Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 151, Peruvian Gobi Valley
"Then you have to compensate me, you sly fox!" Chen Hao pressed his advantage, rubbing his palm against her slender thigh.

"That's going too far." Jiang Shaoxu sat down next to Chen Hao, her cheeks slightly flushed, and twisted her body in protest.

"You scoundrel, your hands are so restless! Try touching your Nanrong Ni!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted, slapping away the increasingly inappropriate hand.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to this, and Nan Rongni's face flushed red. She lowered her head under the table, not daring to look up.

It's not surprising that Jiang Shaoxu was unwilling to develop a deeper relationship with Chen Hao. After all, this guy never hid his womanizing nature; he'd fall for any pretty girl he saw, but always only scratch the surface.

Furthermore, the Mind-Body Connection allows Jiang Shaoxu to understand Chen Hao's personality better than other girls. Chen Hao's views on partners are always difficult for her to accept. After all, she is a repressed twenty-year-old girl who still harbors fantasies about pure love.

"Tch, who told you to get so close?" Chen Hao shrugged, looking innocent, as if he wouldn't have made a move if you hadn't come so close.

"We're not far from the Peruvian pavilion, Lao Ai, let's split up," Chen Hao said, his tone becoming more serious. "You take a group to challenge them; the students here are generally weak, there's no way they'll have any high-level mages. The rest of you—"

He glanced at the crowd, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and asked softly, "Who wants to come with me on a treasure hunt?"

"I!!"

"I want to go!!"

"Take me with you..."

"..."

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Ai Jiangtu nodded helplessly and led Mu Tingying, Jiang Yu, Guan Yu, and Nan Rongni to the Peruvian National Pavilion—Royal Felipe Castle.

The others followed Chen Hao to the ruins of Mo City.

Challenging the pavilion is not a tough job; many people in the team are eager to do it, since it's worth contributing points, and each National Pavilion Medal represents a share of National Government resources.

Although no one can take it all for themselves, whoever wins the battle gets a larger share—that's the rule.

……

They set off on a whim, without much planning. Before the sun had even set, the group was already on their way through the yellow sand and sweltering heat. In the distance, a few streaks of fiery sunset lingered on the horizon, blurring its light.

Chen Hao, having not used his beast-like vehicle for a long time, summoned it again. After installing the seats, he wanted to have his arms around both of them. Nan Jue on his left and Jiang Shaoxu on his right, but unfortunately, Nan Jue, that stubborn girl, would rather get out and walk than agree.

Before long, they arrived at a rolling Gobi valley.

"It should be just ahead." Chen Hao dismounted and stood on a jagged rock, gazing at the end of the dark valley, feeling the Condensed Evil Pearl's increasingly intense reaction.

It is said that the ruins of Mocheng were buried deep in the earth's crust by wind and sand, leaving only a narrow valley entrance. On both sides of the valley entrance are towering fault-lined stone walls, like two continental plates that have been split apart, making this passage a narrow strip of sky.

"Is this the safest path to the ruins?" Zhao Manyan frowned. "Why do I get the feeling that it's fraught with danger?"

"That means you're quite perceptive." Chen Hao sneered, pointing to the gray rocks that were faintly protruding in the Gobi Desert ahead: "See those rocks? Forbidden Moon Stone Demons. They live in places like this where the ley lines intersect. They have thick skin and are incredibly strong. If you wander in recklessly, you'll probably get smashed into mincemeat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao shot out a beam of battle qi from his finger.

boom!
With a small explosion, the "stones" indeed moved the next moment!
One by one, rocks that seemed to be sleeping crawled and rose from the gravel. Their gray-black shells were covered with cracks and runes, and some of their eye sockets even shone with a faint purple light, as if the afterglow of the setting sun had awakened their brutal instincts.

One by one, four or five-meter-tall stone figures were awakened. They scanned the intruders with their rocky bodies, and the tiny specks of light looked back and forth like eyeballs. In the end, they found nothing and sank back into the mountain, looking like an ordinary mountain wall.

"Hiss! These are all warriors!!!" Mo Fan gasped. There were dozens of warriors just at the entrance, comparable to a powerful demon's lair. He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if he went deeper.

The expressions on everyone's faces also turned serious. No wonder the locals weren't interested in this strange phenomenon; it was probably just the beginning, and no one knew what strange things might come up to hinder them later.

"I'll give it a try." Chen Hao took out the Flying Umbrella, opened it, and the silver-black blades shone with a crescent-shaped luster in the wind.

He stomped his foot, channeling magical energy into the umbrella handle. The propeller spun rapidly, and with a "whoosh," he soared into the air, passing over the slumbering Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, and flew towards the end of the valley.

The setting sun cast its light on his figure, as if draping him in a layer of firelight, while the shadow under the umbrella subtly attracted some lurking disturbances.

The instant he flew over the valley entrance—

Swish swish swish swish—!

Dozens or even hundreds of dark figures suddenly burst out from the cracks in the fractured stone wall, like streaks of black wind, moving so fast that they almost left afterimages!
"Bats?!" Zhao Manyan shouted.

"It's a Sun Black Bat!" Nan Jue's expression changed. "These creatures specifically sense shadows at high altitudes to hunt, and the shadow of the Flying Umbrella lured them out!"

Chen Hao frowned as he saw the dense swarm of black bats surrounding him. Several of them were particularly large, with wingspans of six or seven meters, and they emitted rings of sound waves that disrupted his mental energy, directly hitting his eardrums and brain.

It's a bit annoying, but I can ignore it.

Chen Hao increased the engine speed, the propellers roared, and the speed increased even more, flying straight towards the opposite side of the Gobi Valley, completely disregarding any potential dangers.

But this is only the beginning.

More sun-black bats swarmed down from the stone wall, blotting out the sun and enveloping the area around the flying umbrella in a dark cloud, almost completely covering it from all sides.

"My God!!!! Has he gone mad? Why is he ignoring the warnings from the flying demons???" Nan Jue couldn't help but exclaim.

"Let's get out of here quickly, or we'll get dragged into this." Seeing the situation was turning bad, Mo Fan made the decision immediately.

"This...how can this be?" Jiang Shaoxu said in disbelief. Wasn't this betraying his teammates?

Mu Ningxue frowned; he believed Mo Fan wouldn't be that kind of person.

"Listen to him, the captain should be confident in retreating on his own. Let's not hold him back," Nan Jue said rationally.

"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. If he can't handle this, we'll just be adding food to these demons' diet if we stay here." Mo Fan urged the cattle and horses to turn around, and everyone else got on and headed away from the Gobi Valley in the opposite direction.

Having hunted demons with Chen Hao so many times, Mo Fan was well aware of Chen Hao's nature. Provoking flying demons was routine for him. Even if he was beaten up and bruised, it wouldn't change Chen Hao's obsession with air superiority.

In his eyes, flying demons were humanity's number one enemy, greatly limiting human development.

If we could control the airspace, the land demons would have been wiped out by humans long ago. A single advanced drone could monitor a demon tribe and easily determine the density and distribution of demons in a region.

There's absolutely no need for human exploration by mages. With a God's-eye view, high-definition lenses, and various perspectives and imaging techniques, practically none of them can escape.

Demons that have lost their ability to hide are easy prey for humans to kill. Even a black dragon of emperor rank can be captured alive if pre-planned!

……

High in the sky, Chen Hao gritted his teeth and kept the flying parachute in place. He frowned and suddenly stretched out his hand, a bright blue electric light flashing on his right arm.

boom! ! !
A thick bolt of lightning pierced the sky, descending from the tip of Chen Hao's umbrella and slamming into the core of the bat swarm!
At that moment, the night seemed to be torn apart, and the entire airspace was transformed into a lightning inferno. The deafening roar continued, and hundreds of bats convulsed, burned, and turned to ashes in the lightning.

But Chen Hao's brows remained furrowed, and a large number of bats still hovered in the air, clearly only temporarily avoiding the brunt of the thunder's attack, and could return at any time.

He took a deep breath and immediately swooped down. The flying umbrella, accelerated by the lightning, transformed into a streak of purple and white light, plummeting back to the front of the group. As soon as his toes touched the ground, the lightning dissipated on the surface.

"Fuck your grandpa!!!" Zhao Manyan cursed, his voice cracking as he looked at the overwhelming swarm of bats behind him.

The others turned pale instantly, while Mo Fan wore an expression that said, "I knew it." "Light Falls on Manjushri - Punishment!"

Chen Hao extended his left hand, palm up, and a kind of gentle yet sacred light appeared around him like golden raindrops amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

But the next moment, those golden threads suddenly burst open, turning into countless straight pillars of light that fell from the sky, as if the entire sky was covered by Chen Hao's will!

One, two, ten... hundreds!

Like needles of light, like divine retribution, the bats tried to form a formation in the air, but were pierced by beams of light like a rain of arrows, their sharp screech echoing continuously.

The formation of the sun bats completely collapsed. Some exploded into clumps in the pillar of light, some fled in panic, and some had their wings scorched and fell to the ground!

"Hiss! What level of light magic is this? I feel like even at the third level of the advanced stage, I wouldn't have this kind of power!" Zhao Manyan's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

“Domain!” Mu Ningxue’s eyes narrowed, and she immediately realized what it meant.

"So powerful..." Nan Jue murmured, looking at the sky full of light, a hint of respect appearing in his eyes.

Chen Hao did not stop his actions; the light falling on Manzhang was just the prologue.

He took a deep breath, spread his arms, and the light in front of his chest began to gather into an extremely dazzling core of light, as if attracting the remaining sunlight around him!

Seven star charts were superimposed and diffused, with 343 golden stars forming a constellation totem above his head, resembling a giant holy emblem hanging in the air.

"Rain of Judgment!"

Chen Hao spoke softly, his voice carrying an unyielding will.

Boom!

Within the constellations, countless spears of light appeared out of thin air, their tips burning with golden flames, as if a gate of divine punishment had opened in the sky!
Swish swish swish swish!

The next instant, the light spears rained down like a storm, covering the sky and the earth!
The entire sky instantly brightened as if it were daytime. Every beam of light that fell carried terrifying penetrating and burning power. Even if the swarm of bats numbered in the hundreds or thousands, they were scattered like paper in the face of this divine punishment!
"This is fucking outrageous..." Li Kaifeng's mouth was agape, almost forgetting to dodge. His shadow power couldn't even muster the thought of resisting this light.

Even Mo Fan frowned, but a hint of approval appeared in his eyes: "This guy... is getting more and more violent."

Thirty seconds later, the swarm of bats in the air had dwindled to almost nothing. The oppressive shadow that had been suffocating was completely dispelled. The ground was littered with charred bat carcasses, and the air still held the lingering tremors of thunder and the afterglow of the flames.

Bats could still be faintly seen circling in the distant sky, but they were clearly completely intimidated and dared not approach easily.

"This is something I just recorded while I was in the air." Chen Hao took out his advanced camera and played the video. A video shot from high above slowly unfolded. In the footage, a storm-shrouded area was vaguely visible. At the end of the undulating Gobi Desert, it seemed that the ruins of a city were buried under the mist and sand.

“That should be our destination,” he said.

“It seems this Gobi Valley won’t be too long,” Nan Jue judged, looking at the image. “Once we pass through this area where high-energy ley lines intersect, we can get close to the outer edge of the storm. As for these Forbidden Moon Stone Demons… they actually have no eyesight and their perception is very dull. They mainly rely on the vibrations of the ground and stone walls to detect their targets.”

"You have an idea?" Chen Hao looked at her.

Nan Jue nodded, her expression focused, and said, "We can use the elemental instrument to interfere with the earth's ley line resonance, which is equivalent to blinding the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon's 'eyes.' As long as we move gently and don't cause a large-scale tremor, we can pass through safely."

"But isn't the effective range of your elemental instrument only one hundred meters?" Mu Ningxue frowned.

“That’s right.” Nan Jue remained calm. “So we have to use multiple instruments to advance in relay. One will continuously interfere from the front, while another will be retrieved from the rear for backup, and then we will keep moving forward.”

"What if something goes wrong along the way and we get stuck in the valley?" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but ask.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Hao immediately said, "The plan is good. Let's follow Nan Jue's proposal."

The group looked at each other, and finally nodded.

……

The next morning, as the sun rose above the horizon, the group arrived at the entrance to the Gobi Valley once again.

Nan Jue bent down and embedded a modified elemental instrument into the valley floor like a spinning top, deftly adjusting the frequency scale on the instrument with his fingers. Soon, the device emitted a soft "beep" and lit up with a green light.

"Startup successful. Next, install the other one a hundred meters ahead, activate resonance, and you can pass safely," she said, standing up.

"Can't this thing be controlled remotely? It would be so much easier to send it over using telekinesis," Mo Fan asked.

“No,” Nan Jue said seriously. “The terrain frequency is different in each area, so it needs to be calibrated locally.”

"I'll take you there," Chen Hao suddenly said.

"How are you going to deliver it? You can't fly here, and if you make a fuss, we're doomed!" Nan Jue frowned, having originally planned to risk rushing forward himself.

Without explaining, Chen Hao suddenly picked her up in his arms.

"You—!" Nan Jue's face flushed red, and the chaotic scene from Zhuoyuan flashed through his mind, causing him to freeze.

The next second, starlight appeared around Chen Hao, and silvery-white light spots surrounded him like stardust. The constellation map of the spatial system quickly lit up in his mental world!
The space rippled and twisted, and the two disappeared silently from the spot!

"Instantaneous teleportation!!!" Zhao Manyan's eyes widened.

"High-level Space-type." Mu Ningxue's eyes held a hint of complexity.

call out!
Chen Hao and Nan Jue appeared silently a hundred meters in front of the valley. The moment they landed, their steps were so light that not a single grain of sand was stirred up.

However, just as they regained their footing—

"Crackling sound~~~~~~~~~"

A strange sound suddenly rang out from the broken walls on both sides, and rock faces that seemed to be sealed in the stone walls slowly emerged. First, there were eye sockets, noses, and lips, and then stone demon heads that looked like giant eagles slowly "hatched" out of the rock walls!

Each one seemed like a guardian who had been asleep for thousands of years, now being awakened by some disturbance, opening its deep-set, pupil-less eye sockets.

"...Stop daydreaming and get back to work!" Chen Hao said as he put Nan Jue down.

"I didn't—!" Nan Jue glared at him in shame and indignation, but immediately squatted down and began to concentrate on adjusting the frequency of the instrument.

Chen Hao stood in front of her, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. Although the stone demons had not yet taken action, their fighting spirit was slowly rising, and they could go berserk at any moment.

“…The interference field has been activated!” Nan Jue said in a low voice.

thump—

An invisible ripple seemed to spread across the ground.

In an instant, the restless stone demons seemed to be frozen in place, slowly retreating back into the rock face, the cracks closed, and the mountain fell silent.

"Well done." Chen Hao smiled slightly.
