I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 23 Spending the Night in the Wild

…………

It was nearly evening when Jiang Shang and his group emerged from the anthill.

The glow of the sunset draped over them like a magnificent cloak, bestowing upon these people who had just fought against demons a glorious honor.

"Let's set up camp up ahead today, it's a pretty good spot!" Zhou Yi said.

"it is good"

……

The place mentioned on Monday was a cliff face along Jiang Shang's patrol route. It was surrounded by cliffs on all four sides, with only one side facing the enemy. Assuming there were no demons with climbing abilities, it was the most suitable place to camp. They had camped there before when they patrolled.

When night fell, everyone sat around the campfire, and they had already sprinkled demon-repelling powder near the tents.

A pot of meat soup simmered over a campfire; the meat inside was what Jiang Shang and his companions had obtained that afternoon after slaying a sheep demon together.

While one should try to find food that doesn't easily spread its smell when eating outdoors, or simply eat compressed biscuits, the demons in the vicinity have already been wiped out by the military mages.

So there aren't that many taboos.

Before setting off, Jiang Shang prepared many things, including seasonings. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to prepare food on the way. They were only given military-grade compressed biscuits and similar items.

This sheep demon was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire. Since none of them had eaten dinner, everyone's eyes lit up when Jiang Shang suggested roast lamb!

It turns out that people can do anything when they're hungry, especially after eating nothing but compressed biscuits for several days!

These people, whose mouths were practically blistered from eating compressed biscuits these past few days, could only think of roasted lamb legs and whole roasted lambs when they saw that sheep demon!

The scene was too gruesome when they actually did it!

In the end, half of the sheep's bones were broken, and half of its big horn was also broken off!

After returning to the campsite for the night, Jiang Shang rummaged through the bag he had been carrying and found several packets of seasoning and a knife that he had specially bought and put in the bag before setting off!

Although he hadn't cooked much, the military mages around him did! They would cook a few meals when they had the chance in the wild, and after doing it many times, they became quite skilled.

After handing the sheep over to them, Jiang Shang, along with Lao Bi and several students, went to fetch water nearby.

When they returned, they saw that Zhu Zhou and the others had already cleaned the whole sheep and burned off all the wool!

Therefore, fire can not only kill demons, but also become an essential helper at home!

Zhu Zhou and his team first lit a fire on the cleared ground, then directed the students to break off suitable branches from the trees to make a simple barbecue grill.

After cleaning the whole sheep, place it on the roasting rack and then use an iron pot to cook the mutton soup!

The mutton soup is made from the two legs (front and hind) and the rib meat from the chest cavity of this sheep.

Because of the limited resources, they simply put the meat and bones into a pot together, added seasonings, and stewed them. They also added some wild vegetables that Lao Bi had picked from who-knows-where.

Even so, after finishing the roasted lamb and the lamb soup, the group almost shed tears of emotion...

After cleaning up their trash, Jiang Shang and his group set up tents on the spot.

There are also some important points to consider when setting up a tent. The opening should face the wind from the side to prevent the smell from being carried away, and it should also be stable!

Jiang Shang also mastered this skill with the patient help of a military strategist.

"What is the order of duty for tonight's night watch?" Jiang Shang asked the military strategist.

"Let's divide it into three time slots: 9 PM to 12 AM, 12 AM to 4 AM, and 4 AM to 7 AM. Each time, one of our military mages and two students will take the night watch. That way, if someone on watch accidentally falls asleep, at least someone can wake them up," Zhou Yi said.

Zhu Zhou agreed and nodded.

"How about this, I'll stay with Zhou Yuan and the others from 9 to 12 o'clock," Jiang Shang said.

"Alright, you've always been on guard duty late at night before, so it doesn't matter how you do it now. Let them experience what it's like to be on guard duty late at night."

Upon hearing Jiang Shang's words, Zhu Zhou seemed to realize something, smiled, and immediately agreed.

"Sure, sure, I'm fine with it!" Zhou Yuan said from the side.

"but"

"Now there's a more serious problem..."

Zhu Zhou suddenly fell into a deep thought.

Jiang Shang and Lao Bi immediately moved closer, their faces showing inquiry and their eyes becoming serious.

"There's a water source nearby, shouldn't we go and wash ourselves?"

Jiang Shang and the others were stunned for a moment, then their eyes sharpened!

"I definitely need to wash up. I've been hiking through mountains and valleys these past few days and I feel sticky and smelly!" Jiang Shang analyzed.

"However, we need to think about how to handle the situation since there are female students in our team."

"That's easy. Let's scout out the area around the water source first, and then let the girls wash up first."

"That works, let's do it that way."

After finalizing the plan, Jiang Shang and his team split into two groups. One group continued setting up the unfinished tents and cleaning up the leftover food. The other group went to investigate the water source.

Jiang Shang was also assigned to the team that went to investigate the water source. After all, his level 3 Thunder Seal was the most powerful skill in the entire team, which could not only paralyze demons but also deal unparalleled damage!

Following the route taken to subdue the sheep demon, Jiang Shang and his companions arrived at the place where they had fetched water during their meal.

Upon arrival, they split into three groups of three and explored in three directions other than the direction they had come from.

Jiang Shang's task was to explore downstream for 100 meters, and he was paired with Leng Ci and Bao Benyi, who were both in special physical training.

After all, besides the two military mages left for the camp, there were only three left. Those who came along were a wind mage, a fire mage, and a water mage.

Jiang Shang, being a level three lightning-type character, obviously took on the heavy responsibility of leading a group on his own.

Jiang Shang and his group proceeded along the river cautiously, carefully checking the river area as they feared that some demons might be lurking within.

"There's nothing here either, we can head back now," Jiang Shang said to the other two after checking that the distance was more than 150 meters from where they had separated.

During the inspection, Jiang Shang, a master of demon hunting, used every skill imaginable, including footprint identification. He did make a discovery, but after careful examination, he determined it to be a Gale Wolf that had visited the river several days prior.

And since no more recent footprints were found, they gave up.

However, to Jiang Shang's amusement and exasperation, when they discovered the footprints, Bao Ben and the others were so frightened that they almost used all their magic, fearing that a demonic wolf was watching them from some corner.

He had no choice but to quickly tell them that the demon wolves had probably all been dealt with by the military mages, otherwise the scene would have been unbearable to watch.

When they arrived at the water source, the other two teams were already waiting there. They exchanged information and then returned to the camp.

With this change to Full-Time Magister, the synopsis has become a bootleg version, ugh...
