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

Chapter 278 The Hidden Conspiracy

now.

The Sahara region.

Fang Yu was still pondering, and many questions remained in his mind about this matter.

Why was that high-level mage Devon able to obtain information about the 'Wind Calamity Fruit' and take it away?

Furthermore, in the original timeline, the continental magic association 'Cape of Good Hope Magic Castle' was quite concerned about what happened when the Chinese National Government team entered the Sahara.

If this were an individual, it wouldn't be so bad. But if it involves a continental magic association, then with the power of an entire continent, have they already stolen even more of the fruits of the elemental spirits?
Their hidden combat power is quite terrifying.

"Ring ring~~~~~"

Just as Fang Yu was pondering, Little Flame Princess floated up to Fang Yu's side and called out softly.

She then explained the situation.

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Yanji's story, and was somewhat surprised.

The Sandstorm Fiend wants my help to find out who obtained the Wind Calamity Fruit.

For someone like Fang Yu to investigate this matter himself, the fact that a group of super-level mages could be dispatched speaks volumes about the power of the person behind it, and Fang Yu is currently incapable of even reaching that level.

At this moment, Little Flame Princess spoke again: "She knows about the Earth Core, the Earth Core with the attribute of Earth Core Fire."

Fang Yu was speechless at Little Flame Princess's sudden outburst. This chubby girl couldn't grasp the essentials. If she had said so earlier, he wouldn't have neglected to help the Sandstorm Fiend complete this task wholeheartedly.
Fang Yu stroked his chin and thought about it carefully. Putting aside the Sandstorm Fiend's combat power, there were too many things he could plan in the Sahara region by gaining the Sandstorm Fiend's favor, not to mention that even the Earth Fire Core had now appeared.

Fang Yu then glanced at the little flame porcelain doll clinging to him, and nodded to the Sandstorm Fiend, saying, "Okay."

Having achieved its goal, the Sandstorm Demon remained silent. Sand clung to its feet, the wind howled, and dust billowed as it stepped into the Sahara's labyrinthine realm in an instant.

Fang Yu wasn't in a hurry to complete this task. Even if he learned about the 'Earthfire Core' now, he wouldn't be able to get it, as there were definitely terrifying demons guarding the area.

As for the continental magic association, Fang Yu thought of a beautiful snake woman; perhaps the key to breaking the deadlock could be found through her.

Now, all Fang Yu needs to do is improve his strength as quickly as possible, break through to the super-level, so that he can better plan ahead.

……

Meanwhile, far away from the Sahara, in a mountain peak and cloud-shrouded cliff area...

At this moment, the mountaintop was shattered, and in one place, an astonishing lightning mark appeared, with rocks and stones flying everywhere.

"Waaaaah~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Above the sea of ​​clouds, a being enveloped in a blaze of lightning looked down upon a figure atop the mountain peak. Suddenly, a deep voice emanated from the lightning being, and an immense energy emanated from him, enveloping the sea of ​​clouds for thousands of meters.

"Rumble~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded, and as the voice of the thunder-shaped creature above the sea of ​​clouds grew louder and louder, the thunder also grew louder.

It was as if a celestial army of thunder drums from heaven had suddenly gathered on a thin layer of clouds and started playing loudly, and then it became unstoppable.

In less than a second, sparks of lightning flickered in the purple ripples of light. A second later, strands of lightning, as thin as serpents, gradually filled the clear sky.

After a while, the thick and powerful lightning bolts intertwined wildly, illuminating the mountaintop and the sky with unparalleled brightness.

Below, a figure in black robes stared intently at the sea of ​​clouds, exuding a cold and dark aura; his face was as if carved by a knife. "Boom!!!!!"

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, like a giant cable being flung towards the man in black.

"Boom!!!"

The man in black robes crossed his fists, and the four elemental powers on his body surged up like a dragon ascending to the sky, condensing into a defensive stance that shook off the lightning, causing it to deflect.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The lightning struck the nearby cliff face hard, cleaving through the hard, flat rock, and the resulting sparks and flashes are still terrifying to this day.

However, above the sea of ​​clouds, hundreds of purplish-black lightning bolts condensed again and crashed down, creating a shockwave covering a considerable area.

The moment the dense, towering lightning touched the black-robed man, it unleashed an extremely powerful impact, shattering his defenses and burying him directly into the mountain rocks.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the man in black robes was revealed to have tattered clothes, charred hair, and, upon closer inspection, skin cracked open on his arms. His face was deathly pale, leaving him speechless for a long time.

But the offensive was not over. The dense, towering lightning continued to gather, and even more astonishingly, there were now no fewer than a thousand bolts of lightning within sight, accompanied by deafening thunder as they fell...

"Heavenly ice has solidified!"

A cold and beautiful woman instantly appeared beside the man in black robes, her aura spreading out, and an absolute ice domain condensed above them, causing countless layers of ice to appear in the air, looking like ice clouds...

As the lightning descended from the sky, its speed and power were constantly hampered by the condensed ice clouds.

The aloof woman instantly grabbed the man in black and decisively made her escape.

Not long after the two escaped, the thunderous phenomenon did not last long either. As if signaling the end of the battle, the sky turned gloomy again, the land was in ruins, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Meanwhile, a thousand meters away from the summit of Yunhai Mountain, the man in black robes said angrily, "I miscalculated; I almost got caught."

At this moment, the aloof woman said, "Let's go. Anyway, the news has been confirmed, so our goal has been achieved."

……

"bell!!!!"

Fang Yu picked up his phone and checked the information. He learned that Mu Ningxue and the others had already joined up with the National Government team. They had already completed the challenge of the Egyptian Pavilion, obtained their medals, and were heading to Pushini City to complete their training mission.

Fang Yu was speechless. If he hadn't encountered the Sandstorm Fiend, the trip would have been a complete waste.

There was still some distance between the Sahara and Pushini, and Fang Yu was too lazy to take a car.

“Buzz buzz!!!”

Fang Yu controlled the starlight, causing it to twinkle. He unleashed a high-level summoning spell, creating an intricate and complex black magic circle that spewed forth a thick stream of dark magic energy.

The black wolf strode out, its tall and slender body standing still, exuding a dark aura, appearing even more handsome and powerful than before.

It's worth mentioning that after returning from the northern corner of the Scorching Plains, the Black Wolf absorbed and digested the resources purchased by Fang Yu, elevating its rank to a higher level. Unfortunately, while it has improved, its actual function remains unchanged.

"Boom!!!!!!!"

At this moment, the black wolf moved its four limbs, its power bursting out instantly. Black light filled the air as it charged out like lightning, leaving behind heavy black afterimages. The black wolf sped towards the city of Pushini.
