Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Did he sense his powerful aura and try to run away?

If I were weaker, then the other person would be enjoying the food.

Fault!

After that tiger demon, Cao Le encountered a few more familiar demons, and then everything went smoothly.

The lesser demons who encountered him have now turned into remnants of their souls, which have been absorbed and are floating around the necromancy system.

night...

After lighting a pile of firewood, Cao Le was resting when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Judging from the sound, it should be human footsteps?

After thinking for a moment, he got up and went into the dark forest to the side, then turned into a shadow and returned to a big tree there.

When training in the wild, one should always be wary of others.

As he finished everything, several people came over.

"Brother, look, there really is a fire here," a burly man said, pointing to the flames as he walked at the front.

“Xiaofeng is right, brother. Look, this guy seems to have noticed that we just left,” another bald man said.

"Hmph, it must have been the third brother who leaked the information. Let's go, we'll travel through the night. That earth-type soul seed is definitely top-grade, it can sell for at least eight or nine hundred million. We absolutely can't let that bastard get there first," said the man in the middle.

"Big brother, what if the third brother secretly brings other people here?" the burly man asked again.

"Hmph, then don't blame us for not showing brotherly affection. After all, he was the one who left the group first," the bald man said coldly.

"Second Brother is right. Besides, this is the wilderness, so we'll handle it the usual way. Although Third Brother isn't here this time, it will be more difficult to break through that swamp. But Fourth Brother, just think about how long you'll be happy if the three of us really get that Soul Seed?" the leading man said, looking at the burly man.

"Hehe... Big brother is right."

The burly man wiped his mouth, then said in a lewd tone, "I recently met a girl at an ordinary university, I think she's studying medicine or nursing. With this money, I can keep her as a mistress for life..."

The three of them, each lost in their own joy, then continued on their way.

Cao Le, who was listening to their conversation from the tree, also had a sudden flash of inspiration!

A top-tier Earth-type Soul Seed!?

If this is true, then this trip was definitely worthwhile.

As the saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food."

Now that he'd encountered it, he certainly wouldn't let it pass him by.

A naturally born soul seed is an unclaimed possession; if you happen to encounter one, why should you give it to someone else?

All three were quite strong, all being high-level mages, especially the leader, who had the highest cultivation level.

Come to think of it, how could you possibly leave the Qinling Mountains alive without some kind of strength?

The danger level here is not high at present, but who would have thought that there are more than just two or three powerful demons in the Qinling Mountains?

They walked from night until dawn, then found a place where there were no demons nearby and began to rest....

It seems they rest during the day and act at night.

Seeing that they had started to rest, Cao Le also hid in a clump of grass to recuperate.

His shadow magic energy was being depleted almost continuously, but he couldn't withdraw it; doing so would make him easily detectable. Even though the forest was already quite dense, the magic energy consumption wasn't excessive, and given that it involved hundreds of millions, a little depletion wasn't a big deal.

...

The three of them took out their prepared dry rations, an iron pot, and bottled water; they were quite well-prepared, to be fair.

While Cao Le could only gnaw on compressed biscuits, the others were already enjoying cooked food. He hadn't felt anything before, but today the instant noodles were particularly tempting.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch... I'm eating cookies while you guys are enjoying soup and noodles!!!"

Although he was annoyed, Cao Le remained quietly where he was, munching on the dry biscuit...

This is a deal worth hundreds of millions!

After they finished eating and drinking, the two of them rested while the other took turns keeping watch.

Unfortunately, he could only stay awake.

Fortunately, mages have a much better constitution than ordinary people, so even if they don't rest for two or three days, they won't become too weak or powerless. Of course, it's definitely not as good as getting enough sleep.

It can only be described as an extraordinary period...

In the evening, the three finished eating and drinking and continued their journey.

Cao Le continued to follow behind...

After two consecutive nights, they finally arrived at their destination.

This place is no longer a dense jungle, but a mud pit, and there seem to be hundreds of demons in this mud pit.

His perception was very strong; he even sensed the presence of demons at the commander level, but he didn't know exactly what kind of demons they were.

Moreover, looking at it from this angle, it's hard to imagine just how vast this mudflat truly is...

After the three arrived, the leader gave some instructions to the burly man, and then the man left.

The remaining two then took out cans of yellow liquid and poured them all into the mud.

Their continuous spraying of liquid attracted the attention of the creatures in the mud, and soon, huge bodies began to emerge from the mud.

Upon closer inspection, Cao Le discovered that they were actually sawtooth crocodiles, and each one was a warrior-level demon eight or nine meters long!

"Crash..."

"Splash...."

Even when the other party appeared, they still showed no sign of stopping. Not only that, the bald man also released wind-attribute magic.

With the help of wind magic, the yellow liquid was instantly spilled into the lake, and the saw-toothed crocodiles that were about to approach and attack were all blown back.

"Big brother, second brother are here! They're here!!"

Just then, the burly man who had left earlier came running over.

Behind him were two enormous, blood-red, fat bears, both of which were commander-level creatures!

Upon seeing the burly man approaching, the two men disregarded opening the jars and proceeded to destroy the bracelets containing the yellow liquid.

They poured all the liquid inside into the mud pit!

Immediately afterwards, the leader used shadow magic, as if he had some kind of auxiliary magical artifact?

In an instant, all three of them vanished from their original spot.

If Cao Le's shadow magic hadn't been so unique, it would have been really difficult to spot them.

After the two fat bears arrived, instead of looking for the burly man, they excitedly ventured into the muddy territory of the saw-toothed crocodile.

It seemed as if something there was drawing them both in.

Normally, these saw-toothed crocodiles wouldn't bother the other party, but since they've come to take over their territory today, they can't just stand by and watch.

Most importantly, the serrated green crocodile has also appeared...

...

161. Mutual slaughter

With the appearance of the serrated green crocodile, the gap in strength between the two sides has narrowed considerably, and a battle is imminent...

Cao Le was very curious about what exactly was that had attracted these two fat bears.

They stealthily approached.

The leader, hidden in the shadows, sneered, "I told you, as long as we have honey with mixed elemental energy stones, we'll definitely attract the attention of these fat bears. The expense is large, but attracting the Sawtooth Crocodile clan is worth it."

"Big brother, big brother... let's take advantage of this moment and charge!" the burly man said.

"Third brother, don't rush. As far as I know, there are at least three or four hundred saw-toothed crocodiles here, most of which are warrior-level. Let them cause a ruckus here first, then we'll go in," the man said, shaking his head.

"Brother, what if these two fat bears escape later?" the bald man asked.

"Heh... Don't worry, haven't you heard of the Raging Spring?" the man sneered.

"Big brother...you...you mean, the Black Church that caused chaos in the ancient capital and triggered a riot of the dead?" The bald man moved away somewhat fearfully.

"Second brother, what's with that expression? Do you think I'm a member of the Black Church?"

Seeing the two men's somewhat skeptical expressions, the leader explained further, "At least let me finish. This is a slightly inferior raging spring, but with the added allure of honey, it's an irresistible attraction for bear-like demons. Besides, we've been together for so many years; do you think I know any suspicious people?"

Only after he said that did the bald man breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the burly man, he didn't pay any attention to him at all.

All he cares about is making money; nothing else matters!

Cao Le, who was behind them, almost wanted to kill him just now.

Anyone from the Black Vatican will be killed on sight!

However, it now seems that this guy just got this information from somewhere and then found a corresponding solution.

It must be said that the hunter mages are quite experienced.

If it were me, I probably would have chosen to force my way in.

The battle between the demons over there had intensified, and just as the leader had guessed, a large number of saw-toothed crocodiles had gathered in a short time.

The two commander-level fat bears were agitated by the aura here and wanted to take over the place. Although the sawtooth crocodile clan was not affected, other demons were bullying them at their doorstep. Could they just cower and ignore them?

"The time has come, let's go, second brother!"

The leader shouted something.

The bald man quickly completed an earth-based star map, and under the cover of shadow magic, the three of them slid into the mud pit.

Cao Le had originally planned to seize it when they came out, but he was afraid there might be other entrances. Most importantly, one of them was an earth mage; if something went wrong, the soul seed would be lost.

Even though he thought about the suffering he had endured these past few days, he still chose to go with them.

However, he didn't possess earth magic and couldn't run across the mud. But with his Shadow Boots and the skateboard formed from the Dark Horcrux, he relentlessly pursued him.

Of course, he also used shadow magic to conceal himself, and he also used spatial magic.
