Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 588 Willow Heart, Willow Tree Spirit

By the time Jiang Han sensed the spatial imprint on Mu Nujiao's body, Mu Nujiao had already engaged in combat with several warrior-level and a commander-level vine willow tree demon.

In terms of the destructive nature of magic alone, the three elements she awakened were naturally inferior to Jiang Han and the others, but she still possessed agility and defensive capabilities. Although she looked disheveled, fortunately she had not suffered any serious injuries.

"If this continues, we'll have to give up the competition once our magic energy runs out." Standing in the Kun Forest prison, Mu Nujiao looked solemnly at the vine and willow tree spirits surrounding her.

At this moment, the commander-level vine willow tree spirit once again swung several arm-thick willow branches at the Kun Forest prison protecting Mu Nujiao. The branches lashed out fiercely with a whooshing sound. Upon seeing this, Mu Nujiao quickly cast the mid-level magic Wind Coil Dragon Tornado.

After the pale blue star map was completed, a sudden gust of wind arose in front of Kunzhi Forest, creating a tornado several meters high, with pale blue wind blades constantly cutting through the incoming willow branches.

For a moment, the willow branches swung by the vine willow tree demon leader were unable to break through the tornado formed by the wind blades, and some willow branches were even cut off by the wind blades and fell to the ground.

"Roar!!!" Unable to capture Mu Nujiao directly, the tree demon leader let out an angry roar, commanding the warrior-level vine willow tree demons to destroy the Kun Forest prison.

These warrior-level vine willow tree spirits have been growing for nearly a hundred years. The sharpness of their willow branches is no less than that of the claws of some warrior-level demons. Therefore, under the combined attack of several vine willow tree spirits, the Kun Forest Prison soon showed signs of collapse again. Mu Nujiao had no choice but to inject magic energy again to reinforce the prison's defenses, which were about to collapse.

From the moment she encountered the first tree spirit until now, Mu Nujiao's magical energy has been nearly depleted. If this continues, her life will be in danger soon. Therefore, Mu Nujiao has no choice but to accept the outcome of being eliminated early.

"I might be the first Chinese team member to be eliminated, right?" Mu Nujiao shook her head with a wry smile and then took out a spatial scroll.

Just as Mu Nujiao was about to tear open the spatial scroll and leave, the sky was suddenly dyed crimson, followed by a continuous stream of scorching heat emanating from the air.

A huge crimson constellation had somehow formed in the sky, turning countless white clouds crimson, like fiery clouds at sunset.

"Heavenly Flame Funeral - Hellfire Stone!!"

Countless enormous meteorites, burning with black flames, crashed down on the forest below, their primary targets being the tree spirits besieging Mu Nujiao. The meteorites struck the forest like cannonballs, igniting large numbers of trees. The black flames, like those spewed by hellfire demons, continuously burned the trees, even incinerating the unfortunate sleeping tree spirits.

Mu Nujiao was able to hold out against these tree demons until Jiang Han arrived thanks to the special abilities of her plant-type spirit seeds, which accelerated her magic energy recovery. Apart from that, she only had some defensive magic tools and magic-related items.

"Roar!!!" Nearly a hundred willow branches, each as thick as an adult's thigh, instantly shot out from the body of the commander-level tree demon, attempting to block the meteorite burning with black flames that was crashing down on it.

The willow branches of the leader-level tree demon are tempered with the life essence within its own body over many years, making them exceptionally hard. They can easily pierce through ordinary demons of the same level and devour their life and flesh. But this time, it is not dealing with those demons, but with a meteorite burning with hellfire!

boom!!!

The meteorite-level tree demon ultimately couldn't withstand the attack, smashing half of its body to pieces. Immediately afterward, the black flames attached to the meteorite began to scorch its remains.

"Hehe~~~!!!"

The commander-level tree demon, instantly and severely injured, began to groan in pain. It wouldn't be long before it was burned by the black flames. At that moment, Jiang Han also fell from mid-air to the front of the Kun Forest prison.

"Jiang Han, I thought I'd never get to see you again!" Mu Nujiao released the defenses of the Kunzhi Forest prison and then threw herself into Jiang Han's arms, saying excitedly.

"I'm a little late, I'm sorry." Jiang Han hugged Mu Nujiao's delicate body and gently stroked her back, comforting her softly.

"Let's deal with these tree spirits first. I've discovered that this place is very likely the lair of the vine willow tree spirits." Mu Nujiao calmed herself down and then crawled out of Jiang Han's arms.

"The lair of the tree demon? I wonder what treasures are hidden here." Jiang Han said, looking at the tree demon leader who was now only half-destroyed and still burning.

"Willow Heart: Tree spirits over a hundred years old can nurture plant-type treasures called Willow Heart. This treasure can not only accelerate the cultivation of plant-type mages, but also has a very good healing effect and is an ingredient in many healing potions." Mu Nujiao's knowledge of demon theory is quite solid, although it is still a bit inferior to that monstrous little girl Lingling.

"There are such treasures? I wonder how many tree spirits over a hundred years old live in this forest."

Jiang Han really didn't know about the Willow Heart treasure. Although he did well in his demon theory class, he arrived in a hurry and didn't recognize the race of the vine willow tree demon that he had annihilated with the Heavenly Flame Funeral.

Now that Mu Nujiao said this, he was a little reluctant to leave. At least he wouldn't leave until he had collected all the hundred-year-old willow wood hearts. If he left now, wouldn't he be making a huge loss?

Mu Nujiao specializes in plant-based cultivation, as does the rabbit Ai Tutu. If they could collect more willow wood hearts, it would significantly boost their cultivation speed. Who knows, maybe they'd get excited and let him experience it...

Cough cough cough, he's a gentleman, how could he possibly use a favor to curry favor? So he collected these willow wood hearts purely to help the two women improve their cultivation speed.

While Jiang Han and Mu Nujiao were chatting, the tree demon leader, who had been severely injured by the Heavenly Flame Funeral, had been burned to ashes, leaving only a green crystal full of life in the ashes.

"This is willow heartwood? It has a strong life force, no wonder it can be used to make healing potions." Jiang Han stepped forward and picked up the green willow heartwood, instantly feeling the surging life force within the crystal.

"Yes, this is only a hundred years old. Besides that, there are willow heartwoods that are a thousand years old or even ten thousand years old."

"Hundred-year-old willow heartwood is more common, while thousand-year-old willow heartwood can only be conceived by tree spirits that have lived for more than a thousand years. Although it is rare, it is not too rare. In the past, there have been reports of thousand-year-old willow heartwood appearing in the world's top auction houses. As for ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood, the tree spirits that conceive it are beyond the ability of ordinary mages to deal with, and there are often top-level demons guarding its living area."

"Tree spirits that have lived for ten thousand years often possess remarkable intelligence. They select demons with good bloodlines and cultivate them into guards, mainly to deal with humans or other demons that attempt to devour the willow heart within them." Mu Nujiao began to explain the relevant information about willow heart to Jiang Han.
