Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Elsewhere on the main island, where there were the most invaders.

Bai Yan and her friend, Long Chen, were together with four other students. The group created some traps using special items that contained a lot of magic energy, instead of simple traps like spiked holes and other things. Since they were a group of rich young people, they can do that.

The group was solemnly observing the locations near the traps through the surveillance devices, as several groups of invaders began to come together to avoid the traps. Attackers were more likely to survive this way.

"Are you ready?" Long Chen asked with a solemn face, did she know that they needed to use all their strength to survive until the beacons were activated.

"Yes"

"When they enter the circle, we will activate the energy spheres and blow everything up. They are almost there. "Long Chen looked at the screen and spoke solemnly.

No one wanted to die at the time, they were still young and had a long life ahead of them.

"Just a little more"

The Return God Sect group was walking and analyzing the surroundings using the magicians of the element wood, earth, water, and wind. These elements were good for tracking certain types of things.

The wood was to check whether or not there was something wrong with the trees, the earth was to see the terrain, the wind was to check if there were any enemies around and the water was to check the humidity of the air. These things can reveal possible hidden enemies.

"Leader, I'm looking ten meters below the ground and I found nothing."

"There is nothing wrong with the trees."

"There are also no enemies around. The wind is normal and the humidity is correct within a radius of twenty meters "

"I see ... But don't let your guard down, several groups have been killed because these children have set up traps in various locations in Penghu, all the islands have deadly traps."

"If we can kill these children, we will gain a fortune !!"

"Yes. Each of them is worth a fortune. "

"I hope you kill them first before thinking about the loot. They've already killed dozens of members of our sect, we need to do the same and kill them all "

"Yes leader"

"Keep watching the surroundings, don't let your guard down"

The group walked a little before the mages of the earth and wood element stopped and raised their hands for everyone to stop.

"Leader, there is something wrong with this area. I can't say what it is, but I feel that something is wrong. "

"I feel it too. There must be some kind of trap around "

The three magicians had the same conclusion. As trained assassins, they had more acute senses than normal mages and their survival instincts were much better. If their instincts say something is wrong, it shows that something is really wrong.

"Leader, are we going to back off or move on?"

"We don't have time to waste, the only thing we can do is move on or we will be punished with death for going back on such an important mission."

"You two will stay looking at the terrain, while you will focus on looking at the trees. The rest will protect you. Just focus on analyzing the location to find the traps. "

"Yes leader"

"Leader, I will use my magical energy to shake the ground. This is to test whether there is something hidden or not "

"Try"

The two mages of the earth element placed their hands on the ground and closed their eyes, while the magician of the wood element did the same. A brown light shone from their bodies before penetrating the ground. The other mage had a green light.

After a while, the three opened their eyes.

"Leader, we couldn't find anything wrong with the location. We will scan up to fifty meters deep and a radius of ten meters from that point. There's nothing wrong."

"Leader, there is something wrong with those trees over there. I feel like there's something inside that tree "The wood mage pointed to a tree five meters away.

"I see ..." The person, who was the leader of the group, waved his hand. A fireball appeared and blew the tree to pieces.

A glow appeared shortly thereafter.

"Bring that thing over here," the leader ordered. The magician, who had the wind element, waved his hand. A strong wind blew and brought the item to the group.

"This is a medium quality wood essence. This item can be sold for a reasonable amount of money. " The leader was happy to find something like that. He did not think that this was something prepared by the students.

The essence of the wood was a crystalline sphere of light green color. This served to help the mage of the wood element to level.

"Check to see if there is anything wrong with this" Only a wood mage could check whether or not there was something wrong with the essence.

"No problem. It seems not even touched by anyone so far. This essence of wood was formed recently "The mage of the wood element confirmed after analyzing the sphere.

"We will keep this up for now. Let's continue"

"Yes"

Boooom !!!!!! Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But before the group could continue, something happened. A gigantic explosion and a roar were heard somewhere on the island.

A cloud of mushroom smoke was seen rising in the sky.

"What happened???!!!"

"It looks like someone is fighting in that area !!"

"Let's go!!!"

Piiiiii !!!!

The group members' communication device beeps after the explosion.

"Watch out!!!!! A rank 7 marine beast invaded the island !!!!! "

"A Crocodile Sea King invaded the island. Run !!!! "

Hearing the words: Rank 7 sea beast.

The group started to sweat cold. They looked at each other before running to the beach again. They would flee the island as soon as possible. The mission had completely failed with the appearance of the crocodile.

But the group failed to run long before they were ambushed.

"Watch out!!!!" The wood mage screamed. He realized something was wrong when he looked around. But it was too late.

"What happened ..." Before anyone could know what happened.

Two branches as thin as a finger swept the group horizontally and vertically. But the branch didn't push them back, they were cut in four. The bodies of the group members were cut by the branch. They didn't even have time to scream before they were killed.

Thirty meters away, Bai Yan's group was looking at the screen with solemn looks. They heard the words that came out of the communication device.

"What are we going to do now? A rank 7 sea beast is invincible at our current level. No one on this island can kill such a thing "

"The worst of all is that it was the Crocodile Sea King that invaded the island. This marine beast is known for its defensive and offensive power. "

"We will warn everyone before we regroup"

The group sent a message to all the other students, they talked about hearing that a rank 7 beast invaded the island, the Crocodile Sea King. They left shortly thereafter and did not even think of looking for something in the invaders' bodies.

…

News of the arrival of a rank 7 sea beast, the Crocodile Sea King, to the island was spread among students and invaders. The two sides started to avoid at all costs the place where the crocodile was at the moment.

Those who were in that place have already been killed by the crocodile. Against a rank 7 sea beast, anyone weaker than it would be killed quickly.

The invaders began to regroup on the beach while the students were gathering in the forest as before.

The two sides were deciding what to do next.

…

"Leader, what are we going to do ?? If we don't get out of here fast, the rank 7 sea beast will kill us. And there are only a few minutes left before those kids' beacons activate "

"I understand the situation. But this mission is very important for the sect and we cannot fail. I don't think we have any other choice ... "The leader thought for a while before making his decision. He took a compass and a bottle out of his pocket.

The red liquid inside the bottle was dropped on the compass. The compass started to glow and pointed in one direction.

"This liquid will not last long. We need to be quick !! " Leader started running in the direction pointed by the compass. The others followed.

Two hundred invaders remained on the main island, almost half were killed by the students, but they also killed several hundreds of students in return.

The group ran until they stopped at the beach on the other side of the island. The compass was pointing to the island in front of the main island.

"That is…"

"Is the compass pointing to that island ?? Leader, isn't that local rank 7 sea beast was?? "

"It looks like the sea beast has the item we're looking for. The compass moves like the sea beast moves. The mission failed, we have to go back and report on the matter "

"Yes"

The group left in a discouraged and heavy way. The mission was a total failure. None of them imagined that the mission would end so tragically.

Each began to jump on the beach and swim towards the east. They were going to the Empire of Japan.

…

Meanwhile…

"What are we going to do now ??"

"The members of the God Return Sect fled, they left the island" Someone commented after he showed the images to everyone.

"It looks like the item they're looking for is inside the crocodile. The compass they are using is pointing at the island where the crocodile is. "

These words shocked everyone, none of them believed that the God of Elements' equipment was inside the stomach of a sea beast. Some felt like going to the crocodile and getting the magic equipment.

But sanity got them back to normal. It was a joke that they thought they could defeat a rank 7 sea beast at their level. Even if all the students came together to attack, it would still be very difficult to hurt the crocodile.

The idea of ​​stealing magic equipment was quickly dismissed from their minds.

"But how did that item end up in the crocodile's stomach? Didn't Liu Yang take that item ?? "

"It looks like he threw away the God of Elements equipment and was eaten by the crocodile. I can't believe he threw away something like that. If I were him, I wouldn't have the courage to do that. "

…

No one commented on those words. It took a lot of courage and willingness to do what Liu Yang did.

"We can only pray that the Crocodile Sea King will leave the island, otherwise we will be killed. None of us have enough power to fight a rank 7 sea beast. Luckily, the flags are almost full and there are only five minutes left to activate "

"At least the invaders are gone ..."

Boooom !!!!!!!!!

Shake!!!!

An explosion occurred and the main island started to shake.
