Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Heading towards the place ravaged by lightning, Li Man, who had already gone far ahead, was naturally unaware of the tragic fate of the group of hunter mages behind her; everything happened so suddenly.

She continued her search following the lightning, encountering many corpses killed by lightning magic along the way. She was convinced that she was getting closer and closer to the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake.

"Death God of Dongting Lake" is a term that has recently been circulating among the Hunter Alliance. Large-scale deaths of giant lizard-headed monsters have occurred inexplicably in many areas around Dongting Lake.

After people discovered that the deaths of those lizard-headed giant monsters were nothing more than a few different kinds, they called the murderer the Death God of Dongting Lake!
Li Man was a military personnel who came to inspect the matter. Dongting Lake has always been a sensitive and turbulent area, and it is extremely important to Biyi City and the surrounding cities. She would not let any detail slip by.

The worst fear is that a new ruler-level creature will be born, or even a stronger creature will appear, which would be another significant blow to Biyi City!

Previous investigations revealed that one of the leaders of the Lizard-Skull Giant Demon, the Giant Lizard False Dragon, died mysteriously, and his death was exactly in line with the usual style of the Death God of Dongting Lake. Most importantly, his soul was also obliterated!
Perhaps it was around that time that the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake appeared. So far, he has killed quite a few Lizard-Skull Giants, breaking the balance between some of the demons in Dongting Lake.

If she continues to let it kill, there is a high possibility that another riot will break out in Dongting Lake. She must investigate this thoroughly.

"Strange, my legs feel a bit heavy. Even though I haven't been out for a while, my physical strength shouldn't have dropped this quickly, right?"

Li Man walked through a swampy area, but suddenly felt weak and breathless, and had to find a dry place to rest.

Then, as if she had realized something, she hurriedly took off her boots and checked the condition of her legs.

"Damn it, how could I be so careless!"

Upon closer inspection, Li Man finally realized the reason for her weakness: her legs had been infected with swamp poison at some point, and her fair feet had turned completely purple!

Because she was only recently transferred to the Dongting Lake Plain, she was not very familiar with the environment here, and had no absolute precautions against the poisonous creatures.

What Li Man didn't know was that she had just been in the southern part of the valley, where the swamp water was poisonous. This poison not only spread upon contact but also seeped into the skin of living things through the gases emitted by the swamp.

The creatures of the swamp are immune to this toxicity, but the non-swamp creatures... once they step into this area, they can only wait to slowly sink into the swamp and become one of the countless skeletons at the bottom of the gray swamp.

"Something's not right. I followed the veterans' warnings strictly and took all the necessary precautions against poison. Plus, with my own cultivation level, there's no reason I should have been infected with this poison so easily. Could it be a new type of toxin...? What is it that releases such potent toxicity!"

Li Man raised her jade-like foot and sat on a sun-dried stone, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking worried.

She brought all sorts of antidotes and tried them all, but to her horror, she found that she couldn't suppress the swamp poison that was gradually creeping up her feet!
The swamp is a mixture of water and earth elements. She had tried both water-based and earth-based antidotes, but they were completely ineffective. This was going to be a big problem!

Li Man was not afraid of demons at all; she would kill as many as they came. But poison was definitely the most disgusting thing in the world.

She didn't know much about poisons, and having come alone without proper preparation, she was at a loss when faced with such a stubborn poison.

"The hunter mages have all gone far away... Could it be that they sent a signal for help?"

"The military will send people over, but... if they find out that I was halfway through my mission and then got poisoned and had to be brought back to the military in a sorry state, wouldn't they laugh their heads off even more? Those old fogies have long disliked me getting involved in their affairs at the Biyi Military Region!"

Li Man gritted her teeth and finally gave up on calling for help.

But surrendering was not her style. She continued to try various antidotes, but the potency of the poison far exceeded her expectations.

As the purplish-black poison gradually crept up to her knees, Li Man regretted not sending out a distress signal.

As darkness fell, she felt incredibly drowsy, and even sending a signal became difficult.

Signals need a framework; ordinary signals are just signal lights for demons. Li Man, feeling dizzy and panting, leaned against the now-cold stone.

The poison climbed higher and higher, but Li Man could barely muster any strength. She faintly heard the eerie cries of lizard-headed giants around her, and her eyelids involuntarily drooped shut. She wasn't sure if this place was secluded enough, but all she could do now was pray that the lizard-headed giants wouldn't find her, otherwise…

“Zizzizi!!!”

Just as Li Man was about to drift off to sleep, she vaguely felt a powerful electric current flash past her, accurately piercing through a giant lizard-headed monster crawling towards her and killing it instantly.

Upon seeing this, her heart skipped a beat, and she cursed inwardly.

How could she be so unlucky? Not only did she encounter a mysterious poison that even a high-level mage like her couldn't resist, but the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake appeared before she even lost consciousness!
Lightning strikes—that's the way most Lizardhead Giants die. She was certain that the figure gradually approaching her was the culprit she was looking for!
Despite trying to exert her strength, Ke Liman was unable to move at all, and eventually her eyelids slowly closed.

She only felt herself being picked up and fall into someone's arms. Before she fell asleep, she felt that this chest was safe and warm...

a few minutes ago……

"That was close! If I hadn't used the fourth level of Shadow Escape to lure it away, I might not have been able to escape."

Mo Xie kept looking back to prevent the centipede from chasing after her, and then sighed.

"If only we could cast high-level spatial magic, teleportation would be the easiest way to retreat in this situation."

The space system has only recently broken through and has not yet had time to control the star particles, so it cannot release instantaneous movement.

As expected of a commander-level being, he used all his strength, plus Xiao Lei's possession. Unexpectedly, that swamp venom centipede was quite formidable. What troubled him most was the creature's poison; everything else was fine.

If he hadn't deliberately shown mercy, that swamp venomous centipede would likely have already become a victim of his blade.

Mo Xie looked at the egg in her hand and smiled gently. It was one of the key parts of the plan, and thankfully she had obtained it.

Just as he was looking for a place to rest, he spotted a beautiful and sexy woman lying on a rock not far ahead.

Her boots were lying to the side, and her trousers were rolled up, revealing delicate feet and slender calves covered in purplish-black stains, clearly indicating poisoning.

That woman was so careless. Didn't she know that this area is off-limits to wander around?
Meanwhile, a giant lizard-headed monster approached from the side, baring its fangs and gleaming with ferocity. The woman was deeply poisoned and certainly unable to resist.

Mo Xie frowned, casually released a lightning seal that killed the lizard-headed giant demon, and quickly walked over.

He had already figured out the woman's identity; it must be Li Man from the Military Intelligence Bureau. He hadn't expected to run into her here.

However, he was lucky, since his plan happened to require the power of this high-level mage.

Seeing that the poison on Li Man's legs was still spreading, Mo Xie frowned, knowing that he had to suppress the poison as soon as possible.

He was a mid-level healing mage and had brought potions specifically for dealing with swamp poison, so the treatment wasn't difficult.

"Sigh, you woman, it's lucky you met me, otherwise you would have been in big trouble in the wilderness."

Mo Xie lifted the soft, jade-like body in her arms and quickly left, searching for a place to settle down. (End of Chapter)
