Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 257 The Appearance of a Stranger
The water was churning, and five enormous shadows were about to break through the surface.

The crowd could already see their gray-black scales and ferocious bodies, and the white patterns on their heads looked like howling demons.

The once refreshing sea breeze now felt sticky, and cold sweat poured down like raindrops.

"What the hell is that thing?!"

The students trembled, a nameless fear causing them to shrink behind Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao had already taken action; when she sensed these sea monsters, starlight had already lit up around her.

Star trails combine to form star charts, star charts form constellations, and seven constellations come together to form a magnificent and dazzling star palace.

The powerful super-level magic brought a sense of security to everyone.

Suddenly, after a burst of verdant light illuminated the neighborhood, a vast sea of ​​plants began to grow wildly from the bottom of the water.

Flower buds of various colors bloom, and even underwater, one can feel a strange energy surging in the water and air.

As the five sea monsters surfaced, Mu Nujiao's plant-based super-level magic was completed.

Mu Nujiao finally clearly perceived the level of the several demon-faced monster fish in front of her.

Four junior commanders and one advanced-stage senior commander!
With such a setup, even a whole squad of high-level mages would perish here!
"Jehoo~~~~~"

The monstrous fish with the demonic face emitted a low and eerie demonic sound, accompanied by intense dizziness and nausea, causing the students to bend over in pain.

"Careful, cover your ears! Use any sound-blocking methods you have immediately!" Mu Nujiao urged urgently.

Even she felt uncomfortable with the strange sounds, let alone the students.

After reminding the students, she immediately manipulated the plants to attack the demon-faced monster fish.

Humans know very little about sirens.

Since sea levels rose, many previously unseen sea monsters have caused immense suffering to humankind.

Their powers are so varied and unpredictable that they are impossible to defend against.

These monstrous, demon-faced fish in front of me are sea monsters I've never seen before; they seem to possess sonic abilities.

While dealing with these monstrous fish with evil faces, Mu Nujiao tried her best to record their characteristics and abilities.

As time went by, more and more plants appeared in the community, making it easier for Mu Nujiao to deal with them.

But her face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that she was severely affected by the demonic sound.

Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Nujiao immediately released all the plants.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"

In an instant, the five demon-faced fish were pierced by the tangled plant vines and lifted into the air above the residential area!
Dark blue blood seeped out from the cracks.

Having dealt with the sea monsters, Mu Nujiao immediately withdrew her magic and gave the retreat order to the trembling crowd behind her: "Mission aborted. We're returning immediately. Get moving!"

These words jolted everyone awake. They hurriedly moved their feet back the way they came, their steps extremely disordered.

Mu Nujiao immediately scolded, "Keep things in order! If something happens while you're all in such a chaotic state, you won't be able to react in time!"

Her words calmed most of the students down, but a few still disobeyed and ran even faster. One of them was a wind mage, whose speed left afterimages in his wake.

However, perhaps due to panic, they ran in a completely different direction from where they came from, heading towards the sea.

The waters are deeper there, and there are more sirens!

"You're going in the wrong direction!!!"

Mu Nujiao's cries echoed, but the students still didn't stop.

Having no other choice, Mu Nujiao immediately said to the two teachers, "Please take the students back to the position quickly, I will go and bring them back."

This entire area has been submerged by seawater, and people who are not familiar with it can easily get lost.

Moreover, there are even more commander-level sea monsters there, making high-level mages simply not enough to contend with.

Therefore, Mu Nujiao had to go there by herself.

After giving a brief explanation, Mu Nujiao quickly caught up with the students. She caught up with them in just a few minutes.

Unfortunately, she was too late.

Ahead, an octopus-like sea monster covered in tentacles was feasting; as for what it was eating, there's no need to elaborate.

Mu Nujiao was shocked, and a strong sense of guilt rose in her heart.

She was too kind-hearted. If anyone else had encountered this situation, they certainly wouldn't have chased after them or cared about the lives of these disobedient students.

After all, their actions could very well lead to even greater casualties.

But Mu Nujiao has seen far too many deaths recently.

These students shouldn't have died.

Mu Nujiao suddenly felt down and began to blame herself for not being attentive.

"Save me. Save me"

A faint cry for help rang in her ears.

Mu Nujiao, however, could not find the source of the sound; the sea monster was still devouring flesh and blood.

Anger surged within him, and he wanted to rush forward and grind the sea monster to dust.

"No!" Mu Nujiao shook her head abruptly.

No, I'm not in the right state of mind!
Something is disturbing my mind!
"This is the champion of this year's National Games? A super-level mage was actually trapped by the illusion of a commander-level siren. It seems that this year's opponents are still too weak!"

A disdainful voice rang out from not far away.

Mu Nujiao broke free from the illusion's influence, and the gruesome scene of the students being devoured by the sea monster vanished.

The real scene was that the students were lying weakly on the ground, with several thick tentacles emerging from the water, wrapping around their bodies, and desperately trying to burrow into several holes.

The contemptuous voice just now came from a group of people to Mu Nujiao's right front. They were wearing uniforms that Mu Nujiao had never seen before, and their faces were indifferent.

It gives off a feeling of being high and mighty.

Mu Nujiao didn't care who these people were and quickly used magic to rescue the trapped students.

They then tied them up with vines and returned along the same route, evacuating the area flooded by the sea.

During this time, the group of people remained motionless, coldly watching Mu Nujiao's actions until she left, at which point they followed her.

"Do you want to take action?"

"We've found her. All we need to do is take her away at the right time. After all, this is within China, and she's still the eldest daughter of the Mu family."

.........

the other side.

Although she found the group of people who had just appeared strange, Mu Nujiao did not investigate further.

Countless mages have come to the coastline of Shanghai, so it's normal to encounter some you don't recognize.

The most urgent task is to bring these students back safely.

It took Mu Nujiao nearly ten minutes to catch up with the main group.

Yes, they didn't encounter any accidents.

Seeing this, Mu Nujiao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to return to the front line of the Shanghai coastline.

Upon arriving at their destination, Mu Nujiao placed the students in the wounded soldiers' camp and found two teachers.

Before she could speak, the two teachers spoke up.
