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

Chapter 574 Going deeper
It wasn't until almost nightfall that the temperature eased up a bit. Fang Yu found a quiet spot, swept through the demons within a few miles, and only after confirming that there were no tribes or powerful demons there did he and Mu Ningxue set up a tent to rest.

Of course, when dealing with these scattered minor demons, Fang Yu would simply burn them to ashes.

Although this area is relatively safe, the creatures in the jungle have an incredibly keen sense of smell. If the blood isn't dealt with thoroughly in one go, the stench might attract some strange and powerful monsters from the forest!

That evening, Fang Yu lit a fire, and after having dinner with Mu Ningxue, they sat in the tent.

Mu Ningxue nestled against Fang Yu, the familiar masculine scent filling her nostrils. Her tense mind, which had been on edge all day, finally relaxed, and she clung tightly to Fang Yu with both hands.

Looking at the person in his arms, Fang Yu comforted him, "You're tired, how about I start tomorrow?"

"I want to follow you!"

Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, Mu Ningxue looked at him firmly.

Instead of responding, Fang Yu took action.

Mu Ningxue was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she found herself already laid flat on the ground.

"It's dangerous here, don't..." Mu Ningxue refused.

"With me here, there's no danger."

As soon as Fang Yu finished speaking, he began kissing her repeatedly.
Of course, they are also constantly making moves.
Before long, Mu Ningxue felt a cool breeze, the kind of coolness she had been longing for while walking that morning.

Unexpectedly, while he was afraid of the appearance of special demons, Fang Yu didn't seem to care at all...

"crash"

"crash"

Here, the torrential rain comes almost without warning!

If Fang Yu hadn't used spatial power to stabilize the cave, this place would probably have been buried.

Such a violent storm seems to be a special ceremony in which the Qinling Mountains welcome them.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mu Ningxue clung even tighter to Fang Yu's side.

The power of nature is something no human or demon can resist. You can survive in places suitable for you, but if you force your way into places unsuitable for you, there will only be one outcome. Even some demons are no exception; if they insist on surviving in places unsuitable for them, they will likely face annihilation.

This rain is like a warning: get out of here!
"We..." Mu Ningxue looked up at Fang Yu, hearing the commotion outside, "Why don't we leave here?"

“Now that you’re here, you can’t just leave like this. Besides, with me here, I won’t let you get hurt in the slightest. Don’t you trust me?” Fang Yu gently pecked her and said softly.

Fang Yu felt he shouldn't miss such a natural cultivation "treasure trove." Otherwise, he feared he would regret it to death. Moreover, the dense forest was different from the labyrinth; he was confident he could leave this place eventually!
Mu Ningxue pressed herself against Fang Yu's chest. Although she was afraid of becoming a burden and dreaded being here, Fang Yu's comfort gradually calmed her down.

Because with his protection, I won't get hurt at all.

If that's the case, why be afraid? Noticing Mu Ningxue's unusual silence, Fang Yu tossed aside the towel he had just used to wipe his sweat, lifted her chin, and brought her face to face with him: "What are you thinking about?"

Mu Ningxue bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you, and I don't want you to go any further on your own."

“How can you be a burden? Wouldn’t the nights be even more boring without you?” Fang Yu said.

His long fingers gently stroked her smooth cheek, and Fang Yu asked again, "Want to continue?"

"what?"

Mu Ningxue was dumbfounded.
She's worried about their safety here, what is this guy thinking?!

Fang Yu gently nibbled on her earlobe, his voice soft: "Have you missed me these past few days?"

Mu Ningxue was a little embarrassed and gently patted his chest: "Stop fooling around, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Uh~~
Outside the makeshift tent, the rain poured down relentlessly, drowning out all other sounds! The next morning, the sun shone brightly, but the intense heat followed!
However, after a night of venting, Fang Yu seemed to feel nothing at all.

About ten minutes later, Mu Ningxue also came out, packed up the tent, and the two had a simple breakfast before continuing to venture deeper into the jungle.

After traveling for a while, in the dense jungle, various sounds, along with the almost imperceptible wind, came from all directions, and occasionally, even demons would linger nearby.

However, since these lesser demons didn't rush to their deaths, Fang Yu didn't bother with them.

Although Mu Ningxue felt better after Fang Yu's reassurance last night, she was still very wary as she walked through the forest.

There was no other way; this place was far too dangerous, and she couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest!

Even Fang Yu was actually on high alert. He had no choice; if it were just him, he wouldn't need to be so, but with Mu Ningxue by his side, it was a different story.

This dense jungle harbors countless unknown threats. A direct confrontation would be manageable, but the sheer number of demons here is overwhelming. Many of them possess magical abilities you have no idea what they might be using.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

As they walked, suddenly, a series of roars came from the trees!
This area is almost completely covered!

As for how large the area was, Fang Yu had no way of knowing, but one thing he was sure of was that they had probably wandered into the territory of a certain tribe!

The roars rose and fell continuously, coming from all directions!

When they entered before, they were probably still outside their territory and hadn't gotten close to its depths, but now it's different; they have likely stepped into the depths of each other's territory.
With a series of roars, figures four or five meters tall appeared on the massive tree branch.

"Dark Eagle!"

They were all jet black, but their bodies were made of hard, muscular flesh. They were eagle demons, and among eagles, they were of superior bloodline.

"There's a Crimson Eagle at the commander level!"

Mu Ningxue, who was behind, saw a crimson eagle that was eight meters tall and gave a warning.

Their numbers grew rapidly, and in an instant, they numbered in the thousands!

Moreover, there are five crimson eagles!

The fact that there are so many leaders means that this must be a tribe, and a powerful demon tribe at that!

The Dark Eagles from all directions are still heading this way!

"Charge to the left." Fang Yu naturally didn't intend to fight to the death with the other party. After sensing the situation for a moment, he said to Mu Ningxue.

There wasn't much activity on the left side, and he estimated that there shouldn't be any powerful demons present.

"Okay!" Mu Ningxue paused for a moment, then immediately nodded.

She was still on guard, thinking about how to deal with it.

When Fang Yu suggested rushing to the left, she was slightly taken aback. There was no way around it; Fang Yu's reaction speed was just too fast.
……

"Ho~~~"

"Ho~~~"

As soon as the two started to move, the hawks and red hawks on the branches jumped down to block their path.
