Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 219 Siren!

"I apologize for disturbing you. This humble monk is shamelessly asking for some food. I hope you can do me a favor."

The middle-aged monk bowed to the two men, looking at them with a smile.

Lin Ming and Ding Yumin were both taken aback, clearly not expecting to encounter a monk begging for alms in this place.

“This monk is quite capable,” Ding Yumin whispered to Lin Ming as she approached him.

Lin Ming nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he gave all the food in his hand to the middle-aged monk.

Lingling will probably want something warmer, I'll buy it for her on the way back.

"These are all meat dishes; I don't know if Master Jingde will be able to accept them."

Lin Ming looked at the middle-aged monk and said.

The middle-aged monk's cultivation level was high, but Lin Ming had no way of knowing the specifics, as it would be somewhat presumptuous to directly probe someone else's star system.

However, the high-ranking monk was in Asuka City, probably the same Master Jingde they went to see that afternoon.

"Oh? You know me, benefactor?" Master Jingde looked at Lin Ming with some surprise, examined him for a while, and then accepted the food with a smile.

"This humble monk has no taboos about such things!"

After saying that, he sat down on the beach and started eating heartily.

He's clearly a high-level mage, yet he's begging for food, and he doesn't seem to have a single penny on him!

He was clearly a monk who indulged in wine and meat, yet he was extremely poor.

Lin Ming and Ding Yumin both looked at the middle-aged man with some curiosity.

"I wonder why Master Jingde would come to this remote place to beg for alms? Why not beg for alms in the city center? Could it be that he also came to see the sea?" Lin Ming asked jokingly.

Master Jingde was eating his dinner in big mouthfuls when he heard Lin Ming's reply. He looked up, but suddenly seemed to choke, frantically pounding his chest.

Lin Ming looked at this unreliable mage and couldn't help but sigh. He then took out a bottle of water from his spatial ring and tossed it to him.

Master Jingde quickly opened the bottle of mineral water and then took two big gulps.

Then, as if revived, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Ming with a smile.

"You two must be tourists from out of town!"

Lin Ming nodded.

“Hehe.” Master Jingde let out a strange chuckle, then said with a hint of pride, “This humble monk is quite well-known in Asuka City. If I were to beg in the city center, it would cause quite a stir.”

He didn't even say the words "begging for alms," he just said "begging."

He doesn't look like a monk at all.

"Besides, every time I beg for food, those entrepreneurs secretly take some photos for marketing purposes. I just don't want to become an accomplice in exploiting the people."

"However, I did not come here to see the sea. After all, this place is full of couples who come for secret rendezvous. I am a monk and cannot bear to see such a scene."

After saying that, he put his hands together and softly murmured, "Amitabha."

However, the purpose of this place was not explained.

"Actually, we went to Daideji Temple this afternoon to look for the monk, but we couldn't find him," Lin Ming said, seeing that the monk Jingde had almost finished eating.

"Oh? You came to see this humble monk? Is there something you need?" Venerable Jingde looked at the two with some curiosity, but then shook his head, his expression becoming somewhat serious: "But I'm sorry, esteemed benefactors, I have some matters to attend to later, and if necessary, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Having said that, he stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Thank you for your generosity, but this humble monk must take his leave now."

Lin Ming didn't say much. Since the other person had something to do, he couldn't force them to stay.

Moreover, the matter of totems cannot be explained in a short time.

But the next moment, a scream came from the shore, and the three of them immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came!

"There are demons!"

Lin Ming frowned instantly. This was within the Anjie Realm, not a small fishing village on the outskirts. It was protected by a barrier, so how could demons possibly appear here!

Why do demons appear?

But without thinking it over, he instantly appeared in the direction of the screaming eruption!

In a small grove of trees, a girl sat slumped on the ground, her eyes somewhat vacant, one finger pointing to the top of a tree, trembling wildly!
Lin Ming looked up instantly and was shocked to see a monster resembling a small monkey climbing a tree, a sinister smile on its face. A sea monkey monster! A weak and cowardly monster.

However, this weakness is relative to the mage!

If ordinary people in the city were to encounter this situation, the only outcome would be to be swallowed whole!
The sea monkey monster seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation, its face still bearing a mocking grin as it quickly ran away!

Lin Ming sneered.

If he lets this servant-level demon get away, then all his cultivation will have been for nothing!
The next moment, his body flashed with silver light, and silver-white star trails instantly connected!
Spatial power spread along with mental power, instantly locking onto the sea monkey monster leaping up and down the tree!
"Come back!" Lin Ming snorted coldly, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes!
The sea monkey monster was still leaping on the treetops, its meager intelligence preventing it from realizing any danger, its mind only focused on waiting for the king's reward when it returned!

But the next moment, he suddenly realized that the scene in front of him had changed. The moonlight and clouds had all disappeared, and in their place were leaves that covered the sky.

"grumble?"

But when he suddenly turned his head, he found a mage staring at him coldly, his body still flashing with silver light!

The killing intent is awe-inspiring!
Seeing what the sea monkey monster was holding, Lin Ming's killing intent surged wildly!

The mental energy materialized, and the power of space instantly condensed into steel needles that pierced through the sea monkey monster!
There was absolutely no chance of resistance!
Just then, Master Jingde and Ding Yumin arrived.

A strong magical fluctuation also emerged from Master Jingde's body, but Lin Ming estimated that it was only around the first or second level of the high-level magic, which was not very strong.

However, Lin Ming was not paying much attention to Master Jingde at the moment, but instead focused his gaze on the sea monkey in Guan Huai's arms.

Lin Ming gently reached out and took out a small creature.

It was a baby, a baby still in swaddling clothes!

"This this."

A murderous intent surged from Master Jingde's body. He clenched his fists and stared in disbelief at the sea monkey monster lying on the ground and the baby in Lin Ming's arms.

The baby's face was covered by the sea monkey monster's swaddling clothes, so it couldn't make a sound.

However, when Lin Ming removed the swaddling clothes, there was still no sound.

In an instant, the faces of the three men turned extremely ugly!

An infant who should be sleeping soundly in the arms of his parents in the realm of peace has now appeared in the hands of a demon!

What is the purpose of a barrier? What is the purpose of an army?

What's going on with this city?!

"Wait, he's still breathing, he's still breathing!" Ding Yumin suddenly exclaimed excitedly, her eyes lighting up.

Sure enough, the baby in Lin Ming's arms started crying the next moment.

The group immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Ming's eyes. He knew, of course, who was behind this incident, but he didn't yet have the strength to deal with Su Lu, the president of the Asian Magicians Association.

However, Lin Ming did not believe that the city's higher-ups were not involved in the fact that Su Lu, a person from another country, could do such a thing in a city of Great Xia!

"Just as I expected! Just as I expected!"

The once smiling and gentle Master Jingde was now filled with murderous intent, his heavy breathing causing him to rise and fall.

"What does Master Jingde know?" Lin Ming asked.

But Master Jingde shook his head, muttering to himself.
"Not enough! The evidence isn't enough!"

"It seems you do know something, Master Jingde." Lin Ming's voice was somewhat cold.

“It was just speculation before, and I did collect some evidence, but it wasn’t enough,” Master Jingde said, shaking his head.

"So Master Jingde came here today to collect evidence as well?" Lin Ming asked with a sudden smile.

"Yes." Master Jingde nodded.

Lin Ming handed the baby to Ding Yumin, then shook his head and said...

"It seems that Master Jingde has been deceived."

"What do you mean?" Master Jingde's eyes widened as he was about to speak.

The next moment, the surface of the water in the bay suddenly exploded!

A huge, crimson sea monster stood on the beach, its bloodshot eyes glaring in the direction of Master Jingde!
Commander-level! Crimson Rift Demon!
