Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 9 The Vessel of the Dead
Small clusters of fluorescent lights floated in the dark.

The light it emitted did not light up the darkness, as if it were something non-existent.

At this time, the tiger wing pendant that was often placed on the chest trembled slightly.

This firefly floating in the darkness seemed to have found its home, it was attracted by the pendant, and was finally swallowed!

Zhang Chenran was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to think of something in his mind, and took out the tiger wing pendant hanging on his chest:

"This thing turned out to be a revenant vessel!"

In order to find out what this tiger pendant was, he read many things about the mage's belongings.

The most common pendants like this are items such as magic tools and magic tools.

At first, Zhang Chenran said that this tiger wing pendant was also a magic weapon or a magic tool.

But he denied this guess when he still couldn't use the pendant after awakening magic.

In addition to speculations such as magic weapons and magic tools, there are also similar mage items, soul vessels!

Zhang Chenran once read information about the dead soul vessel in an ancient book.

The only function of the soul vessel is to store souls.

Not only human souls, but even demon souls can be killed and stored.

The soul of the demon is also called the essence and the residual soul!

The fine soul is the complete soul dropped by the monster, and the residual soul is the incomplete soul.

A servant-level spirit can be sold for millions of dollars.

Because essence is the key item for making cultivation utensils, the higher the quality of essence is, the more perfect the cultivation utensils will be!
Essences are invisible to the naked eye of normal people and even magicians.

Only necromancers or those who wear the vessel of the dead can see these spirits.

If the demon does not store the remaining soul when it dies, the remaining soul will dissipate between heaven and earth.

It was also for this reason that Zhang Chenran concluded that this tiger wing pendant was a vessel for dead souls.

"The light is rather dim, so it shouldn't be the soul." Zhang Chenran guessed, recalling the soul of the one-eyed magic wolf just now.

Too much time has been wasted, Zhang Chenran didn't dare to stay any longer, grabbed the sack containing the wolf's kiss fruit on the ground, and walked out of the cave.

.........

somewhere outside the forest.

The members of the free hunter team had just met, and everyone who hadn't seen Zhang Chenran was very anxious.

"We've been dragging it for so long. The boy hasn't come back yet. Is there any accident?" The bald man Wang Yi couldn't help but say.

"It has long been seen that the boy is unreliable and can't complete such a simple task." Ni Ying snorted coldly.

Captain Kou Xiuyong and Chu Zhen also remained silent.

They have already led the one-eyed demon wolf into the trap, and it will take at least a few minutes for the one-eyed demon wolf to escape from the trap.

A shadow mage might not even need 2 minutes if he wants to pick a few fruits.

But several minutes had passed, and Zhang Chenran still hadn't shown up, which made them worry too.

Just when everyone is sad.

A black shadow emerged from the shadow, and Zhang Chenran's figure slowly appeared.

"Cheng Ran!" Chu Zhen was pleasantly surprised when she saw the visitor.

"Are you okay?" Kou Xiuyong asked hastily.

"There was an accident, and all the wolf-kissed fruits in the cave were picked." Zhang Chenran handed over the sack in his hand.

Hunting the one-eyed magic wolf in the cave just now wasted time, and when they left the cave, they almost met the large army of one-eyed magic wolves.

Even with the ability to hunt one-eyed magic wolves, Zhang Chenran was not crazy enough to hunt and kill many one-eyed magic wolves by himself.

They had no choice but to avoid the one-eyed demon wolf, which made the Free Hunter team wait a little longer.

"It's fine." Kou Xiuyong smiled.

"In this case, we have to move to the next target location quickly." Chu Zhen reminded.

The wolf kiss fruit grows in the lair of the one-eyed magic wolf, but the output of each lair will not be too much.

However, the one-eyed magic wolf's habitat in Nanling is too numerous to calculate.

After the wolf kiss fruits in the Demon Wolf Lair here are picked, they will be replaced by the next Demon Wolf Lair.

Otherwise, the number of wolf-kissed fruits is not up to standard and the number required by the commission cannot be completed.
.........

It was almost evening when we arrived at the next preset location.

It was dark when the tent was set up.

Beside the bonfire, everyone chatted and laughed while eating freshly prepared cooked food.

"By the way, Cheng Ran, you just became a mage hunter not long ago, why don't you join our free hunter team? With you joining, our team's efficiency in completing commissions will definitely increase in a straight line!" Kou Xiuyong said suddenly.

When talking about this topic, the atmosphere instantly became quiet, as if they were all waiting for Zhang Chenran's answer.

I still want to go to school Zhang Chenran remained silent under everyone's gaze, and then slowly said after a few seconds:
"I'll think it over."

Hearing this, the Free Hunter team sighed inwardly.

Everyone could tell that he was tactfully rejecting the captain's invitation.

Zhang Chenran thought about this question when he was hunting the one-eyed magic wolf, whether he should leave the magic school and become a mage hunter to integrate into this cruel world sooner.

Outside the Anjie is the territory of demons, no one can tell what will happen, it is a gamble risking their lives.

However, the available resources are not comparable to those in magic schools.

If you look at it this way, it is not unacceptable.

But he quickly dismissed this naive idea.

Even in the magic high school, only elemental magic can be learned, and it is not comprehensive.

Perhaps, one can truly enter the path of magic after graduating from magic high school.

And the real magic doesn't stop there!

If you want to understand magic and become stronger, a better way is to attend a magic school in a big city.

"If you want to hunt down a one-eyed magic wolf, how long will it take?" Zhang Chenran asked the question he had always been curious about.

"A few minutes, this thing has bad skin and thick flesh. It's basically impossible to kill it if it bursts." Kou Xiuyong replied.

Zhang Chenran was taken aback for a moment, and continued to ask:

"The speed of the one-eyed magic wolf is so fast, even with fire magic, it might not be able to hit it [-]% of the time, right?"

"That's why we all work as a team. Even me, a low-level fire mage with the third level, can only be tortured and killed when facing the one-eyed magic wolf." Kou Xiuyong explained with a smile.

Then I'm not going against the sky. Zhang Chenran's pupils were full of shock, which was unbelievable.

Judging from what Kou Xiuyong said, it was impossible for even an entry-level third-level mage to face the one-eyed demon wolf alone.

The third level of elementary level is the strongest existence among elementary mages, and even such mages cannot hunt and kill the one-eyed magic wolf alone.

And he, a shadow mage who had practiced for half a year, killed the one-eyed demon wolf alone?
Zhang Chenran was both delighted and unbelievable about what he got today, and even a little scared after thinking about it.
"You look surprised?" Kou Xiuyong asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the monster is a little too scary"

"Hahaha, it's normal for someone like you who doesn't deal with monsters often to think so, but you won't think so when you see Zhan Kong Wei Commander attacking monsters."

"Zhan Kong?"
