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

Chapter 354 Reunion with Jiang Shaoxu

The Tarim Fortress City is entirely constructed of gray-white rock.

Centered on the entire Tarim Fortress City, there are many towns within a 100-kilometer radius of the basin that rely mainly on mines, quarries, wind power bases, and light source bases.

Furthermore, these towns are all within the security zone. Every week, a new batch of troops from the Tarim Fortress are rotated and assigned to these towns to guard them, preventing the invasion of demons from the desert, plateau, and caves.

At this time, Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue, who had just returned from their training in the wild, entered the city.

Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman with an amazing bust stepped out.

"Fang Yu, Ning Xue!" The charming woman glanced at Fang Yu and Mu Ning Xue, and called out their names in surprise, her tone filled with undisguised joy.

"Jiang Shaoxu, it's been a long time!" Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue smiled.

"Long time no see." Jiang Shaoxu stepped forward and complained, "You promised me during our time at the academy that you would find clues to the totem, but you didn't keep your promise."

"I encountered a few things, sorry for the delay," Fang Yu explained.

"You're not getting away this time."

"No, it won't," Fang Yu replied.

His strength has also reached a bottleneck, and it's time for him to step up.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Shaoxu had other business outside the city and arranged to meet Fang Yu in the afternoon, so she left first.

After watching Jiang Shaoxu leave, Mu Ningxue, standing next to Fang Yu, asked in confusion, "Totem?"

"Okay!" Fang Yu nodded.

"I didn't expect Jiang Shaoxu to know clues about such an ancient creature," Mu Ningxue remarked.

“One of her relatives once set foot on the land of her motherland in search of clues about these ancient creatures, but in the end, he was nowhere to be found. However, he did leave behind some traces of totems that he found.”

“Coincidentally, I also have a connection with totems, so Jiang Shaoxu came looking for me.”

"Moreover, finding clues to the totem is crucial to improving my strength. However, there were too many things to do after the academy closed, so I neglected it," Fang Yu explained.

"When are we going?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Let's wait until this is over!"

"Let's not talk about that now. You must be tired from the journey. Let's go back to the city and rest for now," Fang Yu said.

"it is good!"

……

The two quickly entered the city, accompanied by wind and sand.

The two found a hotel and rested for a while...

In the afternoon, at a teahouse.

"Fang Yu, what are you doing here?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, nudging Fang Yu.

"There just happens to be some resources here for Yan Ji's advancement. What about you?" Fang Yu asked knowingly.

He knew about this; Jiang Shaoxu had only come here to investigate her brother's affairs.

“I’m here to confirm some things. I’m following the totem-like footprints left by a relative. I’m going to walk this path and then say goodbye to him.” Jiang Shaoxu said, her captivating eyes filled with longing and memories.

"Jiang Shaojun".

"You know?" Jiang Shaoxu paused, somewhat puzzled.

"Inside the Three-Step Tower of Mingzhu Academy, there are his records and the totem objects he collected. I suppose I have some connection with him," Fang Yu said solemnly.

The reason he was able to gain the favor of the Vermilion Bird's totem was largely due to the black bird's feathers.

Jiang Shaoxu paused for a moment. This was quite possible, because his brother had spent a long time at Mingzhu Academy, and his early companions were also from Mingzhu Academy.

"Where do you plan to go next?" Fang Yu asked.

"Dunhuang," Jiang Shaoxu said. "Okay, when do we leave?"

"I have other things to do. Let's meet in Shanghai in five days."

Fang Yu agreed so readily because the totem would not only allow him to advance smoothly, but now he also had a beautiful woman by his side in the wild, which was a great joy.

In addition, Jiang Shaoxu has no defensive ability, so she will be at your mercy and bullied at will.

"Do you have some dangerous thoughts?" Jiang Shaoxu, a mind-based mage, noticed Fang Yu's emotional fluctuations and immediately asked.

Fang Yu felt embarrassed for a moment, then came to his senses and asked in confusion, "What?"

"Don't pretend, do you really think I can't tell?" Jiang Shaoxu leaned closer, her face full of skepticism.

Seeing this, Fang Yu could only try to brush it off casually.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaoxu wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "You scumbag, remember to wait for me in Shanghai in five days, or you'll know what will happen."

After Jiang Shaoxu finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the door.

……

A day later, at nightfall, a large group of people dressed in gray-blue military uniforms stopped at a post station that had once been buried.

A hundred men surrounded the Gold War Hunters in the arena, and everyone in the arena, including the leader of the super-level mage, Ge Ming, had been taken into custody.

At that moment, a sinister-looking man stepped out from a dark corridor.

"Hahaha, I finally got it!"

Shi Qianshou gently stroked the Earth Core in his palm, as if he were seeing his own child.

"Oh, I almost forgot, the energy of the Earth Core is almost gone and needs to be replenished." Shi Qianshou suddenly remembered something, and a terrifying smile appeared on his face.

He set his sights on the townspeople of the Tarim Fortress.

Neither his own subordinates nor the barrier cores he obtained could replenish the vast, contained earth cores.

The core of a town's barrier is merely an insignificant fragment of the core of the earth. A full core of the earth, when abundant, can provide enough energy to protect a city of nearly a million people.

Military Commander Shi Qianshou looked at the Golden War Hunters who were sealed in the arena and said to the military mages, "Kill them."

"What are you talking about?" Ge Ming questioned.

Suddenly, he saw the Earth Core in Shi Qianshou's hand, and everything became clear.

Therefore, the group leader Ge Ming came to the Tarim Basin to carry out a land reclamation operation, hoping to take this opportunity to thoroughly establish the name of the Golden War Hunter Group.

Little did they expect that they would now be shackled by a group of traitorous military mages, bound by magical seals, unable to unleash their magic.

In China, hunter mages naturally need to cooperate with the demands of military mages.

These military magistrates imprisoned them under the pretext of military secrets, and now it's too late for them to realize what's happening.

Ge Ming glared angrily at Shi Qianshou: "You were the ones who destroyed this post station eleven years ago, weren't you?"

“That’s right, I’m the one who destroyed them,” Shi Qianshou said with a smile.

Without making any attempt to conceal it, he believed that these people had absolutely no chance of leaving alive.

Just as the people present were about to make their move, the space in front of Shi Qianshou trembled, and a masked figure stepped out from a spatial rift.

……

"Ice Sword"

A deep blue longsword formed from condensed ice crystals appeared out of thin air in Fang Yu's palm.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of Shi Qianshou's lack of reaction time, Fang Yu's ice sword pierced into his body. Ice crystals filled the air around the ice sword, and the "Ice Explosion" spell was released. The ice and snow shattered and exploded instantly, and an extremely terrifying ice element storm burst towards Shi Qianshou!
