Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 560 - 558: The Miserable Fox-People
Chapter 560 -558: The Miserable Fox-People
Putting aside the incomprehensible for the time being, Ivan did not stop his pace.
Moments later, he saw a plain surrounded by mountains, with a steaming, boiling spring on the central peak, the hot air rising like a column of smoke into the sky.
From this mountain peak, Ivan sensed a different kind of aura, a wild brilliance that spread from above.
On the plain surrounding the mountain, there were traces of man-made structures, and from a distance, one could see the active fire fur mouse people and a few fire fur fox people.
Without exception, these fire fur fox people were all young.
Due to the generally shorter stature of the fire fur mouse people, even the young boys among the fire fur foxes did not seem shorter than the surrounding mouse people.
Besides the height, the fire fur fox people’s fiery red fur was exceptionally lush, especially on the tail, head, and arms—visible fur that was clearly brighter and more supple than that of the fire fur mouse people.
To Ivan, this was probably excellent material for making rune brushes.
“Hehe, the bloodline of these fire fur fox people is not very pure.”
“It seems something interesting has happened. There are no adult fire fur fox people here, where do you guess they have gone?”
Everyone present was smart and could hear the implications in the words, indicating that the adult fire fur fox people must have been captured and turned into tools for breeding.
Really, anything can happen—even the fire fur mouse people who have served the fire fur fox people for generations are unreliable!
“Should we meddle in this affair?” Tanaya seemed eager to try.
Her thought was simple: with Ivan backing her up here, it wouldn’t hurt to be a little reckless.
Ivan had no idea what she was thinking, and if he knew, he probably wouldn’t bring someone like her along next time.
“Meddling in affairs isn’t so easy.” Ivan shook his head slightly, his eyes closely watching the mountain peak in the center, as if exploring and weighing something.
“Aren’t you here?” Tanaya said presumptuously.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
“That’s true.” Ivan responded casually.
That so-called ‘peak’ was in fact a beast, its profound aura almost making him believe it was a lord-level creature. Only after careful discernment did he find a slight difference.
It was at a strength level similar to the Phantom Yin Spider he had encountered earlier.
“Wait here, the sorcerer will be back soon.”
Missing by an inch can lead to a difference of a thousand miles; this phrase aptly described the difference between some pseudo-lords and true lord-level beings.
After understanding the strength of the opponent, Ivan prepared to casually pull off an extraction, gathering a Sacrificial Heart silently while the beast was asleep and throwing it into the mountain without a ripple.
“Roar!”
At the critical moment, the beast sensed danger and woke up abruptly, its demeanor wildly frantic.
The mountain moved.
It turned out to be a turtle beast carrying rocky mountains and hot springs on its back.
Accompanied by the tinkling sound of metal clashing, a Mystic Black Chain wrapped around the vast body of the beast, firmly suppressing it.
“Not bad in terms of toughness.”
Under the suppression of the Mystic Black Chains, the boiling spring turtle continued to struggle forcefully without exhausting, and Ivan could not help but commend it secretly, decisively using his Star Soul Hand.
The Star Soul Hand silently entered the body of the boiling spring turtle, and this soul-striking technique immediately caused the turtle’s mind to become confused and its expression weakened.
The Sacrificial Heart took advantage of the victory in pursuit.
“Roar.”
The Boiling Springs Turtle let out a reluctant roar, quickly succumbing to the control of the Sacrificial Heart.
The major issue was resolved. Ivan waved over to the other side, signaling that Tanaya and others could start their operation, while he himself remained on top of the mountain.
‘Lu Lu Xiyu has good insight; this turtle indeed is a resistant creature, sharing many similarities with the spiritual lake power she spoke of.’
‘With the Boiling Springs’ interdimensional teleportation, once grown to a sufficiently high level, it can directly traverse numerous planes, looking down upon all lands.’
The two hidden locations are not close to each other, yet the boiling spring water can be transmitted through the geyser behind the creature, which highlights the uniqueness of this ability.
If researched deeply, it might aid in the development of the teleportation array.
This is also why Ivan chose to enslave the Boiling Springs Turtle rather than killing it outright.
Adding to that, Martin Kaspa’s knowledge of Spiritual Body field teleportation is also beneficial to the understanding of the teleportation array, and with such steady progress, he might actually achieve a breakthrough in that field.
Of course, such things cannot be rushed.
On the other side.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, under the oppression of Tanaya and Lu Lu Xiyu and others, the Fire-Qiu ratmen had no choice but to leave their dwellings, awaiting the arrangements of these unwelcome guests.
As for the disobedient ones, they would stay in their dwellings forever.
“Your Excellency, this has nothing to do with us! We don’t want to engage in such ignoble behavior, but that old turtle is ferocious. If we don’t listen to it, it will devour us one by one – at this rate, our clan would be extinct before long.”
Dylan, the leading Fire-Qiu ratman, was strong and sturdy, yet his face was now full of obsequiousness.
“Is this your reason for renouncing loyalty and keeping Fire-Qiu fox people as breeding tools?” Tanaya said ominously.
Even though Dylan, the Fire-Qiu ratman, had a robust physique, his ‘rat-like’ nature would inadvertently show in his speech, making him look rather comical.
It was easy to discern that teenagers like Mansa were prepared for the awakened Boiling Springs Turtle.
From birth to the present, their ultimate purpose of growth was to become a brutal beast’s meal, a fact that evoked pity in the hearts of Tanaya and the other women, who wished they could grind the Fire-Qiu ratmen to dust.
“Attack!”
Reason was futile. Dylan, the Fire-Qiu ratman, suddenly dropped his submissive manner and launched an attack at the delicate Lu Lu Xiyu. The speed of his assault was undeniably fast.
At this critical moment, Lu Lu Xiyu’s body turned into shadow, she swiftly moved to one side, causing the Fire-Qiu ratman’s attack to miss its target.
Following this, Lu Lu Xiyu now held a gray spear in her hand, with a chillingly sharp tip that extended rapidly towards Dylan. The spear swept by quickly, with droplets of blood splattering in the air.
“Master, save me!”
Startled, Dylan cried out in panic.
However, this action provoked the already disgruntled Boiling Springs Turtle, whose massive head reached down, and to Dylan’s secretly delighted eyes, swallowed him whole.
This sudden turn of events shattered the will of the remaining Fire-Qiu ratmen, leading to a total collapse of their side.
