Full-time mage: My wife Ning Xue, Suzaku Fentian!

Chapter 74 Going up the mountain and into the forest
.........

Hotel.
Mu Qing opened the curtain at hand and sat on the soft white bed.

Looking at the map in his hand, Mu Qing was also thoughtful.

Today is his seventh day in this small town. Over the past few days, he has been searching for information about the monsters in the nearby mountains and forests.

The map in his hands was given to him by his employer.

There are several mountain ranges circled in red, which are the locations where the leader pig demon has appeared, collected by nearby mage hunters.

After confirming the activity range of this group of monsters, Mu Qing was also ready to climb the mountain.

Maybe Mu Qing really should find a hunting group to carry out medium and high-risk tasks together.

It's not because of lack of strength, but it's a bit inefficient for one person to slowly collect the information about the commission and the specific location of the demon.

Mu Qing had a deep understanding of it over the past few days. In addition to investigating, he also went up the mountain several times to look for the monster in the past seven days, but in the end he returned without success.

This gave Mu Qing a headache. It was really difficult for him to find a demon that was tens of meters tall in this vast mountain.

Shaking his head and not thinking too much, Mu Qing began to pack his luggage in the hotel.

This time, he is fully armed and cannot find the mission target without going down the mountain! He doesn't believe it!
Anyway, the scope of activities has been basically determined now, and he has plenty of time. Even if you squat, you have to squat down to that beast!

After checking out of the room, Mu Qing put most of his useful things into the pendant on his chest, carrying only a bag for storing food.

After riding out of the city in the car, Mu Qing summoned the flaming lion.

The Fire Lion's strength has increased rapidly recently, and its current strength can be ranked among the best even at the level of the entire war general.

Sitting on the lion's back, Mu Qing patted the big red head.

"let's go."

With previous experiences, the Fire Lion was already familiar with climbing the mountain.

Passing through a wasteland, Mu Qing began to stay away from this small safety barrier and entered the green forest.

One man and one beast walked into the mountain. Mu Qing didn't even have to release his breath deliberately. Just the flaming lion under him could scare away countless monsters at the peak level of the battle.

With its noble bloodline and the pressure of cultivation, few evil spirits dare to challenge it.

The flaming lion galloped through the mountain forest, while Mu Qing studied the map on its back.

Their current location is only on the outskirts of the mountain forest, but because the group of demons have been showing signs of rioting in the city since they came in, this is actually the haunt of those beasts.

However, Mu Qing's luck seemed to be unlucky this time. Until it was dark in the afternoon, he didn't feel the aura of the commanding demon at all.

The Fire Lion was sent back to the summoning plane to rest. This time, there was only one person, Mu Qing, who was too lazy to set up a tent.

He looked around and found a tree and jumped onto a relatively thick trunk.

After taking out something from his backpack and eating something, he set up a cordon around him that was simply made of magic energy.

With this thing, he can immediately feel if there is any disturbance around him.

After doing all this, Mu Qing did not choose to sleep, but prepared to spend this boring night through meditation...

While practicing, Mu Qing could feel some little demons approaching the barrier he had set up.

However, it seems that because the magical aura left by the barrier he set up is too strong, these slave-level demons basically dare not stay, let alone break in.

.........

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was getting dark, Mu Qing quit his cultivation state.

"These monsters..."

Mu Qing looked around and took out the map from his arms.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the mountain forest on foot.

If you don't call the Flame Lion out of the summoning plane immediately to serve as a means of transportation, let's walk around for a while and take a look.

Walking in the humid jungle, Mu Qing was not in a hurry.

If you follow the map, you can almost officially enter the interior of this huge mountain range.

Usually there are little demons on the periphery, but the highest is no more than a warrior. But what's inside...

Outside the safety barrier, it has always been a forbidden area for humans.

Whatever the reason, few dare to go out alone.

The commander, the monarch, is here. Everything is possible.

The tulle made of spiritual power walks around Mu Qing.

Suddenly stopping, Mu Qing raised a hand.

"Fire and burning!"

"boom!"

Along with a burst of flames, a huge black creature was knocked to the ground next to it, and a deep mark was pulled out on the ground.

"Pig demon?"

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and kicked the dying demon with his feet.

Although it was a little deformed by the fire, it must be a giant hyena.

"Tsk, I've finally met you."

Mu Qing clicked his tongue and took out a small knife from the pendant on his chest.

This is a magic tool that is so sharp that it can easily separate the skin of an ordinary general-level monster.

Several cuts were made on the pig's body, blood flowed out, and the smell of blood gradually dispersed.

Mu Qing thought for a while, then looked at the surrounding environment, and finally climbed up a big tree.

Using the Suzaku Pendant to completely block his aura, Mu Qing squatted down and waited quietly.

Not long after, several demons were attracted by the smell of blood.

It started with a few large rats, which looked like giant-eyed orangutan rats in the south, but they had a pair of eyes and were obviously not the same species.

Mu Qing did not take action and watched quietly.

A few minutes later, accompanied by waves of hoarse roars, Mu Qing slowly raised his eyebrows.

Looking in that direction, two giant hyena pigs came out roaring.

Several rats were scared away, leaving only half of the demon corpse.

Under Mu Qing's gaze, the two giant hyena pigs began to eat the bodies of their companions.

Mu Qing sneered, shook his head, stood up and looked in the direction from which the two demons came.

Such monsters usually appear in groups.

Finally, he took another look at the two monsters at his feet, thought for a few seconds, raised his hand and threw it down with anger.

After finishing everything, Mu Qing quietly walked toward the jungle in the direction they had just come from.

Along the way, Mu Qing could smell a foul smell from time to time. It was definitely the breath of a demon. . .

There was a noise in the jungle in the distance, and Mu Qing's shielding aura passed around it from the other side.

Several pig monsters gathered together and pointed at something with their fangs.

Mu Qing frowned and looked carefully...

"........."

Underneath the crowded demons were several bloody corpses.

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, but in the end he could only shake his head with some pity.

They looked like colleagues. They should be part of the demon-hunting team that went out to perform missions in the field just like him.
