Full-Time Magister: Starting with a Celestial Body (Sign-in Event)

Chapter 183 The Treasure-Hunting Team, Activated!

Lu Jie closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings. After a short while, he opened his eyes and walked towards a strange, twisted, and dark forest.

He soon arrived at the forest, surrounded by old trees with withered trunks that seemed to be twisting and turning.

The leaves were withered, the canopy was sparse and decaying, and the atmosphere of darkness was quite intense.

Mmm~^

A gust of wind drifted out from the woods, carrying with it the chill of frost and the life force of plants.

Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue are both in here.

Lu Jie leaped onto a tree trunk, then hopped between the trunks, heading towards the direction of the magical fluctuations.

Before long, in a densely wooded area, Lu Jie saw Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue.

They were surrounded by a ring of frozen trees, like an ice prison trapping them inside.

"Xuexue————-? How did you get surrounded?" At this moment, Mo Fan stood on the trunk of an old tree and asked with a puzzled look.

"Be careful, these trees can move!" Mu Ningxue immediately warned Mo Fan.

Before Mo Fan could even understand what was happening, two sharp, withered tree trunks suddenly pierced towards him.

And the very old tree he was standing on was the one that attacked him!

Mo Fan instinctively jumped up, but before he could even adjust his posture in mid-air, he saw a large, withered wooden claw slam down, sending him flying like a ball.

Lu Jie immediately used his Wood Release vines to tightly entangle the old tree he was standing on, preventing it from launching an attack.

"Oh, I thought it was someone playing ball, but it's Mo Fan." Lu Jie stood on the wood-element tree trunk, arms crossed, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Lu Jie, be careful, something's not right with these trees!" Mu Nujiao hurriedly warned Lu Jie when she saw him arrive.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Damn it, you've been here for ages, and you just watched me get beaten up?"

Mo Fan said angrily, but when he turned to look at the old tree he had just stepped on, it had already grown back up from the ground.

They wriggle on the ground using their roots and tendrils, and the tree trunks are their weapons.

"Damn it, I'll burn it all down!" Mo Fan cursed angrily.

"Don't be impulsive. There are many of them. If you do that, you'll attract even more black tree spirits!" Mu Ningxue advised.

"Then what should we do? We can't just let them bounce us around like a ball, can we?" Mo Fan said, scratching his head.

"There is a black tree spirit in charge, and there is a Yuan Crystal at the entrance of its tree hole. It must have been placed there by the organizers," Mu Nujiao said at this moment.

"Yuanjing! That's a really good thing!" Lu Jie appeared beside them at some point and said.

"How should we distribute them?" Mo Fan asked. There were four of them here, and it wasn't easy to divide even one Yuan Crystal among them.

"Whoever finds it first gets to keep it. Besides, there are quite a few treasures inside. We'll take them back from the people who are keeping them safe for us later," Lu Jie said.

"Hehe, Lao Lu, you're really something! I was thinking the same thing. Xuexue, how about it? Want to join the treasure-hunting team that Lao Lu and I are forming?" Mo Fan said.

"This—" Mu Ningxue hesitated.

"Hey, don't hesitate, if we don't grab it, someone else will—" Mo Fan advised.

Mu Ningxue finally nodded in agreement, and Mu Nujiao, needless to say, also agreed.

"The four-person treasure-hunting team, in action!"

Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao continued to unleash their ice and snow power, and the incredibly strong frost was very effective against plant-type demons.

All the black tree spirits in this area were sealed by Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao's ice and snow power. After passing through the frozen black tree spirits, the four of them saw the black tree spirit leader that Mu Nujiao had mentioned in the center of a small black lake.

This black tree spirit leader is also very strange. He lives in a lake, and the entire black lake is filled with huge bubbles, which looks disgusting.

At the very center of the Black Tree Spirit's territory was a strange mouth, resembling a human's mouth but several times wider, with twisted and ferocious branches serving as its claws. As they approached, they saw the Black Tree Spirit's branches gripping a grizzly bear.

The grizzly bear was at least two stories tall, and its body was covered in gray flames. It was a demon in the servant advancement stage, but the black tree spirit leader had riddled it with holes, and blood was flowing from the wounds, soaking the lake water.

The red blood turned completely black after entering the black lake, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

"This—this lake water is all blood!!" Mu Nujiao exclaimed in shock.

"It must have killed many living beings!" Mu Ningxue said solemnly.

"Kill it!" Mo Fan said.

Hoo~~>

The black tree spirit leader also noticed Lu Jie and the others hiding by the lake and let out a violent roar at them.

Even without eyes or a face, you can still feel its hunger and brutality!

"Call my underlings? Sorry, they've already been frozen into ice trees." Lu Jie watched as the Black Tree Spirit leader roared, but his underlings were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that calling upon its underlings was ineffective, the Black Tree Spirit leader had no choice but to take matters into its own hands. Its branches suddenly extended, transforming into long whips, which it lashed out at Lu Jie.

"go."

A plant-based star map appeared behind Lu Jie, from which a wooden dragon as thick as the torso of an ordinary bear flew out and clashed with the branches led by the black tree spirit.

The long whip lashed at the wooden dragon's body, but it only produced the sound of wood striking wood.

"Me too! Thunder Claw!"

Dark black lightning tore through the sky, both shocking and dazzling. The sharp electric claws, like celestial demons descending to earth, struck the canopy of the tree spirit's leader with devastating force.

However, this only caused some wounds to the Black Treant Commander, and did not seriously injure it.

"No, buddy, these plant-type demons are immune to lightning to some extent. Did you waste your time training in the wild?" Lu Jie couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing," Mo Fan said.

Lu Jie shook his head, then summoned the fire constellation, and cyan flames wrapped around his arm.

"Azure Lotus Flame Rain!"

The cyan fire fists transformed into a torrential rain, descending from the sky and slamming heavily onto the Black Tree Spirit Commander. The fierce flames even evaporated the black blood in the Blood Lake.

The Azure Lotus Fire clung to the Black Tree Spirit Commander like a maggot, burning extremely fiercely until the entire Black Tree Spirit Commander was covered in Azure Lotus Fire.

The Black Tree Spirit leader let out a painful roar, and the lake water churned violently at that moment. Then, thick roots crawled out of the lake.

These roots and tendrils grew so luxuriantly that they almost filled the entire lake. They kept writhing and looked quite ferocious!

These tree roots attempted to penetrate the Azure Lotus Fire to deal with Lu Jie, but as soon as they came into contact with the Azure Lotus Fire, the tree roots were enveloped by the Azure Lotus Fire. However, these were not just tree roots; they were like bloodthirsty, vampiric worms!

The Azure Lotus Flame scorched them, and they twisted and struggled, but they could not get rid of the Azure Lotus Flame at all.

After burning for a full ten minutes, the Black Tree Spirit leader was finally burned to death. It was fortunate that Lu Jie controlled the direction of the Azure Lotus Fire, otherwise the Yuan Crystal would have been burned as well.

Just as they reunited and prepared to head to other places in search of treasure, an untimely voice rang out.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you all to leave like this?"
