Mage is Fearless

Li Yao's face darkened instantly!

"Lin Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you? Why do you always have to curse me out when you call? Did I provoke you?" Before Li Yao could speak, Lin Xiaoxi launched into a barrage of complaints, "Save me, Li Yao! I'm gonna die! There are several perverts chasing me, they're so disgusting and androgynous!"

Li Yao asked blankly, "Then how are you able to call me and complain?"

Could this be another one of Lin Xiaoxi's pranks?

It has to be! Was the whole supernatural event thing a planned prank from the start? Heh, Lin Xiaoxi, you're really going all out to mess with me! Li Yao was frantically convincing himself, subconsciously not wanting to go save Lin Xiaoxi. That girl was too unreliable, completely the opposite of her sister. Lin Xiaowei… okay, she was a bit eccentric, but overall still reliable. Lin Xiaoxi, on the other hand, was like a wild dog off its leash, utterly terrifying! Lin Xiaoxi was panting on the other end of the phone, running as she spoke, "I don't know, it's so foggy here, I just ran and ran, and those people can't catch up to me..."

Li Yao's face darkened even further.

What is this,

Are you playing a real-life version of Fifth Personality? And you chose the Lucky Guy as your character? Li Yao was about to retort when she hung up the phone with a "snap." Then his QQ Account vibrated, and Lin Xiaoxi sent a short video: In the video, several people in black trench coats with effeminate features rushed past. Their eyes were cold and numb, sending chills down your spine. The weapons in their hands were varied and menacing.

Judging by the angle, it looked like Lin Xiaoxi was hiding on the ground, secretly filming...

How the hell did she not get caught?

Did these people play too many esports games and think they don't need eyesight in real life like in games?!

If you're blind, get it treated!

Li Yao calmed down, then realized... this was probably Lin Xiaoxi's unreasonable luck kicking in again.

He quickly sent a message asking, "Where are you? Send me your location!"

Lin Xiaoxi sent her location quickly.

However, seeing the location marked on the map, Li Yao's teeth ached.

Azure Dragon Mountain??? And near the Azure Dragon Mountain Mental Hospital??? Lin Xiaoxi, have you finally gone crazy? Did you steal a phone from the ward to send me this message? Is the mental hospital so trendy now? Are they all starting to cosplay??? Li Yao covered his forehead, so angry he couldn't breathe properly.

After calming down for a while, he put on his windbreaker, grabbed his backpack, took the props and potions he had prepared during this time, and set off resolutely! No matter what Demons and Monsters there were, the Mage was fearless!

Just go for it! He flagged down a taxi. When the driver heard he was going to Azure Dragon Mountain, he gave Li Yao a strange look. What could Li Yao do? He was pretty desperate anyway.

The road to Azure Dragon Mountain was clear; usually, no one came to this kind of place. In just over an hour, Li Yao arrived at his destination.

At some point, fog had risen on Azure Dragon Mountain, making it hazy and unclear.

The taxi driver was quite strange: "Azure Dragon Mountain is haunted?" Anyway, these drivers were quite superstitious. When they got close, they refused to go any further. Li Yao could only get out of the car and walk the rest of the way. Fortunately, according to the location, it wasn't far... and thankfully, this wasn't one of those typical supernatural novels where communication devices failed in the fog! Lin Xiaoxi had been chatting with Li Yao the whole time he was on his way.

Those strange people were still tracking the intruders, but it seemed there was more than one group of intruders. Lin Xiaoxi said the strange people seemed a little flustered.

And Lin Xiaoxi, hiding here and there, hadn't been spotted or found yet! Damn it,

That luck is too OP.

Li Yao silently recited the spell circuits in his mind, frantically using self-hypnosis—a small trick in spellcasting that could help a Mage cast spells quickly. Li Yao didn't know many spells yet, so he kept recalling the two spell circuits, preparing to deal with any sudden situations.

Although the Mage was fearless and would just charge in when things happened,

That depended on the situation.

A newbie Mage like Li Yao would still play it safe when the time came.

He stealthily slipped into the fog, not daring to make a sound.

He didn't have Lin Xiaoxi's BUG-level luck to protect him. If he encountered an enemy... if they were weak, it would be fine, but if they were strong, he might just die.

Wouldn't that be awkward? This was, after all, a relatively lighthearted and slice-of-life novel, not an arrogant heavenly novel...

Can't afford to be reckless.

Perhaps Lin Xiaoxi was praying for him, but Li Yao's luck was surprisingly good. He didn't encounter anyone on the way and found Lin Xiaoxi directly, following the location's navigation.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi was hiding behind a pile of rocks. Hearing movement, she "swished" and raised a rock, shouting, "Who's there!"

"It's me."

Lin Xiaoxi dropped the rock. "Oh, you're here."

Li Yao approached Lin Xiaoxi. "What are you looking at! It's so dangerous here, why aren't you going back!"

Lin Xiaoxi said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? They're fighting over there! Quick, quick, come with me."

Saying that, she grabbed Li Yao and rushed out without explanation.

Under the cover of the fog, Li Yao and the others weren't discovered. After reaching another position, Li Yao finally saw the battle scene in the core area of the fog—a group of strange men in black trench coats with effeminate faces were besieging six masked individuals. The masks they wore were all different: a short one with a Fox Mask, a tall one with an Ox-Head Mask, one with a Bronze Dragon Pattern Mask, and even a pair wearing the King and Queen Mask...

What the hell is all this?!

Li Yao asked Lin Xiaoxi, "What's going on in there?"

Lin Xiaoxi said, "Those guys in black are speaking Japanese. I don't know what they're doing here, but those masked people give me a good feeling. They might be the good guys."

Good guys?

Only kids distinguish between good and bad.

Adults like me only distinguish between advantages and disadvantages, okay! Li Yao rolled his eyes, then hunkered down with Lin Xiaoxi to watch the show.

It's all so damn magical.

Lin Xiaoxi clearly comes from a normal family, so why isn't she surprised to see such magical things?

Li Yao's experiences during this period have also been bizarre, but he's still a bit flustered encountering something like this.

This girl…

Has a problem with her brain! The battle over there fell into a stalemate. The Black-Clothed Men relied on their numerical advantage to hold off the masked people, and behind the Black-Clothed Men, a man in Onmyoji attire was chanting incantations. With a wave of his hand, he could summon a ghost from the fog. This fog is indeed strange.

Li Yao tried to extend his Spirit Sense, but the Spirit Sense that originally flowed out like mercury now felt like it was drilling into viscous asphalt.

This fog can block Spirit Sense detection,

And allow the enemy to summon and control Demons and Monsters! Li Yao became more interested, but as he watched, he noticed something was wrong...

Being besieged by the enemy, the tall and sturdy man wearing the Ox-Head Mask looked so familiar. That height, that build, those muscles... that familiar feeling! Holy crap,

Shuisheng Ge, is that you?!

Third update, asking for recommendations, rewards, and collections. Going to rest now.
