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

Chapter 415 A colossal figure
...

The group traveled for hundreds of miles.

Just then, Old Hara whispered, "Be careful, Snake Mountain is two kilometers away, you must not disturb them!"

He spoke very softly, afraid of disturbing the snakes here.

Looking into the distance, Fang Yu saw a strangely shaped hill in the murky fog. Its outline seemed to writhe, and every now and then, figures would roll or fall off it.

And those were all snake demons!

Just then, Mu Bai frowned and said, "They seem to be moving!"

Old Hara was stunned for a moment, and looked in that direction carefully. When he saw the snake mountain clearly, Old Hara's face turned pale!
"It's over, it's over! They've found us! No way, no way!!" Old Ha cried out sharply when he saw this.

Everyone looked over when they heard this.

“Crack!!”

Strange sounds came from within Snake Mountain. In an instant, the entire Snake Mountain collapsed, followed by a writhing, rustling sound.

Even more terrifying, on the ground, all sorts of twisting, grotesque bodies were crawling toward this area.

It's incredibly creepy!

"What's going on? Didn't you choose a path where you wouldn't be discovered? And we listened to you and rode on those camels!" The mercenary captain, having also witnessed the horrific scene, shouted angrily.

Old Hara shook his head, then suddenly he thought of something, staring intently at Ferrero, and said, "I know, it's all your fault! You were spreading that perfume on them, that scent will attract all the female snakes, and once the female snakes come, all the male snakes will follow!"

"My Miracle Flower Dew can repel demons, how could it possibly attract demons!" Ferrero was also a little annoyed. He was already being beaten, but he didn't understand why he should be made to take the blame.

"Your rare flower dew must contain added chlorine powder. The smell of this stuff is very similar to our medicinal herb realgar. I think the snakes, who are sensitive to smells, caught this scent," Mu Bai analyzed casually.

The merchant was equally desperate. Having lived here for so many years, how could he not know what it meant to be targeted by Snake Mountain? Even if Cairo sent a large contingent of mage guards to protect them, they were probably doomed!

Seeing this, Old Hara happened to spot someone about to jump and hurriedly shouted, "Don't get off the camel! Don't get off under any circumstances!"

"If we don't run, are we just going to wait here to die? These camel-like beasts are so slow!" several uncles said.

Upon hearing this, Chad, the mercenary captain, said coldly, "We've taken the money, so we'll do our best to protect you. But if you break the rules and attract more demons, I'll kill you before they even arrive!"

Chad's threat silenced everyone.

This scene moved Mo Fan deeply: "My methods were too gentle before, which is why it took so much effort to save people."

Zhao Manyan said helplessly, "What kind of time is this to still have these thoughts?"

Then, Chad looked at Ferrero and said unfriendly, "Do you have any perfume left?"

“Yes,” Ferrero replied.

"Give me."

"for you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me now!" Chad snapped. Ferrero's eyes flashed with malice; he couldn't understand why this third-rate mage dared to order him around like that.

At this moment, Teacher Vani spoke up: "Ferrero, give him everything."

Ferrero did not disobey his teacher's orders and gave all the rare flower dew to Chad.

Seeing this, Chad hurriedly drew a moonlit star map, and the space opened up, with an armored beast with three horns on its head stepping out.

Chad looked at his summoned beast and muttered to himself, "Sorry, old friend."

While everyone was wondering, Chad quickly opened all the rare flower dews and poured them onto different parts of the armored beast, even letting the beast drink three or four bottles directly.

The next moment, the armored beast began to gallop wildly in another direction, its heavy iron hooves pounding the ground. As it ran, its unique fragrance continued to waft through the air, detectable from a great distance.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned. At that moment, the merchant was also very glad that he had chosen an experienced hiring team.

Although the armored beast lured away some of the snake demons, it was a type of food that snakes didn't particularly like. So, once the snakes discovered that it was an armored beast emitting a strange smell, they would definitely continue to chase after it, since they were carrying not only that smell but also the scent of living people with them.

However, this buffer period gave them a chance to escape.

As everyone used their respective methods, the camel's speed increased significantly. Wind magic accelerated the movement, while earth magic solidified the ground, barely extending the time it took for the snakes to catch up.

The snakes swarmed across the yellowish-green earth, weaving a black, brown, and red carpet of snakes that undulated in waves.

Fortunately, they were finally approaching the Cairo area. On the other side of the long ravine, there were mage guards protecting them, and once they reached that point, they would be safe.

Upon seeing this, a man wearing a Weifang overcoat on the defensive line roared angrily, "Are you all a bunch of idiots? Cairo is already under lockdown. You can force your way in like this, but you've even brought Snake Mountain here. Believe me, I'll kill you all right here right now!"

Cairo is already chaotic enough, and these unscrupulous merchants are still trying to make a profit. In the end, it will be these guards who have to deal with the snake swarms that are lured here.
Despite his anger, he had no choice but to order his men to take action due to international conventions.

There was a large group of ice mages on this long trench defense line. When they collectively cast a freezing array, the entire trench was covered with white frost, and the ice layer soon became more than a meter thick!
The snake demons are afraid of ice magic. In cold areas, they cannot maintain their body temperature and are easily frozen to death. In the end, they can only leave this place in resentment.

"Moo~!!!"

Just as they had narrowly escaped death, they heard a series of roars.

Chad, the mercenary captain who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and was shocked to find a horned beast among the snakes. It was covered in blood and adorned with snake demons!
The unicorn was incredibly resilient. Even though its outer shell had been completely gnawed away, it still desperately ran towards the long ditch, its blood trailing for a very long distance as it stumbled and staggered.

“Pears!” The old mercenary captain looked incredulous, his body trembling violently.

I originally thought my contracted beast had perished, because no creature could survive in that situation.

But the vicious and cruel serpent demon could have easily ended the life of the armored horned beast, but instead it was torturing it!
"Bastards, I'm going to kill you all!" Chad roared furiously.

"Buzz!"

Fang Yu's eyes flashed with silver light, and the power of space suppressed Chad, rendering him unable to move an inch.

"Don't go looking for death. I happen to need something, and I'll save your summoned beast just for bringing the person back."
