Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 186 A Massive Looting Spectacle, a Frenzied Slaughter of Second-Ring Rank Individuals! (A Long Chapter of 10,000 Words! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

[Top-tier vision: You possess eyes as sharp as an eagle's; nothing in the world can escape your gaze, and even the slightest obstacle cannot block your view.]

This is the special effect produced by the Eagle Breathing Technique.

There are no other special effects.

This surprised Li Wei quite a bit.

After all, based on his previous experience, the perception-type breathing method is the easiest to produce a second special effect.

"Now we only need a rudimentary breathing technique to fuse the Sky Eagle Breathing Technique and the Human-Faced Owl Breathing Technique and break through to the limit. I wonder what kind of changes will occur."

Li Wei descended from the sky and made some adjustments.

The time for the secret realm to open was fast approaching, and he quickly headed towards the Colin family's territory.

At the entrance to the Colin family residence, there were already ten wizards standing there, two of whom were full-fledged wizards, and the rest were wizarding apprentices of the Colin family.

Besides Dawn, who guards the family, the male and female wizards also need to enter the secret realm to collect resources.

"Your timing is quite convenient, Mr. Li Wei. You must have been waiting impatiently for a while," the male wizard said sarcastically.

"Yuko, stop talking," Linda said quickly, fearing something might happen.

"Don't worry, since both parties have signed a contract, I still uphold the spirit of the contract. I hope Lord Li Wei can recoup his 8,000 taels of silver. Don't blame the Colin family if you don't find anything good later," Wizard Yu Ke said with a sneer.

Clearly, in his view, even if Li Wei entered the secret realm, it would be difficult for him to gain anything.

Unlike Yu Ke and his group, they possessed maps from previous clan expeditions to explore small secret realms, each marked with fixed resource points, ensuring they would not return empty-handed.

Li Wei smiled slightly and remained silent. There was no point in arguing with them now. As long as he could find the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass, he would break even, let alone eight thousand Tai Shi, even if it were eighty thousand or eight hundred thousand Tai Shi. This was a true priceless treasure, and its value could not be measured by ordinary seven-ring herbs.

Of course, it would be great if you could also take advantage of some other opportunities in the secret realm.

Once the family members were all present, Yuko and Linda led the group along the Rogge Rift Valley.

Li Wei followed silently behind, keeping a close eye on his surroundings. He was also worried that the Colin family might cause some other trouble.

They successfully reached the source of the Rogge Rift Valley, where there are many wind tunnels.

Boundless gales emanate from these densely packed wind tunnels, their rhythmic flow like human breathing, sometimes strong, sometimes gentle.

Yu Ke arrived in front of one of the wind tunnels, and a crystal ball suddenly appeared in his hand. Inside the crystal ball, there was a spinning white tornado, radiating a strong wind elemental power. It seemed that this was the key to enter this secret realm, which was probably also dominated by the wind element.

Not long after, the strong winds in the wind tunnel suddenly stopped.

A spatial rift, similar to the one Li Wei explored in the bizarre realm last time, appeared there.

Yu Ke's face was filled with excitement. Two hundred years had passed, and he could finally step into it again. If he could obtain more resources, the Colin family might be able to rise again and regain its glory in the next two hundred years.

Linda watched all this expressionlessly, then said, "Go in, Lord Levi. If you're worried, you can follow us in."

"Everyone signed the contract, and I trust the Colin family's character," Levi said with a smile, his heart unmoved.

His spider-sense was flaring up faintly on his arm; he sensed that Linda, who seemed to have a friendly attitude, was actually hostile towards him.

On the contrary, Yu Ke, although sarcastic, did not seem to have any strong hostility, which was intriguing. Li Wei kept his thoughts racing and remained on guard.

And so, Yuko led the wizard apprentices quickly inside, and Linda followed, disappearing from sight.

In the end, only Li Wei remained outside. Beneath his robes, layers of black gold scales emerged, protecting him. His rocky body shimmered with a blue luster. Still not at ease, he cast a Water Shield and Golden Guard spell on himself.

After stacking four layers of armor, Li Wei finally stepped into the spatial rift.

Upon stepping into the crevice, one enters a moment of chaos, a state of being without perception or direction.

Then, Levi set foot on the ground. He looked at the Colin family's group in front of him. Yuko and Linda looked at him but did not make a move.

They had previously signed a contract stipulating that neither party could interfere with the other. This was to prevent Li Wei from seizing their resources or the key to the secret realm, and Li Wei could also protect himself through the contract.

"Will Lord Li Wei join us next?" Yu Ke sneered.

"Never mind then." Li Wei glanced at the entrance and quickly left.

"Without a map, we're just running around like headless flies. We might get eaten by the extraordinary creatures in the secret realm in a few days," Yu Ke mocked.

"Hurry up, don't waste time. We only have seven days to gather resources," Linda said.

Not long after, three figures descended from the sky at the entrance to the secret realm.

A second-circle wizard in a black robe gazed at the entrance to the secret realm and spoke in a hoarse voice, "This entrance is truly well-hidden. If it weren't for that woman's location tracking, we wouldn't have been able to find this place. Remember, first, seize the key to the secret realm. Second, eliminate everyone else inside and gather as many resources as possible. Also, do not expose our relationship with the Aisidi family, in case the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council investigates the family."

"Yes, Boss Blackflame, we are the black wizards of Black Sun Flame, we understand." The two subordinates nodded in unison.

The black-robed second-ring wizard nodded and led his men into the secret realm.

He is the leader of Black Sun Flame, an underground black wizard organization on the Yellow Earth Continent. He is the Black Flame Wizard Leylin, who has been a second-ring wizard for fifty years and is extremely powerful. Although he is not a senior second-ring wizard, he should not be underestimated.

However, this is only his outward identity.

In fact, he is the younger brother of Lehman from the Ashdie family.

However, he became a dark wizard at a very young age due to some disgraceful deeds and was expelled from the Ashdie family. Everyone thought he was forced to become a dark wizard, but in fact, he did so voluntarily.

On the surface, he was a lawless black wizard who did all sorts of illegal things, got away with it, and was infamous, making many wizards on the Yellow Earth Continent dare not speak out against him.

Behind the scenes, he remained loyal to the Ashdie family and became Rayman's right-hand man. Some of the dirty work and evil deeds that the Ashdie family couldn't handle themselves were done by the Black Sun Fireworks organization, with Raylin playing the villain.

Of course, thanks to the covert protection of the local powerful family, the Ashdie family, Leylin thrived as a dark wizard in this area. Each time he pulled off a heist, by the time the law enforcement arrived, Leylin had already vanished without a trace.

This is actually a common tactic used by some large families: a pair of white gloves in the open, and a pair of black gloves in the shadows.

For this mission, Lehman's first thought was Lehlin. Lehlin was a second-circle wizard and a dark wizard, and he was extremely experienced in both fighting style and combat.

With Leylin's help, both the Colin family and that kid from the Gray Tower are easy targets, a sure thing, and there's no way they'll fail!

Of course, Leylin's most important task is to explore the secret realm and collect more resources within these seven days, since the next opening will be two hundred years from now.

On the wizard tower of the Ashdie family, Rayman's eyes were sharp; he enjoyed the feeling of being high above and in control.

"One day, I, the Flame Prince, will become the sole king of this continent. Then, using the Yellow Earth Continent as a fulcrum, I will venture into the Inner Ring Sea, where masters abound, establish myself, and leverage the entire Endless Sea to become the Flame Emperor of the Great Sea!"

Lehman has great ambitions. He is a dual-elemental affinity and is only a little over two hundred years old, with nearly three hundred years of lifespan remaining.

In these three hundred years, he will definitely be able to reach the fourth or fifth ring, and if he is lucky, he may even advance to the sixth ring and become a high-level Yuanhun Wizard who is of great importance in the entire Endless Sea!

The outer sea area is nothing more than a battleground where weaklings fight each other; these opponents completely fail to interest Lehman.

In Lehman's eyes, a nobody like Li Wei was nothing more than a tiny ant that had intruded into his boring life.

……

Like the Great Rift Valley, the secret realm is filled with fierce winds that whip up sandstorms, and the plants and animals that can grow here are all extraordinary.

Li Wei estimated that the fierce winds in the Rogge Rift Valley might be related to this secret realm.

The wind elemental power is very strong in the secret realm, but the wind here is too strong. The further you go in, the more terrifying the wind speed becomes. It is unknown where these boundless winds come from.

With top-notch eyesight, perception, and a forked tongue, Li Wei searches for the secluded valley and icy pool mentioned by the tower master in the secret realm.

Generally speaking, small secret realms are not very large; Li Wei estimated that they were less than one percent the size of the Yellow Earth Continent.

In theory, with Li Wei's current range of perception, even a thorough search should be able to find the cold pool in the valley within seven days.

Along the way, Li Wei's forked tongue sensed information about some herbs he was familiar with. He found one herb after another, and he found it amusing.

"The Colin family thought I'd lose out, but little do they know, with the snake's tongue's perception, I can find any herb stored in my database based on its emitted aura. After this trip to the secret realm, the herbs I harvest will far exceed eight thousand taels. Your Colin family might profit, but I, Li Wei, will never lose!"

This secret realm hasn't been developed for two hundred years, so its resources are still very abundant, far exceeding Li Wei's expectations.

Li Wei took all sorts of herbs, even those from the first ring, without any hesitation.

If you can't master a reliable way to enter this secret realm, you'll have to wait two hundred years to get back in.

So, apart from the herbs that hadn't yet grown, Li Wei took all the other herbs directly, otherwise it would be a waste to leave them here.

By the third day, Li Wei's storage bag was already piled high with herbs. These herbs, just the raw materials alone, were worth eight thousand Tai Shi. A large portion of them were wind element-compatible herbs that were hard to find in the Endless Sea.

"Cool."

On a steep cliff.

Li Wei landed, possessing top-notch eyesight.

He found another precious Wind Chaser Grass.

This is a very rare three-ring herb, one of the main ingredients for refining the two-ring potion Eye of the Demon. This one herb alone can sell for a thousand taels of silver.

Li Wei entered the information about Wind Chaser into the database and began a large-scale search. He was now a first-ring senior wizard, and the next step was to consider advancing to the second ring. Therefore, it was indeed time to prepare the materials for refining the Eye of the Demon.

And so, Li Wei found three more Wind Chasing Grasses in this area, making a total of four, enough to refine four Eye Demon Potions.

"I've made a killing. If the Colin family knew that I took such precious herbs from this inner area, they'd probably be furious."

Li Wei was pleased with himself. With his top-tier perception and the Black Serpent's Letter monitoring in real time, Li Wei could easily avoid most extraordinary creatures and avoid pointless battles.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the wizards of the Colin family were still carefully walking along the map in the outskirts of the region, searching for herbs at their family's ancestral gathering points.

"Great, I found a ring-shaped herb. I can mark it on the map later." Yu Ke carefully bent down to pick the herb.

Linda, on the other hand, remained calm and collected, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Finally here," she thought to herself.

Not long after, a black streak of light flashed through the gale.

Yu Ke sensed the arrival of others and her expression changed drastically. She immediately became alert, her heart pounding with panic: "How could this be? No one else could possibly know about the entrance to this secret realm! Ever since Stella betrayed the family, all the wizarding apprentices in the family who knew of the existence of the secret realm had to sign a confidentiality pact, forbidding them from revealing it. Only a few core wizards who could be trusted completely were exempt from signing a confidentiality pact... Could it be... Impossible! Dawn wouldn't do such a thing!"

Thinking of this, Yu Ke looked at Linda, who was calm and sighed, "Yu Ke, times have changed. The Colin family is beyond saving. Join the great Aishidi family with me. Don't do anything later. Listen to those people and take out the key to the secret realm, and you can live."

"Does Dawn know?" Yu Ke asked coldly, barely suppressing the urge to attack.

"He doesn't know, and he never will..." Linda said expressionlessly.

"You..." Yuko's hand holding the wand was trembling.

Dawn is in danger!

To avoid damaging mutual trust and unity and creating unnecessary rifts, Dawn chose to trust Yuko and Linda and did not sign a confidentiality agreement. Neither he nor Dawn ever imagined that Linda, whom they trusted most, would betray the family!

It's too late to say anything now.

Soon, three figures appeared before them.

It was a wizard from the Black Sun Fireworks organization.

Yu Ke asked coldly, "Are you from the Aisidi family?"

"What Aisidi family? Do you even deserve to be compared to our Black Flame Boss? You don't even know the infamous Black Flame Boss of the underworld? How did you manage to survive on this Yellow Earth Continent?" A first-ring wizard sneered.

"What?" Yu Ke's face turned ugly, and she swung her wand, unleashing a first-level spell, Wind Blade, towards the Black Flame leader.

The Black Flame Leader neither dodged nor evaded, letting the wind blades attack, which were blocked by a black flame shield in front of him.

"You're courting death." The leader of the Black Flame Sect waved his wand, unleashing a second-ring Black Flame spell. Rolling black demonic fire shot out for dozens of meters, engulfing You Ke.

"Aaaaaah!" came Yuko's scream.

"Yuke, I'm sorry." Linda sighed and ended Yuke's life with a wind blade spell, easing his pain from being burned by the black fire.

A first-ring wizard burned by black flames has no chance of survival.

"You're very pragmatic. You two, just wipe out these apprentices too."

The leader of the Black Flame Clan spoke to his subordinates.

A one-sided massacre began.

The leader of the Black Flame Sect calmly picked up the storage bag from Yu Ke's body and found a crystal ball inside, which was the key to opening this secret realm.

"Are there any incantations or spells?" the Black Flame leader asked.

Linda shook her head: "This key has no incantation. It will only give you a hint when the secret realm opens, leading you to the entrance. The entrance to the secret realm is random, but generally, they are all concentrated in this Rogue Rift Valley region."

"I see... Then you can go die too."

After the Black Flame Leader finished speaking, another second-circle spell swept out and engulfed Linda.

Suddenly, flames exploded, and one of Linda's defensive magical artifacts shattered and fell to the ground.

It was this magical artifact that saved her life.

She rode the wind, heading towards the exit of the secret realm.

"Did Lehman order you to kill me? You've gone back on your word!" Linda yelled.

Leylin sneered, "You're quite alert. Don't bother with your pointless struggle."

He unleashed another terrifying burst of black flame, engulfing Linda in the black fire.

Not long after, Linda's body was also reduced to a pile of charred remains.

"Those who betray their own family deserve to die the most."

Leylin muttered to himself that he, Leylin, could become a universally hated dark wizard for his family, and for his family, he would walk alone through dark alleys, risking his life and living a precarious existence.

This woman actually betrayed her family; such a person cannot be allowed to live!

Otherwise, if she reveals the connection between Black Sun Fireworks and the Ashdie family, then her brother Lehman's years of planning will be in vain.

As for the remaining wizard apprentices, they had already been dealt with by the other two dark wizards.

"Let's go. There are still four days. That should be enough time to find Li Wei. That kid is pretty quick. He might have already entered the core area. The wind there is comparable to a level three or even a level four typhoon. He can't have gone very far."

After Leylin finished speaking, he led his men toward the inner area. With his second-circle wizard's mental perception, he would find that kid sooner or later.

Meanwhile, in the Rogue Rift, the Colin family's territory has become a living hell. Dawn's head is held in the hand of a black-robed wizard, his eyes wide open in death.

"From today onwards, the Colin family is history. Let's leave too. Let's all go to sea and hide for a while. In a few days, the law enforcement officers from District 7 will arrive. Don't cause any trouble during this time. Once the storm has passed and the law enforcement officers have left, we'll come back."

The other two black-robed wizards nodded.

"I wonder how things are going with Boss Black Flame?"

"Don't worry, that's the Black Flame Boss, the king of the underworld in the western part of this continent. He even has the lives of second-ring wizards on his hands. How could he possibly fail to deal with a few first-ring wizards?"

……

Day .

Inside the secret realm, Li Wei, who had made a fortune, beamed with joy.

"These 8,000 Tai Shi tickets are such a good deal. Once I complete the mission, I can ask the Tower Master to reimburse me."

Li Wei couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of resources in the secret realm.

The further you go into the inner area, the more rare and precious herbs you'll find.

Li Wei found several kinds of three-ring herbs, and in considerable quantities.

The snake's credit is used to probe the scents of herbs stored in Li Wei's database, while its superior vision allows it to see herbs seen in the encyclopedia. When these two are combined, virtually no herb can escape the detection of any area Li Wei has scanned.

"However, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, and my spider sense keeps flaring up. Could it be that the Colin family is trying to harm me? But with the contract in place, they shouldn't be able to make a move... Or is there some dangerous creature lurking in this secret realm?"

However, these feelings of crisis were not extremely intense, so Li Wei thought he should continue searching and leave the secret realm as soon as he found the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass.

Finally, Li Wei arrived at a canyon, where a chilling atmosphere permeated the air, and the temperature seemed much lower than in ordinary places.

Moreover, within this canyon, Li Wei faintly sensed the aura of a second-ring creature, as if some ferocious beast was lurking within.

"It looks like this is the cold pool where the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass grows. This is troublesome; there's a second-ring creature here." Li Wei frowned.

"Judging from its aura, there's only one. I'll go check it out first. Maybe I can have Ace distract that guy while I grab the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass and then make a run for it." Li Wei made his plan.

Having come this far, he naturally couldn't give up. After his battle with the Scarlet Witch, Li Wei realized that he actually had the ability to fight against a second-ring being.

Although the Scarlet Witch is weaker than a regular second-circle wizard due to her injury, her strength should not be much less than that of this second-circle creature.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei flapped his wings and soared into the sky. He dared not fly too high, for the winds in this secret realm grew stronger the higher he went and the deeper he went.

The winds in the upper atmosphere of this core area may be at the level of a level 4 or even 5 gale, which even a formal wizard cannot withstand for long.

Finally, deep in the valley, Li Wei saw a small lake that exuded a chilling, eerie aura. It was a secluded place, seemingly untouched by human hands.

In the middle of the lake, there is an island. On the island, there is a giant ice-blue ape that is three stories tall. When Li Wei saw this giant ape, he almost thought it was his own Great Ice Ape King, Hapes, in the human world.

However, Happes is still alive and well, so this is probably not Happes.

It is simply a superhuman ape-like creature that is very similar to the Ice Ape.

Li Wei suddenly remembered his Giant Breathing Technique. The secret elixir following the legendary Giant Breathing Technique required a creature with Frost Blood. This included Frost Giants or those extraordinary apes with an affinity for Frost Elements.

Doesn't this place meet the requirements?

But how do we take away a second-ring creature?

Li Wei shook his head; that was unrealistic.

Even if he could barely defeat his opponent, he couldn't possibly capture him alive and tame him.

Furthermore, the natural narratives of the first ring cannot be used against extraordinary beings that are above the first environmental realm.

"Fine, I guess I'll have to kill it. With such a huge size, its blood should be enough for me to train my Giant Breathing Technique to level 12."

The secret realm will close in a few days, and Li Wei can't possibly wait until he advances to the second ring before coming in to subdue the opponent. By then, it will be two hundred years later, and it will be too late.

So the final idea was to kill this guy and then take him out of the secret realm.

In the center of the island, in the place where the icy aura is most intense, a small black grass with seven leaves stands quietly.

"This is the legendary Seven-Day Resurrection Grass, exactly what the Tower Master needs. Phew, now that I have this, I can leave. I have a feeling someone wants to harm me."

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then cheered himself up.

Summon Ace from the insect house.

Since Ace is a living being, he cannot be put into a storage bag, so he can only be placed in the insect house.

"Ace, go lure that big guy away, as far away as possible. We'll meet at the valley exit in three minutes," Levi said softly.

Ace nodded, indicating that he would take care of it.

Having just joined Li Wei, it desperately needed something to prove itself, and this was undoubtedly an opportunity to make a name for itself.

Ace is a fire elemental spirit and can transform into elements. This colossal ice ape king should primarily use physical attacks, with frost magic attacks as a secondary attack.

Li Wei felt that Ace should be able to hold out for a while, and considering that Ace's fire-style speed was not much different from his own, there shouldn't be any problem.

Soon, Ace flew over the giant ape. The giant ape, who had been sleeping soundly on the island, opened its eyes. Then, without any hesitation, Ace blasted a fireball at the ape's furry belly, scorching a large area of ​​it...

However, it is clear that for this big guy, this is just a superficial injury.

However, Ace's provocative act had enraged it. It pounded its chest and stamped its feet, stood up abruptly, and leaped a hundred meters into the air, crashing down towards Ace.

Ace was terrified and immediately ran away, with the big guy giving chase.

After sensing that they had disappeared from his perception range, Li Wei did not hesitate to dive into the island and use a specially made container he had prepared in advance to put the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass into it, which went very smoothly.

This even made Li Wei feel like he was dreaming.

The legendary priceless treasure, I actually got my hands on it just like that...

It went too smoothly, without any obstacles.

This doesn't follow the usual pattern...

Although he was curious as to why such a strange thing would grow in this cold pool, now was not the time to explore and study it.

His blood-red wings fluttered, and he soared into the sky, flying towards the valley.

Before they even reached the valley, a colossal creature roared towards them, and at the same time, countless monkey hairs, like ice needles, shot out.

Ace was being held in the giant's hand and looked like he was on the verge of death.

"Damn it, Ace, you're such a loser. I thought you could get away. I had such high expectations of you." Levi couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Suddenly, the spider sensed danger approaching.

Li Wei dodged most of the ice needles, but a few that he did manage to pierce through his golden protective shield and water shield, and finally even pierced through his flesh and blood.

Li Wei endured the excruciating pain.

"Flame Body!"

Crimson flames roared around him, melting the ice needles, causing blood and ashes to fall, and his wounds to heal rapidly.

"What a powerful attack!" Li Wei's expression changed.

It's not that Estella is bad, it's that this giant ape is too strong!

He's definitely much stronger than that witch!

Li Wei spat out an ice arrow, which, caught off guard, shot towards the giant ape's large eyeball.

The giant ape instinctively used its hand to block.

Taking this opportunity, Ace finally broke free from the giant ape's clutches.

Even with its elemental form, it could still be caught by the opponent, demonstrating the immense strength of this giant ape.

After breaking free from the giant ape, Ace transformed into a streak of fire and appeared behind Levi.

A furtive, fiery head peeked out.

The giant ape couldn't fly; after leaping up, it crashed to the ground.

The earth trembled, and Li Wei hurriedly flapped his wings.

Seeing that the giant ape couldn't fly, Li Wei felt relieved.

Of course, he dared not be careless. Even if this terrifying second-ring creature could not fly, it could still knock him down from the sky.

He suddenly accelerated, with the giant ape rumbling after him.

He would jump up every now and then to punch Li Wei.

Li Wei possesses top-tier perception, enabling him to escape danger every time.

"The Blood Beast Breathing Technique is awesome; it's practically the nemesis of most terrestrial superhuman creatures."

The reason why supernatural beings are generally not as strong as wizards is that even first-ring wizards can generally master flight spells and achieve short-distance flight. After the second ring, their flight ability is further enhanced.

Li Wei also possesses Blood Wings.

However, the giant ape was fast and followed closely below, with ice needles constantly piercing through the air. If Li Wei wasn't careful, he would be pierced through.

Although these ice needles don't cause much damage, they have extremely strong penetrating power. They are concentrated on a single point, and even Li Wei's eleventh-level Black Gold Scales cannot completely block them.

However, with his rock-like body and the powerful regenerative abilities of his blood-red skin, Li Wei was able to recover quickly. Fortunately, the giant ape's ice needles were not poisonous, otherwise the situation might have been dire.

at the same time.

As Li Wei sprinted away, three wizards of the Black Sun Flame also hurried ahead of him, heading towards the core area.

Until the Black Flame Leader's expression changed, he sensed through his mind that two extraordinary creatures were chasing after him.

"No, they're not all extraordinary beings. One of them seems to be a wizard... and a bloodline-modified wizard from the Life faction. He's ugly and looks like a monster."

Because Livy's knightly characteristics were so monstrous, most wizards who were unfamiliar with legendary knights always mistook him for a wizard of the Life School.

"Isn't that Li Wei from the Ocean Faction? Could there be someone else in this secret realm besides Li Wei?" The Black Flame leader's mind raced.

"No matter what, this person must be killed. This secret realm belongs to the Aisidi family, and no one is allowed to take anything from inside!"

With this in mind, the leader of the Black Flame Sect led two wizards to ambush Li Wei on his escape route.

While flying high in the sky, Li Wei had already sensed the presence of unfamiliar wizards ahead through the Golden Serpent's Letter before the Black Flame Leader could detect him. He even saw with his top-notch eyesight that they were three black-robed wizards.

Although he didn't recognize them, based on his spider-sense, Li Wei knew that the source of the dangerous feeling he had been experiencing these past few days was not the giant ape he had just offended behind him, nor the Colin family, but these three ill-intentioned individuals.

"One second-circle wizard, two first-circle wizards... were you lying in ambush ahead?"

Li Wei's mind raced, and he thought to himself, "Since you like ambushes, I'll play along."

Here's a big surprise for you.

He didn't dodge, but flew directly towards where the second-ring wizard was.

At the same time, defensive spells such as Dark Gold Scales, Wind Spirit Protection, Rock Body, Water Shield, and Giant Kraken Entanglement appeared one after another!

In the valley a dozen miles ahead, the Black Flame leader, who had concealed his presence and was lying in ambush, revealed a look of delight.

"It seems this kid really didn't notice me. I was overthinking it. With his first-level perception, how could he possibly sense my presence?" The leader of the Black Flame Sect had already begun casting a spell, and terrifying black flames began to burn at the end of his wand.

Eventually, the distance between them grew closer and closer.

Li Wei plunged headfirst into the valley below.

The giant ape leaped high into the air, already in pursuit. It unleashed a palm strike, and a frost-covered hand, three zhang in diameter, materialized in the air, carrying an aura of frost, and pressed down towards Li Wei.

Meanwhile, the black flames of the Black Flame Boss, radiating intense heat, also swept towards Li Wei.

Both sides were filled with terrifying second-circle spells.

Black flames and icy palms sandwiched Li Wei between them.

There is no way to avoid it.

boom!

The shockwave from the explosion swept outwards, and the deafening roar echoed through the valley.

A plume of green smoke shot out, dropped a sealed box containing herbs next to the Black Flame Boss, and then disappeared into the distance.

It was Li Wei who used the Green Smoke Escape technique.

This escape technique from the Death School can reduce some of the damage.

After all, these were two attacks from second-level spells. Li Wei felt he had to defend himself as much as possible, otherwise his life might be in danger. Just now, the terrifying black flames had instantly destroyed Li Wei's first-level spell defenses; only the Black Gold Scales could withstand them.

The Green Smoke Escape ended, and Li Wei revealed himself.

On the outer layer of his scales, rings of black flames, like maggots clinging to bones, were burning.

This made Li Wei frown slightly. This kind of burning magic didn't seem to be from the authentic burning school; it felt more like the style of a dark wizard.

This black flame doesn't have a strong instantaneous impact, but it is extremely persistent and particularly vicious.

Fortunately, Li Wei possesses a fiery body, and his strong fire resistance limits the burning effect he suffers.

Finally, after Li Wei shed his scales several times and healed himself several times using the blood embers, the flames finally subsided.

He escaped unharmed from the second-ring attack.

He looked back and saw that the leader of the black flames hadn't caught up, because he was fighting the giant ape.

"Sir, the box contains the treasure I retrieved from that big guy's island. It's yours now, I'm leaving." Li Wei suddenly shouted to the Black Flame Boss from a distance.

He guessed that another reason why the giant ape was chasing him so relentlessly was that he had taken the Seven-Day Resurrection Grass, and it wanted to try to distract the black-robed wizard by doing so.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.

After the giant ape landed with a thud, it successfully engaged the black-robed wizard in battle.

That damned human dared to steal the treasure I was guarding!

"Who's your boss? Damn it, this is bad! This kid framed me! You actually found out about me all along, that's impossible!"

The leader of the Black Flame Sect looked at Li Wei, who was quickly fleeing into the distance, and suddenly realized what was going on.

"You're dead meat, kid! Once I've dealt with this beast, your death is nigh!"

The leader of the Black Flame Clan cursed angrily, his anger reaching its peak.

"You two, chase after that kid and don't let him get away!" the Black Flame leader suddenly shouted.

The two first-ring wizards immediately scurried off to where Li Wei had disappeared.

After flying about a hundred miles, Li Wei landed on the ground, looking at the two first-ring wizards who were hot on his heels.

He paused for a moment and asked, "I have no grudge against you, why are you chasing me?"

Li Wei remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

"We Black Sun Flames do what we want, why should we explain to you? We can kill you as we please," one of the black wizards sneered, already using a first-circle spell to attack Li Wei.

"Black Sun Fireworks? Never heard of them. Never mind, just kill them all!"

Li Wei grinned, his forked tongue flicking. These two people, one an ordinary first-level cultivator and the other a seasoned first-level cultivator, were no match for him even combined.

"Ace, you've got the hang of dealing with that weakling, right? Don't let me down."

Li Wei looked at Ace, who had just come out of the insect house.

Ace nodded, and his body began to swell, transforming into a five-meter-tall fire giant.

"A fire elemental spirit? You actually possess such a treasure? Then you absolutely cannot be allowed to live. This kind of treasure should belong to Boss Blackflame!"

One of the dark wizards, with a ferocious expression, was locked in a fierce battle with Ace.

On the other side, Li Wei revealed his true form: frost arms, fiery body, ostrich feet, sharp claws, whale back... and a variety of inhuman forms were unleashed.

Then he shot out, heading straight for another first-ring senior wizard.

"How ugly! What the hell is this?"

The dark wizard couldn't help but curse, "This monster in front of me is so damn ugly!"

He cast a defensive spell to protect himself, then moved swiftly, waving his wand, and a large fireball suddenly appeared, hurtling towards Li Wei.

With a bang, Li Wei's figure crashed into the fireball spell, then shot out through the flames of the explosion, baring his teeth.

"What did you just say?! Die!" Li Wei's face was contorted with rage. He thought his look was handsome and rugged, but he never expected this damned guy to have such a terrible sense of aesthetics.

"This is impossible! That's a Great Fireball! No flesh and blood body at the first level could withstand such a powerful attack!"

Fireball is widely recognized as the highest attack power of a first-level spell!

This dark wizard is now questioning his existence. This is his trump card, a move that, if it hits, will either kill or seriously injure the target!

Death was imminent. Li Wei flashed in front of him, his Undying Fire Claws seizing the black wizard's wand as he prepared to cast a spell, snapping it in two.

Then the Golden Spinning Palm shattered his protective spells, its claws piercing his heart and crushing it.

After the Sacred Armor Scorpion devoured the soul, Li Wei put the corpse into his storage bag to be used as a backup for the living dead.

Li Wei was already very familiar with this process of killing someone, releasing the armored scorpion, and then disguising the body.

"Dealing with a second-circle wizard's defensive field is a bit troublesome, but dealing with you shouldn't be a problem."

After killing a first-circle wizard, Li Wei murmured to himself.

The strength of a second-circle wizard lies in the ability to choose a second-circle defensive spell as their second-circle protective field.

This force field is different from the defensive force field of the first ring. The second ring's magical defensive force field is continuously effective and works, similar to a passive protective spell. Even if it is broken, it can be quickly restored with magical power.

This is equivalent to a second-circle wizard being constantly enveloped in a second-circle defensive force field. As long as this force field remains intact, the second-circle wizard is invincible, which greatly limits Li Wei's knightly abilities.

However, this doesn't apply to first-level wizards like those in front of us. If their defensive spells are on cooldown or they are not prepared, they are very likely to be ambushed and killed by the knights.

Moreover, given Li Wei's current attack power, these first-level defensive spells can be easily shattered.

After Levi dealt with the wizard and collected his spoils, he discovered that Ace had also finished his battle.

"Not bad, it's still somewhat useful."

Levi led Ace into the insect house, where he collected the storage bag of another ordinary first-ring wizard, and had the corpse devoured by the Sacred Armor Scorpion.

His gaze was fixed on the direction where the black-robed wizard and the giant ape were fighting.

On this side, the Black Flame Leader grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, because the giant ape's strength was far greater than he had imagined.

Even with his strength, he was finding it somewhat difficult to deal with a second-ring transcendent creature.

This must be some kind of ancient alien species, containing the bloodline power of a powerful being.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be so difficult to deal with.

"Let's retreat first. We can't afford to drag this out any longer. We need to deal with that damned brat first, then we can eliminate this big guy!"

If they want to continue collecting resources, they have to deal with this big guy.

But killing Li Wei is clearly more important right now.

Thinking of this, after forcing the giant ape back with a second-ring spell, the Black Flame Leader quickly used a flight spell to take off and fly away from the place.

Not long after, they saw Li Wei fleeing ahead.

That brat's got some skills; he actually killed his two men.

The leader of the Black Flame Sect had a cold expression, filled with killing intent!

"Sir, hurry, you're about to be caught!"

As Li Wei flew, he shouted loudly ahead.

"Still acting? You'd better die!"

Black Flame is smoking furiously!

The giant ape relentlessly pursued him, occasionally attacking the Black Flame Leader with long-range spells. Although it couldn't fly, it moved extremely fast, and the Black Flame Leader couldn't shake it off for a while.

boom!

A huge ice ball crashed into the defensive force field behind the Black Flame Boss, causing the force field to flicker and then dim.

Hang in there!

The Black Flame Leader swallowed an extremely rare defensive potion that could quickly restore magical power, thus activating the defensive force field.

"Don't run!" The leader of the Black Flame Sect unleashed a burst of black flame at Li Wei.

Li Wei had already anticipated his attack through his superior perception, so he dodged it immediately.

"I don't believe you can fly forever. Even wings modified by bloodline-modified wizards consume stamina and magical power. How long can you, a mere first-level wizard, last?"

Black Flame Boss sneered.

This kid has a pair of blood-red wings, and when he flies, his speed is no weaker than that of a second-circle wizard's escape technique, which is why he has never been able to catch up with Li Wei.

The giant ape behind them continued to attack Black Flame Leader, who was almost driven to despair.

Li Wei looked at the exit ahead, his face beaming with joy.

Just as Li Wei was about to leave the exit, the Black Flame Leader began chanting a second-circle spell, Blackfire Spear, with an extremely long range while flying!

A spear made of black flames appeared in the Black Flame Boss's hand, quickly condensed, and then shot out.

Li Wei felt a strong sense of crisis approaching. The black fire spear arrived almost instantly, crossing a great distance to attack, and it even had a tracking function, making it impossible to dodge!

He could only shift his vital organs and then fully utilize his black gold scales and rock body.

At the same time, the Vampire's Touch and the Blackfire Spear collided.

The Vampire Touch was sent flying backward, a sharp pain shooting through it, because it was Li Wei's own organ.

"Ouch! This black fire is really troublesome!"

At the tip of the vampire's tentacles, the little alien's head was burning with black flames, clearly not in good shape either.

The chilling aura emanating from Li Weishuang's arm temporarily suppressed the flames. Then, he decisively severed the burning front half of the Blood Clan's Touch.

Then the severed piece of sausage burned away in mid-air, vanishing into nothingness.

However, the remaining half quickly shrank back into the blood sac.

Under Li Wei's powerful healing power, a miracle occurred.

The alien's head, covered in sharp teeth, grew back, and soon after, the smaller vampire tentacles reappeared.

With the help of the Blood Clan's Touch, Li Wei successfully dodged the black fire spear and slipped away from the exit. After he left, he released all the undead he was with, including Ace, and hid them around the exit.

His height increased dramatically, and the five-meter-tall giant Li Wei reappeared, while the seven-meter-tall Nine-Sword Asura Evil Spirit emerged behind him, its three heads radiating monstrous demonic flames!

The six-armed jet-black ribbons moved without wind, fluttering in mid-air like a freehand ink painting.

Crimson blood filled his entire body, his molten heart burned with all its might, and large amounts of white smoke billowed from Li Wei's body like a column of smoke, shooting straight into the sky! From a distance, it looked like a plume of smoke rising into the sky!

Li Wei's face was contorted with rage, his forked tongue protruding, scales overlapping, muscles bulging. He gripped the Trident of Neptune, waiting patiently at the exit.

The paralysis spell of the Trembling Ring is also ready; paralysis would be better if it could work, but if it couldn't, it would be within Livy's tolerance.

Inside the secret realm, the Black Flame Boss increased his speed.

"Damn, that kid got away fast. But where can he run to?"

He cursed inwardly.

They plunged headlong into the secret realm.

Because the secret realm blocked perception, he had no idea, nor could he possibly imagine, that Li Wei hadn't actually run away, but was lying in ambush at the exit!

He had just appeared.

A monster with three heads and six arms, wielding nine swords, attacked with unstoppable force.

The second-ring defensive force field around the Black Flame Boss was shining brightly!

Stab it!

The Nine Golden Swords used their swirling power to stir up the energy field, twisting and tearing it apart!

"die!"

Li Wei descended like a god, wielding nine swords in a frenzy and sweeping across with the Sea King's Halberd, catching the Black Flame Boss completely off guard.

At the same time, billowing crimson flames poured from Levi's mouth, engulfing the black-robed wizard before him. Ace and the others also swarmed forward, unleashing all their prepared attacks!

With a thud.

The Black Flame Boss's body fell to the ground, already mangled beyond recognition.

Li Wei was panting heavily, his face grim.

"Damn it, paralysis techniques are definitely unreliable."
