Chapter 177: The Grand Magic – Dark Weasel Forest

Dark Weasel Forest.

“Master, we’ve arrived at Dark Weasel Forest, Ro Fa wS. Would you like to get off now?”

Sang Chu looked up and down, seeing only the dense forest. Beyond that, the cliff below was invisible, and further out was the vast, endless sea.

Saih, seeing Sang Chu’s expressionless face, worried she might think he was deliberately misleading her, hurried to explain:

“Master, Dark Weasel Forest surrounds the entire Xincheng. To leave, you must pass through it. The forest is encircled by the Luoxiang Sea, so no matter which direction you go, you must cross the sea. This is the closest point to Yaping Ridge.”

Sang Chu: “Hmm. What we need to figure out now is how to cross this stretch of sea.”

Lu MinL also got off, and as she walked over, she said, “My beast can carry people.”

But Saih immediately rejected the suggestion: “No, your beast would attract the water demons in the sea. But if you use its wings after merging, that should be fine.”

Lu MinL was taken aback, not having thought of this possibility.

Xi Rui looked at Sang Chu and said, “Master, you can merge with me. You’ll be able to use my spirit wings.”

Sang Chu: “That’s tempting. Mu Xue can merge with the Azure Butterfly, and Yi Ge can merge with Fire. But my brother’s magic beast is a fox—he doesn’t have wings.”

Sang Jingwen stood to the side, feeling a bit awkward. It had taken them nearly four days to get here, a day longer than expected, and now they were in the middle of nowhere, which made him a little anxious.

Mu Xue looked at Sang Jingwen and suggested, “Can we ride the armpit beast?”

Granny Xiang: “Best not. To locals, the armpit beast is a strange creature. I can see through all its functions at a glance—it can’t hide. If you use it, you might attract something terrifying.”

The sea monsters only like to eat spirit beasts, but if something strange suddenly appears, who knows what deep-sea monsters might be lured out. If that happens, it could be disastrous.

c: “Well, Master, if you don’t mind, my brother can use my tail sparrow. It’s just… the look is a bit undignified.”

Sang Jingwen: “No problem, as long as it works.”

...

Looking at the fluffy white tail that had grown from his own, Sang Jingwen instantly regretted his earlier words!

Meanwhile, Yi p held his card, initially envious of Sang Jingwen’s successful fusion, but when he saw the long tail growing from his behind, he burst out laughing.

“Hahaha, Wen, that tail of yours is quite something!”

Sang Jingwen stood with his arms crossed, giving him a cold look: “Even people who can’t fuse have the nerve to laugh?”

The laughter stopped abruptly. Yi p sighed helplessly, “Why is it so hard for me to fuse!”

He had the magic, he had the card, but he just couldn’t fuse!

After Sang Chu merged with the spirit wings, her ears became pointed, and the transparent wings on her back fluttered beautifully.

Mu Xue had blue butterfly wings, also very pretty, but among the group, only Yi p still couldn’t fuse.

Saih: “Maybe it’s because Fire has never been merged with before, so it’s resisting?”

At this, Sang Chu suddenly thought of a possibility. She said to Sang Jingwen and Yi p, “Brother, swap cards with Yi Ge. Yi Ge’s spiritual power isn’t as strong as yours, so maybe he can’t fully connect with the beast and can’t fuse.”

Yi p’s eyes went blank: “Really?”

“Yeah, here, you can have the tail sparrow!”

Sang Jingwen walked over with a smile, handed him the tail sparrow card, and took the card from Yi p’s hand.

But seeing Yi p’s name on the card, he said, “You have to change the card’s owner.”

To use someone else’s card, you have to erase your own name and transfer ownership. Only then can you use it freely.

Saih explained, “That’s right. c is Master’s servant, so he can’t let anyone else use his card. You have to transfer ownership to use it, but both you and c are recognized, so you can use each other’s cards.”

Once c became a card servant, the card automatically recognized him as the second authorized user, with Sang Chu as the first. So his cards can’t be given to anyone else.

A card can have no more than three users.

After understanding, Sang Jingwen nodded and began his first fusion attempt.

Failure.

“Is there really a problem?”

His fusion with the tail sparrow went smoothly, but Yi p’s fusion with the little fire beast was extremely difficult.

“It feels like something is blocking me from merging with it.”

On the other hand, Yi p, though not very smooth, managed to fuse. But the tail was so long that he had to drag it behind him when walking.

“So what do we do? We can’t stay stuck in the little beast forever!”

Suddenly, a loud “Z――” sounded. Sang Jingwen was suddenly lifted uncontrollably into the air.

Luckily, Lu MinL, who was nearby, reacted quickly and grabbed him. Sang Jingwen finally snapped out of it: “Damn, this little fire beast’s power is really hard to control. Almost killed me!”

Sang Jingwen’s voice was hoarse. Sang Chu hurried over to grab his other hand, feeling that Sang Jingwen’s body was burning hot—so hot that her own palm turned red.

“Brother, how do you feel?”

“Not good. My whole body feels hot, like I’m about to catch fire!”

“Wen, you—you’re on fire!”

Mu Xue screamed in terror, pointing at his back. Sure enough, Sang Jingwen’s clothes were burning.

“Brother, quickly cancel the fusion!”

“Boom――”

Another loud noise. The little beast’s shield instantly retracted, and Yi p was thrown straight onto Sang Jingwen.

Sang Chu and Lu MinL supported him from both sides. Suddenly, Yi p had an idea: “Should I carry Wen across?”

Sang Chu was startled and looked at Saih: “Is that possible?”

“Well… it’s not impossible…”

People from the Grand Magic Academy never considered carrying others, so she’d never thought about it either.

So when Yi p suggested it, she was stunned.

When Sang Chu asked, she wasn’t sure either.

Granny Xiang: “In theory, it’s possible, but no one’s ever tried it, so I can’t say for sure.”

Sang Chu: “Then I’ll go with MinL. The rest of you wait here. If anything happens, attack from here and I’ll take the chance to run back!”

Mu Xue and c both nodded: “Okay, be careful!”"
