Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 114 Feathers Preserved in Ancient Ruins
"Such a powerful suction force!" Fang Yu said in astonishment.

With his demonic artifact activated, Fang Yu's speed became a blur as he began his escape...

However, as the waterspout continued to form and slowly began to cover the entire underground river area, Fang Yu's location was too deep, and despite using his magical tools, he was still unable to escape before the waterspout covered the entire underground river area.

Fang Yu frowned and conjured ice walls to block the waterspout attack from ahead.

However, the high-speed rotating waterspout, upon touching the ice wall, instantly shattered it into countless fragments. Fang Yu's speed in condensing the ice wall was no match for the speed at which the waterspout shattered it.

"What the hell?! This power!" Fang Yu was increasingly shocked. The snow wall he had forged should have at least the defensive power of a mid-level magic spell, yet it shattered the tornado with a single touch. What kind of power was this?
Without any pause, the waterspout continued its relentless assault on Fang Yu, completely engulfing him...

In this critical moment, Fang Yu used all his defensive measures.

The "Little Snow Woman" possessed her, and frost began to condense, with frost-white and ice-blue frost forming a two-tone armor that enveloped her body.

The spell wall, like the shell of moonlight peeled off from the vast silver moon, radiated silver light. The light formed a square space, protecting Fang Yu within it, but it still could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the water tornado!

However, as the waterspout swept faster and its range expanded, Fang Yu's defenses began to crumble.

Time passed, and Fang Yu didn't know how much time had gone by. Inside the waterspout, although he had defensive measures to protect him, his body kept spinning with the direction of the wind, and his consciousness began to become blurred.

Two hours later, the underground river was left in a mess, and then gradually returned to calm.

……

Half a day later...

"Cough cough... cough cough!!!"

Fang Yu woke up, coughed a few times, and struggled to get up from where he was buried. His whole body ached, clearly indicating that he had been injured.

"Waaaaah~~~~~"

When the little snow maiden saw Fang Yu wake up, she flew to his side, scattering countless dazzling ice crystals, and called out with a wronged expression.

Fang Yu stroked the little snow girl's head and comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing."

Fang Yu paused for a moment, then looked around and found himself in a dimly lit place.

Despite his injuries, he used the ice crystals emitted by the Snow Maiden as a light source to move slowly forward. He needed to find a way to leave this dark place before he could return to the ancient city for treatment.

Fang Yu walked along the underground cavern for half an hour before finally seeing the light ahead. However, when Fang Yu stepped out of the cave, what appeared in his field of vision was not the exit, but an ancient ruin.

"This!" Fang Yu exclaimed in amazement.

An ancient ruin lies deep underground, covered with rock carvings of bird-shaped creatures. The gray-white stone slabs underfoot are also decorated with bird-shaped patterns. However, due to the erosion of time, the rock carvings have broken, and only ruins can be seen, from which their general shape can be determined.

Above this ancient ruin, however, stands an unimaginable arched silver dome, firmly supporting this underground space...

"A spatial array, left behind by the ancients?" Fang Yu wondered.

In the center of this ancient ruin, a feather floats, emitting bursts of blue light.

"Feathers? Remnants of which demon?"

From the moment Fang Yu stepped into this place, he was filled with doubts.

Fang Yu rested for a while to replenish his energy, then began walking through the ancient ruins, observing the stone carvings and rock sculptures left by his predecessors…

Moreover, this place reminded him of the items he had seen in the ancient city exhibition hall. The same rock carvings and stone walls made the two places look so similar. It seemed that the items in the exhibition hall were taken away from here.

……

Soon, Fang Yu arrived at the center of the ruins, his eyes fixed on the half-meter-long azure feather before him.

Feathers resemble scales, yet are as thin and light as feathers. They are like feather-like scales, mysterious and seemingly possessing a magical allure.

Beneath the feathers, there was a broken stone wall with ancient images carved on it, though they were blurry. The fact that it was placed together with the feathers likely indicates that this was an ancient artifact that recorded information about the feathers.

Sometimes the feathers are dull and lifeless, but at other times they display an amazing brilliance!

Fang Yu sensed that it contained extremely amazing energy, but it appeared and disappeared intermittently.

His eyes were full of doubt, and driven by curiosity, he touched the feather with his hand.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Fang Yu was suddenly jolted, as an indescribable pressure suddenly emanated from the feather and enveloped the surrounding area.

It was as if some enormous creature was hiding in its feathers, emanating its aura.

Fang Yu was alarmed.

However, the next moment he was completely captivated by the scene before him.

A bright blue light burst forth from the feathers, followed by wisps of blue flames that rose up and spread in all directions.

"What is this?" Fang Yuchuan stared wide-eyed at the slowly rising blue-green flames in front of him.

Beautiful, dazzling, absolutely stunning!

Soon after, as the blue flames spread out, they formed a huge sea of ​​fire, hundreds of meters high.

The ruins here are currently enveloped within its area.

The sounds of burning and trembling echoed continuously from the sea of ​​fire, accompanied by gusts of wind.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. What horrified Fang Yu was what lay within this sea of ​​fire.

A faint, illusory figure materialized, its form rapidly solidifying from the illusory lake, vaguely forming the outline of the creature it saw.

The outline is becoming clearer very quickly.

It was a crane-like creature engulfed in blue flames.

Within the flames, its entire body was a dazzling blue-green color, so bright that even the flames could not conceal it. Its graceful form was adorned with a long blue-green feather that fluttered in the wind, exuding a sense of holiness.

Just as Fang Yu saw its face clearly, the crane-like creature suddenly lowered its head and looked at Fang Yu.

At this glance, the vast sea of ​​fire surrounding Fang Yu instantly rose up, flames soaring into the sky, whipping up storms, and the fire element suddenly became intense, as if being drawn together.

next moment.

The white crane, which had reflected the ruins in the blue fire, suddenly spread its wings and flapped them wildly.

This is the first time I've spread my wings!
Each time it spreads its wings, it unleashes a raging inferno, the flames surging and rushing outwards.

This is the mystery behind the fire at Dazu Rock Carvings.

After an unknown amount of time, amidst the turmoil in Fang Yu's heart, the blue-white crane he saw spread its wings for the second time.

This time, it moved even faster and created even more terrifying shockwaves, causing the sea of ​​fire to surge backward.

Until the next instant, in Fang Yu's perception, the white crane that was rising higher and higher on the blue ruins spread its wings and made its third wing-spreading appearance!
