Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

In the sky, a turbid cloud suddenly appeared.

From the appearance, it looks like a huge poisonous mushroom with an irregular surface. The gray-black color is like polluted smoke, with an ominous atmosphere.

The edges of the poisonous mushrooms were jagged and seemed to have no fixed shape, but they expanded outward at an alarming speed, devouring the surrounding clear sky.

"Almost to Cairo."

Old Hala, the leader of the camel team, said: "The impact of this battle is too wide. We are likely to encounter some peripheral monsters before entering the city."

"Don't worry, as long as we are here, we will kill as many demons as they come!" Chocolate Brother Ferrero said.

"Oh, in a place like this, strength is no match for experience." Old Hal snorted coldly, "There are endless demons to kill. If you get caught in a demon wave, you'll just have to wait to be torn into pieces!"

"Yes, Old Hala is right!"

"I won't follow the camel team without Lao Hala!"

"With Lao Hala here, we will definitely be able to enter Cairo smoothly!"

Most of the camel caravans are merchants, and goods are always in short supply during wars. They can make a lot of money by taking risks and going back and forth.

Therefore, before entering the city, Lao Hala was closer than their biological father!

"What this old man said makes sense. Experience is the most important thing. I have too little actual combat experience." Heidi whispered.

Xu Fang shook his head: "Don't belittle yourself. No matter how experienced you are, if you are not strong enough, you will still fall over. The reason why this old man said this is nothing more than to show his importance and strive for some benefits."

Almost at the same time as Xu Fang spoke, Lao Hala told the merchants that the camel team needed to return the same way.

"There are snakes and scorpions on this route. Business is valuable, but life is even more valuable, brother!" Old Harla said.

"Double the bounty!"

"I, old Hala, am not a money-grubber."

"three times!"

"Look at you, there are snakes and scorpions in front of you, poisonous ones, very scary!"

"Four times! If you don't want to, just turn back. I won't make this deal!"

"Deal." Lao Hala shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I'm greedy for your money... the main thing is that I'm here, and I have to send you in no matter what."

Heidi heard the conversation between the two and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Xu Fang smiled and said, "Not used to it?"

"A bit..." Heidi is an honest child and is completely unfamiliar with these routines.

"You'll get used to it after seeing it often. These days, to sell tea, I still have to talk about my farmer grandfather."

"Oh." Heidi nodded. Before she could finish digesting it, she heard the businessmen saying to the students from European universities:

"You are all top students from European universities. I am a businessman doing small business, and all my wealth is on this batch of goods. Can you please take care of me, please!"

The businessman's posture of bowing while sitting on the camel beast was a bit funny, and the fat on his belly was bulging.

But students in European universities are very fond of this.

"Don't worry, brother, everything is taken care of by me!"

"We are all high-level mages. Isn't it more than enough to protect your goods?"

"We are friends when we meet each other. If there is danger, we will take action!"

For a time, both parties were harmonious and the atmosphere was extremely good.

"There shouldn't be any tricks this time, right?" Heidi looked at Xu Fang, feeling uncertain when she said this.

Xu Fang hesitated.

"Just say it, I can accept it," Heidi said.

"Then let me say that the reason why businessmen invite students from European universities to take action is, on the one hand, for safety, and on the other hand, to reasonably squeeze out the bonuses of hiring mages. Look over there."

Xu Fang pointed, and Heidi looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw a group of people from the mercenary team with straight faces, as if someone owed them two million, and they were saying things like, "Students are useless" and "If anything happens, you have to look to the mercenary team."

The heart of the honest child Heidi was greatly impacted.

"Don't be so depressed. There are still many good people in this world. For example, there is one right in front of you."

Xu Fang pointed at himself and showed a healthy smile.

Heidi: "..."

Even more frustrated!

······

The closer we got to Cairo, the damper the sand on the ground became, and the camel beast's big hooves gradually became useless, and its walking became slower.

"We'd better walk!" said Ferrero.

"No, no!" Lao Hala said quickly: "Snake demons and scorpion demons can sense the fluctuations of different creatures. They are not interested in camel beasts, but once they go to the ground, they will definitely chase after them!"

You can say that Lao Hala is greedy, but you cannot say that Lao Hala is good at it. After all, as a desert wanderer with the strength of an intermediate mage, you have to have your own abilities.

The oppressive and rolling black clouds were lying above everyone's heads. The clouds were rolling, and it seemed that heavy rain might pour down at any time and submerge the sea of ​​sand.

There was an indescribable stench in the air. It was different from the common smell of sand and dust in the desert, but a stronger and more pungent smell.

It seemed to be a scent mixed with decay and death.

This stench irritated everyone's nostrils. What's the difference between walking in this environment and having maggots in a sea of ​​dung?

"vomit!"

With a sound of retching, many women in the team took out the strange flower dew given by Ferrero and sprayed it on themselves several times.

The smell suddenly became complex and weird, making people want to sneeze.

"Everyone, be careful. There is Snake Mountain three kilometers ahead. Don't alert them!" Lao Hala said in a low voice.

"What is Snake Mountain?" Heidi asked curiously.

"I learned it before in the eighth class in the morning. The snake demon is a kind of social demon. A female demon is often entangled with seven or eight weak male demons, and several female demons will entangle a powerful male demon at the same time. Demon.

The female demon at the top and the male demon at the bottom, Wu Yao, either choose to make a living or just mess around. "

Xu Fang said casually, pointing in a certain direction in the distance.

Heidi has good eyesight, but at this time she would rather be so short-sighted as to wear beer-soled glasses!

snake!

A whole weird hill made of snakes!

Its outer contour is squirming, and from time to time there are pieces rolling and falling from it.

When Heidi thought of the scene where the snakes were constantly intertwined with each other that Old Harla had just described, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to take out her brain and clean it!

"Snake monsters are very sensitive to smells, but don't worry, we are heading against the wind, so they probably won't..."

On the other side, before Lao Hala finished speaking, his eyes widened instantly and his face became extremely pale.

What did he see?

The Snake Mountain has spread out and is coming in this direction!

"How, how is it possible!"

It was difficult for Lao Hala to accept what was happening before him, and he suddenly reacted:

"I understand! It's that kind of strange flower dew! That breath will attract all the female snakes. When the female snakes come, all the male snakes will follow!"

Of course Ferrero didn't want to take the blame and scolded him.

"Stop talking nonsense, give me as much strange flower dew as you have!" the mercenary captain Chad said coldly, while summoning his armored beast.

"Sorry, old man!"

He stroked the armored beast's head, and the people at the scene instantly understood what he meant. Chad clearly wanted to use the summoned beast of life and death to exchange for everyone's peace!

"Old Captain!" someone said unbearably.

"No need to say any more! Once you accept the task and get the money, you must be loyal to your responsibilities!"

Chad took a deep breath and was about to pour the strange flower dew on the armored beast.

At this moment, Xu Fang's voice sounded from the side: "Wait a minute!"
