Bai Jue woke up from his meditation and exhaled slowly. With Lin Ye's introduction, he studied under a military mage who majored in music for two years and gained a lot. Judging from the panel alone, he had made great progress. However, as his realm became higher, his practice speed slowed down.

Because of the need to conceal the magic system, Bai Jue did not use the Galaxy Vein to assist in the breakthrough of the poison system when breaking through to the high level. Instead, Bai Jue slowly accumulated magic energy by himself to cross the barrier and enter the high level. This step took him a long time.

As for reaching the high-level to super-level, Bai Jue believes that he must use the assistance of natural treasures such as Xinghai Tianmai. Although the proficiency panel eliminates the bottleneck between realms, the magic power required to cross the level cannot be accumulated overnight.

The roar of demons could be heard in the distance, but Bai Jue had become accustomed to it. This was the second line of defense of Helai Mountain, very close to the front line. Every once in a while, blood beasts from the northern border would gather and try to cross Helai Mountain and head south, so it was normal to hear these noises.

At this time, the mobile phone placed next to him rang. It was a message pushed over. Bai Jue only took a glance and was attracted by it.

"The disaster in Bo City has once again shown us one thing: the Black Church is a completely inhumane organization. Let us mourn for our fellow compatriots who have suffered..."

Is it already this time? Bai Jue flipped through the news, thinking, it seems that it is time to leave here.

……

"Are you ready to leave?" Zhang Yanguang, the chief instructor of Helai Mountain, looked at the young man in front of him and heaved a sigh of relief. He was the one introduced to Teacher Bai Jue by Lin Ye. His knowledge had been drained out in two years, and he was worried about how to teach in the future. It was just right that he wanted to leave!
"Well, I want to go to the university to have a look." Bai Jue nodded. Strictly speaking, he was not a military magician, nor was he a member of the military. He had never used the military's resources, and he did not need to be bound by the military's regulations. He was just a civilian temporarily living nearby.

"Going to college...that's good. Since you're leaving, I'll take you to see some things for the last time." Zhang Yanguang smiled and motioned Bai Jue to follow him.

After passing through the defense line and entering the Helai Mountains, they were in a mountain range that gradually slid to the east and rose to the north. The peaks here were tilted and crossed like crossed swords, with pieces of flaky rocks and spear-like rocks interlaced...

There is no real ground to speak of. Below these peaks and rocks are thousand-meter cliffs, bottomless valleys and intricate cracks. It can be said that this is a large area of ​​rock hollows. If ordinary people walk on it, they may slide into the valley below or the bottom of the cliff and be crushed to pieces at any time!

"Roar!"

Continuous roars sounded, and on the steep and huge mountains, one after another huge rock feet stepped out from the stone walls and landed on the ground. Each foot was as big as a house!

The giant emerged from the rock and stood before their eyes. Its height almost touched the "Sunshade Rock Mountain" at the top of the entire valley, with an imposing and majestic aura!
At the same time, the entire mountain range was agitated. One by one, brown giants full of power climbed out along the steep stone walls. On the stone walls along the way, on the rock mass wrapped in the valley, and on those steep cliffs, more "people" pulled out from inside, and they all climbed to the outside world like an army. Looking at where the mountain people were going, the far end of the mountain was shrouded in blood, and a loud beast roar was heard. It was the blood beast of the northern border that wanted to cross the Helai Mountain.

No blood was seen in this battle. The Shanteng people had no blood on their bodies. They were elements and were called elemental soldiers by the local people in Helai Mountain.

The blood beasts also do not bleed. All their blood will be integrated into their muscles and transformed into terrible power to tear apart the enemies in front of them.

But even in such a fight without a drop of blood, one can still feel the cruelty. Some people who fell into the valley had their heads bitten off and their headless bodies were thrown to the bottom of the valley. Some were directly smashed into pieces, turning into countless pieces of gravel that scattered in the cracks of the rocks. Many were directly crushed into dust by the huge beast aura and flew in the wind.

"This place is close to the Northern Frontier Beast Kingdom, but there is not even a garrisoned military fortress city. There is only a preventive second line of defense at the foot of the mountain. We rely on these herdsmen and these elemental soldiers..." Zhang Yanguang nodded to several men and women wearing local herdsmen's clothes not far away, and told Bai Jue the story of the people trapped in the mountain and the herdsmen here.

Bai Jue patiently listened to these things that he had already understood, and watched the Shanteng people fighting with the blood beasts. This tragic and surging battle between demons made him slightly dazed.

"The herders are not herding beasts, but these elemental soldiers. The elemental soldiers have always been in Helai Mountain, and they do not completely obey the orders of the herders. They only wake up when the blood beasts arrive and temporarily become soldiers. Most of the time, they are sleeping in this Helai Mountain..."

"The herders used to be ordinary herders, not battle mages, nor patrol troops. But no matter how many livestock they had, they would never be able to make a living, because there would always be blood beasts crossing the Helai Mountain and coming down the mountain to hunt."

"The blood beasts were powerful, and the herders were weak. Soon the livestock was not enough to feed them. The blood beasts began to target the humans in our city. So on a sunny afternoon, the blood beasts crawled all over the Helai Mountain and came in droves."

"When everyone was in despair, they never expected that there was a village deep in Mount Helai. The people living in this village stood up and used powerful magic to repel the blood beast, but they themselves were basically wiped out."

"They are a group of hermits. The blood beasts can't find their valley, but they still stand up for the people around Mount Helai."

"There were only a few people left in the village, and the herders wanted to take them out of the valley to live together. But they refused."

"There is a man in the village who is proficient in the art of dealing with the dead. He used spring water instead of wine to sprinkle all the villagers who died in the war throughout the valley, and branded their souls on these high rocks, mountain walls, and the valley."

"The soul entered the rock, and the rock became alive. These elemental soldiers are the souls of those villagers. They gradually forgot what they were supposed to protect, but have been fighting for us against the blood beasts of the northern border."

"Bai Jue, with your talent, you will definitely go further than me on the path of magic in the future. If one day you are able to deal with the blood beast in the northern border, can you help me free those respectable souls?" Zhang Yanguang looked at Bai Jue with burning eyes.

"I will do my best." Bai Jue didn't finish his words. He never made promises rashly. Who knows what will happen in the future.
