Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 280 Trap
"You mean you're saying that a bunch of outsiders from Europe, with no connections whatsoever, came here for training and immediately learned that a local monarch-level demon cub had escaped, and that no other mages knew about it! And then you easily captured this demon cub?"

Lin Ming looked at the several students from the Alps Academy who were acting as if it were perfectly normal.

A sense of powerlessness rose up inexplicably in my heart.

What kind of idiots are these people?
Haven't you realized there's a problem yet?
"What. What's wrong?"

Qi Yuan blinked, vaguely sensing something in her mind, but she hadn't fully figured it out yet.

The other students from the Alps Academy also had expressions of complete indifference, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it at all.

These monks, who have spent almost half their lives holed up in academies, have not yet transitioned from an academy mindset.

There might be a slight possibility in Europe, but this is Africa!
The influence of the Alps Academy here is practically zero!
So how did the trainees, who had absolutely no connections or background, obtain such valuable and important information?

The fact that a monarch-level cub went missing is already quite abstract, yet this information was only known to a group of outsiders.

Keep in mind, this is the cub of a monarch-level demon! The fact that no one is even fighting over it means something like that!
how can that be!

That means someone is up to no surprise.

"Release your summoned beast first," Lin Ming said to Boqisi.

Without hesitation, Pochis immediately released the red scorpion cubs.

It was a fiery red scorpion, emanating a faint black mist that enveloped it.

“There’s definitely no problem with the red scorpion.” Lin Ming frowned.

So what exactly was the reason that someone stole the cubs of the Monarch Red Scorpion and gave them to these people from the Alpine Academy?

Is it to please?
impossible!

A figure in white robes appeared in Lin Ming's mind.

Miras.

Could it be him?

After all, this guy's behavior was too strange.

What would be the reason for that?

Suddenly, Lin Ming remembered what Li Henglong had just said, and turned to look at him.

Could it be because of that?

Li Henglong, who was also pondering while stroking his chin, shook his head when he heard Lin Ming's question.
“That thing was only dug out today. Only Ding Xutian, a few close confidants, and I know about it. Nobody else even recognizes it.”

"What about Ding Xutian?" Lin Ming frowned, after all, he had just heard that Ding Xutian seemed to have some kind of deal with Miras.

“No way!” Li Henglong shook his head firmly: “Although that guy is a bit greedy, he won’t make mistakes on such important matters.”

Lin Ming nodded and said nothing more.

Suddenly at that moment, a military mages burst in and shouted at Li Henglong.

"Military Intelligence Bureau! Vicious demons are gathering again!"

Everyone's eyes immediately narrowed.

Li Henglong suddenly waved his hand.

"Go and tell everyone to stay on high alert and prepare for defense!"

Lin Ming also rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

He was too lazy to care who came up with the conspiracy or what they wanted to achieve.

The goal is simply to use the Red Scorpion Tribe to attack the mine; all we need to do is eliminate the Red Scorpion Tribe!

However, he couldn't stop the red scorpion from escaping. After all, monarch-level beings, especially those at the intermediate monarch level, have countless ways to protect themselves. Lin Ming could only defeat it at the moment.

If it really wanted to run away, Lin Ming estimated that it would be very difficult to stop it.

If you can't stop them, you'll have to accept the occasional harassment from the now-isolated Red Scorpion Lord.

A monarch without any worries
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

But suddenly, a fluctuation came from Lin Ming's Necromancer Star Sea.

The troubled expression on his face froze instantly, and a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

It seems like I'm not so troubled anymore.

He turned to look at the group of people from the Alps Academy.

At this moment, the group all looked as if they had survived a disaster, their faces beaming with joy.

However, upon noticing Lin Ming's gaze, everyone's faces froze, and their smiles didn't even have time to fade.

"You don't think there's nothing more for you to do, do you?"

Lin Ming said lightly.

"Although you will not be sacrificed to the Red Scorpion Lord, this incident was caused by you no matter what. You may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment!"

He then glanced at the group to confirm the number of people, and then said to them...

"There are seven of you in total, all of you are high-level mages. In this battle, you will kill at least five commanders or a hundred warriors."

"You want us to go to the battlefield!" Pochis's eyes widened, and she screamed in terror, "No! No! We'll die! You haven't seen the Red Scorpion Lord...you..."

But the next moment, he was stared at by Lin Ming's cold gaze and found it difficult to speak.

"To fight or to die, choose one."

Suddenly, several of them felt like crying.

But they still know how to choose, since they could still die directly.

"Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Miras and Clover, who had just left, also received news that the Scorpion Tribe was intensifying its attack.

"What do we do, Miras! What if those Chinese people really hand over those women?!"

"If those venomous demons retreat, the plan will fall through!"

Clover called out to Miras somewhat anxiously.

In his view, if they couldn't hold out any longer, the mercenaries would definitely hand over the students from Alps Academy.

"Don't worry, they won't hand it over." Miras shook his head.

"Since those Chinese people say that, they definitely won't hand the person over. Besides, even if they did, there are ways to deal with it!"

A fierce glint flashed in Miras's eyes.

But then his brows furrowed again.

"The biggest problem now is that guy who suddenly appeared! I can't tell his cultivation level!"

"We need to inform the family about this situation first!"

Miras nodded, took out a special device, and transmitted the information here to his family.

However, the two were completely unaware that while they were talking, a figure in the shadows was recording all their words.

The Futts family, in a brightly lit meeting room.

Several elderly men sat together.

"How did the discussions go, everyone?"

A middle-aged man in the main seat looked at the clan elders who were discussing and asked them a question.

“Master, we estimate that those Chinese people will not hand over the person,” said an elderly man with a long white beard.

"Hmph!" A member of the Futish family branch sneered, "If you don't hand it over, you'll all die in the mine!"

"But the inspector who suddenly appeared also seemed to possess super-level strength."

"A high-level mage?" The head of the Futish family frowned deeply and couldn't help but sneer, "What use is a high-level mage? Those people from Alps Academy must die in the mines! Otherwise, how will we have a chance to get that Alps high-level mage in the city to make a move!"

"No matter what, this plan must succeed! It's the key to our return to the family!"

"Something's wrong! Patriarch!" Suddenly, a panicked figure rushed into the meeting hall: "That Alpine super-rank mage failed to communicate with the city garrison mage and has rushed out!"

"What! What is that bastard Gulushi doing! He can't even hold them off!" The head of the Futish family slammed his hand on the table, his anger barely concealed.

"Master, Medusa in the north seems to be making unusual movements as well," an elderly man with white hair suddenly added.

"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in the eyes of the Futi family head: "How many assassins are left in the family?"

"There aren't many left after stealing the monarch's cub."

"Mobilize everyone! Let's make this place more lively!"
