Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 275 Mercenaries

The Airomi mine covers a considerable area.

There are quite a few mineral veins alone.

The mercenaries from China only guarded one of the mines, while the other troops from the official Aiji army shared a significant portion of the venomous monsters' firepower.

"Damn it! What's gotten into these reptiles?!" A purple star map appeared on a military mage's body, thunderclouds gathered, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck!
He cleaved dozens of snake-scorpion monsters into pieces!
Staff Officer Ding Xutian was surrounded by a pale blue magical light, and a terrifying icy aura spread out in front of the mine!
Those venomous monsters that rushed forward were instantly frozen into ice sculptures!

"I don't know! But if we don't hold on now, we're all doomed!"

Ding Xutian sneered, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the venomous monster in front of him.

"Did those women who barged in give any explanation?"

"No." The military mage behind him shook his head: "Those female mages are quite arrogant and unwilling to talk to the Military Intelligence Bureau. However, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent a female military mage to negotiate with them, and it seems that there has been some progress."

"Damn it! A bunch of bitches, what the hell are you doing!" Ding Xutian spat out a mouthful of saliva, along with the cigarette in his mouth, onto the ground.

Star trails connect with star trails, and star charts intersect with star charts!
A chilling blue constellation appeared before him!
He stomped on the cigarette, crushing the butt flat, and cursed, "The Military Intelligence Bureau is too lenient! In this situation, we have to beat them until they tell us! Freeze the coffin!"

With a loud shout, several coffins of ice fell from the sky!
It accurately struck several general-level snake-men hiding among the serpent monsters who were trying to ambush the military mages!

Suddenly, the other mages also spotted the attackers and unleashed a barrage of magic!

These snake-men, all at the warrior level, were instantly pulverized!
"Watch out! The commander has made his move!" Ding Xutian suddenly waved his hand and shouted angrily, drawing the attention of all the military mages to a new level!
The next moment, a snake-man with a snake tail and human body, covered in blood-red scales, suddenly stood up from the scorpion monsters, his aura no longer concealed!
"It's the Crimson Serpent Man!" one of the military mages recognized the demon and shouted.

But the loud shout instantly attracted the attention of the scarlet snake-man, whose blood-red eyes suddenly turned towards him!
In an instant, a terrifying curse enveloped the military mages in that area!
"boom!"

The star trails shattered under the impact of the curse's power!

"what!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the serpent monster found an opening and pounced on several military mages!

The terrifying fangs and claws instantly tore the military mages to shreds!
"Damn it!" Ding Xutian cursed angrily, but he did not attack the scarlet snake-man, because there was another commander watching him from his line of sight!

It was a crimson serpent-like creature, completely different from the surrounding servant-level serpent-like creatures. Its terrifying commanding aura enveloped Ding Xutian!

Once he makes a move, he'll probably be attacked by this scarlet scorpion immediately!

So he could only hope that the other mages could handle the scarlet snake-man!

However, it was clear that the other military mages were not capable of dealing with the Crimson Serpent Men.

In just a moment, the battle line shrank back several meters!
"Damn it! I'll risk it!" Ding Xutian spat, and his magical power began to surge!
Pale blue star trails began to connect with those behind him, and in just a moment a pale blue constellation appeared behind him!
"Frozen coffin!"

The Crimson Scorpion did not sit idly by and wait for its death. It did not have the curse power of the Crimson Serpent Man, but its physique was even more astonishing!
The several ice coffins falling from the sky couldn't even stop its progress; the six arms shattered the ice coffins without even looking at them!
Its lower body is a snake's tail, but the end of the snake's tail is a scorpion's terrifying stinger!
The snake's tail swung, and its tail hook fell down along with it!
Even though Ding Xutian had already unleashed the high-level Wind Wings, he still couldn't completely dodge it, and the wound that pierced through his entire right arm instantly burst open!

"Damn it! Commander!" Ding Xutian's expression was extremely ferocious, but his demeanor was incredibly calm as he stared intently at the scarlet scorpion.

After its first attack failed, the Crimson Scorpion's aura immediately darkened, and it waited like a venomous snake for another fatal blow.

The two sides remained deadlocked, but while the Crimson Scorpion could wait, Ding Xutian couldn't!
The torn flesh gradually turned black, and the toxins slowly spread to the wound.

"Poison!" Ding Xutian gritted his teeth.

It was at this moment that screams reached his ears.

The other military mages were also unable to deal with the scarlet snake-man.

The scarlet scorpion seemed to realize this as well, a smile creeping onto its ugly face, as if it were waiting for Ding Xutian's death.

Ding Xutian snorted coldly, ignoring the corrosive effects of the poison, and his demonic energy surged forth!
"ice"

The moment he opened his mouth, the toxins erupted instantly, and the star trail shattered!
The scarlet scorpion also realized that the opportunity had come and suddenly pounced!

The hook on the snake's tail suddenly lashed down!

Ding Xutian's eyes widened, but it was too late to change the magic!

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a snap of fingers rang out. The scorpion's stinger stopped right in front of Ding Xutian, just a finger's width from his eyes!

"What...what's going on?" Ding Xutian suddenly took a few steps back, carefully examining the scarlet scorpion.

The scarlet scorpion's ferocious eyes were also filled with doubt and fear, clearly indicating that this control was not something it was doing on its own!

Suddenly, Ding Xutian also sensed that the surroundings seemed quite quiet; the hissing of the serpent monster and the bombardment of magic all seemed to have disappeared!
Ding Xutian turned his head in disbelief and saw a young man slowly walking out of the mine entrance.

The venomous monsters had all disappeared, and only the head of the rampaging scarlet snake-man remained, held in the boy's hand.

"That was really thrilling."

Lin Ming looked at the scorpion tail that was about to pierce Ding Xutian's eye, his expression calm, but with a hint of dissatisfaction.

He slowly walked forward, one hand gripping the scorpion's tail.

"click"

A cracking sound rang out!

Under the shocked gazes of Scarlet Scorpion and Ding Xutian, Scarlet Scorpion's lower body, starting from its tail hook, along with its tail, six arms, and head, was covered with cracks like shattered glass!
Lin Ming released his hand.

The glass shattered completely at that moment!
A faint essence slowly drifted into Lin Ming's Necromancer Star Sea.

"Are you the military intelligence officer of this mercenary group?" Lin Ming's voice reached Ding Xutian's ears.

Ding Xutian was about to answer when Lin Ming grabbed his arm.

"He's been poisoned. We need to deal with it quickly, or it might penetrate deeper into his body." A pale golden light shone from Lin Ming's hand, and scale-like crystals of light instantly covered his arm, clearing away some of the poison and sealing it to prevent further spread.

Light-based magic has a strong resistance to curses and poisons, but an antidote is still needed to completely cure poisoning.

"Thank you!" Ding Xutian turned to look at the military mages behind him and saw that they had all sat down and recovered, so he felt relieved.

The antidote is always on hand, but I couldn't take it out just now because I was being watched by the Scarlet Scorpion.

Ding Xutian poured the antidote onto the wound, and soon the color of the wound gradually lightened.

"Thank you for your help, Venerable Master." Ding Xutian looked at Lin Ming and said gratefully.

"Do you mercenaries only have these three or four high-level mages?" Lin Ming didn't waste any time and asked the question that concerned him the most.

After dealing with the venomous demons, he carefully examined the mine's battlefront. It appeared that there were only three or four high-level mages, which did not match the rumored dozen or so.

“The entire mine has multiple entrances, and this is just one of them.”

Ding Xudong explained.

"So you're Military Advisor Li?" Lin Ming asked, looking at him.

Before he arrived, he had learned that the mercenary group was managed by a military intelligence officer surnamed Li, and the military mage in front of him was a high-level mage in three different systems, which met the military intelligence officer's requirements.

"I am the staff officer, Ding Xutian." Ding Xutian shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Lin Ming turn his head to look at the cave entrance.

Lin Ming's lips curled up slightly as he watched the man enter through the cave entrance.

It seems this mercenary isn't so bad after all!
At the mine entrance, the serpent monster had disappeared, and the scorching desert sun shone into the mine.

A man dressed in military uniform, covered in blood, with a huge gash on his chest and small wounds all over his face, slowly walked in.

In his hand was a head, a head that Lin Ming had seen before!

Those pale red scorpion-men are the leaders of the small tribe that attacked this mine!
A leader nearing the advanced stage!

"Li Henglong, Military Intelligence Bureau officer and mercenary stationed in Ireland, reporting to his superior!"

His head fell at Lin Ming's feet, while Li Juntong's face was grim and murderous!
