Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 604 Heading to the Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley, Dividing the Forces Again

After dividing the spoils, Jiang Han began discussing the next plan with Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, and others, which was the greatest treasure left behind by the Hunter Alliance in this alternate dimension.

Jiang Han only remembered that it was mentioned in the original work that the information came from a fat man named Tony. The battlefield treasure was in a miasma lake valley. In addition to the poison barrier that could easily kill ordinary mages, there was a pair of extremely troublesome Heart-Devouring Demons in the lake valley. It was said that deep inside, there were monarch-level demons that even super-level mages dared not approach easily.

As for the treasure left over from the treasure hunt competition decades ago, Jiang Han wasn't very interested. What truly interested him was the poisonous monarch-level demon dwelling deep in the lake valley.

While it's true that Mind Stones can enhance a mage's soul realm, there's a prerequisite: your soul realm must be at either the minor or intermediate stage.

For a high-level mage like Jiang Han, whose soul realm (spiritual power) has reached the sixth level, the cultivation speed that the Mind Stone can provide is much faster. Otherwise, why would the Mind Stone be used as a battlefield treasure in competitions?

You should know that other mages who reach this level are generally super-level mages. If the Mind Stone can quickly improve their mental power, how could it be the turn of these newbies who have just stepped into the high level?

"Really? There are treasures that have been around for decades?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard there were treasures.

"Yes, but the situation is quite dangerous. Besides the low-level demons on the outer perimeter, there might be a monarch-level poison-type demon dwelling deep inside," Jiang Han said calmly.

"Hiss~" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this. This was too terrifying. He never expected that there would be a monarch-level demon in this alternate dimension.

Upon hearing this, everyone's previous excitement vanished instantly, replaced by endless fear. While they could still fight demons at the commander and grand commander levels, the monarch level was far too much for them. Going there would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

As for the possibility that there might be some, and what if there aren't any monarch-level demons inside? They could only chuckle. If there weren't any monarch-level demons, would the Hunter Alliance have left the battlefield treasures inside after the competition? When the danger far outweighs the benefits, these geniuses from aristocratic families wouldn't take the risk.

"So what are your plans?" After a moment of silence, Ai Jiangtu finally asked for Jiang Han's opinion.

Although he is the captain of the Chinese team, Jiang Han is the team's main force, and some decisions still need to be made after consulting his opinion.

Secondly, his younger sister's relationship with this boy was unclear, and he asked him this question hoping that the other party would seriously consider giving up this adventure.

"I'll go and find out what's going on, and while I'm at it, I'll retrieve that battlefield treasure."

"As for you, if you want to go, I can take you. If you don't want to go, then continue searching for other resource points."

Jiang Han's statement indicated his intention to separate from the group. He was going to deal with a monarch-level demon, and having other people around would be somewhat inconvenient. However, if someone wanted to go on the adventure with him, it would be fine if they were someone he knew well, but for those he didn't know, Jiang Han could only say that whether they could survive would depend on their luck.

As for the idea that teammates should help each other? Haha, Jiang Han isn't some pushover. He's not going to be their babysitter, and there's no reason for him to take on their risks.

"I won't go," Mu Yingting said first.

"Me too," Nan Rongni added.

The two of them were genuinely afraid to go. Monarch-level demons were dangerous, but in their eyes, Jiang Han was the most dangerous. If they really went, who knew if they would be attacked and killed by some demon inside?

Jiang Han might save the others, but it's already a miracle that he didn't personally send these two off. Going after them would be no different from courting death.

Zu Jiming, Li Kaifeng, Jiang Yu, Guan Yu, and Nan Yu also chose to search for resources elsewhere. Zhao Manyan did not intend to take the risk, but Mo Fan said that good brothers should share the good times and the bad, and insisted on dragging him along. Helpless, Zhao Manyan could only agree.

As the team leader, Ai Jiangtu naturally chose to stay with his teammates. Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Nujiao, and Mu Ningxue all chose to go with him to the Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley to search for the remaining battlefield treasures.

Mu Nujiao's strength was almost at the bottom of the team, so Jiang Han directly rejected her as soon as she said she wanted to go with him.

The Poisonous Lake Valley they were going to this time was too dangerous. Jiang Han had thought it through carefully before letting Mu Nujiao accompany Ai Jiangtu's group. Although there was danger, with the patrolling assistant referee always watching over her, her life would not be in real danger. Moreover, she could take the opportunity to absorb the willow wood heart he gave her to improve her strength.

As for whether those foreigners will retaliate again, after being "taught" so many times by Jiang Han, they wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Chinese team even if Jiang Han wasn't there.

······

After Jiang Han and his group parted ways with Ai Jiangtu and the others, they boarded the "Tool Dragon" and began searching for the location of the Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley. During this time, Jiang Shaoxu tried to control the Eye Eagles with mind magic to help with the search. Although there were only a few of them, it greatly reduced the search time.

"Jiang Han, have everyone head northwest. There's a place there that's similar to the Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley you mentioned," Jiang Shaoxu, who had been controlling the Pupil Eagle with his eyes closed, suddenly shouted.

"You found it so quickly!" Mo Fan said excitedly.

"Okay." Jiang Han responded and then directed the 'Tool Dragon' to fly towards the place Jiang Shaoxu had indicated.

About ten minutes later, "Tool Dragon" led everyone to the sky above a continuous mountain range. Looking down from the sky, they could see that the mountain range was exceptionally large. It wasn't until they reached the end of the mountain range that they could see the shape of the lake valley.

There are large areas of land that have sunken down and are shrouded in a thick layer of dark purple gas, which looks like a black lake from a distance. Perhaps this is the origin of the name Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley.

The landscape of the Poisonous Lake Valley is very unique. Unlike the flat basin lakes, some parts are valley basins, while others are narrow fissures in the ground. In some places, the mountain peaks form a screen and divide the area into several parts. Large lakes are connected to small lakes, and small lakes are connected by long mountain gorges and streams. In this sunken mountainous area, a group of dry lakes without water has been formed.

"What a complicated terrain. Finding that battlefield treasure in such a large area is like finding a needle in a haystack." Mo Fan's previous excitement dissipated considerably after looking at the terrain below.

"There isn't a single poison-type among us in such a thick layer of poisonous miasma. It will be quite troublesome for us to go down there," Jiang Shaoxu said earnestly to everyone.

"Prepare to descend." Jiang Han patted the 'Tool Dragon's' head, and at the same time, he deployed his Absolute Zero Domain to envelop everyone.

As the "Tool Dragon" continued to descend, the group soon arrived at the poisonous miasma layer. To everyone's surprise, the poisonous fog did not affect them. Moreover, they soon discovered that within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the "Tool Dragon," all the suspended poison was frozen into tiny ice crystals by the extreme low temperature and fell below.

As for why they were unaffected, it was because there was a second layer of protection among them. Jiang Han had constructed a protective shield using spatial power, which could isolate all toxins or poison crystals from the outside world.
