Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 192 Three People Die Before Leaving the Country, He Angrily Confronts Feng Li

"Nan Rong, their injuries." Nan Jue turned to look at Nan Rong Ni, who was casting a spell.

Nan Rongni's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the light of the healing star map in his hand flickered.

"No. My healing magic can't hold up...!" Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to her knees on the beach.

Nan Jue immediately contacted the instructors at the National Academy. Although there was a certain mortality rate during the National Academy's training, they were powerless to help the two injured people and could only request support.

Her voice was urgent and slightly hoarse: "Requesting emergency support! Two team members are seriously injured and need a high-level healing mage! Repeat, we need a high-level healing mage!"

A sharp "crash" suddenly came from the other end of the communicator, like the sound of a teacup shattering, followed by Instructor Feng Li's signature roar that almost shattered the communicator: "What?! Something else?! What are you little brats doing?!"

Over the communicator, he could faintly hear other instructors trying to dissuade him: "Old Feng, calm down."

"Calm down my ass!" Feng Li's roar faded into the distance. "Get the car ready! No, drive the Demon Wings over here!"

In less than an hour, several black dots appeared on the horizon, quickly magnifying into human figures with outstretched magical wings.

Leading the group was none other than their mentor, Feng Li.

"Look what you've done!" Feng Li's eyes widened as he pointed at the two seriously injured men. "I've led twelve National Teams, and you're the first team to lose three members before even leaving the country!" His gaze swept over everyone. "Is this a training exercise or a suicide mission?!"

Jiang Yu steeled himself and stepped forward, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with academic rigor: "Professor Feng Li, the situation we've encountered is somewhat unusual. We've discovered a giant vortex sea monster in the nearshore area, a creature that should be inhabiting the deep sea."

Ai Jiangtu then recounted the events concerning the baby.

Nan Jue added, "Furthermore, the entire Crimson Ling Demon horde's whereabouts are very suspicious, as if they were deliberately wiped out by some force. When we went to their lair, there were no signs of battle, but the entire Crimson Ling Demon horde had vanished."

Feng Li's expression gradually became serious.

He crouched down, his rough fingers gently brushing across Mu Tingying's empty left sleeve, where the wound was still oozing a liquid with a fishy smell.

“Deep-sea creatures have appeared in the near sea. The Crimson Demon Clan has been silently wiped out. And there are infants.” He stood up, his anger replaced by sharp vigilance.

The accompanying healing mentor had already begun treating the wounded, and a soft light enveloped the two of them.

"It seems the safety assessment for Asuka City needs to be redone."

Feng Li then suddenly turned to Qin Xiaonan, "Kid, you were there, did you figure anything out?"

He learned some things about Qin Xiaonan through Dean Songhe, and knew that he was the strongest among these people.

However, Qin Xiaonan met Feng Li's scrutiny and, instead of answering his question, said, "If you've discovered anything, hurry up and investigate. Stop dawdling, okay? What do you want us to investigate by leaving us here?"

"You!" Feng Li's forehead veins bulged.

"What resources do we students have?" Qin Xiaonan stepped forward. "This matter concerns the infants in Anjie Village. Can't you do something worthwhile?"

Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, and the others' pupils contracted slightly.

None of them expected Qin Xiaonan to question her mentor so directly.

Jiang Shaoxu stepped between the two at the opportune moment: "Instructor Feng Li, look at this." She then took out a previously saved photo, "Such a young child, brutally..."

In the picture, two very young babies are curled up in the stomach of the Crimson Demon, their bodies rotting, their tiny fingers still in a grasping posture, as if they were trying to hold onto something in their final moments.

Feng Li clenched his fist, then suddenly relaxed it. After a long while, he turned and walked out, took out an encrypted communicator, and dialed a number.

"Something terrible has happened." His voice was low. "Yes, it's off the coast of Asuka City, and it's worse than last time."

Ten minutes later, Feng Li returned with a gloomy face.

He glanced around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Qin Xiaonan: "This is none of your business."

"What do you mean?" Mu Nujiao couldn't help but ask.

"We'll arrange for you to go to the Land of Cherry Blossoms as soon as possible." Feng Li's nails dug deeply into his palms. "Leave the rest to us." He looked up at the dark sea, his voice filled with an unprecedented killing intent. "Those beasts who laid a hand on the children..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

(Japan subsequently referred to it as the Land of Cherry Blossoms)
Qin Xiaonan quietly replied, "I hope so."

He remembered that after the Nationalist government submitted the matter, it did not fully investigate who was behind it, and the matter continued to ferment without any substantial progress.

However, Qin Xiaonan has now summoned the Silverwing Ant Queen and a portion of the Atlantic Empire's Siren Legion. If a similar incident were to occur again...

Or if some humans try to cooperate with the siren and do something excessive, he will deal with it in his own way.
-
Just after the Atlantic Siren arrived in this sea area through the spatial channel constructed by the "Abyss of Evil" and the Sun Disk.

They have not only occupied this coastal area near Asuka City, but are also gradually spreading towards the distant sea area bordering the Sakura Kingdom.

There are many demons in this sea area, but their strength is generally average. Without an emperor-level sea monster to guard it, they are gradually being eliminated by the elite sea monster forces of the Atlantic Ocean.

Because of the Silver-winged Ant Queen and the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor, one suppressed spatial fluctuations and the other guided the ocean tides.

Therefore, their actions did not cause much of a ripple on the sea surface.

Meanwhile, on the largest sea battlefield in the Sakura Kingdom—the "Narumi Defense Line" near Xibo City—the mages stationed there were gazing at the unusually calm sea with confusion.

"There haven't been any sirens attacking for two days."

The young sentry, Kenta Fujiwara, rubbed his eyes. "Even the most common sea monkeys are nowhere to be seen."

The seasoned mage, Ryunosuke Sato, frowned: "Something's not right. Siren never retreats on their own initiative. This isn't a good thing."

"Look at the sea in the distance."

Following his directions, the young sentry saw many enormous dark shadows swimming by in the distance beneath the sea.

Although their commander here also sensed that something was wrong, he was not clear about the specifics.

At this moment, in the deep sea abyss beneath the surface, the Atlantic sirens are launching a full-scale attack on the native sirens.

By manipulating ocean tides and currents, and with the help of a powerful sea monster army, the Sea-Suppressing Beast Emperor quickly gained control of this sea area.

The change of power among the sirens has come to an end.

This was a near-silent conquest, so much so that the mages of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom only saw the surface of peace.
