Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

"We need a vanguard squad now. This vanguard squad will break away from the main force and travel ahead of it. Originally, this vanguard squad was supposed to be composed of a few of us instructors, but as you can see from the situation, it will probably have to be made up of most of the students," Xue Musheng said seriously, pointing to the back mountain.

The students who were summoned looked towards the back mountain and saw dozens of one-eyed demon wolves hunting and chasing each other wantonly.

Xue Musheng continued, "Nearly two thousand students from our school are following the path taken by the vanguard team. Among all the students in the school, you are the strongest, almost as strong as any of the instructors. I hope you can form a team to lead everyone into the safety barrier. I will lead this vanguard team."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chen, with his arms around the resentful Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou, exclaimed, "Mentor! The three of us will join!"

"No? You didn't even ask what we thought?!" Mo Fan said.

"Oh, so are you joining or not?"

"Of course I'll join!"

"Then what did you say?! Isn't that a pointless question?!"

"you……"

……

It was too noisy here, affecting Zhang Chen's judgment, so he didn't want to follow the main group. Besides, the seeds—oh no, now the saplings—had grown a bit more, and he was confident he could escape with a small group.

Xue Musheng's eyes lit up. He didn't expect someone to agree so quickly, and one of them was Mo Fan, a violent damage dealer with both lightning and fire elements. He had seen Mo Fan and Yu Ang fight. Mo Fan's casting speed far surpassed Yu Ang's. He wondered where the three of them had gone for their final year of study.

The three of them came up with all sorts of excuses for asking for leave, but they dared not say that they were going to the countryside, partly because their parents were worried and partly because the school wouldn't allow it.

Almost immediately after, Zhou Min also spoke up: "I'll join too!"

Next was Xu Zhaoting

……

The vanguard team consists of eleven members, led by Xue Musheng.

Passing through the school gate, the streets were almost deserted, with only scattered garbage, goods, and open shops that were left unattended.

As soon as the red alert was activated, citizens either hid in their houses waiting for rescue or desperately ran towards the safety perimeter... In short, it was complete chaos, which is why the school staff did not evacuate immediately.

The vanguard team, leading the way, soon spotted a group of somewhat intelligent ordinary residents who wanted to get help from the students and instructors of Tianlan Magic High School to reach the safety barrier. The large group of people continued to emerge from the building to join them.

They never imagined that Tianlan Magic High School was full of magic apprentices who were not yet eighteen years old. Under such circumstances, it was already remarkable that they could protect themselves. Protecting the public was really far-fetched.

"Let's go! The main force has at least doubled in size now, and our burden is even heavier!" Xue Musheng said.

Everyone nodded and continued on their way.

Two wind-element mages, Zhang Xiaohou and Zhang Yinglu, were in charge of scouting ahead, while the others followed closely behind.

Xue Musheng was clearly a military instructor with experience in personnel deployment and formation maintenance, so he wouldn't be at a loss when faced with a situation.

The eleven people moved at a relatively fast pace, crossing the main street in front of the school gate in a straight line, and then passing through a pedestrian street and an apartment building with elevators before they could see the safety barrier.

The main street was filled with abandoned cars, completely blocking traffic and bringing it to a standstill. People could only move forward on foot.

"There's a giant-eyed gorilla at the newsstand up ahead, it's..." Zhang Yinglu said, her face pale and panting.

Continuing forward, the blood-stained newsstand came into view, but the giant-eyed gorilla was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Chen and his two companions immediately looked around warily.

"Where's the giant-eyed gorilla?" Xue Musheng frowned.

"It clearly..."

Zhang Yinglu had barely uttered a few words when a figure covered in fangs rushed out from the side, baring its two front teeth and lunging at Zhang Yinglu.

Vines and Restraint

Zhang Chen had been on high alert for a long time; how could he let it succeed?

Fire burns bones

Mo Fan immediately followed up with two more fireballs, and still cautiously said, "The demon-seeking powder has drifted in different directions!"

At the same time, Zhang Xiaohou used Wind Track Flash Step to bring Zhang Yinglu to a safe location.

The three of them weren't just wandering around aimlessly when hunting demons in the wild; the demon-finding powder was a major aid in their demon-finding efforts.

"Left!" someone shouted.

Zhang Chen turned his head and immediately spotted a giant-eyed gorilla hiding behind the notice board.

Vines and Whips

It struck the giant-eyed gorilla's head with pinpoint accuracy, instantly splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

Seeing the three incredibly experienced individuals, Xue Musheng couldn't help but ask with great curiosity, "Where did you three go for further studies in your senior year of high school? How did you deal with demons...?"

But realizing it wasn't the right time to talk about that, he immediately changed his mind: "Zhang Chen, you three know so much about demons, so you three will lead the team, and He Yu and I will be responsible for protecting you..."

Everyone was very curious about Zhang Chen and his two companions, especially Mu Bai.

"Has the gap between me and you become that big already?..."

Zhang Chen didn't mince words and said, "You'd better not leave my vicinity of ten meters. Within this range, I can still save you in time. If you're further away and encounter an emergency, I might not be able to save you as quickly."

"Little monkey, you can explore within your capabilities, but proceed with caution."

"And try to talk as little as possible!"

The group continued forward and soon traversed the main street, which stretched for a kilometer, without encountering any more demons.

When they saw other people along the way, they would remind them that they would catch up with the approaching main group and tell them to hide first.

As they entered through the side gate of Mingyuan Community, a pool came into view, on which floated two half-eaten corpses, turning the water blood red.

Just then, Zhang Xiaohou, who had been scouting ahead, returned: "There are more than five giant-eyed gorillas ahead!"

"Alright, Mo Fan, get your lightning and fire ready! Let's attack!" Zhang Chen said.

At this moment, Xue Musheng hesitated: "Wouldn't this be too dangerous?"

"Don't be afraid, mentor. We spent a year living in the wild during our senior year of high school. We were either hunting monsters or on our way to hunt monsters," Zhang Chen said confidently.

"Out in the wild! You guys are incredibly reckless! Who approved your leave slips... No wonder you're so experienced!"

Xue Musheng found it utterly absurd.

The three of them were incredibly audacious.

The others also looked at them as if they were monsters.

However, Zhang Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Get ready, they're coming."

The little monkey went to lure the monster when Zhang Chen said he was going to fight it.

Rumble~ Rumble

The little monkey was followed by about five giant-eyed gorillas, and more giant-eyed gorillas joined in from time to time in the building. By the time they reached Zhang Chen and his group, they had formed a small swarm of about twelve or thirteen rats.

Zhang Chen's body was enveloped in a rapidly swirling green light, directly drawing away most of the magical energy from the plant-based stardust.

Vines and Growth

Vines and Growth

Vines and Restraint

……

The vines, like a giant net, held the giant-eyed ape rats together, but there were clearly too many of them, and the vines began to break apart one by one.

However, the desired effect has already been achieved.

Lightning crackled around Mo Fan's hand

Lightning Seal - Wrathful Strike

……

These giant-eyed gorillas were clearly just low-level servants; after being controlled together, they emitted a strong aroma of roasted meat before even taking a few hits.
