Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 99 Cave Demon Nest
Lin Lan doesn't have to worry about Old Master Lei for now. The training will basically take a few days and it won't be delayed. Old Master Lei's strength should be enough to deal with the great monarch. However, Lin Lan has never seen his grandson. It is probably the young man from Lei Town mentioned last time.

The Dongting Lake Plain also belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is located in the northern part of HUN Province and the southern part of HUB Province. It is a freshwater lake formed by the confluence of the Yangtze River and its tributaries.

Dongting Lake is not just a famous scenic spot or river. This huge lake, which covers an area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers, is the third most dangerous lake in China that is often mentioned in books.

Such a huge lake is surrounded by various ecological circles, and there are countless monsters living in it!

Among them, the very notorious Lizard-Skull Giant Demon Tribe, which has occupied Jinlin City as its lair, uses Dongting Lake as their base camp.

There are also creatures like lizard-skulled giants near the Magic City, but they are dwarfed by those in Dongting Lake. The creatures near the Magic City waters are scattered in nests and cannot even form a group. In the Dongting Lake area, Jinlin City alone is a tribe. 50 heads form a nest, 50 nests form a group, and 10 groups can be called a tribe.

There are lizard-skull monsters everywhere, and it is quite troublesome to clean them up.

After getting off the plane at the nearest urban area to Jinlin City, a group of 17 people from Mingzhu Academy and Didu Academy began to walk towards Jinlin City.

The area outside the protection of the magic hunter was 50 kilometers away from the safe world. Everyone in the group became alert, as they could never imagine some blind monsters running out of the deep forests.

"We just need to follow this abandoned railway." Song Xia, holding a map, pointed to the moss-covered railway tracks under her feet.

The railroad tracks are brown and covered with weeds and moss, extending straight into the green fields and forests in the distance. The parts that are immersed in the forest are completely covered by thorns and tall grass. If you don't look carefully, you won't know that this was once a railway.

The railway connects the city. The rusty tracks are abandoned and represent the path to Jinlin City, which has been invaded and deserted by demons. The railway is also a symbol.

"It's agreed in advance that I have always been the commander in the team. Since the school requires us to cooperate to complete this training mission, the seventeen of us can't be without rules. I will be the commander, and you can give us your opinions, but the general direction is still determined by me. How to move forward, how to deal with monsters, when we can rest...all these are decided by me." Lu Zhenghe was not polite at all, and directly stated his identity as the leader. He had a sense of: I don't care what you think, I only care what I feel.

Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Zhao Mingyue and other staff members of the Imperial Capital Academy had no objections. Perhaps it was because Lu Zhenghe always acted like this and they had long been immune to it.

"It's impossible to listen to everything you say. We will do everything according to Song Xia's instructions. I think it is up to you two to discuss the specific actions." Zheng Bingxiao said.

Song Xia talked about demons in great detail along the way and was a true super academic master, so Mingzhu Academy naturally regarded her as a think tank.

The railway track is relatively easy to travel on and is unobstructed all the way. The trouble is that the railway track goes into the mountains and even passes through some extremely dense tunnels. Some demons will treat these tunnels as their nests, and it would be troublesome if you have to go through them.

"I looked at the map. This tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of demons we encountered before, this tunnel is likely inhabited by demons."

"My suggestion is that we should just cross this mountain instead of dealing with those unknown species and unknown numbers of creatures in the dark cave." Song Xia said to the people behind her.

"I say, you are too cautious. No matter what's inside, just kill them directly. This tunnel is two kilometers long, so I don't know how long it will take to climb the entire mountain." Lu Zhenghe retorted immediately.

"There's really no need to be so conservative. Just go straight through." Zheng Bingxiao continued, and Song Xia also began to think after hearing that.

Song Xia is a thoughtful person, Lu Zhenghe is full of energy and does what he wants, but Zheng Bingxiao has become a little thoughtless since some time ago.

In conclusion, it's no wonder that he can't survive more than a few episodes. "My summoned beast can take a few people over, so boys don't even think about it." Mo Fan was originally very happy, but suddenly Lin Lan poured cold water on him.

A distance of two kilometers is barely one minute at the fastest speed of the Blizzard Eagle, and flying summoned beasts actually don't attract the attention of any demons. As a land creature in the wild, would you care about a bird that flies over you?

The mountain above the tunnel is not very big, and passing through it at a very fast speed will not cause any waves.

Even if they encountered some fearless aerial monsters, with the strength of the Blizzard Spirit Eagle, the general-level monsters were just sending themselves to death, and the commander-level monsters were not easy to find everywhere, so Lin Lan's method was indeed feasible.

"That's fine. You guys send two girls and we send two girls." After Lu Zhenghe said this, he couldn't help but look at Mu Ningxue.

Finally, Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing from the Imperial Capital Academy, Mu Nujiao and Bai Tingting from the Pearl Academy flew to the top of the mountain on the Blizzard Spirit Eagle and got there first.

"The cave demon slaves can be cleaned up and maybe even condensed into a spirit."

The dark tunnel was surrounded by tangled vines like a dense spider web, and inside it was a cave demon slave nest hidden. Adhering to the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, Lin Lan planned to clean it out.

"The summoned creatures can scout the way ahead, and the wind mage follows behind." Lu Zhenghe said.

"Then let my Rock Demon go in front. If anything happens, he can hold out for a while." As Zheng Bingxiao spoke, he had already drawn a star track in the moonlight and summoned the Rock Demon in front of everyone.

After Zheng Bingxiao finished summoning, Lu Zhenghe took a look at the clumsy rock creature and smiled, "You haven't even reached the advanced stage yet, you are really frugal with resources... However, it is really appropriate for this stinky and hard creature to lead the charge."

"Don't rush in, let the fire mage burn the vines first. If there are any demons, they will be able to see them at a glance."

Lin Lan's sound system has reached the intermediate level and he is very sensitive to sounds. The cave demon slaves in the tunnel are hiding behind the vines and lying in ambush, waiting for a group of people to enter. If the vines are burned, it will be easier for Lin Lan to attack.

"Okay, let's do as Lin Lan said." Lu Zhenghe also thought it made sense. It just meant spending more time and ensuring safety.

"Fire~burning."

Mo Fan and Song Xia drew star tracks. The flames burned fiercely and ignited the vines in the tunnel. The dry branches quickly caught fire. Thick smoke rolled in the air. The flames jumped between the vines, making crackling sounds.

"Roar~" The flames continued to burn, and a roar similar to that of a wild beast came from the tunnel. There were also several strange shadows with hunched bodies fleeing in the flames.

"This is... a cave demon slave!" Song Xia is indeed a top student and can tell the type of demon in the tunnel at a glance.

"Wait until the flames burn out, and the Rock Mage will clear the way. Draw the magic in your hands in advance, rush in and kill the one in front first." Lu Zhenghe said solemnly.

This flame is not enough to kill these demons. Lin Lan's idea is correct. There are quite a few figures in the flames. It is at least a demon's nest. If they go in directly, the situation will definitely be bad.
