Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 38 Bo City
Bo is an ancient city that has existed for more than 2000 years.

This is extremely rare in Chinese history.

As time goes by, monsters, earthquakes, tsunamis, plagues, famines... there are too many factors that can end the life of a city.

And Bo City, for thousands of years, has been like a candle in the storm, swaying and turbulent but never extinguished.

Xinxia once said that this is a city of protection, guarding a secret that spans 2000 years...

Leng Qing once said that he would call Xu Shen when taking action.

Unexpectedly, this wait is coming to the end of high school.

The countdown to the college entrance examination has begun, and most senior high school students are already so anxious that they are almost bald. Xu Shen, who has already received the admission notice from Pearl University, is just waiting for the start of school to report to the Qing Campus. Recently, he is eating delicious food and is in great health.

After an absence of more than two years, I set foot on this homeland again.

The small town is not big, but the land is flat and the houses are scattered.

Xu Shen couldn't help but think of the broken walls and ruins under the impact of the monster...

An unforgettable memory for two lifetimes.

The typhoon that had not left yet blew Leng Qing's windbreaker and asked, "What, are you homesick?"

"A little bit," Xu Shen nodded without hiding his homesickness.

"Let's go directly to Xuefeng Mountain Station."

The post station is an outpost located on the edge of the Anjie. It is also a supply station for mages who enter the wild to practice.

Within the safe world, there are powerful men from the Hunter Alliance, the Magic Association, and the Magic Family patrolling and guarding day and night. Their existence basically guarantees the tranquility of the human habitat.

But outside the safe world is the paradise of demons, where there is no order, no civilization, only the eternal and cruel laws of the forest.

In order for humans to survive in a world surrounded by demons, almost every powerful mage must learn to survive and become stronger outside the safe world...

Generation after generation of mages come one after another, hoping that one day the safe world will spread all over the world, and the demons will put away their fangs and claws and learn to be kind to others...

But there are always people who wear the guise of human beings but do nothing to do human things.

They are like despicable rats hiding in dark sewers, living like flies and dogs, shamelessly "raping" in front of others, and even claiming to be "sane in the world."

Xu Shen didn't care about their discord and treachery, he only cared about when these beasts would die.

"What are you thinking about?"

Leng Qing, who was on the military off-road vehicle, saw Xu Shen looking out the window in a daze, thinking that he was homesick, and said a little funny: "Why did you go to the Magic City in the first place if you are so homesick?"

"Nothing." Xu Shen shook his head and asked about Leng Hunter King's current situation.

"Father, he..." Leng Qing sighed and said: "How can it be better if your cultivation is completely useless? That is, with Lingling by your side, you can still smile."

Xu Shen shook his head and didn't know what to say.

For a mage who aspires to reach the pinnacle of magic, losing his cultivation may be more painful than death.

Although he rarely saw this elusive hunting king, it was not difficult to hear from Lingling her admiration and dependence on her father.

This is an upright mage hunter, and he is also a father who is as deep as a mountain.

Perhaps, for Lingling, this is the best ending.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, and the two people who had their own thoughts stopped talking, especially Leng Qing, who stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the roar of the engine dispersed the tense atmosphere.

Damn, this car!
Not running too fast, but flying too low!

Xu Shen grasped the car's roof armrest tightly and looked at Leng Qing, who had a calm face, in fear.

Xuefeng Mountain, with an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, is bumpy and undulating along the winding mountain road.

Xu Shen held it in all the way to the village before opening the car door and spit it out. He was already very powerful.

Leng Qing helped Xu Shen, who was pale, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

For a mage, motion sickness is not a good idea.

She seemed to have found the direction that Xu Shen should focus on.

Getting in the car again, the two of them arrived at their destination in a short while.

The cottage is built in a valley between two steep peaks.

A huge stone gate blocks the way forward.This simple and unpretentious stone gate is the proud work of a builder from Bo City, and magic below the intermediate level cannot shake it at all.

There are two such stone gates in front and back, sealing the passage in and out of the village. They also form the first line of defense in Bo City's security world. They can stop most demons that are ready to move.

Leng Qing's identity at this time was the military mage chief who came here for investigation.

The two waited for a moment to find out their identities before heading straight in.

Xu Shen played here a lot when he was young.

This snow-covered mountain peak almost constituted his entire childhood, until he was seven years old...

It was just an ordinary blue alert, which would happen every two or three years.

As usual, he was waiting for his parents to slay the demons and happily bring the newly picked animal bones to him as toys.

Waiting and waiting, what I waited for was two pieces of broken clothes...

As the orphan of a military mage, it was natural that the government would cover all his living expenses from then on.

As the uncles and aunts he knew well were transferred or sacrificed one by one.

He came here less and less often.

Today, I set foot on this land again, and the dust-laden memories gradually awakened.

It seems that nothing has changed here, there are still those simple wooden houses put together into a market with constant shouting and hawking.

But it seemed that everything had changed again, and none of the unfamiliar faces matched the appearance in his memory.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you two for a long time." A handsome guy with an unruly temperament and a stubble came up to him.

Instructor Zhankong...

Xu Shen looked at this man quietly.

In his previous life, he was ranked last in all grades and missed the test for top students in his sophomore year of high school.

But that doesn't stop Mo Fan from telling everyone what happened.

If it weren't for several nymphomaniac girls who chimed in from time to time, he wouldn't have had any impression of this military mage with a mysterious background.

Until the bloody alert sounded.

The whole city is like a hell on earth, with the sounds of monsters biting and humans howling...

When the terrifying and ferocious blood-striped giant demon rat rushed towards him, he really thought he was finished.

"[Wind Pan Tianluo]!"

A cold, violent wind swept across the sky.

The gleaming rodent brushed against his ankle.

The truck-sized blood-striped troll rat was swept up into the air and torn into pieces.

The demon's blood poured down like a torrential rain, drenching Xu Shen who was stunned.

"Hey, kid, if you still have some strength, run to the square." Zhan Kong did not stop, he had more important things to do.

He was extremely lucky to have saved Xu Shen by the way.

Xu Shen had always known that humans were extremely weak in front of demons, but he never expected that they could be so weak.

Just a scratch from those damn rat teeth, and the entire foot was crippled.

The instinct of survival made him drag his bloody feet and limp to the square while holding on to the wall.

He was lucky, the route he came from was cleared by Zhan Kong and others, and he never encountered another demon.

……

"Hey, handsome boy, what are you thinking about? Come in!"

Zhan Kong smiled and patted Xu Shen's shoulder.

"Oh, here we come, here we come."

Xu Shenying, who came back to his senses, followed suit.
