Chapter 120: Raiders of the Lost Treasure
"It's you!" Lan, accompanied by two mages, immediately recognized Ye Beiming.
"You're indeed here for the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng," Ye Beiming narrowed his eyes. The three opponents were formidable, and with only Chen Lianlian by his side, they were no match for them in terms of strength.
"We originally had no intention of fighting for the Purple Ginseng, but just now, we noticed a purple auspicious aura above the wetland, so we came to have a look," Lan and the others were unaware of the appearance of the Purple Ginseng within the Luoxia Wetland.
However, the presence of a purple auspicious aura in nature suggests that there must be a treasure or Divine-level medicinal herb appearing.
Although the Mainland Magic Elite Camp is the top establishment on the continent, if a Divine-level medicinal herb appears, it is inevitable that there will be a struggle to claim it.
Bringing back a Divine-level medicinal herb, according to the rules of the Elite Camp, it is very likely they will get the chance to enter the Secret Magic area once.
This is an opportunity that Lan would never be willing to give up.
"You are not my match, and if that female mage were here today, you might have had a chance, too bad…" Lan glanced at Chen Lianlian.
It's hard to gauge Ye Beiming's strength, but at the moment he is burdened with a companion as useless as a pig.
In contrast, all three members from our side are from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp; during regular training, their coordination is impeccable. Even when facing opponents with double their strength, they can maintain an undefeated position.
Unless Ye Beiming's strength had reached a Sky Level magician or Martial Marquis Level expert.
But his age is too young; at his age, it's not possible for him to have reached such cultivation.
"What did you say?! You think I can't match Yun Sheng! What's so great about her, I'm also a Great Magic Director, just like her!" Chen Lianlian flared up at once.
What does she lack compared to Yun Sheng? In terms of appearance and cultivation, she has studied for many years at the Royal Magic Academy, it's impossible for her to be inferior to a newcomer like Yun Sheng.
"You are not worthy to face me," Lan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and the magic wand in her hand emitted a dazzling light.
Chen Lianlian had no power to fight back and was sent flying by a sharp light.
"Hold him off for me; I'll go pick the Purple Ginseng," the Purple Ginseng can not only be used to refine finished medicine but can also be used to make Magic Medicine.
Lan quickly began chanting, her movement technique a blur, and in the next moment, she was already stepping over the marsh.
The two mages by her side also started chanting immediately.
"Seal!" The mage skilled in sealing magic began to chant rapidly towards Ye Beiming.
His high-level sealing magic could not only temporarily seal the enemy's magic chanting but also immobilize a martial artist's movement technique.
But Ye Beiming is hardly an ordinary martial artist who could be matched. His strength is even above that of Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao.
Using an unknown movement technique underfoot, Ye Beiming stepped out a series of afterimages, avoiding the magic attack. With a punch from each hand, the two mages felt as though they had been struck by heavy blows to the chest and were sent flying.
"Wind Chanting, Wind Bind," Ye Beiming chanted, and a faint green Wind Element wrapped around Lan.
"You actually possess Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts," Lan had long seen that Ye Beiming was not an ordinary martial artist.
But Lan was well-prepared; with a tap of her magic wand on the wetland, Water Magic Element quickly seeped into the ground, and the solid ground instantly turned muddy.
Ye Beiming's body sank downward without the slightest hesitation.
A cold breath spread out from under his feet.
The wetland, which was originally mire and swampy, instantly became a frozen piece of land.
"Good, another Multi-element Mage!" Lan fought more valiantly as the battle progressed. She leaped up, her Magic Wand in hand, with the Magic Soul Stone emitting an intimidating glow.
The two fought on for several exchanges, yet for a time, they could not determine who was superior.
How can this person's Magic Cultivation be so formidable?
Lan had always considered herself among the top fighters within the Continent Elite Magic Camp, but now she was struggling against Ye Beiming and not gaining much advantage, which came as a surprise to her.
Could it be, this young Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts before her had Magic Cultivation on par with a Holy Mage?
Lan couldn't help but laugh at her own thought; it was impossible. If the opponent truly possessed such a gift, why hadn't he been selected for the Magic Elite Camp?
That should be where true geniuses convene.
Meanwhile, the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng began emitting an intoxicating fragrance. The two Continent Elite Magic Camp Mages who had been entangling Ye Beiming were already at their wits' end facing Demon Beasts nearly driven mad by the scent.
"Get lost!" Ye Beiming was nearer to the Purple Ginseng when several Sixth to Seventh Rank Demon Beasts pounced toward him.
Lan seized the opportunity to rush forward, nearly grasping the Purple Ginseng.
"Bobo, ugly woman, the Purple Ginseng belongs to our master!" Just as Lan's hand was about to touch the Purple Ginseng, a powerful repelling force came from behind her.
Thinking it was an ambush, Lan swung her Magic Wand and launched a Magic Attack toward the assailant.
An egg?!
Lan was startled when she saw the attacker clearly.
What did she see? An egg with wings?
Ye Beiming also spotted the Bobbie, but he felt a surge of joy. The Bobbie's unique shape was unmistakable; he remembered clearly, it was Yun Sheng's unique Summoned Beast.
Even more shocking was that the egg's movement technique was remarkably agile. It darted and dodged swiftly in the air, avoiding Lan's Magic Attack, which she took pride in.
How could it be possible? That was her always successful Magic Attack?
Lan's moment of hesitation, that deadly hesitation, allowed the Bobbie to hit her with an unceremonious Bobo Thousand-Pound Fall.
Lan felt an immense force assailing her, as if weighed down by a thousand pounds. She sank into the mire, pinned down by the Bobbie.
"Bobbie, well done, you'll be credited for this," cheered a voice in pleasure.
With an Earth Escape, Yun Sheng avoided several Demon Beasts lunging at him and, under Ye Beiming's gaze, quickly stepped up to the fully matured Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng.
During that brief skirmish, the already near-mature Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng finally ripened.
The fire-red floral crown on the ginseng's head burst out with blinding red light, forming a beam that pierced the sky as if it were a sharp sword.
This sudden appearance of the red light column was visible for miles around.
And it was then that Yun Sheng's hand touched the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng, its leaves resembling Jade.
Ye Beiming's expression suddenly changed; almost at the same time, Yun Sheng also felt something amiss.
The world grew abruptly darker, as if the sky itself was about to collapse.
