Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

In terms of combat power, he is roughly equivalent to Mo Fan during his trip to the ancient capital, and even more outstanding in some aspects. Each of the four departments has means that exceed the standard, and the latter is only acceptable in terms of the linkage between the fire department and the summoning department.

Mo Fan was mainly dragged down by the downgrade of the Demon Department.

At this moment, Lu Jun was looking forward to the effect of the curse. He closed his eyes and sensed carefully. It was the fourth level [Curse·Haze of Fear·Dream Eater]!

One step further than the third-level nightmare, the marked enemy will not only have fearful evil eyes, but will manifest a complete face of hateful ghosts, gnawing at the dream bit by bit.

The damage sustained in the dream will be synchronized to reality, and will truly have the killing power. It will also feedback a portion of the power of the ominous curse and restore the nebula magic energy. When the dream is broken, the enemy's soul will be annihilated.

"Yes, the four elementary fourth-level magics are first-rate and powerful, and each has its own specialties."

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the remaining six slave-level spirit essences and one general-level spirit essence in the White Tiger Pendant. He thought about it and decided not to strengthen the general into the fifth-level elementary magic for the time being.

The cost-effectiveness is not high, it is better to prioritize strengthening the intermediate fourth level, a total of forty-nine stars, and the road is long.

To be honest, if he were to fight any intermediate level 4 or high-level domain-less magician, he would be no match for him. He would be vulnerable to their mental attacks and would be unable to interrupt their high-level magic. The rest would not be a concern for him.

As for which system to upgrade first, Lu Jun was undecided. The performance of the gold system's skills was becoming more and more prominent, and sooner or later the magic tool's nonsense would no longer be able to conceal it.

Compared to going into the water, cursing, and the mind, it seems to be aboveboard. As his strength improves, he can reveal a mind system when necessary.

Of course, the latter two are still at the intermediate level 2, which is some distance away from level 3.

Only the water system followed closely behind the big brother, the gold system. The water system and the mind system were used the most in this training. Now his magic power has recovered to its peak, and with the warmth and nourishment of the white tiger pendant, it has faintly reached the third level.

"Take it one step at a time. Store it in the White Tiger Pendant. It can't run away. I will use it as a trump card when I can point out the fourth intermediate level in one go."

Lu Jun decided at will.

At this time, everyone's magic power has basically recovered, and they are ready to set off for their destination. This experience is over.

Seven or eight white dolphins led the way and moved towards a relatively obscure area of ​​water.

After crossing the Jinling Dragon Gate, the frequency and strength of the monsters encountered were obviously much higher. Fortunately, the location was not far away and it was still bearable.

Professor Yuan also gave a brief introduction: "The Yangtze River demons are unfathomable. It is the birthplace of our civilization. It is unknown whether there are emperors, but there are more than a dozen monarchs in the open."

"Jinling Dragon Gate is only the first step. There are eight more steps to follow, distributed along the nine sections of the Yangtze River, which are used to divide the region. Therefore, it is collectively called the Nine Dragon Gates."

"It is said that there is a walking dragon, starting from the mouth of the Yangtze River, crossing nine dragon gates in a row, and under the influence of the mysterious luck, it transformed into an emperor-level real dragon."

Hearing this, Lu Jun was surprised. He didn't expect that the honorific title of Longmen, which means "breaking the flow of the natural chasm", was really a real reference. The extreme of nine is indeed a bit mysterious. Mythology may not be unrealistic.

Chapter 124: The Surprise Appearance of Commander Ya

Mr. Lu didn't delve into it further and just treated it as a story.

No wonder the Siren Empire failed to take control of the Yangtze River after its invasion in the future. In that case, the super cities on both sides of the river would be seriously threatened.

It turns out that there are layers of blocking by the Nine Dragon Gates. The key node controlled by humans is the familiar Three Gorges Dam, also known as the Three Gorges Dragon Gate. It is at the fifth valve and is the last line of defense.

After arriving, the group put on the fourth-level water defense, and under the protection of Professor Yuan's water field, they followed the white dolphin to the bottom of the river.

The place where the white finless porpoises breed their offspring is in a remote cave. Through the dim river water, they saw that the riverbed was full of reefs and rock walls, and the wonders of the underwater world were right before their eyes.

An abundant water magic energy attacked from the deepest part, bringing with it a faint warmth.

Upon seeing this, the azure water nebulae in Lu Jun's spiritual world became more lively, and he couldn't help but sigh at the rich resources of the Yangtze River system.

Gulu gulu!

Led by the white dolphin, they shuttled through underwater reefs and finally came to an underwater valley with a unique world. A deep cave emerged, and diving into it led directly to the monster's tomb.

Professor Yuan transmitted a message to the group through the sound system at the bottom of the river: "The monster tombs here are relatively small. The bigger ones are in the section of the Yangtze River after the second and third dragon gates."

The mood of several people was relatively relaxed, only Lu Jun cast a mid-level mental magic [Spirit Detection] as usual.

His forehead glowed slightly, and layers of transparent ripples swept across, quickly penetrating all the rock walls and reefs. When he closed his eyes, a three-dimensional picture of the riverbed was outlined.

When Lu Jun covered an area of ​​several hundred meters and barely included a part of the edge of the cave, his heart suddenly stopped.

During his exploration, he saw a white sturgeon monster that was more than ten meters tall lurking at the entrance of the cave. This monster had explosive muscles, fine white and crystal scales all over its body, and human-like skeleton, full of awe-inspiring power.

Yangtze River white sturgeon monster!

This kind of monster has the weakest physical body, and its forte is controlling water. The physical body of the white sturgeon monster in front of him looks extremely powerful, and it can easily crush all generals, not to mention its ability to control water.

There is no doubt that it is a great demon that has reached the commander-level level.

"Get out!"

Lu Jun immediately sent a telepathic message to the twelve people, but before he discovered, Professor Yuan's sound system had already detected a huge shadow on the sound wave image, and they all urged at the same time.

Although Mu Tingying and the others were puzzled, they still wanted to leave the area quickly.

As a result, before everyone could evacuate, the white sturgeon monster lurking in the cave launched an attack.

Rumble!

It sensed someone approaching and revealed a hideous and cunning smile. Its water control ability was activated, and terrifying waves on its body spread. Waves rose up at the bottom of the water and expanded to hundreds of meters in radius in the blink of an eye.

Countless violent currents were spinning at high speed, and a majestic water whirlpool was formed with the reef mountain cave as the center, causing everyone to stagger.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that an extremely deep sea eye on the river surface suddenly collapses, which is incredibly huge, causing waves and overwhelming momentum.

All the fish monsters that had not yet escaped exploded under the high-intensity water pressure. Blood mist filled the whirlpool, and the reefs at the bottom of the river were shattered into powder, demonstrating a powerful strangling force.

It all happened so suddenly that the demon led by Commander Ya made a move and instantly unleashed a sorcery that was as powerful as high-level magic, creating a whirlpool of water.

Demons of the same level are much stronger than ordinary high-level ones.

Mu Tingying, Guan Yu, Zu Jiming and other children of noble families quickly activated their armor and magic tools, and put on fourth-level water defense. Although they were thrown around in the whirlpool, they managed to protect themselves.

As for Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng, they did not have such strong capital and were struggling hard in the huge whirlpool, like grass being caught in it. In front of the power of nature, they were extremely fragile, with blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

Lu Jun's face was calm, with a fourth-level water silk python wrapped around him, protecting his entire body. It automatically adjusted along with the water flow, and at the same time, he immediately summoned a mid-level top-grade shield magic tool - [Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield].

This magic tool is very peculiar. It is a ball of real water with dim light. As soon as it appears, it penetrates into the body surface and merges with the water-control magic to outline an ancient and weathered tortoise-shell shield that covers the whole body.

He looked like a black tortoise that had retreated into its shell.

Not only did it protect itself in the water whirlpool, but with the help of water magic, it did not roll or fall like the others, but stood firmly in place like a rock, with its crystal shell emitting a faint, illusory light and with clear texture.

Of course, the demonic power exerted by the white sturgeon became more and more powerful, and after a few seconds, the defense of the intermediate magician present would be broken sooner or later.

Fortunately, Professor Yuan took action at the critical moment. His eyes flashed with purple light, and the majestic mental power of the four realms gushed out. Moreover, a light purple glow rose into the sky all over his body, and the water field unfolded [Mountain and Flowing Water].

I saw another strong force erupting from the huge whirlpool on the river surface. The lavender water quickly invaded the white whirlpool, intervened forcefully, and destroyed the whirlpool.

Wow!

The surface of the river went from extremely active to extremely quiet, and the people underwater felt the irresistible force suddenly stop. They were overjoyed and, while enduring the dizziness, used their own means of displacement to quickly break free and float to the surface.

Although there were still some rough waves and large amounts of foam at the bottom of the river, they no longer posed a threat to the mage.

A light purple mist area replaced it, and the water quality had a faint purple luster.

Seeing this, Lu Jun was shocked. Professor Yuan's water system was so amazing. He had a water soul seed and it was combined with the sound system, giving him a unique understanding.

The sound of flowing water in the mountains may be as majestic as Mount Tai or as vast as the rivers. Music stirs up nature, and when the notes come out, the river surface calms down.

At this moment, Professor Yuan looked down through the heavy water and saw a white-scaled monster crawling out of the rocky mountain on the riverbed. He said solemnly, "You can't participate in this battle. Leave here quickly."

He didn't expect the white sturgeon clan to be so cunning and even cautious.

Even if all the white dolphins were slaughtered, people were still dispatched to ambush at various monster tombs just in case, to prevent any fish from escaping the net and returning to the tribe's residence to conceive and reproduce.

It can be said that if humans had not intentionally participated, this tribe would have been completely extinct.

"Cutting the grass and eradicating its roots is a good method."

Lu Jun understood after a little thought, and then he glanced at the several white porpoises nearby with a grim expression. Their stomachs turned upside down, floating on the water, dying.

The reason why this group of people were not in serious trouble, in addition to various defensive measures, the most important thing was that the white finless porpoise was not the main target of the white sturgeon monster, but was the focus of care.

Two of them were crushed to death by the giant hands formed by the huge water flow at the first moment of the encounter when the giant monster led by the sub-commander was attacked. Their bodies were torn into pieces and scattered all over the sky.

No one expected that they had protected the white finless porpoise well all the way, but failed at the last moment.

If we give the white sturgeon a little more time, I'm afraid the entire army will be wiped out and this trip would be in vain.

Chapter 125 Fierce Battle

The waves under the water rolled continuously and a large number of bubbles were generated.

The sub-commander white sturgeon monster emerged from the cave, standing up like a human, more than ten meters tall, with a ferocious aura, and its crystal white scales sparkling with a hard luster.

It stared at Professor Fang Yuan with its evil eyes, feeling the fluctuations of the lavender soul water around it, and a strong sense of threat rose.

Roar! The white sturgeon roared, and the nearby waters suddenly rioted, as if two areas overlapped and collided wildly, and countless water flows were in disorder.

On the surface of the river, the water was shaking violently, with water columns tens of meters high bursting out from time to time, as if two huge monsters were fighting in the deep water, and a turn would cause huge waves.

All the intermediate students hid far away. The commander level was really not something they could deal with. Unless someone held him firmly back and used intermediate level magic to slowly weaken him, there would be a slight chance of winning.

But obviously in the water environment, these landlubbers did not have the courage to fight against a sub-commander who was good at aquatic life, and they just watched without any loyalty.

Fortunately, Nan Rongni still remembered to use the healing radiance to treat the few remaining white dolphins, so as to avoid wasting all the previous efforts.

Only Lu Jun did not leave. He was skilled and courageous and wandered around the edge of the battlefield. With his water defense and the Xuanming tortoise shell shield, as well as the diamond defense of the black gold dragon pattern sword, he was confident that he could block the attack from Commander Ya.

Buzz!

At this time, Professor Yuan had no time to care about anything else. He concentrated his mind on controlling the water field and took out his magic tools. He blew a white jade flute in one hand and wore a gorgeous glove like a magician's in the other hand to control something.

Professor Yuan's third department finally appeared, which turned out to be the Chaos Department, which changed the order of space, distorted the effects of magic, and fought elegantly and calmly.

But the demons have reached the commander level and are extremely intelligent. The White Sturgeon is clear about his goal and is unwilling to fight to the death with Professor Yuan, a great master, as it would be meaningless.

It repeatedly tried to rush out of the battlefield and kill the white dolphins in the distance.

Unfortunately, they were all easily blocked by Professor Yuan. His water, sound, chaos and other abilities might not be possible, but his ability to contain others is first-rate.

Sometimes he played some strange music to constantly provoke the emotions of the white sturgeon monster. Sometimes he waited for the white sturgeon monster to rush out for a distance like a bullfight, and then suddenly used chaos magic to reverse the space and let it return to the starting point, which was a waste of effort.

The white sturgeon was repeatedly blocked and watched helplessly as Mu Tingying, Goldman Sachs and nine other people disappeared without a trace with the white finless porpoise.

Suddenly, it became furious, and with its more than ten-meter-tall body, it pounced towards Professor Yuan, trying to kill this annoying human wizard first.

Commander Ya's speed in the water was so fast that he almost left an afterimage and disappeared silently. He was undoubtedly an absolute underwater killer.

Professor Yuan is no simple person either. He is proficient in the Chaos System and is not affected by a single leaf. He is in a stalemate with the white sturgeon leader Ya. His body is graceful and agile, and he moves quickly in the water.

Buzz!

Seeing that close combat was not effective, the white sturgeon decisively used its power to control water. Its long pointed beak flashed with a faint blue light, and tides surged around it, depriving the lavender soul water field bit by bit.

Professor Yuan was not to be outdone. He lowered his head and played the high-level magic [Soul Song: Burial].

Oh oh oh!

The sound of the flute carries a strong sense of sadness, and it seems to be flowing from ancient times, resonating with the deep water, and is full of inexplicable charm.

There was a murderous intent surging at the bottom of the river. At this moment, Lu Jun felt his muscles cracking, his internal organs were hurt, his head was splitting, and his bones were about to melt. He was so scared that he retreated quickly.

He was shocked to discover that the special feature of the sound system was that it could penetrate and kill, completely ignoring defense, because everything could vibrate and was composed of waves.

Transparent sound waves swept through the water, appearing and disappearing, forming all kinds of invisible magical weapons that came to kill, containing tremendous energy.

The white sturgeon was attacked head-on by a large number of 'Dao Yin', and he immediately used magic to cause the water in front of him to condense quickly, forming thick walls of condensed water, which were compressed into a deep dark color.

Rumble!

The sound system bombarded layer upon layer of water walls, splashing the heavy walls with brilliant water splashes, and the remaining force continued to hit the white sturgeon.

The fine and hard white scales on the body of the Asian white sturgeon were starting to show cracks, with blood seeping out. A lot of blood was overflowing from its mouthparts. It was obvious that not only its body but also its internal organs were damaged.

Seeing this, Lu Jun frowned, realizing Professor Yuan's embarrassment. He did have some means of output, but they were not suitable for facing monsters.

The sound system focuses on large-scale killing and prefers thin-skinned opponents. For example, if the previous wave was a human magician, I am afraid that no matter how many high-level magicians came, they would have to be killed.

But the white sturgeon is a commander-level monster, with thick blood and rough flesh, and the sound system is killing.

Professor Yuan finally found the time to cast a high-level magic, but the effect was not satisfactory. The price he paid was that as soon as his mental strength relaxed, the water field was strongly affected and most of it was taken away in the blink of an eye.

This area of ​​water fell into the control of the white sturgeon. In its mind, waves of terror swept towards Professor Xiang Yuan.

Professor Yuan controlled the chaos system and reversed the attack.

The two were stuck in the water, unable to deal with each other.
