Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 180 This is faster than robbery!

“This is what I’m lacking right now.” A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Yuan’s eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, an unshakeable spatial force swept across like a surging wave, creating visible ripples in the air.

In an instant, the sea monsters that were baring their fangs and claws were controlled in mid-air by this powerful force. They struggled in vain but could not break free even a little.

They were merely a group of sea monsters at the warrior level, skilled only in using mental power to hunt their prey.

Faced with the source of the river, their special skills are of no use whatsoever.

Among them, the leader of the Mystic Sea Demons is considered one of the best, and its strength is slightly stronger than that of ordinary Mystic Sea Demons.

But after struggling a little longer, his body was firmly controlled and he was unable to move.

"Scum!!!!"

They emitted a piercing sound, so sharp it seemed to pierce the eardrums, like metal scraping against steel, or fingernails scratching glass, instantly raising goosebumps all over the body and sending chills down one's spine.

Jiang Yuan's figure flickered like a ghost, and before anyone could react, all the Bewildering Sea Demons were easily dealt with.

He skillfully extracted the translucent demon gall from the body of each of the Bewitching Sea Demons.

The demon's gall has a jewel-like luster, radiating a captivating glow under the sunlight, and its inner spiritual power is easily felt.

Jiang Yuan carefully examined the demon gall in his hand and couldn't help but think of the mind stone he used when cultivating his spiritual power.

The two are indeed somewhat similar in some ways, but compared to each other, the Demon's Gallbladder is far less energy-rich than the Mind Stone.

However, given the extreme rarity of Mind Stones nowadays, the demon gall of a Bewitching Sea Demon can still fetch a very high price, easily tens of millions.

With the Heart Demon of the Misty Sea completely dead, the ever-expanding and increasingly dense mist stopped increasing.

As everything around them gradually became clearer and their field of vision broadened, the tense nerves of the group relaxed a little.

"How are you feeling? Are you badly injured?" Jiang Yuan turned around and quickly walked to Mu Nujiao's side, who was healing her wounds, his face full of concern.

"It's nothing," Mu Nujiao gently shook her head.

"She's fine, just maybe a bit too much blood loss. Once the wound heals, there shouldn't be any problems," Nan Rongni explained from the side.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded, feeling relieved.

“There,” Mu Nujiao pointed in a direction with her left hand, a hint of excitement in her eyes, “that’s the twin flowers.”

In fact, she didn't need to point it out; everyone had already seen the strange twin flowers when the mist dissipated.

"I'll go get it!" Mo Fan, always an impatient person, took the initiative to run over, carefully retrieved the twin flowers, and his face was filled with a smug smile.

"Another big sum of money, hahaha!"

"That's faster than robbery!"

Everyone chimed in with their own words, their faces beaming with excitement.

Indeed, robbery not only involves risking one's life, but even after working oneself to the bone, one can only earn a few million or tens of millions, or at most a hundred million.

In this treasure hunt, they can make billions in just half a day.

This is simply a godsend, an absolute welfare scheme!

It's easy to imagine that the mages watching outside must have been so jealous their teeth were about to fall out.

“Everyone’s almost here, let’s go to the Soul Seed,” Jiang Yuan said.

Because the three-eyed underworld general's hound brought some new information.

There are a lot of people in the Soul Seed area.

A long river runs through the treasure hunt battlefield, its waters flowing slowly and shimmering in the sunlight.

Downstream, several Nazca Line dogs strolled leisurely, their steps relaxed, occasionally pausing to look around. The Nationalist troops hiding in the shadows began to murmur amongst themselves.

They didn't recognize the Nazca Lines. Although the South American incident had shocked the world, the most important thing for the National Team was to gain experience, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

At the time of the incident, only China, Japan, and India were in South America, and Japan and India had already been eliminated.

Everyone who knows the Nazca Lines is now in the spectator stands.

“Where do these ever-changing red monsters come from? Why do I see them again?” Angelo from Italy complained.

"Saw them again?" A sense of unease rose in the heart of the American team's Yak, recalling that he had also seen these harmless demons before Jiang Yuan's arrival.

"Yeah, they never bring anything good when they appear!" Angelo felt a pang of heartache as he thought of the treasure Jiang Yuan had stolen from him, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

"Did Jiang Yuan appear as soon as they appeared?" Yake asked, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Angelo nodded: "Yes, those wretched demons are like they're stalking us."

Other teams also reported encountering similar demons, and the group began to discuss their experiences. After a heated discussion, they realized something was amiss, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Angelo, slow to react, finally understood what everyone was saying, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "These demons are in cahoots with the Chinese team!"

"They must be summoned creatures of the Chinese team!" Yak couldn't help but curse, his face full of anger. "Every time the Chinese team steals our treasures, one of these demons appears! Damn it, they even have a very strong summoning mage in their team!"

"Did these demons see everything we just did?" someone asked.

Yak suddenly realized something, his face turning deathly pale. He quickly said, "We have to leave! The Chinese team must already know we've set a trap here!"

After saying that, he hurriedly led the American team in one direction.

Watching the American team flee in disarray, Italy's Angelo grumbled, "Is this the strongest American team ever? We have so many people. So what if the Chinese team finds us? Once they step into this area, they'll definitely be trapped. Then we'll launch a coordinated attack. Do you think we can just turn the tables and kill them?"

His words calmed the anxious group, and they looked at each other, their confidence rekindled.

There were only sixteen teams participating in the treasure hunt. Excluding the American team that left, there were eleven teams present, totaling more than one hundred people!

Seeing so many people around them, the group instantly felt more confident. They continued to lie in wait, waiting for the Chinese team to enter the trap area.

At this moment, the Chinese team had already seen the long river.

"Is the Soul Seed just ahead?" Mo Fan asked.

“It’s just downstream, you can go and take a look first,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Mo Fan looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously. "Your tone is off. Is there some danger?"

“Of course, the place where the treasure is kept is dangerous,” Guan Yu said from the side, his tone serious.

"If there's danger, let's go together, go go go!" Mo Fan said impatiently.

Jiang Yuan extended his electromagnetic field to the area in front of him, and his mental energy followed.

He had already encountered curses in Egypt and had a deep understanding of them.

Soon, he clearly sensed the presence of the cursed trap.

"There is a curse ahead."

The crowd stopped walking abruptly.

"A curse? Then we probably won't be able to get close." Ai Jiangtu frowned.

"It's alright, the curse isn't strong. I can handle it," Jiang Yuan said.

His words were like a reassurance, easing everyone's initial tension.

After a brief pause, the group continued walking towards the Soul Seed.
