Chapter 23 Element Devouring
Yang Zuohe looked around, as if he was looking for something, and turned his head to ask, "Is your teacher not back yet?"

The aftermath work in the old city is nearing completion, and he still needs to go back to guard the Holy Spring. It is impossible for him to stay here to protect Xu Mu.

If the judge doesn't come back, he can only take Xu Mu back to the association.

"It should be soon." Xu Mu said uncertainly.

Tang Yue is a mid-level dual-element spirit, and also has a fire-element spirit seed. Without him as a burden, dealing with the Black Vatican is only a matter of time.

Maybe he is already on the way back, and he only needs to wait a little longer before he can see Tang Yue.

"Then I'll wait with you for a while." Yang Zuohe nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your help." Xu Mu said.

Speaking of which, he had originally planned to quietly follow Tang Yue and find a chance to kill the man in black who knew his strength, but Tang Yue ran so fast that he didn't even see Tang Yue's back.

With no other options, he could only stay in the old town and join the monster hunting team.

"Option 2 completed, get reward: Element Devouring Seed"

Item: Elemental Seed

Attributes: None (devour any elemental spirit seed to become the devourer of that element)
Effect: Can retain the swallowed elemental effects and strengthen them
Power increase: None
Suddenly, the system panel flashed up, indicating that the previous options had been completed.

"Elemental Seed Devourer?" The original helplessness was replaced by surprise at this moment.

Xu Mu almost couldn't help laughing out loud, the Element Devouring Seed was a treasure, although its magic amplification was the same as that of a normal Elemental Spirit Seed, it could retain the attached effects of the devoured Elemental Spirit Seed.

One spirit seed and several additional effects, isn't this equivalent to getting a few skills for free? This thing will be even more powerful than the heavenly seed when it grows to the later stage.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird?" Xu Dahuang walked over and looked at Xu Mu with suspicion.

"Ah? Nothing, I just thought of something happy." Xu Mu asked casually, "Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's not something, I just want to ask you, do you have any idea of ​​joining our monster hunting team?" Xu Dahuang scratched his head, nervously waiting for a reply. After Xu Dahuang finished speaking, the rest of the monster hunting team stopped what they were doing and cast expectant glances in their direction.

"After a night of fighting, Xu Dahuang recognized your strength and invited you to join the monster hunting team. You choose..."

"Option 1: Join the Monster Hunting Team"

"Option 2: Do not join the demon hunting team"

"Brother Xu, I'm still a student and need to focus on my studies." Xu Mu shook his head and chose to refuse. He had never thought about joining the monster hunting team.

Indeed, the City Monster Hunting Team is a good job. You are guaranteed to earn tens of thousands of dollars every time you go on a mission, and there are powerful teammates by your side, so the missions are almost not dangerous.

Even if there are no missions, there is a fixed salary every month. It is a real iron rice bowl and the job that countless mages dream of.

But this is not what he wants. If the system appears every time he goes on a mission, he will still choose to join, but the system only appears during major events.

Considering the overall strength of the monster hunting team, going on a mission is not considered a major event, unless one is facing an advanced or general-level monster.

"That's true. After all, you are a student and you should focus on your studies." Although Xu Dahuang was a little disappointed by Xu Mu's rejection, he still said with a smile.

In his eyes, Xu Mu is still a student who will enter a magic university in the future. Joining the monster hunting team at this time will only delay his studies.

It would be fine if it was another mage who lacked resources, but Xu Mu had shown his space equipment before, and his parents were martyrs and he received state subsidies, so he had no shortage of resources at all.

"You choose to refuse to join the demon hunting team and obtain the magic weapon: the hidden ring."

Magical weapon: Ring of Concealment

Grade: None
Effect: Able to fake the smell of stardust, nebula, etc. to confuse the enemy
Note: Ineffective against forbidden spells and mages with strong mental power
