Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"What did you find?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"It's not quite certain yet, but there's been a lot of noise coming from about seven or eight kilometers away," Nan Jue replied.

Then, she listened attentively once again...

After watching Nan Jue listen to the commotion, Cao Le suddenly realized something and said, "Damn... these cunning spiders haven't made a move yet, they're probably waiting for us to be buried!"

The group of people all looked at Cao Le at the same time.

Before anyone could ask, Nan Jue stopped listening anxiously and looked at Ai Jiangtu: "Ai Jiangtu, you have to tell the deputy commander immediately that we must find a long, reverse slope within half an hour, otherwise we will all be buried by the torrent of rocks... These desert bone-eating spiders want to wait until we are buried alive before digging us out of the pile of rocks and sand and eating us!"

This Tianshan Grand Canyon leads to a higher altitude area. The torrents rush down like a torrent, basically filling most of the narrow crevices. If a long, reverse slope cannot be found, there is no way for human beings to resist this terrifying impact.

While flying could help avoid the rockfall, however...

Avoiding Hong Shiliu might attract the Feathered Demon!

After all, the Feathered Demons are the least tolerant of humans flying at high altitudes; that would be a provocation to them.

As for hovering at low altitude, that is obviously not an easy task either. These high cliffs are home to a large number of desert bone-eating spiders, and you will be attacked by them as well.

At this moment, everyone understood why the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders hadn't made a move, but had simply followed them quietly. It was because they were inhabitants of this place, and they must be very familiar with the patterns of the Floodwaters. The reason they hadn't attacked the mercenary group was because they could use a simpler method to annihilate them: properly guarding the path the Floodwaters were bound to take!

If you can enjoy delicious food without any effort, there's no need to launch any attack.

Of course, the reason they followed them was simply because they didn't want them to leave. Once the humans left, there would be no more opportunities to harvest...

Ai Jiangtu told the deputy commander and the regimental commander about what had happened. When they learned that Hong Shiliu had arrived here in about half an hour, they were somewhat surprised.

Kuma was even more cunning, directly assigning the Ninth Division to clear the way.

"Damn it, why are we being made to be searchlights? Everyone knows this area is teeming with desert bone-eating spiders!" Zhao Manyan cursed angrily upon hearing this.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll be in front, you guys follow." Ai Jiangtu didn't care about any of that.

Now is not the time to worry about this; getting out of here is the safest option!

"Be careful, these desert bone-eating spiders might be only a few meters away from you, or even closer, before you can even cast a spell," Nan Jue warned Ai Jiangtu.

"It's alright, my reaction time is fast enough," Ai Jiangtu said confidently.

“I’ll follow behind Lao Ai. Who can take care of Lingling?” Mo Fan asked.

"Leave Lingling to me," Jiang Shaoxu said.

Cao Le stared blankly at Jiang Shaoxu, who looked like an octopus.

I really don't know how this woman could have the nerve to say something like that.

However, he did not refuse.

To be honest, she's his sister-in-law, so he needs to be mindful of her safety.

Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan led the way, and as soon as the Ninth Squad set off, the entire Mailong Mercenary Group followed, maintaining a relatively fast pace.

Seemingly sensing their impending escape, the desert bone-eating spiders finally couldn't hold back any longer.

This time, they weren't testing or following; instead, they launched an attack. Spiders rained down from the cliffs, walls, and crevices above, frantically biting the mercenary group members who were fleeing the area.

"court death."

Cao Le casually tossed Jiang Shaoxu and Lingling aside.

"Ah~~" X2.

Both women screamed in fright.

"Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes!"

Flames erupted from his fists as he slammed one fist into the ground.

"Oh!"

...

The fiery red color instantly invaded the ground, followed by a burst of fire that exploded with a "bang"!

With a loud explosion, a wave of fire shot up like a waterfall!

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

Several desert bone-eating spiders were almost instantly engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

However, Cao Le's attack was not just a waterfall of fire; instead, a series of explosions echoed from the valley...

502. Battle on a narrow road

The fire wave erupted from this narrow road and did not destroy the mountain wall, so there was no need to worry about a landslide caused by Cao Le's attack.

As for those on the ground, whether they were hidden desert bone-eating spiders or those that appeared in sight, almost all of them were swept into the air by the fire wave, eventually turning into charred corpses...

Just then, Jiang Shaoxu and Lingling, who had fallen from the sky, were caught again, one in each arm.

"Are you trying to die?!"

After being caught, Jiang Shaoxu raised her hand and punched Cao Le, seemingly startled.

"Shameless..."

Lingling glared at Cao Le with a look of shame and indignation.

"Uh..."

He only just realized how soft it was.

Jiang Shaoxu didn't mind because she had experienced it countless times before.

But Lingling is different.

Having no other choice, Cao Le had to use a little force to lift them up a bit.

"Let's go."

He then looked at the people behind him and said.

Thanks to his recent purge, they can now move forward.

As for the desert bone-eating spiders that were restless on the mountainside, after seeing the charred corpses of their companions, they had no intention of stopping them.

It's obvious that Cao Le and his group can't handle this!

On the way back, there were indeed many camouflaged desert bone-eating spiders lurking. As Ai Jiangtu ran at top speed, something immediately began to wriggle on the stone walls on both sides. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was just a layer of mud on the rocks. But the next second, they would fiercely pounce on the running mage with their spider claws carrying terrible venom, stabbing directly down from the man's shoulders!

Ai Jiangtu surveyed his surroundings and noticed three color-changing desert bone-eating spiders very close to him. He condensed his will into a greatsword of air that slashed down, instantly killing them the moment they made a move.

Mo Fan, having just witnessed Cao Le's attack and the killing of the Desert Bone-Eating Spider, was also imitating it quite well.

"Volcano Fist!"

His fire element, enhanced by the Three Souls Fire and the Flame Princess, is naturally quite powerful.

"Boom!!!"

He slammed his fist into the ground, and instantly pillars of fire exploded!

The desert bone-eating spiders, who hadn't wanted to provoke these people, still suffered a devastating blow...

These desert bone-eating spiders are extremely cunning. They could clearly sense the strength of these people, so they didn't want to provoke them. But who knew that even though they didn't make a move, these people showed no intention of letting them go.

As the flames engulfed the area, the desert bone-eating spiders that had been lying in ambush along the way began to flee towards the mountainside.

Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan continued moving forward. For those that climbed up the mountain wall, they simply gave up when they couldn't attack them. Their priority wasn't to kill demons, but to get on their way.

After all, a terrifying torrent of rocks was still rushing towards them from behind...

"Aijiangtu, you're a really good person!" Kuma, the deputy commander who had caught up, praised.

The road was littered with corpses. The Ninth Division's fighting prowess nearly intimidated the mercenary group. Sending them to clear the way was essentially making them cannon fodder, but the desert bone-eating spiders that swarmed them ended up being the cannon fodder instead...

To be honest, she really didn't expect these young people to be so fierce!

Having safely traversed the rocky passageway, the Mairon Mercenary Group found themselves facing a narrow, long crevice, barely wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, severely limiting the group's movement.

Unfortunately, the two walls of the long crevice were very high. Looking up, one would find that the desert bone-eating spiders were already lying on the rock walls, almost like they were lined up waiting for them to walk into their trap.

The members of the Ninth Division, including Cao Le and the others, were relatively easy to deal with. Apart from Lingling, they were all at least at the high-level perfection stage.

While Jiang Shaoxu might be somewhat lacking in combat ability, she has Cao Le protecting her, so there's no need to worry about her safety at all.

These long cracks in the mountain walls are not completely sealed; they actually have many fissures. If you look closely, you will find that these cracks actually form a spider web pattern, covering all the rocky areas. These desert bone-eating spiders are relatively flat and slender, and they can move freely through cracks that look no wider than a thumb. This means that even without the color-changing desert bone-eating spiders, other desert bone-eating spiders can approach the magician undetected.

In this situation, the mercenaries of the Mairon Mercenary Group were not so lucky.

The desert bone-eating spider's occasional sneak attacks are almost always satisfied.

However, for Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu, who were clearing the way, the journey was relatively smooth. Their Ninth Division was almost at the end of Pinggu, but screams continued to come from behind them, and they could also hear the angry roar of the division chief Gavin.

"How did your Ninth Division clear the way? There are so many Desert Bone-Eating Spiders along the way!" Gavin cursed.

Seeing this, everyone was puzzled.

They had indeed swept through the area before, but they hadn't encountered so many Desert Bone-Eating Spiders.

But now....

This seems a bit strange.

"They must be selecting weaker prey, because they know we're not to be trifled with, so they've made way for us."

“Cao Le, didn’t you try it before? Unless we clear the way like that, the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders that are responsible for hiding in the ground will definitely not attack us on their own,” Lingling analyzed.

But, does Cao Le really have to clean it all the way through?

It's clearly an unrealistic idea. After all, there are just too many desert bone-eating spiders here.
