given up did not choose to leave. Although they were afraid, they all hoped that someone would step forward.

Once someone takes out the dragon egg, the others can share the remaining half, so at least the trip won't be in vain.

"I knew there was something wrong with this mission. If I hadn't been with you, I definitely wouldn't have come."

Dongfang Ling crossed his arms and looked at Mu Qing, his face full of displeasure.

"I was wondering why he didn't seek help from the clan, but now it makes sense," Mu Qing said helplessly.

If Mu Ye can obtain the dragon egg, his status in the Mu family will inevitably rise sharply, perhaps even reaching a core position, paving the way for him to take over the Mu family in the future.

"Old Jiang, could you handle that Yalong just now?" Xu Beichen asked Jiang Shaojun beside him.

"If it is really seriously injured, that's not a problem," Jiang Shaojun said.

Although he was only a dual-elemental super-tier, his main skill was mental magic, and with the strongest single-target super-tier magic—the Demon Slayer Sword—dealing with an injured adult dragon was not a problem.

Xu Beichen rubbed his chin. It was too much of a loss to deal with a sub-dragon that was close to a monarch for the sake of the 500 million bounty. He had a better idea.
