Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 54 Lu Zhenghe loses an arm, is the responsibility on Li Xingze?

"With so many cave demon slaves, we've practically stumbled into a cave demon slave's lair," Zhao Manyan complained while defending.

Although the Golden Flame Dragon Lion was powerful, it could not defend against all the cave demon slaves from all directions. It could only hold off the front where the cave demon slaves were the most numerous, tearing open an opening for everyone.

At this crucial moment, Li Xingze still didn't want to reveal his contracted beast. Who knew if Lu Zhenghe would report his situation to Lu Nian?

Although Xiao Hei is strong, if Lu Nian finds a way to restrict Xiao Hei, then things will get really messed up.

As for the safety of these trainees, Li Xingze could only say that he had done his best. If they were injured as a result, it would only be due to their own lack of strength and experience.

Li Xingze used his Thunder Cleaver to decapitate two cave demon slaves in quick succession, then turned to the group and said, "We're almost at the exit, so don't fall behind."

Upon hearing this, everyone grasped at a straw and hurriedly followed behind Li Xingze, fearing they would miss their chance to escape.

Even Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao, who had previously hated Li Xingze, followed him around eagerly when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

The situation at Mingzhu Academy was relatively good, but the situation at Didu Academy was much worse, with both Lu Zhenghe and Xiao Feng sustaining significant injuries.

Especially Lu Zhenghe, because his contracted beast was still recovering from its injuries, and his main methods were almost entirely focused on the Ghostly Pattern Wolf.

Even with the magic tools, he still lost an arm when surrounded by the cave demon slaves.

Most importantly, his arm was left behind, which means Lu Zhenghe will be a one-armed hero from now on.

This filled Lu Zhenghe with resentment towards Li Xingze. If Li Xingze hadn't seriously injured his contracted beast, how could he have ended up in this situation?

"There's a light!" Xu Zhaoting exclaimed with delight upon seeing the faint light ahead.

Hearing this, the already exhausted group regained their fighting spirit and gritted their teeth to speed up.

After leaving the cave entrance, Li Xingze had the Golden Flame Dragon Lion block the entrance. Once outside, these cave demon slaves were no longer a threat.

Although Mu Nujiao wanted to block the cave entrance, Li Xingze stopped her, saying that so many cave demon slaves would be a good opportunity for him to gain some essence.

"Let's take a headcount and see if anyone has fallen behind," Song Xia said.

With Li Xingze's summoned beast present, the group managed to break through the encirclement of the cave demon slaves relatively smoothly. After all, the cave demon slaves were just servants and demons, and were completely vulnerable in front of a high-bloodline battle general like the Golden Flame Dragon Lion.

Let alone these cave demon slaves, even Lu Zhenghe's general-level Netherweave Wolf couldn't last more than a few rounds, no, it couldn't survive more than a few rounds.

"Forget about everyone else, get me treated first!" Lu Zhenghe cried out in pain, clutching his still-bleeding wound.

Bai Tingting glanced at Li Xingze first, and only went over to treat his injuries after he nodded.

"My arm is still inside, please help me get it out."

After receiving treatment, Lu Zhenghe started causing trouble again.

Even though the Parthenon Temple possesses the art of regeneration, not everyone can afford to hire them, especially since the art of regeneration requires at least the sage level.

If the arm is still intact, it can be easily reattached.

Zhao Manyan gave him a look of pity for a fool and said disdainfully, "You're dreaming. This cave is so dangerous, no one is willing to risk their life for you. Besides, your arm has probably already been cut off."

"Go by yourself if you want, or you can ask your good buddies."

After Zhao Manyan finished speaking, Xu Dalong, Ming Cong, and the others, who had previously gotten along fairly well with Lu Zhenghe, suddenly became distracted.

They would never want to go back to such a terrifying cave entrance, even if it killed them.

Lu Zhenghe suddenly pointed at Li Xingze and said, "With his strength, he can definitely break through easily."

Li Xingze raised an eyebrow. So this guy had been plotting against him all along.

At this point, how could those arms still be there, unless these cave demon slaves are vegetarians?

But is that possible? The skeletons in the tunnel prove they were carnivorous.

"I can certainly protect myself, but why should I help you?" Li Xingze looked at him strangely. "Although you're ugly, you've got pretty good ideas."

"You!" Lu Zhenghe gritted his teeth in anger. "If you hadn't seriously injured my Ghostly Wolf, how could I have lost an arm?"

"Your contracted beast is so useless, are you going to blame it on me?" Li Xingze mocked.

"mixed"

"Cough cough~" Xu Dalong hurriedly covered Lu Zhenghe's mouth and whispered in his ear, "This is in the wild. You'd better not offend him, or you'll lose more than just an arm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghe's face turned terribly gloomy.

It's already this dangerous at the very beginning; who knows what other dangers we'll encounter later?

His contracted beast's combat strength is now less than 30%, and its strength is even ranked at the very bottom of the team. Otherwise, he and Xiaofeng wouldn't be the only ones who were seriously injured.

Xiao Feng's injuries could be treated, but he had truly become a one-armed hero. Thinking of this, Lu Zhenghe's gaze towards Xiao Feng became unfriendly.

Why is this guy so lucky?!

Li Xingze noticed his gaze; this guy's mental state seemed a bit unstable after losing an arm.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest quickly," Song Xia said, displaying a good sense of leadership.

"After such a big battle, everyone really needs to adjust properly," Mu Nujiao said, still shaken.

After this battle, Mu Nujiao gained a deeper understanding of Li Xingze's strength; he was far more powerful than a mid-level mage.

After Bai Tingting helped Lu Zhenghe stop the bleeding, she went to treat Xiao Feng's injuries.

"How is Xiaofeng doing?"

"The bones are still remodeling, it will take some time," Bai Tingting replied.

"Brother Ze, collecting spirit essences at this rate is too slow and not worth it at all. Let's hurry up and find a place to rest."

Seeing that Li Xingze was still dealing with these cave demon slaves, Zhao Manyan said something with little interest.

Li Xingze's soul vessel could only collect essences; the remaining essences all ended up in Mo Fan's pocket. After this battle, he only managed to collect two essences.

"Let's go."

The group continued walking along the railway tracks, with Song Xia holding a map, trying to find a safe place to live with water.

With two or three hours to go before dark, the group had plenty of time and found a place to rest near a small lake.

"Wow, Brother Ze, I didn't know you had a spatial ring! You've been keeping this a secret!"

Zhao Manyan complimented while eating a large chicken leg.

Space rings are even more precious than some rare magical artifacts; basically, only a small number of high-level mages or mages of higher rank can afford them.

Even Zhao Manyan doesn't have a treasure like a spatial ring right now, let alone anyone else.

Watching Li Xingze and his group eating and drinking heartily, Luo Song, Lu Zhenghe, and the others couldn't help but swallow hard.

Compared to the delicious and juicy roast meat, the dry rations they brought were simply awesome.

All the girls are currently washing themselves in this lake, so Li Xingze can only use delicious food to shut up their wild imaginations.

"Old Li, with your skills, you could consider opening a barbecue stand after you quit being a mage. I guarantee it would be a huge hit." Mo Fan gave him extremely high praise.

"Hehe, this barbecue chef is okay occasionally, but does he expect me to serve you forever?"

Li Xingze said irritably, then touched Xiao Jin, who was squatting down adding fuel to the fire. Xiao Jin gave him a resentful look: It's not a barbecue grill.

If the roasted meat hadn't been so delicious, this mighty dragon and lion would never have yielded!

Really fragrant!
