Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The mid-tier magical beast, the Earthworm Dragon, is enormous, resembling a python, and lives in fertile, soft grasslands.

The mid-tier magical beast, the Ice Spine Rat, is as small as a cat and lives on the barren, hard ice plains of the frozen land.

A magical swamp can alter the terrain, turning any place you stand into a mud-filled swamp;

A magical ice spine vine can grow into a forest, turning the place where it is planted into a world shrouded in ice.

Earthworms probably couldn't stand the cold, hard permafrost, and ice-spine rats likely wouldn't like the moist, warm grasslands either.

Logically, these two magical beasts should never meet each other, and their magic should never clash.

But today, thanks to Wang Yi's matchmaking, the swamp and the ice spine vine have finally collided.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of what sounded like a mountain collapsing and boulders rolling into the water could be heard continuously.

In the swamp, the extensive root system of the Ice Ridge Vine was completely unable to maintain its upright posture in the mud.

Moreover, the swamp's ability to alter the terrain also caused the main root of the Ice Spine Vine, forged from ice, to melt into the mud.

That's equivalent to cutting it off at the root.

As a result, within the swamp, the Ice Ridge Vine began to collapse and disintegrate.

Wang Yi hadn't expected the mud to be so effective. He had only intended to try and move the mud to get himself out of there as well.

It seems that magic also operates on the principle of mutual generation and restraint. This icy world formed by the Ice Spine Vine has really bitten off more than it can chew today.

Ultimately, it's just a magical technique of the divine grade.

Wang Yi stood in the swamp, took out the few remaining low-level magic crystals, replenished his magic power, and tried to push the swamp forward.

The good news is that wherever the mud went, the Ice Spine Vine collapsed. As long as the mud was moved to the edge of this ice forest, Wang Yi could escape.

The bad news is that moving the swamp also consumes a lot of magic power, and Wang Yi's stockpile of magic crystals will soon be depleted.

Even though Wang Yi casually fished out several magical beasts that hadn't yet completely sunk into the swamp and dug out their magic crystals to replenish his magic power, it was still not enough.

Many magical beasts have their bodies pierced or wrapped around the top of the Ice Spine Vine during its initial growth stage.

If Wang Yi were to collect the magic crystals one by one at the top now, it would take too long.

Wang Yi estimated that he had been trapped in this icy forest for half a minute, and the swamp had only moved a little over a hundred meters.

In about half a minute, the Abomination effect on many monsters will end.

If they can't reach this icy forest before then, the monsters whose hatred has been neutralized will give up on killing Wang Yi after half a minute and rush out of the square instead.

Based on the precise timing transmitted from Yunxian's phone, Wang Yi could roughly estimate that approximately four minutes had passed since the spatial rift appeared.

Logically, the first wave of support should arrive within four minutes.

In that case, even if the monster's aggro effect disappears in half a minute, it shouldn't cause any major trouble.

However, Wang Yi is currently trapped in this icy world and knows nothing about the outside world.

Furthermore, the fact that the frozen world has not yet been broken means that even if support has arrived now, it is not a decisive force.

Most likely, they are ordinary people working at the nearby police station.

Faced with hordes of raging monsters, even with anti-materiel heavy weapons, without sufficient firepower to suppress them, one can only trade lives with the monsters.

Therefore, Wang Yi cannot place her hopes on external support.

Otherwise, Wang Yi could have retreated when the beast tide surged forth.

As a student mage who had only awakened a year prior, his decision to retreat at that time was perfectly reasonable and no one could find fault with it.

Moreover, if Yun Xian and Wang Yi hadn't stepped forward, the number of ordinary people in Blue Top Square who would have suffered casualties in the face of the monsters would have been in the hundreds.

However, for Wang Yi, the current situation is far from being a dead end.

Since we've decided to trap all the monsters in this square, we can't just give up so easily.

It's just that she doesn't have enough magic power; Wang Yi isn't helpless.

Since there's not enough time to dig up monster corpses to replenish magic crystals, we'll just use what's available locally.

It's just magic.

Wang Yi looked down at the dark mud filling the pit.

On the calm surface of the swamp, a bubble occasionally rises and bursts.

They revive by eating soil.

Wang Yi could never forget the divine-grade passive magic that he absorbed along with the swamp, belonging to the earth dragon and earthworm.

Wang Yi had been absolutely certain that it would be impossible for this passive magic to take effect.

In retrospect, it's true that young people shouldn't be so impetuous.

He's only been a mid-level mage for a short time, and he's already using it.

"Maybe this passive magic can also change taste, making the mud taste better, like chocolate or cream?"

Wang Yi was deceiving himself.

After hesitating for only a second, Wang Yi made his decision.

After all, the outside is a horde of monsters in grave danger. If we don't hurry to get out, who knows how many people will die next.

It's just a matter of eating dirt.

Moreover, this mud is a product of magic, not real soil.

Clean and hygienic, brothers.

Wang Yi exhaled a breath of stale air and bent down as if he had made a certain decision.

He scooped up a handful of mud with both hands and put it directly into his mouth.

I'm going to eat, eat, eat!

It has a moist, smooth texture upon entry.

It has a rough texture and is viscous.

It tastes bitter and has a fishy odor.

One-star review!

Sure enough, the chocolate cream Wei Chuan is a complete liar.

"Gurgle!"

Wang Yi covered her mouth tightly with both hands, struggled to swallow, and forced herself to swallow before her stomach could react.

The mud slid into the esophagus and flowed into the stomach without hesitation.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

Wang Yi rolled her eyes back, grabbed her neck with her other hand, and forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit, tears streaming down her face.

There was no feeling of full-body heat, expelling impurities, or feeling completely comfortable.

It was like simply eating a mouthful of mud.

No, it was just a fucking mouthful of mud.

However, the passive magic wasn't a lie; the magic power within my body did indeed begin to recover rapidly.

This mouthful of mud is roughly equivalent to the magic power replenished by a low-level magic crystal.

So, just a few more bites are basically equivalent to consuming a mid-level magic crystal to replenish magic power.

A mid-tier magic crystal costs at least several hundred thousand.

Wang Yi quickly performed a mental calculation.

Damn it, eat!

He reached out and took out a porcelain white bowl from the void, scooping up a full bowl of dark mud.

As modern people, we should at least pay attention to dining etiquette.

You can't just bury your head in your food and eat like crazy; that's uncivilized.

He picked up the bowl, brought it to his lips, and gulped it down.

Hey, this is what happens every morning when we old Lanling people wake up – it's so authentic!

Just as he swallowed a mouthful, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the dim and icy world, piercing through the ice canopy that was several meters high, and directly and precisely enveloped Wang Yi, creating a beautiful Tyndall effect.

Before Wang Yi could react, the brightness of the beam of light suddenly increased dramatically, and its range expanded rapidly.

Wang Yi's eyes were as if they had been hit by a flashbang; the world went completely white, and her already flowing tears flowed even more freely.

Wang Yi, who had been forcibly blinded, did not see that wherever the beam of light passed, whether it was the thick and tall ice spine vines or the various magical beasts, whether dead or alive, they all silently turned into ashes and disappeared.

*Slap slap slap slap*

Countless magic crystals rained down on the ground like banana leaves.

The entire blue-domed square suddenly became empty.

Only the oblivious Wang Yi remained, half-submerged in the mud, holding a large bowl, his mouth covered in mud, exposed to the sight of countless people.
