A Space Scroll, tsk tsk tsk, the organizers of the tournament are seriously generous. I bet not many of us have something like that, "Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"Is it very, very expensive?" Mofan asked.
"It's not about how expensive it is, it's about the production rate. Not many Space Mages can make a scroll like that, and it's rare to find a private owner," Zhao Manyan said.
"We are going to be scattered in the formation. Let's try our best to regroup. Otherwise, we won't be able to claim anything good if we stumble into too many people from other countries," Jiang Yu said.
Almost every member of the national team was participating in the treasure hunt. Each team had ten people, so there were a total of one hundred and sixty people representing sixteen different countries.
After explaining the rules, the students began to enter the Space Magic Formation one after another.
The members were shuffled into the formation, and the order in which they entered the formation was different. Most interestingly, among the one hundred and sixty students, Mofan was the first to draw the lot. He was the first member of the national team from China to enter the formation.
Mofan was quite curious about where the other end of the formation would lead to. Was it an independent space, or a special place sealed off in Italy? However, since the participants of the treasure hunt were from the Hunter Union, it was most likely a test of the students' capabilities in the wild!
It was necessary for Mages to be skilled in the wild. After all, humans' greatest enemy was demon creatures. The outcome of a duel between students did not mean anything. Only those who could defeat demon creatures and survive in harsh environments were considered the real experts of the world!
…
Mofan soon sensed the space around him twisting as soon as he entered the formation.
Luckily, it was not Mofan's first time riding a Space Shuttle. He calmly closed his eyes, just so he would not be blinded by the turbulence.
"Buzz ~"
Following a buzz, Mofan, who was standing in front of the crowd just a second ago, suddenly vanished into the spatial runes. It happened so quickly that it felt like the blink of an eye …
Mofan was a Space Magician, after all. He knew how to deal with the turbulent flow of space, so he wouldn't be tormented by it.
All the spatial transformations happened in the blink of an eye. When Mofan opened his eyes, the arena in front of him had disappeared. He could no longer see the sky of Venice, nor the sea of spectators …
The murky gray sky was twisting strangely. It looked like a huge, dark oil painting was imprinted on the top of their heads. It was a bit unreal.
The land was rugged and undulating. There were towering mountain peaks, black forests in front of them, rivers that flowed against the current, and valleys that constantly emitted heart-palpitating cries …
Mo Fan scanned his surroundings with an indescribable sense of strangeness.
Although there were mountains, water, and sky in this environment, it felt as if it was randomly pieced together by an artist without logic. It was very different from the visual coherence of real nature!
"This must be an independent space!" Mofan was not unfamiliar with this strange world.
When he first entered the Dark Abyss, it was just as strange, making him feel uncomfortable. Luckily, the sky was not made up of corpses like the Dark Abyss, apart from looking a little out of place.
The Corpse Sea Canopy … Mofan still had lingering fears when he recalled the scene in the Dark Abyss!
Every independent space had an end. If he were to stand at a high point, he would be able to see the end of this independent world. Furthermore, the competition authorities would not choose an infinitely large area for the students to compete in. If they did, it would be difficult for them to ensure the safety of the students, let alone know what was going on inside.
"Yike ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
A few eagle cries came from above. Mofan raised his head and looked at the Observer Eagle that was hovering about a hundred meters above him.
"So that's a drone with a camera?" Mofan raised his head and smiled at the Observer Eagle.
The Observer Eagles were a kind of tool used by the military. Similar to the Wicked Eye Copper Mirror, they were able to transmit everything the Observer Eagles saw through light magic and display it on a device, turning it into a video.
Since the whole world was witnessing the competition, it went without saying that the students would not be allowed to participate in the treasure hunt by themselves. The Observer Eagles were running around in the independent space, providing a live broadcast of the competition. The people were able to observe the performance of the students through the Observer Eagles.
The Observer Eagles had already been set up beforehand. They would follow the students closely. On one hand, they would act as cameras, and on the other hand, they would ensure the safety of the students.
When Mofan discovered that there were quite a number of these Observer Eagles in the sky, Mofan could not help but wonder if the treasure hunt should be named Running, Magician?
However, a competition was still a competition. Even though the environment was very similar to the wild, the organizers must have done something to set it up, thus there were still some traces left behind. However, he had no idea how many demon creatures were residing in the independent space. The only thing that could pose a threat to the students' lives was the demon creatures.
Mofan looked around him, but he could not find a single direction.
The advisors had specifically told him to regroup with the other members as soon as possible after entering the place. That way, they would be able to maximize their chances of securing the treasures. There was no way the organizers would just leave the treasures lying on the ground …
Unfortunately, Mo Fan had no idea where his teammates were. He had no choice but to walk forward aimlessly, going wherever he wanted to go.
"Little Loach, show me what you've got. Help daddy find something good!" Mofan murmured to the pendant on his chest.
Little Loach did not emit any light, implying that there was nothing in the distorted land that caught its attention.
Ever since Little Loach had eaten the Deathless Lotus, it had not reacted to anything else that Mofan had encountered.
Mofan could not rely on Little Loach. He had no choice but to search on his own.
Without realizing it, Mofan had arrived at the dark woods where the trees were growing at a weird angle. Mofan glanced at the strange woods and asked Little Flame Belle, "Are you sure your little mommy is here?"
"Ling, ling!" Little Flame Belle nodded heavily.
Little Flame Belle had recognized Xinxia as her mommy, thus Mu Ningxue had become her mommy.
Unfortunately, Little Flame Belle was not fond of Mu Ningxue's icy aura. As such, Little Flame Belle never got close to Mu Ningxue. However, Little Flame Belle was quite sensitive to Mu Ningxue's aura. She could sense it from a great distance away.
If Little Flame Belle said that Mu Ningxue was here, it was most likely the case.
He decided to find Mu Ningxue first, so Mofan could relax and wander around the place!
…
"Strange, this dark woods doesn't seem very big. Why do I feel like I can't get out of here …" Mofan realized that he was still in the dark woods after walking for some time.
He was surrounded by withered old trees. Their leaves had withered, and their crowns were damaged. The presence of darkness was quite strong, too.
Mofan was sure that he was not in a bewildering world. He could easily tell the difference with his Shadow Element.
If the dark woods were not a bewildering world, it meant that the dark woods were compressed. Therefore, when he looked at it from afar, it was extremely huge when he stepped into it. He could not see the end of the woods within a short period of time.
"Huhuhu ~"
Gusts of wind mixed with frost drifted toward him from the distance. This time, Mofan knew it was Mu Ningxue's scent even without Little Flame Belle's help. She was right ahead.
Mofan turned into a shadow and weaved through the dark woods rapidly. He finally saw Mu Ningxue in a long robe when he reached a place where the woods were denser.
"Xue Xue … huh, why are you surrounded by trees?" Mofan stood on the trunk of an old tree and asked in confusion.
Mu Ningxue was surrounded by a circle of trees. They were frozen in ice, but they formed a tree cage, trapping Mu Ningxue in the center.
"Watch out, these trees can move!" Mu Ningxue immediately reminded Mofan.
Before Mofan could realize what was going on, he saw two sharp branches stabbing at him. It was the old tree that he was standing on!
Mofan immediately leapt into the air. Before he could adjust his posture in the air, he saw a giant claw swinging at him from the side, knocking him flying.
"BANG BANG!!!"
Mofan rolled a few times on the ground. His bones were hurting from the fall.
Luckily, his body was sturdy. Any other Magician would have broken a few bones by now.
"Damn it!" Mofan turned around and saw the old trees he was standing on had uprooted themselves. They were wriggling on the ground with their roots. The branches were their weapons. Some of them looked like skeletal claws, thin and long, while others were as sharp as spears!
"I'm going to burn them all with fire!" Mofan cursed angrily.
"There are a lot of them. Don't be so impatient, you'll only attract more of them," Mu Ningxue advised him.
"What should we do? We can't just let them beat us around like ping pong balls," Mofan said.
"There's a Commander Black Tree Spirit. There's a Primary Crystal at the entrance of its tree hole. The organizer must have placed it there," Mu Ningxue said.
"A Primary Crystal! That's some good stuff! "Mofan's eyes glittered.
Mofan had found a Primary Crystal in the Rift Valley of the Luna Demon Cliff. It was worth two to three hundred million.
Mofan did not expect Mu Ningxue to find out that Mu Ningxue had already found the treasure.
"Do you need my help? Or can you handle it on your own?" Mofan asked.
"Let's do it together. Let's get it done quickly. The others are already splitting the loot," Mu Ningxue said.
"Your ice control is strong, I'll deal with the boss tree spirit …" Mofan immediately split the work with Mu Ningxue.
