Chapter 52 One light and one dark

When Dean Xiao was talking about the exam content, Shen Yuan didn't pay any attention. He didn't need to enter the Three-Step Tower to practice, and this reward was not as attractive to him as money.

He only needed to protect Mo Fan. Since the Lingyin Trial Council would send him some more money later, Shen Yuan had no choice but to continue protecting Mo Fan with great reluctance.

Shen Yuan stood at the edge of the crowd, under the shade of a tree, with Shuoxue lying beside his legs. A sense of dominance arose from within!

The sunlight shone on his face through the gaps between the branches and leaves. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked lazily at his passionate classmates. Except for Shen Yuan, no one else could withstand the temptation of the Three-Step Tower.

"Student Shen Yuan!" Suddenly, two pretty figures came up to him.

Mu Nujiao!
Aitutu!
Shen Yuan thought of the names of the two girls. He didn't have much contact with them last semester. The reason he could name both of them at once was because the two girls were famous enough!
Mu Nujiao, born into a wealthy and aristocratic family, was one of the top ten beauties in Mingzhu Academy.

Ai Tutu is probably the student with the greatest background in Mingzhu Academy. Although she is not one of the top ten campus beauties, she is also a beauty with no shortage of suitors.

"Hello." Shen Yuan nodded slightly.

Mo Fan's reaction after seeing the two girls was huge. His pupils instantly dilated and his jaw almost dislocated.

"Hello everyone, my name is Mo Fan, and I'm big brother Shen Yuan's good brother!" Mo Fan said thoughtfully.

"Oh, hello." Ai Tutu subconsciously ignored Mo Fan.

She kept her eyes on Shuoxue, and her purpose was clear as day.

Mu Nujiao knew that Ai Tutu was unreliable, so she said, "Dean Xiao said that the rewards for teamwork and individual combat are the same. You are very strong, so I think we can join forces!"

I?
Shen Yuan's eyes were weird. He had only a casual relationship with the two of them, so he had no reason to believe that Mu Nujiao would come to him for cooperation!
"Um, sorry, I'm not interested in the Three-Step Pagoda, and I have a commission, so I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to take the exam!" Shen Yuan explained the whole story clearly.

"Are you a fool? You are not even interested in the Three-Step Pagoda. Do you know what you are talking about?" Ai Tutu looked at him as if he were a fool.

Mo Fan clapped his hands anxiously and said, "Brother Shen Yuan, don't underestimate the Three-Step Tower. I've tried it once and it feels so good. And our commission won't delay us from looking for the Shadow Monster."

"And, big brother, do you know how much a three-step tower training opportunity is raised to? A full 20 million!"

How many?

After Shen Yuan heard the offer for the Three-Step Pagoda, he immediately lost his composure. It turned out that the opportunity to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda could be sold. Why didn’t you say so earlier?

"Classmate Mu Nujiao, if you had started talking like this, wouldn't I have agreed a long time ago?" Shen Yuan's attitude changed very quickly.

"So what are you waiting for? I don't want my 20 million to fall into the hands of others."

Although 20 million is tempting, this mission still leaves the group scratching their heads.

The information about the shadow beast is a military secret, and there is no information about it on the Internet. Apart from the military, only the Magic Association has the information.

Fortunately, Mo Fan's younger brother Zhang Xiaohou joined the military. After Mo Fan called him, the two of them talked for a while, and then Zhang Xiaohou went to ask his comrades for information.

By the afternoon, Zhang Xiaohou sent over some information about the shadow monster.

And these materials actually contain an important piece of information, that is, the domesticated shadow monster has a great addiction to beef and eats half a cow almost every day.

If there really is a shadow monster hidden in the Magic City, it will most likely start from the beef processing factory in the outer ring.

At this time, Mo Fan's hunter's sense of smell played a significant role. He didn't need to go directly to the outer ring. There were so many beef processing factories in the Magic City, how could he check them all one by one.

He went directly to the public security department and used the Hunter Medal to extract information about the theft at the beef processing plant, and left his contact information to the copywriter, asking her to notify him once there was any news. Although the four people temporarily formed an alliance, Shen Yuan suggested that they be divided into two places, one open and one secret, to exchange intelligence.

This can create false intelligence for other teams so they can react flexibly at critical moments.

Shen Yuan followed Mo Fan to investigate several beef processing factories, but they did not find any trace of the shadow beast.

"The exam results have just been released, the shadow beasts won't appear so frequently." Shen Yuan analyzed with a frown.

Just as the two were preparing to rush to the next beef processing plant, Mo Fan's communicator suddenly rang.

It was sent by the female copywriter I just added.

"Hello, Mr. Hunter. It's me. I just received a tip that a large amount of beef was stolen from an old food store on the river bank. Would you like to go take a look?"

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Thank you." Mo Fan said in a gentle voice.

But his complexion didn't match his voice at all.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan said grimly, “Something is wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong!!”

Shen Yuan obviously thought the same as him: "This might be a trap! And they might have taken me into consideration, so the other party will definitely have a high-level mage."

"High-level magician? Brother Shen Yuan, can you handle it?" Mo Fan asked worriedly.

Shen Yuan smiled faintly: "If Kou can go, I can go too!"

Isn't he just a small high-level wizard? Get him!!!

On the banks of the Huangpu River, neon lights of different colors flashing on the tall buildings are reflected in the river. As the water sways, it seems as if colorful ribbons of sincerity are floating in the deep and cold river.

In a dilapidated factory, there was a faint stench, just like feces.

Several figures in gray robes were whipping several deformed monsters as they rushed along the river bank as if they were driving livestock.

They have to set the scene before the target arrives. They are going to hold a grand funeral for the target here!!
Outside the factory, two students, a boy and a girl, were also lurking outside. It seemed that the boy wanted to go in alone and catch all those gray-robed people in one fell swoop!
I don't know what he was thinking, but judging from the number of people, it's obvious that it's an impossible thing.

Just then Shen Yuan and Mo Fan arrived in time and saw the two people outside.

"Xu Zhaoting? Why are you here!" Mo Fan asked in surprise.

"Mo Fan?"

Xu Zhaoting was even more surprised. He looked Mo Fan up and down and asked, "Why are you here?"

No matter what, although he was very confused, Xu Zhaoting believed that Mo Fan would definitely not be "Black Dragon Pavilion".

So he told Mo Fan about the suspected existence of the "Black Dragon Pavilion" in the factory.

After hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately looked at Mo Fan. His guess was right. This was a trap set for them by the "Black Dragon Pavilion".

As for whether this situation can trap Shen Yuan and Mo Fan, it depends on their own abilities.

Shen Yuan slowly rolled up his sleeves and said in a gentle tone: "Even if there is a high-level wizard, you don't need to worry. If he can get close to you alive, I will turn my name upside down!"
