Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Ying'er, why don't you stay here and keep your mother company?"

Zhao Yulin gave his daughter some instructions, glanced at Jiang Feng one last time, and then led the Zhao family group away from Pingdingshan.

Now that they have come to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, especially after surviving the fire disaster, this place is full of treasures, so they cannot waste their time.

Now that Jiang Feng's matter is settled, we must seize the opportunity before the other teams make their move and quickly gather resources.

"Mo Xie, it's time for us to leave. I'll transfer the bounty to you later. See you next time."

Nan Yu stepped forward and gently gave Mo Xie a hug. She was actually reluctant to part ways. How strange, she wondered when she had become so sentimental.

Mo Xie was taken aback, and then gave Nan Yu a hug as well.

"Well, see you next time."

Watching Nan Yu and the other military mages escort the ghost woman away, Mo Xie crossed his arms and leaned against the trunk of the Star Language Tree, turning his gaze to the mother and daughter sitting beside him.

"Bro, are you sure you don't want to come with us to scavenge for resources?"

At this moment, Mo Fan led everyone over and asked.

"Ah."

Mo Xie withdrew his gaze, walked to the front of the crowd, and said with a smile.

"This is a rare opportunity. Although you have almost plundered the resources around here, there are still places further away that have not been explored. We should take as much as we can."

He glanced at Jiang Feng and Zhao Chenying, then at the Star Language Ancient Tree behind him, and finally at Ding Yumin.

"As for me, I'll stay here to keep them company and take care of some things... Yu Mian, please take good care of them while I'm not in the team. I'll feel more at ease with you here."

"I see."

Although Ding Yumin also wanted to stay, the North Corner of Zhuoyuan was ultimately fraught with danger. Apart from Mo Xie, she was the only high-level mage in the team. If they encountered a commander-level demon, they would need a high-level mage present.

After everyone in Pingdingshan left, Moxie walked to the mother and daughter. One wanted to speak but couldn't, and the other wanted to listen but couldn't understand. It was truly frustrating.

"Here, try out this newly developed mind-based magical artifact. Now you should be able to chat."

Jiang Feng picked up the magical artifact handed to her by Mo Xie, inputted her thoughts into it, and then a melodious and pleasant mature female voice rang out.

[Yinger?]

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chenying was stunned, then tears streamed down her face as she sobbed and threw herself into Jiang Feng's arms.

Seeing this, Mo Xie chuckled and stopped disturbing the mother and daughter, heading towards the Star Language Tree.

What happened? The Qilin pendant clearly sensed the Starry Sky Tree before, but there was no follow-up afterward. Why is that...?

He was very puzzled and slowly circled the tree trunk to observe it, his palm covering the seemingly rough but actually quite smooth bark.

Suddenly, the Qilin pendant on his chest trembled and then emitted a golden light.

At the same time, the Starry Sky Tree seemed to hear the sound, its branches began to tremble, and its leaves rustled as if in response.

The next second, a hole of light the size of a person suddenly opened up in the thick tree trunk in front of her. Mo Xie was caught off guard and sucked into the tree trunk. Then the hole of light disappeared completely, as if it had never happened.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the mother and daughter who were catching up. When they arrived, they saw Mo Xie enter the Star Language Ancient Tree and disappear the next second.

"Moye?!"

Zhao Chenying ran over and kept patting the trunk of the Starry Sky Tree, asking anxiously.

"Mom, what happened? How did Moye get inside the tree?" [Well... Mom isn't sure either.]

Jiang Feng shook her head in confusion. She had never seen such a scene before and didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, Mo Xie had been taken to the huge space under the Star Language Tree, or more accurately, to the bottom of the entire northern corner of the Scorching Plains.

The area is entangled with vines, resembling a thorny thicket, yet it is permeated with a rich aura of fire element.

Mo Xie felt that he was in a strange space. He opened his eyes and looked around. After observing for a while, he realized that this was not a tree vine, but an underground space.

It's hard to imagine how many underground levels there are to create a space roughly the size of ten football fields.

Of course, this is only the size of the underground space. When Mo Xie observed the stone wall, he found that three-quarters of the roots and vines had entered the mountain wall.

Clearly, the roots of this Star Language Tree are probably much wider than he could see.

When Mo Xie looked down into the bottom of the underground space, there was a sphere of vines made of many roots and stems, with a blue light shining from inside, as if it contained some kind of secret treasure.

However, this cyan orb seemed to be woven together, with very large gaps between the roots, making it easy for Mo Xie to see what was inside.

The vine sphere was about seven or eight meters in size, and in this space, a creature resembling a red-crowned crane, with a white beak, only one leg, and wings spread out on both sides, floated inside, bathed in blue flames, with its eyes closed.

Its dreamlike blue feathers, adorned with red markings, and surrounded by blue flames, made it appear as if it existed yet did not.

The bird was not very large, only about five or six meters long. Its shape was indistinct, like a projection, making it difficult to distinguish its reality from its illusion.

Before Mo Xie could observe further, the azure light within the vine sphere gradually condensed, transforming into a small ball of light, which then shot out a beam of light that went straight into his forehead.

When the blue light shone into his forehead, the blue radiance spread throughout Mo Xie's entire body. Feeling the comfort in his body, he couldn't help but close his eyes and quietly savor the sensation.

At this moment, he had already entered the totem space.

In the vast starry sky, dotted with stars, a beam of blue light shone from afar, shooting straight into a patch of mist.

This mist doesn't belong to any area; it exists independently, just like when we encountered the Ice Phoenix last time.

The cyan light dispelled the thick fog, revealing the hidden truth: the bluebird inside the vine-covered sphere appeared before them.

"This is... a Bifang bird?!"

Looking at the bluebird that resembled a red-crowned crane, with a white beak and only one leg, Mo Xie immediately identified it based on his knowledge.

The Bifang bird, a legendary and mysterious creature, has an unforgettable appearance with bright blue feathers and special red markings, seemingly carrying an aura of undying fire.

Its eyes are like two dazzling stars, deep and bright, as if they can see through all the truths of the world.

Beneath those eyes was a sharp and powerful white beak, capable of tearing apart the toughest material.

Whenever it flaps its wings and takes flight, its feathers, interwoven with countless shades of green and fiery red, tumble in the air, like clusters of burning flames dancing in the sky, captivating all who behold them.

When it stands quietly, its posture is elegant and dignified, displaying an innate aristocratic air.

The Bifang bird has strong and powerful legs, and its claws are like steel. Every movement of its reveals power and beauty, as if every step is accompanied by rhythm, and every flap of its wings paints a magnificent chapter in the sky.

The environment of the totem space seems to come alive because of the presence of the Bifang bird. Even the gloomiest forest appears vibrant under its light, and its warm and invigorating aura brings a unique vitality to this space.

Both being fire-attribute totems, the Fire Phoenix tilted its head, its fiery red pupils looking at the Bifang Bird as if greeting it.

The Bifang bird… Why is the Bifang bird here? Could it be connected to this place, the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, in some unknown way? (End of Chapter)
