Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

……

All three were talented young men capable of casting mid-level magic, brimming with energy and drive. After confirming the mission details and plans, they set off immediately.

After arriving at the village of Dazi by car and taking a short break, we headed out into the countryside at nine o'clock in the morning sun without hesitation.

Not long after they left, Mu Bai took out a bracelet and put it on, from which gusts of wind continuously emanated.

The wind wasn't strong; it was a gentle breeze that caressed their faces, but mostly gathered at their feet.

As they walked, the three of them clearly felt that they were expending less energy.

"This is a speed-boosting magic device that can release a gust of wind to surround us, helping us break through air resistance and indirectly making our journey easier," Mu Bai explained.

"Great job, as expected of Young Master Mu." Zhou Sining gave a thumbs up.

"They're just small trinkets. You know, I'm in the business of dealing with magicians." Mu Bai smiled. "I organized this mission. I'm not very strong, so I can only get some magical artifacts and potions."

"That's still impressive. Everyone has their own expertise. Someone like me who spends all day on the outer city walls would hardly have that awareness," Zhou Sining said.

That's true; he really didn't bother to find out what preparations were needed for past wilderness training.

Moreover, Zhou Sining believed that Mu Bai would prepare everything before going out with him.

Look, we've already put it to use right from the start.

As a mid-level mage, my physical abilities are already far superior to those of ordinary people. Now, with the aid of magical artifacts, my speed of progress is very fast.

The 40-kilometer journey was completed by around dusk.

The three of them could see the dilapidated mud houses at a glance, and a few fields overgrown with weeds could be vaguely seen near the houses.

It's clear that no humans have been active here for a long time.

The village is fairly flat and spacious, and just a few meters further out lies a lush green forest.

The sky was already a grayish-blue. Fortunately, this was on the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains, where there were no undead to bother us. Otherwise, the ground would be covered with disgusting corpses and skeletons by now.

"Let's stop here for today and continue the survey tomorrow." Mu Bai walked in front.

Before it got completely dark, they had to hurry and set up camp.

Although this place belongs to the Ya'an region, and there are occasional teams of mages patrolling here, no one can guarantee that they will be lucky enough to never encounter any demons.

The dilapidated houses are arranged in a triangle, with the middle being higher and the two sides lower.

The largest earthen house is the one in the very middle. In front of it is a fairly spacious, flat piece of land, with weeds just taller than the calves.

"Sizzle!"

Zhou Sining focused his mind slightly, and a thin layer of white flame, no higher than the sole of his shoe, quickly spread outward from his feet.

The weeds and insects in its path were all burned to charcoal.

Seeing that enough space had been cleared, Zhou Sining withdrew his flames.

"Ice Vines Cover".

"Crunch, crunch, crunch~~~!"

Mu Bai's connection to the star trail was also very fast. He squatted down and stretched out his right hand to touch the ground. A thin, transparent layer of ice spread rapidly in all directions from the three of them as the center.

The chill instantly overwhelmed the power of the flames, and in a flash, a layer of frost covered Jiang Shaoxu's body.

"broken!"

With a forceful pull, the ice that had just covered the ground cracked and shattered into pieces, leaving behind a mess of broken ice.

"Jiang Shaoxu, it's getting dark. Aren't you from the Light faction?"

Zhou Sining patted the girl next to him; he could no longer see anything more than three meters away.

"I'm not a third wheel."

Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at him, but still honestly pinched up a ball of golden light.

This light was much weaker than normal light, but its purpose was only to provide illumination; too much light would easily attract unwanted guests.

While Mu Bai and Zhou Sining were setting up the tent, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, your flame... is it a spirit seed?"

Zhou Sining gave a wicked smile: "You're envious? Envy is useless, you can't afford it."

"..."

Jiang Shaoxu swallowed the curse.

Coming from a prominent family, she naturally knew that Zhou Sining's spiritual seed was no ordinary thing.

She had been quite curious, but after hearing what Zhou Sining said, she completely lost the desire to continue the conversation.

"Everyone, get ready and rest. Let's try to finish the surveying task tomorrow. I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and Zhou Sining will keep watch for the second half," Mu Bai said.

Zhou Sining and Jiang Shaoxu had no objections; after washing up, they went into their respective tents.

Two tents were pitched facing each other, with a campfire in the middle and a small lounge chair next to the campfire. The sounds of insects chirping in different timbres and frequencies filled the air.

Occasionally, mage teams patrol the Ya'an border area to clear out demons, making it much safer than the actual wilderness.

Mu Bai sat there listlessly, occasionally standing up to look around. His initial unease had largely dissipated with the passage of time.

In the early hours of the morning, he stood up again to stretch his body, his gaze falling on the dilapidated mud house a few steps away.

The roof was completely rotten, and the wooden door was covered in dust, with one half hanging loosely on the wall and the other half lying directly on the ground.

As the moonlight fell, the living room, overgrown with weeds, could be barely seen, with faint blue lights flickering among the grass.

Mu Bai walked in with a puzzled look. Just as he stepped onto the steps at the door, he suddenly stepped on something crisp and crunchy.

He stepped aside the small patch of weeds, examined it carefully for a while, and discovered that it was a pile of fragmented, irregular white stone shards.

Mu Bai frowned, then parted the nearby weeds and discovered that the steps were covered with these white pebbles.

His gaze fell on a certain spot, and he bent down to pick up the large white stone.

The stone felt unexpectedly light; it was spherical in shape, and as he moved, the white stone in his hand was flipped over.

Without warning, he met the gaze of those empty eye sockets.

Mu Bai's breath hitched. He looked up abruptly and suddenly noticed pairs of dark blue lights in the dark living room.

At first, there were only a few pairs of dark blue dots, but after a few seconds, these dark blue dots had already dotted the darkness in front of us, densely packed, making our hair stand on end!

"Aaaaaah!"

The silent night sky was suddenly filled with a piercing scream, followed by a bone thrown from the darkness!

"Scale Shield!"

Upon seeing those greedy blue eyes, Mu Bai summoned his shield magic tool entirely on his survival instinct.

A beam of cyan light appeared in front of him, quickly solidifying into fish scales that eventually formed an arc-shaped shield that completely protected him!

"Bang!"

A dull thud came from the shield, and Mu Bai's hand holding the shield was suddenly numb from the impact.

What incredible strength!

Mu Bai's face immediately turned ugly. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise his head would probably have exploded by now!

While the scale shield was still active, he turned and ran back to the tent, quickly waking up Zhou Sining and Jiang Shaoxu.

At the same time, pairs of greedy blue eyes emerged from the house, gradually forming a circle that surrounded them!
