Chapter 22: Tracking

The moonlight gradually approached. At this moment, the lights inside and outside the academy were gradually extinguished, but in a certain dormitory, Lan Yu was still passionately explaining the secrets of the continent.

Seeing that Lan Yu was getting more and more excited, Fang Xuan felt sleepy. However, it was not a coincidence that he met Zhao Xiang last time. The Blazing Mountain should also be the school’s territory.

After a yawn, he urged the former to get to the point.

“The main point is that our low-level lightning training area is very limited. If you accept missions as a mercenary, there’s only a place in the Thunder Domain thousands of kilometers away.”

“That’s a very special place. It’s on an island above the North Sea. It’s filled with violent lightning power. The strongest type of lightning net there can even reach 100,000 volts. Many people challenge it fearlessly, but they’ll be electrocuted before they can even touch the boss.”

Fang Xuan thought to himself, “You’ve been nagging for so long, so this is all you’ve got…”

Putting aside the fact that his familiar was an ancient-level ant, he had also obtained a thunder domain-type skill in the Thunder Forest last time. It had the ability to temporarily be immune to thunder and lightning attributes. He didn’t seem to care about Thunder Net or Thunderbolt.

However, if it was just a personal mission, he had to be careful. After all, everyone could accept it. If they really fought, there would be no mercy at all.

Fang Xuan knew that the most vicious thing in this world was not any magical beast or beast, but the human heart.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll think of something. Go to sleep.”

Seeing Fang Xuan like this, Lan Yu didn’t say anything else. He turned around and pulled up the blanket, snoring slowly.

Fang Xuan looked at Lan Yu, who was snoring like thunder, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face. In his previous life, he had been a loner and taciturn person. In this life, he had finally met a decent friend.

However, he still had to cultivate diligently because of his family feud…

Three days later, early in the morning, Fang Xuan walked out of the school with his head held high.

Today’s class schedule was in the afternoon. He had to hurry up and get the thunder-element insect skin first. He did not know what good things there were in the mission outside the school.

In the past three days, he had been familiarizing himself with the skills he had brought out of the Thunder Forest while waiting for the cooldown time of the capture skill. He was wondering if there would be another unexpected gain for a bug-type beast.

Just as he stepped out of the school gate, a petite figure silently followed behind him.

When Fang Xuan arrived at the entrance of the guild, there was still a smiling woman inside. The latter clearly recognized Fang Xuan and had a rough idea of his strength. However, when she heard Fang Xuan mention that he didn’t take on lightning-attribute missions as a school, she was still a little surprised.

After all, cultivators in the Canglan Empire who had some common sense knew that the Lightning Domain distributed on the continent here was not a place where just anyone could go. The probability of dying there was extremely terrifying. Although one could use the token to teleport back to the guild hall once a day, who was confident that they could be 100% faster than the speed of lightning?

Therefore, there were countless vengeful spirits buried on Thunder Island. Fang Xuan nodded confidently, indicating that there was no need to say anything else.

The woman took the token and transmitted a different energy onto it. Soon, the token slowly fluctuated.

Fortunately, the mission this time was not that abnormal, but there were still four purple-blue stars jumping on it.

Fang Xuan let out a long sigh. He was finally no longer a five-star. He had to hurry up and complete it so that he wouldn’t delay the afternoon class.

Thinking of this, he took the token and put it on his waist before walking out of the door.

He did not know what kind of accident would happen outside the school this time. It would not be good if he did not have time to take out the token when he escaped.

After finding the teleportation array, the token automatically teleported Fang Xuan to the lightning domain a thousand miles away—Thunder Island.

After all, there were only a few lightning regions in the Canglan Empire. The middle and low-level ones had to complete lightning-type missions here, so lightning-type missions were generally high-difficulty rewards.

When they arrived at the Thunder Island, they realized that Lan Yu was not lying. The entire island was covered in violent lightning nets. If they were not careful, they would be entangled by the lightning nets. It was normal for them to lose their lives if they were unprepared.

He slowly walked forward, searching for the target of this mission.

At this moment, beside the teleportation array, an inconspicuous light flashed, and Ning Lanqing appeared on Thunder Island.

She was the one who had been tailing Fang Xuan in school. She had been waiting at the school gate for three whole days. This time, Fang Xuan had finally come out of seclusion.

After all, there were some things that Fang Xuan wasn’t willing to say. She also knew that she couldn’t force Fang Xuan to speak, so she could only do it herself… However, there was one thing that Ning Lanqing found very strange. Fang Xuan’s familiar was clearly the most ordinary ant, and it didn’t have the slightest lightning attribute. How could it walk so freely on such a berserk Thunder Island without any defense?

Could it be that he had learned a thunder-type domain skill? However, domain-type skills had always been something that the various large sects had been searching for with great difficulty. It was even more so for low-level ones. Or could it be that the lightning attribute here had decreased?

She threw out a trace of water energy and hit the lightning net. The wisp of energy immediately turned into steam and disappeared.

Ning Lanqing became more and more curious. However, without any ability to resist lightning, she couldn’t land at all. So, she summoned the Daughter of the Sea and threw a siren note at Fang Xuan. Then, she entered the teleportation array and disappeared.

The Siren Note was a skill that she had spent a lot of effort to find from the auction. She could control it to land on people or objects, and then establish a connection between the two to sense each other’s location.

Ning Lanqing was currently sprinting towards the Armament Workshop. She wanted to quickly use the Thunder Shot Grass in her hands to refine a Thunder Shot Armor, then follow in the footsteps of Fang Xuan.

“Strange, why does my neck feel itchy…”

Fang Xuan did not have the time to care about this. He carefully walked on the ground that was covered in lightning nets while resisting the violent lightning attribute here.

After all, it was too energy-consuming for him to keep activating the Thunder Domain. He could only rely on his lightning-resistant body to resist it.

He looked down and saw that the mission target was clearly written on the token with purple-blue energy: Thunder From Worm 0/50 Boss Strange Lightning 0/1.

He activated the Detection Eye and went straight into the surrounding lightning net. Only then did he discover that it was densely packed with Thunder Form Worms.

He did not waste any time and summoned more than ten ants. Those ants even devoured lightning, let alone the Thunder From Worms inside.

As the Thunder From Worms were eliminated one by one, the numbers on Fang Xuan’s token quickly spun. Soon, there were as many as 30.

The lightning net around him slowly disappeared with the death of the Thunder From Worm. Fang Xuan stretched and resumed his unhurried pace.
