Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 33 Azure Sky Hunting Grounds

Shanghai, JA District.

Chu Ming arrived at the entrance of a long-established hunting lodge.

At first glance

This store is more like an old-fashioned teahouse that combines Chinese and English elements.

But the old shop's signboard.

The four large characters, "Qingtian Hunting Ground," are clearly written on it.

"Hello, is anyone here?" Chu Ming strode into the shop and saw a bald old man smoking a pipe behind the counter. His eyes lit up, and he asked, "You must be Grandpa Bao!"

The bald old man sized up Chu Ming, finding him somewhat familiar, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"Grandpa, my name is Chu Ming, and I'm here for an interview to become a Hunter Mage."

"Chu Ming? His surname is Chu?"

Old Man Bao frowned and looked at Chu Ming carefully for a second.

Suddenly, he thought of someone and laughed.

"Haha, kid, I remember now, your dad is Chu Tianjiao, right?"

"Your nose and eyes are exactly the same as your dad's when he was young."

"Given your background, you must have been an expert in the ways of a hunter mage since you were a child."

"You can start working immediately; you don't need an interview."

Old Bao patted Chu Ming on the shoulder and called out to the hunting lodge, "Lingling, your new partner has been found."

soon.

A little girl with a ponytail came out holding a comic book, looking at Chu Ming suspiciously: "My grandpa said that at my age, you've already started hunting slave-level demons, is that true?"

"Well, my teammates were the ones holding the line, so I just took the opportunity to finish off enemies and clean up their corpses."

Seeing the little girl scrutinizing him like a little adult, Chu Ming was both amused and exasperated, and gave a casual explanation.

"You're pretty good. These days, many young mages tremble and panic when they see demons, and they don't even dare to cast spells." Lingling nodded in satisfaction.

Just then.

A travel-worn, flustered young woman walked into the store.

"Grandpa, there's work to be done!"

Lingling's eyes lit up when she saw the young woman's expensive clothes, and she called out to the old man on the other side.

Ten minutes passed.

After the young woman poured out her heart...

Chu Ming's first job after joining Qing Tian Hunting Agency has come in!

……

It was evening.

Night is about to fall.

Chu Ming and Lingling arrived at the masterpiece's private garden.

"It's almost dark. Where's the secret technique you mentioned?" Chu Ming asked with a smile.

With a lollipop in her mouth, Lingling handed the miniature laptop to Chu Ming.

On a laptop.

Two images were displayed: one was a lavishly decorated living room, and the other was a nursery, with a countdown timer in the upper right corner.

It was the surveillance footage from the client's home.

Chu Ming glanced at Lingling in surprise.

This little girl is really amazing.

They even hacked into other people's home security cameras.

They also use hacking techniques.

No wonder he's a Hunter Master at such a young age.

Lingling put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "How about that? Aren't I amazing? I can act immediately once I detect something unusual."

talking.

She then took the lead and headed up the stairwell towards the top floor of the building.

The two went to the rooftop.

Lingling kept an eye on the screen and soon noticed something was wrong.

"Something's wrong, Chu Ming, come take a look!"

On the screen, the man's expression began to contort, his mouth opening and closing as if he were cursing something.

Lingling quickly pressed a few keys.

The sound came from the living room.

"That annoying little thing... I'm going to eat him... Eat him... and then it'll be quiet!"

A series of hoarse growls came from the man's mouth, sending chills down one's spine.

"Chu Ming, what do we do next?"

"You just said that woman had a demonic aura, but now it seems the male homeowner is acting strangely too!"

Lingling looked somewhat anxious.

At this moment, the male protagonist on the screen had a ferocious expression, slowly stood up, and kept drooling.

"Have you forgotten? You're the captain." Chu Ming joked, seeing Lingling acting like a little adult.

Lingling's eyes widened, and she bit into the lollipop in her mouth, quickly saying, "Oh dear, that doesn't matter anymore, we have to hurry over there, we're going to be late!"

Chu Ming calmly rubbed Lingling's little head.

"Don't panic, there's still plenty of time."

"I'll handle it."

"Gengar, go ahead, it's up to you!"

The words fell.

Lingling heard a "heh heh" laugh, and a dark shadow burst forth with incredible speed, sweeping past layers of shadows and darting toward the target's balcony.

at the same time.

A roar came from the screen again.

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

The man in the hall has been completely demonized.

He kept scratching his skin with both hands.

A large patch of skin peeled off, revealing the dense scales underneath.

Yellow-green viscous liquid droplets fell to the ground.

Extremely disgusting.

The man shed his skin as he walked toward the child's room.

It seems to still be adapting to the shedding process, and its movements are very slow.

"They're parasitic demons." Lingling's eyes were sharp. "It seems that this couple has been completely parasitized."

……

At this point, Gengar had already arrived at the scene.

A dense mass of shadow power spread throughout the room.

A shadowy figure in the night!

hum!

The molting male demon was swept away by the shadowy figure of the night and fell to the ground, howling in pain.

And the oppressive fear emanating from the sub-leader.

This prevented him from having any thought of resistance whatsoever.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, specks of will-o'-the-wisp suddenly lit up and landed on the molting male demon!

He screamed in agony.

It tore at the skin on the body once again.

His face began to ulcerate, which quickly spread to his entire body, causing him excruciating pain, as if he had entered purgatory.

Soon, the layer of bluish-yellow scales on his body was completely torn off.

During the struggle, the man eventually fell into a coma.

However, judging from his complexion, he was not severely infected and had already returned to a normal human state.

Suddenly, Lingling called out urgently.

"That woman, she really is a demon!!"

"She's out, looks like she's trying to escape!!"

At that moment, a female demon rushed out of the bathroom.

Gengar turned around.

With its senses, it had already discovered the other demon in the bathroom.

Of course, it was impossible for her to escape right under our noses.

Ghost fire!

Deal with some dark creatures.

Fire-type powers can exert a good burning and restraining effect.

The streak of fire flashed out at lightning speed.

A wave of extremely repulsive fire magic struck, and the banshee hurriedly headed towards the window, preparing to jump out and escape.

20,000 volts!

Boom!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled.

Streaks of lightning flashed and intertwined at an even faster speed, forming an electric net that enveloped the molting banshee.

"Ah! Ah!!"

The banshee let out a painful wail.

Despite her face being covered in scales, she could still be roughly identified as the young woman who had come to the hunting lodge to be given a task.

However, despite suffering such a severe blow, she still did not reveal her true form.

"This woman's infection level is much higher than her husband's; she is likely the source of the infection."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
