Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi carried the tiger bone on his back, while the others carried various supplies. The five of them set off towards the third Jade Tiger's lair.

Having just experienced a life-or-death battle, Jiang Yingying's emotions were still fluctuating considerably.

Fortunately, her argument with Wang Yi diverted a lot of her attention.

The others, however, remained remarkably calm.

Having seen many ups and downs and faced life and death many times, he has a much stronger mentality than Jiang Yingying.

Unlike before when he was ambushed and Jiang Yue was still suffering from lingering poison, this time he doesn't need to return to the base to recuperate.

Because apart from losing the halberd, Wang Yi was able to treat all the injuries of the team members.

It's just that I'm exhausted; I just need to rest more.

The halberd is specially made, and even if we return to the Zhuchuan base, we can't resupply it, so what's the point of going back?

Wang Yi's halberd had long since sunk into the swamp, and with the movement of the swamp, it was probably sealed somewhere underground, with nowhere to dig it up.

Ever since Wang Yi started practicing with the halberd, he has basically never let go of it. Now that he doesn't have the heavy and sturdy halberd in his hand, Wang Yi is actually a little unaccustomed to it.

We can only wait until we return to Lanling City to have Wang Jiang order some more.

Yes, some.

Wang Yi was calculating his assets in his mind.

He has already earned 200,000, and if he hunts a few more Jade Tigers, he can easily reach a million.

A halberd costs 50,000 yuan to produce, so ordering ten would be no problem.

That's how arrogant they are.

Besides, it was Wang Yi who bent the halberd, so Wang Yi was prepared to replace it with a new one.

Looking back now, Wang Jiang endured the stench and painstakingly dissected the earthworm's corpse, piece by piece, just to pull out the halberd.

Even when it was bent beyond repair, the king still carried the halberd with him.

Wang Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A rational analysis suggests that this halberd clearly holds special significance for the king.

So even though it was bent into a fishhook, the king was still unwilling to give it up.

It is reasonable to speculate that this halberd may be a weapon that the king has used since childhood, or even a gift from a very close elder.

If this elder has already passed away, then it will be even more troublesome.

Wang Yi is now filled with regret, immense regret.

These factors were not considered when the halberd was bent.

If this halberd holds extraordinary significance for the king, even if he were to lose ten or eight more, it could not replace the emotions he poured into it.

Thinking about this, Wang Yi felt a headache coming on.

I wish I could fish out the culprit, the earthworm, and torture it to death.

The five of them traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently, and did not encounter any more powerful mid-level magical beasts along the way.

As for some low-level magical beasts, those that could be easily taken down were not wasted.

When it was time to sleep, the group set up a simple low tent. The upper layer was a camouflage cloth that was similar in color to the grass, and it was decorated with fresh bits of grass.

Then, people were arranged to take turns keeping watch, while the rest of the people could rest easy.

Jiang Yingying wasn't assigned to the sentry team; she slept soundly, even snoring, clearly exhausted.

It's not that Wang Yi has any intention of pleasing rich women or being considerate of girls.

What a joke! Jiang Yingying's wealth is only modest; she can't compare to Qi Xiaohao at all. Wang Yi didn't care.

As for showing sympathy, that's even further from the truth. You have to understand that when Hu Lili was in the team, she wasn't treated particularly well either.

Wang Yi simply didn't trust Jiang Yingying's abilities enough and was unwilling to entrust her with the task of keeping watch.

Otherwise, you might not even know when a monster will sneak up on you.

Of course, they couldn't say it so bluntly. They just said that Jiang Yingying was too tired from calculating the path, so there was no need for her to take on the sentry duty anymore.

As for what Jiang Yingying thinks, that's not important.

After a night's rest, the group, refreshed and rejuvenated, embarked on their journey once more.

Strictly speaking, they have now been on the grassland for a day and a night, more than 24 hours.

That's the downside of low-level interdimensional passages: the environment is fixed, and there's no rotation of the sun and moon. If you stay there for too long, your perception of time will become very confused, and you'll have to rely on calculating how many hours have passed to determine how many days you've been there.

After a long and arduous journey, when they finally found the nest of the third Jade Tiger, another day had passed.

Then, to their embarrassment, they discovered that the nest had been abandoned for quite some time.

The corpses and magic crystals piled up around the area had already been cleared away.

It's unclear whether the Jade Tiger was killed or abandoned its den for some other reason.

Wang Yi felt a pang of sorrow. He had only managed to obtain a piece of jade tiger bone from three nests, and had even encountered earthworms along the way.

I can only say that I wasn't very lucky.

Left with no other choice, the group continued their journey toward the lair of the fourth Jade Tiger.

Fortunately, the nests of the fourth and fifth were on the way back to the base. Although it was a longer route, it wasn't too much of a detour.

It's just that the first and second nests aren't as close as they are, so you can find both in one day.

The subsequent nests are all quite far away; it would take almost a day just to travel there.

When they found the fourth tiger's den, the Jade Tiger was not in the den either.

However, judging from the tracks, they probably just went out hunting.

So the five men began to crouch near the tiger's den, waiting for the tiger to arrive.

After waiting for less than two hours, the Jade Tiger returned dragging a prey with it.

"Brother E, shall we go?" Qi Xiaohao, who was crouching in the bushes, asked.

"No rush, let's watch some mukbang videos and let it eat its fill first," Wang Yi replied casually, as he was pondering a question.

"Let it die a gluttonous death, and you're still so kind." Jiang Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi gave Qingyuhu a chance to eat his fill, but unfortunately Qingyuhu didn't seem to appreciate it.

The jade tiger's nostrils twitched, and it released its prey, alertly adopting a wary posture.

"We've been exposed?" Wang Yi was a little puzzled by Qingyuhu's behavior.

They were at least 300 meters away from Qingyuhu, and they were crouching in the grass, so how did they get exposed?

"It probably stinks too much," Jiang Yingying said, pulling up her collar and sniffing it.

There were no facilities for scrubbing on the grassland, so they simply rinsed off with water, and the smell of earthworms still lingered.

"Good grief, it thinks I stink?" Wang Yi pouted, and his body began to be covered with black rock heavy armor.

"Give me a few Thunder Spirits, I'll blow it up on my signal." Reaching out to Qi Xiaohao for a few Thunder Spirits, Wang Yi cracked his neck and said to the others:

"Don't make a move yet. I'll go up and try to fight them one-on-one. I've been yelled at for so long, it's time I developed some resistance."

Although Jiang Yue and the others were somewhat surprised, they did not have any objections.

Anyway, Wang Yi is quite difficult to kill.

Actually, the antibody thing is just a pretext. It's just that Wang Yi absorbed the toughness, and Wei Xiao can no longer affect him.

With Wei Xiao no longer in control, Qingyuhu's threat level has greatly decreased.

In terms of strength, he also possesses the rare-grade Thousand Jun and the rare-grade Golden Light Body. With the two combined, Wang Yi felt that his strength should be even greater.

In terms of physique, Wang Yi was naturally no match for Qingyu Hu, but once he put on the Black Rock Heavy Armor, he was even tougher than Qingyu Hu.

In terms of recovery, Wang Yi, whose main profession is medicine, is far superior to Qing Yuhu.

With so many advantages, Wang Yi naturally felt that he could stand on his own two feet.

Qi Xiaohao had been longing for a complete tiger skin, and it was time to fulfill his little wish.

So Wang Yi, clad in heavy armor and with two lightning spirits clinging to his right arm, stood up and charged directly at the Azure Jade Tiger.
