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

Chapter 56 Fire Calamity

Although Mo Fan and the other person were speaking very softly, Zhang Chen, with his constitution, could naturally hear them and shook his head with a smile.

Mu Nujiao asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, my Jiaojiao is still the best." Zhang Chen smiled and ruffled Mu Nujiao's hair, saying, "What are you doing?" Mu Nujiao blushed and lightly punched Zhang Chen with her fist. "Um, excuse me for interrupting, Zhang Chen, isn't it draining your mana by constantly casting mind magic like this?"

As Zhao Manyan watched the shore recede into the distance, he suddenly wondered what would happen if he didn't have enough magic power. Looking at the two people flirting in such a dangerous place, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Don't be afraid! The demon soldiers in this Sand River are not actually that dense. It's just that when someone steps into this area, they will gather from all directions. I have already calmed down the few patches of white sand demon soldiers. They will not attack us again. We can use them again when we walk a long distance further and step into the territory of other white sand demon soldiers."

Then, feigning some concern, he said, "But I don't know exactly how long this Sand River is, and I'm not sure if the magic power can sustain us until we cross it safely."

"Damn! I suddenly want to go back." Zhao Manyan said timidly. "Alright then, you go back by yourself." Lingling said. Zhao Manyan looked back and could no longer see the shore. He remembered the scene of so many white sand demon soldiers appearing just now.

He coughed lightly twice, pretending to be calm, and said, "As the only defensive mage in the team, how could I bear to abandon you all?"

"I bet you're too scared to go back!" Lingling exposed him. "Where did this little brat come from—"

"Your mother is the Hunter Master! ————"

As they continued forward, Zhao Manyan noticed that Zhang Chen was using mind-based magic more and more frequently, indicating that the unyielding creatures hidden in the Sand River were becoming increasingly irritable. Zhao Manyan began to worry about whether Zhang Chen had sufficient magical energy in his mind.

Seeing Zhao Manyan's worried expression, Zhang Chen suppressed a smile and asked Lingling with a somewhat serious expression, "How much further ahead is it?"

This question made everyone's hearts jump. Lingling opened the electronic map, shook her head slightly and said, "We've taken a slightly off-track route. It's not a cross-country route. We estimate there are still about three or four kilometers to go."

Zhao Manyan immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there not enough magic power?"

Zhang Chen nodded with a serious expression and said, "My magic power can hold out for a while longer! We might have to break through soon."

Zhao Manyan, Xiaohou, and Chenying immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

This is terrible! The Sand River is practically a giant river of ten thousand demons! Without the soothing power of the mind, it's impossible to fight against those countless white sand giants.

Now it's impossible for anyone to retreat; we're at least ten kilometers away from the original shore.

Having no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward, Mo Fan noticed that Zhang Chen had only taken some of the magic-restoring potions given to him by Zhao Manyan, and hadn't taken the ones he had brought. He knew that Zhang Chen was trying to scare Zhao Manyan.

Judging from Lingling's relaxed expression, she must know.

Seeing that Mu Ningxue beside him also looked nervous, he didn't expose him. Instead, he took the opportunity to get closer to Mu Ningxue.

He shamelessly took her hand, offering her some comfort and a sense of security.

Mu Ningxue didn't shake him off, and he was overjoyed inwardly, thinking, "Good brother! Good wingman!"

Zhao Manyan was on tenterhooks the whole way, and only after they had left the Sand River did he ask Zhang Chen, "Didn't you say your magical energy would be gone soon?"

"Oops, I miscalculated, what a mistake! We're out of stock this time." Zhang Chen grinned slyly. Zhao Manyan immediately realized what he meant and started cursing.

Suddenly, Zhang Chen felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He turned around and saw Mu Nujiao looking angry.

Zhang Chen smiled sheepishly and put his arms around her, saying, "I was wrong, Jiaojiao, I shouldn't have worried you."

Mu Nujiao inhaled Zhang Chen's unique scent, and had no heart to blame him. She only scolded him, "Remember to tell me in advance next time."

"Um."

Zhao Manyan suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come. The two couples in front of and behind him were practically showering him with affection. He then resolved to find ten female seniors to comfort his wounded heart when he got back.

He looked up and suddenly saw that it looked like it was on fire in front of him, and it was burning very high.

He asked, "What's going on up ahead?"

Everyone looked over and saw the flames burning very high.

But why do these flames seem to be expanding? At first, they looked like just a cluster of fires in the distance, but now they appear as a vast, continuous mountain range!

Zhang Chen blurted out a curse: "Damn it! Run! It's burning this way!"

The flames were like mountains and seas. At first, they were on the distant horizon, so they looked like just a cluster of firelight like waves. But when they swallowed the horizon and rushed toward them with overwhelming force, they suddenly realized how terrifying the fire was!

Zhao Manyan remembered that Zhang Chen had just said that his mind-based magic power was exhausted, and that they had just come out of the Sand River and were now facing this mountain-like and sea-like giant wave of fire.

He asked in despair, "Where are we going?"

"Nonsense! Of course we're going into the Sand River!" Zhang Chen's voice came from behind him.

Zhao Manyan turned his head and saw Zhang Chen releasing a mental soothing spell. He immediately cursed, "Zhang Chen, didn't you say you didn't have any mental magic?! You son of a bitch, I'll really swear at you—"

Immediately following the crowd, "thump thump thump thump—"

As soon as they stepped into the Sha Wang River, Zhang Chen turned his head and heard the sound of rushing water coming from the ground.

Amidst the swirling sand, one could vaguely make out figures as strong as oxen. Their heads, limbs, and even some joints were covered with an incredibly hard layer of armor. The armor was reddish-brown in color, suggesting it had been frequently tempered by flames.

It turned out to be a large group of warrior-level armored beasts. Seeing them rushing towards them, Zhang Chen decisively led everyone to escape deeper into the area.

After escaping into the depths of the Sand River, the calamity of flames between the horizon and the sky gradually showed signs of dissipating. However, it was certain that the shocking flames must have covered the already scorched land. The only place that was not greatly affected was probably the Sand River.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh————"

The scorching air swept over from not far away, making everyone feel hot and bothered.

Having escaped the most direct and terrifying flames, the remaining hot air alone was still somewhat overwhelming.

At this moment, the area in the direction of the north corner of Zhuoyuan was ablaze with red, looking like a fiery kingdom, with the bright red and scorching heat transforming into a vast sea of ​​fire!
