Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 152 Tens of millions of commissions, abandoned ancient temples (4k)

"Rain sleep!"

After seeing Ding Yumian, Huang Xingli trot forward and sat beside her.

At the same time, her eyes glanced at Zhang Chenran who was at the side intentionally or unintentionally.
Few students come to the top floor of the library.

But because of Ding Yumian, there are quite a few students who came to the top floor of the library because they wanted to strike up a conversation and get to know Ding Yumian.

After all, Ding Yumian is the beauty of the Fire Academy, and is even on the list of the top ten goddesses of Pearl Academy!

There are many people who covet her beauty.

And Huang Xingli, a best friend, would often become her "flower protector" to drive away those who plotted against her!

When she first came in, Huang Xingli thought that Zhang Chenran was also the kind of person who had other ideas about Ding Yumian.

But after seeing his appearance, Huang Lixing was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Ding Yumian asked confused when he saw her appearance.

Huang Xingli withdrew her gaze, gently pushed Ding Yumian with her hands, and whispered excitedly:

"Yumian, remember the strongest guard I've been telling you about these days?"

"That person named Zhang Chenran?" Ding Yumian asked her back.

In the past few days, Huang Xingli had mentioned this person in her ears countless times.

Words such as 'the strongest guardian' and 'the appearance and strength of the national pavilion', she would say when mentioning the person named Zhang Chenran.

Ding Yumian knew Huang Xingli very well, this guy is completely a face control.

Every time there is a well-known mage with good looks, she will firmly remember it.

But when another good-looking and more famous mage appears, she will forget about her 'assignment' again.

I remember that the last person Huang Xingli paid attention to was Liu Qian, Prince Charming of the Fire Academy.

It's a pity that this guy exposed his true nature after being defeated by the Pearl Devil, and unceremoniously rejected her kindness, which made her heartbroken.
"Yes, it's him! I didn't expect him to be here!" Huang Xingli's eyes sparkled.

"You should have a better memory." Ding Yumian couldn't help persuading her best friend.

"It's different this time!" Huang Xingli said softly.

Ding Yumian was quite helpless. Huang Xingli was quite nice, but she couldn't quite understand the nymphomaniac thing.

Seeing Huang Xingli's nympho look, Ding Yumian got up and put the book back in its place.

"Let's go."

"I want to say hello to him, will you accompany me?"

"Others are still reading, it's very impolite of you!" Ding Yumian shook her head.

"Oh, Yu Mian, except for appearing at the National Pavilion on time every day, he is elusive at other times and will not appear in the public eye. Now that I finally have a chance, please accompany me!" Huang Xingli prayed.

Ding Yumian couldn't win over her best friend, so she reluctantly agreed.
.........

Just after reading, Zhang Chenran waved his hand.

The four magic books were carried back to the bookshelf by a force of thought.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Huang Xingli pulled Ding Yumian to him.

"Hello, classmate, can you sign your name for me?" Huang Xingli said, skillfully taking out the notebook she carried and handing it over.

"sign?"

Zhang Chenran was taken aback for a moment, acting very surprised.

"Can't you? Idol." Huang Xingli was a little disappointed.

After recovering, Zhang Chenran took the pen and paper and explained:

"It was my first time signing autographs for someone, so I was a little surprised."

"Xingli has always been like this, please don't take it to heart." Ding Yumian said softly.

After signing, Zhang Chenran returned the pen and paper, and smiled at her:
"It's just a casual thing. Speaking of which, you have helped me twice and haven't had a chance to thank you. Why don't I treat you to a meal?"

"Really."

Before Huang Xingli finished speaking, Ding Yumian hurriedly interrupted:

"We still have something to do, so don't bother."

After she finished speaking, she dragged her nympho girlfriend and left quickly
"Wang, your way of striking up a conversation is too crude." Empress Jiuyou couldn't help complaining.

"Really?" Zhang Chenran said in a depressed tone, "My purpose is not that obvious, right?"

"If you don't believe me, ask them"

Hearing what she said, consciousness penetrated into the shadow.

Manzhushahua shook her head and said she didn't understand.

The flame witch snorted coldly, her face was not very good-looking, and she didn't seem to want to pay attention to him.

"The method is a bit crude, but the direction is correct. King, come on!" Youlan encouraged him enthusiastically.

Zhang Chenran ignored her, his consciousness left the shadow world, and whispered:
"I can't see through her."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, and I can't say."

"."

.........

evening.

Zhang Chenran turned into a shadow, and shuttled through the big city of Demon City as usual.

With his current strength, he can complete several high commission tasks in just one night.

Of course, this is under the premise of Lingling.

"I finally understand why Mo Fan was able to level up so fast." Zhang Chenran couldn't help but say.

As a partner with Lingling, she will investigate almost everything and leave the rest of the battle to herself.
Today's mandate is a bit different, though.

The other party gave an entrustment amount of tens of millions, and paid 500 million directly, and the balance was settled after the task was completed.
A place close to Anjie.

"What is the entrusted task?"

After finding Lingling, Zhang Chenran asked curiously.

"Look for someone outside Anjie, and ask for a hunter master level mage!" Lingling said.

Looking for someone outside Anjie, Master Hunter Zhang Chenran thought this request was quite normal.

Anjie is originally the territory of demons, so we must be vigilant at all times.

It's reasonable to ask a mage hunter at the level of a master hunter to find a missing person
While heading to the entrustment site, Lingling explained to him:
"The client is a high-level hunter, and he belongs to a team of nine hunters.

Eight high-level hunters, one elite hunter, and the elite hunter captain is also a high-level mage!
This matter is also strange, although their strength is obviously not strong, but they can't be said to be weak.

But in the end, he was the only one who returned to Anjie. "

"Is he the only one who returned to Anjie? Where are the others?" Zhang Chenran asked.

Lingling shook her head, indicating that she was not very clear, and continued:
“After their team of hunters completed their mission outside Anjie, they rested for a while in a nearby ancient temple.

The client just went out for convenience, and when he came back, he found that all eight teammates had disappeared.

He saw that his teammates' things were still in the temple, so he didn't pay much attention.

But the client has been waiting in the temple for a long time, but no teammate came.”

"and then?"

"The client went to the backyard of the main hall of the temple to search, and found the dying captain.

The captain seemed to have been tortured, there was not a piece of intact skin on his body.

He made the client escape from that temple"

Lingling didn't go on talking, the other party only gave so much information.

But if you think about it carefully, you can make a rough guess.

The client ran back to Anjie non-stop, and finally issued a commission to Qingtian Hunting House
"You really dare to accept any commission." Zhang Chenran said.

According to the information sent by the client, this commission is very difficult.

Not to mention that the mission location is outside the security boundary, the information given by the client is still vague.

But it is precisely because of this that the entrusted amount will reach tens of millions!
"Are you afraid?" Lingling asked him back.

"That's not the case. According to normal circumstances, there should be very scary and troublesome monsters near the temple.

As for the commission issued by the client, there is a high probability that it is not for us to find someone, but to investigate the cause of death of the dead teammate.

Well, if you have the ability, you can easily eradicate that monster. "Zhang Chenran said.

That captain is a high-level mage, and even his end is like that, how can the other team members escape?

The client only saw the captain in the end, perhaps because the captain was relatively strong and escaped from the monster.

However, judging from the client's final description of the captain's situation, it is estimated that some strange demon poison is corrupting his body.

Even if you can escape the claws of the monster, you cannot escape the fate of being corroded by the monster's poison and dying.
"But there is one thing I can't figure out, why did the client's eight teammates leave the temple and go to the backyard?

If it is said that monsters took them away, even high-ranking mages can attack them quietly
How can the client, a mid-level mage, avoid the claws of demons? "Zhang Chenran said.

Lingling shook her head and said she was not sure. This was also her doubt.

Perhaps because of some coincidence, the client avoided the perception of the demon, and the answer has to be found by themselves.
.........

Two master hunters walked on the rugged mountain road.

"so quiet"

Zhang Chenran looked around, feeling uneasy.

The wilderness that the two of them were in was clearly outside the safe world, but the roars of demons could rarely be heard.

"According to the distance given by the client, we should be almost there." Lingling said.

Sure enough, not long after, a deserted ancient temple was found at the end of the rugged mountain road.

This ancient temple has been abandoned for many years, and the paint on the gate in front of the temple has been mottled and blackened.

The deserted ancient tomb standing quietly in the darkness looks very intrusive.

"The surrounding area is so quiet that there are no sounds of monsters. If things go wrong, there must be monsters."

Zhang Chenran was not at ease, and summoned dozens of shadow-born guards from the shadow as scouts, and entered the temple to explore in advance.

In a few seconds, the Shadowborn guards had explored the entire front yard and main hall of the temple.

No living things exist!

The Shadowborn guards continued to search for clues in all directions, centering on the main hall of the temple.
The two stepped onto the cracked steps in front of the temple gate and crossed the broken threshold.

What came into view was a vast front yard with tall weeds growing taller than Lingling.

A silver light appeared in Zhang Chenran's eyes.

This piece of wild grass broke off one after another, and fell down in unison!

The power of space cutting scraped across the front yard, the grass was cleaned up, and the road ahead was much cleaner.

Lingling nodded in satisfaction.

Without the cover of grass taller than herself, she also saw the dilapidated main hall of the temple in front of her.

The main hall door was opened, and the two walked into the main hall.

There are three Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall, all of which are covered with dust.

"That should be what the client and his teammates left behind." Zhang Chenran saw several backpacks in different positions.

Lingling grabbed the two backpacks casually and turned the contents inside out.

"These are the necessary items for hunters to go out for a long time, such as monster bones and blood. These things should sell for at least 40 yuan!"

Lingling, who has been in contact with monsters all year round, knows these things very well, and even estimated the price.

Then, she poured out all the contents of the remaining bags.

The monster loot alone is worth at least 500 million!
If a mage came here by accident and dug out these things, he might be ecstatic.

More than 500 million, this is not a small number!

But Zhang Chenran and Lingling couldn't be happier.

The more trophies this hunter team gets, it means that their strength is definitely not weak!
"I searched with dark matter just now, and the entire front yard and this main hall are safe." Zhang Chenran said.

This is also expected, the client was in the direction of the backyard when he saw the captain for the last time, and the front yard should be safe.

At least he didn't see any danger.
"Put things away, let's go to the backyard to have a look." Lingling said.

She briefly searched the main hall and found nothing unusual.

Zhang Chenran waved his hand, and the silver light took away all the valuable treasures in the backpack.

These things are worth a lot of money. Although it is very unkind for them to take things from dead people, they cannot let these things go to waste here.

At this time, the Shadowborn guard sent him a message.

The temple is quiet and normal!
There were no living creatures, no corpses, not even blood.
"What kind of monster is the perpetrator? To take away eight mages without leaving a trace, and kill them?" Zhang Chenran suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Although he has the trump card of not being afraid of everything, he still couldn't help but feel chills.

I always feel like I am going through the plot of a horror movie.
Leaving the main hall, the two walked towards the backyard.

A big banyan tree appeared in front of me.

The banyan tree is about 20 meters long. It has experienced many years of wind and rain.

The two didn't care, they walked around the banyan tree and continued on.

Lingling's cute little face frowned slightly and she looked around.

On the other hand, Zhang Chenran was not so nervous.

The Shadowborn guards searched all over here, and there is no living thing at all.

"The client said that he vaguely saw a few houses in the backyard, and the captain escaped from that direction." Lingling reminded.

"The client is quite lucky." Zhang Chenran said.

Just as Lingling said, the two of them had not walked long before several small bungalows appeared in front of them.

Zhang Chenran asked the Shadowborn guard in his heart.

The guard responded to him with the news that all the areas had been searched and no living things existed.

The same is true for those small bungalows.

Strange. Zhang Chenran frowned slightly.

A hint of darkness emerged from the shadow behind him, slipping into Lingling's shadow.

"Lingling, do you think the client's captain will leave bloodstains?" Zhang Chenran asked inexplicably.

"It depends on the situation. If the corrosion starts from the surface of the skin, it will definitely leave blood, but if it starts to corrode the flesh and blood from the inside of the body, there should be no blood. The client did not elaborate." Lingling responded road.

Thinking about it, the client was probably scared to death at that time, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to whether the captain left blood.
