Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 118: Misty Water Snail (Bonus)

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Lu Jun released his Psychic Magic, and as the psychic ripples spread out in layers, he was shocked to discover that the magic, which was supposed to penetrate the white mist and illuminate the surrounding environment, had failed.

The transparent ripples vanished like stones sinking into the sea, sticking to the white mist and extending only about twenty meters.

Seeing this, his heart sank—he had fallen into a trap. No wonder he hadn't sensed any danger before stepping into this area.

This white mist contained psychic energy, likely set as a trap by some cunning aquatic demon.

Along the way, Lu Jun hadn't been using his psychic detection continuously.

The mana of his Level-2 Nebula in the Psychic Element was limited and needed to be saved for critical moments. Normally, he released it at intervals, but during the gaps, some dangers were unavoidable.

In fact, if Lu Jun weren't leading the team, the number of attacks they had encountered would have increased several times over. Encounters with Commander-level creatures wouldn't have been impossible either.

Each time his Rank-3 Spiritual cultivation sensed danger, he immediately used psychic detection. So far, they had successfully bypassed two or three Commander-level creatures and crossed through three or four demon territories.

"We can't go back."

Guan Yu, a team member, attempted to turn around and retrace their steps. However, after walking just over ten meters, he quickly retreated to the main group, his expression grim.

"The path behind us is covered by the white mist. We can't distinguish between front, back, left, or right."

Hearing this, Lu Jun's thoughts shifted. A cyan glow surged from his body as swirling mist gathered. Crystal-clear illusionary scales spread across his skin, and a Water Swirl Serpent coiled around him.

He took the initiative to dive into the river, hoping to see if the fog also covered the underwater area.

The result was disappointing. The water was filled with milky white bubbles, creating a dreamy and illusory scene that mirrored the white mist on the river's surface. Together, they formed a complete cage.

Lu Jun didn't dare to dive too deep, fearing he would lose his way. He resurfaced and lay on the smooth back of a white river dolphin. Seeing his teammates gather around him, he shook his head.

"It's a three-dimensional seal. There's no way out."

The team members frowned deeply. Could this be the power of a Commander-level demon, forming some kind of domain?

Immediately, their eyes drifted to Yuan Professor and Gao Sheng, who remained unfazed. They cursed inwardly—these two possessed high-level Sound Magic and at least Rank-4 spiritual power. There was no way they hadn't noticed the abnormality of this water region.

Clearly, they were just observing, testing the group.

But everyone had already figured it out—if this were a true Commander-level demon, Yuan Professor would have led them away earlier.

Lu Jun had already suspected as much. Yuan Professor had explicitly stated beforehand that he would not interfere unless absolutely necessary.

Honestly, Lu Jun suspected that Yuan Professor was the true guardian of this team.

He glanced at Guan Yu, Zu Jiming, Nanrong Ni, and the others. In terms of background, they were far more prestigious than the so-called geniuses a year later, like Mo Fan's group.

The treatment difference was worlds apart.

Look at Mo Fan and the others—they encountered a Commander-level Pseudo-Dragon and were utterly helpless. If that Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon had been interested in them, they'd have been wiped out.

Later, Lu Nian's absolute control over life and death was even worse. His subordinates perished like mere weeds.

But this team? Even if they encountered high-tier Commander-level beings, they would be fine. This was practically a sightseeing trip.

Lu Jun clicked his tongue.

"As expected of the direct descendants of the nation's top families. Even I get to enjoy some benefits by tagging along."

At that moment, Mu Tingying and Dongfang Ming stepped forward.

"Let me try."

They attempted to use Ice and Wind Magic to disperse the mist.

Crack! Crack! Whoosh!

First, Mu Tingying unleashed her Level-2 Intermediate Ice Lock: Bone Husk. A vast, ghostly-white frost spread outward, freezing large portions of the water's surface into ice.

The white mist floating in the air also began to freeze, forming tiny ice particles that sparkled in midair.

Unfortunately, Intermediate Ice Magic only affected an area of about twenty meters. Just like with Psychic Magic, this mist contained water-element energy that resisted the freezing effects.

Next, Dongfang Ming stepped up. A green Star Map appeared beneath his feet, and a towering tornado, over ten meters high, burst from the water—Wind Disk Level 2: Sky Snare!

Fierce winds swept towards the thick mist, countless wind blades spinning rapidly, attempting to slice through it. Torrents of river water were sucked into the air, forming massive whirlpools.

However, the effects were minimal. The mist felt like cotton—soft yet resilient. It refused to be torn apart. Instead, the mist absorbed the moisture from the winds, growing even denser.

Their faces darkened. Even Intermediate Magic couldn't break through?

Lu Jun remained calm. He noticed that their magic did affect the mist slightly—his psychic detection range had expanded to over fifty meters, faintly revealing shadows beneath the water.

After all, he had Rank-3 spiritual power. Even under interference, as long as there were cracks, he could exploit them.

Boom!

While the team's morale was low, a demon lurking in the mist was disturbed. A surge of monstrous energy erupted.

The mist expanded violently, shrouding everything in darkness. Within moments, visibility dropped from ten meters to practically nothing.

The mist turned an eerie dark blue.

The demon was enraged! Psychic and Water-element mana began affecting the minds of all twelve team members.

Mu Tingying, Guan Yu, Bai Zhengfeng, Jiang Yu, and the others felt their anxiety skyrocket.

With their vision blocked, their fear of unseen attacks intensified.

Only Lu Jun, Zu Jiming, and Yuan Professor, who practiced mind-related magic, barely remained calm. As for Gao Sheng, a former high-ranking military intelligence officer, he had his own means to stay clear-headed.

The rest were on the verge of panicking, ready to attack blindly.

"Do not break formation! Follow my orders!"

At the critical moment, Lu Jun shouted. His Tier-3 spiritual energy carried a subtle mental shockwave, jolting everyone awake.

Seeing them recover, he issued precise commands.

"The mist has psychic interference. Activate your Concentration Magic Tools to stabilize your minds. Use defensive magic to protect yourselves."

"Plant Magic users, bind everyone with vines. No one moves. This ensures we stay together."

The team followed his orders. Nanrong Ni used Plant Magic, weaving thick vines through the mist, wrapping around each person's waist.

The reassuring tightness of the vines grounded them. Even without visibility, they could feel their teammates' presence.

Lu Jun continued, "Don't panic if demons attack. I can sense movements within fifty meters. You'll have ample time to react."

His composed command earned Yuan Professor's silent approval. Even the other team members felt a sense of admiration.

Then, two embarrassed voices sounded.

"Uh, Lu, we don't have Concentration Magic Tools."

Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng spoke up.

Lu Jun smacked his forehead. Right—these two weren't from top-tier families like the others. They weren't direct descendants, so their financial resources were far inferior.

It was only natural they lacked such expensive magic tools.

Suddenly, they became potential liabilities.

The team tensed up. Already exhausted from days of travel, the crisis intensified.

Yuan Professor observed Lu Jun, curious about his solution.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jun remained calm.

"Zu Jiming, help me restrain them. Nanrong Ni, tie them up tightly!"

The group fell silent.

A true savage.
