Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage - Chapter 37: Being Watched
Inside the monitoring room, Wang Liang was looking at the screen showing the images of Liu Yang’s group, he and Liu Xia were the students who piqued his interest. One reason is that he has been approved by the teacher named Cao Wen, and the other is because she has a master’s control of the elements, which is also why Liu Xia has caught his attention. Luckily, they were both a couple, and it was easier to watch them both.
“Commander, look. It looks like this group has found an adult Verdant Snake and it looks like the snake is almost reaching rank 3 for now, the snake is only in rank 2 and is equivalent to a level 9 intermediate mage. This is going to be dangerous. Commander, what are we going to do? “One of the soldiers asked.
“Keep Watching” Wang Liang was also paying attention to Yao Mu’s group.
When they saw Liu Xia attack with her ability to try to immobilize the snake, the soldiers understood that the group was able to locate the camouflaged snake.
Then all the members attacked the snake’s head together, it made it furious and went out of hiding to see its prey. The next scene was Yao Mu and the other students running away, leaving only Liu Yang and Liu Xia in place.
“Interesting, it looks like this couple intends to fight the Verdant Snake” Wang Liang praised, he was surprised to see that Liu Yang and Liu Xia were willing to fight the snake, but how? He didn’t know, because the gap between the two sides was too large.
According to the information that Wang Liang received from the East School, Liu Yang was just a level 5 novice mage, while Liu Xia was a level 1 intermediate mage. Even using magical equipment, the two would have no chance against the Verdant Snake.
“Commander, do you think the couple has a chance of winning this fight?” A soldier asked curiously.
“I do not know. The two may just be trying to buy time for the others to run away, and they must run away later. Let’s keep watching and see what they will do. “That was Wang Liang’s opinion.
Then the images showed Liu Xia running first to somewhere, Liu Yang attacked the snake and started running in the same direction that Liu Xia had gone.
But a surprising thing happened soon after, when the little robot that was transmitting the images arrived near where Liu Yang and Liu Xia were, the images disappeared from the screen, the screen went black and the soldiers went into shock.
“What happened??!!!”
“Why did the images disappear ?? !!!!”
“Commander, something wrong may have happened !!”
…
“Keep calm!! Let’s keep watching. We don’t have to worry about that. “Wang Liang said solemnly, he realized that someone had done something with the camera or a barrier was raised to prevent the camera from the record.
(Looks like the couple is hiding something… They must have done it so that no one saw what they were doing, what are they going to do? Do they have enough power to defeat the snake?) These thoughts came to mind Wang Liang when he thought about it.
A few minutes later, the images came back.
The only things they could see were the destroyed trees, the flat ground and a large hole in the ground. Blood was scattered and the giant snake’s body was completely cut and skinless, the head was opened and something inside was removed, the belly was cut long and all the organs were cut and missing some pieces. The snake has been dissected.
“Commander, this is…” The soldiers couldn’t believe the scene they were seeing, it seemed like a big dream. The scary snake was dissected.
“Looks like they’re hiding something …” Wang Liang muttered, but then he issued an order.
“Commander, this is amazing. This couple must be hiding their cultivation level or they have some kind of powerful equipment. “A soldier said.
“I think it’s the first option, the couple must be hiding their cultivation. Because there is no trace of equipment being used, it proves that they used only magical power to beat the snake. “Wang Liang deduced that when the equipment was used, a special type of energy could be detected. Since there was no such energy in place, Wang Liang deduced that the couple defeated the snake using only magical power.
“Commander, this is amazing. If they are hiding their cultivation, they must be extremely powerful, and they are only first-graders and only sixteen.”One soldier spoke impressively, this was the first time he had seen this kind of situation.
“That may be true, but you still don’t understand that there is probably some extremely powerful teacher teaching the couple? It is impossible for someone who has come from a common background to achieve these achievements without a teacher.
Also, there is one more thing, although the couple has the same surname, they do not have the same blood, the girl was adopted by the boy’s family. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, I think the girl must have an extremely powerful master. I guess that this master has at least one Great Mage’s cultivation. “Wang Liang spoke solemnly, from the information he received, he was able to deduce a few things. But it was a pity that there were right and wrong things.
“Commander, having a Great Mage as a master is incredible, but someone of this caliber must be someone you know. Do you have any idea who this might be? ”
“No, within the country there are many Great Mages, but many are unknown, they prefer not to reveal themselves and this is not something we should intrude on. If the couple is hiding their cultivation, they must have a good reason for it. Our job is to watch out so no one gets serious injuries. Let’s try to locate the couple, they made a great fortune by skinning the snake. As they left the meat, let’s take it to sell, we also need some extra money. “The commander said cheerfully, as the couple left the snake meat behind, they were happy to take it to them.
“Yes, commander !!” The soldiers shouted with joy, the snake meat was worth a great deal of money.
(Where did you go? It seems like you two are the luckiest participants in all these years that I’m the camp’s watchman.) Wang Liang wanted to find out where the couple hid.
…
Several soldiers were dispatched to take the snake meat back to the base.
To drag the body of several tens of tons was extremely tiring, the soldiers had to ask for help to take. This took several hours to complete.
…
In a place a little distance from where the snake was defeated, the place was a big tree twenty meters high and two meters in diameter, the branches were as thick as an adult’s arm, the leaves were as big as a double bed.
In the middle of the tree trunk, fifty feet high was a large hole fifty inches across. Inside there was nothing but dirt and dust, some fruit remnants could be seen.
But inside the tree, it was possible to hear strange sounds like something breathing heavily. Where was this sound coming from?
Going down to the ground inside the tree was a couple intertwined, they were kissing and naked, their bodies were connected. The gentle movements of the man and the seductive groans of the woman were like a heavenly song. The couple was Liu Yang and Liu Xia.
After dissecting the snake, the couple fled the scene and hid, they were exhausted, their magical energies were almost over, and the one who was suffering the most was Liu Yang because he needed to keep Liu Xia in the real world if his magical power runs out, she will be sent to his spiritual space. This was something Liu Yang didn’t want to happen. Because of this, Liu Yang used what little magical power he had to carry Liu Xia to safety, as in the worst-case their secret would not be discovered.
After finding a good place to rest, Liu Xia carried Liu Yang to the big tree hole, they hid inside for a few minutes to regain some energy.
Liu Xia used some power to create a hole inside the hole to the underground, the trunk of the tree descending a few meters underground before reaching the roots. To avoid leaving clues, Liu Xia used the power of wood to regenerate the parts she destroyed.
In the end, all traces of magical power and alterations have been hidden and cleared, no one will know that the couple is inside the tree doing activities.
Liu Yang and Liu Xia were doing activities for several days, but they only did for an hour or two before stopping, they used the double meditation method at the same time.
