Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

In some sections of the rift valley, the valley is very deep and narrow, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate and resulting in a dark atmosphere.

Looking up, all I could see were jagged, winding rocks, where the sun never shone. We needed to light a fire to provide light so we could continue on our way.

But in some places, the view suddenly opens up, as if you have stepped into a valley with plenty of light and gentle terrain.

If it weren't for the fact that the cracked wall could still be seen rising abruptly from the ground in the distance, it would really be no different from walking in an ordinary desert, which is quite astonishing.

Just like outside, the rift valley was eerily quiet, with only the clear sound of footsteps echoing around.

The group walked through the dimly lit, wide ravine, using flames and orbs of light to dispel the surrounding darkness and murky air, their eyes warily observing the demons hidden in the shadows.

"Go this way."

A young man wearing glasses, with a somewhat refined appearance, opened his eyes, which shimmered with a pale purple light. His gaze swept between the two passages in front of him, finally pointing to the entrance on the left.

The refined young man with glasses is a high-level mage with full mastery of the sound-based magic, a sound-based mage carefully selected by Mo Xie before this trip to Tianshan.

Furthermore, he selected mind-based mages, which are most needed in open-world combat, to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Given that this trip takes us to a place with particularly abundant ice elements, there are only three fire mages. Most of them are ice mages who are good at fighting in cold environments, so training here would be a great help.

"Yes, with Haotian in the team, it's much easier for us to navigate mazes like this."

Xiao Hui patted the refined-looking young man with glasses on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The sound system functions best in this environment, releasing sound waves that echo through the long rift valley and strike the stone walls, making it easy to sense which way is a dead end and which way is a way out.

However, it is rather strange that a seemingly refined young man would have such an imposing name as Haotian.

"Let's go."

With a sonic mage leading the way, the group traveled smoothly without encountering any dead ends. However, the fact that they did not encounter any demons kept them on their toes the entire time.

Another strange thing is that, judging from the number of people, there should have been many people entering the rift, but they were walking so smoothly, yet there wasn't a single person in sight.

"Moye, we..."

Mu Bai looked around and was about to speak when a hand gently covered his mouth.

Under his questioning gaze, Mo Xie put a finger to his lips, made a shushing gesture, shook his head slightly, and then pointed his finger upwards.

Upon seeing this, Mu Bai frowned, as if realizing something. His expression changed slightly, and his head stiffly tilted upwards.

The next second, his pupils contracted, and the scene before him truly made his heart tremble.

The stone wall above them had been covered with huge, ferocious spiders since some unknown time!
Each of them possesses enormous venom glands, and their pointed heads resemble the ferocious and ruthless appearance of a wicked woman. Their slender and soft claws can adhere completely to vertical stone walls, and they can move at high speeds without making a sound!

Those pairs of scarlet pupils reflected the likenesses of more than a dozen humans below, standing out starkly in the dim light, gleaming with a chilling glint! "It's...it's the Desert Bone-Eating Spider!"

Finally, the refined young man named Haotian pushed up his glasses and said the names of these spiders.

He maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but his trembling pupils clearly revealed his panic and astonishment; such a large-scale event had truly startled him.

Most magicians use ground waves to sense creatures on the ground, especially when demons are moving. Ground waves can effectively detect the sound of footsteps, and the more demons there are, the stronger the sound of footsteps.

Therefore, experienced earth-type hunters will not allow themselves to be surrounded by groups of demons, as demons always move in groups and their stomping sounds are more noticeable.

However, these desert bone-eating spiders... they crawled on the stone wall without making a sound, quietly approaching, quietly spying, so quiet it was chilling.

Most importantly, their numbers were enormous. They only noticed such a large group of demons when they arrived at such close range. If they had gotten any closer, they might not have even had time to set up defensive magic before being overwhelmed by them!

Mu Bai is a mid-level mage, so his perception is naturally not that strong. But the others are all high-level and super-level mages. Even they couldn't detect it in time, so you can imagine how terrifying these desert bone-eating spiders are.

"When exactly did these beasts get so close?"

Xiao Hui stared intently at the Desert Bone-Eating Spider above his head. As a high-level mage, it was truly his oversight that he hadn't noticed the demon approaching.

His face was full of vigilance, and he had already summoned the stars in his spiritual world, ready to use magic at any time.

"Uncle Hui, no!"

Seeing this, Mo Xie quickly raised his hand to stop Xiao Hui's plan, staring at the ferocious desert bone-eating spider, and said softly.

"They don't seem to be planning to attack us right now, so there's no need for us to cause trouble. We should focus on getting on our way."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and continued on their way, but their eyes remained constantly on the desert bone-eating spiders above. If these demons made any moves, they would have to unleash their magic.

Sure enough, the desert bone-eating spiders didn't attack anyone, but they did make a move, their sharp legs making a very subtle crawling sound.

As soon as the whole team moved, they followed and moved to a new location, staying close behind and impossible to shake off.

These things are always climbing and hanging above everyone's heads, watching and looking down, waiting for an opportunity to strike, which does give people an extremely irritating sense of pressure.

Nobody likes being stared at by hundreds or thousands of spiders, and you have to keep looking up and watching to see if one is lying quietly on the nearby rock wall, ready to pounce when they're not looking!
Seeing that the desert bone-eating spiders had not yet made a move, the group continued onward. After walking about five or six hundred meters, they came to a wide gorge.

It was a relatively direct, large crack, about three hundred meters wide, with the sky overhead and rocky cliffs on both sides, making it impossible for the desert bone-eating spiders to hide in those jagged and strange rock crevices.

After walking about another hundred meters, Xiao Hui suddenly stopped, his sharp gaze fixed on a huge rock as if trying to see through it, and said in a cold voice.

"Who's hiding in there? Come out now!" (End of Chapter)
