Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 244 Jiang Shaoxu Trapped

Baiba Mountain.

The sacred land of the Feathered Clan.

It is also the venue for the Feather Clan's grand ceremony.

In this remote place, a man, covered in dust and dirt, climbed up the mountain, trembling with fear as he passed through the territory of each winged demon.

"Oh no, oh no, the wind is coming soon, I have to find a place to hide. Otherwise, I'll really perish." Jiang Shaoxu gasped for breath, her eyes scanning her surroundings.

The wind was getting stronger, and it stung my face slightly as it brushed against it.

Jiang Shaoxu's expression was solemn.

It looks like the wind is coming soon.

"I shouldn't have run in here alone. How could I be so stupid?" Jiang Shaoxu scolded herself harshly, then hurriedly searched for a hiding place.

She spotted a tree hole not far away, and her eyes lit up.

"Rage!!!!!"

Suddenly, a bird's cry rang out. Jiang Shaoxu turned around and saw a flock of transparent, ice-like birds swooping down towards her.

That's an Ice Winged Bird.

Jiang Shaoxu moved swiftly, rushing into the tree hole, and then desperately used ice magic to seal the entrance, layer upon layer.

It didn't stop until the magical energy dried up.

Just then, a "ding-ding-ding" sound came from outside, as the ice-winged birds were pecking at the ice that Jiang Shaoxu had created.

"No, we need to call for help."

Jiang Shaoxu's face turned ashen. She took out a special item from her bosom that could transmit distress messages and location information to the military.

After using it, Jiang Shaoxu watched the special item disappear before she finally felt a little relieved.

But the "ding-ding" sound outside the tree hole continued incessantly.

"Brother, you see? Your sister is going to die too." Jiang Shaoxu said with a self-deprecating laugh, curling up and moving to a corner.

After a while, the sound dissipated.

Jiang Shaoxu finally breathed a sigh of relief; she wouldn't have to die in the mouth of the demons now.

She had heard that bird demons would specifically peck at internal organs and brains, resulting in extremely gruesome deaths. She would rather starve to death in a tree hole than be pecked to death.

Gazing at the thick, white ice wall, Jiang Shaoxu slowly drifted off to sleep.

Upon receiving the distress signal, the military headquarters also began organizing people to come to the Qinling Mountains to rescue Jiang Shaoxu.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had just arrived at the Qinling Mountains.

……

Jiang Yuan crossed the Dahengling Mountains and continued towards his destination.

More and more winged demons appeared around, and the plants began to grow taller, with some ancient trees reaching several thousand meters in height!

"Lie!!!"

"Uh!" Jiang Yuan casually dealt with a Grand Commander-level Golden Blue Sparrowhawk.

This was the thirteenth commander-level demon he had killed.

They are too territorial.

Jiangyuan is not even allowed to pass by.

Then I'll just have to kill him while I'm at it.

Soon, Jiang Yuan arrived at the territory of the Ice Winged Bird.

He learned from the information given by the surrounding plants that a person had come here not long ago and was hiding in the tree hollow ahead.

It's still alive.

"Ok?"

When Jiang Yuan arrived at the tree hole, even through the thick layer of ice, he could feel the presence of a familiar person.

Jiang Shaoxu?
In the original timeline, she began searching for Jiang Shaojun's whereabouts across the country after the Nationalist government was established, and was eventually trapped in a tree hole in Baiba Mountain.

Many geniuses were rescued by Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou and others.

It seems that this event still happened.

Jiang Yuan arrived here many days earlier than Mo Fan, while Jiang Shaoxu had only just hidden herself inside. Since they had encountered her, they couldn't leave her unattended.

Jiang Yuan controlled his power and gently tapped the ice layer sealing the tree hole with his fingers. Only a series of "crackling" sounds rang out, and deep cracks appeared on the surface of the ice layer.

In a single second, the ice layer cracked open with a deafening roar!

The loud noise woke up Jiang Shaoxu from her sleep.

Jiang Shaoxu, who was in the darkness, looked up at the cave entrance, and the light shone on Jiang Yuan.

For a moment, she even thought she was seeing a god.

"Team Jiangyuan?"

Jiang Shaoxu shook her dizzy head and rubbed her eyes.

Jiang Yuan remained standing there.

"No, no, why would Jiang Yuan be here alone? Am I going to die and start dreaming?" Jiang Shaoxu said sadly.

"You're not dreaming, it's me."

Jiang Yuan spoke.

"Really?!" Jiang Shaoxu's voice suddenly rose.

Suddenly, a crisp "snap" sounded from inside the tree hole.

"The pain is real!"

Jiang Shaoxu screamed, rushed out of the tree hole, jumped up and gave Jiang Yuan a tight hug, hanging her whole body on him.

Jiang Yuan instinctively supported Jiang Shaoxu's buttocks with both hands to prevent her from sliding down.

This reminded him of the "smack" sound he had just heard.

Although the light inside the tree hollow was dim, his eyes could see clearly that Jiang Shaoxu had slapped himself hard on the buttocks.

"I thought I was going to die here, but I never expected someone to come and save me, and it was you, Captain! I'm so happy!" Jiang Shaoxu said, relieved to have survived the ordeal.

"But Captain, how did you end up in the Qinling Mountains? And you came all alone?" After the initial excitement, Jiang Shaoxu asked.

"Um, would you like to come down and talk?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Ok."

Jiang Shaoxu got off Jiang Yuan, a regretful expression on her face.

She didn't forget to get down; she simply didn't want to.

The sense of security that Jiangyuan provides is truly overwhelming.

"So, Captain, why did you come to the Qinling Mountains?" Jiang Shaoxu asked again.

"I heard the Feather Clan's grand ceremony is about to begin, so I came to take a look," Jiang Yuan replied casually.

"The Feather Clan Grand Ceremony?" Jiang Shaoxu thought for a moment, recalling the information about the Feather Clan he had seen before the Qinling Mountains, and said, "I know what you mean by the Feather Clan Grand Ceremony. It is held only once every few years and will give birth to a Feather Emperor who will rule the Feather Clan. It is indeed very rare. However, it is too dangerous to come to the Qinling Mountains just to see this Feather Clan Grand Ceremony."

"It's not dangerous at all, and I feel very comfortable here," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Jiang Shaoxu remembered Jiang Yuan's heretical identity.

So he asked, "Captain, may I ask you something about what happened at Parthenon that day?"

“Of course,” Jiang Yuan nodded, “that was a ceremony I had been planning for a long time.”

Jiang Shaoxu pursed her lips: "Captain, you've been labeled a heretic by the Holy City because of this, and now there are people all over the world trying to capture you. Is this why you came to the Qinling Mountains?"

She didn't say the word "hide," but the meaning was already very clear.

However, Jiang Yuan wanted to say something.

He was already a supreme emperor, ruling over the entire underworld, and had two imperial generals and a large number of undead lords under his command.

Should we avoid the Holy City's sharp edge?

joke.

"It's just a heretical identity. Even if I stood in front of those archangels in the Holy City, they couldn't do anything to me," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Even forbidden spellcasters wouldn't dare say something like that, Captain, when did you become so strong?"

Jiang Shaoxu didn't mean to mock him; she was simply very curious about how Jiang Yuan could say such domineering things.

They don't even care about the Holy City!
