Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 90 Entering the Desert

The bad news from Tong Zhouzheng made the trio sigh.

However, it's not all bad news this guy brings.

After all, this is a new hunter who has caught the eye of the Cold Hunter King. Tong Zhou has been staying in the Sossusvlei Desert for several months and has not been idle.

He drew a map and basically marked several areas where the conflicts between demons and tribes were most intense.

If you avoid these red-eyed guys, there is still hope of walking into the hinterland of the desert.

Of course, Tong Zhouzheng was not taken advantage of. As a condition for obtaining the map, everyone must help him hunt down Medusa, even the weakest Yin Snake Medusa.

"No, every Medusa is protected by an army of demons. It's impossible to hunt them down." Lingling flatly rejected this proposal.

How can hunting a mere sub-monarch monster be worthy of an S-level bounty mission? What’s really difficult is the army of monsters surrounding Medusa, surrounded by mountains and seas!

Tong Zhou was a little embarrassed. He saw that these people were not simple, so he asked them for help on the spur of the moment.

But this little girl's mind was too sharp, and she could see the danger at a glance.

"How about this? I'll give you the map. As for whether you can meet the lonely Medusa, I don't insist." Tong Zhou was putting the map into Xu Shen's hand and said, "Although I don't know why you must be here." Tian entered the Sossusvlei Desert, but as both Chinese people, I don’t want to see you die in a foreign land."

"If you can't speak, just speak less," Xu Shen complained. What does it mean to die in a foreign land?

Tong Zhouzheng smiled awkwardly.

"How about we act together tomorrow?" Xu Shen stuffed the map into his pocket: "One more person will help us more. Maybe we will be lucky enough to encounter a lone Medusa?"

"Okay", Tong Zhouzheng agreed decisively.

When he returned to the hotel, Feng Zhoulong was puzzled. This unsophisticated old scholar was quite critical of Xu Shen's self-assertion.

"What if he gave us a fake map?"

Xu Shen's rhetorical question left Feng Zhoulong stunned.

"Since he took out the map, he means he wants to form a team with us." Lingling also explained: "The map is his conspiracy. As long as he takes it out, then we have only two choices, either bring it with us Either he throws the map away and pretends it never existed."

"Look, my great professor, even Lingling understands the truth, alas..."

Regarding Lao Feng's emotional intelligence, Xu Shen really didn't know what to say, but he couldn't be too demanding.

After all, there are not many monsters in this world who are as high in both quotients as Lingling.

"Randomly forming a team with strangers is a taboo for hunting monsters." Professor Feng was still dissatisfied and took out a book "Essential Knowledge for Hunters" and read from the book.

He bought this specially before coming here. I heard it was a popular bestseller.

"My great professor, you are a super master of the wind and undead systems. He is a freshly graduated college student and can't reach the advanced level. What are you worried about?"

Xu Shen was unable to complain and pushed Lao Feng into his room: "My student ID card is already here for you. Lingling has also checked their identity online. Just have a good rest. I will count on you tomorrow!"

August in the Sossusvlei Desert is the coldest time of the year.

The next day, everyone who was fully prepared did not intend to take Lingling with them. After all, it was too dangerous there.

"Don't run around. I'll peel the lobster for you when you come back tonight, be good." Xu Shen smiled and rubbed Lingling's forehead.

"Put on your cotton-padded clothes, the air conditioning in this hotel is really not that good," Isa warned with a smile, squatting down to help her zip up the zipper, which felt a bit novel about raising a child with Xu Shen.

Lingling said with a dull face: "I saw a human trafficker when I came here yesterday. It's up to you whether you want to take me with you or not."

"She is right. As the conflict between demons and demons intensifies, there are many people dead and missing nearby, including many young girls," Tong Zhouzheng said with a cold breath.

This time, everyone was in trouble.

"Let's go, stop inking!" Professor Feng, who had already walked out more than ten meters away, waved his hand.

"Stinky girl, have you already thought of your words?" Xu Shen pinched her delicate little nose, and finally decided to take her with him: "Let's go, follow closely on the road."

"okay!"

Lingling smiled happily and didn't care about Xu Shen pinching her nose.

Everyone bought an off-road vehicle and drove into this ancient and vast desert. The desolate red sandy land was surrounded by cold winds and was vast and lonely. More than ten minutes later, the car was stuck in the long red sand and could not move. There was not a single living thing in sight in the endless sea of ​​sand.

"I just told you that you can't drive." Tong Zhouzheng looked helpless: "I told you that there is a rental animal training service, but I refused to listen. What should I do now?"

"Cold salad", Xu Shen's fingertips flashed with silver light, opening the door to summons.

"Roar!"

The Fenshuang Silent Lion's whole body was burning with pale flames. Its figure was like snow, its eyes were like bright stars, it was majestic and majestic, and it walked out with steps that it would not recognize its relatives.

It seems that after absorbing the liquid of time, this guy became more and more active in the ice field.

"Take your chill away!" Xu Shen, who was shivering from the cold, patted the lion's head dissatisfied.

The weather is obviously cold at this time, but this little guy doesn't know how to be considerate of everyone and is very showy.

"嘤嘘嘤", Xiaobai nodded quickly, showing a simple and honest smile, the coldness all over his body subsided, and the original white flame turned into milky white. Xu Shen hugged Lingling and jumped on its back. The warmth and softness under his buttocks were just right.

"What a spiritual contracted beast!" Tong Zhouzheng exclaimed.

He never thought that this young man turned out to be an intermediate summoner!

Judging from his age, he should have awakened the Summoning system in the first system. As expected, those who can join this mysterious team are not ordinary people.

Xu Shen glanced at Tong Zhouzheng and didn't explain.

Let him misunderstand.

Xiaobai has now grown to more than three meters tall and nearly 10 meters long, which is more than enough for five people.

The howling wind was split by Xiaobai and protected by thick down. The wind that could blow on everyone was extremely small, and Isha's hair was not messed up much.

"I dare say that even in the Imperial Academy, there are not many such impressive mounts." Tong Zhouzheng looked at Xu Shen with envy: "Which clan does this little guy belong to? I have traveled all over the country for so many years and I have never seen him before. Pass."

"I don't know." Xu Shen shook his head and sighed regretfully: "I signed a contract with him because he looked cute. Who knows, the longer he grows, the less cute he becomes."

Tong Zhou was choking. Is this Versailles?

The little lion still looks very young. It is obviously still a cub, but it already exudes the aura of a warrior-level. In terms of racial level, it must be at least a commander-level.

What's more, none of the lion subspecies are ugly. This little guy will definitely grow up to be a handsome boy and girl among demons. Many people dream of such a hexagonal divine pet with good looks and high combat power.

This guy surnamed Xu got an advantage and acted like a good boy!

The Sossusvlei Desert is beautiful. The deeper you go, the more you can feel this soul-shaking creation of nature.

The vast stretch of red sand dunes in the vast wilderness, with its beautiful and dreamy crescent-shaped arc reflecting the orange-red sky in the sunlight, is like the work of the most unruly artist.

Of course, it would be better if there were no eye-opening monsters that pop up from time to time.

According to Tong Zhouzheng, these are the elite and powerful people who protect the old, weak, sick and pregnant in the clan. If any blind hunter wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the demon war to pick them up, he will definitely suffer.

"If we form a demon hunting group, wouldn't we be able to kill at will?" Feng Zhoulong asked curiously.

"A warrior-level monster requires at least 6 or 7 ordinary mid-level mages to form a team to deal with it. The snakes, lizards and other monsters we encountered before were all in groups of three or three. Such a lineup theoretically requires at least 15 It takes ~20 mid-level mages to deal with it, and most demon hunting teams are basically 5 to 13 people, so it is not easy to deal with them." Tong Zhouzheng shrugged.

"Can't we just find more people?"

"So, it's just a theory." Lingling huddled in Isa's arms and explained: "Many types of magic have a direct relationship with each other. In a demon hunting group, the more people there are, the lower the tacit understanding will be, and the bigger the flaws will be. Sometimes On the contrary, it will become a constraint. Five to 5 people is the optimal team size that the Demon Hunter Team has practiced for countless years."

Feng Zhoulong nodded thoughtfully. He had little actual combat experience, but his IQ was online. He realized the problem before Lingling finished speaking.

Perhaps, we can start with the magic battle formation, Feng Zhoulong thought, secretly keeping it in mind.

Here comes the bald-headed graduation thesis topic for students!

Sure enough, after traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, the ancients are sincere and I will not deceive them.
