Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

"Space scrolls, this competition is really going all out! Not many people can afford such a life-saving item," Zhao Manyan couldn't help but exclaim.

“I’ve only seen this thing once, and that time I was using it to escape,” Mo Fan said.

Back in Lei Ze Mountain, it was incredibly harrowing; without a spatial scroll, we would have been dead.

The participants in the treasure hunt were all members of the national teams from various countries, with ten people on each team, totaling one hundred and sixty people, representing sixteen countries.

After the rules were explained, the students began to enter the spatial magic array one after another.

The order was shuffled, and Lin Lan drew the first draw, becoming the first member of the Chinese National Team to step into the formation.

"Let's meet up later, Lanzi. Zhao Manyan will support us, and with Mu Ningxue's ice... the few of us together will be absolutely invincible," Mo Fan said.

"That's not necessarily true. It varies from place to place. It depends on fate," Lin Lan said.

……

As Lin Lan stepped into the great formation, the surrounding space immediately began to distort.

"Buzz~~~~~~~"

With a slight tremor, Lin Lan vanished instantly from the spatial textures, so fast that it was impossible to blink.

As a high-level spatial mage, Lin Lan knew how to deal with spatial turbulence, so he was almost unaffected.

All the teleportation happened in an instant. When he opened his eyes again, the stadium, the sky over Venice, and the sea of ​​people had all disappeared.

Above, the sky was a hazy, murky gray, strangely distorted, like a giant, dark, and unreal oil painting. The land was rugged and undulating, with towering peaks, a dark forest stretching across the horizon, a river flowing against the current, and deep valleys echoing with heart-pounding cries…

Although the environment has mountains, water, and sky, it seems to have been randomly pieced together by a painter without any logic, lacking the coherence that nature should have.

It is an independent space.

"Eee-ee~~~~!!"

Several eagle cries came from overhead, and looking up, I saw a hawk circling a hundred meters above.

That's a drone with a camera.

The Eye Hawks are magical tools commonly used by the military, transmitting what they see to equipment via light magic, turning it into images. Since it's a global live broadcast, the treasure hunt naturally needs a live stream. These Eye Hawks can both film and ensure the safety of the participants.

A competition is still a competition. Even if the environment is close to the wild, it has definitely been arranged by the organizers and bears traces of human intervention.

This space is also inhabited by many demons. On the surface, they are the real threat, but in fact, the real danger comes from the mages of other countries.

Since the treasure hunt is bound to be fierce, Lin Lan decided to strike first.

Where there are treasures, there are also battles between mages and demons, or between mages themselves. And these battles will inevitably leave behind the aura of magic. As long as Lin Lan follows the aura of magic, he will surely encounter people and treasures.

……

At the foot of Gray Python Mountain, Lin Lan looked up and saw a full 20 magical auras!
The above should depict different teams cooperating to obtain the Stone Heart.

Having set a target, Lin Lan wasn't in a hurry; she'd wait until they finished fighting before making any decisions.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind.

After an unknown amount of time, two people rushed down from the mountaintop.

Their speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, they had covered hundreds of meters, and in a short while, their figures disappeared a kilometer away.

"Split up! We'll regroup after we shake off those Frenchmen!" shouted Angelo, the Italian student. The others nodded and quickly covered Angelo's retreat.

The five people instantly dispersed and sped off in different directions. Soon after, two or three other groups arrived at the original spot, gazing in the direction they had gone, unsure of which way to pursue them.

"Damn it! Who has the Stone Heart? That's the most valuable thing! It took us nearly twenty people a lot of effort to defeat the Rock Demon on the mountaintop. We French people contributed the most, so why did they steal it from us!" A French student was furious.

"Chase them! They can't have gone far. We can't let them get away with this!" A Japanese student gritted his teeth in anger. The Japanese side also paid a heavy price in this operation; one student was seriously injured, and if a healing mage couldn't be found, they would probably be forced out of the game soon.

They had only been in this distorted space for a short time when they discovered a rare monster atop the mountain: the Mountain Peak Rock Demon.

This creature is extremely valuable, and its heart is the core of the rock formation's energy system, capable of powering even a small city. It is especially precious to architects.

The target was enormous, and people from various countries gradually gathered. The Rock Demon on the mountaintop was incredibly powerful, forcing everyone to work together to deal with it. After finally defeating it, the Italians, who had agreed to share the spoils, seized the opportunity to steal the Stone Heart and escape.

It was only then that everyone fully realized that there was no international friendship involved in this treasure hunt; whoever grabbed the most resources would have the advantage in the subsequent competition!
At that moment, Lin Lan, along with the Frost Thunder Eagle and the Dragon Girl, stood in front of them.

"Fuck, who are you to block our way?" the Japanese student cursed.

"My dear dad!"

Without saying a word, Lin Lan unleashed a Level 3 Silent Thunder Death Ray from the sky.

Dragon Princess and Frost Thunder Eagle also unleashed terrifying lightning power together!

Lightning rained down like a storm, and three lightning domains were released simultaneously, instantly taking control of the entire area. The people affected by the lightning used all the magical artifacts they had on their bodies.

Unfortunately, it was of no use; the muscles were almost torn apart!

"Hand over everything, or you'll be eliminated," Lin Lan said.

"We'll give it to you!" The Japanese student also realized that the person in front of him was a bandit who had planted his domain power here long ago while they were fighting on the mountaintop.

But the key point is that this person not only has his own domain, but he also has contracted beasts and summoned beasts.

With the support of three powerful realms, they're not far from their demise...

The Japanese student handed over the Yuanjing, and the moment Lin Lan received and confirmed it, he jumped onto the Frost Thunder Eagle and left without hesitation.

……

……

"Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots! Some of them actually think they can be leaders and distribute resources equally like a hunter squad? This isn't a hunter squad; we're all competitors!" Angelo looked back and saw that the pursuers were far behind, so he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This is a huge windfall. If a stone heart were to be sold, it could fetch at least 400 million, and if the quality were higher, 500 million wouldn't be a problem.

With so many people involved, if the distribution were truly equal, how much would each person get? All that hard work and effort would have been completely wasted!

Now that's great, this treasure is all his!
Ahead lay dense mountain ranges, and once inside, Angelo was even less worried about being caught by the French or Japanese. He was even confident he could outmaneuver an entire search party in this complex terrain.

"Strange, why did it suddenly get dark?" Angelo looked up and saw a pitch-black sky slowly descending, a sight that inexplicably made him uneasy.

not good! ! !

He suddenly realized that the dark curtain was clearly a giant demon!

Just as he was about to escape, Lin Lan appeared with the Dragon Girl Ji!
