Chapter 24 is coming!
Liao Mingxuan was tied up, but he kept shouting. In the end, they used his towel to gag him so as not to bother him.
"Mingcong has gone berserk, and Liao Mingxuan has revealed his narrow-minded nature. What exactly is going on?" Peng Liang asked in a low voice.
"Who knows? I guess after being out for so many days, there haven't been any entertainment options to relieve the stress, so he vented in this way," Zhao Manyan said.
"Old Yang, how about you try something to appease him?" Mo Fan suggested.
"Are they that familiar with me?" Yang Guang asked back. "We haven't even used our own people yet."
"That's true."
Afterwards, Mingzhu and her group gathered together, and Yang Guang used his emotional support to pour cold water on those who wanted to be "ambitious".
Those people immediately came to their senses, but their eyes held a hint of unease.
"Where did Mingcong go to get water just now?" someone asked.
"It should be the pool we encountered yesterday; that place isn't far from the church."
"It seems the problem lies with that pool; there must be some kind of bewitching magic there!" Zheng Bingxiao asserted.
"Who's going to scout it out?"
"It's so late at night, it must be Peng Liang, he's the only one with the Shadow element," Zhao Manyan said.
Peng Liang didn't say much. Dark stars arranged themselves into star trails around him, and he turned into a shadow as he headed out of the church.
Immediately after Peng Liang left, the atmosphere in the church suddenly became strange.
The people on Mingzhu's side subconsciously looked towards the capital and discovered that Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue were already controlling the stars and arranging their orbits.
Moreover, their target was Yang Guang and his group.
"Damn, it hasn't been that long and they've already been infected?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Lingyi - Soothe!
An invisible mental fluctuation spread out, restoring the people in the capital who had been affected to normal.
"What are we doing...?" Jingjing put her hands down, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"You've fallen for it too. There's some kind of bewitching magic around here," Mu Nujiao explained.
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for the fact that there was a mental mage in their team, they would have already started fighting each other.
About half an hour later, Peng Liang returned from outside.
He took several deep breaths and then recounted in detail what he had seen and heard at the pool.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and a surge of anger rose within them.
Damn it, there's someone from the Sixth Brother causing trouble!
Let's fucking kill it!
Peng Liang led the way, and everyone soon arrived at the pool.
First, the two ice mages forced the "pig" hiding in the pool to come out.
"It's the Bewitching Spider!" Jingjing exclaimed, her voice turning cold. "It's definitely this guy's doing!"
"Stop wasting time, just kill it!"
"Damn it, a mere warrior-level creature dares to resort to such underhanded tactics in front of us!"
With Yang Guang around, they weren't worried about being misled.
Moreover, spiders are known for their sinister and cold-blooded nature, and they have all sorts of strange hunting methods. They are also good at various traps, curses, poison attacks, and bewitching, which are abilities that make many creatures unable to defend against them!
A dozen or so people unleashed a barrage of mid-level magic on the Bewitching Spider, killing it beyond repair without even causing a ripple.
It was ultimately a warrior-level creature; facing a dozen or so mid-level mages, it was nothing more than a roadside creature.
The corpse of the bewitching spider was worthless, but Yang Guang kept the demon gall bladder and similar items.
The others didn't have any objections. If it weren't for him, they would probably have already started killing each other because of the bewitching spider's influence.
Of course, the remnant soul of the Bewitching Spider was collected by the little mudfish on Mo Fan's chest.
The appearance of the bewitching spiders made them realize that the danger here had far exceeded their expectations, and some members of the team began to back down.
However, there were no casualties, and everyone planned to continue the survey mission.
Back in the church, Mingcong and Liao Mingxuan had returned to normal, but because of their "genuine emotions" earlier, no one was welcoming to them, especially Liao Mingxuan.
……
After a day of rest, they planned to go to the next survey point the next day.
As soon as they stepped out of the church, they sensed a surge of lightning energy gathering above their heads.
"It's a level three lightning strike! Everyone, defend yourselves!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than a deafening roar echoed through the sky. It was already daylight, but as the pale lightning struck down fiercely, everything was illuminated to the extreme!
Seeing this, everyone quickly activated their own defensive techniques to withstand the barrage of level three lightning strikes.
After most of the attacks were blocked, they finally had time to look at the source of the magic.
Suddenly, a group of figures appeared in the grove of trees to the side. They were dressed in uniform and looked a bit strange, but they still belonged to the military mages.
The group consisted of twenty or thirty people, each accompanied by a giant, snow-white eagle—these were the military's trained eagles.
"Why, why would the military sorcerer try to kill us?!" Jingjing's tone was tinged with questioning, but even more so with disbelief and terror.
"Their uniforms are strange, and they don't have collar insignia or shoulder insignia," Zhao Manyan said.
"Big brother, what are you doing? They are all trainees who trained with me!" Lu Zhenghe couldn't believe that the person in front of him was his older brother, Lu Nian.
On the eve of his departure, Lu Nian approached him, saying that there was a specific mission to be completed and that he needed to leave a signal along the way. Lu Zhenghe agreed without hesitation.
However, he now realized that this so-called targeted mission was actually to slaughter them!
"You idiot, get over here right now!" Lu Nian shouted.
"Still trying to run?" Yang Guang grabbed Lu Zhenghe and pressed the dagger he was carrying against his neck.
Mo Fan, being his best friend, immediately understood. His fist, enveloped in flames, stopped less than an arm's length from Lu Zhenghe's head.
Feeling the dagger's coldness and the flames' heat, Lu Zhenghe panicked instantly. "B-Big Brother, save...save me..."
"You bastard, tell your men to stop, or you'll watch your brother turn into barbecue!" Mo Fan roared.
Lu Nian frowned; he had been too hasty.
In his eyes, they were just a group of students who had never experienced real fighting or real war, and would only have their minds go blank in the face of such a situation.
Lu Zhenghe is stupid enough to call someone "big brother". Now he has not only exposed his identity, but he has also been taken hostage!
"Interesting." Lu Nian waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop.
