Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 168: Rookie Mage
More than ten kilometers away from Li Yu, several mages were surrounding a fruit tree that was shrouded in powerful lightning. It seemed that there was nothing around the fruit tree, but in fact, if you looked closely, you would be surprised to find that there was a transparent cover surrounding it at all times.

A wizard who looked quite experienced carefully touched the shield with the makeshift tool.

With a "buzz" sound, a yellow arc of lightning suddenly burst out, instantly destroying the tools. Seeing this, the mage was not panicked, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. It's a relatively common small-scale self-circulating lightning restriction. It can only be maintained for such a long time in an environment like the Thunder Forbidden Zone where the concentration of lightning elements is extremely high."

This mage has a certain level of attainment in prohibitions and can easily determine the type of prohibition in front of him.

"Luo Xiong, don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me if there is a solution."

An impatient wizard asked, and the others also looked a little impatient.

Ten days of sweeping was not a long time, and they were in no mood to listen to a temporary teammate spreading knowledge about prohibitions.

Hearing this, Luo Xiong didn't care, but raised two fingers.

"Of course I have a way, but I want to take two of these Meteorite Fruits, and you can each take one of the remaining ones."

"Any objection?"

"two?"

The man who spoke earlier let out a light exclamation. There were four people in their temporary team, and there were five fruits in total. Luo Xiong took two, and they each got one. It seemed like a good distribution rule. After all, the former provided the collection method, so it was reasonable for him to take the lion's share.

The remaining three exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"Okay, I agree."

Although they were a little reluctant, they had mastered the core technology after all. Instead of arguing over this fruit, it would be better to save time and go treasure hunting elsewhere.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Luo Xiong did not delay and immediately began to make arrangements.
"This kind of self-circulating restriction cannot be broken by brute force, otherwise it will cause the circulation within the restriction to become unbalanced, directly leading to the destruction of the Meteorite Fruit inside."

"The only way to crack it is to input the same level of magic power into the key nodes of the restriction, reverse the flow of magic power in the self-circulating restriction, and let it be lifted naturally."

"I will mark the four nodes of this restriction. Each of us will be responsible for one and control the output of magic energy. It will take about five minutes to lift this restriction."

As high-level mages, the four of them naturally had a strong control over magical energy. Under Luo Xiong's arrangement, they quickly completed the operations according to the command and witnessed the lightning arcs on the restriction dissipate bit by bit.

When the five minutes were up, the restriction was lifted just as Luo Xiong had said. Looking at the fruit in front of them, everyone showed eager eyes.

"I'll take two first."

Luo Xiong looked at the others and emphasized again.

"Okay, okay, you take it first."

The rest of the people waved their hands. The harvest was right in front of them. The five fruits were almost the same. The three of them were unwilling to make enemies over the order. In order to reassure Luo Xiong, they even deliberately stepped back.

"Hehehe... Meteorite Fruit, here I come..."

Luo Xiong walked forward with a very obscene smile, and his outstretched hand was about to touch the fruit, and then he felt a flash before his eyes.

"Huh? Where are the things?"

Looking at his empty palms, and then at the Meteorite Fruit Tree, where the five fruits were nowhere to be seen, Luo Xiong turned back to look at his teammates in confusion. The latter and others also opened their eyes wide, obviously caught off guard by this scene.

"Look, there's that guy!"

At this moment, a person caught a glimpse of a figure that had already run a long distance away from the corner of his eye. The person seemed to have noticed the attention of several people, and even turned back and waved, revealing an extremely sarcastic smile.

Provocation! This must be a provocation!

The four-member team, including Luo Xiong, was immediately furious.
"Chase!"

Unlike the poor middle-level wizards, the high-level wizards' ability to make money is much stronger. At least everyone is guaranteed to have a set of magic tools. Those who have wind-related magic tools can directly use the Wings of Wind, and those who don't have them can use the Shoes magic tools. The four of them chased after them with flames in their eyes.

...Just two minutes later, the confused Li Yu was blocked by several people.

"Boy, run! You are quite good at running!"

Luo Xiong and the others stood with their hands on their hips, surrounded Li Yu with fierce looks on their faces.
"If you know what's best for you, hand over the Meteorite Fruit to me."

"Otherwise, don't blame us four men for being ruthless."

A few mages, with their necks twisted and fists clenched, looked quite difficult to deal with.

Li Yu didn't know why he was surrounded by these strangers, but one thing was clear: he was in trouble.

With the last bit of kindness in mind, Li Yu asked:
"Is there any misunderstanding? I clearly came from that side."

Li Yu pointed the way he came, and then said:

"You all came from the east, so I shouldn't be able to provoke you."

"If you want to resort to violence, don't forget that the Great Guardian has said that fighting is prohibited in the Thunder Forbidden Zone."

"Are you planning to break the rules?"

It would have been fine if Li Yu hadn't said this. After he said this, Luo Xiong and the others looked even more ferocious.

"Okay, I finally understand why you are so arrogant. You dare to steal our spoils by relying on the rules of the Thunder Forbidden Zone."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned even deeper. He guessed that he was probably carrying a huge black pot, but now that things have come to this, he has no way to find the culprit, so he can only say:
"Let me explain for the last time. I have never met several of them."

"Please move aside."

"Get out of the way? Get out of the way!"

Luo Xiong spat and sneered:
"Boy, I guess you didn't have a good relationship with the locals before you came here."

"The purpose of the rule in the Thunder Forbidden Zone that prohibits fighting is to prevent high-level mages from oppressing mid-level mages. As long as mages of the same level do not use destructive magic that makes too much noise, the guardians of the Thunder Forbidden Zone will not intervene in the fights between mages."

"Not to mention, you stole our spoils first. Even if we bring the case to the guardian of Thunder City, we are still right."

"Is that really the case?"

As expected by Luo Xiong and others, Li Yu's expression changed after hearing these words.
"So, kid, be smart and quickly..."

"Oh!"

Just when he was halfway through his words, Luo Xiong's head was grabbed by a hand and pressed into the ground.

Luo Xiong lay on the ground in silence. Li Yu rubbed his wrist and looked at the other three people with endless annoyance in his eyes.
"Obsessive."

"I'm in a hurry now, and I'm too lazy to play with you here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu turned into a shadow.

"..."

Three seconds later, Li Yu threw the three people who were knocked unconscious together with the unlucky guy at the beginning.
"trouble."

After Li Yu left, the bird landed on a stone not far from them and glanced at them expressionlessly.
"Real food."

Then, it opened its mouth, spit out four fruits, and flapped its wings to fly away.

Not long after, Tian Yi stepped out of a space vortex again, looking at the departing figure from afar.
"After not seeing you for a long time, the little guy's ability to create illusions has improved."

Just as Tian Yi was about to follow, his expression suddenly changed. The kind smile disappeared, replaced by endless murderous intent.
"The rat is finally out of its hole."
