Versatile Mage Chapter 310 - Razortail Drake

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Mo Fan rode on the Swift Star Wolf as he landed on a wide street filled with rubbish and mud.

The street was around two kilometers long. It most likely used to be one of the main streets of Jinlin City. The surrounding buildings were relatively taller, and consisted of office buildings and high-rises.

The buildings were corroded with some strange-looking mud. They looked liked construction frames without any windows. The buildings were severely ramshackle, with broken pieces scattered nearby...

As he followed the street for a hundred meters, Mo Fan soon discovered a cement wall blocking the path ahead. The height of the wall was similar to the buildings nearby, blocking vision like a huge dam.

The Swift Star Wolf quickly reminded Mo Fan that the place after the wall was extremely dangerous.

With his enemies catching up behind, Mo Fan headed up the slope of the wall without hesitation. However, when he reached the top, a giant hill suddenly took up the entirety of his vision.

Why would there be such a tall hill right in the middle of the desolate city?

After taking a closer look, Mo Fan instantly shivered.

It was not a hill at all. It was actually a nest built with dried mud. The nest was located right at the busiest place of the city. It was over a hundred meters taller than the tallest skyscraper in the city, and seemed to almost have reached the clouds.

The hill was densely packed with holes. There were so many of them they would make ones scalp numb from trypophobia.

{Editors Note: Your word of the day!}

Each of the holes was a den of the Giant Lizards. Mo Fan was already intimidated when the Swift Star Wolf mentioned that there were more than ten of their nests ahead. However, when he cast his eyes over this nest that was taller than a skyscraper, he immediately felt the urge to leave.

Screw the adventure to the lions den, screw the slim chance of surviving he thought he had. If all the beasts inside this nest were to come out, they could easily destroy Jinlin City all over again.

No, something isnt right. I dont feel that many auras...Could this be the leftover habitat for the Giant Lizards, as most of them have withdrawn to Dongting Lake? It is only an empty shell? Mo Fan soon calmed down.

It was Mo Fans first time witnessing a demon beasts next. The visual impact of it was comparable to witnessing a skyscraper made by humans.

Most importantly, Mo Fan noticed that the dried mud was actually mixed with vehicles, light poles, advertisement boards etc. The hive was not purely made of mud. It was mixed with a variety of objects, including corpses...

If all thats left is an empty shell, or maybe there are a few of Giant Lizards living in it, I might still have a chance...Oh mama, its that guy! Mo Fan was in the midst of his murmuring when he saw a pair of giant wings extending out at the peak of the hive.

Mo Fan took a closer look and realized that the movement of the wings felt like a simple stretching. A giant red head was hanging right beside the hive. Its mouth was half-open, with drool flowing out like a water tap.

It was the Commander-level beast that had killed the Pseudomorphing Demon Beast with a single bite, an Advanced Razortail Drake!

The Razortail Drakes bore great similarities to the dragons of the West. They had originated in a different country. The Razortail Drakes were considered a subspecies of the dragons who had moved to Dongting Lake sometime in the past, and had dwelled there for hundreds of thousands of years, becoming an intimidating species of demon beasts.

In the past, Mo Fan had only seen magical beasts like dragons and flying vipers in movies. In contrast, this giant Razortail Drake with wings and a big fat tummy was right in front of him. He could easily tell that the Razortail Drake was a crossbreed between some dragons.

This Razortail Drakess primary lineage was the lizards, but the wings were clearly inherited from the dragons, thus they were known as drakes. Their strength was most likely higher than the Darkwing Wolf which had conquered the trading building of Bo City, since the Razortail Drake was distantly related to the dragons!

A small tornado was spinning in the air. The giant Razortail Drake was deep asleep. Its snoring was loud as thunder, while its breath alone was as strong as the power of a Wind Magician.

It was quite terrifying knowing that a beast which could be described as a Grim Reaper was currently sleeping on top of the nest.

Luckily, he was still a distance away from it. Otherwise, Mo Fan would not have had the courage to move hastily, recalling how the Pseudomorphing Demon Beast was killed almost instantly by the beast...

Mo Fan and the Swift Star Wolf proceeded to the area where the nest was located. The places nearby were totally dry. Not a single beast could be seen around. It was most likely that the Giant Lizards were resting in the hive, and only moved out at night, as they were nocturnal.

The Lizards were not afraid of sunlight, but they preferred gloomy or rainy days.

As he continued along the street, Mo Fan noticed his enemies climbing over the cement wall behind him.

He saw the female advisor Jiang Yi in her grey-white uniform, followed by a group of Intermediate Magicians. They seemed to be clueless of fear while they were on the chase.

Where are you going to hide this time! Jiang Yis ugly face was wearing a cold grin. It was not acceptable for Battlemages to go through so much trouble just to hunt a student down!

Im not planning to run either, Mo Fan shrugged, as if he had given up.

Do you think you have a chance to escape by using confusion? Just to let you know, these Giant Lizards arent strong enough for us to treat them seriously! Jiang Yi smirked.

Is that so? How about those inside the nest? Mo Fan grinned.

His right arm was already engulfed in flames. He did not fire the Fiery Fist at the Battlemages, but aimed at the bottom of the nest instead.

The Fiery Fist was like a small meteorite. It swept across the air and landed accurately at the base of the hive.

Due to the size of the nest, the force of the punch was only enough to shake some of the caves close to the base of the hive.

However, the movement alone was more than enough to startle every Giant Lizard at the bottom of the hive. Countless heads began to pop out from the holes as they uttered agitated cries while glaring at the intruders.

It had been many years since something alive had made its way here. They could feel their stomachs rumbling, as they had not tasted human flesh for quite a prolonged period!
