Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

After regaining their composure, the lava finally showed signs of receding, and they, who had almost suffocated in the extremely thin air, breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the Swift Star Wolf was still intact, the group rushed down the mountain path after leaving the cave.

In their opinion, Mo Gouzi had probably been swept down the mountain.

The group rushed to the bottom of the mountain, but they couldn't find Mo Fan. In their anxiety, they encountered another big problem: the two-faced turtle demon that had blocked their escape route earlier.

When Zhao Manyan saw the Two-Faced Turtle Demon, he was about to settle accounts with it when he realized that these creatures lived in groups. Just as Zhao Manyan was about to tear the Two-Faced Turtle Demon to pieces, an even larger, fully armored monster suddenly appeared...

Instantly, Zhao Manyan retreated timidly.

He's a turtle-shell mage; when it comes to combat, it's definitely better to use someone like Cao Le or Mo Fan who can deal massive damage.

Without wasting any words, Cao Le charged straight at the larger one.

As for the smaller ones, they could only be dealt with by Zhao Manyan and his group.

Seeing Cao Le charging towards him, the two-faced tortoise demon suddenly raised its front legs high, then slammed them to the ground with a loud thud, causing Cao Le to feel a sudden tremor. In such a well-lit place, shadow magic was practically useless, so he had no choice but to use spatial magic.

"Mind control!"

Even though the two-faced turtle was quite large, it was still controlled by Cao Le's mind control.

With a toss and a flick, the giant tortoise flew more than ten meters...

Cao Le chased after them, reminding them to "run!" as he did so.

With his perception, he could clearly sense that there were more than just these few two-faced turtles here; there were four or five more that seemed to be heading this way!

Xin Xia watched Cao Le deal with the big guy and said with some worry, "Cao Le, don't fight it. Let's leave here first."

"Don't worry about me, you guys go find Mo Fan. I'll find a way to get to you then," Cao Le replied, and then hurried off to a spot about ten meters away.

Just as it caught up, the Two-Faced Turtle Demon, as if it had been waiting for it, let out a roar...

Then, two more companions with equally strong auras appeared beside it!

Of course, Cao Le deliberately threw it this way, and what difference would it make whether he killed one or three?

"Dark Amplification!"

Although Shadow Step cannot be used, Dark Amplification is not a big problem; it's just that its amplification power is stronger at night.

Immediately afterwards, a black longsword appeared in his hand, the blade stuck into the ground, and thick dark power kept surging into it. Just as the three two-faced turtle demons rushed over, Cao Le drew the sword and swung it!

"Buzz buzz buzz~!!"

A black sword blade rose directly from the ground and attacked the three two-faced turtle demons.

"Pfft pfft pfft~!!!"

Giving him time to gather his strength was enough to seal their fate. The three two-faced turtle demons, almost the instant they pounced, were sliced ​​into pieces and fell to the ground...

Just as Cao Le was about to leave after finishing the battle and collecting the remnant soul, he suddenly felt the dark artifact in his hand trembling.

It seems to have noticed something that interests it?

He was just as curious about this, so he followed the direction indicated by the magical artifact in his hand and walked in that direction.

In his mind, it would only take a few minutes and wouldn't cause any problems.

But after walking for a full half hour... he still hadn't found anything that interested the magical artifact in his hand!

That's absolutely outrageous...

Cao Le had no choice but to give up. Xin Xia and the others were still waiting for him there. And judging from the situation, he didn't know where the thing that had attracted him was, so he had no choice but to go back.

Fortunately, he had amassed quite a few resources along the way, and now he had a total of 100 million in resources at his disposal!

Once he gets back, he can buy a copy of the Star River Pulse.

That would give him a good chance of getting a higher position!

A single Star River Vein can't help him break through? That's impossible. If a single Star River Vein couldn't even help him advance to a higher level, then how dare he look down on Mo Gouzi all day long?

Of course, the premise is that he must cultivate both systems to perfection, and only then can the Star River Vein play a key role when he is about to break through the star map.

Otherwise, failure is not impossible...

...

113. Surrounded

As luck would have it, on his way back, Cao Le encountered the Two-Faced Turtle Demons again, and this time there were not just one or two, but a whole hundred!

Fortunately, only a few were at the commander level; the rest were merely advanced-stage servant demons.

"Dark Summoning!"

"Dark Amplification!"

However, facing hundreds of powerful two-faced turtle demons, one still needs to be on high alert, provided one remains unharmed.

Getting injured in a place like this is definitely not a good thing!

After being possessed by the Dark Amplification, Cao Le did not retreat like a typical mage when faced with the hundred Two-Faced Turtle Demons charging towards him; instead, he charged straight at them.

"Bang bang bang~!!"

He was like a humanoid fighting machine; wherever he went, no matter how large the two-faced demon turtle was, it was instantly sent flying...

Moreover, with the help of spatial power, a single punch could smash the head of a small turtle... It's just that this thing has two heads, otherwise, I could have killed twenty or thirty of them in this wave.

Fortunately, the Shadow Generals finished them off. Although their shells were very tough, and the environment here somewhat suppressed the Shadow Generals, with Tang Miao's spatial magic, more than ten Two-Faced Turtle Demons were wiped out in a single round...

"Shadow General, you hold them off for a bit, I'm preparing a big wave for them." Seeing that these two-faced turtle demons had become smarter and even knew to spread out, Cao Le gave the order to the Shadow General in front of him.

At the same time, these giant turtles simultaneously began to violently shake the ground with both feet!

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

The tremors sent shivers down Cao Le's spine, and both Cao Le and Ying Jiang felt the ground shake. Moreover, he could sense that something beneath the ground was about to erupt!

In a place like Zhuoyuan, what could erupt is clearly not groundwater...

That must be lava!

"The Shadow General will return!"

Sensing something was wrong, Cao Le quickly shouted.

These damn turtles can't take a joke! They actually want to incinerate them with lava.

Ultimately, he didn't have any defensive means. Even if his mental power was sufficient, spatial systems weren't true defensive systems. At least before reaching a high level, there was little chance of completing a defense.

"Fast Shadow Boots!"

Donning the Demon Shoes and recalling his Shadow General, Cao Le turned and charged forward.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

The moment he turned to run away, jets of lava erupted!

This appears to be lava that flowed down from the mountain earlier?

I never expected to be used by these stupid turtles in this way. It seems I underestimated these big turtles.

With the magical artifacts and the combined use of spatial abilities, Cao Le's speed was extremely fast, and he escaped from the lava in the blink of an eye.

The group of two-faced turtle demons behind them were so angry that they kept howling...

He didn't linger there and returned to the place he had marked. Unfortunately, there were dozens of Two-Faced Turtle Demons in the same spot he had come from!

It felt like I had fallen into a turtle's nest.

If it were just now, he might still be willing to fight. However, knowing that there are still many more behind him, if he gets surrounded and kept wearing down, then he's really going to be done for.

"Shadow General!"

To prevent them from using the same method, Cao Le summoned his shadow general and then charged forward.

But this time, instead of stomping their feet on the ground, the foremost few warrior-level old turtles spewed waves of fire!

The temperature of this fire wave isn't very high, but if I were to be exposed to it, my delicate skin would probably be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, right?

"Spatial Rhythm - Crack!"

The dimensional space was torn apart, and the small wave of fire was instantly sliced ​​away...

"Shadow Sha - Dark Corruption!"

After the fire wave vanished, the black corrosive power spread towards the several warrior-level two-faced turtle demons in front of them.

Under his corrosive power, Shadow turned that thing into a giant tortoise with every slash!

With the death of these dozen or so large, warrior-level tortoises, the smaller tortoises wisely turned and ran, showing no intention of attacking at all...

Having defeated them, Cao Le didn't dare linger and continued towards the place he had marked earlier.

What I thought would only take a few minutes turned into a full two hours...

After arriving at his marker, Cao Le did not continue uphill along the mountain crevice, but instead headed downhill.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Manyan and his group should have met up with Zhao Manyan's uncle, who is also Chen Ying's father.

In that case, whether he goes up or not is obviously not very meaningful.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, Cao Le figured that since they were just waiting anyway, they might as well do something meaningful, like scavenging for resources in the vicinity!

If you have money and don't pick it up, that would be so out of character for you.

Moreover, now that we have the money from the Star Sea Vein, shouldn't we buy some gifts for our twins when we get back?

Shouldn't we bring Tang Yue something useful and suitable?

And then there's my younger sister, doesn't she need money too?

Throughout the entire Scorching Plains, it is said that many hunter mages are heading here, but judging from the previous riot at the Sand River, it seems that not many teams will be able to make it.

What Cao Le was really curious about was how this woman who was impersonating Chen Ying's mother had managed to do such thorough research.
