Versatile Mage: The Young Master of Zhou Family

After entering the tunnel, the group had walked for roughly over a hundred meters.

At that moment, the Flame Scorpion Tiger seemed to sense something. It stopped and became alert, letting out low growls from its maw.

Everyone instantly became vigilant — powerful summoned beasts possessed a certain level of perception ability.

"Stay alert, this place is the Cave Servants' nest," Zhou Haoyu turned back and said to the group.

"Cave Servants?"

"A nest?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then expressions of fear appeared on their faces.

Usually they barely saw even one or two demons; yet now they had barged straight into a demon nest?

Let alone the others, even Mo Fan, who had experienced the Bo City calamity, felt his heart skip a beat.

If they were surrounded by demons, with their meager cultivation they would find it hard to even survive.

"Don't panic just because you heard the word 'nest'. In a moment, I'll lead you out of this tunnel. All you need to do is one thing ― don't fall behind," Zhou Haoyu said seriously.

Zhou Haoyu didn't plan on using Spiritual Force Telekinesis here, after all, Lu Zhenghe might very well inform his big brother.

With the Flame Scorpion Tiger's strength, breaking through with the group posed no difficulty.

After hearing Zhou Haoyu's plan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhou Haoyu charging in front, there shouldn't be much danger.

"Mo Fan, Lu Zhenghe, release your two little wolves. In a moment, charge with me," Zhou Haoyu then looked toward Mo Fan and Lu Zhenghe as he spoke.

Although the Flame Scorpion Tiger was powerful, it couldn't possibly stop all of the Cave Servants. Adding Mo Fan's Swift Star Wolf and Lu Zhenghe's Striped Violent Wolf should make it just about enough.

As for Zheng Bingxiao's contract beast — just a stone man — it wasn't suited for spearheading a charge at all.

Lu Zhenghe looked somewhat reluctant. Taking the vanguard undoubtedly meant more danger.

However, in awe of Zhou Haoyu's strength, he obediently summoned the Striped Violent Wolf.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, was straightforward and simply released the Swift Star Wolf.

The others, seeing the two Warrior-level beasts at the front, immediately gained a great deal of confidence.

Zhou Haoyu didn't forget to pull Mu Ningxue to his front. In this situation, Mu Ningxue did not mind.

Mu Nujiao saw this scene and a trace of envy flickered in her beautiful eyes.

"Charge!"

Zhou Haoyu wrapped an arm around Mu Ningxue's waist and urged the Flame Scorpion Tiger deeper into the tunnel.

Mo Fan and Lu Zhenghe followed closely behind. The Swift Star Wolf and Striped Violent Wolf were positioned to the left and right rear of the Flame Scorpion Tiger.

Zhou Haoyu controlled the Flame Scorpion Tiger's speed to ensure that the people behind would not be left behind.

Located within a nest, the others didn't hold back their strength anymore: some activated Runic Magic Equipment, others raised Shield Magic Equipment.

While running, Zhao Manyan and Song Xia also didn't forget to cast illuminating to both sides.

Under the combined illumination of flames and Light illumation everyone finally saw what was on both sides of the tunnel.

Dense vines intertwined into a net, and within the gaps between those vines, pairs of bluish ghostly eyes seemed embedded into the cave walls.

All of them carried a crazed look at the sight of prey.

Upon seeing this, a few timid people couldn't help but shiver.

The Cave Servants, upon seeing prey, struggled out of the vines and gripped thick bone clubs in their hands.

"Ahh!! Meee!!!"

One ear-piercing shriek after another rang out from all directions, echoing throughout the entire tunnel. Countless hunched, grotesque Cave Servants charged toward the group.

The Flame Scorpion Tiger opened its maw wide and suddenly spewed a massive wave of flames. The flames engulfed both the vines and the Cave Servants.

With that single move, more than a dozen Cave Servants were burned to death.

"Purple Firmament — Thunderbolt — Yaksha!!"

Zhou Haoyu rapidly drew a Star Map, and a thick violet bolt split into over a dozen chain-lightnings which struck down upon several Cave Servants' heads.

The chain-lightning penetrated straight from the head through their entire bodies.

"Bang!!!"

A series of explosions erupted, and those Cave Servants instantly turned into a rain of blood.

"Brother Yu, you're awesome!" Zhao Manyan shouted from the bottom of his heart.

In such a critical moment, Zhou Haoyu really was the most reliable!

"That Star Map drawing speed is insane… could he be using some kind of Magic Tool to augment it?"

Mo Fan turned his head to look at Zhou Haoyu, doubt instantly surfacing in his heart — that Star Map had been drawn at least twice as fast as his own.

With the Flame Scorpion Tiger, Swift Star Wolf, and Striped Violent Wolf clearing the way ahead, the group soon saw a sliver of light.

That meant the exit was near!

Everyone pushed themselves, picking up speed even more.

The moment they burst out of the tunnel, everyone's hanging hearts finally settled down.

Actually, those Cave Servants weren't truly terrifying, but in such a narrow tunnel, once surrounded, accidents were prone to happen.

The Cave Servants apparently realised Zhou Haoyu's group was not to be trifled with, so they did not chase after them.

"First check the headcount — is anyone injured?" Zhou Haoyu asked while looking at the group.

Xu Dalong and Song Xia respectively counted; no one had gone missing.

Except for Xiaofeng from Imperial Capital Academy having suffered a minor injury, everyone else seemed unharmed.

"Thanks to you lot taking most of the pressure in front, otherwise it definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Song Xia said to Zhou Haoyu.

She originally had some grievances toward him, but now her whole opinion had changed.

Not only was Zhou Haoyu strong, he also had the sense of responsibility befitting a captain.

As a student of Imperial Capital Academy, instead of tripping them up, Zhou Haoyu had actually looked after them generously.

Zhou Haoyu did not respond but reminded everyone, "Out here in the wilderness, this was only an appetizer — you'd all better be mentally prepared."

The group had been feeling rejoicing after surviving the danger, but upon hearing that sentence, their expressions collapsed again.

"With Brother Yu here, we'll definitely complete the mission smoothly," Zhao Manyan said with a grin.

Zhou Haoyu glanced at him—this guy must've brought some Advanced Magic Equipment as protection, which was why he didn't take the dangers of the wilderness seriously at all.

He always acted lazy and carefree.

"Captain is from our Imperial Capital Academy, so once we complete the mission, our university will definitely receive a higher final training evaluation score."

Qingqing lifted her chin with a bit of pride.

Zhou Haoyu simply shook his head; why care so much about that score — it would skew the meaning behind everyone's efforts.

"Enough about that. It's getting late; we should find a place to rest first," Song Xia suggested.

"Your magic energy must have been consumed quite a lot — a proper rest is indeed necessary," Zhou Haoyu said.

He hadn't used up much magic energy himself, but nighttime in the wilderness was even more dangerous, and he couldn't possibly protect each person at once.

To avoid getting lost, they located an open area near the abandoned railway.

After confirming there were no demons residing nearby, everyone began pitching tents to rest.
