I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 18, Gale Wolf

……

Ten days later

Beneath the lush forest, along the winding mountain path, a group of 15 people dressed as military shamans of Canglei Mountain traversed a thicket.

After the physical training concluded, Zhang Dingtian organized and began field patrol training.

He assigned patrol routes to each squad.

Jiang Shang and his team were assigned the patrol route on the east side of Canglei Mountain.

According to Zhu Zhou, the eastern side of Canglei Mountain is mostly covered by forest, and there are cliffs near the mountain.

After the distribution, Jiang Shang and his group put on their prepared training supplies and set off.

Ten days have passed since then!

For ten days, they braved thorns and brambles, working day and night, traversing mountains and jungles, enduring untold hardships.

"This damn place is all mountains and forests. It's so tiring. Let's rest for a while!" Bao Benyi plopped down on the ground, panting, and fanned himself with his hat.

"Alright, we've already visited two locations, it's time to rest," Jiang Shang said.

After saying that, he took the lead and sat down on the exposed rocks nearby, picked up his water bottle and started drinking.

After days of hiking and trekking, everyone looked like cavemen, covered in dust and sweat!

Jiang Shang's group consisted of 15 people, configured as 10 students and 5 military mages.

These military mages were mostly novice, fully-trained mages, since this training exercise was being conducted in a safe zone after a sweep.

"After we cross the small river ahead, we should be close to the anthill the instructor mentioned," Leng Ci said, holding the map.

The anthill was the patrol endpoint set by Lieutenant Zhang Dingtian for Jiang Shang and his team. They had already patrolled the cliffs, riverbanks, and other areas, and there were basically no more demons to be found. They had all been cleared away by the military mages who had gone ahead of Jiang Shang and his team.

The anthill should be similar; that's what they're going to confirm!

Suddenly, a military mage returned and whispered to Zhu Zhou, "We encountered a Gale Wolf drinking water in the river ahead!"

Upon hearing the military strategist's words, Jiang Shang and his men all tensed up.

This was the first time they had ever seen a demon!

Next, everyone slowed down and slowly made their way through the forest towards the river.

Soon they came to see a river.

The river is not wide, only about two meters, and there are reefs in the river.

A babbling river flows through the woods, shimmering in the sunlight.

However, there is an incongruous presence in this beautiful scene—a wounded Gale Wolf.

The main defenses of Canglei Mountain Station are against Blood Red Ants and Gale Wolves.

The Gale Wolf is a wolf-like demon with entirely blue fur. Unlike the One-Eyed Wolf, the Gale Wolf not only has two eyes but is also a wind-attribute demon! The name "Gale" describes its explosive speed, comparable to a swift gale, and it can also unleash a wind blade from its mouth to strike its opponents. It can be considered one of the most troublesome demons among the servant-level demons.

Moreover, these demons have the same habits as normal wolf demons. If you see one Gale Wolf, there is definitely another pack waiting in the shadows for the opportunity to hunt.

However, the Gale Wolf in front of them looked badly injured. One of its legs was covered with burn marks from the flames, and its back was covered with charred marks. Its blue fur was also all curled up.

While Jiang Shang and his rookies were still in a daze, the experienced military strategists decisively took the initiative!

On Monday, a streak of earthen yellow starlight flashed behind him and another military mage.

Earth Waves and Collapse

Earth wave slow

Two earth-based spells were cast first, with Trapping immediately immobilizing the Gale Wolf. Slow followed closely, softening the surrounding land to prevent the Gale Wolf from bursting free!

Beside him, the water mage held the Star Orbit in his hand, in case the Gale Wolf broke free and attacked, or any other sudden dangers that might appear nearby.

The wind mage was not to be outdone, laying wind tracks on the ground to help teammates quickly relocate when needed!

As the Gale Wolf realized it was unable to break free of control and prepared to use its innate demonic skill, condensing azure light in its mouth, the fire mage Zhu Zhou, who had been waiting nearby, flashed to the front of the group, his crimson star trails shining brightly around him.

A crimson star trail flashed, and then, fire erupted!

In an instant, a ball of crimson fire streaked across the sky, leaving a scorching trail, and landed on the trapped Gale Wolf. Then, a small ball of flame suddenly exploded in that spot!

"Boom!!"

A blazing fireball exploded, and a powerful wave of fire spread dramatically outwards from the spot where the fireball had landed.

crimson!!

The area within a three-meter radius was completely engulfed in crimson, and the exploding flames slammed into the Gale Wolf.

The severely injured Gale Wolf was blasted to pieces by the fire, and its breathing became increasingly labored at a visible speed.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute, and the already severely injured Gale Wolf was about to become a corpse in the blink of an eye.

After doing all that, the wind mage cautiously approached to check on the condition of the Gale Wolf.

Not long after, the wind mage waved to Jiang Shang and the others behind him, indicating that the demon was dead.

Only then did the group breathe a sigh of relief.

The girls in the group stared at the five powerful military mages in front of them.

So cool!!

In less than a minute, he used five spells to defeat the demon.

Zhu Zhou gestured to the wind mage, signaling him to scout the surroundings to see if there were any other Gale Wolves.

The wind mage nodded and began to survey the surroundings.

Jiang Shang and the others followed the remaining military mages to the corpse of the Gale Wolf.

Looking at the Gale Wolf whose limbs were embedded in the ground and which had been splattered to death by a fire attack in Zhuzhou, he was filled with emotion.

Fire is just so violent! Look at all this blood and flesh flying everywhere, it's all been blasted away!

If you get close enough, you can even smell the aroma of roasting meat in the air.

"Zhou Yi, come and take a look. Doesn't this demon's wound look like a fire splatter?" After a careful examination, Zhu Zhou called Zhou Yi over to discuss the matter.

Jiang Shang suddenly wondered if this demon would explode with its essence after it died!

On second thought, even if the essence were to burst forth, I wouldn't be able to see it myself.

The essence of a demon is created at the moment of its death, when its soul leaves its body. This departed soul is essentially the spirit of a dead being. If, after death, the demon's soul remains within its body for a period and emits a special spiritual light, then this post-mortem soul is dozens of times more refined than an ordinary soul and is called a spirit essence. This spirit essence is the most important material for forging Stardust Demonic Artifacts.

Only necromancers or those wearing vessels capable of collecting such essences can see and collect them. Without a vessel like Mo Fan's, one cannot see them, and even if one did, it would only drift away with the wind.

Thinking about this, Jiang Shang felt that he had lost tens of thousands of yuan.
