Full-Time Magister: One Evolution Point Per Second

Chapter 92 Shocking News: Well Water Spreads?

The golden fireballs had just landed

A blazing ball of fire exploded, resembling a dazzling yet dangerous firework.

A powerful wave of fire spread rapidly from the spot where the fire had just landed.

Golden yellow instantly took over this area.

The area within a three-meter radius was completely engulfed in crimson, and the exploding flames slammed into all the surrounding tree roots.

The flames empowered by the soul seed instantly engulfed all the surrounding tree roots, and the treants that were about to attack suddenly began to convulse.

The Xuanhuang Fire continued to burn without any sign of stopping, and had even spread towards the part buried in the soil.

In that instant, dozens of tree roots had no choice but to sever their ends to survive.

The parasitic demon was also numbed by this flame.

If it is a normal fire or explosion, at most it will burn to the roots, and it will almost automatically extinguish once it reaches the soil.

No matter how strong a fire is, it is still just a flame. Once it loses its fuel, it will go out.

Once it enters the soil, it will be forcibly extinguished.

But now?

This golden flame not only did not go out, but continued to burn from the root all the way to the main body.

If it's not broken immediately, the entire tree-man's body will most likely be burned to ashes.

"Damn it!! You deserve to die!!"

Countless tree-men roared in unison, their eyes filled with ferocity as they looked at Ye Qiu.

The parasitic demon hadn't expected this turn of events. It was just a siege, yet it had caused considerable damage to its own demon soldiers.

Some of these demon soldiers even interfere with the transportation of resources for themselves.

Originally, he wanted to forcefully kill these two people and then use the demonic energy in Ye Qiu's body as nourishment for himself.

But now?

They didn't even know if killing Ye Qiu would make up for their own losses.

At the same time, the parasitic demon also fell into deep thought.

Nothing more!

It discovered that this human's strength was actually not that great.

After all, even a mid-level spell can be interrupted by oneself; at most, it's just an instant-cast, low-level spell.

In its view, such abilities are something it can handle at will.

However, dealing with the demon soldiers under his command is a bit difficult.

Its original idea was to rely on the fact that these demon soldiers were originally human to make the other side hesitant to act, thus allowing it to control the other side.

Besides, these demon soldiers could easily deal with ordinary mid-level mages.

But?

Unfortunately, the tree-man's body is naturally countered by fire.

Furthermore, the mage in front of them actually possessed elemental abilities, which allowed him to suppress all these demon soldiers.

If we want to get rid of it now, its true form must intervene to resolve the issue.

Now, it faces a choice.

Alternatively, the main body can appear and instantly suppress the opponent, thereby extracting enough nutrients to make up for the lack of demon soldiers.

Alternatively, the original body might not appear, and everyone might leave, potentially revealing the location of their original body.

Just as Ye Qiu had expected, its appearance on this trip meant that Ye Qiu had already gotten quite close to its true form.

The reason it dares to roam under the noses of so many magicians is that its true form is not there.

If it weren't for the need to facilitate energy transportation and control these demon soldiers, it could have simply left.

Just as this parasitic demon was deep in thought...

Suddenly!

Lingling's voice rang in Ye Qiu's ears.

"I've found it! It's there!! Well water!! It must be well water!!"

Lingling looked excitedly at the location of the dry well.

At the same time, this sentence instantly illuminated Ye Qiu's thoughts.

Yup!

A dry well!!

How could there possibly be water pipes in a village where demons appear at any time!

Everyone uses well water for drinking!

The infection spread through well water; people drank the well water, thus successfully spreading the disease.

If that's the case...

Ye Qiu gasped sharply and immediately looked at Lingling beside him.

Lingling seemed to have made a connection to something as well, and looked over at almost the same time, her eyes filled with horror.

"Then...then wouldn't the whole village be...?"

Lingling didn't continue speaking, but the meaning of her words was quite clear.

Ye Qiu also fell silent.

If the source of infection is well water, then the entire village is basically doomed.

Even the normal villagers now are only in the incubation period.

Even worse, if all the subsequent magicians had drunk from the well water, then...

That consequence...

The reason this matter wasn't mentioned in the original work is probably because one of the parties involved chose to completely erase it.

At this point, there's not much more to say.

Ye Qiu made a quick decision and rushed straight toward the dry well.

The moment Ye Qiu made a move, the treants watching nearby also noticed the direction Ye Qiu was heading.

In an instant, all the tree-men went berserk.

All the tree-men rushed towards Ye Qiu as if they had gone mad.

At the same time, a huge branch emerged from the dry well and instantly stabbed towards Ye Qiu.

In that instant, Ye Qiu used Shadow Escape to dodge again, disappearing directly into the shadows of the surrounding tree-men and forcibly shifting his position.

Meanwhile, in the dry well, an old man slowly floated up, supported by tree branches.

The moment Ye Qiu saw the old man, his pupils contracted.

This person...

He appears to be one of the two elderly men who appeared at the entrance of the ancestral hall earlier!

In other words, one of the two pillars of this village, no, both pillars, have become the bodies of parasitic demons.

"I didn't intend to deal with you! You're just a student; you must only be a mid-level mage, right?"

"Why didn't you just leave quietly? You had to pick a fight with me!!"

"Perfect timing! I'm just one piece away from advancing to the Commander level! You'll be the one I need!!"

The next moment, the old man suddenly laughed eerily.

Gradually, the old man's smile became more and more exaggerated, his mouth stretched endlessly, and tree trunks kept pouring out of his mouth, which was particularly eerie.

At the same time, his body also underwent changes, and his body, covered with black patterns, began to extend continuously.

His feet transformed into countless tree roots, which took root in the spot.

The skin peeled off little by little, revealing the color of tree bark underneath.

The next moment, countless tree branches suddenly burst forth.

"Rip!!!"

The skin on the person was torn apart by the tree trunk as if it were paper.

A giant tree covered in spores suddenly appeared on the spot.

At the same time, the aura emanating from this giant tree demon also revealed its true strength.

Warrior-level advancement stage!!

Only one step away from becoming a commander-in-chief!

Upon seeing this, Ye Qiu suddenly realized what was happening.

No wonder this parasitic demon, knowing that so many magicians have appeared here, still stubbornly stayed.
