Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Be careful if you come here looking for battlefield treasures; in the original story, Mo Fan lost his hand here.

"This place is terrifying." Mo Fan had ventured into many dangerous places, but even he felt uneasy here, which showed how eerie this Poisonous Barrier Valley was.

If it weren't for the fact that all the other teams had gathered together, making it no longer suitable to be bandits, and that they had already plundered a great deal of resources, Mo Fan would never have come to this place to look for any battlefield treasures.

Eileen and Mu Ningxue also looked unwell, and their breathing became noticeably rapid.

On the one hand, as Mo Fan said, this place was truly unsettling. It was surrounded by dark, jagged mountain walls, sometimes narrow as a crack, sometimes rugged as a winding valley, and sometimes suddenly sinking down as if leading straight to the ground.

This layer of poisonous gas has become a natural barrier for this dark basin. Heaven knows what kind of terrifying creatures might be bred in such a treacherous environment...

Fortunately, Eileen minored in the Light element. In this eerie and poisonous abyss, without her radiant light illuminating the way, it would be impossible to see anything at all.

"Don't panic, everyone. It is indeed dangerous here, but we still have the strength," Lin Lan reassured them.

It's dangerous as it may be, but the risks outweigh the rewards!

Besides being a super-level mage, Lin Lan also possesses the Liquid of Time!

The place they were going to was a place called 'Seven Pythons Dragon Pool'. Looking down at this valley from a high mountain peak, Lin Lan had noticed a small lake formed by the confluence of seven narrow streams. From a distance, it resembled seven giant pythons encircling a pool of still water.

……

On the southern slope of the mountain range, two men dressed in white robes with gold thread landed on flying beasts at the edge of the lake valley, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the thick, poisonous gas that enveloped the vast basin lake area.

"Damn it! We were fast enough, but those students still managed to break in!"

"We must report to the Governor immediately."

“They haven’t been down there for too long. We need to hurry down and bring all four of them back,” one of the white-robed monks said urgently.

"But this layer of poison is impossible to dispel, how can we get down? Besides, the terrain below is intricate and the valleys are interconnected... Even if they only went down for ten minutes, it will be difficult for us to find them again. It's infuriating! Didn't anyone tell them that this place is absolutely off-limits?!"

……

Venice Stadium.

Governor Fabio wore a black fedora with the brim pulled low, revealing only his high nose and strong jawline.

“Your Excellency, four trainees have strayed into Poison Curtain Lake Valley,” a referee stepped forward and reported solemnly.

“Didn’t we send two assistant referees to guard the end of the mountain to prevent trainees from entering that place?” Fabio immediately frowned.

"The two assistant referees happened to discover that some trainees were in danger nearby and rushed to their aid. Unexpectedly, in just a short time, those four trainees broke in," the referee explained.

"How long have you been in there?"

"About twenty minutes."

“Good heavens… will they even be able to come back? Immediately contact the embassy staff to which these trainees belong and tell them the truth,” Fabio ordered.

Soon, representatives from Britain and China arrived before the Governor-General. The Chinese representative was Han Ji, his brow furrowed. He had initially thought that Lin Lan and his group would become more restrained and cautious after seizing so many resources again, but instead of stopping their looting, they hadn't restrained themselves at all and had even inadvertently entered a restricted area!
That area is not within the area planned by the Hunter Alliance for the Treasure Hunt! In the previous debate about the battlefield, some people strongly opposed the use of this distorted space because it contains many unknown labyrinths, and the most dangerous and unpredictable of them is the bottom of the lake valley shrouded in poison gas!
How did these four people end up there of all people...?

We can only pray that Lin Lan, whose strength has reached the level of a super-class mage, can escape unscathed.

……

"Can't anyone give an explanation? Are we just going to stay silent like this?" The old British mage, Paulson, could not hide his anger.

"It was indeed our negligence this time, failing to stop the students from entering in time... But if your student Eileen hadn't controlled the Eye Eagle, we wouldn't have been so late in realizing they had strayed into the restricted area. We've already dispatched hunters familiar with that area to rescue them, but it will take them quite some time to reach the scene. Hopefully, those children haven't gone too far," Governor Fabio said in a deep voice.

“Your Excellency… there’s something else we just discovered.” Another referee rushed over, and seeing that several national representatives were present, hesitated for a moment. “Speak directly.”

"Before those four, a group of people had already gone in... The one leading them was Kelly, the nephew of the Hunter King, Philmond!"

……

“Someone has been here before. These are the water storage containers they left behind. Let me tell you all something: something is not normal here. I only found out about the battlefield treasures here by chance,” Lin Lan said in a deep voice.

"It's not a big problem. If it doesn't work out, Lin Lan, you can take over, and we'll run away immediately," Mo Fan joked with a smile.

Mo Fan thought he should crack a joke to lighten the mood, but Mu Ningxue and Eileen's expressions remained rather unpleasant.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Lan nodded without hesitation: "Okay, don't look back if anything happens."

"Wardfa?"

Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Eileen immediately realized how troublesome the situation was.

Lin Lan's decision to have the three of them run away immediately is definitely not normal.

"This is a joke that's not easy to make." Mo Fan's nerves immediately tightened.

Given the environment and Lin Lan's words, there is no room for carelessness.

"It's alright, Lin Lan. We won't run away alone now that we're here," Mu Ningxue said.

Eileen nodded, indicating that she would not abandon her teammates.

……

Silence. The entire valley was shrouded in a terrifying silence.

The three of them couldn't hear anything, so Lin Lan boldly walked forward.

Logically speaking, such a dark and deep ravine should be home to many demons and monsters rarely seen in the outside world. After all, the thick poisonous fog above is simply a breeding ground for dark creatures and highly toxic beings, capable of giving birth to countless generations of terrifying beings...

Yet, after walking for so long, they hadn't encountered any demons, not even a worm or insect. The only sound echoing in the entire poisonous ravine was the sound of their footsteps trudging through the mud…

"The group ahead of us is dead; they were wiped out instantly..."

Lin Lan heard it clearly: the group of people in front of them were instantly killed by two Heart-Devouring Demons whose strength was close to that of a monarch.

"?!"

"What a joke!"

If we're talking about a demon capable of instantly annihilating the Nationalist army, its strength must be at least at the level of a Grand Commander!
Are you sure you want to go to such a demon to retrieve a battle treasure?

All three of them looked at Lin Lan with solemn expressions.

"I can go by myself. You can have Little Dragon Princess, Mo Fan. And this is the Elixir of Time. If you encounter the Lord of Poison Valley, just have the Dragon Princess Queen kill him." Lin Lan took out the Elixir of Time and handed it to Mo Fan.

Xiaolongji also stayed by Mo Fan's side.

The Lord of Poison Valley only mentioned it briefly in the original storyline, saying that Mo Fan and the others didn't encounter it, but the situation is different now, and who knows if something unexpected might happen.

"This... there's still a monarch?" Mo Fan felt uneasy.

He really didn't expect that there would be a monarch-level existence in such a place. It's like he's dealing with monarchs every day with Lin Lan!
