Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 177 Protest, We Protest!
"Finally killed that mountaintop rock demon! It was smelly and tough, so hard to kill!"

"But if we can get the Stone Heart, we can exchange it for a lot of resources!"

On a drab mountain, several members of the French team worked together to kill a mountaintop rock demon, and the stone heart it produced was a very valuable earth elemental material.

Their joy was short-lived, as a Nazca Line dog found them.

Following closely behind were the members of the Chinese team.

"Wow, this thing is worth a lot of money. Here you go!"

…………

"Hahaha, the Flying Serpent Bone is in hand!"

"Hahaha, give it to me!"

…………

"My God, this is a Chaos Crystal! Thank God, we actually obtained such a treasure!"

"What? A Chaos Crystal? That's a great item! Give it to me!"

…………

"We're lucky. The source of water is quite expensive, which will help our Italian team move up a few places in the rankings."

"Here's another good thing, give it to me!"

“Give it back to me!!!”

"You dare steal from our Chinese team?! Mo Fan, charge!!"

…………

"The Chinese team is going too far!!!"

"How outrageous! They're taking advantage of their numbers to rob treasures everywhere! Those are things our National Guard team worked so hard to obtain!!"

"They're nothing but robbers!"

"Protest! We protest!"

The live broadcast of the Chinese team's actions caused a huge stir around the world.

Many viewers are already calling for the Chinese team to be eliminated from the National Team match.

For ordinary people, their emotions have already been ignited, so it's normal for them to say such things.

But the leaders of various countries don't think that way. They are fully aware of the rules of the treasure hunt, which are all about "grabbing".

Whether it's taken from demons or from members of the Nationalist government, it's all the same.

Even if they're really unhappy, they can only keep it to themselves!

They watched helplessly as the Chinese team snatched more and more treasures, their teeth practically grinding to powder!
Those treasures and resources are no longer in the hundreds of millions, but in the billions, and they are still increasing!

The battlefield for the treasure hunt at this moment.

Apart from Jiang Yuan, everyone else held a pile of treasures in their hands, colorful, some radiating light, some radiating gold, and various elements surging.

"Ah, this is so good, it's going to make me feel amazing!" Mo Fan exclaimed, completely absorbed in the experience.

This was the first time he had ever seen so many treasures.

"Captain is awesome! At this rate, even if we don't get the Battlefield Treasure, we can still get first place!" Guan Yu said excitedly.

"Where else is there treasure? Let's go grab it!" Mo Fan didn't care about the ranking at all; his mind was completely focused on "grabbing, grabbing, grabbing," and he was already addicted.

"We've found Old Zhao," Jiang Yuan said.

"Oh, so Old Zhao has some treasure?" Mo Fan asked quickly.

"It really does."

The news brought back by the Nazca Dogs indicates that Zhao Manyan is in the Black Forest, surrounded by several source trees, each worth nearly a hundred million.

Many powerful magical artifacts are forged using Origin Wood, and plant-type mages can also gain considerable benefits from absorbing Origin Wood. At the same time, there are also some treasures like Elemental Crystals there.

As a location of interest to the organizers, it will definitely contain a lot of items.

"Let's go, let's go, let's save Soldier Zhao!"

Mo Fan rushed to the front, urging everyone on.

The others quickly followed.

The Black Forest was just a few hundred meters ahead, and as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, unlike the lush greenery of ordinary forests.

Only black, pure black, dull black, bright black.

As you walk inside, the wildly growing black trees twist their trunks, resembling menacing demons, with the wind howling, adding to the sense of terror.

From the outside, the Black Forest doesn't look very big, but once you go inside, it feels like it's endless.

“The space here is compressed. Follow me closely, this way.” Jiang Yuan once again walked in front, leading the group towards Zhao Manyan’s location.

Soon, everyone saw a large sphere made of black tree branches, through which a faint golden light could be seen shining.

Jiang Yuan walked over and used his spatial power to tear the branches apart, revealing Zhao Manyan struggling inside.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, he burst into tears, saying, "You've finally arrived! I was almost swallowed by these strange trees. For someone as dashing as me to be eliminated under such circumstances would be too embarrassing!"

"What happened, Lao Zhao? How did you get trapped inside?" Mo Fan asked.

"Don't even mention it. I teleported here right next to this forest. I heard some noises inside and thought I'd come in to check it out, but I couldn't get out once I entered. These trees can move, and I don't have any offensive magic, so I'm stuck here. If you guys had arrived a few minutes later, I was planning to use a spatial scroll to leave," Zhao Manyan explained.

The tree moves?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked around at the trees, but they were just like ordinary trees and showed no signs of movement.

"Damn it! Why are these trees still bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Zhao Manyan cursed.

“It’s not that we’re bullying the weak and fearing the strong; there’s movement underfoot,” Ai Jiangtu suddenly said.

Only then did everyone notice a barely perceptible, minute tremor in the ground, which became increasingly violent a few seconds later.

Some tree roots emerged from the ground and wriggled on the surface.

At this moment, the black tree spirits revealed their true forms, wielding their sharp branches and stabbing directly at the vulnerable spots of the group.

However, when they were a meter away from the group, an invisible wall blocked them all.

"After clearing out all the treasures in the Black Forest, we're ready to move on to the next place," Jiang Yuan said succinctly.

Speaking of treasures, Zhao Manyan, who had recovered, saw a large pile of treasures that everyone was holding, as well as treasures that Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu had suspended in mid-air using spatial power.

"Holy crap, Yuan Crystal, Flying Zerg Bone, Source of Water, Chaos Crystal, Stone Heart, Gentian Fruit!"

With each word Zhao Manyan uttered, the surprise on his face deepened, until finally his mouth was so wide open that he couldn't close it.

Even though he was the second young master of the Zhao Group, he was still shocked!
"How can there be so many treasures? This year's treasure hunt is incredibly extravagant!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, his mouth agape.

"You'll find out soon enough," Mo Fan said with a mysterious smile.

The group repelled all the attacking branches and followed Jiang Yuan deeper into the Black Forest.

Every tree in the Black Forest is a Black Tree Spirit, and the ruler of this place is naturally the Black Tree Spirit. All the treasures are located near the Black Tree Spirit.

At the heart of the Black Forest lies a black lake.

The Black Tree Spirit ruled this Black Forest, residing in the Black Lake.

It had no face, only a large mouth on the tree trunk. Sensing the approach of living beings, the Black Tree Spirit leader let out a violent roar.

Jiang Yuan only sensed its bloodlust and brutality, and found it to be completely devoid of the wisdom of other leader-level demons.

It seems that this was done intentionally by the organizers.

"Mo Fan, the Black Tree Spirit leader is now in your hands," Jiang Yuan said.

"okay!"
