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

Chapter 164 Clues
"Ring, ring (Wow, there's an egg!)"

Little Flame Princess floated out of the contract space, laughing heartily as she pounced on the pile of withered grass, revealing three giant eggs.

These are three eggs, each the size of a stone millstone, jet black and translucent, like polished black jade, swirling with wisps of energy.

Little Flame Princess grinned and couldn't stop laughing.

"Perfect!"

Fang Yu was overjoyed; he could just manage to prepare a delicious meal.

Next, Fang Yu and Tang Yue, carrying Xiao Yanji and the three giant eggs, moved away from the area, intending to have a hearty meal.

soon.

They found a hidden cave.

Little Flame Princess volunteered to cook a delicious meal.

It stood proudly in the nest.

The flames suddenly spread out, transforming into a sharp fire blade that sliced ​​across an egg with a crisp crack, leaving a clean cut.

As if carved by a knife.

Moreover, the two halves of the egg immediately landed face down, lying there steadily without spilling a single drop of egg.

At this moment, the eggshell is like a bowl, filled with egg yolk and egg white. The liquid inside is crystal clear and emits a fragrant aroma, making one's mouth water.

It is divided in two, and the inside of both halves of the eggshell is the same.

Little Flame Princess grinned foolishly, her movements swift as she opened her mouth and breathed fire.

The "egg bowls" were heated. Each "bowl" emitted a rich aroma. The liquid first bubbled, then began to turn golden and glossy.

Fang Yu was dumbfounded. This idiot really is a glutton.

I never expected him to have such skill.

Fang Yu was hungry, so he naturally wouldn't miss out on such a nourishing treat. He almost plunged headfirst into the "egg bowl".

They devoured the egg, which was as big as a stone mill, in the blink of an eye.

"Ring, ring (I haven't eaten yet!)"

Little Flame Princess was furious.

This is his Huo Huo, it wants to eat too!

"There are still two eggs left, bake some more!"

Fang Yu wiped his mouth.

In the end, Xiao Yan Ji and Tang Yue each ate the remaining two eggs.

Little Flame Princess ate an egg and was quite satisfied. She burped and lay there, even pulling out a stick and picking her teeth in a rather pretentious manner.

"Do you have teeth?" Fang Yu glanced at it.

"Ring, ring (Daddy used to do this, and he even enjoyed it.)" Little Flame Princess imitated you.

Fang Yu was speechless. Why learn these things when they don't learn the good ones?

He then ignored it and focused his mind to begin meditation.

Both of them had exhausted their magical energy during the previous battles.

Magic energy is everything; only with full energy can we continue searching for Leng Qing. In the wilderness, we can't afford to waste a single second.

……

Three Pools Islands

somewhere!

Our goal is "holy spring water"!
"But now he's been taken away by that woman from the inquisition," a scarred man said with dissatisfaction.

“Follow the trail, get my scent, I don’t believe she can escape,” a dark-skinned woman said viciously.
"The commotion from Seven Star Sea Coral's side must mean someone broke in."

"Reinforcements from the Inquisition?" someone else asked.

"How do we resolve this? The plan can't be ruined," the scarred man asked.

"It's very simple. The eggs of the Skull-devouring Beast are the Seven Star Sea Coral's favorite food. Even the Seven Star Sea Coral must enjoy the wonderful taste of the 'Skull-devouring Beast eggs'."

"We can lure the Seven-Star Coral Sea by using the Skull-Eating Beast Egg, which will act as an obstacle and make it easier to complete our plan!"

"Moreover, I prepared the skull-devouring beast eggs before I came to the island," the dark-skinned woman said proudly.

"As expected of Lord Salang's disciple, Xing Shan, you really do have something!" the scarred man said with a smile.

"You follow me to track them down, the rest of you go and bring the Seven Star Coral back," the dark-skinned woman commanded.

"understand!"

"..."

……

The journey was relatively smooth; apart from encountering some lone demons, they did not encounter large groups of demons.

The two searched the central area without incident and discovered a rather peculiar place.

“I’ve encountered this kind of design before.”

Fang Yu walked down the dark tunnel, looking at the surrounding scenery.

It is made of dark blue-black boulders, and each of the black boulders is carved with strange magical patterns and incantations.

This look.

I recalled the situation at the Holy Spring in Bo City back then.

"Where?" Tang Yue asked, puzzled.

“As you know, there’s a sacred spring in Bo City,” Fang Yu replied.

"Are you sure?" Tang Yue asked in surprise.

"It's pretty close," Fang Yu said.

"If that's the case, I think we're in big trouble!" Tang Yue sighed.

"You mean, it could be the Black Vatican?" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, if the Holy Spring exists here, I wonder why Leng Qing and the others were attacked and disappeared without a trace."

“After all, the Black Vatican is determined to obtain the Holy Spring,” Tang Yue said.

"Let's go in and take a look first; maybe we're wrong."

"kindness!"

Soon, the two arrived at the bottom of the passage.

At this moment, Tang Yue pointed to a spot on an iron plate and said:

"There is a protective barrier here, but the energy is not very strong. Just attack the weak point."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu summoned the golden ape. The golden ape emerged from the spatial passage, shook its body, and let out two "woo-woo" sounds.

"A few strikes from the Golden Ape should be enough to break the protective barrier."

Fang Yu saw through the trick and said to the golden ape, "Break through this iron plate."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The golden ape's body was covered in dark energy, and its palms attacked the iron plate like a storm, making a series of thuds.

soon.

With a crack, a fissure appeared in the protective layer. The golden ape glanced at it and exerted its strength once more.

With a loud bang, the barrier was finally shattered. The pitch-black hand pierced through the iron plate, twisting it up to reveal a dark passage.

"Well done, Golden Ape. I'll reward you when we get back. Now go back."

Fang Yu recalled the golden ape to the summoning plane and stepped forward to enter.

Tang Yue followed Fang Yu inside.

Upon entering the barrier, one can smell a strong stench of blood. If it weren't for the barrier separating them, this stench would have attracted demons from several kilometers away.

"It seems we're too late; a battle has taken place here!" Fang Yu said.

“Continue searching and see what information we can get,” Tang Yue replied.

The lighting fixtures illuminated the surroundings.

This is a huge stone chamber.

Fang Yu found some strange patterns on the walls of the stone chamber, but they had become blurred and indistinct over the years.

After walking for a few minutes, the two reached the bottom of the stone chamber.

Just as Fang Yu guessed, this place had a similar structure to the Holy Spring in Bo City, with huge stone pillars standing underground, supporting the entire underground space.

The stone pillars are all carved with magical patterns and incantations.

As expected, the function of these incantations should be to reveal the protective magic circle outside.

However, it has been tested by time.

Their energy was already depleted, which is why they were able to enter so easily.

Fang Yu looked at the magical patterns and incantations while marveling at them.

He then discovered that in the central area, a small ditch with a loop had been dug, and the "holy spring water" that should have flowed in the ditch had disappeared.

Fang Yu pondered.

It was taken by someone?
It seems this is the Black Vatican's target.

Is this a grand ceremony in the ancient capital?

A large amount of the sacred spring water will be needed at that time.

This matched his guess.
