Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 25 The Strange Giant Insect

A shed for raising cattle and sheep.

Li Xingze looked at the bloodstains on the ground. The bloodstains were almost completely dry, but the dark red bloodstains could still be seen.

Besides the bloodstains, the animal hair everywhere indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.

The fur was still attached to flesh and blood, clearly indicating that these animals had been unilaterally tortured and killed.

"Strange, if it were some powerful demon, the scene wouldn't be this chaotic," Lingling said, stroking her delicate chin.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingze suddenly had a flash of inspiration. That's right, apart from the giant-eyed blood rat, most demons could directly subdue these livestock.

These livestock wouldn't even think of resisting; they would only flee in panic.

But the surrounding fences are perfectly intact, which is contradictory!

"How is it? Did you find anything?" The farmer looked at Li Xingze anxiously.

Compared to Lingling, who was too young, the farmer naturally trusted Li Xingze, who was at least an adult.

"It is indeed the work of demons, but I suspect there is more than one," Li Xingze said.

"More than one!" the farmer and Lingling exclaimed at the same time.

The farmer screamed because he was frightened, while Lingling was amazed by Li Xingze's observation skills.

If there was more than one demon, then the scene could be explained.

This guy doesn't seem to be a hunter novice after all. Lingling's opinion of Li Xingze changed slightly.

"What should we do? This is the culmination of my life's work; I can't let demons ruin it." The farmer was somewhat anxious.

This little girl is too young to be a mage, which means that only this young man is a mage.

Can he really handle this alone?

"Don't worry, if this demon were really powerful, it wouldn't be hiding like this," Li Xingze continued.

Hearing this, Lingling suddenly realized something and said to Li Xingze, "They're being so cautious, could it be because they're injured?"

"Possibly," Li Xingze nodded, "but this shows that this demon is quite intelligent."

"What we need to do now is figure out how to draw them out."

"Lure it out?" The farmer looked at Li Xingze in shock. This young man was truly skilled and daring, showing no fear of demons whatsoever.

I don't know if they're truly capable, or if they're all show and no substance.

I hope it's the former.

night.

Li Xingze and Lingling hid in a secluded spot, and Lingling peeked out to look at the livestock.

"Do you really think these things can bring the culprit to light?"

"If this demon is truly injured, it certainly won't let go of the food that's already within its grasp."

Li Xingze leaned against the haystack with his hands behind his head, showing no sign of urgency.

As for the farmer, it's already good enough that he's willing to give up these livestock; let's forget about sending him to face the demons.

Professional things to professional people.

Seeing Li Xingze's indifferent demeanor, Lingling felt a strange sense of displeasure, even though she was the senior!

This guy not only has a powerful wyvern, but also a lot of hunter experience. Is he really from a prestigious family?

"They're here!"

Hearing the soft call, Lingling slowly snapped out of her thoughts.

Following the direction Li Xingze was staring at, all was darkness, with only a few specks of moonlight. Lingling did not see any demons.

"No way."

Just as Lingling was about to retort, she discovered that Li Xingze had already rushed out, heading straight for the shed at an incredibly fast speed.

It was like teleportation.

"Yang Lei—Lei Yin—Meng Hen!"

A golden bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the darkness, instantly piercing through the hard wooden wall. The intense golden light made Lingling feel dizzy.

"Is this really the Thunder Seal?"

Although Lingling wasn't a mage, she had seen quite a few mages, but she had never seen such a terrifying level one lightning seal before.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was struck by lightning.

But what's the point of this guy attacking the railing?

Lingling ran towards Li Xingze with doubts in her heart. She had a protective magic artifact on her body, so she was not worried about being attacked by demons.

Lingling walked to Li Xingze's side, at which point Li Xingze picked up a dark, shiny object from the ground.

"What is this?"

Lingling showed no fear or apprehension; instead, she looked with great curiosity at the strange insect, about two centimeters long, in Li Xingze's hand.

It is somewhat similar in shape to a facehugger and has a tail that is longer than its body. Although it was struck by lightning and was in a terrible state, you can still see that its body is dark black.

Despite enduring such a terrifying lightning strike, its back shell remained intact; had its head not been electrocuted, it probably wouldn't have died.

Seeing Lingling looking at the insect with great interest, Li Xingze gave her a strange look and said, "This thing is disgusting, stop looking at it."

"Don't move!" Lingling immediately restrained Li Xingze. "I've never seen a demon like this before. Let me study it."

Li Xingze was speechless. Lingling was really obsessed with hunting demons to an incomprehensible degree.

He felt a little uncomfortable watching her, while Lingling was unusually excited. No wonder she became a master hunter!

"Stop looking, let's find their lair first."

Upon seeing the strange insect, Li Xingze immediately realized that there must be a large number of these insects, and there might even be a "leader".

"Do you have a solution?" Lingling asked.

Li Xingze didn't respond, but instead proved it with his actions.

"Dimensional Summoning!"

As soon as the Golden Flame Dragon Lion appeared, the area around the two people instantly brightened up considerably, thanks to the golden flames on its body.

"This is Little Gold." Li Xingze first introduced it to Lingling, and then placed the strange insect in front of the Golden Flame Dragon Lion. "Smell it and see if you can find its lair."

"Hooray~"

The Golden Flame Dragon Lion roared twice in displeasure. It was a proud dragon lion, not a lowly puppy!

"I found it, here's a Bloodflame Fruit as a reward."

Upon hearing this, the once arrogant Golden Flame Dragon Lion immediately brought its nose close to the strange insect, sniffed it carefully, and then sped off towards the farmland.

Seeing the Golden Flame Dragon Lion's movements, Li Xingze smiled slightly, it seemed he had found it.

This little goldfish gets extremely excited whenever it hears about food.

"Is this your summoned beast?" Lingling looked at Li Xingze in astonishment, asking knowingly.

This monster is not only at the level of a warrior general, but most importantly, it has an extremely high bloodline!

Summoning is already extremely rare, let alone summoned beasts, which are also incredibly rare and powerful.

Normally, summoned beasts are only a transitional element for summoners.

No mage would spend a lot of time searching for summoned beasts. Even if they were lucky enough to find a summoned beast with extremely high bloodline, they would most likely fail to form a contract with it.

It's a thankless task.

"Let's go, let's finish the mission as soon as possible." Li Xingze appeared quite indifferent.

After saying that, he took Lingling's little hand and ran towards the direction of the Golden Flame Dragon Lion.
