Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

In the fifth tiger's den.

Returning with its prey, this responsible and devoted tiger met its end in front of its den.

"What a moving love story." Qi Xiaohao couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the scene of Qingyuhu fighting to the death.

Of course, compared to sighing, Qi Xiaohao was more interested in being silly.

No one present expressed much emotion about the two jade tigers.

Wang Yi's heart was not greatly disturbed.

Humans and monsters don't even need to discuss the issue of erosion between the two worlds; simply because they are different races, they don't share much common ground.

Their inherently different positions meant that they could hunt each other without feeling any pressure.

Just like the ram that the Jade Tiger brought back, killing you is merely to satisfy its appetite.

Wang Yi hunted the Jade Tiger for its bones and magic crystals.

Wang will begin dismantling the tiger bones again, while Huang Longxi and the others are collecting the bodies of their teammates.

Although Huang Longxi was grieving over his teammate's death at the hands of a tiger, he had also grown accustomed to it.

There has never been true peace in this world, especially for professional mages.

Life and death are as commonplace as eating a meal.

Huang Longxi and his companions stood before their teammate's mangled body and observed a few seconds of silence.

Fortunately, they returned quickly, which allowed their teammates to barely keep their bodies intact.

"Old Li, let's get started." Huang Longxi, who had already returned to normal, gave the order to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi walked forward solemnly and retrieved a bead from his teammate's mangled skull.

Then he released several bone-corroding fire serpents, which landed on the corpses of his teammates until their flesh and blood were completely reduced to ashes.

Huang Longxi took out a black bag from his body, carefully collected some of the dust, and then tied the bag tightly.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, falling at the crossroads between the two worlds—perhaps this is the destiny of a mage.

He carefully put away the bag of ash, the only thing he could bring back for the families of his fallen teammates.

After settling everything in, Wang Yi began his journey back to the Zhuchuan base.

This hunting trip was very fruitful. Wang Yi obtained a total of four pieces of jade tiger bones, with a total weight of more than 1,000 catties.

Among them were various beginner and intermediate level magic crystals, plus two tiger skins.

Even with Wang Yi's golden light body activated, carrying over a thousand pounds of tiger bones was still a bit of a struggle.

Weight was one issue, but the sheer size of the stacked jade tiger bones made it difficult for Wang Yi to carry on his back.

Fortunately, as experienced hunters from Takekawahara Bridge, Huang Longxi and his companions were very well prepared, even having prepared a human-powered cart to facilitate the transport of valuable monster carcasses.

After loading all the tiger bones onto the cart, Wang Yi found it much easier to pull, saving Wang Jiang from the hard work.

Thanks to Huanglongxi's companions, the number of people returning has reached eight.

On the way back, Jiang Yingying hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Huang Longxi, "Uncle Huang, what did you take from Uncle He's head?"

The entire process of Li Zhi retrieving the human crystal from his sacrificed teammate was conducted openly and honestly, without any deliberate concealment.

"Magic crystals, magic crystals that belong to us human mages." Huang Longxi answered solemnly, "Just like magical beasts, human mages possess magic, so naturally they also possess magic crystals."

Having been saved by Wang Yi and the others, Huang Longxi felt he had no way to repay them, so he did not intend to deliberately conceal such information.

"Human magic crystals?"

As Huang Longxi had expected, Jiang Yingying was extremely shocked upon hearing this information.

However, Wang Yi and the others still maintained a very calm expression.

This made Huang Longxi wonder if these teenagers already knew about this news.

The outside world has completely suppressed this kind of news, which means that these teenagers really did kill people!

This made Huang Longxi's admiration even stronger.

Killing humans and killing monsters are two completely different concepts.

Moreover, since the other party had saved their lives, Huang Longxi had an innate positive bias towards Wang Yi and the others.

Therefore, the speculation that Wang Yi and others had killed people did not elicit any sense of vigilance or fear.

Huang Longxi naturally assumed that the fact that Wang Yi and the others were able to suddenly kill someone meant that the opponent must be a lousy mage.

"Could it be that human magic crystals can also...?" After the initial shock, Jiang Yingying quickly asked.

"That's right." Huang Longxi nodded, confirming Jiang Yingying's guess: "So we need to take Lao He's magic crystal back and give it to his son. It's the last gift Lao He left for his son."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi couldn't help but purse her lips, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

So this can also be considered a form of inheritance?

The limits of humanity are indeed unfathomable.

It didn't take too long for the group to return to the Zhuchuan base.

Having already received the news, Jiang Yingwu hurriedly dropped the half-cooked dish and rushed over.

Only when he saw Jiang Yingying return unharmed did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Yingwu agreed to Jiang Yingying's suggestion to accompany him to the grasslands, he couldn't help but worry about her.

"Old Jiang." Huang Longxi stepped forward and patted Jiang Yingwu's arm, all his words ultimately turning into a sigh: "Good eye."

Jiang Yingwu was completely baffled, but he keenly noticed that Huang Longxi's team was missing Lao He.

With few people at the Takegawa Hara Bridge, the outcome is self-evident.

So Jiang Yingwu simply returned Huang Longxi's hug without saying anything more.

"Gentlemen, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Huang Longxi handed Wang Yi a business card and then said sincerely, "In terms of strength, I am naturally far inferior to you guys, but in this small corner of Zhuchuan, I have some influence. If you guys need anything, I will definitely do my best to help."

Wang Yi nodded in response to Huang Longxi's thanks and accepted the business card.

After that, Huang Longxi took Ding Yuanqi and Li Zhi and left Zhuchuan Yuanqiao.

Next, he will face an even tougher battle: delivering Lao He's ashes to Lao He's home.

In the nearly twenty years that Huang Longxi has been a free monk, he has faced this situation many times.

But each time, he was at a loss.

After seeing Huang Longxi off, Wang Yi felt a deep sense of exhaustion. He said goodbye to Jiang Yingying and then went back to the rest area with Qi Xiaohao and the others.

Jiang Yingwu sensed that something was off, so after Wang Yi left, he quickly pulled Jiang Yingying aside to a quiet place and asked her about her experiences over the past few days.

Even after hearing Jiang Yingying's account, Jiang Yingwu was still incredulous, exclaiming "Holy crap!" in his mind.

Although Jiang Yingwu had long believed that Wang Yi and the others were quite capable, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Jiang Yingying to accompany them.

However, Jiang Yingwu did not expect that these four people were so strong.

A group of sixteen-year-old novice mages, with their fists suppressing the Jade Tiger and their powerful lure of the Earth Dragon, roamed the Bamboo River Bridge as if it were empty, slaughtering indiscriminately. No one would believe it if you told them.
