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

Chapter 90 The Curse of Evil

"The interior of this pillar of fire is hollow; one can enter directly from a crack at the base of the mountain..."

Under Zhao Chenying's guidance.

The group headed towards the summit of Fire Pillar Mountain via almost the best route.

Upon entering the crevice cave, everyone sensed that its interior clearly exhibited a winding upward trend, and along the way, they unexpectedly collected quite a few fragments of spirit seeds.

The group, using flashlights, continued their journey through the dark cave.

Suddenly, a sound like metal being struck came from deep within the cave.

"Clang! Clang!"

"Did you hear that...? It sounds like something?" Zhao Manyan looked around in surprise.

"What's the rush? You'll find out when you get to the end."

Chu Ming remained calm.

Upon entering this dark cave.

He then had Gengar release its domain power to sense the area and discovered that a type of lava elemental creature was living there.

If I'm not mistaken.

They are the ones making the noise now.

As they continued forward, the sounds from the pit grew louder and louder.

Suddenly, an elemental creature covered in lava emerged from the cave, its eyes gleaming with malevolence.

"It's a lava rock demon, a commander-level monster!"

Zhao Manyan, who had been on high alert, released light magic and saw the approaching creature clearly.

Mu Nujiao and the others entered a state of preparation for battle.

Lava Stone Demons are elemental creatures that live in volcanoes and possess extremely strong defensive capabilities.

"There's a ruler-level creature blocking our way. We need to defeat it to continue!" Mu Nujiao said solemnly.

The lava rock demon noticed Chu Ming and his companions and charged straight at them.

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

Chu Ming immediately summoned Gengar.

A dark shadow flashed by.

Gengar stared coldly at the charging Lava Golem.

Two dense clusters of shadow power were released.

LavaGreymon's physical defense is indeed strong, but it's as fragile as paper in the face of Gengar's Lord-level shadow power.

boom!

The lava rock demon's rock armor was pierced.

Then, the lava rock demon suddenly stopped moving and crashed down and shattered in front of everyone.

Everyone was on high alert, ready for a fierce battle.

Seeing this, they were all dumbfounded.

Not a buddy?

This was a commander-level demon, how could it be killed instantly?

Just how strong is that shadow demon?

The spatial power previously demonstrated by Mega Gengar was already breathtaking.

did not expect.

It also has such powerful destructive force.

Zhao Manyan was completely shocked.

An existence never before heard of.

What kind of contracted beast is this?

"Holy crap... Chu Ming... you're awesome!"

Zhao Manyan's eyes widened, and he gave a thumbs up with admiration.

Zhao Chenying's eyes were also filled with envy and admiration.

Chu Ming's gaze, however, was directed towards the depths of the cave.

Generally speaking, elemental beings are not very intelligent and will not take the initiative to attack unless they sense a threat intrusion.

"The noise this guy made at the beginning was probably a warning to us."

There should be something ahead.

soon.

The group arrived at a pit.

The surface was covered with lava, and countless sparks of magma were shooting out from the cracks.

At the very center of the pit, the pale yellow flames swayed on the ground like a half-ripe ear of wheat!

"It's a spirit seed flame!" Mu Nujiao exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Manyan looked ahead and realized something. "No wonder, so that guy was guarding the spirit seed?"

Because of their demonic nature, they cannot directly refine spirit seeds for their own use like humans can.

It is necessary to slowly absorb the energy emitted by the spirit seed.

Once one's body has become completely familiar with this spiritual seed.

Only then can the spirit seed be refined in one go.

This is a long process.

Therefore, once a spirit seed appears, if it is discovered by demons...

This demon will then transform into the guardian demon of that spirit species.

Chu Ming didn't wait for everyone to discuss it.

He then jumped into the pit filled with pale yellow flames.

He defeated the lava rock demon.

This was naturally his spoils of war.

"This spirit seed seems to be called Nirvana Fire, a high-grade flame used to forge magical tools. Some blacksmiths are very willing to pay a high price to buy it!" Lingling said after looking at it for a while.

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

Zhao Chenying glanced at the Nirvana Fire, not particularly interested. Seeing that the Lava Stone Demon had been dealt with, she urged the team to continue forward: "I think we shouldn't just focus on the Spirit Seeds. In fact, there are some extremely special natural treasures that, after undergoing the fire tribulation, have already met the requirements for flowering and bearing fruit..."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at Chen Ying, and felt more and more that her purpose was not as simple as she said.

"Chenying, now that we're all on the same team, feel free to share your plans," Ding Yumin said to Chenying.

"I don't have any plans... I just feel it's unnecessary to waste time on ordinary spirit seeds," Chen Ying shook her head and explained.

Her hesitant demeanor only fueled everyone's suspicions.

Especially Zhao Manyan, who brought her there.

Zhao Manyan frowned slightly, looked at Chen Ying, and said seriously, "I told you before we came that your teammates are trustworthy people. Since you are familiar with this place, it's normal to have your own thoughts. Just say what you want to say."

Seeing that Chen Ying still didn't intend to reveal anything, Ding Yumin's gaze met Chu Ming's, conveying her inner thoughts.

"She was very uneasy; there were still things she hadn't told us."

"It seems... they're plotting something famous?"

Ding Yumin's ethereal voice resonated in Chu Ming's mind.

"You can sense it?" Chu Ming asked.

Ding Yumin's voice rang out again: "Through this journey, constantly using my mental power, my perception has advanced. I can now hear other people's emotions and general thoughts, and occasionally I can even see some scenes from their past."

Surprise appeared in Chu Ming's eyes.

Listening to your inner voice and foreseeing the past?

Do people who have suffered mental illnesses still have this ability?

……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Zhao Chenying ultimately chose to remain silent.

Zhao Manyan was also helpless.

Chu Ming and Ding Yumin didn't sense any malice from her, so they assumed she had some unspeakable reason and didn't bother to ask any further questions.

So the group set off again.

We traveled for an hour.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Chu Ming turned around abruptly and looked in one direction.

It was discovered with shock.

There was a figure dressed in a gray robe watching them.

"This is a curse... and an aura of evil?"

I saw that figure.

For some reason, Chu Ming frowned slightly, thinking of Chao He and Luo Mian.

Ding Yumin also noticed Chu Ming's unusual behavior, turned her head to look, and also discovered something was wrong.

In that instant, she sensed the aura of resentment, slaughter, and the stench of evil and bloodshed.

"That guy is dangerous, and evil and bloodthirsty!"

Ding Yumin conveyed her feelings to Chu Ming's mind.

But at that moment...

Four figures emerged from beside the gray-robed figure. The middle-aged man at the head immediately recognized Zhao Manyan and Zhao Chenying.

"Zhao Manyan! Zhao Chenying! Who gave you permission to come here!"

A stern voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Manyan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking from the shadows in the distance. He exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle?!"

"Mother!" Zhao Chenying lowered her head slightly when she saw the man in gray robes.

See here.

Chu Ming and Ding Yumin exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing.
