Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"This is?"

“There must be other people who have arrived here from elsewhere,” Lingling replied.

"So there's another way?" Zhao Manyan paused.

"It's also possible that they just fought their way up here; we can't say for sure," Ai Jiangtu said.

“I think there might be other routes. After all, not everyone is here for the first time,” Nan Jue said.

"..."

As they were talking, the group continued forward, and sure enough, besides the golden English flag, there were quite a few groups of monks camped at the mountain pass above!

After climbing a rather steep slope, what appeared before everyone was a lake at the Tianshan Pass. The lake was also very large, with a diameter of more than four kilometers. It was hard to imagine that the location led by the Tianshan Grand Canyon was the very sacred and beautiful Tianshan Lake that had always been rumored to be.

When everyone arrived, Kuma saw that several teams had already arrived and couldn't help but curl his lip.

There was indeed no better spot to camp than that lakeside with its ancient coniferous trees nearby. What was puzzling was why this group of people lingered there like a gathering, instead of rushing onward to savor the purest delicacies of the Tianshan Mountains.

Kuma arrived here with a wary expression.

After all, everyone is in competition with these people, and some might even be hoping they'd be eliminated on the way here. But when they arrived, none of them showed any hostility; on the contrary, they were incredibly enthusiastic.

"Kuma!"

Just as Kuma was wondering what was going on, a loud shout suddenly rang out. A tall man with thick eyebrows walked over.

"Hunter King Arsen?" Kuma looked at the tall man approaching with some surprise.

"How are you all doing?" Hunter King Arsen asked, looking at Kuma.

The Mairon Mercenary Group is very famous throughout Asia. Their overall strength is undeniable... and given the need for a strong team here, the Hunter King is being very polite.

“Not very good, half of them died.” Kuma didn’t lie to the Hunter King and admitted it frankly.

“We’re not much better off. There are seventeen of us in the entire hunter group. We thought that fewer people would make us a smaller target and easier to move around, but five of us have died along the way,” said Hunter King Arsen.

I heard that even a famous hunting team has lost so many people?

Kumar was clearly shocked....

Seeing Kuma's expression, Yasen added, "In a place like the Tianshan Mountains, cultivation level doesn't represent everything."

That's true.

The Great Rift Valley they traversed before was fraught with danger, wasn't it?

Even a high-level mage would inevitably succumb to the destructive force of such a torrent of rocks...

Kuma nodded, then asked why Arsen and the others were staying there.

Arsen didn't explain anything, but instead told Kuma and the others to see for themselves.

Soon, a large herd of beasts appeared, charging down from the Tianshan Mountains. Initially, they thought it was a group of demons attacking them, but the appearance of the Ancient Frost Eagles brought them to another level of shock...

The ancient eagle of extreme cold suddenly spread its magnificent wings when it was less than five meters from the ice surface, seizing the demonic beasts one by one with its sharp talons, and then flew back to its nest...

507. Zhao's lackey

After witnessing a fierce battle firsthand, the newly arrived Mailong Mercenary Group and the National Government Team members were all trembling with fear...

"This...this is too terrifying!" Nan Jue's voice trembled slightly.

“These ancient eagles could hunt these beasts when they enter the glacier layer in autumn, but they don’t. All the ancient eagles do is wait above the Tian Shan Pool throughout the end of autumn. These monsters will search all over the mountains for the mountain spirit treasures nurtured by the glacier deposits and then deliver them to their mouths here,” Lingling said incisively.

Hearing Lingling's analysis and description, and seeing the shocking scene of the group hunting in front of them, a chill even colder than ice seeped into everyone's heart!

"In other words, if we don't find another way out after we enter the snow layer, we will still be preyed upon by these creatures from high altitudes when we descend the mountain," Mo Fan said.

"The problem now is, if we go up the mountain, will we also be attacked like this?" Zhao Manyan said.

"Of course they will. Otherwise, why would these mages gather here? Haven't you noticed yet? The reason why those different species of demonic beasts are traveling together is because they all know that there are Ancient Frost Eagles lying in wait here. If they rush down together, they might be able to escape if they get lucky," Guan Yu said.

“Same here. Right now, those mage organizations are gathered by the lake, waiting for other mage groups to arrive one after another. Once they have enough people, they will rush into the lake together and then leave their fate to fate!” Jiang Shaoxu said with a smirk.

Not long after Jiang Shaoxu finished speaking, a commotion broke out among the members of the Mailong Mercenary Group below.

Having witnessed this scene, would they be sent charging?

The weaker mercenaries, if they had any sense, would understand that if they followed the charge, they would be sending themselves to their deaths!

Most importantly, perhaps after they became cannon fodder for others, those people successfully rose to the top?

The mere thought of this possibility has already led quite a few mercenaries to consider turning back.

"The Scar of Tianshan is right before our eyes. After crossing multiple mountain ridges, this great rift valley will take us directly to the Scar of Tianshan. I don't need to say more about how many treasures are inside the Scar of Tianshan, do I?" As the leader of the assembled mage alliance, Hunter King Arsen had to appease the emotions of the various mage groups at this moment.

“Yasen, these Arctic Eagles will eventually have enough to eat. What do you think about us waiting for another group of these beasts to come down and die? Once the Arctic Eagles have filled their bellies, we'll be much safer, right?” Zhao Kang, the leader of the Reverse Bird Hunter Group, asked.

Upon seeing Zhao Kang, Zhao Manyan felt a surge of displeasure.

Because this person was a loyal lackey of his ruthless older brother.

"They're storing up food for the winter, so waiting for them to eat their fill is simply impossible," Arsen said, shaking his head. (16.com)

“These beasts are charging down the mountain with tremendous force. Can’t we take advantage of the Ancient Frost Eagles hunting the beasts to rush up?” said Deputy Commander Kuma.

With these herds of beasts as bait, Kuma felt that this was their only hope.

However, Arsen told her that others had done the same thing before, and none had survived...

The ancient eagle of the Arctic is clearly more interested in humans than in herds of beasts. And besides, its nest is not far from here...

Therefore, Kumar's method is not feasible.

"Does the Hunter King have any ideas?" Kuma asked again.

“When there are not many beasts left, that is, in about 10 minutes, it also means that everyone will only have 10 minutes to decide whether to advance or retreat,” Hunter King Arsen replied.

Upon hearing this, many hunter mage teams and small mercenary groups withdrew.

Some people are still aware of their own abilities.

This kind of place is not one to wander into casually.

One wrong move, and it will inevitably lead to death.

After one group left, the remaining people still wanted to give it a shot.

Why would someone come to such an extremely dangerous place as the Tianshan Mountains if not for the resources?

If it weren't for that, why would they risk coming here?

...

The remaining group was now ready to depart. A cold, bloody smell permeated the entire frozen Tian Shan Lake, and the blood vapor even condensed into red ice mist, which still floated above the lake.

Hunter King Arsen glanced at the members of the Mairon Mercenary Group, his gaze inadvertently landing on the group from the Ninth Division.

He had noticed it before, so he asked with a smile, "When did your Mailong Mercenary Group incorporate the Chinese National Government Team?"

"The Chinese National Government Team?" Kuma turned his head to look at the members of the Ninth Division.

Kuma only knew that Ai Jiangtu was a member of the Huaxia National Government; she didn't know any of the others.

She used to think the National Team was just a children's fight. But now... after witnessing their strength and Cao Le's terrifying power, she realized she had underestimated teenagers.

"So they're a group of geniuses. They actually dared to come to Tianshan. It seems they're quite something to win the top spot in the world's universities."

Zhao Kang of the Reverse Bird Mercenary Group couldn't help but laugh, then looked at Zhao Manyan with a playful tone: "I didn't expect our second young master of the Zhao family to be here too?"

"Damn it..." Zhao Manyan said with a hint of annoyance.

Ever since his father died, Zhao Youqian's lackeys have dared to speak to him like this.

"Buzz~~"

"Uh!"

Just as Zhao Kang finished speaking, he was grabbed by the neck.

When Cao Le made his move, Kuma and the rest of the National Team were completely dumbfounded.

"Zhao Manyan, should I kill him for you?"

Cao Le held Zhao Kang in his hand, and the spatial power exerted a great sense of pressure on him.

He was completely immobilized; he wanted to cast spells, but the spatial pressure made it impossible for him to concentrate...

This sudden turn of events displeased Hunter King Arsen. After all, he had just declared that internal strife was forbidden; otherwise, how would they have had the chance to advance here?

However, Cao Le's move was so sudden that even Cao Le himself hadn't reacted in time...

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with this kind of lackey."

Everyone is aiming for the summit of Tianshan Mountain, so it would be unwise to start fighting amongst ourselves at this time.

Especially since the beast horde has already begun its charge...

"Oh!"

Cao Le casually tossed it aside.

"We're all here to search for treasure. I hope personal grudges won't get involved, otherwise it won't be good for anyone. If anyone attacks a member of the Alliance, I'll be the first to object," Arsen said with displeasure.

Although Zhao Kang was unhappy, aside from Cao Le's strength, which left him dumbfounded, even with Yasen speaking up, how could he dare to say anything more?

Moreover, although Zhao Manyan failed, he still holds a considerable position in the Zhao family because of his breakthrough to the Super-Rank Mage and the relationship with that mysterious giant tortoise.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger. Of course, the resentment in his eyes revealed that the other party was vengeful.

But Cao Le dared to make a move, showing that he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

When Cao Le approached, Zhao Manyan asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled, "Cao Le, why are you so impulsive today? This isn't like you, is it?"

He really couldn't understand it. Cao Le wouldn't usually act like this; it was just a bit of verbal banter, and he wouldn't go to such lengths... But today?
