"Click... click!"

After a period of time, the iceberg began to break apart, with cracks gradually appearing and covering its crystal-clear surface.

Then, with a loud "bang," a section of the iceberg shattered, and Lu Nian was the first to break free from the ice.

He was a high-level mage and reacted the fastest at the beginning, having already added extra protection to himself, which allowed him to be the first to break free from the icy restraints.

While the Ice Burst is powerful, it's still somewhat difficult to truly harm a high-level mage. The most crucial aspect of this magical artifact in actual combat is its ability to bind demons, thus creating an opportunity for the user to unleash their own magic.

Mo Xie certainly didn't really think that the three Xuanbing Blasts could kill Lu Nian, but weakening and stiffening their bodies and temporarily rendering them unable to move was already the best possible outcome.

Lu Nian clearly felt his body becoming stiff and weak, his movements becoming sluggish, and his blood being somewhat blocked, making its flow very sluggish.

"asshole!!!"

Lu Nian trembled with rage, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with boundless fury, and he roared to the sky.

He never imagined that he, a high-ranking mage, would be tricked by a student; this was absolutely intolerable.

His extremely cold expression at this moment showed just how angry he was!
He had been tricked by a group of students, who had practically branded him with shame. If his former colleagues found out, they would surely laugh at him.

How could he, a high-ranking military intelligence officer, kill these students as easily as slaughtering a flock of domesticated poultry with their legs tied?

What's the point of running away?

They drink the blood of demons and slaughter in demon lairs, and are invincible. How could they not deal with this group of trainees who have just come out for training?!
One by one, the officers broke through the ice and emerged. Originally, there were thirty people when the group came, but now, including Lu Nian, only about ten people survived. Thirty top-tier mid-level mages were almost wiped out by Mo Xie.

"You guys, go and bring those guys back."

Lu Nian stared coldly at Jinlin Wasteland City and spoke to the officers behind him who were waking up one after another.

"Military Intelligence Bureau, we've wasted so much time. They've already gotten far ahead. Do we still have a chance to catch up?"

Female staff officer Jiang Yi recalled the eagle, which was entirely blue and had an astonishing speed, and asked with concern.

Although they were frozen in the ice, their senses remained intact, and they had already witnessed Xiaoqing's terrifying speed.

Lu Nian thought of that blue eagle, a flying demon with wind attributes, which might be really hard to catch. In addition, they had been trapped for so long, so catching up would indeed be very difficult.

After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said with a sinister expression.

"We might not be able to catch him, but since that's the case, we have to capture that kid. If we can't catch the best test subject, then we'll use his brother. I'll make sure he's torn to pieces!"

Female staff officer Jiang Yi nodded, looked at the officers who were still trapped in the iceberg, and said.

"Military Intelligence Bureau, I'm afraid those few won't wake up."

"Then it's ruined."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several human-shaped ice sculptures were smashed to pieces. Among the scattered ice shards, the blood and flesh of those officers were probably still hidden. Once the ice melted completely, no one would know what kind of corpses they were.

After everything was done, Lu Nian and the others entered Jinlin Wasteland City and chased after Mo Xie.

……

Mo Xie rode Little White at high speed through the desolate city, planning her next steps.

The chances of those military mages surviving are slim. At most, a few of the stronger ones will remain. Even with Lu Nian, a high-level mage, they don't pose a significant threat overall.

Judging by the time, Mu Ningxue and the others should have flown quite far by now. If Lu Nian sends the remaining military mages to capture them, it will be a wasted effort. Mo Xie felt that if Lu Nian wasn't stupid, he would send everyone else to capture him, and he himself would most likely come as well. So, they had to speed things up now.

It's still acceptable now. Those military mages aren't in good condition. So, we'll lure them all to the Lizardhead Giant's lair, then wipe them out in one fell swoop and seize the Blood Essence along the way!

But... why hasn't Master arrived yet?

With him protecting us, things are going to be stable. It's really slow.

"Xiaobai, speed up!"

Despite the complaints, it was best to keep some distance for now. Mo Xie patted Xiao Bai's head, urging it to quicken its pace.

"call!"

Xiao Bai slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, and its limbs swung even more vigorously.

Continuing their journey, the man and beast arrived at a large swampy area, inhabited by the Lizard-Skull Giant Demon tribe, which ruled the entire Dongting Lake Plain and Dongting Lake.

This area is the most dangerous place in the entire Jinlin Wasteland City. Mo Xie must come here; the more dangerous it is, the more advantageous it will be for him.

Ahead, a large swamp lake covered with reeds was within reach. All the mudflats were as calm as an ordinary wasteland. Only the houses, with only a roof exposed and only half a meter high, were scattered in different places, which looked a bit strange.

The swamp was quiet; there wasn't a sound of insects or birds chirping amidst the vast expanse of reeds. Only strange bubbles rising from the mud indicated that it wasn't as desolate as it appeared.

Xiao Bai leaped up and landed on the terrace of a dilapidated house. With another leap, he moved from one end to the other, his figure transforming into an ice-white arrow that shot out of the bowstring with unparalleled agility.

Xiao Bai's leaping movements startled hordes of lizard-headed giants, whose greedy eyes fixed on him as they swam in the mud, seemingly trying to surround Mo Xie.

In an instant, countless lizard-headed giants crawled out of the mud pit, and as soon as they saw any living creatures entering their territory, they rushed over to snatch them.

"Little White, you just run, I'll take care of those lizard-headed giants."

Seeing more and more lizard-headed giant demons approaching, Mo Xie instructed Xiao Bai.

The lizard-headed giants bared their fangs and roared at Mo Xie and Xiao Bai, as if hunting prey, and slowly formed an encirclement.

"It's so noisy, just be quiet!"

A flash of purplish-black light appeared in Mo Xie's eyes, and he condensed lightning in his hand, throwing it towards the densely packed area of ​​the lizard-headed giants.

The lightning struck the ground and instantly spread outwards like a spider web, leaving no lizard-headed giant monster unscathed in its wake.

Thunder Seal - Electric Field, the fourth level of Thunder Seal, is most useful when demons are in groups. Moreover, Mo Xie's Thunder Seal is extremely powerful, and it can basically kill the lizard-headed giant demons of the servant level with one blow.

Even if a warrior-level lizard-skull giant cannot be killed outright, it can at least cause paralysis.

"Firestorm Starburst!"

"Ice Vine - Ice Bullet!"

"Mind Control - Disperse!"

"Sound String - Kill!"

"Lingyi: Mind-Breaking Impact!"

The various kinds of basic magic spells made the lizard-headed giants that came to besiege them suffer greatly, and they couldn't get any closer.

At times like these, the advantages of having multiple magic systems become apparent, especially since the spells being cast are all low-level spells, consuming only a tiny fraction of the mana.

Mo Xie cast magic on Xiao Bai's back, preventing the lizard-headed giant from getting close. With Mo Xie clearing away the demons blocking its path, Xiao Bai could nimbly leap and quickly escape the encirclement. (End of Chapter)
